RAILROAD NOTES Wabash car and locomotive shops which have been idle since June 27, Monday will return to routine operation with the force on the rolls when the suspension was ordered.

The Chesapeake Ohio and the Missouri Pacific are the only major roalroads companies reporting an increased net operating income for May. Both systems are dominated by the VanSweringen syndicate. For the first six months of the year car loadings on the Missouri Pacific were only 2 per cent, less than in 1929. George Green of Horace, and Charles Rench of Dallas, after a visit of one week in Deca tur, Saturday, departed for their homes. They were the last of the men who came to attend the reunion of veterans to leave the city.

A statement from the New New Haven Hartford said that during the rush days that company has used 300 extra coaches and that many extra pullman cars. Pennsylvania tailroad company has abandoned the plan to extend its six track main line through the city of Elizabeth, N. J.

Preliminary estimates state that the land needed for the two additional tracks would not cost to exceed $60,000. In condemnation proceedings a single property owner was awarded one man owns all of the land. Railroad officials said the high-priced land was not vital to the improvement which in all other details would be according to program.

TURKS CLOSE IN ON WILD TRIBES Government Troops Hemming In Rebel Kurds, Village Pillagers tBy Associated press) ISTANBUL, Turkey, July 7 Official announcements Sunday indicated that the Turkish government is closing in on the insurgent Kurds on Mt. Ararat, and that the rebel tribes face extermination.

Bombed by Turkish planes, hem med in by the reinforced Nationalist army, the tribesmen, said a dispatch from Angora, are finding escape to ward Persia impossible. If the gov ernment's campaign is successful, it will break the power of the fierce Duelali and Haydaranli tribes. The latter numbers about 5,000, and for centuries has maintained its stronghold on Mt. Ararat, descending the slopes each spring to pillage the valley villages. Blames Sultan The Turkish press blames the present trouble on the Turkish sultan, Abdul Hamid, who died in 1918 after being deposed.

The newspapers say he gave unlimited power to the tribal leaders and sheiks many of whom were of the fanatical Dervish orders. The fact that the Kurdish tribes rec ognized no other authority than that of these leaders is considered respon sible for the present uprising. The anti-Persian tone of the press is growing bitter. The Valcit, discussing the situation Sunday, said: Sees Future Trouble "We laugh when the Pfersians claim they are. not responsible for the arming of these tribes, but our iaUgh today is merely a prelude to tomorrow's roar from the Ghazi.

Turkey denies that her forces are crossing the frontier to attack Kurds reported advancing toward Turkish territory, but well informed here pointed out that it would be difficult to respect the northern boundary rigidly. For 25 miles at one stretch the sole mark on the boundary fixed by treaty is one tree. High mountains have impeded the Turkish attack, and, rumors here said the Kurds had brought down three Turkish planes. The Kurdish tribes are believed t- have been stirred to action by the Turkish government's arrest of Sheik Selahedding, 20 years old son of Sheik Said, leader of the Kurdish revolt in 1925. The Turkish government Saturday sent to Teheran a note protesting against the arming and provisioning of the Kurdish tribes in Persia.

OUR ERROR Due to an error the item, Gillette Blades, which appeared in the Deca tur Dry Goods advertisement Fridaw "should readl 32c instead of 37a object for which we work is the same that it was in the days of Adam and Eve.

People the Same We may be building wonderful mansions, furnished with all the luxuries that modern inventions can provide, but the people are the same as those who moved in the huts of the backwoods, the pioneers of our country. These things have not changed the essential qualities of life today. "Lutherans, are frequently criti cized for living too much in the past, continually celebrating anniversaries Commemorations of anniversaric-are important because they remind us of the beginning of things. "And what is more important than the beginning of things? If the beginning is wrong, every subsequent step that followed likewise had to be wrong. Religion From Augsburg "If there had been no beginning of Lutherans there would have been no Protestant church today.

All Protestant churches take their religion from the Augsburg confession. 25, 1530, is not important to Lutherans only, but to all persons because it is a great day in secular history. The birthday of the Protestant church was when Luther nailed his thesis to the Castel church door in Wittenburg and 13 years later those doctrines were embodied in the Augsburg confession, proclaimed in Congress and backed by great princes. Conscience the Same "Conscience today is the same as it was 6.000 years ago. When we sin we feel the voice of accusation raised against us.

The next thing we try to do is to get away from it. And we even try to bargain with God like the Pharisees but in so doing we are cheating no one but ourselves. We need three things if we are to amount to anything while we live and do not regret having lived when we come to die. "The three things are Jesus, the word and the 'example of model living set by Jesus. Choir Sings "Time has nothing to do with the Savior.

No matter how far the church may progress it cannot get away from the fact that it needs -Jesus to rescue it from the present danger, despair and future destruction."
