Wilson at the Grace Methodist church Sunday morning. "It stands for organized ap preciation." The subject of his sermon was "The Society of Talosophy." The object o talosophy is the encouragement and uplift of humanity through the spirit of kindness. It is Christianity in ac tion. It incorporates the lesson of personal responsibility. It teaches how to live happily. It emphasizes politeness, kindness and sympathy, the flowers ot Christianity. "It has been scientifically demon strated that thoughts of hatred and revenge interfere with happiness. said Dr. Wilson.

"Uncharitableness and grouchiness are due to poison streams in the heart Love, personal interest and a spirit of appreciation make happiness and contentment.

Police Believve They Find Thompson's Slayer South Side police declare they will arrest the murderer of 1 nomas Thompson, who was found shot to death in his home, 4517 South Seven teenth street, Tuesday afternoon. "I am confident that the murderer will be found," said Cantain Vanous of the bouth Side police. We have number of clues and there is no doubt in my mind that the mystery soon will be solved." The police say that Evelyn Stoner, the little 4-year-old girl who was Jett at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Patterson November 1, has no con nection with the murder, the ciiua was left by her mother, Mrs. Ethel Stoner, who said that she was em ployed by a school supply house and that she was in need of money. The woman was accompanied by a man about 35 years of age, who, she said, was her chauffeur.

Supplmenting this list. 23 cities sent their teaching forces from the Iowa side, which does not count in the active membership of the association. Teachers living in other states are not permitted to enroll as active mem bers by the constitution, although they are actively in school work. This as sociate attendance totalled more than 600 this year. . Seven states sent representatives to the meeting which closed Friday, in cluding Nebraska, Iowa. Missouri, Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota and Illinois. This analysis of the attendance shows conclusively that the Omaha meetings are the representative gath erings of this important organization. The vote on the next meeting place will be mailed out December 1 and must be returned by December 11, with the count of the ballots scheduled for December 15 in Omaha. A refer endum, which seeks to alternate xthe meetings between Omaha and Lin coln, will be submitted.

PERSONAL MENTION. A son. Gordon Wlllard Smith, was bora to Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Smith Friday at the Clarkaon hospital. A son, Dtfnton Talma dg Drecher, was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Dresher at tha Clarkson hospital Thursday. "The bovs in the training camps are not as sad as you are here at home," said Rev. C. N. Swihart, pas tor of Grace Lutheran church, last night. He has been a Young Men's Christian association worker at the cantonment tamp at Deming, N. M., for three months. ' "Your boys down there are getting the bes.t of care and they are cheerful because they are busy most of the time and when they're not busy they are being entertained. "In the association buildings there we have something doing every night. 'Stunt night' is a time when any sol dier who can do something in the line of entertainment does it; on 'movie t:ight' we have movies, on 'athletic night' there is boxing and the like. Some nights we have religious meetings. After all meetings we have a short prayer service and it would surprise you to know how many attend these. We also give testaments to all those who ask for them. They sign a pledge to carry these with them always and to read a portion eacli day. You may think that is easy. But it is one thing to read the Bible in the privacy of your home and quite another to read it In your tent with eight other fel lows looking on who, perhaps, do not think much of that sort of thing. "One day a corporal, who has charge of the eight men of a ten, came running up to the sergeant and exclaimed, 'I don't know what's the matter with one fellow in my tent. He's down on his knees and praying like hell. "Another soldier met up with a comrade who was doing duty on the woodpile. He heard him taking the name of Jesus Christ in vain. He spoke ;o him about it. 'Why, I didn't know there was any other way to use it,' 6aid the man on the woodpile. 'I didn't know that was a ical person.' "And the great thing I observed in the work at Deming is that the Young Man's Christian association is reach ing a vast number of men in the army whom it couldn't reach at all if they were not in the army. There is going to be lasting good in this. "This war will be won by the sol diers of the highest ideals, and the men of our army, as a class, are men who have the very highest ideals.

Smyth, secretary of the Oma ha Auto club, returned from a two day jaunt over the Lincoln hiRhway through lows. According to Mr. Smyth, there is hardly a mile from Cedar Rapids west that has not re ceived extensive road work this year. There are only six wooden bridges in the entire state of Iowa on the Lin coln highway. Concrete bridftes, massively built and architecturally beautiful, are as common in Iowa as the old shaky wooden bridge is in Nebraska. Dozens of places were noticed where a rail road crossing and a twist in the road had been eliminated by paralleling theJ railroad. 1 his shortening process is going on all through the state. Kroni Cedar Rapids west for 37 miles is a strip of straightaway road without a turn, the longest straight stretch on the highway. (Tood roads in Iowa is & religion.
