BIG CONVENTION
BROUGHT TO END
Committee Appointed to Study Ad
vuability of National Publica*tion
for Denomination
Washington, May 18.?The Dia
tViQ Smifhern
mona convention Ui ??.*. ~
Baptist church, descrlDed as th<
greatest in the history of the church
came to an end today with the adop
tion of the report of the committee
on temperance and social service and
of a recommendation that tne constitution
of the United States be so
amended as to prohibit the use of
public funds for the support of sec
tarian institutions.
An attack on the national board of
censors was stricken from trie report
before its adoption upon ihe suggestion
of Dr. W. W. Landruni of Rus
ir,.
sex: vine .
Dr. Landrum argued that the attack
was libelous in character and
might lead to the recovery of heavy
damages frc ' the convention. He
agreed with the spirit which had
prompted the statement.
. Amendmnet to the constitution to
lirohibit the use of money raised by
government through taxation or
otherwise from defraying the expen
ses of sectarian institutions was proposed
by Dr. J. B. Gambrell, president
of the convention. Dr. Gambrell
declared it his belief that every religious
order should pay its own ex.
penses.
Progress made in the establishment
of a theological seminary for ne
groes was reported to the conventioi
and the project indorsed by two ne
gro Baptist preachers, Dr. J. W
Bailey of Chicago and Dr. George
0. Bullock of Washington.
Attack on Newspapers.
Appointment of a committee t<
study the advisability of establishm,
a national Baptist newspaper was de
cided upon after a vicious attack by
Dr. Ben Cox of Memphis on the
newspapers of thecountry and esoecially
the Associated Press, fo>
what he charged was their "unfair-'
attitude towards the Baptist denomination.
The newspapers and the Associated
Press were staunchly defended by
Frank E. Burkkehalter of Nashville
and Dr. Alex Bealer of Georgia, who
declared tnat uie Baptists nave not
been discriminated against in the papers,
and that the Associated Press
had always been fair and courteous.
Dr. Cox took particular exception
to the Associated Press report of the
sermon delivered yesterday from the
steps of the capitol by Dr. George W
Truett of Dallas, Texas, complaining
that portions had been omitted which
were derogatory to other denomina

FOUND OUT HOW TO BEAT HIGH ^
COST OF LIVING AND; PROVED
IT TO ALL COUNTRYSIDE.
I Thwe were no War Savings Stamps ,
*1 or Treisury Savings Certificates in the1
II days oI Samuel Johnson, the famous
j philosufcher, but the most effective 1
J weapon against profiteers and the high j
J! cost of living was known and em- f
I ployed am effectively then as now. ?
j Boswall in his life of Johnson calls ^
> attention to the successful manner
in which Mr. Peregrin Langdon masI
tered the art of living In, the eigh- j'
j teentk cer.tury. Mr. Langdon seems >
! to havo baja ? wonder even in the j ?
1 frugal coun^sitfe where he lived. Ac- ^
cording: to Boswe-ll he had an annuity j ]
I of 200 pound* a year (about $1,000), I1
land whilo ;lut s^n probably exceed-^
i ed an equal amount today in purchas- j ^
I ing1 power, this is what he was able . ^
to do with it: !!
' He supported himself, hto sister ''
(who paid $90 a yea? for her board) in
j and his niece. ' Tint servants," says c
the biographer, "were two maids and t;
. two men in livery; the appurtances to t:
! his table were neM ar-.d handsome.
| ne ix-eiiuemiy eutcnaiuoa tunij.'au.v at ;
dinner and then his tal?le wau well P
i served with as many dishes as were e
usual at the tables of othet gentlemen 11
of the neighborhood. His own &p- v
pearance as to clothes was generally 11]
aeat and plain. He had always a! f
'j post-chaise and Kept three .norses." i ti
Mr. Langdon's nephew, ii> writing to |
,[ Dr. Johnson, gave away th* secret i y
I formula by which all this \?ay made j p
| possible, a He declared that Mr. I?ang- j t
J don was able to- do so much with 30 ; f<
little because he paid for everything,
as soon as he had it except alone -what j
were current expenses such as rent;
for his house and servant's wages, and j
these he paid at the stated time with i
the utmosl^iactness. He gave not.ce
to the tradespeople of the neigh- tl
horing towns that they should no Ion- j
eer have his custom if they let any
nf his servants have anything without j w
paying for it. Thus he put out of his 1 ?
?iower to commit those imprudences I n
t.? which those are liable that defer ^
th^ir payments by using their money '
some other way than where it ought !
io to." .
In other words Mr. Langdon saved c,
first and spent afterwards. That isjJ
the fundamental p-inclple which the d
savings division of the treasury de-1r<
partmeat is seeking to instill into the !
America* people through encourage- a
EeRt of thrift and safe investment in
government securities.
Times hai e changed since Mr. Lang- n
don's day but principles have not, and tJ
his methods of getting the utmost
from his ifacome through economy, d
| elimination of waste, wise buying, CJ
| systematic saYing and safe investment
are as applicable today aa when ^
Mr Johnson lived. tI
Mr. Langdon'? nephew knew there- g
of he spoke when be concluded his de- a

follows: "Then*! few particulars may
afford Instruction and be an incentive
to that 'S'isa art of living which he
90 successfully practiced."

)ECLARES SHE LOST
BIG SUM IN OIL DEAL
jtforr\an Who Took ftfak Hoping tc

Sfit was filed in a western court a

Of course Uncle Sam does not nvnm
se any fabulous interest.. But he does
romise a splendid return. The govrnment
pays 4.27 per cent, and wh?n
'* e*emntinns are raclconed. the in
estsients just about staoks up witrl
tie 5% or 6 per cent investments ofpred
in substantial commcrcial enterprise.
But the beauty of an Investment

- HAVE YOU GOT MONEY?
"He's got money."
How familiar is that phrase: ana
'hat a lot of meaning it conveys.
It expresses a certain admiration,
lough the tribute may be reluctantly
estowed.
From the viewpoint of anybody
'ho spends his earnings as fast as he
ets them, the persons who "have
lonev" stand on a different plane, aljgether
superior to the ordinary run
f folks. By that mere fact they inpire
respect.
If you have a little money, nobody
an bully you. On the other hand, if
ou hare none, you are helpless and
o not dare to speak up for your
ights.
Without money, one is necessarily
t other people's mercy. There is no
scaping that proposition.
Obviously, then, the ordinarily comion-sensible
oerson ousrht to have
le gumption to start la, as early as
ossible in life, to put pennies and
lmes together and create a little
apital. i
The littl-e capital thus created WJI
lean independence?the moat praccal
and worthwhile thing in life. W.
. S. will enable you to acquire eapltal
nd insure future comfort and proserity.
BE YOUR OWN CREDITOR.
Benjamin Franklin, the pioneer of
merican thrift, said:
"The borrower is slave to the leudr,
and the debtor to the creditor. If
ou would know the value of money
*y to borrow some."
Be your own creditor. So rogulato
mii* AT-nonditures that the first
harge against your income will be
avings. Put aside a certain proporon
of your money for neecsfary
pending in the future.
Your savings are a safeguard
gainst want in old age, antl against
le rainy day. They form a fund for
lat golden opportunity that may be
a the way.
Your savings are safe and rer411y
vailable if invested in War Savings
tamps, guaranteed by ihe go- ernlent
and earning 4 per cent inte Mi
ompounded quarterly.
Make a start with Thrift Stan.fcs.
ostin'c % cents each.
Your W. S. S. at maturity will give
ou a bank account.
