Capt. 'Kit' Dalton of Jesse James Fame is Dead. Memphis, Tenn., Apr. 3.-Captain "Kit" Dalton said to have been the last surviving member of Quantrell's band of guerillas of civil war fame, and credited with having: been a close associate of Frank and Jesse James, died at his home here today. He was 77 years old. Dalton recently wrote a book tell ing intimately of the exploits of the James and other adventurous bands which operated in the south and southeast after the war between the states. For several years, it is related, a price of $50,000 was set upon his head by the governors of five states, but he never was captured. Instead, he with Frank James is said to have surrendered and stood trial for the robbery of a train near Franklin, Ky., under a tacit understanding that charges pending in other states would stand or fall on the result of that trial. He was acquitted. The other charges were dropped and he later removed to Memphis where he has lived for more than 30 years. During the early years of the war Dalton was a member of Forest's cavalry but later joined Quantrell. While with Gen. Forest's command, he won the rank of captain. Captain Dalton was a native of Lo gan County, Kentucky. Japanese Become More of Menace to West Coast. Cleveland, O., Apr. 3.-Japanese birth rate in California is so high and their standard of living so low that any immigration policy rather than exclusion will result in the ultimate destruction of the American popula tion in the west, if not the whole United States, V. S. McClatchy, pub lisher of the Sacramento Bee assert ed today in a luncheon address be fore th?1 city club. "The Japanese have neither the ability, the desire nor the power un der their government to become citi zens of this country," Mr. MrClatchy said. They are unassimilable. They do not care for citizenship. Their gov ernment expects Japanese in this country to remain loyal to the coun try of their fathers ano they are loy al to Japan." The chief objection to the Japan ese is not racial antipathy but the knowledge that their economic ad vantages make it hopeless for the white race to compete with them, Mr. | McClatchy explained. ', Waterglacs Keeps Eggs. Clemson College, Apr. 5.-One way in which our housekeepers who figure carefully can save money is by putting down in waterglass a quanti ty of eggs at this season of the year .when eggs are abundant and cheap. The best results are obtained when eggs from the housekeeper's flock are preserved by being placed in a solu tion of waterglass each day as laid. Thei'e is no chance for bad eggs get ting in the supply and injuring all the eggs in that container. In fact only one bad egg in a jar holding ten do;:en will ruin all the eggs in that jar. Many persons, however, have no hens around home and consequently must depend on eggs purchased from others. It is usually possible to obtain these eggs from a reliable source and to put them in the solution two or three days after laying. This is quite satisfactory. If there is any doubt as io the freshness of the eggs, they should be candled, advises Professor Hare of the Poultry Division of Clem son College, and only those preserved that are absolutely clear with the ex ception of the indistinct darker por tion in the center, which is the yolk of the egg. If there is a large spot or substance moving around inside of the egg, or if there is a large air cell at one end, the egg should be reject- . ed. A clean stone jar is the most sat isfactory container. An eight gallon jar is sufficient for about eighteen , dozen eggs. Rainwater should be boil ed and when cool one part of water . glass is mixed with ten parts of the boiled water. It is not necessary to "boil city water or drinking water. 'The crock is thoroughly cleaned and iscalded, then half filled with the wa- ? iterglass mixture. Dirty eggs, or eggs that have been washed should not be used. The eggs should be placed in the crock until those at the top are covered by at least two inches of the liquid. The crock had best be cover ed with a cover or cloth stuck on with some of the thick waterglass in order to prevent evaporation. If the solu tion does evaporate, add some pure water to keep the level at least two inches above the eggs. Place the crock in a cool place in the summer and with the jars of preserved fruit in winter. Even if the solution freez es, the eggs will not be injured. Eggs can be removed from the wa terglass whenever they are desired. Fer example a few eggs can be put jn today and if an extra supply is desired next month they could be re moved and used and more fresh eggs added when available. Sufficient eggs can be taken out of the waterglass to last several days,. Robbers Get Away With $45,000 Loot. Atlanta, Ga., April 5-The biggest genuine robbery Atlanta has had in years is today puzzling the police and detective departments. The Chambev lain-Johrcson-DuBcse department si ore was looted, the safe dynamited and a clear getaway made sometime between closing of business Satur day and opening today. When the au thorities do not know. The theft aggregates, not includ ing about $15,000 of Liberty Bonds not yet accounted for, to about $30, 000. The cash and valuables, includ ing a lot of jewelry reported to be worth $20,000 was locked in a large building vault on the third floor of the Whitehall street building. The police department believes the robbers entered th..- building late Saturday night or Sunday morning by scaling a water pipe from an ad joining building. Others, however, are of the opinion that it was wholly an "inside job;" that the robbers en tered the store during business hours, hid themselves, and were locked in when the store was closed Saturday night, did their work Saturday night, and made their escape through a back window in the store, which was found open this morning, but which usually is locked on the inside. The door of the large vault was cut with electric drills and blowpipes and the small safes on the inside were dynamited. From them were taken jewelry valued at from $20,000 to $25,000, cash amounting to $G,500, and other valuables not. estimated. Checks totalling more than $15,000 were strewn about the floor some dis tance from the safe, and about $100 in pennies discarded by the robbers. Ten Young People Lose Their Lives at Harper's Ferry. McCormick, S. C., Apl. 5.-While out on a pleasure trip yesterday af ternoon, traveling in two automobil es and crossing Savannah River at j Harper's Ferry, six miles west of Lownesville from Abbeville county, S. C., to Elbert county, Georgia, ten out of eleven persons in the party were drowned in the Savannah River. The party of young people were on their way from South Carolina to Georgia and had started across Sa vannah River on the flat at Harper's Ferry when the post holding the ca ble by which the flat was operated gave way allowing the flat to drift down the river until it struck a rock and capsized. Those reported drowned are: Albert Sutherland, 18 years old. Miss Alice Meschine, 15 years of age and her brother, Charlie Mes chine, 19 years old. \ Lester Walters and his wife, young coupie who had been mairied only six weeks. Little Inez Manning, aged 9 years, and her sister, Miss Annie Manning, 16 years of age, and their brother, Robert Manning, aged 22. Miss Alice Bradshaw, age 18 and her sister, Miss Lucy Bradshaw, aged 15. The only person in the party who was saved being Thomas Bradshaw, a brother of Miss Allie and Lucy Bradshaw. It is stated that thc high waters of Savannah River and strong cur rents against the flat loaded with the party and two automobiles in which they were traveling caused the post to which the cable was fastened to give way with such a fatal result. All of the drowned are from prom inent families residing in and around the town of Lownesville, in Abbeville county, and as soon as the matter was reported the whole countryside turned into a searching party trying to recoved the bodies of those drown ed. On account of the swollen river none of the bodies had been recov ered up to 3 o'clock this afternoon.

Cotwfr, PART OF PROCEEDS OF 75 B EMPLOYED IN ERECTING : SHIP AND OTHERWISE H CONGREGATIONS, : Several outstanding results of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign will be noted in the larger development of the rural churches. This development will take the form of a more efficient church and Sunday School life and in better houses of worship around which j the church and Sunday School activ ities will center. Through the enlistment department of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, Atlanta, Ga., weak,, struggling churches will be aided in development to the point where they can become self-supporting end employ a compe?en? pastor for much more of his time than has been 1 given these churches before, while plans for the betterment of the rural j Kiinday Schools through a series of J Institutes for the training of teachers In ad the Southern states this .summer will be carried out by the Baptist Sun-1 day School Board. Best Plans Are Recommended. Plans have been perfected by the1 architectural department of Hie Bap-j tist Sunday School Board at Nashville, i Tenn., in co-operation with the Church Building and Loan Department of the Homo .Mission Board, whereby local building committees can procure de tailed plans of the best modern church buildings for either large or small con gregations. These plans have been so drawn as to take care of every phase of church activity, the Sunday School and other departments being so pro vided for as to enable them to do their ! most efficient work. And a modern ! building, containing all these essential, provisions, can be provided by any j community that is able to build an old- j fashioned one-room church building, as the cost for the modern structure is no more than mat of the old-style one. Big Loan Fund Provided. To aid deserving congregations In building adequate houses of worship, the church building loan department was established six years ago and al ready more than 700 churches have been helped in building needed houses. ! The Initial fund, established for this j purpose, was fixed at $1.000,000 and an additional $1.000.000 will be re-1 ceived from the 75 Million Campaign. ! Applications pending now aggregate $1,000,000 and loans are being made at j the rate of $50.000 per month. No ? loans are being made in excess of one- ! third of the value of the property, and '. the loan made must clear tho property of all other indebtedness and thus make it possible to dedicate the build ing. From the 75 Million Campaign the Home Mission Board will receive, also, j $2,500,000 to be used as gifts in the ! building of additional churches during 1 the next five years, but this sum will be expended largely in aiding churches in strategic points, among them being educational centers where it is de sired to erect churches for promoting tho religious life of students, especially of those students affiliated with Bap tint churches. Of the 25,000 Baptist churches In i the South, 21,000 are in the rural dis- j tricts and in small villages, and 19.C0O I of them have preaohlng services only ! onve a month. While the work of the enlistment forces will be to help these weuk congregations solve their prob lems and help them develop in num bers and efficiency, the other denomi national agencies will help these strug-.j ILK PLANNED [RIOTS B?

Why Good Houses Are Needed. The accompanying illustration shows a typical one-room church building and also an exterior view and floor plans of a modern, well-appointed church building, calculated to take care of all the needs of a church organization and costing no more than the one-room building. This proposed building has many things in its favor as compared with the one-room structure, aside from its I attractive appearance. First, it is more durable, being so constructed as to resist wind and storm. Second, it is easily heated in the winter, its vesti bule cutting out the cold wind from the entrance, while by reason of the building having several departments it is needful to heat only the department being used on those occasions when only a small gathering is had. Th^-n the auditorium in the center is shielded from the extreme weather by the de partments surrounding it, though in the summer these surrounding depart ments can be opened up, giving abun dant ventilation. Again, the new build ing offers admirable quarters for the several departments and classes of the Sunday School, thus making the teach ing of the Bible a much easier task. Then the social life of the congrega tion can be greatly promoted by the better building.-in that it affords ample quarters for church receptions, ban quets and other affairs of this nature, enabling the church to give the young people adequate social activities under wholesome environments. This and many'other approved types of country churches are being em ployed now in every Southern state, and a more efficient church work is being done wherever such building has been erected, it is declared. Sufficient varieties of plans have been prepared to serve the needs of any particular community. BAPTISTS TO CELEBRATE 75th ANNIVERSARY OF CONVENTION. When the Southern Baptist Conven tion assembles in Washington, D. C., May 12, it will be the seventy-fifth an niversary of the founding of that body and will be known as the Victory Con vention, by reason of the fact that it will celebrate the successful conclu sion of the 75 Million Campaign. The local committee in Washington is making plans to entertain 10,000 dele gates and visitors. By reason of the fact that the future program of the denomination along all general lines will be formulated at this time, it is expected the meeting will be one of the most important in the history of the denomination In the South. TWO AND A HALF MILLION NEW CHRISTIANS ARE SOUGHT. Baptists of the eighteen states in the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention are now in the first stages of the campaign that is aimed to win at least two and a half million new converts to Christ in the homeland dur ing the next five years. This ls an average of 500,000 new converts for each year of the 75 Million Campaign and early returns from the evangelistic efforts Indicate the goal will be reached.-.

It is a stern, sobering event to the average man when he takes unto himself a wife. It means two mouths to feed instead of one. Two people to be properly clothed, a home to furnish, additional duties and responsibilities. It means more economy, more careful adjustment of finances. An account at our bank is one of the greatest safeguards the newly married man can make. Save a little something every week, every month, every year for a rainy day. The Bank of Trenton, S.
