One of the busiest corners tn the
city at present ie the corne rof Church
and Laiuar where the First Methodist
Church Is being worked over. J. A.
Thomas is the contractor and he has
promised to have the church ready
for conference which meets here In
October. Air. Thomas has employed
nearly a score of men and has put B.
F. Johnson in charge. From the way
the work id progressing the indlca
lions are that th* building will be
completed by the specified time.
When completed this church will be
wonderfully adapted to carrying on
the work of a modern church. The
auditorium will be capable of being
expanded so us to have the largest
seating capacity of any church in the
city and yet when necessary it can be
contracted tc the present auditorium
capacity. Provisions will be made so
that separate rooms can be had for
the primary and beginners depart-
ment and suitable grouping for the In-
termediate and senior departments.
Many of the organized classes will
have separate recitation rooms.
On the second floor will be almost
Ideal arrangements for the social work
of the church. A banquet room cap-
ablo of being expanded so that several
hundred people can bo served at it
single sitting will be provided. On the
same floor there is to bo a modern
kitchen and toilet rooms. There will
also be situated on this floor spaclouM
rooms that can be used for Sunday
school classes and business iheetings
for the Leagues, Missionary Societies
and stewards of the church.
Suggested plans for the bulldlni?

FRISCO MAN TKLI4 OF
LONG AUTOMOBILE TRIP
By request of the editor I shall try
to relate briefly our trip.
We hnd for our one article of agree-
ment on this trip: "Take time for ev-
erything, eating, sleeping, drinking,
amusements, etc., and get there when
you cun."
By I hi.) rule we had a most delight-
ful trip.
Monday morning. July 26, at 9:30
we, J. Claude Dick and family, myself
hnd family in part, found ourselves
with a full camping outttt, a Dodge car,
and a disposition to ramble. By 12:16
found ourselves under a spreading
T.iik on the historic Denton Creek, with
wittering mouths and a whetted appe-
tite trying to wait with the children
for the lunch to be spread. By 2:00 p.
m. we found ourselves waiting in a De-
catur garage for "more medicine, doc-
tor," for In trying to overcome the

and country the entire route since I
was over it three years ago. We are
having a good breeze here all the time,
not suffering from heat at any time;
but remember we are 3800 feet higher
than we are used to.
The people In West, Texas and New
Mexico still possess that Western hos-
pitality that has been characteristic
of them these years. You can't live
in the West and not be friendly. They
are treating us Just like company all
the time.
We are stopping at present with
Claude Dick's parents, Mr. J. M. Dick
and wife, who are making our stay

Chairman Stiff had a meeting with
his financial committee Monday night
and received reports from the team
captains. He was very much encour-
aged at the showing made. Only
about two thousand Is lacking of hav-
ing the entire twenty five thousand
subscribed. Enough cash was on hand
to pay the expenses for the first
month and leave enough In the hands
of the treasurer for a good start on
the second month, estimate. Effort is
being made to have the pay-as-you-go
program continue to the end.
While it is not expected that the
building will be completed till about
the time of annual conference In Oc-
tober, It is hoped that It will be far
enough along by the last of September
so that It can be used for the preach-
ing service. At present the pastor is
preaching In the First Christian
church. About the first of Septem-
our women speakers tell how Mr.
Bailey scorns and jeers at good women
throughout his campaign. Will their
dainty lips repeat Mr. Bailees unre-
fined jokes Can these speakers point
to a single constructive measure of Mr.
Bailey? Do they know of any good
thing that Mr. Bailey ever did, that
future generations can admire?
How can these women speak at all?
Our political Paul, Mr. Bc-lley, says
that women are too stupid to under-
stand politics, and that "women
should not speak In political meet-
ings." The only woman that Mr. Bailey
Udmlrea are dummies or are burled
alive. There are gentle, refined
women In that list of Mr. Baileys
whom 1 love and respect, and I be-
lieve that they will never speak for a
man who has failed little children,
who sneers at women, and prefers
saloons in politics to good, clean
women. If Mr. Bailey must be elected
let the hand of man bring It to pass.
Let not women help to betray then
sisters and the good name of Texas.
