J. Aukerman is chairman. Deep regret was felt when Rev. Clif ton L. Fowler dean of the Denver Denver, was taken ill with the flu and unable to complete his series of talks on Bible psychology or to begin his second series' ot talks.

It-was a source of 'great pleasure to have him take his place Again on the program last evening. Vote of Thanks Given At the casino meeting last evening, a rising vcte of thanks was given to the Logan Valley company for the gratuitous use of the casino for the whole period of nine days, to Mr. Matter for the floral beauty that has caused so many to exclaim in appreciation, and to WFBG for faithfulness in broadcasting the talks and the gentlemanly Courtesy of their operator.

I. Carroll. The conference is also appreciative of the efforts of the orchestra, the conference chorus under the direction of Mr. Figart, Tom Filer and little Misses Horner. Saturday Evening Message Rev.

Mr. Fowler's sermon last night on "Restoration" was directed especially to backsliders. Restoration -is guaranteed, for when one out of the 100 sheep is lost, the shepherd will search until he finds it. This is a message for believers; in the Bible, the sheep are believers. It would be a marvelous thing he said, for this country if all tho backsliders in America would come back now.

Sunday Services Rev. J. C. O'Halr fc-ave a splendid message in the morning from the text, "The Lame Take the Prey." This is not true in the animal, commercial or social realm only in the spiritual, and this sermon was to show how God uses the weak to dumbfound the v. i Rev.

Music Corporation of Americ? Presents CHICAGO BLEW BLOWERS Interpreters of Modern Blues Direct from Congress Hotel, Chicago ALFAKATA PARK MONDAY, AUGUST 9TH Dancing 9 Till 1 RELY ON MARCUS for BETTER. DIAMONDS in Tour Charge Account Solicited Right of Way Obstacles for Double Highway Are Decreasing The obstacles in the way of the proposed new double state highway between Hollidaysburg and Altoona, are gradually fading, away, the only stumbling block remaining being Lakemont park where various changes will be necessary. Property owners, with a few exceptions along the right of way have agreed to sign releases, for their lands needed In making the road.

County Solicitor J. Lee Plummer hns discovered a transcript at the office of the recorder of deeds that settled the right of way controversy between Brushmead station and the northern boundary of the Katzmaler property at Hill Top. This showed that In a plan of the Sylvan Hills dis trict, made in April, 1906, a strip of land 84.38 feet wide on the eastern side of the tracks of the Logan Valley tracks, had been dedicated as a public highway, called Oakland avenue. This strip is 4,600 feet long, is in Franks-town and Allegheny townships and leaves a space of almost forty feet. Every property owner between Lakemont park and Plank road, with one exception, signed releases to their property claims, when visited by representatives of the county commis sioners.

There is, however, much property yet to be particularly a number of vacant lots, the owners of which have not yet been seen. It is expected that these will sign as they will get good prices. No improved property will be used, as the width will not be great enough to extend to lawns or front porches. It might be many years, if ever, that the state will demand full possession of the land to be taken. It is pro posed to have some of the state offi cials higher up, come here for an inspection and if possible, have them agree to the taking only of present requirements.

In this event, it Is believed that very few of the property owners will make demands, as the value of their properties will be much increased by the building of the road. As was stated previously, the Logan Valley company objects to the road, on account of damage, done to Lakemont park by spoiling the beauty and interfering with the excellent plan in use for handling the crowds by the loop system. Other plans are being prepared for the alterations at the park, which will be presented for confirmation. The right of way must, under the law, be obtained by the county commissioners, who believe they will be successful in their part of the road program.

Thus, a system similar to that effecting freight and baggage shipments has been put into effect in the express service at the cities and in the districts, where free delivery service is provided. This has been made necessary by the growing problems of the carriers in caring for an increasing quantity of shipments, which they have not been able to deliver, for reasons for which they were not responsible. Some of these1 are.

business differ ences between shippers and con-eingeee or the forwarding of goods -without provision for their accept ance upon delivery. In the interim. the carriers have been forced to maintain a costly and elaborate system of storing and recording such business. Three Days Free Time Three days "free time" is allowed, after which a sWagd charge is assessed at the rate of 10 cents for the first five cents for each of the next 5 days, witn a minimum ot cents a month for each shipment weighing 100 pounds or less, and a regular monthly charge thereafter of 50 cents per month or fraction there of. Shipments forwarded are'allbwed five days "free On shipments' weighing over 100 pounds the storage charge is proportionate: That is, any fractional part of 100 pounds is computed as 100 pounds, thus, shipments over 100 pounds and not over 200 pounds are assessed storage at twice the rate of the shipment under the 100 pound limit.

The carrier! however, is required to give the proper notice of the unsuccessful attempt to deliver and the charges are figured after the expiration of the free time from the first 7 a. following the sending of such notice. The charge does not apply to shipments to addresses beyond the free, delivery limits of the express company. Before becoming the system was submitted for consideration to the shipping public, including organizations of shippers and practically no objection was entered against putting it into effect.

ARE An old man stood at a counter in the corner drug store, pathetically drumming it with his fingers. he eaid to the clerk, "You don't know how fortunate you are, to have your own home. Tou are starting right. You know there is just Mother and me at home now and we have to move again.

My children never knew a home of their own, but they are married and gone." He smiled the kind of a smile that hides bitter loneliness: "It goes hard at my age to be uprooted from my surroundings, and I don't even know where we can find a decent place that Mother and I can afford." He had, all his life, intended to buy a home, but the years had gone by and he had grown old. A HOME holds together the chords of sentiment, understanding and love." Get a home how! Invest in family contentment! Unless you do that, you are running the risk of the most disillusioned old age it is possible for life to mete out to you. FACTS back this statement. On all sides are evidences of the strides Altoona is making toward its REAL GREATNESS. North side, south side, all around the town, there is one thought that is paramount in the mind -oi the citizens: "THIS CITY IS A GOOD CITY IT IS MY CITY AS IT GROWS, I GROW AS IT PROSPERS, I PROSPER-AND I AM GOING TO HELP ALTOONA GROW." Altoona citizens are DOERS.

They know the value of constructive effort, of whole-hearted co-operation.
