Church Attracts Many Distinguished Prelates.
TO HOLD SIX-DAY SESSION
The thirtieth annual session Ohio
United Conference of the Evangelical
Church will be held in the McDonaldsville church, near North Canton, from
Tuesday, Sept. 4 to 10, inclusive, and
the importance of the meeting may be
gleaned from the fact that two
bishops; an eminent authority on missions; two musicians of national reputation, and several clergymen widely
known for their ability will take part
in the proceedings. Seldom, if indeed,
ever, has so much talent met in a
town the size of McDonaldsville.

States for their eloquence, learning
and executive ability.
The Rev. Mr. Wiener of Naperville,
Illinois, will address the conference,
in the interest of missions. This is a
subject with which he is familiar, and
Vhis views are bound to have a decided
/effect on this important question.

A few days ago Mr. Poling decided
to publish a twelve-page folder containing the program ef the conference. Business men of North Canton,
Greensburg and Greentown gave him
advertising and when the delegates
meet they will see a classy program
in keeping with the occasion. It. is
doubtful, too, if a small town ever
undertook such a pretestiMis program
as this one.
The citizens of McDonaldsville, with
their usual generosity, are gnio-**: to

If tbe Weather Man wants to win
the everlasting gratitude of the entire
population ef North Canton, Greentown, Uniontown and hundreds of persons in Canton he should see to it that
the sna begins to shine early on Friday and stays on the job for a full
day's work.
We *ans in North Canton are as
aeepiy interested in the question
"What kind of weather are we going
to get en Friday?" as are thousands
a£ cox wealthy friends in New York
and "Philadelphia at Easter. Rain
spoils the Fifth avenue fashion promenade and the Atlantic City rolling
chaar "review," and rain will dampen
the e-rfhosiasm of the people in The
Son's territory. So here's hoping that
anyGMng pluvial  gets  shunted  to  a
("bilelraek until the "big  doins"  are
over.
Besiness Houses To Close
The business men at their meeting
oa Monday night voted to co-operate
with the Hoover company, and as a
result all stores will be closed on Friday in Northf Canton. The provision
stores and the Schafer & Messerly
drog store will keep open until 10
o'clock but after that hour it is "All
aboavd for Springfield Lake," and a
£a*y ef real old-fashioned pleasure is
allured everyone fortunate enough to
fce there.
Reduced Rates To Lake
The N. O. T. has cut the rate to
the take on Friday. From Canton the
rutDSd-fare for adults will be 50 cents;
cMldren, 25 cents.
From North Canton, adults, round-
trip, 40 cents; children, 20 cents.
Special ears leave thc Square in
Canton at 9:00 a. m. on Friday. These
ears will be marked with Hoover ban-
nsMt, and it hi the wish of the transportation committee that all employes
of the Hoover company and their families H-ving* in Canton make use of
these special cars. Reduced rate tickets tan be purchased at the N. O. T.

The business people of North Canton held
a meeting in'the Community Building on Monday
night. This meeting consisted of those who have
formed a temporary organization as a preliminary step to a permanent organization, having
as its object the advancement of North Canton.
A number of persons expressed their views,
but as most of the evening was taken up with
talks from J. M. Markley of Canton and Charles
Sala of Miama, Florida, nothing definite was
decided upon, although every one present
believed such an organization should be formed.
Mr. Sala dwelt upon the value of character
and gave it as his opinion th;:t in business a man.
could be judged bost by the three C's—Character, Capability and Capital; giving character
65 per cent, capability 25 por cent avd capital
10 per cent.
The next meeting will be held on Monday.
September 17, at .8 p.m. in the Community
Building.

association and Mrs. Eleanore Hall is secretary.

V-.-Z& .Yri'v-jjaayliip. during' the last part of conference
tseoaiom.
After his introduction to the audience by President Gross, Mr. Mark-
ley said:
Mr. President, Ladies: and Gentlemen:
You are assembled here tonight
amidst the most pleasant of surroundings and appear to have a spirit
of determination to do something that
will mark the beginning of a new
epoch in the life of your town.
You have felt the impulse that has
inspired you to service, and realizing
that in union there is strength you
have come here to offer yourself as
a willing worker in any organization
that will have for its object the betterment of your community.
You are to be congratulated for
this, and as I look into the faces of
representative citizens of this place,
I fancy I see a vision of a bigger,
luMer, more prominent North Canton
in the future. You well may have a
deep and lasting pride in your beautiful growing town, with its charming
homes, its fine churches and schools,
its magnificent manufacturing industry, its substantial business enterprises, its beautiful streets bordered
with green and shady trees, its velvet
lawns,, its sparkling clear water and
many other blessings and conveniences
that ever attend your daily needs.
So I say that you haie much to he
thankful for, and with a clear brain,
a strong arm and a brave heart you
are equipped to go forth and fight the
battles of life as you pave thc way
for aii even more glorious future for
•■ouivelves an 1 yoor posterity.

Must Keep Busy
But on every hand there is much for
each of us to do if we would help to
build our town and with it help our-
clvch. Idleness or inactivity on the
part of a community as well as that
* f an  individual  is a forerunner  of
''-a:-t?r and decay and self-satisfae-
*:-'!i  load:'   to sure defeat.   The  only
' "■ *'* ■■)'..•.!•.<» !-'.vnl is to keep on ir.al:-

v.'f  do -,ve -K-on will  f.iti  behind  ai d
!"ii 'ti:; .■•/'!(.oi.i that v;e ever train
f'.o   place  wc   hid   before.
My   inir.d'.s   eye   goes   hack  to   the
:s'.v when T first knew this place
."'in:o 18 or 20 years ago, as a mere
-! i'''■'''in<;' vil'are of a few hundred
inhabitants, ppparently little con-
corv.cd   about  Hie   future  and   never
dreaming that some day it would be
the home of the great Hoover Suction
Sweeper industry. But times have
changed. Honest, hardworking, Godfearing men who had a vision caught
it from the wings of time and brought
it to a realisation before your very
eyes, and today you sit amazed at its
greatness and encompassed within tbe
shadow of that institution whose name
and fame has gone round the world
and brought the blessings of health,
of ease, of comfort and of convenience into the homes of tens of thousands of peode in all parts of the
world.

For the Good of All
Now, your home town will be just
what you make it and all you are
today is reflected in all that you have
been in the past Whatever you come
to in the future depends upon what
you  are  doing  right now.
It is therefore fitting and proper
that the citizens of North Canton
unite in a spirit of civic betterment
for the common good of its inhabitants.
During the past ten years 1 have
had the good foilune to be associated
with men from all walks of life, having met them in connection with activities of the old Canton Adcraft
club, the Chamber of Commerce, the
Rotary club, the church and other organizations, and feel sure that such
association has been of very great
value to me.
Many   within   the   hearing   of  my
voice  have  had   similar experiences.
Someone   paid,   "We   cannot   become
great by associating with the great,
but we may become greater than what
we were because of that association."
Men  are  broadened  in their views
by meeting each other.   Each person
unconsciously ' takes    on    something
from  those  with  whom  he  comes in
contact.    Each   person   is   constantly
adding to his structure, and how important it is that his environment be
if the best type.   We are a part of
all we have met and to quote from
this Scriptures: "How good it is when
men  can  live  together as   brother -,."
Your   community   never   can    rise
above the lev id of its eiT.ize.'jship. Men
!.i:;v come ar.d men may go hut c.-i-.-i-
nu'iiities   gradually   develop   in   proportion  to  the  cooperation  and  sup-
Port that ha< l.-eon given bv its members.
X    X    £   X
Boost  Your Community
Now, what are some of the things
'.hat a community or civic organiza
tion might do, is a question, the answer of which you would like to know.
There are many things, many activities which, if engaged in, will contribute to your development in many
ways.
A great portion of the success of
New England was due to the town
meetings which it held, a common
place where the citizens got together
in bonds of friendship and thrashed
out problems common to the interests
of all.
Many of you will remember the old-
fashioned literary societies, the debates, and of the value such institutions were to the community. You
are interested in a good band, in night
schools, in kindergartens, in better day
schools. There should be a better cooperation and a closer relationship between the teacher and the parents.
We seem to pay more, attention,
nowadays, to tho immaterial things
and less to the really permanent and
le sting things of life, namely the education of our youth.
What above civic pride, cleaner
streets, prizes for best kept lawns,
beautiful gardens, no vacant lots
growing up in weeds, no unsightly
buildings, better paved streets, better
fire protection?
This community is to be congratulated for its Vacation Bible schools,
having been the pioneer us I under-
rtand in that movement. North Canton might well be styled "The City
Beautiful." It all depends upon tht
activities of its citizens.
What about thrift campaigns, encouraging home owning, teaching thp
young how \o work and to save, an'1
work among boys and girls? Th'-
kirger your town grows and the more
beantiful it becomes, the more valuable your property is. Let the civic
association be a clearing house of cooperation and betterment and let you;
energy be constructive, not destructive.
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Push! Don't knock, but boost! Praise
your town wherever you go. Be a
good neighbor, a good citizen, and you
will attract others who will enjoy living within your midst.

Favors Organization
I   know   of   no   better   way   than
Ihroi.yh the medium of an association
whereby the representative citizens of
riiis community  can  get   together at
: tated  interval';  and  discuss  matters
• 'emmon to the interests of the people
of your town.   Speakers are always
available and they can bring to you
