"Flax Hill svenue is part of {he

Urged Children
To Follow Bible
CHESTER, fil’a“ July 29. -—
(AP). A recent message from
William Jennings Bryan to the
children of Chester was recalled
today. He wrote it to the Child- ‘
ren‘s Corner of the Chester Times
conducted by Miss Ruth A. Hoge-
land. It follows:
"Please say to the children:
There is no new advice to give
the young. Life is what. it has
been from the beginning. Tem-
ptations change with environment
and nothing but an inner strength
can resist temptations of any kind
or age. There is only one book
to which I can refer you and that
is the Bible. There is no other
book like it because there is no
other book which is the revealed
will of God. Follow it and you
cannot go astray."

Appeal Made to Man-
churian War Lord to
Get Release of Pris-
oner
PEKING. July 29.—(AP). Consu-
lar advices say that ransom in money
and cartridges, has been demanded
by the brigands who captured Dr.
Harvey J. Howard. of the Rockefel-
ler Hospital in Peking. more than a.
week ago while he was visiting at
the Manchurian ranch of Morgan
Palmer, a native of New York state.
The amount of the ransom is not.
specified and the whereabouts of Dr.
Howard is not revealed.
The demand is said to have been
forwarded to Samuel Sokobin. Amer-
ican consul at Mukden. who is near
the ranch. investigating the bandits'
attack.
Roger Green. business director of
the Rockfeller Hospital. has arrived
at Mukden, and is appealing for the
aid of General Chunk Ts'o-Lin. the
Manchurian war Lord, to effect the
release of Dr. Howard.
Morgan Palmer, long a resident of
China. was killed on the day that
Dr. Howard was captured. July 20.
Because of the isolated location of
the branch. where the‘httack took
place. on thofiungari river. details
of the affair have not been received.
It is known. however. that the moth-
er of Mr. Palmer. 3. son of Dr. How-
ard. and Harold Baldwin. formerly
of Derby, Connecticut. and his wife
sud child. who were at the ranch
at the time escaped.
Peking advices several days ago
expressed the belief that General
Chang Tso~Lin would be stirred to
action against the bandits. as Mr.
Palmer was personally known and

DAYTON, Tenn. July 29 (AP).—
A speech made by Willem Jennings
Bryan at Columbia. S. C.. in 1918.
sowed seeds of a friendship which
resulted in his spending his last
hours in the home of Richard Rog-
crs. Dayton pharmacist.
Mr. Rogers, when a soldier in
Camp Jackson. near Columbia. heard
an address by the Commoner. and
became at once an admirer. When
Mr. Bryan was asked to come to
Dayton to participate in the Scopes
prosecution, the ,young ~ pharmacist
wrote to Mr. Bryan and invited him
to be his guest during his stay here.
Mr. Bryan accepted the invitation
and established himself in the quiet
little residence on Market street.
When Mrs. Bryan and' other memo
bers of her household arrived. Mr.
Rogers and his wife and infant
daughter moved to & neighbors
home. that the visitors might have
the entire house.
Just before his death Mr. Bryan
dictated to Mr. Rogers three short
prayers which the Commoner had
been accustomed to offer as grace
before meals.
These are the brief petitions Mr.
Bryan dictated before he lay down
for his short nap from which he
never awoke: .
"God is great. and God is good.
and we thank Him for food. By
His hand must all be fed: give us
Lord. our daily bread."
"Be present at our table. Lord; be
here and everywhere adored. These
mercies bless and grant that we may
feast with Thee in paradise."
"We thank Theo. Heavenly Fath-
or. that Thou doest supply Thy chil;-
dren' s needs. May we in return give
Thee the service of consecntod lives."
