THEY'RE FANCY ROPING YET;
NOT ALL THE BIG ONES, EITHER
"Hey, gimme that rope. Let me see
If 1 can do It." They're filled with ex
cltement, the boys are. all because
there was a roundup and rodoo hero
Inst week, and a lot of fancy roping
was done and the youngsters from
Hix to sixteen want to show every-
body that Chester Uyers had nothing
on them, when It come* to fancy rop
Ing.
All the kids have ropes, and be-
licve me, Genevieve, or whatever your
name Is, they ain't any pikers when
It comes to this roping stuff Why,
boy, they could rot)" an aeroplane if
It flew low enough
♦ ♦ ♦
They're All Doing It.
Funny thing, too. It Isn't only the
big hoys who can do the bent roping.
Knee high to duck klddnea can swing
the lariat about as well as Bill Hart
does In tho movies. 'Nnthnr thing,
too. they are not quite as particular
about what they rope a* Cheater Is.
or Oklahoma Curley or Ruth, What-
' ever her name was. Those boys will
rope anything from a fence post to
a chicken, and they're not *o par-
ticular as to what kind of chicken It
Is, either. They'll rope chlokena with
feather* on their bodies, or chicken"
with hair over their oars. One tiny
chap was seen yesterday trying to
rope a Ford, guess maybe he thought
It was a cow, because It bellowed ao.
You don't have to take our word
for it. You can see for yourself. If
you'll Just notice the next half dozen
or dozen or dozen and a half kid*
you see passing. But gee, look out,
or you're liable to find yourself trying
to step out of a rope. They'll get you
If you don't watch your P's and Q'f
and your head and feet.
These hoys are ropers what I*. And
they didn't have to spend all their
lives on a ranch to learn It, either,
they just took lessons from Chester
and them other fellows what roped
at the rodoo and won all the prlxe*.
♦ ♦ ♦
Step I'p and Nee.
Ami some of thee* dnys. these
same kiddles may hold a rodeo all
their own, and say "Stop right up,
ladles and gentlemen, and see what
we gut herein the way of fancy rop-
ing and everything." Can't never tell
you know, because Chester Byers and
the other fellows what did tho rop-
ing were small boys once, Just like
these little ropers here In our town.
|only maybe Chester didn't live In such
la good town.

DR t'HABI.US W, MAVIKI., I'asloi I'lrst Baptist Church. Atlanta, Oa.
In ' lias. W. Daniel whose strik-
ing face appears above arrived
Tuesday morning, leaving Atlanta on
Sunday night. Dr. Daniel who is a
great friend of the puMtor is said to he
one of Hie manliest men and prlnel-
liesl preacher* hi tlic Southern Bap
list. Convention. He has been pastor
of the First Baptist Church, Atlanta
foi a i!iiy.eii years, during ■ which tile.
lie lum reigned like a king ill the
hearts i>i Ids people, declining again
and again calls in many of the most
i.otable pulpits liotli north ami south,
1'listor ^ ties thinks that McKinmw
Baptists have never had perhaps a
stronger tea in of workers In a meeting
before and feels that ii Ills people
show tiie same spirit ol cooperation
which has characterised the church
since he came some sixteen months
ago. great things are in store for
them.
The general public is of course most
cordially invited to attend.
Dr. Yates himself is one of the
ablest ministers of the Southern Bap
tisi Convention, having held some
very prominent pastorates. He has re-
ceived Hplcndid support from the
people "i his church here who have
learned to love him. ISach Sunday ii"
preaches to large congregations and
his Sunday school Is one of the largest
in this section of Texas. It is known
only to an intimate l>*w, and that not
from the pastor himself, that during
bw sixteen months pastorate in Mr
Kinney Dr. Yates has had tender'd
him calls from some of the beat p.iI -
pits of Southern Baptist churches. I It-
is In love with his work at the church
here and has often expressed his ap-
preciation of the Baptists, not only ol
McKinney but the county. He has in
mind foi ward looking program for Ills
church here In the future and realizes
that much depends upon this meet-
ing. hence his appeal for cooperation
from all. The pastor will preach Sun-
day morning and night, Monday morn-
ing at 10 and Monday evening at 7: If, |
after which Dr. Daniel will assist in
the preaching, 1
The revival meeting at the First
Baptist ' hurch begun Sunday morn-
ing at eleven o'clock, with a large
congregation on hand to hear t
sermon of Dr. U. L. Yates. The Inter-,
est manifested at the first service of
these meetings was "very heartening
to the pastor, who appealed earnestly •
to his congregation fur its continued 1
support throughout the cumpaign. j
i'harles u. Miller, the evangelist
singer, who has direction of tho choir
and the music, opened the revival ap-
propriately 'With the selection "To The
Work." it was evidenced from the ,
beginning that Singer Miller will be
tbie to hold the loyalty and interest
of the choir which was given him at'
the servleoa Sunday. The Congregation
and the Junior Choir have promised
tiiis loader of Church music that they
an be counted upon to do their share
toward making tho music one of the
features of the cumpulgn. At tho
morning service* Sunday, the congre-
gation was asked to slug a chorus
alone, und the response was highly
graUfying to Mr. Miller.
Dr. O. L. Yale* chose as bis text, the1
words of the brilliant young prophol. I
Uriah, "Here am 1; send me." This text
was taken from the eighth verse of the
sixth chapter of Islaah, "Sometimes," (
said Dr. Yates, "We have to have our
props knockeii from under us and |
thrown on our own resource* iti order j
to bring us face to face with God."
"God's only method of reaching the
lost, is through the consecrated per-
sonality of the saved. It is tho gospel
in McKinney, according to You -in-
carnated Into your life and Into mine.
The trouble with most of ns. said t ho |
Pastor. "Is that we a re dillydallying
with religion." "Tho cause of much
'skeptlsm "and Infidelity in McKinney,
he said, Is largely due to the Chris-
tian People.
Dr. Yates strecused the value of
Christian Influence, and as an Illus-
tration. stated "that he has baptized
people, since becoming pastor of the
First Baptist Church, sixteen months
ago, who would have never been
brought I" the saving knowledge or
Joans Christ, but through the effects
of that Chr -dUke man, Dr. K. R. King
and his Codly wife, who wnlked to-
gether aid labored together for the
First Bap' «t Church for twenty-two
year*, during which Dr. King was Its
Pastor.
"Here nm I, *end me." I* a volun-
tary act far as this meeting goes.
and as far oa the dispensation of thla
church goea, It must alway be volun.

will never be any coercion."
Toward the conclusion ol his ser-
mon, I Dr. Yates brought forth the cli-
max by putting to the Congregation,
the "searching question, "Are you wil-
ing to place your hearts beside mine,
in tills meeting; to get under the bur-
den of this meeting. And how many of
you ure willing to stand und say,
"Here am 1; send me."
The response to this proposition
was almost unanimous, in the Congre
gallon of over five hundred persons.
Dr. Yates was further encouraged,
by the fact that ill the Sunday School
hour, -litK persons came through the
ruin to attend Bible School. This num-
ber wiih added to by the attendants
upon tho Church services.
♦ ♦ ♦
Kvciiing Crowd Immense.
At the evening services at 7:45 the
congreguliou was so large that It be-
came necessary for the ushers to bring
in chairs to accomodate the overflow.
"Wilt Thou Not Revive Us Aguln"
was used by Dr. Yates as a text at
this service, ills earnest prayers for
weeks, he said, bad been for a revival
In his church. He said that If his Bap-
tist people would Join with him and
with the deacon* of tho church In
eurnost prayer that the revival spirit
would come. "I call you to prayer"
said tho pastor. Bovlvals are born of
prayer because salvation Is of the
I/ml assert ed Dr. Yatos.
Tho music at the evening service
was the he*t heard In the church In
many years. Singer Chas. O. Miller
seemed delightfully surprised, not
only with hi* choir of adult voices
but with the Sunahlno Booster choir
and the singing of the congregation.

"I/Ot me say for Aaron Saplro that
Ills speech In the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation's grain marketing
conference was one of the most dra-
matic and far reaching Incidents over
recorded In th* history of American
agriculture," Daniel !<ewl* said In
writing of the nationally famed at-
torney and cooperative marketing ox-
pert. who will speak at McKinney on
April SO at 2 p. m. In tho district?
court room. In an article In the March
issue of "Finn and Fireside."
"Saplro succeeded In focusing the
attention of all America on the Cali-
fornia Idea: he suceoded In erystallz-
|ng the haphazard thought, of mil -
lions of producers Into grains of con-
structive effort, In galvanizing a
rather insipid Interest into a militant
activity for rural Justice.
"Believe me, we owe a vote of
thanks to this young California law-
yer. lie Jolted us out of the Roch-
dale rut: he made us study California
cooperation: he gave us the plans and
specifics Hons for a new marketing
structure which I think we might do
veil to erect as an experiment station
If not ns a permanent house to live
In."
