fencing for corncribs. There isn't an
editor in the State that isn't taking corn

the 200, 900, 900 bushels of corn raised in

THE DAYrs MONROE DocrRrNr

If the Davis resolution favorably re-
ported yesterday to the Senate from the
Committee on Foreign Relations is
adopted there will thereafter be no
doubt what the Monroe doctrine means
This resolution declares that the United
States of America reaf1irms and con
firms the doctrines and principles pro
mulgated by President Monroe in his
message Of December 2, 1923, and de-
clares that it will assert and maintain
that doctrine and those principles, and
will regard any infringement thereof,
and particularly any attempt by any
European power to take or acquire any
new territory on the American CONT
nents, or any islands adjacent thereto,
for any right of sovereignty or domin-
ion in the same, in any case or instance
as to which the United States shall
deem such attempt to be dangerous to
its peace and safety, by or through
force, purchase, cession, occupation,
pledge, colonization, protectorate, or by
control of the easement in canal or any
other means of transit across the Amer
lean isthanus, whether on unfounded pre-
tension of right, in cases of alleged
boundary disputes, or under other I'M
founded pretensions, as the manifesto
ton OF an unfriendly disposition to-
wards the United States, and as an in
terposition which it would be impossible
in any form for the United States to re-
gard with indifference.
This is plain enough and comprehend
! sive enough to suit the most ardent
upholder- of the Monroe doctrine. OF
course it will be charged that this res
olution is an attempt of the Republi-
cans to get ahead Of the Democrats
and an attempt of Senator Davis to
start presidential boom for himself.
But as the Presidents declaration was
called an attempt to get ahead of the
Republicans and an attempt of the
President to make his calling for a third
term sure honors will be easy.

ONE WHO .INSIK IGEED.

A good many preachers in the fervor
and foolishness of preaching ask their
congregations questions to which they
do not really expect answers. For in
stance, when preacher asks his con-
gregation, "Are you honest in bust
ness?" do you love your neighbor' S
wife better than you love your neigh
bor?" do you remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy?' do you tell the
truth when lie will answer your pur-
poser" he does not expect to hear any
reply, and he would be greatly surpris-
ed if he should. His idea is by asking
such questions to sharply impress his
hearers and perhaps get them to admit
to themselves that they are not all they
should be. Some who have heard such
questions asked have thought what a
stir there would be if they should be
promptly, truthfully and openly an
swered, and have wondered what the
preacher would say or do when he
found his questions being so answered.
That the situation would be interest
ing is shown by something that hap
pened at a watch-night service at st.
Pauls Church, Brixton, England. The
vicar, the Rev. Carnegie Brown, was
preaching sermon on the Prodigal
Son, In the course of which he said:
Last year some people came to watch
night service from a neighboring pub
lfc-house, and some of them were drunk.
Is there any one here like that to-
night?" EYES," said a respectable-look-
ing man seated in the aisle, ''I'm here,
and I'm drunk The effect on the con-
gregation was electrical. The preacher
was startled for a moment, but, after
saying, Poor fellow, poor fellow" pro-
celeded with his discourse. IT tell you
I'm drunk said the intruder Hold
your tongue" said the vicar. II am
speaking now, and must not be inter-
rupted."
That preacher get an honest answer
to his question, but he hardly knew
what to do with It, However, as there
is no danger that such accidents will be
of frequent occurrence, preachers can
safely continue to pertinently and i'm
pertinently question their hearers.

gage, the money to be paid in install
mente Among the agreements was
one to the effect that at any time after
two years from the date the amount
paid in in monthly deposits, with s per
cent, annual interest thereon, might be
withdrawn upon surrender Of the GER
tiflcate. Notwithstanding this pro-
vision several applications of the plain
tiff to withdraw were disregarded. He
then appealed to the court, stating that
he had paid the defendant greater
sum, in inztallments, etc, than the debt
of $1,000 due with interest at per
cent, from December A, 1890, that the
note had been fully paid, and the lien
on the property satisfied The company
answered that the plaintiff was en-
titled to the amount paid in after the
first quarter. less five cents per share
per month. He had not, it was all
legged, paid off the note, but was en-
titled to a credit of $S7S1S upon it,
Judge Edwards held that the plaintiff
under the Kentucky law was entitled
to credit for all payments, with in
terest; nor is there any law under
which the defendant had any right to
forfeit any part of the payments made
by plaintiff to it. The plaintiff was held
to have paid his debt in full, and to
have satisfied the mortgage.

To return to the fancy waist that will
not DOWN, 1t should be said that for a
time the abundance of princess models
threatened It's long reign as much as
any one thing. But now even the de-
signers of princess dresses give up the
fight, to judge by such examples of
their output as the one shetched here,
for the body part of this one has all the
elaboration of a fancy waist. Green

Formerly Luxury, Now A.most Neces-

[From the Philadelphia Public LEDGER
The orange, formerly a luxury Of tn
sick room and of the holiday season. is
rapidly becoming a staple in the grow
ing variety of fruit that supplies COM
Portable homes. This is partly due to
the improvement in the orange itself
since its production in the United
States, but more largely to the growing
consumption of all fruits as their tooth
some, healthful qualities are generally
realized. Florida has been the chief
source of the American supply, and 1T is
estimated that she had five million box
es of oranges on her trees when last
seasons frost substantially destroyed
the growing crop and seriously cripples
the trees themselves. While the real
damage has proved less wholesale than
was at first supposed, it has temporari-
ly dethroned Florida from her control
of the orange market, and directed at
tention to the supply of southern Cali

One opponent WON over.


The fancy waist is said to be gone by,
but it isn't. The fichu enters into its
plan and the newest ones are hardly
anything more than fichu and sleeves,
The latter spreads all over the front
and extends over the sleeves, the ends
in front pass beneath the belt to appear
below it, and the point in the back does
likewise. There is the effect OF having
just carelessly adjusted the fichu, but it
is all preltence for 1t is part and parcel
of the bodice, and does not come off
except with the bodice. These fichus
are being especially woven with the
center of net, the ruffles at the edge all

lace, but the fichu made at home and

If the statement made by a party of
Lake capitalists and navigators is true
the question of giving the Great Lakes
a higher level is Of much more impor-
tance than the Chicago Drainage Canal
officials have led the public to think it
is. While the army engineers who re-
ported on, the probable effect of the
drainage canal said that the amount of
water which would be taken out of
Lake Michigan by that channel would
lower the level of that lake a few
inches, and in the other ports below
Lake Superior would necessitate that
vessels be laden accordingly, these gen.
tlemen who are now in Washington as
sert that something must be done to
stop the sinking OF the surface levels,
whether or not the drainage canal is
built. They affirm that the water of
Lake Huron, for example, is now five
feet lower than it was in 1888, and that
it,Chas dropped nine inches in the last fff-
teen months.

Gus effect on soldiers carrying heavy
loads for long distances. 1t was found
that for an ordinary man a weight not
exceeding forty-eight pounds could be
carried for twenty-five miles If the tenn.
perature did not exceed go degrees with
OUT any injurious effects, even when
continued for number Of days. If.
however, the temperature is 10 degrees
higher. the same load has temporary
effect on the organisms. A load of six
ty-eigEt pounds, it was found, could not
be carried twenty-five miles without
danger Of serious injury. A weight of
sixty pounds, it was decided, was the
maximum weight which an ordinary
man could carry twenty-five miles day
on several consecutive days.
