Lessons of the
Endeavor Convention.

THE good results of the Christian
Endeavor Convention was the sub
ject of sermon delivered to a
crowded house by the Rev. George G.
Adams yesterday morning at the First
Congregational Church.
He took his text from Matthew xi: :15,
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. !"
In his introduction the pastor explained
that there were several kinds of hearing
the hearing of the physica! ear, mental
hearing and The hearing of the spirit. 1t
is with the hearing of the mind and soul,
he said, that We must listen for the deep
lessons taught by the Christian Endeavor
movement and their visit here.
He divided this teaching into four
heads. First, Character
The Christian Endeavorers who came
here were, as to character, the PICK of the
churches they came to represent. In illus
tration OF the confidence which could be
placed in them, he told how the keeper OF
q boarding house accomm modate1 a large
mum Der OF them without asking any one
10 pay in advance. Their badge was
guarantee of honor. In this worth OF char
acter they taught the lessen that such
should be typical of the whole church.
The second lesson was unity. They
demonstrated how a strong and harmo-
nious union could exist without the sun
dering OF denominaIional ties.
Third-Great value of organization was
1llstrated by the Endeayorers. The ef-
ficient work of the various com mittees,
which labored many weeks in advance IN
order that the convention proceed ngs
might move smoothly, was highly COM
mended and held up as an example for
general emulation.
The fourth head was spiritual power,
and this was shown TO depend upon the
application OF the other three lessons.
The Holy Spirit does not work by chance,
but by the application of means to ends.

/ CONVENTION echo IN Q n g
a brought out an audience that hlled
\ Central NJ. z. Church to overflowing


- -
last evening. Endeavorers crowded
the aisles and gallery until the church was
filled almost to suffocation.
Short addresses from visiting pastors
and brief sentiments from Endeavorers
from various parts of the country took
the place OF the regular sermon.
w. E. Thompson of the decoration COM
mittee was the first speaker. He spoke OF
the good attendance of California Eu-
deavors, 1900 OF the 5000 member hav-
ing registered. DR.. c. Z. Kelly followed
and dwet on the influence OF the conven-
tion upon the City.
Rev. DR.. Irwin of Salem. Or, State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction, was
the first OF the ministers to speak. He
emphasized the power OF the Christian
religion in social and public life.
Rev. Mr.. Morrow of Randolph, VT, fol-
lowed, calling attention to the interde-
nominational fellowship of the meeting
as sign of the growing Unity OF churches.
Rev. Mr.. Sigler of Los Angeles insisted
upon the enduring influences OF the con-
vention.
A dozen or so volunteer speakers fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession in an
open parliament on the theme, "W hat
impressed me most in the convention, and
what is the best thing l obtained from it
TO carry homer"
At the conclusion of the discussion Dr.
Dile made a brief address, in the course
OF which be said:
Let us remember that there is something
grRnder than enthusiasm, something grHnder
than handkerchief-wavlng something grander
than that great concert which was like q
vision of heaven TO our souls and a strain of
the eternal harmonies to our ears-and that is
service.
Let US remember that all our experiences
all our spiritual exaltation, are only for the
purpose OF better fitting US to do our work in
the plane OF everyday life.
The service closed with all the Endeav-
orers rising and repeating the clause Of
the Endeavor pledge: Trusting In the
LORD Jesus Christ for strength 1 promise
him to do whatever be would like to have
me do"

SELECTING Cows For the pnirr.

Prof T. l.. Hacker, of the Mime
sofa Experiment Station, says: We
must first determine what we want the
animals for, and then select those which
are adapted for that particular pur-
pose. At the university we keep a
careful account of the cost of keeping
each COW of the herd, with view of
determining the cost of pound of
butter made from the milk of each
COW. The cost varied from eight to
twelve cents pound, some animals
costing fifty per cent. more than others
IN producing a pound of butter. We
divided the herd into two classes and
found that the division that cost the
most to produce butter had tendency
to put on flesh more than the others.
In order to be doubly sure that our
conclusions were correct, we made
second test with the same result
Now, why was this? l examined the
two classes individually and found
that the spare built COW, with q deep
body, was the best dairy COW. In both
divisions all breeds of cows were repre-
sented. What we wanted to find out,
if possible, was how to be able to tell.
without making a mistake, the animal
that would make butter the cheapest.
Careful investigation developed the
fact that it took one pound of food to
maintain 100pounds of animal weight,
so that animal that weighed 900 pounds
would digest eighteen pounds of feed
required nine pounds to support her
self and should return the remaining
nine pounds to her owner.
We must feed the COW just what she
needs to maintain and produce the
greatest possible am )unt of milk; select
her food for her, for if you turn her out
where she has access to a straw pile or
other coarse fodder she will fill her
stomach with food that she does not
need, and it will occupy the space in
the stomach that should be filled with
nutriment to produce milk. There is
another thing have noticed, and that
is, that III examining Jersey herds we
find theanlmals are generally advanced
in age. Large COWS are not as good
for the dairy as they have to carry too
much weight, and it has tendency to
wear them out and they put on beef
and break down aud wear out.

Glover philosophy.

The fact that clover supplies atmos-
pheric nitrogen to the soil is one rea-
son why all grain crops do well after
clover. 1t does another kind thing,
however, for the farmer The other
two remaining elements of fertility are
potash and phosphate acid. Soils have
a great abundance of these elements,
but the greater POI ton of them is
locked up in forms in which the ordi-
nary grain crops cannot utilize them.
The clover plant, however, has the
faculty of getting after and using all
these forms of fertility where other
plants fail, and as the clover hay is fed
to stock and the manure resulting is
hauled to the field, and as the roots
decay in the soil, these elements are
left in position where the other plants
can use them. Herein lies the danger
of constantly growing clover Ii any
clover is used as n stimulaut, or, say,
fertilizer, and the resulting crops of
hay are sold, theroots plowed under,
grow corn, wheat, oats, and these sold,
and this process kept ON from year to
year, the result will be the bankruptcy
of the land in potash and phosphoric
acid, the absolute refusal of clover to
grow, and the disease known as "clover
sickness" When land reaches this
point it is the most hopelessly barren
of all soils, and can only be reclaimed
by the liberal use of fertilizers or else
lying idle for number of years, until
the forces of nature gradually unlock,
by freezing and thawing, the mineral
elements thatall plants require. Farm,

Pretty rugs are made of bits of fan
mel of any color, the more colors the
better. Thread coarse needle with
No. 8 machine thread, then double
and tie knot in the end. Cut the
flannel in pieces or strips one inch
wide, and run them in the middle
lengthwise, draw them out to the end
of the thread, as closely as possible
one after another, until your thread is
filed. Continue in this way till you
have sufficient to make the rug. The
strips should all be cut on the bias,
then they will form a pretty roll when
run on the thread. Have foundation
of burlap or ticking of the size you
want the rug, and sew the rolls you
have prepared to the foundation, be-
ginning in the middle. The rugs may
be made in any shape required. The
edge may be finished with points or
scallops cut from thick cloth or several
rows Of braid.
Another pretty rug is made of burlap.
Sacks that grain is put up in are as
good as new. Cut in strips two and
one-half inches wide, fringe an inch
of each edge, by pulling out the
threads that run lengthwise, double
in the middle and sew to foundation,
"over and over" stitch, beginning on
the edge of the foundation. The
burlap can be colored orange, green or
yellow aud when finished these rugs
resemble the fine lambs wool mats.
They are just the thing for halls and
entries.
Good rugs can also be made of cast
of, knitted underwear. This old
knitted cloth can be easily colored and
when that is done, cut in strips length
wise. The strips should be u inches
wide. RaVel one edge to the depth
Of an inch and sew the other edge to
the foundation, tapping one row over
the other far enough to cover the
stitches by which it is fastened. The
foundation may be of any heavy cloth.
The first row should be sewed to the
outer edge of the foundation and work
toward the center, finishing with a
double row in the middle. u New Eng,

"In the little hillside graveyard
west Of Moorehead, Rowan Comfy.
Ky, is one of the queerest gravestone
in all the United States" remarked
@. II. Munsetter, of Willard, XIV. at
the Americap. ''The stone marks the
last resting place of johnny Martin,
one of the principals of the famous
Rowan County War between tho Mar.
tins and Logans on one side and the
Tollivers on the other. In this feud
more than fifty men were killed, and
the Governor of the State at one time
was compelled TO negotiate for peace
with Craig Tolliver. Martin was taken
from the officers of the law while on
route to Lexington for safekeeping,
the Tolliver gang later hanging him
near Farmers and riddling the body
with bullets. But Martins friends
evened up scores by practically wip-
ing out both feud aud the Tolliver

Mr.. and Mrs. Jarrett Haynes arrived
in the city Wednesday from Marshall
County. Mr.. Haynes aud wife are
over ninety years of age each. They
were on the site now occupied by the
thriving city of Paducah as early as
1929, when the town was q wilderness.
Nearly fifty years ago the aged couple
planted walnut in the yard, from
which sprung a tree. 1t grew to be q
large tree, and year or two ago was
cut down and sawed into timber. The
lumber is now at the Haynes home,
and is being saved TO make the collins

Children's Societies.

The formation of total abstinence socle-
ties among the boys and girls is one of the
best possible means to combat the vice of
drunkenness. When the youthful minds
are plastic, there should be impressed up
on them the necessity Of sobrlety in the
battle of life. Let there be formed In them
the habit of abstinence from liquor. Teach
them that In this, as in every other vice.
there is always a beginnings little insld-
ious beginning, perfectly harmless. look
ing beginning-but in this beginning, as In
disease germ, lurk oil the terrible possi-
bilities, all the direful consequences Of the
drink habit.
In many families the children see liquor
used on every occasion, sometimes as u
beverage, sometimes as medicine; and
they are influenced of course, by the OK
ample of their parents to look upon It as
an Indispensable article in the domestic
economy. 1t should be the duty Of temper
ance workers to combat this idea. II should
be their earnest care to spread the light in
such dark places. But the parents cannot
very easily be reached, and even IL they
could, 1t would be almost an impossibility
to change their lifelong views ON the sub
iect The children, therefore, are the ones
to be sought after, and 1t is with them,
through the means of attractive societies,
that the work Of temperance can be best
advanced
