The Editors White Space
His Goods,

Maxwell's Talisman: Quit once for
all your efforts to patrOnize the local
editor. Bring yourself to look upon
the white space as the goods he has to
sell, the value of which you yourself
can determine by your efforts to make
good use of It.
Convince the editor that you and
your fellow merchants are looking to
him to produce a good paper which
the people of the neighborhood will
want hard enough to take it and pay
for it.
Show him that you appreciate all
efforts he puts forth to make his that
kind of a paper. Help him TO get as
much of the local news as possible.

How One Boy VIII Invest

Milwaukee Journal: Danny Curtin
of New Y ork, Is, is eagerly awaiting
the $1,000 that goes with his Carnegie
hero medal.
Because" he says, I'm going to
Harvard and study to be a civil engi-
neer. And [ hope some day to be as
good us my boss is"
Danny is the youngest on the list of
receat hero medal winners.
At the risk of his own life he saved
two little girls from drowning.
He is going to invest his $4,000 in
educating his brains.
Education is the express elevator
that lifts men up.
Education teaches us not only to
think, but how to think.
Colleges offer many courses in
which it may seem to you there is no
apparent actual benefit. You don't
understand how Latin will make Tom
earn dollar more a week, how Greek
will pay the gas bill, or how meta
physics and logic and psychology will
buy shoes.
Colleges insist on these things be-
cause they teach the young man to
think.
Even primary schools make Tom
learn facts which seem to be of no
practical value. It is no actual
money in his pocket to remember that
Bankok is the capital of Siam. But
the process that took that fact and put
it in Toms brain and cemeuted it
there along with thousands of other
facts, that process was teaching the
boy to use his mind.
You may as we'll try to draw money
out of bank where you have none as
to try to win success in the world
without education. If you can't study
in the day time, study at night. If
you can't give your boy the classics,
at least give him the practical things.
He would be all the better if he could
get the classics, too, because he would

Trinity Episcopal Church.

In consequence of the new organ be-
ing placed in position, the Good Fri
day services were held in the parish
house, where the old organ has been
placed.
On Easter there were services at $50
a. n. and 1880 a. an. and p. M, all
of which were largely attended. The
new organ, at cost of $1,000, the gift
of Mr.. John P. Cobb of New York
city as memorial Of his mother, was
used for the first time at the 1920 a. m.
service. Miss Parmley presided at the
organ and made a very good record
for herself as an organist. The vested
choir, to the number of twenty-five,
under the direction of Mrs. W. S.
Ross, executed their part in a most
creditable manner. The sermon of the
rector was on the evidences of Christ's
resurrection.
At the Sunday School festival the
usual services were carried out and
collections made for missions.
At the morning service, the rector
called the attention of the congregation
to the gift of Mr.. Cobb, and he has
written this inscription to be engraved
On silver plate and to be placed on
the front of the organ: ITO the greater
glory of God and in memory of Laura
Antoinette Cobb, Easter, 1907. Hence
forth her name will be associated with
the music of this church through the
generosity of her son, John P. Cobb. I"
At the morning service, Reuben
Jackson received gold cross for best
attendance at practice and service and
Ulmont Healy silver cross for good
behavior at service and practice
They were given by Mrs. W. S. Ross.
Or Easter morning the parish meet
ing was held and the old vestry re-
elected. The treasurer's report showed
all fixed charges paid and balance
on hand, together with very large
reduction of the debt on the parish
house. The Easter offering was the
largest in years.
This is the twenty-sixth year of the
present rectorship.

ever ready to speak words Of counsel and
cheer to those with whom he was associated
AS he loved all mankind, as he practiced the
tenets Of masonry, and us he was true and
faithful to every trust reposed in him, so will
be his reward.

relatives and commend to the care Of our
heavenly Father.

THEY WANT TAFT.

London, Nov. 11.-If Secretary OF

When the itinerary of his around
the-world trip was published in Lon
don shortly after his departure for
Japan, and it was noticed that he PLAN

but that he was not going to stop in
either Paris or London, steps were
taken to induce the secretary to come
here for a day or two at least to meet
some of the leading public men. In
this case Mr.. Taft would, of course, be
received by King Edward. Washing
ton was advised through the usual off,
cial channels that Mr.. Taft's visit here
would be agreeable, and there is still
some hope, in spite of the let that the
secretary has written that is hurry
ing home to prepare his report for the
opening of congress, that he will take
a steamer from some English port in
stead of going direct from Berlin to
Cherbourg.
Those who have interested them
selves in the matter have not yet been
advised whether the Washington adj
ministration and Mr.. Taft will give
favorable consideration to this pro-
pOSal.

STUDYING HERTzIAN WAVES.
Marconi Is Busy at His Glace Bay
Wireless Plant.

Sydney, N. S., Nov. 11.-While oc-
cupied chiefly at Glace Bay in the per-
lection of his newly inaugurated SER
vice of Transatlantic wireless teleg-
raphy, Signor Marconi announces that
he is giving considerable thought to the
employment of Hertzian waves for
transmission of power as well as
means of communication. He ex-
planned in an interview that the Hert-
zian waves are now being employed for
many purposes besides telegraphy in
the British navy. All of the larger
ships, he said, are being equipped with
an apparatus by which the same waves
that were employed for wireless COM
munication were used for the invisible
transmission of power to the extent OF
controlling and exploding torpedoes.
The inventors attention was called
to a recent cable dispatch from Paris
telling of an Aus trian electrician who
was attempting to obtain financial sup
port from the American colony there
for an invention which he claimed
would nullify wireless messages in
case of war. Admitting the possfb1l1-
ties of such an invention, Mr.. Marconi
remarked that whereas the present
