Work for senator's secretary.

Every new congress brings to-
Washington the meanest man in
Christendom. a western senator ar
ranged last summer for the construc.
ton OF a barn.
Il want the work done as econom-
ically as possible" he told the car
penter. 1T will save money, won't it.
TO drive one nail instead of two into
each board?"
Yes was the reply. But the barn
won't be as strong
That's all right" responded the
thrifty senator, you go ahead with
the work, using one nail in each
board"
When the carpenter finished the
senator used Western Union frank
TO call his secretary to his home ito
do some work which had accumu.
lated Upon the latter's arrival he dis
posed of number OF letters and then
said:
Here are four pounds OF nails. |
want YOU 10 drive an extra nail in
every plank in that barn"
As the government pays the salaries
OF senator's secretaries it is readily
apparent that the western economist
saved something in having him in
stead OF the carpenter drive the
requisite number OF nails into the
barn.

WHAT AMERICA MOST NEEDS

Coming at this time and from such
paper as the Wall Street Journal, a
paper devoted entirely to financial
matters, the following editorial is
somewhat remarkable, but none the
less true, and proves that even the man
who is surrounded by all the luxuries
that wealth can buy, occasional feels
the need of something money cannot
purchase:

Today, the day of frenzied finance,
when it seems that all the world is
bent solely upon making money and
more money, the worlds best-selling
book is the Bible. 1t takes tremen-
|dously successful novel to sell 10000
or 90 600 copies in year, but, on an
average, this record is beaten by the
Bible every day in the year. A state
ment recently published in the New
York Times, says there were sixteen mil
lion Bibles sold last year. The Ameri
can Bible Society alone has nearly
500 men selling Bibles in savage and re-
mote lands, and through the instru-
mentality of this one organization
nearly nine million Bibles were sold
last year.

us cultivate the habit of cheerfulness

No rainfall occurred at any station
in the Waikiki or Lahaina districts
of Maui; at Waimanalo or Eva, Oahu;
Lihue, Kauai, or Molokai Ranch, Molo-
kai

erage at all stations in the section
