Useless Worry.

is we are always taking on trouble
about what may come to pass And
nine times out of ten our worry is

The Simple Life.
Monticello Express This tele-

life for several weeks The time was

Beating the Ice man.
If you live in town and cannot at

and cannot get Ice, the following SIM
Eple and cheap plan of providing \
cool place for milk and other things
is worth trying, says the Beloit Ca
zette. Get four pieces of scantling,
two by four inches, five feet long, and
nail pieces two feet long each way,
about two and half feet from the
ground. and nail pieces Of the same
at the top. Then board over top and
also lay floor at bottom Now put
shelf on each side and cover all
around and on top with nice clean
bran sacks or burlap. Leave one side
open and put loops on it, and rail OH
the sides to fasten it. Put tub on
top and fill with water, and put
wooden strips of cloth two and. three
inches wide in it, SO that they feed
the water in it down and keep the
sacking wet all the time The air
blowing through the wet sacks keeps
everything almost as cool as if 1t were
in a refrigerator, and the butter and
milk tastes better than If it were shut
from the air, and will keep much long

makes the best feeding strips; put in
enough to have three of four each
side. This dairy can be kept on a
back porch or under shade tree.

were out at sea a strong northwestern
came up and the little boat which
should have landed at San Diego at
noon did not get in until Friday night.
IL am afraid to speak about our trip
for it savors so much of the early his

ing accused of looming up in the fog
or doing something else equally bad,
said Mr.. Wick.
1.-The fact of the case is that we were
none of us in any condition to do any
looming up anywhere. The wind came
UP and the rain came down and our
little boat rocked and tossed until we
began to think there would not be any

started out with Capt. Goddard, expect

were not prepared for the trip and we
were drenched to the skin by the rain
and spray from the waves.

1.-THE captain is an old whaler and if
ever there was a sea dog he is one, but
he followed the example of the rest of

He said he had never been seasick in
his life, but he made up for it on this

the Mexican had $1,000 worth of grain

are told in the book of Revelation
that our works are written in the book

good and bad, are to follow us into the

shares of the par value of $1.0O EACH fully

Opportunities Fly By Swiftly
Grab Yours

because born of superficial thoughts
and conceptions of their authors
thoughts and conceptions which were
not lived by those who gave express
sion to them-that they do not satisfy
the hunger of the mind. The hunger
of the mind is it's natural desire to
know what life is, it's mission and goal.
The modern authors. whose books the
children read, have no adequate knowl-
edge themselves of life's meaning, mis-
sion and goal to present it to their
readers. Therefore their thoughts and
ideas are of little value to the young
mind and fail to nourish it satisfac-
torily.
Thus the parents do not know the
meaning and goal of life themselves to
satisfy the hunger of their childrens S
minds. 1t behooves them, therefore,
to know it first before begetting chill
dren. Here the philosophy of the Hin
doc sages may help them. That phil
osophy will tell them that their child
though born of their blood in this
birth, had existed before in another
| flesh-form and will take on another
! flesh-form after death; that the child
had other parents in the past as it may
have other parents in the future that
the child's soul, mixed up with its
mind and it's natural attributes and in
| clinations is a benighted wayfarer on
life's road, searching for it's home

their family is like the weary way

parents (the inn-keepers) to inform
him all about the road that leads to
that home-the home of all mankind
| teach him the philosophy of life and
its source, which is it's goal as Well
Have Great Responsibility
"This benighted, weary wayfarer of
life had been rowing along life's laby-
rinthine ways, with short stops at rest =
ing places not always restful, and has
come to them, the present parents, to
know once more of the way out of the
labyrinth. That way is the process by
which oul-consciousness, God-con-
sciousness, can be gained. The parent
that imparts knowledge of the way is
real parent One who fails to do it
Is guilty of the worst neglect. This
rowing soul has eaten and dressed lux
uriously for countless births, and 1t is
because it's mind was not enlightened
that it is rowing still. To feed only its
body is the worst mockery TO feed
the mind with the light 1t has been
hungering for is the highest duty of
the parent The parent that denies
this light is the child's worst enemy.
"The child's duty is to repay this
greatest service of the parents toward
his redemption with all the gratitude
of his being. with loving service to the
end of the parents life. Most children
in this age. especially in the west, shirk
this responsibility and gratitude, They
will have TO pay for 1t in this or in
another life. But for the ingratitude
of child the parents mostly and
mainly are responsible. A child gen
orally, is what it's parents make it in
childhood. If the parent has failed to
awaken God-eOnsciousness in the
child, he or she deserves all the pun
ishment for that neglect OF that SUI
preme duty of parent to the Off

Venerable Canon Hulse of New York
Church Raises Fund for Gem
eraI Convention at
Richmond

"Three Hundred Years of Christian
ity" was the topic of Venerable Canon
Hulse of the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine of New York last night at ST.
Pauls o-cathedral Canon HulSe IS
touring the country raising FUND TO be
presented at the general convention to
be held in Richmond, Va, which VIII
mark the third century of the English
church in America. He said in part:
at is difficult for us to appreciate
lust what it means to live in Chris
tian community surrounded by the re-
suits of Christian civilization We
have to go to a heather or a semi
heather community to understand all
that Christianity means. These bless
ings are as common to us as the air we
breathe, and as necessary for the pres
erVation of our spiritual lives, and be-
cause they are so common we accept
them as a matter of course.
"You go to a heather country and see
how much harder ii is to live decently,
see how the proprieties arc outraged,
the sanctities of life invaded, personal
freedom limited and hampered, then
come back home and notice how all the
means for a higher life are developed
here and you will have a higher sense
of the value of Christianity. This great
civilization of ours of which we are so
proud rests ultimately upon Christian
3ty. 1t takes the strength and the Vis-
aon that Christianity has developed in
man to bring about such civilization,
"We Americans are inclined to boast
of two features in this civilization, our
free institutions and of our exceeding
material prosperity. We eXult over
these as though we had earned them
all ourselves and are inclined to point
with scorn to other sections where these
blessings are not enjoyed.
Reasons for Prosperity

underlying reason for these blessings
Is it that God is partial or is il an acci-

"There have been a great many rea-

tariff. The Democratic party objects

Capital Is a Coward
Are You Afraid?

The great gold mines of the world are usu-
ally opened up by the earnings of the wage
earners, the small surplus of the business
man and the savings of the farmer Large
capital is a coward. 1t sneaks around in
the background until the dollars of the
small investor have shown the new source
of wealth. when it is geenraly compelled
to pay high tribute to share in the pro-
ceeds.
Thus it has always been. and thus it
ever will be. Therefore mining companies
offer their stock first to the small investor,
to do the preliminary work, and the capi-
taist often comes in at the wind-up to pay
dollars per share where the early investor
only paid cents. Do you wish to be the
fortunate first investor wait to come in
at high tide with the big fellow?

This is the first lesson to learn in
life, the lesson that we have to prac-
