How Time Travels

When St. Paul's struck noon on
Jan. /. 1909 the new year came into

on line following longitude l8O
degrees east, which ls exactly oppo
site Greenwich meridian on the other
side of the globe. GeogIaphers draw
the line to avoid passing through any
of the Pacific islands. for if it did
the times and days of the inhabitants
would be hopelessly muddled. Van
ua, one of the Fiji islands. for IN
stance, would be otherwise divided
by the line where the days and years
begin and end. so that while it would
be Jan. l on the western side it would
be Dec. 81 few PAGES away on the
east of the line. Cne could thus walk
into yesterday aud moment later
return tomorrow
How the new year travels is curious
" illustrated by its passage across
Great Britain. 1t reaches Greenwich
as the time center, at midnight. ex
actly twelve hours after it started.
Seventeen minutes later it gets to
Glasgow. and another six minutes pass
before the new year captures Pen
zance. These are the true times fol-
these places. though Greenwich time
is the one accepted. Ireland is proud
in possession of her own chronology,
and it was IL. 25 at night in London

IL am impressed with the fact that
Christ came in time that was the
most favorable for His coming. and
when He was most needed.
1t was a time when there was but
one government and that was station
ed at Rome, and when the world. con-
sequently, was at peace from the strife
of battles. Before Rome bad gained
the supremacy over the nations of
the world there was revolution upon
revolution; nation was pitted against
nation. and Palestine was the world g
battle-ground Under such condi-
tions what opportunity would there
have been for anything like general
dissemination of the principles of
the Gospel? 1t was time when
travelling was easy and safe. The Ro-
mans had flung out good roads so that
from Parthia in the East to the chores
of distant Britain in the West anyone
who had the proud distinction of be
ing a Roman citizen could travel from
the one to the other without much fear
of molestation. It was a time when
the Greek tongue became the univer-
sal language, splendid medium of
Gospel dissemination. 1t was time
of almost universal corruption. The
black mantle of moral midnight hung
in dense folds over almost the entire
Jewish and pagan world. 1t was a
time, also, of great intellectual awak
ening. The Infant Redeemer's name
was sounded in an age celebrated in
story and immortalized in song. 1t
was time. moreover. of great dissat
isfaction with the prevailing relig-
ions. Men were propounding deep
questions about the life that now il,
that which is to come And Philos-
ophy had no answer to give. The
prevailing religions had no satisfyin
reply. The time was ripe. The VIC
tories of the Alexanders and the Gaze
sars had paved the way for the nobler
victory on Calvary. And in "the
fullness of time" He appeared.
81 am impressed with the fact
that the Birth of Christ will do us no
Everlasting good unless we have in
our hearts the spirit of His life.

that wondrous Iife?-the descent into
Egypt; disputing with the doctors in
the Temple; bending at the carpen.

Cor the American Farmer.

No farm product better illustrates
what protection does for the farmer
than barley. Under the Mckinley law
which placed an ad valorem duty, the
importations for 1890 were 11,OVO'-
600 bushels, and barley was worth only
SO cents per bushel, with the domestic
production at 81, 600, 900 bushels. Then
in 1897 the Dingley law increased the
dsty, and importations fell Oft; do
mestic production increased to 175,OOo,'
do bushels in 1907, bringing $l.1O pei
bushel. Surprising this grain had not
been protected and this great increase
in bushels had been by importation in
stead of domestic production, on the
basis of $50 per cent increase, it would

Guard Against Tussook Moth.

In many eastern cities and in some in
Michigan, shade trees have been much
injured by the tussock moth. Fortu-
nately the beautiful shade trees in Owos-
so have so far escaped and 1T is well
worth the effort to take all precaution
possible against an invasion of this
moth. Trees may be protected by the
use of fly paper or stick composition
which will prevent the caterpillars from
ascending the trees. To secure the best
results this work should be done early
in the season.
The minute caterpillars when they
first hatch from egg masses are so small
"a to be unnoticeable. When they have
grown in June or July to be an inch or
an inch and half in length, those
that hatch early in the spring have al
ready assembled the trees and it is like
locking the barn door after the horse ii
stolen to band the trees in July, The
banding compound is sold by the prin
cipal retail druggists and all citizens
are urged to protect their trees YOUNG
or smooth barked trees should not b.
scraped rough bark trees should b.
scraped to form comparatively smootl
ring around the tree not less than fou
inches wide. Care should be taken Il
smoothing the trees never to cut int

ON the trunk or the larger branches

ed. The egg mass is usually of ovs

Do the strenuous statesmen who are

tariff schedules framed to meet the
needs of American labor and industry
ord framed in faithful accordance with
party pledges and party obligations
ever stop to think that their plain duty
alike as public men and as citizens Is 10
nroyide tariff that will guarantee two
things-just two:
1. Unemployment of the idle labor
of this country.
Q. Revenue to meet the requirements
of the National Treasury.
Rightly the question OF re-empioy-
ment is placed first. 1t is very much
the biggest and most exigent question:
II embraces and covers all other ques'

Treasury deficit, and there never will be
