ceeding one, were sentenced 70

victiOn for completely in the graft
revealed in the recent sugar scan
dal" The Japanese seem to have
oct us an example in the proper
method Of eOins 1t the roots Of

origin In congress And some Of
cur statesnen living and dead are
more than suspected Of sharing in

Presbyterian Notes.

The mite society are planning for
bazaar and supper to be held next
December.
Mrs. Westfall and daughter, Miss
Edna Westfall, will entertain the
Mite society next Friday afternoon.
Last Wednesday afternoon the
July missionary meeting was held
at the home of Mrs. Chas. Thomp-
son. The devotional service was
led by the president, Mrs. Robt.
Stewart. The lesson study was led
by Mrs. Pease. 1t was concerning
the history of mission work in Siam
and Laos and was very interesting.
The rulers and the authorities are
favorable to the introduction of the
Gospel, which makes it much easier
for the missionaries to establish their
work. The mission work in those
two countries has been given over
to the Presbyterians almost alto
gether.
Three of the Presbyterian young
ladies, the Misses Edna Ashford,
Anna Jensen and Lillian Jensen. had
the privilege of attending the re-
cent great international Christian
Endeavor convention held at St.
Paul. Last Sunday evening the e.
E. service consisted of the report by
them. A goodly number of people
were present. There was special
music given between the reports,
being some of the favorite conven-
ton songs Of the reports there was
but one opinion, that they were
splendid. The ladies had evidently
taken careful notes, for their adj
dresses contained much of the choice
parts of what the speakers said. All
of the features were described, the
music, parades, rallies, speakers,
decorations in buildings and the city,
the general program, the enthusiasm
of d delegates from various parts of the
world and the plans laid for future
work 1t was indeed a treat to all
who were present and a vote of
thanks was extended to the young
ladies for their most excellent re-
port.

What Roads Owe to Salt.

Roads, we are told, owe a great deal
to salt. According to one theory, the
Oldest trade routes came into exist.
ence as a result of the traffic in salt.
One of the Oldest roads in Italy is the
Via Salaria," along which the people
ot the Sabine country obtained their
salt from the salt pans Of Ostia. Salt
vas the main merchandise carried in
the trans-Libyan caravans of the
days of Herodotus, and salt is one of
tho chief elements in the trade along
the Sahara caravan routes to-day. Salt
and salt fish, 1t is interesting to re.
member. entered largely into the com
merce Of the Carthaglnians. The lat
ter, by the way, was considered a del,
icacy In those pre-Christian days.
