DR.. and Mrs. Wilkinson have re-
turned from their automobile trip to
Mt. Vernon, Ohio and greatly enjoyed
1t, although it is probable that neither
of them would care to repeat it very
soon as such a journey necessarily
entails some inconvenience not ex-
perienced in travelling by rail. The
distance between Canon City and Mt.
Vernon. Ohio by the route takel by
DR.. Wilkinson and party. according
to the register on their machine is
sixteen hundred and thirty-nine miles,
which they traversed in thirteen days.
The line of travel on the outward
Journey was through Kansas, Missou-
ri, Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. Only
once was it necessary to put up the
side curtains on the automobile to
protect its occupants from the rain.
and, strangely enough. it was between
here and Pueblo, at the very COM
mencement of the trip. The roads
were fairly good as far as Kansat
City, but in Missouri they were in
many places almost impossible an
account of very heavy rains that had
fallen a few days previously. In one
neighborhood DR.. Wilkinson reports

In interesting conclusion. Mrs. G.
A. Fisher presented in behalf of
friends a fine cut glass vase to DR..
and Mrs. Phifer. In happy responses.
the pastor and his wife showed their
appreciation OF friends and their help
full attitude during the past year. Dr.
Phifer made special mention OF the
press OF the city and its many court
estes to him and to the church. Mrs.
Phlfer rather affectingly reminded us
that the gift vase might be broken or
lost and must be left behind at her
entrance into the greater life beyond
but that the kind words and recogni-
ton OF efforts OF the year would never
die, be lost or left behind, but be-
come a part of the rich memory

busy young people was highly appre-
ciated.

another Sunday and as a congrega-
tion we reiterate our wish OF God
speed toward their goal OF welfare

WHEN LATHAM PRE-

The grand levee of an Eighteenth Century king was never more inn pressive than Latham's preparations for flying. A crowd collected quickly when his rakish machine. shaped like a racing shell. was driven out off the hangar. Latham sauntered down and clambered aboard about ten minutes later. He put on a small plaid cap. took it off and adjusted hindside before
 Hes just going around the course" said the crowd
 He took off his cap and handed it to the first mechanician, replacing it with another cap identical in shape but different in color. The crowd watched with breathless interest He took off that cap and handed it to a second mechanician. Then he put on a woOlly helmet that strapped down under the chin. Hes going out for speed" whispered the excited crowd Latham put on a pair of old kid gloves, then he took them off. then he put on a pair of wooden gloves and over them he drew a pair of fur gauntlets. The crowd drew in it's breath with a perceptible hiss of an- ticipation. Latham lit a cigarette and smoked awhile Then he shook out an angOra Knit tippet and wound it carefully round his neck. unwound it and wound it up again to cover his nose.
 "Altitude!" cried the crowd in burst of enthusiasm; the propellers whizzed gayly about and Latham shot up and out toward the blue-New York Sun.

WONDERFUL ENGLISH VIeoR
The Man Who Liked Outdoor Fun in
 His Youth Never Gives 1t Up

One of the secrets of the wonderful vigor and vitality of the English ma tion is their attitude toward sports and games in the open air, not mere ly in childhood and in youth. but through all ages. down to the very end of life. The boy who has be- come a cricketer, or a football player. or an oarsman. or, a cross country runner in his school or college, goes right on with his practice and his matches when he starts into business and professional life and plays just as hard and almost as regularly in the long summer evenings and on his religiously observed Saturday half holidays and Sundays at 40 as he did at 14.

HEIPING LIBERIA.

The proposed plan of Secretary
Knox for raising a loan of 81. 500. 600

sdating Liberals debt on a sound bus
iness basis, has given rise to some
gossip in Europe. especially in
France. The French government
knows that neither a protectorate
nor the annexation OF Liberia is con-
templated by the United States. and
that the purpose of Secretary Knox
is purely philanthropic.
The French governments objection
TO the loan is summed up in an in
spired article in the Temps. which says
that with 500 kilometers Of com

insane by the alienists employed by
his family, and it is said their dag

Such being the case. the young

Charlton is to be found in the case

GOATS MILK GOOD FOR BABIES

The department of agriculture has
been trying for a long time to induce
the American people to keep milch
goats, and has advanced some very
good reasons. One important fact to
be taken into consideration is that
the goat is not a victim OF tubercu-
1osis. for that reason furnishing good
liquid diet for the baby.
Health Ohieer Woodward Of Wash
lngton urges the use OF goats milk as
a matter of economy. and the depart
ment OF agriculture has figured IT out
shat a goat eats only an eighth as
much as a COW.
Butter can be made from goats
amilk, but as it won't keep it has TO
DE eaten fresh from tie churn, al
which time it tastes exactly the same
as butter made from cows milk
IN some Of the European countries
and all over Asia the milk of the goat
is utilized 10 a great extent, and the
