The thunder is necessary to shake

The Best In Everything.
What is new is not true The best
in art and literature and sacred story
is hoary with antiquity. The Bible
is an ancient book. It deals with the
most ancient problems of life and
death. The church is an old institu-
ton meeting the needs of all men
and ages in their hours of deepest
mystery. Around her head clusters
the profoundest learning, the finest
poetry, music, and art. Not to ap-
preciate the church is simply to ar
que oneself defective.
Old books ike old wine are the
best. A life time is insufficient to
read even the best books.
Novelty seeking is symptom of a
lack of culture. 1t is an acknowl-
edgement of an exhaustion of inner
! resources. 1t is glorying in ones
shame.
Religion is not stale and devoid
Of human interest. It is the one who
thinks SO who Is lacking. Go into
some city Of the dead and there is
his grave and all that is recorded of
| him is that he was born on one day
and died on another.
The Finest of the Fine Arts.
Religion is the finest of the fine
arts. 1t has more variety about it
than any other theme known or
sung. 1t stretches the Imagination
back to the, dim dawn of creation
when the morning stars sang togeth.

when peace shall flow like river

men in singing divine symphonies.

KEEP WENATCHEE DRY.

In tho municipal election tomor-
row every voter in Wenatchee will
have the opportunity to vote for or
against the return of the saloon as
an institution in this city. This is a
question separate and distinct and of
more transcending Importance than
the question as to who shall be nomi-
mated for mayor, for councilmen and
for other municipal ocers. The re-
suit of the vote on the local option
question will determine whether the
majority of the voters of this COM
munity are in favor of keeping We
natchee in the vanguard of progress
or whether they will consent to the
establishment of an institution
which is an economic waste, a men
ace to morals, and always and every

HOW TO GET RID OF THE CATTLE TICKS
TAFT Butler.

"HE METHODS used in eradicat-
ing the cattle tick from a pas
Il ture are simple and easily I'M
derstood in the light of the facts al
ready given regarding their habits
and life history. The task to be ac-
complished is simply to prevent ticks
maturing on cattle, horses and mules
and dropping off these animals in
the pasture. Since neither the young
nor old ticks crawl far and practical
ly infest no other animals but cattle,
horses and mules, the pastures will
not be reinfested when once cleaned,
except where ticks are carried back
on to them by cattle, horses or mules.
The one other important fact to be
kept in mind is that when no ticks are
allowed to drop in a pasture from
May / to September /, or from Sep
TENDER / TO May l. the ticks infest-
ing the pasture will all die of star
walton.
Therefore, the first plan for tick
eradication which naturally suggests
itself 10 to remove all cattle, horses
and mules from a pasture from May
/ to September !. or from September
to May /. The latter period Is
twice as long as the first but in
cludes a season of the year which
yields the least pasturage. To take the
cattle out of the pasture during one of
these periods is the cheapest, easiest,
safest and by every and all means
the best method OF eradicating ticks.
This lis proved by experience and by
simple calculation OF the cost. The
method has proved successful I'm
thousands OF cases and is SO simple
and economical that IL is remarkable
that any other method is practiced.
We are convinced that this is the
most satisfactory method OF cleaning
pasture OF ticks and that IL would
still be most economical and best IL
the apsture were left vacan dur

authority have not urged this meth
