Editor of The Citizen:
The people of White Mills were
very much surprised to read the ar
ticle in The Herald that the money
subscribed by them to the Hospital
Fund was still available for that
purpose. The subscription paper
that was circulated through White
Mills was headed as follows:
We, the undersigned, do hereby
agree to contribute the sum oppos-
ite our names respectively toward a
fund to be used for the erection and
dale, Pa, for the use of the people
payable March 1, 1911, provided
that at that time the entire amount
subscribed shall be at least five
thousand dollars"
1t was with this understanding
that the money was subscribed.
When the time was up and the agree
ment had not been lived up to, those
who had already given in their con-
tribution had their money returned
to them.
When the hospital proposition had
fallen through, a movement was
SJdTL6u JO erect d flT6 f1OuSo at
White Mills, and almost all of those
here, who had contributed to the
Hospital Fund signed their names
to a new subscription for the same
amount to be used for Fire House
which is now in the course of con-
struction.
The opposition shown by the med
ical profession and others has killed
a project that would have been a
benefit to all.
There was also funds collected in
different ways for the Hospital in
White Mills and the people are anxi-
Gus to know what is to become of
the money collected. 1t should be
returned to them.

POLITENESS PAYS.

Politeness pays uniformly; like
virtue (indeed it is phase of vir-
tue) it brings it's own reward-and
sometimes in more readily appre-
ciable form, as in the instance here
noted: Four years ago a young man
named O'Neal exchanged his lower
berth on a sleeping car for the up
per berth held by j. |. Young of Cal
ifornia. Mr.. Young was in poor
health, and thought so highly of the
courtesy that he bequeathed in his
will the sum of $4,000 to O'Neal

UNCLE SAM BURNS
BILLIONS IN BONDS
AND HAS HARD JOB
Destruction of War Time
"Seven-Thirties" Almost
Balks Treasury.

Uncle Sam" has money to burn In
the most literal sense possible. In fact
some Of his employees would lose their
jobs in a hurry, if they failed in the
complete the burning of more than
&, ,000, zoo. 900.
This amount of money in Government
bonds, and old 7-3Os of war time days
are being used for coal at the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing. 1t is fig-
ured by the expert firemen and engi-
neers of the Government, that the burn
ing Of all this money will save Uncle
sam the price Of just two tons of coal
and soft coal at that.
The committee of the Treasury hav-
ing charge OF the destruction of old
currency, waa given ;he task of de-
stroying 5000, 100000 in redeemed bonds,
The committee ordered them macerated
IN the machine at the bureau. Under
the eagle eye of the regular watchers
the bonds were dumped into the macera-
tor in small lots, but the macerator re-
fused to macerate. The bonds were too
big, and the paper too heavy. After
a consultation the committee decided to
cut them up. But the cutter also sue
cumbed, and the committee sought for
other means. To burn them was ap-
parently the next most logical course.
The bonds now being burned represent
nearly the entire wartime issue of the
Government, including those issued for
the national bonded debt up to the year
1885, when several new war issues were
made.

Precedent Will Prevent
Lower Ten" Conven-
ton In Capital.

THE lower ten will not be allowed
to hold a convention in the Senate

tors and officials about the Capitol said
today when they read the dispatches
from New York saying that J. Eads

ing Of the unemployed. said he would
ask President Taft to allow the ccnven-
tlon of the lower ten to be held In
the Senate chamber from September ]
to 4. That convention will deal with
the problem Of unemployment.
Mr.. How announced that appeals
would be made TO Vice President Sher-
lLan and Speaker Clark and that IL the
Senate chamber could not be secured an
effort would be made 10 get the House.
II was pOinteJ out today that Presi-
dent Taft had no more to do with the
disposition OF the Senate chamber or the
Housr chamber than any other citizen
And as to allowing those chambers to
be used fer meetings OF private organi-
zatiOns or for nOn-official purposes, II
has come tc be the fixed policy of the
Senate and House not to allow 1t. This
applies no more to unemployed than to
employed.
The disposition Of Congress is to re-

Mormon's Likeness Apt
To Go on Ships Service

Preliminary to the appearance Of a
committee to protest against the accept
ance of the silver service for the United
States battleshlp Utah, given by the
State of that name, the large artists
design, showing the picture OF Brigham
Young, has been sent TO the office OF
Assistant Secretary Beekman Winthrop.
Il have no sympathy whatever for the
protest." said Mr.. Winthrop this morn
ing. There is only one piece Of the
entire 12S in the service that bears any
likeness or reference TO Brigham Young.
At first when the storm of protest arose
l supposed his likeness appeared on ev-
cry piece of the service AS a matter
of fact. each piece carries some likeness
of Utah scenery. and this picture OF
Young is but a likeness OF the monu-
ment erected to him in Salt Lake City"
1t is apparent that the protest brought
about by wOmen's clubs the country
over is going to be of no avail, and that
the service, which is the most elaborate
and expensive of any rendered bv any
State to a ship bearing its name. will
not be declined.

GIRL PHARMACIST
SAYSPHARMACy WILL
Be HER LIFE WORK
Miss Mary Richardson
Hopes To Open a Store
Of Her Own.

Being entitled to place after her name
the words licensed pharmacist" Miss
Mary Richardson, of 1893 Columbia
road, is receiving today the congratula-
tions of her friends. Miss Richardson
passed the recent examination Of the
Board Of Pharmacy with flying colors,
and is authorized to compound prescrfp-
tionsc in any drug store in the District
of Columbia. Unlike many women who
study a profession merely for the sake
of the knowledge gained. she intends to
make p.-armacy her life work and cher
ishes an ambition to own a store of her
own. Her brothers. E. K. and S. A.
Richardson are the owners of three
drug stores at North Capitol and P
streets, Third street and Pennsylvania
avenue, and 1912 Seventh street north
wes. In one of these Miss Richardson
will gain her practical experience. AL
though pharmacy is an unusual profess
sion for a woman. II was chosen by
Miss Richardson because, as she ex-
pressed it. she lust couldn't help it."
From her earliest childhood-and she
is only twenty-five years old now-she
has been accustomed to being around
drug stores, and decided that the pro-
fession of pharmacy was the one most
suited to her.
Ever since I was a little girl l have
wanted to be a pharmacist" said Miss
Richardson. II suppose II runs In the
family My brotheB are the owners of
drug stores and there is no reason why
should not be also. I am going to
work in one of my brothers stores for
a while, and later will open an estab-
lishment of my own.
Il had to study and work hard, but.
having passed my examination. I feel
amply repaid for all my efforts"
Miss Richardson is a graduate of the
College of Pharmacy of George Wash

TEMPERANCE UNION
ABANDONS SINFUL,

No Hope For Those Who
Have Formed Habits,

Abandoning as useless the efforts tc

TO educating children against such evils
This is the plan of the temperance or.

I'VE are powerless 10 check the ten
dency of young men and women to go
TO beer gardens and other places where
low forms of amusement are provided -
said Mrs. Shelton. More young wom-
en- are going to the beer gardens this
season than ever before, but our sole
hope is in education. If we can teach
the young people the dangers of drink.
we can be successful, but we have
learned that 1t Is next to useless to at
tempt TO reform people who have al
ready formed habits. Those who are
reformed only in very rare instances
stay reformed.
Work in Public Schools.
Our attention in the future will be
confined largely to work in the public
schools. We do not believe in spasmodic
crusades. They accomplish little
Mrs. Shelton said she knew OF no
cases where liquor was being sold to
girls under age, but said she was sure
that many mothers were not familiar
with the fact that their daughters visit
the beer gardens.
Our hope is to reach the young peo-
pie through their parents she said.
THE conditions here are becoming ap-
palling. Well-dressed young women go
to the gardens and drink with their es-
corts until they not only become foolish,
but lose all control Of themselves. We
seem powerless to remedy conditions,
and must confine our efforts to educa-
ton. The liquor dealers are living
within the law"
Trend of the Times.
Mrs. Shelton was unable TO account
for her belief that more young people
were drinking in Washington this year
than ever before except by advancing
the theory that the trend Of the times
is toward more liberal. less dignifed
living.
She says that the efforts in the past
have been to rescue people from the
mouth of the river after they have
fallen in the stream of iniquity. This.
she says, has been unsuccessful. so the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
by standing at the head of the stream
and preventing the young people from
falling in. hopes to accomplish what 1t
has failed to in the past.

WHAT TO DO WITH
SHOWED IN FLAX
DEAN SHEPHERD OF THE A. c.
GIVES A FARMER SOME ADVICE
ABOUT HANDLING FLAX THAT
HAS BEEN STACKED AFTER 1T
HAD BEEN SHOWED ON.

The following letter and its answer
by Dean ]. H. shepperd may be Of
general interest:
Dear Sir: / am very much in need
of advice and would more than appre-
ciate your help. I have a piece, sixty
acres. of very late fax which had
to let stand as long as possible on
account OF 1t being very uneven, well
the snow caught most of II in the
windrow. as we had had so much fog
that ! was able to get UP only few
loads before the snow. 1 dug it out
and punched 1t and then the worst
trouble started as the wind blew many
OF the punches full of snow. We shook
1t out as we'll as we could but Of
course this still left considerable snow
in and We stacked 1t. What is the
best thing for me to do with it? There
is at least Ave bushels per acre in it..
The thresher claims he can get most
OF It out now and yet he does not
want to thresh 1t by the bushel. One
man tells me he saw flax successfully
threshed when they had to chop much
OF 1t out Of the stack with axes. Shall
try to thresh it now or can l save
more of 1t by waiting until spring
after it thaws out? The weather is
now running about 5 below.
Yours truly,

PARK BUILDERS
ARE in Session
CITY PARK COMMISSION CLOSING
UP DETAILS OF THE OAK
GROVE PARK sITE-RouLEvARD
AROUND THE CITY rs ALSO
UNDER DISCUSSION.

The park commission Is holding an
adjourned session this afternoon
Some details in connection with the
recent purchase of the property in Oak
Grove for a park are to be closed up.
There has been much favorable com
ment on the action Of the commission
in this matter.
One matter in which the park people
are greatly interested is a boulevard
around the outskirts OF the city. One
of the favored routes is to start from
the new park site In Oak Grove, run
west on Thirteenth avenue north to
the big slough then south to the city
limits, then east to the Darling farm
and north up the river through Island
park.
hThis would make a ideal drive
and would be a joy and delight for au-
toists, owners of driving teams motor
cycle and bicycle riders.
The commission later on will secure
a lot of little park sites in the business
and residence districts Some people
with odd lots here and there have al
ready discussed the matter OF donating
them to the city. Others with a lot
OF valuable property around some va
cant lots may also help.

Man MUST Will
TO Be CHRISTIAN
A STRONG ADDRESS DELIVERED
LAST EVENING BY REV. r. A.
BEARD IN REVIVAL SERVICE
LARGE NUMBER WAS IN AT.
TENDANCE.

There was a splendid attendance last
evening at the union revival service at
the Presbyterian church. The meetings
promise to result in many conversions.
The speaker last evening was Rev.
r. A. Beard. He took as his text.
Whosoever Will, Let Him Take of the
Water of Life Freely. Rev. xxi, II.
This invitation seems to include ev-
erybody; but it does not" said Mr..
Beard. at includes only those who
will. There are great many people
who never reach the point where they
definitely will to accept the gospel
offer.
"The Bible invitation turns on the
human will.
mo man can get into the kingdom
of God without elaboration and def
mite exercise of his will Character,
salvation, virtue. can only be had by
the voluntary exercise Of the will.
There is no such thing as salvation
by magic!
"All God can do is to warn men of
the danger OF sin, and then entreat
and persuade and appeal and try to in
duce them to forsake, sin. But, in the
last analysis no man ever forsakes a
life of self indulgence and sin until he
wills to do so.
ut is not enough that a man have
some aspiration or longing for bet
ter life. 1t is not enough that he sin
cerely wishes and desires to lead bet
ter life. He must definitely and de-
liberately choose to lead a better life.
The young lawyer who came to Christ
had awakened in him a desire to be a
better man. He said to Christ, Good
Master, what shall | do to inherit
eternal life?, But when he was told
all that was involved in such a life he
did not will to accept the offer.
'cThe man who clearly sees his need
of help from God, and then deliberately
wills to accept that help is the man
and the only man-to whom the offer
in the text is made: whatsoever will,
let him take OF the water of life freely
And such a man may have life freely
and abundantly; for to such a man all
the resources of God Almighty are
pledged for time and for eternityl
"Sin -burdened man. disheartened
woman, summon your will and step
over into the land of promise-life for
ever more The only thing between
you and life filled with God is either
your neglect. or your refusal, to choose
and enter upon that life unreservedly
and Internationally.
You can have life If you will, Who
