The Best Investment.

Money invested in a home brings
you real rewards that cannot be
measured alone in dollars and cents.
There is satisfaction in knowing you
have home when possibly all other
investments fail. II gives you a
feeling OF security and commands the
recognition of your fellow towns
men. because by building you show
your faith in the community. a
home investment is always the most
meritorius and loss is less likely be-
cause you are dealing in values you
are IA a position TO ascertain.
One of the most unfortunate mis-
takes young people starting in life
make is to continually put off home
building, expecting that some day
they will be somewhere else where
life will be a little easier or sur
roundings more congenial.
Such localities only exist in the
Imagination.

en- more to entertainment than instruc-
ton, perhaps more superficial than
morning papers. which, while perhaps
standards, pitches them nearer to the
reading taste of the masses.
Evening papers are popular, in the
best meaning of the term, because they
reach the public at the time when it
wants to read newspapers; they con-
tain, day by day, more and later news,
and as a type have a distinct appeal
to the human interest of the masses.
The potency of these arguments in
favor of the superiority of evening
newspaper circulation from the stand
point of advertising is confirmed by the
fact that in nearly all cities, and with
out exception, where the evening news
paper is on a journalistic parity with
its morning competitors, they have the
larger city circulation. They have not
only the advantage of favorable circu-
lation conditions to give them superior
ity in quantity of circulation, but the
natural conditions surrounding their
time of appearance, their opportunities
to the universal customs and habits of
the reading public, give their circula-
ton a quality superiority.
The best tangible proof of this is the
fact that evening newspapers generally,
except only in situations where pecu-
liar conditions prevail, carry more ad-
vertising than their morning competi-
tors

her love upon some distant pinnacle Of

what was passing through his mind,
and yet, with a selfshness which had
not yet been overcome by nobler
impulse, she set herself to exact from
him a proof Of his love for her.

They spent the day in the city, and
as the afternoon advanced they once
more approached the parade ground,
where they expected to meet Timothy
Robson again. Mr.. Lake and Annie
stopped to view some passing soldiery,
and Sylvia had paused to find herself
the onlooker at a curious little scene.
A handsome though rather dissipat-

khaki lounged against q tree talking
to a very indignant young woman.
"Ah, what's the use?" he was mutter-
ing sullenly, when his companion in

angry voice.

young man weakly, when the girl sud

her pretty chin In the air.
Her words rang in Sylvia's ears as
they went to meet Timothy. Before
her was the city Of tents, busy
with the hum Of preparation, the nut

When Timothy's grave eyes ques-
toned hers he was startled by the
blue fash of patriotism that Sylvia's
eyes declared.

and with emphasis laid on each word

sentative estimate, 20 millions Of
people.

rope. The largest number are in
Great Britain, but in Italy, Germany,
Sweden and especially in Russia and
the Balkan states they are spread
ing rapidly through missionary ef-
forts largely backed by Baptists of
the United States and Canada.
While there are in the United States
several small Baptist bodies. they
are for all practical purposes of
enumeration divided into three large
bodies. These are the Baptists
North, the Baptists South and the
Baptists Colored. The largest single
body is the first named.
Baptists like Rev. F. B. Meyer of
London, Rev. DR.. r. s. Macarthur,
Rev. DR.. Fl. L. Morehouse. Rev, DR..

to London to fill the Sturgeon pulpit
permanently, and others are leading
in education, in missions, in world
peace, in social service. in union of
effort, along with a common purpose
that seem to actuate the whole
world.

| Baptists Of the world will meet In
Philadelphia this month. American
/ Baptists will hold sessions from
about June % to consider missionary
work at home and abroad as con-
Quoted by them, and from June 10
TO rs representative Baptist leaders
from Europe, Asia, South Africa and
Australia will confer There will
be reports of Baptist struggles and
successes, but the emphasis of the
gathering Twill not be Baptist, but
Baptist service. This service report
ed on will be to missions, to depend
ent races, TO education, to arbitra-
ton. to labor and TO Christian unity.
The president of the Baptist World
alliance, who will be present and
preside until a new president is chos-
en-, is the Rev. DR.. John Clifford Of
England, one OF the foremost men of
Great Britain, not alone as a .Bap-
fist, but as a Christian and publicist.
There comes also from England Sir
George w. McAlpine, president of
the Baptist Union of Great Britain,
chairman OF the Baptist Missionary
society. and one of the most infiu-
entail nd generous laymen of the
north Il England.
Exceptional interest centers in the
delegates who come to Philadelphia
from Russian and southeastern Eu-
rope. Against almost medieval per-
secutions, Baptist ministers have won
their way in foreign lands. Rev. w.
Fetler, who will be at the meeting.
is one OF the best known men in

The Evening Newspaper.

Speaking of THE Why Of the Even
ing Newspaper" the Houston (Texas)
Chronicle says that people reading a
newspaper under stress, no matter how
slight-the necessity Of getting down
town to business promptly. interest in
the proper arrangement of the house
hold for the day, semi-absorption in
the days work-do so more hastily,
more cursorily and with less attention
TO the advertising.
With practically all, except the leis-
ure class, which is inconsequential, the
period from O'Clock in the afternoon
until O'Clock in the evening-the in
term between the suspension of bust
ness and the beginning of social or
recreatory activities-is not only the
most convenient. but it is the period
in which the average mans or woman's
mind is less occupied with the serious
matters Of life and business and the
more susceptible TO the incidental sug-
gestions of advertising. 1t is so uni
versal a custom as not to require proof
that nine out of ten people do not arise
in the morning except at the latest
hour with which they can dress, have
their morning meal and be at their
work whether in town or at home.
Practically all people who work at all
during the day are so occupied in the
morning. II they have any leisure dur
ing the working day, it is usually in
the afternoon or evening. The first
leisure that most people have for the
kind of newspaper reading that brings
about advertising reading, and the best
advertising results, is after the work
of the day is over. The morning news
paper is scanned. The evening paper
is absorbed
Evening newspapers as a class are
better than morning newspapers, in
themselves, holding the attention of
readers longer than morning papers.
The important news of the world de-
velops for evening papers, because the
daytime is the period of greatest &C
tivity in every sphere of life, except
local recreation. Modern news facili-
ties have reached their highest devel-
opment for afternoon newspapers. at
tanning almost instantaneous transmits
sion. An important happening in New
York reaches Houston in an incredibly
short time. Even the market quota
tons, which until comparatively recent
years were possible only for morning
papers in detail, are now printed ev-
erywhere in the United States within
30 minutes after the closing Of the ex-
changes. Morning papers are left
