Meade Co. S. S. Convention,

Meade Co. S. S. Convention.
The Meade Co. S. S. convened
at Plains last Tuesday afternoon
as was previously announced.
Teacher training by Noah. w.
Gilbert of Little Rock, Ark. was
ably handled and he made it
quite plain that what we need to-
day is more trained Sunday
School teachers.
The Symposium on the Sunday
School teacher; "As Christian"
by Mrs. Cora Kreshner of Fow-
Ter, and GAS a student, by Rev.
Sperow of Meade, and "As Soul
Winner, by E. w. Mcneil of
Plains was one of the best num-
bers of the program, and some
of the good thoughts given by
these speakers were: That the
Sunday School teacher should be
a genuine, consecrated christian;
should be a good student; should
have high estimation of the
value of soul and should see in
every pupil soul to be brought
to Christ. Ed. E. Callahan made
a short talk on the above sub
ject.
The address by Fred E. Gates
of Topeka on Sunday School
Aches and Pains contained some
good thoughts and some humor.
He gave the people a quotation
to remember as follows: sit is a
: sin for any Sunday School to be
be smaller than it can be-"
: AS the time for this session
was up, Robert E. Fife did not
talk on the subject assigned to
him.
At the evening session the
song service was followed by a
report from ]. B. Mcclure on the
: state S. S. Convention at Topeka,
I this report was very interesting
= Then Mr.. Gates talked some
more on Sunday School Aches
and Pains; he said some of the
diseases of our Sunday Schoo
members are Hookworm and
Govt; he gave remedies for these
troubles and number of others
During this talk he asked that
collection be taken for his ant
Mr.. Gilbert's expenses; he asked
for SIS and they received Sl5.2S

Concord, N H, March 3.-The
New Hampshire state senate, by a
vote of IA to 8 yesterday killed a
resolution passed by the house sew
eral weeks ago, ratifying the income

OVER 100 BILLS PRESENTED.
One hundred and four bills were
presented in the house yesterday, in
Guiding an assortment of good, bad
and Indifferent measures in which So
called regulators" predominated.
Hereafter it will be possible to in
troduce bills in the house only under
unanimous consent.
With yesterdays grist the total
number of bills introduced in the
house reached 423, which is little
more than one-half the number US
ually introduced up to the time of
the last roll call.
The flood of measures was caused
by a sudden awakening of members
to a realization that yesterday was
the last day for the unlimited intro
duction of bills.

Home rule is not now and never has

It is no mere academic question

home rule from those who wish con-

have died for their convictions IN this
matter. and within the past few weeks
men have expressed anew their willing

Tho Sap Is Coasulated by the Action
of Funsent Smoke.
The industry OF collecting and pre-
pairing rubber is carried on extensively
in the valley of the Amazon. There are
districts of many square miles owned
and operated by one person. The rub
Der trees are scattered more or less
pIentifully among other trees that
yield no profit as yet
When one has secured a large tract
Of forest land for the industry he puts
up a rough shelter upon It and en-
cages Indian natives of the neighbor-
hood to aid him in the work. Early in
the morning they start out to make
the rounds of the estate, for they must
get back to the riverside before the
heat OF the day becomes too great.
They tap the trees, attach little tin
cups to catch the sap and take home
whatever sap may be collected.
The sap of the rubber tree is a white
liquid Of the consistency Of goats milk
It Is necessary that 1t be converted
into solid. This is effected by the
action OF a pungent smoke that 'coagu-
lates or curdles the milky fluid. For
this use the seeds Of two different
kinds of palm are employed. The seeds
are put in an esrthen jar which has q
narrow neck, the bottom of which is
perforated with a number of square
holes. In this the palm nuts are
burned. The holes in the bottom of the
jar admit a draft and cause a dense
smoke to issue from the neck

Two-thirds of Illinois is underlaid by

Conservationists think, the report
says, that in the long run this fact may
prove a misfortune, because it has fos-

wastes of life and mineral fuel.
