plause would hardly be in keeping.
Rev. Howard Hanson, First Baptist
church. was rather more conservative
than his brother ministers in the cap
ital city. He said that while he has
no particular objection to applause in
the church, he thinks it would be an
intrusion on the meditations Of a
preacher. In cases where the spiritual,
more than the material things are
uppermost, applause would not be
proper.
1t would be interesting to have the
views of Keokuk ministers and church
folks generally on the propriety OF
applause in church services. The
Gate City would be glad to hear from
its readers on the subject, provided
they will make their contributions
brief and to the point.

MINISTER'S WOULD LIKE APP
PIAUSE

Senator Lafayette Young struck a
responsive chord among Des Moines
ministers vhen he suggested recently
that they be applauded when they
make good points i'll their sermons.
While the majority of them are not
in favor of applause being made a US
ual custom. as at a political rally, they
have caught the spirit of Senator
Youngs idea and heartily agree that
upon certain occasions response from
congregation would be perfectly in
order AS one man put it, little
/ roofing might help along the cause
of Christianity as effectively as it does
team in football game.
Among those who expressed them
selves on the subject was Rev. F. W.
Hodgen. pastor of Plymouth Congrega-
tional church. who said that there is
no reason why there should not be ap-
piause during services, providing it is
in keeping with the circumstances.
There Is no need of a man sitting
there like mummy all during ser
vice. Let him show some apprecia-
tion OF what he is hearing If it meets
his approval Besides, the sentiment
will have more weight with the con.
gregation If it is applauded and thus
heartily approved
Rev. Finish Idleman of the Central
Church of Christ expressed himself
as follows:
There are occasions when applause
would be IN keeping with the spirit
Of the occasion. For instance. if a
matter of public issue or morals is
touched upon, it ought 10 be approved
by the audience in forceful way. A
demonstration by the people both en-
courages the preacher and gives the
feelings OF the people in regard to the
matter"
Rev. Charles T. Proudfit of the First
United Presbyterian church is quoted
as saying:
1T would cheer us up little 20
have little roofing now and then. If
for no other good, it would serve to
keep the sleepers awake. Applause
should NOT be too frequent, however,
or il would lose its effect. just as in
other cases. Where The idea of rev

The cosr OF LIVING.

According to Don G. Seitz, business
manager OF the New York World,
the cost OF living is the cost of con-
venience-that's ALL Mr.. Seitz has
been in Des Moines for several days
and he made the foregoing remark in
the course of newspaper interview.
! He went ON to explain that we pay
more for things we get because We
like the convenient methods by which
we obtain those things and also be-
cause those very conveniences give
us time to do the things which bring
us larger returns, financially. for the
effort expended. BY way of illustra-
ton he said:
For instance, | asked woman the
other day If she would trade with a
grocer who did moi have telephone
and would nor deliver the groceries
to her house. Her answer came quick
and sure that she would not. Yet
the telephone is an additional expense
TO the grocer, bringing no return. So
is his delivery automobile or his
delivery horses and wagon. They are,
at the same time, a great convenience
to the housewife. They save her run
ming down to the city, perhaps mile
away, and buying her supplies and
then carrying them home. The cost
of this convenience to the consumer
adds to the price of the thing he pt'-
chases for consumption and rightly
so.
Again housewife goes into the
butcher shop and orders a fillet OF
beef. She gets it and has it delivered.
She gets it because the modern butch
er has many choice cuts of beef in
his shop TIE old-time butcher had
one beef cut up in his shop. The first
customers got the choice cuts and the
last ones what was left. Today he
has forty choice cuts. 1t is con-
venience. to his customers to get, III
a hurry particular cut the customer
desires. Il costs him something for
that convenience for it costs the
butcher more to keep forty choice cuts
of the same kind than it did the old
time butcher to keep one beef cut up.
"A great many Of us are economic
wastes. ] have friend who is va
ter expert and can make 500 per day.
He moved to a quiet place in Maine
and cut some wood, piled 1t nicely in
his basement and 1t took him six
weeks to do IT. Thas man could
earn $50 per day and he spent six
weeks cutting and piling that wood.
He could have hired Frenchman TO
cut and pile it for $50 per day, or
$40. BY his action he wasted his own
time to the value of s2,2o0 and denied
to the Frenchman the right TO earn
his s4o He was an economic waste.
Any man who tries to do the work he
is not trained to do, instead of giving
that work to the man who is fitted for
it, is an economic waste"
In the same interview Mr. Seitz de-
clared that Americans are all turning
dark. We are becoming brunettes and
losing our blondes in both sexes, but
he confessed his inability to explain
why Another thing, we are becoming
1Injuns,' according to Mr.. Seitz. The
cults and isms of the present day, in
his view, reveal mysticism much
akin 10 that of the Indian. We are
also. he said, showing the Indian in
us in oui physical being as we'll as
mental. The isolation of the farm
and the prairie drove women insane
and the men went insane on politics.

Director OF the Mint George E. Rob-
erts approves the Aldrich plan of
monetary reform. He says it is more
conservative than his own plan and
he does not believe that under it
there would be any reason to fear
that the bank would not be used for
the best interests OF the public. 1t
seems to him that the presence of
four government officials on the COM
mittee out OF nine would in fact ems
able the government to control the
policy of the institution at any time
should it desire to do so. 1t would
only be necessary to have one of the
other five on the executive committee
take sides with the government to en-
able it to dominate.

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

A statement denying the recent re-
ports about the abandonment of the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale has
been issued by the National Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. The statement declares
that not only will the sale be held
this year, as in the past three years,
but that it will be conducted on broad
er lines than ever before. The only
order issued by the postoffice depart
ment which bears on the sale of Red
Cross seals was sent out on July /,
and prohibits the use of the mails to
letters and packages bearing non
postage stamps on the face, and also
to any mail bearing seals which re-
semble postage stamps, if used either
on the face or back. The Red Cross
seal to be used this year has been
submitted to the postoffice depart
ment and approved, and thus may be
used. but only on the back of letters
and packages. The design to be used
this year depicts pretty winter scene
embossed in heavy red circle The
corners are white, thus giving the ef-
feet when affixed to a letter or a
package of round seal.
