One Way the Tariff Works.

The American people are called
upon to pay the government on an
nual tax bill for the duty on cane
sugar amounting to more than
$50, 200, ,00O nor is this all, for the
price OF beet sugor and domestic
cane sugar is based not so much on
the cost Of producing these sugars
as it is on the price of imported
cane sugar which necessarily in
cludes the duty, so the consumers OF
sugar in this country pay tribute
not only to the government but also
to the beet sugar re6ners, in all, the
staggering sum Of one hundred to
one hundred and fifty millions OF
dollars
Sugar has become n necessity Of
life and the family in humble circum.
stances is not far behind It's rich
neighbor in per capita consumption,
a large part Of the burden Of the
sugar duty is therefore thrown upon
those least able TO bear it, and this,
we say, is Of itself reason enough
why there should be u radical
change
Whenever a iobber buys a car load
of sugar his invoice includes about
500 for the duty, Whenever n
housewife buys Si0O worth Of su.
gar she gets only 70 cents worth,
the other 80 cents OF her dollar be.
ing for the duty, Moreover, every
can Of preserved fruit, every jar Of
jam and jelly, every piece Of candy,
every glass Of soda water, and even
every stick of chewing gum must
yield its share Of the inexorable de.
mand of the government and the
beet sugar interests

An Exhortation.


Dear Christian friends who are
not engaged in Sunday school work
or who live in a community where
there is no Sunday school, will you
please weigh the remarks and test
yourselves with the questions | am
here setting forth.
What institution other than the
church could be set up in your COM
munity that would better advance
the cause of your Master than the
Sunday school? Surely every child
of God prays Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven" Then why are we not
"about our Fathers bueiness?"
True, the teaching of Gods word
in the Sunday school is not all of the
Fathers business, yet | hardly think
that anyone will deny that it is part
oft Sunday school work is not
essential to Salvation, but it is
work in the Masters vineyard, and
we are all needed there.
Christ said to his followers, "Why
call ye me Lord Lord, and do not
the things that | say?' Behold,
the harvest truly is great, but the
laborers are few, pray ye therefore,
the Lord of the harvest that he will
send forth laborers into his harvest. "
He calls his disciples the salt of the
earth and gives them his work of
reconciliation, Paul says 1--WE pray
you in Christ's stead, be We recon
ciled to God"
The message of the Bible TO the
unSaved is "Come to Christi" and
to those who have come it is "Go,
bring others" In what way are
you fulfilling this commission? The
Sunday School is second only to the
church in bringing souls to Christ,
then why not go into it with
prayer and determination?
# you have children you are anx-
ious that they be taught the word
food, Is it right to turn this part
of your own duty over to a kindly
disposed neighbor, or else leave it
unpcriormcd, There can be no con-
conditions under which idlcness is
justihable There is no excuse for
not doing ones duty that God will
accept. Some make the excuse that
Nature has disqualified them for
leaders, God would not take that
kind of excuse from Moses. If your
qualifications along this line are Of
the poorest in the neighborhood,
and those who are qualified will not
act, you ought to ask God to help
you and do your best, for if your
children do not receive proper spir-
itual training, it is YOU that must
bear the responsibility. Solomon
did not say Hyou train child up in
the way he should go, but without
the Hhc said Train the child up
! will come and help you to organ
ize if you will notify me, however
udo not have to have an organ
izer Take up the work in Gods
name and YOU will succeed,
Offered with kindly feeling and in
brothcrly love by your fellow serv.
ant, FRED W. WALKER.

PLAN TO USE OCEAN WATER
Engineers of California City Have
Project Which Does Credit
to Their Ingenuity.

This city is considering a unique
plan for solving the serious water
problem which it faces. The supply
is already inadequate, and an applica-
ton for a part of the Owens river
from Los Angeles has not been grant
ed. Now it is proposed to distill
ocean water for domestic purposes,
and the municipality may purchase
the Burning mountain, several miles
up the coast in the Santa Monica
range, for use as heating plant. 1t
is believed the sea water could be car
ried through a ~" pipe deep to the
hot interior of the smoking hill and
distilled at practically no cost. Power
might be produced, some engineers
think, that would enable the NUM-
cipality to maintain an electric light
ing plant.-Santa Monica Correspon-
dence San Francisco Chronicle.

Woman Bank President.

Mrs. Elizabeth Davidson has the dis
tinction of being the only woman bank
president in the state of Maine and
the fourth In this country. The bank
was founded 10 years ago and for 10
years continued under the same man
agement and in the same small rented
room. The first president dying, the
directors elected Mrs. Davidson to
take his place. 1t was such a small
matter that they were willing to trust
1t to a woman. Mrs. Davidson went
into the business with such vim that
the deposits increased from hundreds
to thousands and tens of thousands.
From one rented room the bank quar-
tiers. increased steadily. and short
time ago 1t was moved into fine new
building erected for 1t. Mrs. Davidson
attends every meeting of the directors
and keeps in close touch with every
detail Of the business.

like the bow of boat in front. To
preserve his balance the traveller
grasps two upright posts. At the outer
edge of each boat or shoe three small
paddles, shaped like rudders, are fast
ened. These move on hinges and are
worked by sliding mechanism that is
operated by the traveller pushing his
feet forward alternately, like boy
