Filling Our Limitations With Beauty

~ ONE of US who rail at our limitations, others of us who are dis
L. contented~ or resigned under them, according to our temperament
!, D might find some pleasant and nourishing food for thought in the
- fact that Raphael and other of our master painters achieved their
greatest trinmphs in art when compelled to FIJI some definite panel or circle
or oval Some OF the most beautiful, most inspiring, most uplifting things
Raphael ever did are the fiezes and panels and ovals he painted to order
for churches n palaces or att the command of some wealthy patron.
Suppose, when told to decorate a certain space, he had said tmpatenty
o arrogantIy, Il can't paint a picture by the yard" think Of the beauty
the world would have missed. Think too. of what he would have lost
himself not fame, but what is more important an ever growing sense Of
beauty, skill in showing 1t forth, and an ever finer character development
For when given a space to fill, instead of railing at his limitations he imme-
diately began to see with the eye of the spirit that space filed with beauty
He Immediately began to plan how he could utilize what he had to the best
advantage 10 as o make the result 4 delight to the eye.
The analogy is obvious. We may not be Raphaels. We may not
a masterpiece. But We can fill it with something of beauty If we make the
effort. Perhaps, we may. all unconsciOusE, achieve a master pece,-who
can tell? Sometimes We weave the garment Of life al did certain workers
of old, from the under side; and never zee the beautiful pattern that Is
coming out, until it is finished But others see 1t and marvel and go on
their way lifted up and heartened. But whsher we do this or not, We can
add something of beauty to the world, If we go to our task with determine
ton to work in the spirit of artistry, and not to raj. and growl, and do
things just as III as we can, instead of doing what has been set u to do,
Just as we'll as we can.
And a comforting feature of limitations, that Raphael never
knew, is that our condiuons-when they are not of our own making-are
set by One who knows what is best for us. Raphael had to paint often at
the within Of a patron, n perhaps who knew little of art Yet he cheer.
fully accepted his task and turned out a thing of beauty. But the lmita-
lions set about us may be the very things 70 need to develop those parts
them with Joy and fill them with beauty.

AS TO PATENTS.

It was the consensus of opinion that the present methods for granting of patents in use at the United States patent office are better than any in use by any government in the world. The t1eplOrable condition at the patent office on account of congestion and overcrowding due to the failure of the congress to provide suitable quarters for this most important government office, was brought out not only in the papers, but in the visit to the patent office during the afternoon. This condition prevails in spite of the fact that the patent bureau has been operated with such economy thac a surplus of seven million dollars has accrued during it's operation from eX- cess of income from patent fees over expenditures. It was also brought out that the most serious defects in our present patent system are met by the inventor after his patent has been granted. Intolerable delays occur, and enormous expense is involved in pat

SLOAN WILL RECEIVE
 RECESS APPOINTMENT
Republican Correspondent Says Senate Will Not Act on the Matter
 at This Session.

\ special dispatch to The Republi- can last evening says the indications in Washington are that no action will be taken at this session of congress by the senate on the confirmation of Richard E. Sloan as federal judge fo" the district of Arizona. Tn this case, the dispatch continues, Sloan will be reappOinted as soon as congress ad- jOurns."
 While this information will be- disappointment to the friends of the former governor who had hoped tn. senate would see fit to confirm the appointment before adjournment it only means a deferring of the day upon which Judge Sloan enters upon the duties of the office.
 As soon as congress adjOurns the president will reappOint Sloan, and then there being no senate to confirm or reject, the recess appointment will be of full force and effect until some action is taken by the upper house
 If congress adjourns before The ma tiOnal conventions, Judge Sloan will qualify for the office next month. When congress reassembles in Decem Der, the appointment will again be sen to the senate for action, Judge Sloan retaining the office until the senate either confirms or rejec,s the appoint ment. tx-A

 But they also recognized the fact that the problems of dry farming. two-thirds of the way across Kan sas from east to west present some big questions They want light and education and expert knowledge.

A STORY OF REAL HEROISM,

Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and Preside, tells the following story in the current issue of his periodical:
 Last year was a bad year for Trego county, Kansas, so far as crops are concerned-but I suspect it turned out more heroiSm to the acre than any year they ever had. The drought was so bad that they had to begin feeding in July. A large proportion of my readers don't know what a drought is. They think they do; but they don't.
 But the Trego county farmers full of confidence in their wonderful soil. prepared the ground as usual and sowed their. wheat-a normal acreage in spite of the drought-all the seed for which they had to inn port

A South Side Event That Proved a Success in Ev- cry Way and Brought Fame to the Ladies' Aid Society

The weather man having ordered one of AriZona's ideal moonlight even lngS for Wednesday last, the social given by the l..

The people came not only from the south side, but from the north side and many of the Phoenicians as well However despite the crowd, no one was crowded for the beautiful new Townsend home was an ideal place for such a gathering. As soon as it was found that most of the guests were remaining seated, one of the ladies announced that no one under fifty-five years of age would be al lowed a chair without a forfeit of twenty five cents. As yet 1t has been aScertained whether the age limit or the fine was the stimulus but, at any rate, there was a general uprising and, since it is easier to move about than to stand still, the fun began.
 There were tables in the dining room and on the screened porch where ice cream and cake were served all dur ing the evening; d candy booth satis fled the lovers of sweetmeats, @nd iced lemonade was sold at another booth One of the ladies had a corner all 10 herself where she sang Roses, roses, who will ouy my rOses?" and many did she sell

FEW MUsKMELoN DISEASES
Leaf Blight Causes Large Dead Areas
In Leaves-Fungus Attacks
Stems Of All Plants.
fBy A. D. sELRY.l


Muskmelon leaf blight is a disease
more or less peculiar to the musk
melon, although the fungus which
causes it has also been found upon
cucumber leaves.
The leaf blight causes rather large
dead areas in the leaves, which are
usually distinguished from those Of
mildew by their larger size and the
tendency of the central portion to
break out. The prevention of musk
melon leaf blight is by no means an
easy matter, requiring of itself great
thoroughness and carefulness in the
application of the Bordeaux mixture
and also requiring that the downy
mildew shall be watched during the
same period For this reason earlier
sprayings, if made before August 1,
should be repeated at fortnightly in
tervals, while those after August 1
should be at weekly or ten-day inter
walls. Melon growers have succeeded
by following these lines, while others

CAUSE OF PLUM BLACK KNOT
Tree Wart Is Undoubtedly Due to
FUNGUS Growth and Most Preva-
lent In Hot, Damp Seasons.

The plum tree wart OF black knot is
said to be due to a ball produced by
an insect or from fungous growth. Mr..
p. Barry, in his Fruit Garden, says It
Is undoubtedly due to fungous growth.
1t is most prevalent In hot, damp sea-
sons. He says: "Cions should never
be taken from diseased tree. Cut
ting out the diseased branch clean to
che sound wood, the moment the knots
begin to appear, in an effectual rem
edy. and these cuttings should all be
burnt at once. We have saved trees
six inches in diameter, that we're af-
fected on the trunk so seriously that
one-third of its thickness had to be
removed to get below the disease.
After it was cut out we applied plas-
ter Of grating composition, covered 1t
with cloth and in two years 1t was
all healed over and sound.
"Plum and damson trees are the
two fruits most injured by this fun
gous disease. If the warts are not cut
out and the branches upon which
they grow are not burnt, it will not
be long before the entire tree is af-
fected, causing the loss of the tree.
Wild trees with this disease should
be cut down and burnt.

an effective way to destroy the nest

heat kills the worms at once and will
not injure the branches.
