The Chinese beggars, just like

Necessity did arise some time
ago when the Central China Re-

The association is one of the pro-

the things its members pledged
themselves to was the discour-

One Of the chief reasons why this
country leads the world in divorce is
because Americans so often settle
this question in the wrong way by
the wife and husband each going
his or her own way-the wife going
in for society. and the husband go

ing in Reno. When you smeet a
married woman travelling alone. or
going TO balls and theaters with
friends, instead of her husband, you
don't need any other tip as to the
state of affairs in that family.

have to WORK so hard they haven't

Conservation of Human
Race as an Urgent Need
---and---
Development Of Deserv-
ing Men and Women
Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

"HERE is one need of the
times that the generosity of
our large givers seems not
quite to have touched. but need
which, if handsomely met. would
go far toward the conservation of
valuable material that is now run
ming to waste
We have latterly learned TO
realize that our wealth in forests,
water power and minerals has
been dealt with 50 carelessly and
extravagantly as seriously to i'm
pair our resources, and TO cause
mischief that only the prolonged
pursuance of more cautious pol
icy will avail to repair.
But our new policy of conserva-
ton viii not be complete till it also
extends itself outside the region of
our material assets. Very much of
the humanitarian work that is be
ing done is done in pursuance Of
the conservation idea, and is an at
tempt to prevent values in human
bodies, minds and characters from
being wastefully sacrificed.
Our thought just now is upon one
particular class of people-men and
whose embarrassed condi-
ton is making consistent appeal
to any man who is known to be at
all interested in those who have
abilities and ambition, but whose
abilities are rendered unproductive
and their ambitions disappointed
by the imperlous limitations of cir
cumstances-peop who could do
something worth while, but who
are so hampered by adverse condi-
tons that they have no chance to
get a start

If They Have Ability
That S Half the Fight.

If they have ability and grit they
do not need much; but if they have
those qualifications, society. the
state, the schools, the worlds bust
ness, the church. can not afford to
have their powers of effect wasted
Fine and competent humanness
is more necessary to the world
than crude oil and timber.
Men and women, capable and
confident, are the best product Of
our civilization, and the recovery
of such from helplessness TO use
fulness is one Of the best enter
prises to which men Of wealth can
give their hearts and apply their
means.

THREE FIGHT IN FLOOD
TO SAVE HELPLESS MAN

Torrents Sweeps Cabin of Aged Re-
cluse to Brink of Cataract.
Uniontown, Pa.-Floated, with his
cabin, to a cataracts edge, William
H Mcdowell, an aged mountaineer,
owes his life to the heroism of Chas.
Hardy, a neighbor, and John Hardy
his 10 year old son.
Awakened by cries for help, the
elder Hardy went to the door of his
mountain home and saw McDowelrs
cabin whirlng down Devils Creek,
which had become a torrent and had
swept McDowell's cabin away as the
old man lay asleep.
A short distance below the Hardy
home the stream plunges 800 feet in
to an abyss floored by sharp, jagged
rocks. Toward these falls floated the
cabin while Mcdowell knelt in the
doorway, praying and calling for
hely.
Hardy plunged into the icy waters,
reached the cabin and then, with an
arm about his neighbor, struck out
for shore. The torrent swept him
toward the falls despite his best ef-
forts.
When ready to give up he heard
the whirr of rope thrown them by
John Hardy, the son. The elder Har-
dy seized it and slipped it about his
shoulders. The three men were drag
ged along until the two in the water
were within few yards of the falls
The boy finally got a hitch about a
tree and was thus enabled to drag the
two men to shore.
The boys hands were lacerated and
| his body was bruised and bleeding as
result of the fight among the rocks
and brush. When the elder Hardy
and the aged recluse at last climbed
| up the bank, the found the son hat
