Getting Together
BY EBERT HUBBARD.

! Copyright 1912, International News
Seryice.)
In the year 1898 there was organiz-
! ed at Austin, Texas. a society known
as The Jovians." II was simply
a local organization of men who were
engaged In the business Of Harvesting
electricity.
The particular excuse for founding
the society was to entertain a con-
venuon of manufacturers and Jobbers
that was to meet In Austin.
The charter membership was for
ty-four. These men were more or
less in competition with one another,
but they said: For the time we will
sink our prejudices and fears of one
another and get together and take
care Of the visitors"
And so when the men got together
and looked into one another's faces
and laughed and joked. they really
liked one another first-rate, and they
discovered that. although men may
be In competition with one another
yet II they are working in the same
line of business, there Is something
which they have in common that
makes for respect and confidence Is
pecially Is 1t true that after you have
played with a man you cannot go
away anu lie ABOUT HlEl nor GeIanle
him.
And. 10! there were other Jovian
societies founded in the immediate
vicinity. Wherever there was a cen.
trail power plant 1t was suggested
that there should be an association
of the Jovians. And so the idea has
gradually spread until the Jovians
now number in the United States over
eight thousand members.
Any man engaged In the business
of generating electricity, selling the
current. contracting, constructing, or
dealing in electric supplies, Is ELI
gible.
The motto Of the Jovians Is. "AIi
together. all the time, for everything
electrical"
The order of Jovians Is purely So
cial, but there II no doubt that every
member is inspired to a little better
work and In q little bigger and more
generous way than ever before. He
gets rid Of his whims. his pretudices,
his fears and his doubts.
Good-fellowship Is an asset; also.
It is ar education. The Jovians are
essentially Democratic.

ATTENTION. BROTHER HART,

Editor Hart of the Farmville Herald Is cor
daily invited to give attention to the following
from the Charleston Netcs and Courier:
Buried in the news dispatches recently was
the statement that minister in Syracuse n
y, had forsaken his calling and gone to work
as wood hnisher 'ecause he could not prop
ery support his four children by preaching -
cannot support their children on the beggarIy
salaries paid to them. but they cling to their
high duty nevertheless. sacrificing too often
their families we'll themselves Because
a man has consecrated himself to the service
of his God. promising his life to the aid of his
fellow men In the time of their prosperity and
in the time of their need. s no reason why
he should be expected to live on the crumbs Of
charity. If minister Is not worthy of his hire
then no man is.
Brother Hart Is OF the opinion that ministers
receive as much as the average member of
their congregation, but here is one minister
who did not. There are many who could make
larger income at some other profession. We
have heard some ministers who would make
less at some other calling If they could do
nothing else better than they can preach, but
they are few. There is scarcely noted min
lister of the gospel in the country who would
not be rich now had he turned to the law or
medicine in his youth. The exceptions are
too few to take into consideration.

During the week w. G. Gilbreath,
commissioner of agriculture and Ia
Dor, has received two letters from
land agencies that are seeking no.
900 acres of North Dakota land for
colonization purposes. .
N. B. FELTON, of Grand Forks has a
party who wants to buy from ten to

for colonization purposes, and would
consider 0 $1,000 acres if the land was

The Bickford Land and Loan Com

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
PuRishmonts That Are Melted Out 70
British Sailors.

P0eishments That Are Melted Out 70
British Sailors.
For i~nfraction Of regulations some
curious punishments are meted out in
the English navy. 1t is an every day
occurrence. says the London Tit-Bits,
to see half a dozen sailors lined up on
deck facing the paint work, holding
their hammOcks on their shoulders. At
drst the hammock isn't heavy, but aft
er an hour or SO it drags on ones
shoulders like lead. Besides, it is not
at all entertaining to stare f1xedly at q
square foot of painted woodwork for
q hour Or more At q time:
Another punishment that Jack de.
spises is battling with a spoon. He is
placed upon the deck, with two large
wooden buckets, one filed with watet
and the other empty. With dspoon he
must dip all the water from n buck
Ct and transfer it to the other, being
meanwhile the butt Of his comrades
jests and jeers.
Sometimes a delinquent is made to
walk slowly backward and forward
along the deck. nursing In his arms a
six inch p~rojectile, weighing q little
over 100 pounds. Once a sailor VINO
laughed at the stammering speech or
his commander was made to stand
upon the forebridge in full view OF the
ships crew and laugh for an hour and
q half.
Splitting upon the deck Of 9 man-of-
war is strictly prohibited. Cuspidors
are placed at intervals along the deck
and these must be used. Upon some
ships when a sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck a small tub Is strapped
% his chest, and he is made to wear i.
Any one who chooses may use TINS
walking receptacle. The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his ohense.
