CHURCH CONTRIBUTIONS Now
No one Thinks Of Putting Less Ihan
Five Cents In the Plate NOW"
Day of the Penny Gone.

Graytop, everything. You taAe' ~.

Nowadays the minimum, the smali-
est amount that we could put IN VI
that we'd want 10 put In would %
five cents, a nickel, wouldn't H'
Surely: no matter who 1t was, NOBODY
would think of putting in less than
nickel now; but in. my younger days.
before the war, the standard con'rf
hutton of the run Of respectable per
sons of moderate means was one cent
a penny; and the contribution plate
was commonly called the penny plate.
an those days. just the same as
now. the plates were passed by oea'
cons or other officers Of the churcn,
one To each aisle. OF course We had
then. iust as We do now, some In the
church who had more money than otn-
ers and these would put In more
half-dime or q dime or a quarter OF
a half-dollar, and sometimes some
body woald put In a bill, but silver
coins were not over numerous ana
bills were rare.
Our folks were not rich, as mat
ter of fact we had no money except
what my father earned, but though
we were not rich We were self-respect
ing, God-fearing people and We always
went to church and the children went
to Sunday school. We had In our
church quite q number Of people COM
fortably we'll OF and two or three who
were In those days called rich, BIT
there were more people like US.
"Of course we contributed some
thing more than pennies to the sup
port Of the church, We paid our pew
rent at the fixed price and occasion
ally there were special calls when We
contributed more, whatever we could
afford or thought we ought to give,
but our standard, regular contribu
lions on Sundays were in pennies. we
children took each penny to Sun
day school. When the plate was
passed in church we put pennies In
that.
AS we grew older our father would
give more than one Of US pennies to
put in the plate and then there was
q larger contribution from our pew
but still In those days our church con.
tribution, as l am trying to set forth,
was in pennies"

ORIGIN OF "cATcH MY PAL"
Witty Irish Orator. Rev. Robert J..
Patterson, Persuaded Twelve Hard
Drinkers to Sign Pledge.

"Catch-my.Pal" is the unique name
OF q remarkable temperance move
ment which has been working won
derfuls transformation In the North
of Ireland during the last six months.
It was originated by Rev. Robert J.
Patterson OF Armagh. who Is .
shrewd and witty Irish orator.
One day last July this clergyman
persuaded twelve hard drinkers In the
city Of Armagh to sign the pledge.
Before parting with them. he said:
Now perhaps each Of you could
bring a pal to my house tomorrow
and induce him to sign"
81 think | can catch my pal" said
one of the men. and that was the
origin OF the Catch My Pal" move
ment now sweeping over the North
of Ireland.
Scarcely town or village In Ulster
is without an enthusiastic band OF
members each of whom wears an
enamelled brass button bearing the
words. Catch My Pal Union. me
public houses In many Of the provin-
cial manufacturing towns have lost
fully so per cent. Of their trade VI
the 5000 inhabitants OF Cookstown,
County Tyrone. over seven hundred
men Joined the union in November
and December. and the percentage IL
equally great In other towns.
Missionaries have been sent ALREADY
to the West of Scotland. and the
movement has already taken strong
root even in Glasgow. In the latter
city the originator inaugurated the
movement himself at great SUNDAY
afternoon meeting. At the close OF
his address two hundred men gather
ed round him and. with uplifted arm
recited the pledge after him, and tnen'
with closed fist and determined voice
Nil declared: I'VE will see this thing
through"

RESTRICT SALE OF ALCOHOL
Suggestion 10 Advocated That It's
Sale be Restricted as That OF
Poisonous Strychnine.

Facts of physiology are against H.
coholic liquors. A single injection IN
to the stomach causes the pepsin 70
precipitate. and at once arrests diges-
ton. 1t absorbs water from the hv-
ing tissues so rapidly as to dry ana
harden them; It contracts the liver;
1t unhealthy increases the pulsatlohs
of the heart: 1t renders the subject
liable to epidemic diseases.
Physiology describes alcohol as an
irritant, blistering the living tissues;
an astringent, contracting and harden
ing the parts which 1t touches; q
solvent. destroying the vital tissues;
q narcotic, often producing the last
long sleep. Alcohol is needed, no
doubt, for some mechanical and me-
dicinal purposes. SO is strychnine.
Let the sale OF the one be as care
fully restricted as that OF the other.

They were to receive the same wages

The work lasted from spring until

The third, who was a teetotaler, had
$3.50. The first and second wore very
seedy clothes. and were In debt. fne
third had good suit and no debts.
The relations OF capital and labor In
this country are confessedly strained.
The lot of the working people Is nard:
but whisky comes in as disturbing
element to increase the hardship. II

THE housefly causes 100000 deaths

FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING

In the opinion Of /. L. Diesem,
president Of the state board Of agri-
culture. the small farmers Of Kansas
are making more money and building
better homes than are those who till
large acreage. TOO many farmers, /"
Mr. Diesem said. ARE trying to see
how many acres they can farm in
stead Of trying to see how much they
can produce profitaIbly per acre.
Diversified farming Is the thing"
Mr. Diesem continued. IA man who
has nothing in cultivation but wheat.
OF corn. Is confronted by failure on
account Of dry weather. or hail. or
flocd, but the man with a diversified
farm can bank on a profitable Yield
OF something. His crops come In at
different times. and diaster can not
possibly overtake an Of them.
The small farmer. in addition to
his field crops, will grow garden stuff
and fruit. milk from three to haK a
dozen COWS. and keep a lot Of chick
ems, the returns from which will sup
port the family. The large wheat or
corn grower often neglects these
small items that are such heavy mon.

KANSAS FARMERS COULD
MAKE MORE MILLIONS

The county .ifma's' instiuI"s are
taking deep interest in L. state
wide conference Of Kansas farme:
70 be held in the fall. T. A. Hubtaid
OF Wellington, a member Of the state
board Of agriculture, who has been
engaged in institute work for twen-
ty years, hopes to have every county
organization In the state represented
by at least two delegates.
The mission Of the institute is to
demonstrate the value Of scientific
and intensive farming, Mr.. Hubbard
said, land while our work IS progress
ing steadily. We need the encourage
ment Of revival. such as we will
get In the proposed convention. We
OF Kansas lead IN wheat. corn, alfalfa
live stock and many other things, but
We neglect products that could be
made worth millions Of dollars to the
state. 20
Dairy products. for instance, could
easily be doubled. There Is every
reason to believe that the dairy In
dustry in Kansas could be made as
important as the citrus fruit indus
try in California. The big dairy bus
mess in Kansas will take care Of IT.
self, but the little business is in need
Of development. l notice that the
Santa Fe railroad has established as
an experiment a freight service On tie
main line to handle the small dairy
business-the few cans that can be
picked up at every station. This sub
ject should be discussed at the con-
ference. 81.
The conference also should inyes-
tigate the systems in operation in
states which are famous for fruit and
garden truck. Kansas can grow good
fruit and high grade vegetables by
the train load, but for some reason
