Truly, the words of the Hebrew prophets are coming to pass; "lhe wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them .the world of mankind; and the desert shall i rejoice. and blossom as the rose'
 "Tben the eyes of the blind shall be opened. and the ears of the deal shall be unstopped; then shall the lame man leap as a deer, ana the tongue of the dumb shall sing; Tor in the wilderness shall waters break out, and the streams Tn the desert" There shall be showers of blessing .,. and the earth shall yield her increase. Isaiah 35:l-6: Ezek. 3l;26, 2.
 1 Everywhere the earth IS being made more beautiful, The people seem moved by a common impulse to beautify their homes, cities and countrysides. The magnificent pub lie buildings. the stately conner cial and financial palaces, the splendid parks, driveways and rec reation places adorned with statues, fountains, trees and flowers, are gradually transforming the earth into a paradise. Medical and sur gical discoveries and developments are accomplishing miracles in the way of healing and benefiting the people; while inventions and i'm provements of all kinds are enab- ling them to enjoy the blessings and beauties of nature as never before. The original curse which came up on men and the earth because of disobedience Genesis 3:l7-t9) is surely being removed. The arduous toll and labor of those engaged in agricultural pursuits is being dis pensed with by the use of motors and machines, while the earth, in- stead of bringing forth briars, thorns. missiles and weeds, is pro- ducing fruits, flowers and cereals in ever-increasing perfection and abundance.
 All can realize the glorious pos abilities before the race when all the earth shall be like the Garden of Eden, a vast and beautiful park; and when all will be dwelling to- gether in unity and brOtherly love-
 Let every man prepare himself for the ideal conditions by lifting up his head with renewed courage, and joining with his neighbor in .cultivating a better spirit of kind ness and good will. and brighter and happier world will soon ex- .perience the benign influences ema- hating from the Sun of righteous ness that shall arise with healing in its beams The Divine Creator the Sovereign Lord of All. is even now OVerruling the affairs of earth preparatory to the establishment of His own righteous authority. and then all will recognize the excel fence of the principles of justice. kindness and love. in contrast with the present prevailing disposition .ot selfishness, greed and graft. What doth the Lord thy God re- quire of thee. but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humblv with. thy God?"-Micah 6:S.

 Man knoms
By Herbert Kaufman.
m Woman's Homo Companion.

l From W oman Home COmpanlOn.
 There is a word at which all true men strike for the sanctity of motherhood.
 Every boy knows it's import and rises in arms at the epithet.
 And it is a good thing to have it so.
 The son who will not battle for the name he bears is a coward and cad.
 From youth onward the male un- derstands the holiness of woman's virtue.
 It is an entail, heritage impreg- mated in his blood.
 Every man knows what it is when a woman goes wrong.
 Every man knows the ultimate cost of her sin.
 Every man knows the hopeless ness of her tomorrows.
 Every man knows the shame and degradation of the aftermath; {; therefore you cannot plead age nor ignorance in eXtenuation of your crime.
 If you were old enough to wreck a life, you were old enough to realize the consequences for the girl.
 Even in your earliest teens you saw the opprobrium heaped upon the Little Sisters of Sin.
 When you wrecked her life you could not for one instant dismiss the picture of her punishment.
 You are unclean, defiled, a cur and a sneak.
 And yet you wear the badge of responsibility and dare to hold your head high in a decent community.
 You're a masquerader, an inter- loper in honorable society.
 The stain is on you. The years can't wipe it from your conscience. Hell must eXist-your existence de- mands it.
 There is mercy for her, but God will never hear your prayers.
 She was reckless. Caution only comes through experience, and it was too late when knowledge came to her.
 You swore that you loved her, but you lied, for men who love reverence and protect. They do not degrade.
 WHERE IS SHE TONIGHT?
 A million outcasts are sinking in the shadows. pacing the pavements painted ghosts of women who were" nameless things-scourged by want-hungry for happiness.
 She is there among them-a joy less shell, price marked and vice marked, without a friend, beyond the barriers locked without the gate through which none may re- turn.
 But you'll pay, too. Her memory will never fade.
 Throughout the years conscience will gnaw at your heart and on the day of judgment the Master will avenge.
 You can't replace-you can't re- trace-yOu can't erase the past. You cannot expiate.
 Plan as you will, rise as you may, climb as high as ambition can drive you, peace can never be your lot.
 And one supreme torture awaits you-when you look into the faces of your children and know that you are unworthy of their respect.

Fair viii Be Widely Advertised,

Every resident of the state of Wis
consin will be made familiar with the
merits of the state fair to be held in
Milwaukee on September to Is, by
means of the thorough and effective
publicity campaign outlined by Sec
rotary J.. C. Mckenzie of the board
of agriculture. Mr.. Mackenzie spent
two days negotiating contracts for the
various lines of outdoor and speciality
advertising of the Badger state ex-
position.
IF any resident of Wisconsin does
not attend the fair this year it will
not be because he does not know
about 1t or is not familiar with its fea-
lures and benefits We mean to make
the public familiar with the splendid
situation. We are spending more
money and are better organized for
carrying the good word to the peo
pie"
Newspaper publicity will receive
far more attention this year. The
board showed its increased apprecia.
ton of the assistance of the newspa-
pers by increasing the appropriation
Cor that purpose materially.

Season Good for Bass.

Superintendent James Nevin of the
state fisheries commission said tho
hatch of bassfry under natural condi-
tons in Wisconsin this season has
unusually good, and the indications
were that lakes and streams would af-
ford better bass fishing in three
or four years than they have for some
years.
Superintendent Nevin said some
fear was felt during the cool weather
in early June, when the temperature
OF the water dropped more than IL
degrees, that the bass eggs would be
killed. but they were not. and the hot
weather that followed caused much
larger percentage of eggs to hatch
than was usual.
The number of bassf1y Matched in
the state hatcheries was considerably
larger than in former years, which
will also help to restock the lakes and
streams of the state.

A Clever Dog.

One of the quaintest little spectacles
of the streets of Paris is to see the
legless cripple in the Place de la Made
leine leave his post at eight o'clock
in the evening. Regularly at that time
a large dog comes along the boulevard
and runs up to the cripple, wagging
on a little low platform mounted ON
wheels. The cripple then takes a
string and leather harness out of his
pocket and passes 1t over the dog
head. Go on, Bayard," he cries, and
the dog lows him home along the
crowded boulevard.

His PrediCament
1t Made Him Ill, but He
Came Out All
Right
BY F. A. mitchell

When Philip Newton was Of that age
in which a young mans fancy turns to
love an uncle of his died and left him
500, 900. Phil was an unsteady chap.
and his uncle in order to settle him at
tached Il provision to his inheritance
that his nephew should be married be-
fore the property could be his. The
young man was to have it on coming
of age, but he must be married, and if
he were not married it was to go to
charity.
At the time of his uncle's death Phil
was twenty years and six months old.
He was very much pleased at the for
tunate turn in his affairs and consid-
cred the inheritance perfectly safe. He
had no best girl, but he deemed the
getting one very easy, especially since
the lady was to share with him $1,000
a year, which would make any reason
able woman very comfortable. He
knew a number of young women who
would be eligible. and all he had to do
was to make up his mind which m he
wanted and ask her. If she didn't want
him he would ask the next best, and so
on till he got a wife. Since he was not
in love he could see no complication in
that respect. and since he didn't know
Of any girls being in love with him no
M would be disappointed.
why, it's dead easy" he said to a
friend.
MY advice" replied the friend, lis
to get at it at once. Girls are freaky.
If you should get n who at the last
moment would leave you in the lurch
you might lose your fortune"
This sobered Phil, and he resolved to
make a list of girls he knew and pro-
coed to business at once But it &C.
Cured to him that girls usually didn't
like lovemaking in a business way and
were liable to desire a little counting.
Indeed. come to think of it, he didn't
like that way OF doing it himself.
However. he made his list. which caus-
ed him no trouble at all. But when he
began the arrangement of the names in
order of his desires he found it very
