SOUL BUILDERS.

SOUL BUILDERS.
Souls are built as temples are;
Sunken deep, unseen, unknown,
Lies the sure foundation stone.
Then the courses framed to bear,
Lift the clustered pillars fair,
Last of all the airy spire,
Soaring heavenward higher and high
er.
Souls are built as temples are,
Here carving rich and quaint,
There the image of saint;
Here deep hued pane to tell,
Sacred touch or miracle,
Every careful, careless touch.
Adds to the little, mars the much.
Souls are built as temples are,
Inch by inch in gradua. rise,
Mounts the layered masonry:
Warning questions have their day,
Kings arise and pass away,
Still the temple is undone,
Still completion seems afar.
Souls are built as temples are,
Based on truths eternal law;
Sure and steadfast, without flaw,
Through the sunshine, through the
SHOWS,
Up and on the temple goes,
Every fair thing finds a place,
Every hard thing lends grace,
Every hand can make or mar,
For Souls are built IS temples are.

GARBAGE Reduction.

! DR.. w A. Evans in Chicago Trib-
une: The idea prevails generally
that when garbage is sorted over the
articles recovered will be of great
vaiue. AS matter of fact, the pick
ing over of rubbish scarcely pays the
expense Of picking even with the
market of a large city at hand and
where use Is made OF the cheapest la
| Dor. Tho picking over of garbage
does not pay. Bones and cans are
the only two objects it pays to go af-
ter.
The use of the reduction method
requires that garbage be kept separ-
ate. It generally means long haul.
The pure garbage is more offensive
than the mixtures commonly disposed
of by the Instructor method. This
method can make use of old and stale
garbage. Pig feeding requires fresh
garbage and thus indirectly, is fire..
quent service promoted Garbage re-
duction can make use of stale gar
bage, and thus. indirectly, is frequent
garbage collection promoted.
Those are the oniy disadvantages of
the method. 1t can be operated with
out odor and without nuisance. The
SOLUBLE odorous gases can be washed
out of the smoke and those thu
inscluble can be burned. It's great
advantage is that next to the pig feed
ing method it Is most economical
The greatest value in garbage is its
food value. That value Is distracted
by pig feeding. The next greatest
value is the fat and fertilizer value
That value is distracted by reduc-
ton. In the reduction method the
garbage is roasted to drive off the wa
ter The fat is then extracted by per
collation. with naptha and the residue
is dried and ground into fertilizer
stock. The grease is sold for soap
and allied processes and the fertiliz-
er stock is mixed with chemicals to
make different brands of commercial
fertilizer.
The Columbus, o., plant clears "a |
cents ton above all operation cost, |
cents depreciation, and per cent In
terest on the money invested The /
cost OF collection was 1910 a ton.
The 81 cents earning of the disposal
plant therefore reduced the cost of
collection to 1856 ton to the tax
payers.
Changes have been suggested
which would quadruple the net earn
ings on the disposal plant. In other
words, the disposal plant should make
enough on what it sells to pay for the
total cost of collection.
The plant at Cleveland is of an old
design, never of the best type and IN
duly costly to maintain, yet 1t always
earns a goodly sum to pay on the
cost of collection, and occasionally.
for short periods the earnings are
great enough to pay the entire cost of
collection
AS no city has enough money, as
the complaints of poor garbage col
lection service are constantly met
with the plea that there is not enough
money, no city of large size is justifi-
ed in foregoing the profits from gar
bage reduction. However, a garbage
reduction plant is expensive to buird.
It has seemed to me that somewhere
around 10000 inhabitants was the
proper dividing line. A city over that
size can afford to, and should, build

ESCAPING A SLOGAN

keokuk has been fortunate to date
in escaping all attempts to adopt a
slogan. indianapolis, we notice, has
Just rejected $4,000 suggestions for
one. This shows something of the
difficulties attendant upon such an
undertaking.
Slogan is Gaelic word pure and
simple. 1t has no root in the Ian
guage OF any other people. The mean

EXPRESSED than in Scott's story of the

WILL TURN LOGGED
0FFLAND TO ACCOUNT

In the Upper Valley. especially the
lower part, lying on the divide be-
tween the Dee communities and the
lower Parkdale district. are several
hundred acres Of logged off lands. The
blackberry briars and other underbrush
and plant growth thrive in these burnt
over logged off areas, and it is the
opinion Of c. r. Bone, of the Bone
borro Orchard Co.. which owns several
hunrded acres of this land, that it can
be turned to good account without the
expenditure of large sums for clearing.
Mr.. Bone is planning on sowing rye
and clover broadcast OH the land this
fall and of pasturing it next year. Al
though the tracts are not irrigated the
clover that has sprung up along the
rosdsides IN this deep soil grows luxur-
iantly until late summer.
The region grows wheat second to
none in the state. A tract sowed to
this grain adjoining the logged off land
bids fair, if it were allowed to come to
maturity, to produce more than 60
bushels to the acre. 1t is now being
harvested for hay.
Mr.. Bone thinks that the tracts al
ready cleared can be planted to hay to
make food for the winter months, while
the spring and summer food for large
herds would be secured from these
areas of logged off land.
The Boneboro Orchard Co., which
has more than 100 acres of young trees
planted in the deep led shot soil of this
district. is composed. in addition to Mr..
Bone, of Myron Bruner, formerly in
the real estate business here, but who
now resides in Rockford, Ill.,, V. C.
Brock and j. W. Mcdonald.
