Why He Attends Church

It is said that Hon. Claude Weaver. one of Oklahoma: congressman, attends church regularly in Washington, ol wherever he may happen to be on Sunday, and recites the fol lowing impressions gained from this chuBch-going habit: r&
 It is sweet, on a summers morning when the air is aqulvel with the love songs of birds, and fragrant with the odor of roses blown, to hear the music of the church-going bells, an invitation to the world-wearied to enter Gods Temple and find peace, because the instinct of worship is in the heart of man, and the church is the temple of the living God.
 T go to church because l hnd peace there, that peace which De Quincy described as resting from human fabors, a Sabbath of repose, a respite granted from the secret burdens of the heart, as if I stood at a distance and aloof from the uproar of life. as if the tumult and fever of strife were suspended, as if there brooded over me a dove-like and halcyon calm.
 II 20 to church because l love the music that hear there, the mighty roll of the great organ, mingled with marvellous sym phonies of that divine stringed instrument, the human voice, untwisting all the chains that tie the hidden soul of harmony.
 ''I go to church because l de- light to hear the teachings of the preacher. whose soul is dedl- cated to God. whose field IS as wide as Gods universe, whose theme is the destiny of man, and whose words are oracles of faith. Marvellous is the spell of the preacher, to whom God has given genius and conservation, and the power of illustration drawn from the old, sacred, im- mortal book, and from the mir acles of nature, no less revealed in the crimson-tipped flower turned up by the plowshare of Ropert Burns upon the soil of Ayr, than in the long reaches of the star-girt skies.
 ''I go to church because the way is dark and 1 am far from home, and the church is the polar star to light my pathway in the rayless night. y

imagination in DreamIand.

< A man who awake is most pr0saic whose mind is commonplace, who Is utterly unable to invent story or write drama. will asleep have the most astonishing flights of imagina, tion. He imagines a story. He peoples it with players, men, woIss1 and animals, and each one of them- even the animals ut times speaks his part as perfectly as if he actually were alive.

What He would Do.

Watching him for some time she asked him: Willie, if that chicken were to lay an egg what would you do with it?' He locked ID surprised. then said: "Oh, I'd sell 1t to a museum That chickens roo-'s er."

Newspapers are the best ad-
vertising meailini in the world Of
commerce, in the opinion Of Prof..
J. v. Breitwieser of Colorado
College, who addressed the re-
tail merchants of the chamber
of commerce on the subject,
THE Psychology of Advertis-
ing" He classed the street
car advertising, posters, pro-
grams and other sporadic forms
of publicity as useful only for
special purposes and temporary
results in some cases., Attention
was called to the immense sums
wasted every year in the United
States on ineffective advertising
and Of the tremendous results
secured on the other hand from
skillful newspaper publicity.
Advertising is being organized
in a definite way to prevent
waste" he said. 1T has been
estimated that the waste which
could be saved by scientific adj
|.vertising amounts to from l5s to
is per cent, which means that
200, 600, 600 is being spent every
year uselessly. The American
people have the advertisement
reading habit. You can't simply
say things in a dry-bones fashion
and expect people to read the ad.
You should never display the re-
polling things; an optimistic tore
brings a positive reaction. The
advertisement poorly written re-
pels just as a dingy, crowded
store. Tests have determined
what proportions in space bring
the best results"

There are no orphans in Aus
tralia, not because parents never
die there, but because when
they do the state at once goes to
the rescue Of the little ones.
Children who have been robbed
of their parents by death are
practically adopted by the gov
ernment, states the New York
Press. Unless some near relative
manifests a desire to assume the
responsibility and can demon
strate his ability to do so, the
child is committed to the child
|ren's council, which selects
homes among the farmers of the
country. These foster homes
are examined closely, and often
two or three are tried before one
lis found in which the child finds
|congeniaI surroundings. After
10 the state feels that its ward
should earn more than board and
lodging. At that age, therefore,
he is hired out, usually, however,
! to the foster parents who have
! taken care of him. Three fourths
Iof his wages are deposited in
savings banks, the remainder is
his. When he becomes of age,
or if he wishes money in order to
learn a trade or to attend a more
advanced school-or in the case
Iof a girl, when she wishes to
marry-the savings are turned
over to the ward.

A woman contributor to Farm
and Fireside tells how farm wom-
en- overwork both because Of the
necessary work that is forced
upon them and the unnecessary
work that they are foolish enough
to assume. L wonder if you
ever thought how much unnec-
cessary drudgery many farm
women go through in regard to
cooking? Farm women sin far
more grievously than do town
women in this respect. | have
sat down to country meals at
which there were two kinds OF
meat, gravy, five vegetables,
three varieties Of pickles, eggs,
bread and butter, hot biscuit,
three or more varieties Of jelly or
preserves, two kinds Of cake be-
sides cookies and tea and coffee.
Such a great variety at one meal
is worse than unnecessary. The
important things to see to are
that the meal presents a balanced
ration, that the amount OF food
is sufficient and that it is well
cooked and served. The farmer
has long been accustomed to CIV
ing his stock a balanced ration,
but probably has never thought
|of the desirability of the same
sort of thing for himself
With the compulsory system OF
education in practice for thirty
five years in Japan illiteracy has
been fast decreasing and the
people now enjoy reading as they
never did before. In this matter
Japan probably leads the nations
in the Orient. To-day there are
some 800 dailies, weeklies and
monthlies published in this is
land Empire" Some metropcl.
titan dailies issue more than
100000 copies per single issue,
and newspapers may now DC
found in the homes of humble
farmers in remote villages. Mex
to papers, the most popular. form
of reading matter is the Love!
but foreign novels. however, are
not in vogue at present, as the,
were a decade ago. The average
reader seems to appreciate thu
scenes. of the homeland more
than those laid in foreign coun
tries.

LIVES IN FOUR CENTURIES
New York World.)

|
1t is not often that the span of three
lives stretches into four centuries, but
Mrs. Martha Lawrence, who recently
died in Warren county, KY, was the
granddaughter of man who was born
in 1884 Moreover, her father was the
first white child born in Kentucky.
Michael Goodnight probably Gut
nacht in the original GERMANY, born in
Germany in 1894, emigrated to Virginia
in 1908. He married early, and one OF
his sons was present with George
Washington and Daniel Boone at Brad
cocks defeat. He removed subsequent
ly to North Carolina, where he became
many years later an ardent supporter
of the Revolution, in which several of
his sons fought. His first wife dying,
he remarked in his old age When he
was past 80 he penetrated the Ken
lucky wilderness on an exploring ex-
petition with 80 men under the cele-
brated borderer, James Harold. He
returned to North Carolina for his
family, intending to bring them to
Harrodsburg, which others of the par
ty had chosen as the site for the first
settlement in Kentucky.
But when they were within a days
journey of the fort they were attacked
by Indians at midnight of September
l, 1775. Michael Goodnight and most
of the party were killed, but some es-
capped in the darkness. Among them
was Mrs. Goodnight, whom men from
the fort found two days later lying un-
conscious in the woods.
Four months later a son, the first
native of Kentucky, was born to Mrs.
Goodnight at Harrodsburg, and was
named Isaac. He was of great vigor
and courage, and while yet boy he
became one Of the most famous Indian
fighters in Kentucky. He lived to be
SO years old, surviving the civil war
lOuT years (dlllOuSh al eIdeI DIoIneI
had fought in the French and Indian
war more than century earlier), was
married five times and became the
father of q children. His last surviv-
ing child, Mrs. Lawrence, who has
just died, was 70 years old, and left
several great-grandchildren.
The fifth wife of Isaac Goodnight,
the man who was born the year the
cannon were laundering at Bunkers
Hill, has been dead only few years.
One descendant of his recently repre-
sented the Third Congressional dis
trict of Kentucky.

NO MAN TOO GOOD TO WORK
(From the Troy Standard Press.)

tFrom the Troy Standard Press.)
A newspaper writer who says he was
walking abroad at sun-up in little
Eastern own relates that he noticed 4
gray-haired man, neatly attired and
wearing gold-bowed spectacles, polish
ing the plate glass windows and rub
hing UP the sign on building which
told that a national bank did business
there. The incongruity of the man and
the work caused inquiry and the dis
cover that the president of the bank
was also the janitor.
Fe has been cleaning the windows
and sidewalks every morning since the
bank started, five years ago, and when
the directors passed a resolution to en-
ploy a janitor he demonstrated against
such extravaganza and protested that
he proposed TO do the work as long as
he held the Office He had the resolu-
ton quickly rescinded and has neve:
missed day at his early morning JOB.
This man is something of pluto
crat, according to the standard of the
community, having at least 100000
stored away. Yet he works just like q
common man. And the world marvels.
But why? Cleaning windows and say
ing pennies is a fad with this rich man.
He gets his recreation and enjoyment
in it. Who can say that it is not sensi-
BILE and as harmless as running an au-
tomobile, for instance. or sailing a
yacht or playing golf?
A man with 100000 stored away can
afford to give his time to labor Of lit
tie profit. The foolish world may laugh
OF him. If it will, but the genuine laugh
belongs to him who. in spite of $780,
900, can find satisfaction in health-giy-
ing work.
We are all at heart a set of silly
snobs who really have no proper re-
spect for manual labor. and SO regard

THE SOARING COST OF BEEF
New Orleans Item.)

During the last two weeks the price
of beef cattle has risen go cents d
hundred weight and touched 1920, the
highest record for the year. Such a
cost makes the price of the working
mans roast or steak prohibitive. AS
beef is necessary to the welfare Of
those persons who do hard manual la
Dor some measure of relief is neces-
sary, and tariff changes seem to afford
the readiest means of combating +hC
existing scarcity.
1t is obvious that cattle growing in
the United States is rapidly declining
industry, and the supply raised on
American soil is insufficient to feed the
population of the country. American
packers have anticipated this state O.
things, and they are now operating eY
tensively in the Argentine Republic,
where the climate and other conditions
are suited to raising and fattening cat
tie, but the complaint is made that they
are monopolizing that field.
The senate, therefore, did well when
it abandoned the idea of imposing q
counteryailing duty on cattle ana
dressed. beef and decided to transfer
the same to the free list. Under a
counteryailing duty cattle would come
in free from only such countries as
admit American cattle free. That
would prevent the free entry to this
country of live stock from Canada and
the Argentine Republic. Nothing would
be gained by this exclusion, for the
United States has no cattle to be ex-
ported. hence it is plain that cattl2
should be on the free list, with no re-
strictions save needed regulations to
prevent the importation of diseased
animals
