STILL DOING \ RUSHING
BUSINESS.

With practically half the area of
our country marked dry on the
maps. how comes it that last years
sales of inebriating fluids. as officially
reported by Uncle Sam, were the
largest ever recorded and showed a
gain over the year before larger than
the gain in population?
The increase in beer drinking was
million barrels and in whisky and
brandy seven and half million gall
Ions. enough to treat" every inhabi-
tant a number of times. as well as to
give pa a souse
Perhaps a recent happening up in
rock-ribbed Maine affords one clue
Though theoretically dry. Port
land. in that state, has, as a matter
OF notorious fact. long been moist and
at times even wet. OF late its degree
Of alcoholic humidity has been so ex-
cessive as TO force Sheriff Scully to do
some high class sleuthing.
AS a result of earnest vigilance and
several exciting chases, he located
and dislocated an automatic express"
But the moistness continued.
Finally he fixed up a coast patrol.
1t wasn't though, until a luckless sail
ing vessel grounded in a gale and
lightered her cargo that the mystery
was explained. Piled on the beach
the sheriff's man found 1900 kegs and
mum Der OF boxes the contents
whereof were calculated TO cause the
judicious to grieve
Now, the folks who were in this
smuggling trade weren't as bad as
you might suppose. Some, OF course
were in for money, but a number just
for fun. The challenge of the pro-
hibitory law reused their spirit of
adventure. They sought the forbid
den fruit chiefly because it was for
| hidden.
No. we haven't solved the liquor
problem.

w nat IS thunder
Blow air into a perfectly tight
paper bag until it is full. Hold the
bag SO that none of the air can es-
cape and strike ii sharply and sud
denly. There will be, an explosion
like the crack Of a pistol.
That is what thunder Is!
The scientific explanation for it is
the expansion, compression and sud-
thing that happens to a cartridge shell
when you press the trigger of a gun
or pistol. In fact that is really a bet
ter explanation of thunder than the
paper bag experiment because it has
all the elements that cause thunder.
The spark caused by the cap causes
the ignition, Of the powder, forming a
gas which pushes the bullet out of the
barrel of the gun and when the gas
comes in contact with the air, it
makes a roaring. cracking sound try
ing to get through, because the pres
sure of the gas is greater than the air.
The thunder, therefore, is the result
of the lightning.
Now, whit is lightning?
We don't know. Nobody knows.
We know that it is electFicity-which
is another way Of saying we don't
know, because we don't know what
electricity is. But we do have a gen.
eral idea of what lightning does TO
make the thunder. There is electricity
in the air all the time. Sometimes
we feel 1t more than we do at others
or at least we are more conscious
Of it being there at one time than at
another This is due to the condition
OF the atmosphere. If a good breeze
is blowing and the mixture of water
and gas and dust that we call air is
kept stirring we don't feel the cleo
tricity much.
But II there is not much Of a breeze

from the city. cutting out the various
manipulatiOns and commissions?
OF course the average workingman
does not have enough cash money TO
buy a thousand dollar bond. So the
Johnson scheme called for the pur-
chase OF city bonds by a board or
committee or officials authorized BY
law TO deal with such matters. Every
Ohio town and county is authorized TO
select what they call a sinking fund
commission.
The Johnson scheme called for the
purchase of city bonds by the sink
ing fund commission OF some similar
body. In St. Paul it's a committee
composed OF the mayor, the city
treasurer and the city comptroller.
The commission holds the bonds
and issues certificates. which repre-
sent fractions OF each big bond. These
certificates sell In units Of $40 each.
They bear four per cent interest from
the minute they are purchased until
the minute they are redeemed. They
can be redeemed on demand-just like
a check on a bank. For instance,
person can purchase ten dollar Ger
tihcate today and then tomorrow get
his ten dollars back with interest at
four per cent for the "a hours the city
has had the use Of his money.
The attractive features TO the poor
man are that he can get his money
any time and that while the city has
his money il draws interest instantly
A chart in the office OF the St. Paul
sinking fund commission shows the
exact interest on 500 for every single
day. Smaller sums are figured the
same way.
The cost OF operating this scheme is
practically nothing. The bookkeeping
involved amounts TO very little and II

.LAYNEN'S MISSIONARY
 MOVEMENT CONVENTION LtYMENS MlSSiONAP" CONVEN- TON IN MEMPHlS WILL AT
 TRACT THOUSANDS.
MANY PROMINENT SPEAKERS
City of Memphis is Making Great Pre- paratons to Entertain Visitors
 to Laymen's Convention.

Memphis, Tenn. February H. Special )-The reports that are com ing in to the local committees indi- cate a record attendance at the Lay mems Convention to be held in this city February 1920, 1913.
 Memphis is making great prepara- tions for this gathering of the lay men from all over the South. Repre- sentatives will come from as far east as Baltimore, and as far west as New Mexico. It is expected that the con vention auditorium will be taxed to it's utmost capacity. To provide for the crowds expected and for the benefit ol friends in Memphis auxiliary meet ings will be held in a church just across the street each evening.
 The Laymen's Movement.
 It will be recalled that this move ment began in prayer meeting of business men in New York City on November 16, 1906. It is a movement of the business men of all Protestant churches, who realize that it is the whole business of the whole church to preach the whole gospel to the whole world, and who have banded themselves together to accomplish this task in our generation. It is not a new missionary society nor does it send out missionaries. It collects no funds and administers none. It Is a movement to enlist the farmer, the business and professional man--the money makers-in the mis sionary campaign by arousing their interest and directing their energies their prayers, gifts and services to the evangelization of the world And this it aims to do through the regu- larly established agencies of the church.
 It seeks to gain for the kingdom that ability and acumen, which have made this country to roll in wealth in order that the Kings business may be progressively and adequately conducted to completion.
 The officers of the Southern Pres byteran branch of the movement are:
 Mr. Charles A. Rowland Athens Ga, chairman; Br. H. w. Malloy, Go lumbia s. C., vice chairman; Dr. NJ
 Nell Hull, Atlanta, Ga, recordine secretary: MT. H. H. Linton, Athens Ga. treasurer.
 The conventions of the movement have been marked by great power in the past and the present convention Is expected to be no exception.
 Many Distinguished Men. Seldom have so many prominen' men been gathered together as vii, appear at this convention. A number of special features have been arrang ed as will appear below:
