PREACHER SAYS
HELL real PLACE
CITES PARABLE OF DIVES AND
LAZARUS AS EXAMPLE TO
UNBELiEvERs.

With the parable of Dives and Laza-
rus as a text. Rev. John B. Andrews
at the Methodist church last night
spoke on the conditions which de-
termine destiny and Urged that it is
not what man possesses that de-
termines the question of where he
shall spend eternity, but what he is
and what he does.
The preacher used statements in the
scripture to show the reality of He'll

reject the claims of Christ as the Saw.
ior of the world. The fact that Dives
was rich and Lazarus poor weres not
the determining factors, he said, but
that one forgot God and was content
while in this life to enjoy the temper
al blessings which came to him, while
the other, in spite of his reverses and
adject poverty, was able to realize that
God was his father and that He had
claims upon the worship Of his soul.
The answer of Deity to the cry Of
the rich man in He'll, that there was
great gulf fixed between him and Laz.
arus and that his request that Lazarus
be sent to warn the five brethren who
had not past to the gate of time, was
used as an argument why men today
reject Christ. Unbelief being the basis
of such neglect, men will not be per-
mitted to garge the claim in eternity
that they were without warning. "If,"
said the preacher, they will not now
listen to and heed the gospel message
as 1t is presented to them through the
means God has ordained for its pro
mitigation, they would not hear or heed
though one rose from the dead"

life of Christian service.
Mr.. Andrews sermon at a mems
feeting Sunday afternoon at o'clock
will be on the subject, Chickens Come
Home to Roost."
Having announced that there would
be no Saturday services, Mr.. Andrews
urged the church officials and all those
who are helping in the meeting to do
everything possible to get men and
boys over fourteen years OF age to at
tend the mems meeting at 3 o'clock
Sunday afternoon.
At meeting of the officials of the
three Methodist churches with the
evangelist last night it was decided to
continue the services for another
week.

BEES ARE LITTLE TROUBLE
Honey Catherers Are Only Producers
to Industry Yielding Profit With.

(By WESLEY FORSTER Colorado State
Bee Inspector)
II people knew what great source
Of profit Is found in the keeping OF
bees and how interesting the work
there wouldn't be an unused square
foot OF ground on any farm in the
United States.
Bees are the only producers known
to husbandry that yield profit with
out cost Of feed. They find their
own pasture They multiply SO rap
idly that they more than pay for
the small initial expense OF housing
them, and the first cost OF equipment
is almost trifling.
Bee culture may be made profit
able by the children Of the farm, or
by the women members of the fam
fly. 1t may be carried on successfully
in conjunction with the keeping OF
poultry or growing OF fruit. In the
latter case, agriculture Is found to be
a great help toward more fruit and
better fruit.
Bees are little trouble and require
only occasional attention. They are
easily handled and readily controlled.
Best OF all, they give real service
in hard cash, and that counts most

HUMUS PUTS
LIFE IN THE SOIL
Helps Store Plant Food and Water.
The Key To Better Crops.
W. +. HANGER.

W. H. HANGER.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
We should be planning for the i'm.
proyement OF our poorer soils and the
keeping OF our better fields in high
productive condition. Nothing will
help more in this improvement than
filling the soil with humus or organic
matter by the use OF manure, turning
under green crops, or growing heavy
sod.
Let US see what this humus or
organic matter will do for the soil.
liumus improves the physical condi
ton OF the soil 1t makes ii lighter
or puts what We call life" into ii.
This makes it easier to work. Humus
acts like sponge IN holding soil
water, storing a great deal OF it AM
letting the balance run OF very slowly,
Humus also makes warmer soil since
soils containing ii are darker in color
and warmer just as dark SUIT OF
clothes is warmer to wear than a
lighter colored one,
This humus or organic matter also
furnishes food for IL, soil bacteria.
lheSe bacteria are what break up
plant food so it can be used by tAe
crop. They thrive best in soils having
plenty OF this organic matter The
hard bare spots on which nothing will
grow that we sometimes find in fields
lack humus and bacterial lite. The
decaying bacteria in the humus also
build up the nitrogen supply in the
soil
Besides storing up plant foods, the
numus by making this bacterial life
possible, causes soil acids to form.
These in turn free the plant food
locked up in the soil SO that the crops
use it. Since humus is so much need
ed in the soil, we are safe in saying
that before we can expect much of
crop of any kind from unproductive
land, we must provide organic matter
either in the form of stable manure or
Green manure crops.

Physical City Conferences.

Mankind is every day becoming
more cosmopolitan. and perhaps sig,
nificant indication of this is to be
seen in the number of congresses, both
national and international, that have
recently been held. In connection
with town planning and Its allied sub
iects there have been held this year
an international town planning con-
gress at Client, an international road
congress, an international housing
congress. and an international con.
gress of architects, and, in addition,
important congresses on housing and
town planning both In London and
several provincial towns held under
the auspices of the National Housing
Reform council. an important congress
In town planning held under the aus
pices of the engineers at Norwich, and
also a sanitary congress. This nation
al and international handshaking Is

to analyze the entire increment OF

Is no doubt that the cost OF good
roads is met by some form OF taxa

the land owners to add to the selling
price Of their land that amount which
they estimate the good road has cost
them in taxes.
This process Is more distinctly OBJ
served in city property transfers,
where direct assessments for sewers,
sidewalks, and pavements are invari-
ably added to the original cost OF the
property. The important point that Is
becoming more and more understood
by land owners is that good roads re.
quire considerable investment OF
capital. and furthermore that such an
investment Is a paying one. Here arc
few instances Of actual conditions
which have been observed In various
parts OF the country
In Lee county, Virginia, a farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur and
Jonesville. which he offered to sell
for $1,000. Two or three years ago
this road was improved. and although
that farmer fought the improvement
he has since refused $4,000 for his
farm Along this same road tract
OF 1873 acres was supposed to have
been sold for $4,000 The purchaser
