NATURAL BORN FIGHTING MAN

Winston Churchill, FIRST lord of the
British admiralty, has all the stamp OF
genius and high daring, and has
crowded more into his forty years
than any man of his day. He has
been through five wars; he has writ.
ten seven books. one Of them being
the biography Of his father. which
ranks among the first haIf-dozen In
the English language: he was FIRST

He has iourneyed In inost parts OF the

must be called genius combines the

ID RESUME TALK 0F WATER POWER BILL Underwood Opposed to It. White Watches for
 Adjournment

Washington, July 27.-tSpecial ) Discussion of the water power bill is likely to be resumed in the House to- morrow. The Sherley amendment Is being stubbornly opposed by Represen- tative Underwood of Alabama, wko in- sists that if adopted capitalists can not be induced to risk their money in the development of power plants. The vote on the Sherley amendment cannot yet be accurately forecasted, but the indications seem to point to its de- feat.
 In the House today Representative Heflin made another speech on the sub ject of dealing cotton futures. The con ference report on the Lever bill was being considered. MT. Heflin says this bill is not all he could wish, but it is a step in the right direction, accord : ing to his way of looking at the ques- tion, and he thinks that at some fu- ture date Congress will legislate fur ther for the regulation of interstate business in futures.
 Senator White of Alabama has been trying to figure on when Congress is apt to adjourn He has not been able to find out just when the session will be brought to a close, but hopes that business will wind up by September l. so that the national legislators can get away.

Bishops Try Heresy Case

London. July 27.-Fourteen bishops of the Anglican church. representing churches in Great Britain and the colo nies. met today at Lambeth palace to reach a settlement of the heresy case known as the kikuyu case. The Arch bishop of Canterbury presided. The IA representative from America failed to arrive. Charges were brought some months ago by the Bishop of Zanzibar against the missionary Bishops of Ugan- da and Mobasa for administering com munion to nonconformists The contro- versy is largely of church discipline, but 1t involves also the serious question of high and low church. The low churchmen defend the African bishops, while the high church party says such communion Is impossible because of the differences in doctrine. The final decisions of the bishops will be announced by the Arch bishop of Canterbury

THE CASH VALUE OF EDUCA.
TION.

The best way to illustrate the
cash value of an education is by
a simple process of arithmetic.
You can easily obtain the value
Of the time spent at school BY
.subtracting the earnings of life
Of UNEDUCATED labor from
the earnings of a life of EDU-
GATED labor. If All UNEDU-
GATED man earns one dollar
and fifty cents a day for three
hundred days in the year, he does
very well indeed, and if he keeps
1t up for forty years he will earn
Sl.50x3ooX4O, Or stS,0Oo.Oo.
An educated man usually works
',y the month or year. One thou-
:and dollars a year is low aver
age for the earnings Of educated
labor. lf the educated man works
for forty years then you have
st,0ooX4o, or $40, 600 rs the
earnings of the educated man. By
subtracting $4,000 from S4o,- :
900 you will obtain S22, 900
which must represent the value If
the time spent at school getting
All education. What then is the
ash value of each day spent at
school? Suppose il takes child
eleven years, counting 200 school
lays per year, to obtain a suffi-
cient amount of education to
olace him in the 81 900 per year
class, making a total Of q, 200
lays spent at school. A simple di-
vision. namely-S22,ooO divided
by 2.2oO win give TEN DOL
LARS per day for the days spent
in the school rooms. DOES

SUCCESS.

that has not been glorified By

SAILING
OR DRIFTING
WHICH?

There arc two kinds of men in
the world; those who sail and
those who drift; those wto choose
the ports to which they will go,
and skilfulIy and boldly shape
their course across the seas with
the wind or against il, and those
who let The winds and tides carry
them where they will. The men
who sail, in due time arrive; those
who drift, often cover greater dis
tanceS and face far greater perils,
but they never make port. The
men wiIc sail know where ti,e.
want to go and what they want TO
do. They do not wait on luck, or
fortune or favorable currents !;
they depend on themselves, and
expect no help from circum.
stances. Success of the real kind
is always in the man who wins it.
not in conditions. No man be-
comes great by accident; grca,
things are never done BY chance;
a man gets what he pays form
character, in work, ard in energy.
a hoy would better put luck OH

rlish anything There are few
really fine things which he cannot

they will not pay the price of The

ing to work. hard enough, TO pre-.
pare thoroughly enough. To put
themselves heartily into what tllcl.
are doing. The only road. to al.
vanCenent is 10 DO work so well
that you are always ahead of The
demands of your position. Keep
ahead of your work, and your
work will push your fortunes for
you, Our employers do not decide
whether We shall stay where We
are or go on and up; we decide
that matter ourselves. We can
drift along, doing our work fairly
we'll; or we can SET our faces 10
the front and do Our work SO well
That we cannot be kept back. In
this way we make or mar our own
fortunes. Success, or failure are
not chosen for as; We choose
them for oufSelyes.-HamiIton

statement.
The boys and girls who paid
their own way and learned to
