Denison, Ia, Sept. % Den
ison's system Of new street
lighting by electrollers is now
completely installed and the

Will the War

The United States will he nb-

Mexico, Central and South
America. This unusual d.. ain
upon our coal resources n ay
and probably will mean very
high prices for such coal as can
be shipped to cur interior mar
kets. A serious shortage of
labor may also curtail Ire l"o-
duction in mining districts in a
very marked manner.

Directory of Minerals.

Every city has directory of its in.
habitants. If you do not know per-
sons name but do know that he
is paperhanger, the classified busi-
ness directory will locate him for you.
A directory of the useful minerals
in the United States, on much the
same plan, has just been published by
the United States Geological Survey.
If you want to know where any one
of the 400 useful minerals occurs, this
directory gives the list of localities in
each state where your mineral will be
found. This publication should be USE
full to many classes of people in many
ways. If someone wants to sell you
stock in Texas oil company the re-
port will tell you in what counties in
Texas oil is produced and in what
other counties it may eventually be
found. If your wife wears a blood
stone lavalliere, the report gives you
the only locality in the United States
where that stone is known to occur.
If you want to manufacture plaster of
paris or need lime for your back pas
ture, this report will tell you where to
find the gypsum and gives the LOCATION
of your nearest limekiln.

TOOK POSSESSION OF HOUSE
Growing Eecentricity of EnaIishwom.
ans Life, That Was Filled With
Eccentricities.

In an old book published n Paris un-
der the title Of lie Journal dun voy-
age au Levant," there is an amusing
account of the way il which Lady
Hester Lucy Stanhope, the eccentric
English traveller, took possession of
the house at Dicun, where eventually
she made her permanent home
She was pleased with the house and
its surrounding gardens, and accepted
an invitation to dinner. AS she sat af-
ter dinner, with the owner, Christian
merchant, he said to her that if she
liked the place, he should be glad if
she would stay the night. When she
said that she liked it so much that
she would stay there the rest of her
days, he took it as polite figure Of
speech; but a fortnight later, as she
still prolonged her visit, he suggested
that Europe might be expecting her
return.
81 do not intend to return" she re-
piled, carelessly.
"Ah, then you intend to build a pal

mo, this house suits me very WELL"
But l cannot let it or sell it, mi
lady"
q do not wish to hire it or buy it,
but intend to keep it" was the start
ling reply.
In this dilemma the merchant dis
patched a messenger posthaste to
Emir Beshyr, who sent word to Lady
Hester that she must give up the
house. Lady Hester, however, wrote
to Constantinople, whence courier
came to the emir, bearing the order,
"Obey the princess of Europe in ev-
erything."
So the disgusted merchant fed, leav-
ing her ladyship in possession. There
for 20 years she lived the life of a
recluse, growing more and more with
drawn from the world, and more ac-
customed to dwell in mental and
spiritual realm of her own creation,
until she died, and was buried in the
garden of the house that she had
usurped.

shrewd Butcher.

A certain English butcher, who sold
about 80 cooked legs of pork per week,
said his loss was formerly 40 per
cent and now only 22 per cent in
the electric oven, or a clear saving
of IS per cent. After deducting the
cost of the current at two cents per
unit, his saving amounted to so cents
per leg of pork, or SIS per week extra
profit. On being told that he had
only saved water, he answered: Per
haps so; but, you see, my customers
pay me 2S cents per pound for it!"-

For Those Who Wish to Reduce.

Do you always take every opportu-
nifty to walk when you can? If it
is a matter of several blocks, do you
take car when it is possible? Take
every opportunity to walk, but walk
as if you really enjoyed it; put some
energy into this exercise. Really make
it an exercise. Do not eat more than
one starchy food at a meal, drink
plenty of water, but between meals,
and, above all, eat enough to allay
hunger, but stop there; do not con-
tinue as if you were never going to
get another meal instead of one quite
as heavy in another four or FIVE hours.
Another thing, sleep with plenty Of
fresh air circulating in your sleeping
room and if you are very stout do
with just sufficient sleep, and above,
all omit the nap in the middle of the
day.

Just then the telephone bell rang.
The clerk turned to answer it. AT.

"Wait till get pencil I've got to

AS he wrote he repeated: Mock

house steak, half chicken, mashed
potatoes, peas, string beans, tomato
salad, ice cream, strawberries and cof-

the phone: How many is that dinner

Then he turned to the manager.

Troublesome Gender.

The trouble that Latin gender gives
to American boys and girls who are
struggling with the rudiments of that
tongue should inspire in them a SYM
pathetic feeling for small descend
ant of the race of Attlia who found the
gender of our English nouns and pro-
nouns q stumbling block.
"A solid little figure trudged up to
the librarian in the children's room.
That little boy he declared, indi-
eating the rest of the room vaguely
with his thumb, che hit me-"
The "liberry teacher" followed him
back across the room until the ac-
cusing thumb halted near a table
where sat guilty-looking child about
half the size of the plaintiff
The accuser explained: "That little
boy, she hit me. That little boy is
a little girl; but he has short hair,
and when point at him, she hits me-"

SUCCESS MUST BE EARNED
Earnest, Intelligent Effort, With In
dustry, Will Set One Well on the
Path to the Goal.

Most men who have amounted to
anything started with nothing but abil-
ity and determinations combination
which recognizes no man-made limita-
tons.
Any kind of work is better than idle
ness, which is directly responsible for
most of the unhappiness in this world.
Idleness is a dangerous thing; it
may grow into habit that might stick
to you after you get back in harness,
and the man who loafs on his job is
only fooling himself.
Eternal, intelligent effort is the price
of commercial growth, and where
there is no progression there is bound
to be retrogression. Business is some
thing like aeroplaning;. to stop is to
drop and to drop is generally to bust.
Pin your faith to the law of COM
pensation, but don't take any stock in
the law of chance; there's no such
thing. Waiting for something to turn
up in the belief that things are bound
to come your way eventually is throw
ing dice with fate. Many good dog
never got decent bone until his teeth
were gone.

DR.. PARKER'S TWO SERMONS
And How He Got the .Moruing Con-
eregation Back to His Church
at Night

A characteristic story of DR.. Parker
was told by a minister who had it
from an old minister who was much
interested in Joseph Parker's early
work as a local preacher, says the
British Weekly. One Saturday he met
Parker and asked him whether he had
an engagement for Sunday Yes"
was the reply.
Are your sermons ready, Joseph?"
asked the minister.
Il have the morning sermon" was
the reply, but l am not sure about
the evening"
We'll. Joseph. what is your text for
the morning and how do you treat it?"
Parker went over his text and the
outline of his sermon.
But, Joseph" said the minister,
that is very clever, but # is not the
real meaning of the text. If you will
look at the commentaries you will see
that you are wrong"
Parker thanked him and went his
way On the Monday the minister
again met his friend.
We'll. Joseph, how did you get on
yesterday"
Very we'll" was the reply.
How did you manager"
We'll" he said, "in the morning l
preached my sermon and explained
the text in my way, and at the close 1
said: This is how understand it. But
learned men understand it differently,
and I will tell you in the evening how
the learned men understand it."
They all came back in the evening,
and Joseph had happy day.

HOW TO HOLD THE
COUNTRY BOY.
VIII Be a Live Subject For Maryland
Ministers During Country Life
Conference At College
Park, August 4-6.

II the country is to prosper, 1t must
retain its most important crop-its
young men and young women. To do
so, it must make the country pleas
ant place in which to live. 1t must
make it attractive enough to cause
them to look forward to it as q life
home. And, again, the Challenge OF
the Country must be made more ap-
pealing to the ambition and pluck OF
the country boy than is the Challenge
of the City. Urbanitis in the minis
try, and urbanitis in the schools is one
great cause of this present exodus.
Plans for counteracting this urbanitis
and its effect on our young life will be
presented for discussion at the Coun'
try Life Conference as part OF the
rural problem in the solving of which
the country church and its ministers
should take a vital part.
In truth, the Rural Minister has a
difficult condition of affairs to meet.
Country Life has changed and is still
changing. Although some churchmen
vaguely realize this, many do not make
q study of the problem, nor attempt to
analyze it. So there is a complaint
that the Church is not fulfilling its
obligations to the community, and for
that reason is losing ground. Old or
ganizations and customs have died out
and new ones which seem to supplant
the Church have taken their place;
with the result that the Church to an
alarming extent has lost its hold upon
the people.
