At the Christian Church.
constipation

A reporter of Mrs. Grundy was
present last Sunday night at the
Christian church. This was our
first opportunity to hear the pas
tor, Elder Northcutt. While we
do not see all things concering
the Bible as he sees them, yet we
will give him credit for preaching
a wIde-awake sermon and one
that was to the point.
A good point brought out by
him in one theme was that many
a home is brought down to pow
erty and disgrace by the folly of
trying to keep mp with the world.
Many a person to keep apace
with the gaIts of society have
been forced to steal to keep up
or to spend the savings Of some
poor father who thru many years
of hard toll has saved up a nest
egg for his old days.
Our boys and girls should be-
ware of the fact that if they can't
keep apace with the world and
soiety that shey should either DC
able to cope with the expenses of
the same or leave it alone and to
not work a hardship upon your
parents IN their old days.
Ii you nave to do these things
go 1T alone, but our advice to you
would he to leave this off and
follow after your Master in the
meek and lowly way.
Many other good thoughts were
brought out by Pastor Northcutt
and We were glad to have been
there and hope to hear him some
more In the future.

MORE ABOUT LIVING COST,

August Geweke OF Desplaines, presi.
dent of the Cook County Truck Gar
deners' and Farmers association, de-
clares that seven middlemen absorb
Is per cent of the price charged the
Chicago consumer for garden truck.
He names:
The commission man,
The broker,
The jobber,
The truck scalper,"
The wholesale peddler,
The grocer
Mr.. Geweke asserts that an abund-
ance Of garden truck does not mean
lower prices. Last year, he says, was
called "a famine year." yet Cook coun-
ty never produced more garden truck.
The producers got from So to 81 a ton
for their product, while retailers dis
posed of 1t to consumers at prices
ranging from $40 to 500 ton.
Mr.. Geweke expresses the opinion'
that good roads will aid greatly in
enabling the producer to sell directly
to the local dealer, and thus greatly
reduce the cost of garden truck and
farm products. He thinks 1t Is poor
business for the producer to try and
distribute his own truck, as the gro
Ger Is so much better equipped for
this work, that the cost could not be
cut, and the producer could use his
time to better advantage at home.

EUeENIc LAWS HARMFUL

Eugenlc laws Will do more harm
than good and juvenile institutions
are breeders of criminals, Clarence
s. Darrow told members of the Irish
Fellowship club of Chicago, recently
in an address before that body.
You may develop potatoes and
cattle by eugenics, but whenever you
get above the brute you must have
freedom and choice" he said.
Political philosophers now are try
ing to regulate BIRTH" said Mr.. OAR
row. Permission to have offspring
would depend on the amount OF polit-
ical pull one has. Nature does more
than the eugenic professors ever can
do. She is ever busy building up the
strong and tearing down the weak.
What explanations is there for
Shakespeare? No professor of eugen-
les mated his parents. They were
obscure, yet nature developed one of
the rarest specimens of humanity the
world has known. What excuse is
there for Lincoln?
I'VE are laboring under an obsess-
ion that society will become perfect
if We pass laws enough. These cures
always effect more evils than the d.
sease itself. If the making of laws
were left to truly wise men, there
would be very few of them.
There are so many laws that no
individual can possibly know all of
them or obey all Of them. No one In
a lifetime could read them all and al
ter he finished know what they were
'"The juvenile court is a late inno-
walton. We have reached that point
when we think people cannot even
take care Of their own children. 1t
is a mighty poor home that is not
better for child than a state institu-
ton, which statistics show is a breed
ing spot for criminals. There are
many who cannot give their children
the training they should, but If the
money which is spent in taking care
Of your juvenile institutions were
spent in helping the people in their
homes, the result would be different"

We never deceive them, they will be-
lieve what we say; we obtain their
cooperation, We minimize panic, and
We can begin active operations at

common sense; but, strange to say,
the general acceptance of this golden

TEXTBOOK MAD,

Burlington Hawkeye: In a neigh

the children In the schools learn
something, learn much In fact, about
the town itself, the. manner in which
it is governed, how ana why improve
ments are made, what the town man.
ufactures, what 1t buys and sells. and
"a hundred matters Of importance
that are surely as valuable as a lot of
colonial history. Perhaps the histori
cal course should begin with the home
town and then gradually embrace Che
state, and then the nation and finally
the world. The plan found favor In
the neighboring city, until some one
came forward with the suggestion
that there would have to be a text
book There was a time when reac-
tionary architects talked about
world going cement-mad. And in
somewhat the same manner the
school folk of this country seem to
have gone text book mad. There is
the town lying about these schools
just waiting for the teachers and their
pupils TO read page after page, and
there some fellow who cannot con-
ceive that anything can be taught
without a text book, insists upon max
ing the teachers teach from the print
ed page, and wants the children to
commit to memory lot of dry words
and figures, instead of learning real
facts. How much and with what ease
boys and girls learn from companions
in play. Many students recall a real
teacher here or there who taught
them more in a half hour or an hours
talk, than they could get out OF text
books in a week.
The suggestion that children, and
for that matter many grown-up folk
familiariZe themselves with their own
cities, is an excellent one. If they
are 10 get the information through a
text book it will be of the least pos
sible value to them and what little
remains fixed in their memory will
probably be wrong.

The interest in the meeting is
growing in a marked way. The
n-onday night audience surprised
even the most hopeful. The spirit
of the meeting was all that could be
asked, One young man made the
confession. The capacity audience
last night filled the auditorium. The
sermon on THE Faith That Saves"
was one of the most significant up
to this time. The speaker said
Faith lies at the foundation of all
normal activities. The farmer, the
merchant, banker, doctor, husband.
all act on faith. The same is true
in religion. No man will ever ac-
cept Christ except on faith. There
is much confusion regarding saving
faith. This confusion has kept
many out of the church. 1t is not
the church. The surprise is that
there are as many as there are.
False barriers have been reared in
the way of faith. The object of say.
ing faith is not creed, dogma, or
confession of faith, system of doc
trines, church or self, but Jesus
Christ. The Bible knows no other.
To rear another is to hinder the pro-
gress of salvation. Most skepticism
is a mistake. Men think themselves
unbelievers because they are unable
to believe things which are not
true, and ought not to be believed.
Saving faith consists of both belief
and trust. Without the element of
trust no faith can save. In the
thought of Jesus, faith consists in
acting as if certain things were trae
If you forget everything else that is
said, remember this. If your faith
ever saves you it will be because you

County COMMERCIAL CLUE.

Inc bennington County vermont
Improvement Association was organ
lied in March, 1912, by over 100 prom
inent business men of the county, in
Guiding men engaged in manufacture
ing, trading and farming. 1t con-
Germs itself with whatever is for the
betterment of the county. 1t was
formed to stimulate activities for eco
nomic, educational, social and moral
improvement and to furnish leaders
for such betterment work. 1t pro-
vides the machinery for putting in
to operation policies generally re-
garded as desirable. but which in
dividuals or Individual communities
could not put into operation. The
county was selected as a unit be-
cause of the inter-community aspect
of the improvement work. The asso-
citation is committed to the following
principal lines of activities:
% A better and more profitable
agriculture.
(2) Better roads, with a more eff
ficient system of road administration.
j. 90 A more adequate system of pub
lie schools, which will lead the
small isolated rural school to a higher
plane of efficiency.
(4) The development of home in
dustries.
4 (5) The improvement of sanitary
and hygienic conditions.
CO. The promotion of adequate
play and recreation facilities.
Cd The fostering of a more even
ly distributed social life.
lSl The f1rfhpranan IF oil Dlanp for
civic betterment and county beautifi-
cation.
The Bennington County Improve
ment Association is financed by an
nual dues from its members, and by
contributions from certain members,
who constitute the roll of honor, and
by others designated as sustaining
members. Nearly 900 regular men,
bers pay a fee of 81 per year each.
Ten sustaining members each con-
tribute 800; one of the roll of hon
or" gave $3.50; and nine others $1,000
each. In addition to the various &C
tivities mentioned instituted and sup
ported by the organization, the asso-
citation employs a secretary to devote
his entire time to the general man
agement of the association affairs and
also to direct a complete survey of
economics, social, educational and re-
ligious conditions of the county. A
man has been employed who has had
much experience in this sort of
work.
This suggests the idea that the Os-
kaloosa Commercial Club might be
enlarged to include Mahaska county.
With a cooperation like is related
above, wonders could be accomplish.

GODS LOVE.


Like a cradle rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful to and fro
Like a mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below
Hangs the green earth, swinging
turning,
Jarless, noiseless, safe and slow;
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us beloE. TX
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and cannot rest
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best;
So when we are weak and wretched
BY our sins weighed down. dis
tressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds us closest, loves us best.
o great heart of God, whose loving
Cannot hinder be nor crossed:
Will not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost
Love divine; of such great loving
Only mothers know the COST
Cost of love which, all love passing,
Gave son to save the lost.

The Eucalyptus tree is not native
in California, but 1t grows even bet
ter here than it does In its fatherland,
Australia. The Eucalyptus is surely
a peculiar fellow. It's foliage is per-
ennial, and instead of shedding its
leaves it crawls out of it's bark every
year The bark peals off In great
strips and drops to the ground. The
trees grow to a great height and are
as straight as an arrow, in most OF
them the foliage being confined to
the very top. Here and there you
will see telephone lines built on Euca.
lyptus poles, and on first sight one
would think they were iron poles.
Standing 20 to 25 feet high many of
them are not to exceed four inches in
diameter at the base. Eucalyptus oil
Is a panacea also for all the ills that
flesh is heir to in California. And by
the way we cannot see much differ
ence between the ills here and in 9TH
er parts of the planet. But California
must be recognized as the playground
of the American continent. 1t is a
fine place in which to spend vaca-
ton. But we would advise all, es-
lpecially those we'll established in
Iowa to spend several vacations in
California before deciding to locate
there permanently. They surely have
many advantages,-but so do We
and it resolves itself into game OF
checkers, with first one and then the

| AS to the comparative cost of liv-
ing we can only quote a few prices
and let others do the comparing.
Eggs retail at so cents per dozen, but
ter 3S cents per pound. Granulated
sugar is cents, and different brands
of coffee average 2 to cents per
pound more here than in Oskaloosa.
Choice oranges are 25 cents per doz-
en-, and apples three pounds for a
quarter Canned and package goods
are the same price, and notwithstand.
ing the fact that gardens grow the
whole year round vegetables here are
little if any cheaper. We overheard
the "cook-lady" say the other morn
ling she had found one thing cheaper
here than in Iowa. Green peas in the
pod were only 1917 cents, or bit,
per pound. We also heard her say
later on that she never saw such
thick pods and such measley little
peas in her life And so it goes,--
and we presume that people every
where are up against the same prop
osition, the high cost of living.
