Herald Blasts.

An enemy treated as a friend will
soon become a friend.
The religion that bears no cross is
not the religion Of Christ.
Enmity cannot live long when 1t can
find no enmity TO feed upon.
No one can know Christ we'll, and
be ignorant of what He taught.
The value of the diamond is not In
what it does, but in what it is.
It is not the clock that ticks the
loudest which keeps the best time.
The man who would know God we'll
must begin with himself.
The man who would know God well
must be willing to do His will.
II is because so many people see
wrong. that so many things go wrong.

Young People

Young People
Harrisville, w. Va.-This town OF
300 persons, famous as the taxless
village, is bidding for fame again.
yhis time it is through the enforce
Iment of an ordinance which may make
many bachelors and "old maids"
from the youth of the town.
The eagle-eyed mayor arrested
three boys for a violation of the cur
few law, requiring all persons under
20 years of age to be in their homes
by 8 o'clock in the evening, and they
are threatening to begin legal pro-
ceedings, alleging that the curfew re-
stricts personal liberty and violates
the Constitution. The mayor, how
ever, declares the law will be en-
forced to the letter.
Whats the Constitution got to do
with regulating the peace, good order
and civic etiquette of HarrisYille, any
how?" he asks.
Harrisville is unique among the
cities of the world in that it levies
no property tax. This comes about
because the town owns its own nat
ural gas plant-the wells, lines and
equipment. This it rents out at in
tervals for short periods to the high
est bidder.
So productive has been this ex-
ample of municipal ownership and
skill in town management that some
years ago it was considered that it
: might be possible to declare divi-
dends to the citizens, or offer bon
uses for births and newcomers.

Sir William entertains a very high
opinion of the capacity of American

ing evidence thereof by engaging the
services OF II, l.. Cooper (who acquired

and while it was under way the people
from the surrounding countries all

there were many languages spoken,
and a confusion of tongues" was the
result. This, according to Sir William,
led the Tower builders to believe that
God had sent a confusion of tongues"
because Of the penetration Of the
Tower into Heaven.
Sir William has views of his own
about the Scriptural story Of Moses
leading the Children of Israel across
the Red Sea. He points out that IL
Moses had gone to the Red Sea in the
time he is credited with having taken,

satisfy those who adhere to a mistake

Spend Last Day of Open Trout
Season at Grand Mesa Lakes

Messrs. w. E. Obert, L. r. Wigram,
E. T. Minney and A. NJ. Anderson
spent the last day of the open trout
season at Grand Mesa lakes, the fu-
ture worlds favorite fishing resort.
The day was a beautiful one at that
high altitude. Both natives and rain
bows bit well in Forest and Alexander
lakes, and the fishermen named came
home with baskets well filled, having
taken in all nearly 100 beautiful trout,
about one-fourth of the number rang
ing well up to two pounds each.
There is but one detriment to the
enjoyment of a trip to Grand Mesa
lakes at this time, and that is the
bad condition of the roads from upper
Keiser crossing to the lakes. This is
the main hill portion of the road.
Much lumber is being hauled down
from the two saw mills on top, and
the many springy places and water
seeps along the hills have flooded the

one from the other and mirroring the
skies in their crystal depth.
The lakes are having better care
than ever before in the way of stock
ing and watching, and while the fish
ing is fine at present, it promises to
be ideal in the future. An unusual
amount of spawn has been taken this
year, almost more than could be
placed or taken care of. For some
weeks the Brook trout have been
spawned at Eggleston lake, and this
work will not be completed before
another week.

Progress of European War.

The daily newspapers which have
been doing much of the fighting in
Europe, have almost stopped the war
this week while filling their pages
with good United States election
news.
From the meagre reports supplied
in press dispatches, it appears that
the fighting continues with little
abatement Floods have prevented any
advance on the part of the German
army on France. and even forced back
the fighting line
In other portions of the war zone
fierce though periodic battles are be-
ing fought.
More or less of the keen edge has
been taken off the fighting spirit of
the armies engaged, most of the whirl-
Wind rushes having been withstood,
and the war will probably be pushed
with less vigor and settle down to bet
ter planned series of battles. Such a
course being in evidence leads to the
prediction that long time will elapse
before the closing of hostilities.
