Has Had Plenty of 0pportuni-

Interview With Him.
SAYS THE WAR is lawful"
Says He Does Not Expect Any
Visit from Commission of
European Bankers; Doesn't
Expect to be Touched"
Copyright 1915 by the United

Copyright 1915 by the United
Press)
Cleveland, O., Sept 17:-John
D. Rockefeller, Sr., has definite
Iy, positively and finally determined
that he will take no part in lending
money to carry on the conflict in
Europe.
In an interview obtained with the
worlds richest man by the United
Press it was learned today that the
oil king has been afforded opportuni-
ties to enrich himself further by
lending money to the warning ma
tions and that he has absolutely re-
fused.
Are you expecting call from the
commission of European bankers
lion dollar war loan for the allies? ?"
Rockefeller was asked.
NO. he replied emphatically. Il
certainly am not expecting a visit
from the commission, nor do | ex-
pect them to ask me for the war loan.
They know l would not consider 1t"
Then, after a pause, Both Eng
land and Russia have asked me for
loans. They We're refused
Again Rockefeller was meditative-
ly silent moment. Then he ex-
claimed feverishly: This war is
awful. Don't you think it is awful?'
During the interview, which was
granted at the oil kings Forest Hill
estate, Rockefeller did not mention
his son, John D., Jr., who is reported
to have been approached by ]. P.
Morgan in regard to the immediate
war loan, but the senior Rockefeller
showed clearly that he is death set
against being party to promoting
. the bloodshed.
In reference to the Wall street re-
port that financing a war was en-
abling Morgan to take from Rookie
feller the title of "the richest man in
the world this question was put to
Rockefeller:
What effect will it have on condi-
tions if Morgan negotiates this bill
lion dollar loan for the allies?"
The shrewd smile of Rockefeller
showed on his face. Then, instead OF
answering directly, he recited this:
"A wise old owl lived in an oak tree
The more he saw the less spoke he,
The less he spoke the more he heard
Why can't we all be like that bird?'
Today a man very close to Rookie
feller stated authoritatively that on
one occasion Rockefeller had been ap-
preached by Russian agents with a
deal involving $50, 100000 and he
had turned them down. Foreign
agents who visited Cleveland recently
in an attempt to enlist Rockefeller s
financial aid in the war, have been
barred from Forest Hills. Shots from
a revolver in the hands of an at
tendant halted an automobile in
which one agent tried to dash
through the guarded entrance to
reach the oil king.

MINISTERIAL THRIFT

Rev. c. S. Smith, pastor of the
Methodist church at Grant, Ia, has
accomplished some. hing worth while
as an example in gardening in con-
nection with a wide sphere of use
ful service in Lis church and COM
nifty. On plot of ground 27X3S
feet he has raised and marketed
during the spring and summer veg
etables and plants to the value of
$297 SO. Before the season is over
Rev. Smith ant ;cipates that he will
have realized something like twen-
ty to thirty dollars additional mon
ey from this garden.
Rev. Smith b. gan his work early
in the spring with small green
mouse which is included in this
space. 1t is probably eight feet in
width and twenty feet in length
He grew in this cabbage, tomato
and other plants for the market
His program includes the produc-
ton of considerable variety of
plants including, besides tomato
and cabbage, cauliflower, pepper,
celery and house plants. The third
crop is now be ng taken from this
plot of ground.
This good Methodist brother has
IN no sense permitted this work to
interfere with his ministerial duties.
On the other hand, his work in
this line has brought him in closer
touch with his own people as we'll
as all others in the community. En-
erybody in his community is inter
ested in gardens. Not only this but
they are interested in the minis
ters garden and many OF them are
frequent visitors.
The net result of this garden
is to get pastor and people togeth-
er in more real sense than would
be possible if the minister would
ed himself in his study and devot-
ed his whole time to the consider
Grafton of the theoretical side of
religious life. Religion is, after all
much more a mode of life than 1t
is a belief in theoretical system
of faith.

HELP YOUR MOTHER

When the husband thinks he

thinks she couldn't have done
worse, some dive ce lawyer gets
the price of q new runabout.
Mothers idea of calamity is
when the pastor is i'll and there
are no serv:c S on Sunday. But
Fathers idea of a calamity is when
the beer man is i'll and doesn't
show up on Saturday and Father
has to go dry on Sunday.

close their eyes when they are be-
ing kissed. But if the men would
look into a mirror they would see
the reason

use every one of them when she
finds a dainty perfumed, lace
bordered handkerchief in your

The war in Europe seems to have
upset a whole lot of men in this
country. But Mothers idea of a
Notwithstanding is to have the
wash day postponed until Tuesday.
When Mother has three or four
daughters Father always finds e.
nough store hair around the house

BOY WHO CAN DREAM

1t is good thing for the farmer
boy to have an imagination. 1t is a
good thing for him to "dream
dreams and see visions" It takes
dreamer to see the TRANSFORMER

bring to pass on the old place. 1t
takes dreamer to see how much
more desirable that place will be
in ten years than a job in a dry
goods store.
1t is the boy who dreams who
sees a field of thrifty alfalfa where
that stunted We low corn is grow
ing on the t'mter forty. 1t is the
boy who dreams who sees those
hungry looking cows with burrs
IN their tails replaced by a herd
OF dairy matrons that tax the ca
paclty OF the milk cans at every
milking. 1t is the boy who dreams
VINO sees a waving corn field
where the cat-ta Is are growing who

the amount of patronage it receives.

the emblem or banner of a distant

den sunshine or mist.
Occasionally during the excessive
wet weather some travellers would
be obliged to remain for few
hours but none became lonesome
nor weary because of not being
entertained, we do our best to
make them feel at home.
The River-to-River Road passes
through a section of country remark
able for this and the stream OF
travellers seems to know that if they
are on the River-to-River Road
the shortest cut across Iowa
they fear not for hospitality nor the
condition of the great highway.
What satisfaction it must be to the
