Anythinp.nIus

Beyond the last wayering doubt. any
thing can happen now In this spOrtive
demesne. Both Yale and Harvard have
trimmed Cornell upon the water. Zip
goes another hunk OF tradition.
There have been great boat races be-
fore at New London, but the next Blue
Crimson jubilee of oars will draw the
greatest attention OF them all. BY every
sign that has developed so far It win be
a grand race between two grand crews,
and il will be a battle TO the last paddle
sweep and TO the ultimate breath.
The same situation exists in baseball
this season that existed last summer-viz.,
any ball club that cares to play a bit OF
regular baseball over fairly consistent
stretch can hutter away to a safe lead
within a fortnight.

NEW FACTS CONCERNING
 THE HISTORY OF THE EARTH
Early Geologic History of Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Discussed in Survey Report.

New details are continually being added by geologists to the known his- tory of the earth, including the devel- opment of plants and animals. How ever, that history, which is recorded in the rocks, is still fragmentary, like a badly mutilated book. One of the great defects in the record in the At lantic and Gulf Coastal Plain regions of this country is the absence of the later part of the Cretaceous and the early part of the Eocene chapters perhaps to 10 million years ago.
 A report recently issued by the Geological Survey as Professional Pa per 90-J, entitled ''The Cretaceous- Eocene Contact in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain," by L. w. Steph- enson, discusses this missing part of the record and shows that the break must cover a very long period of time 1t is known that at that time the con- tinents were at least as large as and probably larger than they are now, and the oceans were accordingly small Ter. Any rocks that were then form ed in the sea seem to have been wash. ed and weathered away.
 Hundreds of kinds of plants and ami mals that lived before and hundreds that lived after this great period are known hut mt ono >uhich liyad d,,rip n, the period. Strange to say, few if any of the species which existed be- fore the unknown period lived through it. It is like play in which the places of one act remain the same as in the preceding but the characters are all new, and yet many of the new players resemble the old ones so much that one is compelled to admit that they are close relatives. In each of the States bordering the Atlantic Ocean, South of New York, and the Gulf of Mexico, are layers of rock which were formed before and after the period whose record is missing. In these layers are entombed sea shells of many kinds, but apparently not one species lived through from Cretaceous to Eocene time.
 A copy of the report may be obtain ed free on application to the Director of the Geological Survey, Washing ton, D. c.

THE FAN

"What think you of the mighty war;" Asked one he chanced to meet. Forget it." growled the baseball fan, And hurried down the street. He met another farther on.
 "How's biz? this friend inquired. "To early yet to tell" he said, "The Feds, though, don't seem tired" Another block, he's stopped again "Can Russia lick the Turks ?" Brush by" the fan replied, and then "The Braves sure are the works" He hurried on-was stopped once more And told of some new graft; "Election day is far away,
 "Talk baseball now," he laughed. Another held him up and spoke About the shipping bill. Eve never heard of it." he said, And hope I never will" The fire engines passed him by He never gave a glance; Nor paused to scan bulletin About fight in France. The clubs were working out down
 South,
 He yearned for news of them; And every sporting extra bought, From noon till six p. m. And thus he spent his waking hours, Just longing for the day When back up North the boys would
 troop,
 And start the seasons play.

orcprTARY BRYAN LAUNCHES onu onr,T nnur,TTEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
(Contributed.)

The noted Secretry of State, W. J. p,van. appeared in Philadelphia last M ..l and made an address on total I s..;rence to an overfowing audience ;n the Billy Sunday tabernacle and at .s conclusion, 12,OO0 men signed the .0tsl abstinence pledge. There was ;,tense enthusiasm and the Secretary r.s cheered and applauded through o,t the entire address. The signers .nrolled themselves as members of the National Total Abstainers Union and hone to have 2O,OO0,000 names by Ian. 1. 1917. The pledge was writ ion by Mir. Bryan and reads as fol- ,ous. "The undersigned promises, God helping, never to use intoxicating lic,Or as a beverage" Mir. Bryan Drouounced this the greatest body of men ever assembled for total ab- sinence meeting and it is also record hreaker for the amount of signers at one time in the history of the temper anee movement. This is remarkable as occurring specially in Philadelphia AS it has been one of the strong holds of intemperance, but since the coming of Billy Sunday and his stupendous meeting, there has come great change over the city of Brotherly Love" and they are now going ahead of the procession and are leading the world in total abstinance signers. The Sunday meeting have closed with 41,- OOO conversions, the largest in the history of the world and they are bringing forth fruits for repentance ani are giving King John Barleycorn the hardest blows he has received.
 Mr. Bryan desires this movement to reach the entire country and will use his great personal influence and unequaled eloquence to advance the cause. He will very probably work to commit the Democratic party to prohi- bltion in it's next National convention. He has always been a temperance ad- vOcate and is unlike many of the great leaders in that cause in that he has never been a drunkard nor even q moderate drinker and so has not been reformed because he has not been de- formed by drink.
 The temperance cause is to be con- graduated that it has the two most lOrceful and eloquent speakers in Amerca, If not in the world, enlisted Ml It's cause and they command the lar stsI audiences of any speakers on the gOOe,-Wllliam Jennings Bryan and Dlly Sunday Now that they have S0mOlned their strength against alec a0l and In favor of evangelical Christ ,anlty, there will be such results as mas never been witnessed before.

The Importance of Women of Buying
 Wisely.

In the April WOman's Home Con- paniOn Anna SteeSe Richardson, writ ing story entitled, Mrs. Larry's Ad- ventures in Thrift"-the first of a new series-tells about the Housewiv- es League, which is doing great work calculated to teach women how to buy with more wisdom. Following is an extract:
 What does it avail woman to have thirty-fve receipes for utilizing the remains of roast, if she does not know how to buy a roast in the be- ginning? Our grandmothers, yes, and even our mothers used to devise means of making what was grown on the farm go as far as possible. To- day, our men-folk grow nothing. We women in the cities and the towns and the villages must go out any buy so wisely that we rival in this new housekeeping the frugality of our an- cestors. It's all in the buying"

GRAND MA

once there was tiny baby girl
 A long, long time ago,
 When first she could remember, Time passed so very slow.
 Baby grew into girihood.
 And wonderful days were these; As she was busy with Ter play. Or happy learning at Mothers knees Glrlle was soon a maiden Shy, gentle, modest as could be. Striving to be patient and loving.
 Preparing herself for life was she Her Prince Charming came one day
 And chose her to be his bride.
 How happy they must have been.
 At the altar side by side.
 Three beautiful baby boys Were entrusted to their care:
 To be loved, led, taught, guided;
 Not driven to do some share. Alas! quickly shadow comes To this happy little home nest. The husband is called, not to return. But surely God knows best.
 The young mother seems helpless With her, almost, double share. Her mother offers timely aid, And both have faith in prayer. If We are only mere mortals, Created from the dust,
 How graciously the Lord provides For those, who in him trust.
 A forlorn, sad little group Start, holding each other by hand After the cruel un-Civil War, Devastated the fair Southland. The old home was in South Carolina, With palmettoes and soft sea breeze. The new home is in Arkansas,
 Amid strangers and tall pine trees. The boys have grown to manhood,
 Good Christian men are they. Two are gone. Mother expects to Meet them some happy, happy day One stalwart son loves and cares For his mother as, only son can. Thus proving to her and the world,
 He is every whit man. In fancy 1 see, Dear Grand Ma; As she thinks of laughter and tears Of joys and sorrows that have Filled her four score years. Many happy returns of the day of thy birth, May sunshine and gladness be given And may the dear Father prepare thee on earth, For a beautiful birthday in Heaven" Lovingly Cullie.
