work being started any time on the

MONEY IN THE MAILS FOR YOU

Do you want to make more money,
sure you do, and one of the best ways
is to engage in selling all produce by
parcel post to city consumers.
This is business which is grow
ing rapidly in favor, and poultry rails
ers, vegetable growers and others are
reaping the reward of the generosity
and perfect system of the u. S. gov
ernment in this regard. City folks
will pay top notch prices for eggs,
chickens, honey, vegetables, ETC., and
all you have to do is to use the mod
ern containers, which cost but little,
and which are returned to you, to be
used over and over again.
The shipping cases now made are
exceedingly strong, light in weight
and the postage charges are but a
trif1e. You can make mixed ship
ments Of milk, butter, eggs, poultry,
honey, vegetables all in one case, or
any one article as desired.
If you will write to the Hartley
Steel Grated Box Co., Saginaw, Mich,
they will send you a big catalog show
ing all parcel post supplies and give
you full information which will make
big money for you. They are relia-
BILE and headquarters on parcel post
supplies Of every kind, as well as
many fine specialties for the poultry
man. Get in touch with them.

MASTER MINDS TO
EVOLVE WAR NE TRODs
The Board Will Write Invs ntors to
Submit Their Plans and They Will
Be Tested If Thought Practical.

MISUNDERSTANDING that the
present Secretary of the Navy has
said or done has commended him so
promptly and cordially to the approval
of the public as his invitation to the
best genius of America to aid and
direct the upbuilding of the new
American navy.
Thomas A. Edison, Orville Wright,
Hudson Maxim, Alexander Graham
Bell, John Hays Hammond, Jr., Simon
Lake, r. A. Fessenden, Lewis Nixon
and Henry -Ford-as an advisory
board for the navy and incidentally
the army.
All our practical genius of inven-
tiOn and discovery, enthusiastically
enlisted for the defense of the coun-
try. 1t is wonderful.
The plan may have been inspired or
it may have been original. 1t does
not make one particle of difference.
The great idea entered into and filled
the mind Of JOsephus Daniels, Secre-
tary of the Maryland 1T is his. He
is entitled to the credit Of it,
And it comes at the psychological
moment. For years true men and
real Americans have earnestly plead
ed for preparedness. They have riv-
, eted in facts that created chain of
irresistible logic the necessity for an
adequate navy as first and indis-
pensable line of national defense
and as the complete and only insur-
ance against war.

What Daniels Wants

"What we want to do in this mat
ter is to appeal to the American inven
tive genius to work for the navy and
to study what we ought to do. We
want them to give us the best that
they can. Already since this war be-
gan, much has been done with our
own resources. What has been done
in the last three months has not yet
appeared, and work that is going on,
under supervision of our own experts
and engineers. will continue. But the
idea of the advisory board will be to
extend into the realms Of the un-
known in naval construction and pos
sibilities of naval warfare. We want
the advice of genius as to new lines.
"This is new era in naval war
fare. l believe there will be as vast
a revolution in naval construction in
the future as there has been since the
Monitor. The proposed board is one
of these things that must grow and
work out its own development"

War Practically Stops Sale of Agri-
cultural Implements Abroad.

WashingtOn.-Impo of a
corps of Swiss dyestuff chemists to
aid in the development of the new
American coal tar dye industry is the
latest project of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce in its effort
to meet the American dyestuff famine
resulting from the cutting off of the
German supply.
Two Swiss dye chemists, through
the bureau already have begun nego-
tiations with American firms to un-
dertake the establishment of plants
in this country.
War his practically stopped the sale
of American agricultural implements
in several of the European nations,
Figures made public by the depart
ment of commerce show that exports
of such products during the fiscal year
1915 dropped TO about $40, 900
from 1O-year average of $29,000,-
900.

LOW TARIFF PROVES
To Be A MISTAKE
President and Advisers Now Agree
That Reduction of Duties
Was Wrong.

There will be an upward revision of
the tariff. Manifestly this is Of su-
preme Importance to business, big and
little.
President Wilson and his advisers.
political and administrative, are look
ing forward. AS the war must end
sooner or later, the question of Gus
toms duties must needs have become
n vital issue.
Beyond dispute the impost legisla-
ton of the present administration and
Congress was chiefly responsible for
the trade depression that had deep
ened from week to week, to the mo-
ment of the European conflict.
The struggle has artiticially pro-
tected America. European countries
are engaged in what they believe to
be fight for their national existence,
and are therefore in no position to
take advantage of the lowered tariff
barrier here, even if the seas We're
open for unrestricted transportation.
Hence the American manufacturer
is thriving on the sufferance of the
European tragedy, which is neither
safe nor an uplifting situation for
the American manufacturer.
Fortunately for the country, the
hard facts of the short and acute
period following the passage of the
tariff bill made an impression on the
sponsors for that measure
The president means to appoint a
tariff commission early in the autumn
which presumably will hurriedly go
through the form of Investigating
economic conditions and then recon
mend" lift in customs duties.

ALL SHOULD ADVERTISE

Churches, schools, corporations and
causes of various sorts should adver-
tise, Talcott Williams, director of the
School of Journalism, Columbia Uni
versity, told delegates to the Interna-
tional Press Convention, in an address
at San Francisco. Great improve
ment, he said, was shown in the class
of advertising handled by newspapers
since those ''povertystricken days
when leading newspapers freely ac-
cepted advertisements which the
worst would not print today, and Hor-
ace Greely publicly wrangled over Of
fetal advertising which carried with
it political subservience."
The. moral improvement began, he
said with efforts three-quarters Of a
century ago to exclude lottery notices.

ENGLAND TOO ADOPTS ADVISOR
BOARD OF SCIENTISTS

The recent appointment of an in
ventiOn board of scientific men, with
Lord Fisher, recently first sea lord of
the admiralty as its head to assist
the British navy, was largely the re-
suit of a suggestion made by Lord
Bryce, former ambassador to the I'm
tied States to the house of lords and
followed upon a discussion in which
similar proposals We're made by Sir
William Ramsey and the other emf
nent scientists.
Lord Bryce pointed out that the
country needed not only fighting men,
but should mobilize its inventive in
genuity in chemistry, mechanics, en-
gineering, phyics-the whole range of
science.
AS Lord Bryce Sees 1t
81 have talked with many scien-
tific men and they are ready to give
their best efforts in devising all the
manifold requirements which this eX-
ira aordinary war-a war of science
has developed in the air, the water be-
meath the earth, and every conceivable
way, as well as on the fighting line"
Lord Bryce said.
"It is the scientific men who first
use their brains in thinking out all the
remarkable devices which are revo-
lutioniZing modern warfare and then
the ordinary agencies of government
merely carry out and apply what sci
ence has devised. 1t is the same III
war as i'll peace"

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE
cHuRCHEs7

Presbyterian churches in New York
City on recent Sunday showed sig.
nificant decrease in the size OF con.
gregations compared with ten years
ago. Membership IN these churches
has increased 2109 in this period
but attendance has fallen off 1900.
Although this comparison is for sim
gle Sunday only, and therefore not an
altogether conclusive test of church
attendance, it is undoubtedly true
that there has been general decline
in church attendance, and that the
Presbyterian is not different from
other denominations in this respect.
AS one minister points out, many peo-
pie holding membership in Manhattan
shurches live in distant boroughs and
therefore attend their own church but
occasionally.
Yet in small cities where this ex,
PLANTATION does not apply, churches
are confronted with the same problem
of diminishing attendance. The church
was never so equipped as it is to-day
with organizations for social activi-
ties of helpful sort, and never before
were so many people at work at car
rying on these activities; but the fact
remains that the obligation to go to
church on Sunday sits altogether too
lightly on the minds of the rank and
| file Of church members.
A changed conception of Sunday it.
self has much to do with this con-
dition. Sunday has become the great
| out-of-doors day, time for week
end" visits and entertainments, the
principal day of the week for pleas
ure. This use of Sunday has invaded
the ranks of the church. The only
difference between the Sunday of a
church member and the non-church
member is that, occasionally, when
nothing more important seems to cor
flict, the former goes to church.
A Presbyterian elder, who is also a
banker, is quoted in one Of the papers
as saying that the remedy is to enlist
young hustlers" in the ministry, so
that churches may be brought up to
the times in methods and equipment.
But the churches are not behind the
times in method and equipment.
Young hustlers" would be a good
thing to have in the ministry, nor
would it be out of place to have a
crop of young hustlers" in the pews.
Possibly the surest and best way to
fill the pews would be to begin with
the young, training the children OF the
Sunday School to attend church as
well as Sunday School, and instillihe
in their minds sense of loyalty to
the church's services of worship.

'ALCAZAR OFFERS SPECIAL
FEATURE ON MONDAY NEXT

Expense was not considered in pro-
ducing "The Quest" Nothing was
spared to make the picture as realistic
as possible. A huge sailing ship was
sunk at sea to obtain one of the
scenes. Over two hundred people, all
stars, act in this picture.
Here is a short synopsis of the
movie:
John Douglas, bachelor and society
man, is cynic concerning the women
of society and has pictured as his ideal
one whom he calls his dream girl. OF
ten in his musings she has appeared TO
him, but he has never seen her in thu
flesh. Tired of society and wishing TO
avoid the approaching social season,
he sails on a freighter for a trip to
the Orient, but the ship is wrecked
and he is the sole survivor. Exhaust
ed among the wreckage, a vision of the
dream girl appears as if drawing him
on to place of safety. Finally, he
lands on an island inhabited only by
strange race of white people, who
never before have seen any one but
members of the tribe
Maj daughter of the chief, Neto, res
cues John from the water, and he rec
ognizes her as his girl of dreams.
Frightened at his behavior when first
rescued, Mai defends herself and
knocks John unconscious with a rock.
Summoning help she has him carried
to the village, where she is received as
guest of the tribe.
John learns from the priest of the
tribe that an old legend relates that
