OUR PUBLIC FORUM
I.--IntrOduCtOry

Through the Press Service of Agri-
culture and Commerce, the master
minds of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk. and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
1t will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who can roll In
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of it; to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization a few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce
generation that appreciates the genius
of its day. There never will be
crown without a cross, progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out a.challenge.
This is an age of service. and that
man is greatest who serves the larg-
est number The present generation
has done more to improve the con-
dition of mankind than any civiliza-
ton since human motives began their
upward flight The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
we're speaking with the tongues of
angels, her farmers were blowing

osophefs were emancipating human

brands dipped in tallow.
The genius of past ages sought to
arouse the intellect and stir the soul
but the master minds of today are
seeking to serve Civilization has as
signed to America the greatest task
of the greatest age, and the greatest
men that ever trod the greatest planet
are solving it. Their achievements
have astounded the whole world and
we challenge every age and nation
to name men or products that can
approach in creative genius or mas
terful skill in organization, the mar
velous achievements of the tremend-
Gus men of the present day. Edison
can press a button and turn a light
on multiplied millions of homes; Vail
can take down the receiver and talk
with fifty millions of people; Nc
Cormick's reaper can harvest the
worlds crop, and Fulton's steam en-
CINE moves the commerce of land
and sea.
The greatest thing a human being
can do is to serve his fellow men;
Christ did it; Kings decree it, and
wise men teach it 1t is the glory OF
this practical age that Edison could
find no higher calling than to become
the janitor to civilization; Vail the
messenger to mankind Mccormick
the hired hand to agriculture, and
Fulton the teamster to industry, and
blessed is the age that has such
masters for its servants.

HINTS FOR THE ECONOMICAL
How Dressmakers' Bills May Be Saved

A cake of magnesia and clothes

In Mullins,

This recipe was introduced to GER
tain household by servant from Hun
gary. In Hungary, she explained, she
used salt pork, but she found bacon
better than pork.
She sits cupful and half of flour
with a teaspoonful and half of bak-
ing powder, teaspoonful of sugar and
half teaspoonful Of salt. Then she
adds a beaten egg, teaspoonful OF
melted butter and half cupful OF
sweet milk. After beating smooth she
adds half a cupful of bacon. The ba-
con is first fried or broiled until crisp
and then chopped and measured. The
mullins are baked in hot muffin pans
until done and they are eaten without
butter. The bits of bacon throughout
the mullins give sufficient flavor of the
sort butter would supply.

Cost of Rural Mail Delivery

II any congressman in 1898 had moved
that the sum OF $47,377,070 be appropria-
ted for the purpose of carrying mail a
round 10 the houses OF farmers, he would
have been thought crazy. Yet that is
what the service cost in 1914. Not mere
ly that, but the department has just TAX
en- 81, $50 familses.
The enormous cost of this service caus-
es criticism. The expense per route is
much more than was thought in the be-
ginning. The carriers and their friends
have become powerful political interest.
They demanded and secured liberal pay
ment.
The people along route are said large
ly to pay for it, by the stamps they buy
and those that are bought to deliver mail
matter to them. Possibly, yet the same
people might be living elsewhere and buy
ing the same stamps at regular postofhce
were there no route.
Asa time saver the service is very effec-
tive. 1t is cheaper for one man to spend
dgy taking mail to a hundred farmers,
than for hundred farmers each to spend
an hour or two a day driving to the
postoffice. The critic may say to this,
however, that the cost of the service
should be paid by the farmer, since he
gets the benefit of this enormous time
saving.
Country and city must each think
broadly of the interest of the other.
There are certain drawbacks of loneliness
to life on the farms. This has led people
to rush to the towns, and has made living
costs higher for all town jewellers. I'M
less the townspeople wish this tenden-
cy to continue, they must go the limit to
bring modern conveniences to the outly-
ing rural sections.
Rural delivery gives the farmer daily
touch with the markets, so he can buy
and sell intellgently. 1t brings the news
paper promptly to his door, so that he
does not feel isolated. The little mail
cart is the thin thread that binds him to
the moving world. Any politician who
should favor cutting it out would be re-
garded as just as crazy today, as If he
had suggested spending all this money in

ored when newly cut, but darkens with
age. 1t is SO heavy that it sinks in
water, and for that reason cannot be

inches of the outside of the tree is

There were two ushers, Everett II. Grout
and Walter A. Barrett, both of Worcester.
The brides gown was an imported mod ell
of hand embroidered India silk, cut en-
traine, and embellished with lace. With
it was worn full length veil of tulle fas-
tened with orange blossoms, and au arm
bouquet of bridal roses completed the
effect. Miss Waite's gown was also i'm
ported, of cream lace trimmed with
touches of pink satin. Her flowers were
pink and white sweet peas.
