At the close of the Monday
evenings talk Mr.. Day, President
of the Com mercial Club announc-

1t is to be hoped that some ac-

suggested by Prof. Burr and
perhaps the High School and the
Com mercial Club will unite to
form a plan of organization.

The new class for men in the
Sunday School is something diff

before hand will give the gist of

will give their views and no
trouble, doubt or question, or
means of victory over sin, will be
ruled out. 1t affords a free par
lament or clearing house for your
ideas, but if you ride hobby
too long the Leader may gently
or otherwise suggest that no
more time that day can be given
to your topic.
The regular members of the

rather than as authoritative

think are invited to come and see
how it suits you. Mr.. Day will

Community Meeting

Sunday evening was we'll attend-
ed by the people of Meade and
vicinity. Some estimated the
number at 700 people. Mr.. Mar
shall had given a general phone
call oyer the rural lines earlier
in the day and consequently
many from the country were
present.
The meeting was opened by
singing several hymns by Sc

Bruce accompanied by Miss Os-

Mr.. Carlson, of the High School
faculty,i in introducing Prof. Burr
briefly reviewed the efforts of
the High School to focus the 10y
atty of the people to the high
school into movement for the
betterment of the whole COM
munity.
Prof. Burr is a magnetic speak
er and has the ability of present
ing his subject in such manner
that the audience was hardly
conscious that be had spoken for
nearly two hours when he clos
ed. He has had a wide exper-
ience in sociological work in cit
les and at present lives in small
village near Manhattan where he
found conditions backward but
through the awakening of the
community spirit developed the
village into a model town.
One of the many good points
Of his lecture was this; that the
city limits should not be con-
sidered-a wall between city and
country but should be broken
down and every quarter section
of land IN the surrounding COM
munity should be considered
factory engaged in the produc-
ton of some form of wealth and
that it was the business of the
com munity to encourage the best
methods possible in this UNDER
taking, providing for the best
facilities for marketing the pro-
duct and conserving the health
and welfare of the operatives in
this factory. He said he did not
like the term The farmer and
the Businessman" The term
should be the businessman on
the farm and the businessman
III the TOWN..
He said any nation was made
up of a large number of small
units the smallest unit being the
Gom munlty and that when the
community became decadent the
nation would decay.
During his lecture he cited
numerous instances where COM
munities had developed this COM
munity interest and had become
successful as result of this in-
terest.
For textbook on com munity
life he recommended the Holy
Bible.
After the conclusion of his ad-
dress Mr.. Carlson announced |
that the Com mercial Club bad

The Spring Cleaning.

From the St. Joseph News-Press.
OF late a new twist has been given to
the ancient custom Of spring house
cleaning by the celebration of Clean
up week" in various cities and towns.
This festival has to do not SO much
with the Intervals of house cleaning
as with the clearing away of rubbish
from yards. streets. alleys and cutters.
and the united effort on the part of all
the townspeople to make their COM
munity healthful and beautiful.
Spring cleaning Is an ancient and
honored institution. But may we mot
prof1tably consider another kind of
spring cleanup? When we see what
the cleaning up does for our houses
and yards. may We not stop to think
what a spring cleanup might do for
our characters? Just az rubbish has a
way of accommodating in garret. cellar,
closet, pantry, desk. bureau, so rub
bish Is sure to accumulate in our minds
and souls. And spring. with it's new
life and brighter light and pleasanter
air, is a good time to sift out the rub
bish from our lives as we'll as from our
houses and gardens.
So we should go over the whole list
of our motives. our interests, our
thoughts. our hopes, our pleasures. our
habits. our indulgencies, and see what

Despite its promising beginning indus
trial research in this country is in its in
fancy. Numerous problems confront it.
For example, the exact chemical constitu-
ton of glass has never been discovered
and many Of the problems of our glass
manufacturers depend upon the solution
OF this problem. Few industries have re-
ceived more aid from science than our
sugar reffneries. Yet American sugar
manufacturers do not use their by-prod-
ucts They neglect the opportunity to
manufacture alcohol from molasses. The
moisture content and degree Of infection
in sugars, which are the two chief points
IN grading sugar, have never been scien-
tif1cally determined.

help from science The chemical differ

The Drowning Season.
From the Baltimore American.

Don't rock the boat! 1t is not mere
ly a foolish sort of joke to do it: it
Is very frequently a murderous or
suicidal joke. If you cannot swim do
not wade out where the water is up
to your chin. If you do, you may sud-
denly step into hole that lifts the
water above your mouth and nose,
and when that happens the chances
are large that 1t will be your funeral
the next day or as soon as your re-
mains can be found. Don't dive from
a high place without being sure the
water is not so shallow as to result
in your head striking bottom. Don't
crowd five people into a boat made for
three. or three people into boat made
for two. Don't play foolish pranks
such as pushing a boy who cannot
swim into deep water. Don't go out on
the bay in a small motor boat. A storm
may come up and your small ship be
capsized.
The drowning season is here. There
has never been a summer within the
memory of the oldest citizen Of the
city that has not been marked by
drowning tragedies.

how SCIENCE BOOSTS
BUSINESS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Science and industry in the United
States must cooperate more and more
closely. There are two reasons Tor
this: The immediate and obvious one
is that the European war has deprived
us of many products for which We
had depended upon Europe and which
we must now devise means OF produc-
ing for ourselves. The fundamental
and lasting reason Is that we have
wasted all of our immense resources
that we can afford to waste. and from
now on must utilize every by-product
with scientific thoroughness.
Few persons realize the immense
strides which scientific research as an
adjunct to American industry has made
within recent years. There are about
100 manufacturing establishments In
this country which maintain efficient
chemical research laboratories, and at
ing more than 100000 year in red
search.
The extent to which our modern in
dustry is built upon scientific research
is little under
Modern Industry stood. Because
po,.a c.: our supply of
" dyestuffs from
Germany has been cut off, the public
has suddenly become aware that the
development of a dye-making industry
In this country depends on our chem
lists. But an investigation conducted
by the American Chemical Society
shows that no less than nineteen in
dustries in this country are literally
founded upon chemical research. The
corn products industry. with its varied
output. has produced at least 100 com
mercial products which are the direct
result of chemical research. Chemical
experiments in the use of cottonseed
oil have added between $40 and $12 to
the value of every bale of cotton
grown. 1t was a chemist who dis
covered that the great beds of phos-
phate rock in this country could be
converted into fertilizer and thereby
founded a new industry. In the pres
sible such an enormous saving of per-
ishable foodstuffs, chemist Is the
guide Of every successful establish
ment
fists Of the United States have been of
inestima BILE value. That the co-opera-
ton of science and industry in this
country has not been perfected, as 1t
has in Germany, Is due solely to the
fact that we have had such an enor-
nous supply of natural wealth. The need
for avoiding waste has not been ap-
parent. In enterprise and in that
com bination of keenness and self-con-
fidence which are required for success
full research American scientists have
always ranked high. The country
which produced Franklin. Morse. Nc
Cormick. Westinghouse, Bell and the
Wrights does not lack the talent to
make 1t a leader in industrial research.
And, indeed some splendid achieve
ments are in the annals of industrial
research in this country.
