| to be had in this world.
In propagating the seeds of affection in
the hearts of others, we, ourselves, reap a
bountiful harvest of brotherly love.
To be precise, conscientious and con-
sentative in our dealings with our fellow
men not only promotes their well-being,
but also assists in furthering our welfare.
Another weather forecast, according to
some of our prophets winter was practically
over week or two ago, but did anyone
happen to notice any robins hereabouts
during last Fridays blizzard3
''The world could dispense with society
and never miss it; high society is for those
who have stopped work and have nothing
else to do so states President Wilson,
which confirms his character, being man
of absolute stability and of which we are
Justly proud.
1t is only thru utility that we may esti-
mate value. Why not use our present spare
moments to broaden our receptive visions
and increase our ability to cope with great
er problems. We may not at present per-
ceive the wisdom of this utterance, but in
due time its true value will be appreciated.
If comprehended, when the occasion arises,
we may be able to determine the course OF
procedure that will lead ultimately to a
successful future.
The latest achievement of note in verbal
communication service was established BY
the Trans continental Telephone Co., on
Jan. Is, 1915 between New York and San
Francisco. Several persons with money to
burn, have since taken advantage of this
wonderful accomplishment. Alexander Ora
ham Bell is the original inventor of the
telephone. He personally conducted the
experiments that were eventually brought to
the present point of realization.
| The bill passed by the House last week
permits Minneapolis to sell bonds that will
enable the city council to authorize the ex-
tention of public Improvements. Thru
this course several hundred men now idle
will be provided with employment, which
was the prime factor in the necessity of its
Immediate passage, as no funds were
available for this excellent opportunity to
assist those in need. This is a real pro-
gressive step for in its provision the public
is doubly served.
The "Ship Purchase bill which failed
of passage, may have its ultimate effect
though, towards the establishment on a
larger scale the merchant marine service of
the United States; through its recent dis
cussion, the inducement of private owner
ship may be aroused and provide vehicle
that in itself may eliminate the extension
of the present system that will ultimately
bring about as nearly desirable effect in
placing the United States on record as a
leading factor in maritime commerce, as
would the "Ship Purchase bill, had it been
passed.
The recent contests held turnout the
state by the better farming associations are
beginning to loom large, especially in the
| juvenile branches now being conducted.
The recent visit of our champions in corn
growing and domestic science to Washing
ton and their variations of their experience
to the President and his cordial welcome to
these youthful lovers of nature has installed
into the minds of hundreds of young people
who are blessed with the opportunity to be-
come successful agriculturist to stay with
the land. This incentive in the young peo-
pie of our state will ultimately be its up
building both in wealth and character of
citizenship.
| 1t is a rare occasion in our chapel, when
those in attendance are accorded service
containing such exceptional merit as that
which we were favored with last Sunday.
The admirable efforts put forth by the two
young ladies from Minneapolis were ex-
ceptional in bringing our hearts and minds
in closer touch with the teachings of our
Heavenly Father, through their rendering
of those beautiful vocal and instrumental
solos, which were indeed soul inspiring.
The message of divine love thus conveyed
went deep into the heats of those present
and one that will not be forgotten by many
of us for years to come. We extend to
these kind friends of ours our sincere ap-
probation and trust we may again in the
near future be so graciously favored. Rev.
Benson's address was we'll received, for it
was brief and to the point. We regret that
all herein were not present.
