Dumba's Panied Astonish-
ment At Republioanisrn.


Not in anger, but in panied aston
ishment at the ways of republican
diplomacy, does Austria-Hungary's
Ambassador Extraordinary take leave
of our shores, says the Nation. If"
he writes in his remarkable letter 10
Secretary Lansing:
If the conveying of letters to. Eu-
rope by Americans travelling abroad
during the war is an offence, it IS
one of which most Americans are ar
parently ignorant, as the courtesy has
frequently been volunteered by my
friends, and is habitually practieed. 1t
did not for a moment occur to me that
it was improper. nor am | yet able
to see it in that light, having regard
to the entirely legitimate purposes /
had in mind in the line of the per
Torrance of my duty.
How does that casual reference to
"my friends" fit DR.. Dumba's descrip-
ton Of the particular American who
carried the fataIletter for him? ITO
day at twelve o'clock" he wrote II
that letter, 'Mr. Archibald, who il

Take Time To Think
Of Heaven and God!

In these days Of war and rumors of
war, greed and grapple, oppression,
strife, hustle and gusto # would be
we'll for the Christian people of every
denomination to bark back to the good
old times when religious people found
time enough each day to spend at least
q few minutes in serious, studious
thought Of religion and it's comforts.
Even in such times as we are pass
ing through today there is much food
for thought and comfort for the real
Christian of any denomination. If
there was ever a time when heaven
seemed dearer goal for the tired
soul Of man than today it must have
been time Of trial, indeed.
It is really something to strive for
something to think about and some
thing for the true Christian to feel
certain of--that home of eternal peace
and happiness, called Heaven. 1t is
the one place where the weary soul
will find its longed-for ease and COM
fort. 1t is promised to those who
are true to the principles of Christly
truth unto the end of the present life,
No doctrine is more clearly taught
/ in the Bible than the doctrine of an
eternal haven Of love, and peace an
rest and joy prepared for those who
love God and keep his commandments
The doctrine of heaven is one upor
which Jew and Gentle, Protestant anc
Romanist can all agree. Every tirec
and weary soul must feel the need o
some resting place, where care ari'
sorrow cease. Every soul contemplat
ing such a home of eternal bliss AM
glory must be brought nearer to tn
great Ruler Of the Universe and mus
therefore be brought nearer to life
duties and responsibilities. To neg
lect soul-refreshing thought Q
Heaven and its glories each day is t
neglect that which means most to tn
immortal soul Of man here and here
after.
To allow the burdens of life t
crowd in 50 thick and fast upon tn
heart and soul and mind of man as I
shut out all religious thought an
heavenly meditation is to allow Il
soul to dwindle and suffer many to-
lures that could be avoided if tin
should be taken to think upon Il
goal of all religions-Heaven.

Because some of the girls of fha

cans and othcr necessities, they are
likely to be unable to max. use Of the
products of their gardens unless they
are financed according 20 a state
ment made yesterday by Miss Fort

the girls out of the difficulty
Tomatoes, fruit and other produces
are rapidly ripening now, and Miss
FORMER believes local merchants and
other residents will be willing to fur
nish cans, canning outfits, and other
nee ssities of that kind to the girls,
to be paid fer in canned goods Such
arrangelr ent will allow the girls to
benefit from their labors in growing
the products, and at the sam t'maa
will give local consumers a supply of
the very best and puHsst of canned
later at higher prices.
Several men alrs aly spoken to in
this regard heartily favor the propo-
sition, and Miss FORMER believes the
girls will be given the aid they need
and deserve, under this plan Or
another almost of the same nature.

last demonstration of canning and
preserving held in the city this ca
son under the direction of Miss Mary
Fortner, canning club agent for JEFF
| ferson county, will be held Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock. at the nigh
school, by the home demonstration
club of the city. the canning club
members of the county, with nigh
school girls and othsr women and
girls invited to be in attendance to
see how the canning is done.
TIE demonstration will be held in
connection with the preparation OF
the film-drama story now being pho-
tographed here, and also because so
many of the members OF the dem
Cnstration and canning clubs want
information as to the best method of
canning tomatoes, which are now
ripening in large numbers.
In order to "boss" jefferson coun-
ty cotton, the members of the home
demonstration club have adopted as
their uniform dresses made Of un-
bleached domestic, and these uniforms
will be worn by the members at the
demonstration tomorrow morning.
Whilo tomatoes will be the princi-
pal things canned, it is not unlikely
Miss Fortner will also explain to the
ladies the manner of packing peaches
commercial style" as they are pack
cd by the big canneries.
Large Attendance Indicated
That quite a number Of the MEM
bers of the clubs will be in from the
rural sections to attend the demon
stration is evident from the number
of requests for information which
have already been received. The
high school is at Laurel and Eleventh
streets, and a large crowd can De
cared for at demonstration there.
Miss Fortner stated last night that
there will be on display during the
