OUR PUBLIC FORUM
I---lntrOductOry

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 message to civilization. Men who achieve seldom talk, and men who talk seldom achieve. There is no such thing as noisy thinker, and to truth.
 It 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, "Crucify him." Mankind never has and probably never will produce a generation that appreciates the genius of it's day. There never will be a crown without cross, progress with out sacrifice or an achievement with out 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- tion since human motives began their upward flight. The Greeks gave human life inspiration, but while her orators were speaking with the tongues of angels, her farmers were blowing with forked sticks; while her phil osophers were emancipating human

moved on two-wheeled carts driven, and ofttimes drawn, by slaves; while her artists were painting divine dreams on canvas, the streets or proud Athens were lighted by fire 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 vicious achievements of the tremend- ous men of the present day. Edison can press button and turn light on multiplied millions of homes; Vail can take down the receiver and talk with fifty millions of people; Me Cormicks reaper can harvest the worlds crop, and Fulton's steam en- zine moves the commerce of land and sea
 The greatest thing human being can do is to serve his fellow men; Christ did it; Kings decree it, and wise men teach it. It 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, ana Fulton the teamster to industry, and blessed Is the age that has such masters for it's servants

En- ening Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON.

HOW Mother was Repa1d.
The other day 1 read in a magazine
the story of j girl who made a re-
ligion of the philosophy that one has
right and duty to develop ones
soul. She spent her fathers money
for expensive flowers while her mother
wore shabby clothes, and did all sorts
of things equally 'unthinkable.
I throw the magazine down in dis
gust. That's all made up, thought
No girl would be or would be allowed
to be as selfish as that.
A few hours later the postman
brought me a letter, and after I had
read 1T l knew l had judged the mag
azine article too hastily. For, if the
letter was true (and it plainly waS) :,
the article might easily be-.
No, the letter wasn't about another
girl who fed her soul at the expense
of everyone about her. But it was as
unthinka BILE in it's way.
Its writer was the mother Of five
children. II take care of the little
ones" she wrote, II wash, sew, and
cook for them all and for three men
about the place. 1 have spent every
cent could get for them to give them
a good education and a good start"
Now what do they do in return for
all this?
Well. here are q few of the things
They tell her that she doesn't know
how TO cook (because she hasn't time
J..
They laugh at her, before outsiders.
when she makes mistakes in gram
They make fun of her friends if
she brings them TO the house
They laugh at her voice when she
sings in church.
They say that her hands are a
fright and ask her when she last man
toured them.
They scold her when she forgets.
These are just a few-not anywhere
near all-of the ways that these chill
dren find to repay mother for going
down into the valley of the shadow
to get them and for devoting every
moment and every thought of her life
to them.
But to me the most pathetic SEN
tence of all was this: when I am
in the next room can sometimes hear
them talking of things 1 would love to
have them tell me, or say in my pres
ence, of the events of the day, the
progress they are making in their
work and things like that"
If your child ask for bread, will you
give him q stone?
No, parents aren't like that. But if
the mother asks her child for bread
she may easily get a stone.
My blood fairly boilS when l read
that letter and yet, indignant as am,
1 pity those children almost more than
the mother. For think what they are
going to feel whom they've killed that
patient. long-suffering mother and
they see her lying there white and still
with the work-wcrn hands they made
fun of crossed. on her breast. And
then, when they know that she can't
hear the kind things they want to say
nor see the pretty things they want to
give her, the remorse they want to ex-
press to her will cut through their
hearts like a knife and they'd give half
a life to bring her back long enough
to tell her, and they can't. they can't!
oh, folks with mothers,you wouldn't
do such terrible things as these I
know; but if you don't want to feel
like this look out for even the lesser
sights, the minor selfishness, the lit
tie thoughtlessness.

GROWTH OF MERCHANT MARINE

That the European war has given
an unusual stimulus to the growth of
the American merchant marine is in
Dictated by report made recently by
the bureau of navigation of the federal
department. of commerce.. This shows
that the tonnage increase of our mer-
chant ships during the first four
months of this year, or up to May 1,
amounted to 1,019 vessels of 6SO,155
gross tons. This is a greater increase
than has been recorded for any pre-
vious entire year. In 1907, $50, 70S
gross tons were added to the Ameri
can registry, and previous to that the
record had been held by the year 1855,
when an increase of $780, 02 gross tons
was recorded. But will we be able to
retain our increasing merchant marine
after the war is over, and go on de-
veloping it to the proportions that it
should assume? That's the important
question While the high ocean rates
that the war has occasioned prevail.
it may be possible for American ship
owners to compete with those who do
business under other flags. But the
experts in the premises are agreed
that this cannot be done under nor
NAL conditions and because of the ex-
actions of the new La Toilette sea-
mems law. Even now it is considered
probable by some that this law will
result in the bulk of the shipping on
the Great Lakes being transferred to
Canadian registry and that it will
seriously jeopardize our coastwise
traffic. And a movement is already
under way in government circles to
repeal this law, or, at least, eliminate
some of its provisions that are held
to be so unreasonable as to place
handicap on American shipping that
cannot be overcome

FRENCH TRADE STATISTICS.

couple of weeks or so ago. there
were presented in these columns some
statistics showing how the war had
paralyzed the foreign trade of Eng
land, and incidentally the industrial
activities there because the largest
falling off was in the export of indus
trial materials and manufactures. 1t
was suggested that similar conditions
prevailed among the other belliger-
ents. Comparative figures of the
French foreign trade with the excep-
ton of those relating to gold and sill
yer, etc, are now at hand. They show
that for the first five months of 1915
the value of this trade was $764,139,-
ITO against 1.261.06S,I76 for the
same period in 1914. Imports were
valued at $536,772,565 against s714,-
S20,469, and exports amounted to
s227,S66,545 against s546,247,7O7. The
imports of food products were valued
at $145,97o,725 against $14S.95O,S3S
in 1914; industrial materials, 1924
s49.S25 against s435.S41,S64; and
manufactures, $165,952,015 against
s13O,277,67s. The exports of food
products were valued at $44,399,457
against s56,91O.4S9 for 1914; indus
trial materials. s4s.764,152 against
1857, 934,9SS; and manufactures
$117,021.9sS against $2S4,S5O,437.
Postal packages amounted to ST.
1924 against SAG, 1913 for the
first five months of 1914. And the.
are that the war has. in
jured the foreign trade and industrial
activity of Germany to a far greater
extent than it has that of either
France or England, as the facilities of
the seas have practically been denied
her from the beginning of the war,
and since the entrance of Italy into the
conflict her trade opportunities are
of a most meager variety.

INSECT ODDITIES.

1t may be true that there is nothing
new under the sun, but nevertheless
some things are. passing strange, says
the Wide World Magazine. So, at
least, thinks the naturalist-especially
that particular caste of naturalist who
is dubbed "bug-hunter" by the irrev-
erent man in the street. For Dame
Nature is a lady of infinite resource
and tickle fancy. Some aeons ago she
conceived the idea of making a few
six-legged creatures, or. insects as we
now call them. and for some quite in
applicable reason the notion seems to
have pleased her. We are entitled to
draw this conclusion from the fact that
she has been busily inventing new
kinds of insects ever since. What the
grand total of her output may be we
do not know, but wise men aver that
there cannot be fewer than a million
different sorts of insects alive and
kicking on the earth today. ALI the
members of this vast army are built
up on exactly the same ground-plan,
SO to say. having neither more nor less
than six legs, and displaying a close
similarity in the broad outlines of
their get-up. Yet each of the million
sorts of insects is unlike all the others!
In many cases it is quite easy to show
