Church Once a Music Hall.

St Mary's. Soho. London. where an
interesting "Jansenist' service has
Just been held, is a church with re-
markable religious history. 1t was
originally erected through the infiu-
ence of Doctor Compton, the tree
planting bishop of London. for
the Greek archbishop of Samos and
his flock, who had been driven from
their island by the Turks.
Since then this little edifice has
been successfully meeting house for
Huguenots and Baptists. and was f.
nally being turned into a music hall
when captured by the Established
church. 1t is now being used by the
Old Catholics for their Sunday mass
and other services. with the sanction
of the bishop of London.
The first Anglican vicar of St.
Mary's was J. d. Chambers, once
famous Tractarian leader, who had

AMERICAN PROVED HIS WORTH

Be Effective.

Germany isn't the only country that
produces efficient men. When Erg
land became belligerent nation
about year ago her first great prob
lem was how to transport men and
munitions to southampton. the port of
embarkation for France and Belgium,
in the least possible time. Earl
Kitchener called conference OF rail-
road managers and gave them 60
hours in which to be read::- to handle
the necessary traffic. One of the on.
ferees was Henry w. Thornton. the
American who left this country two
years ago to become general manager
of the Great Eastern railway OF Eng
land. He took the leading part in
carrying out Kitchener's orders and
in As hours after the conference ad
journed the railroad equipment was
all ready. with steam up.
This instance of American efficiency
will be especially interesting to citi-
zens of Columbus. Sixteen years ago
Mr.. Thornton, then holding compare
lively humble position with the Penn
sylvania Railroad company. was a resi-
dent of this city and many of us re-
member the big, good-natured, hard
working fellow who. starting with no
more chance in life than million
other American youths of his day,
in 16 years has become one of the
biggest railroad men anywhere.-Co

GETTING A START

THE EYE AND THE EAR.

You were born with an empty brain.
| Nature did not give you intelligence
and refused to contribute even the
self-preservative instinct of the ami
NAL. All that you know today, and
all that you can ever receive, enters
your head either through the eye or
the ear. Each voluntary or involun-
tary glance of the eye, and each sound
which enters your ear, is registered
in or on brain cell, there to remain
forever, even though you may forget
the occurrence.
You cannot help seeing, and you can
not help hearing. Much of what you
see and what you hear may be OF lit
tie or no consequence to you, and 1t
would seem waste of brain material
to record these sensations: but, as
you cannot avoid this recording, it
behooves you to determine, as far as
is within your power, what you shall
see and what you shall hear.
You must see and you must hear
anyway. Will you attempt to regulate
the eye and the ear, or will you al
low them to run amuck?
Thousands, yes. millions. of men
see and yet see not; and as many
hear and yet hear not. They lie dor
mant. and allow impressions to come
to them and to occupy the cells OF
their brains, without using discrimina-
tion in the receiving and without at
tempting to utilize the result.
One man walks along the city or
the village street. His eyes and his
ears are receiving innumerable i'm
pressions, which he does not attempt
to regulate. and which he allows to
play havoc with his brain. Another
man. while he cannot avoid that which
is before him and around him. dis
eliminates, focuses his eyes and turns
his ears toward the sights and sounds
which will add to his stock of in
formation.
1t is as easy to see and hear intelli-
gently as II is to accept involuntarily
impressions and sensations.
1t is impossible for the bright and
intelligent man to look out of the
window. to walk along the street. to
occupy chair at his desk, to mingle
with his fellow men. without obtain
ing something worth while to him. to
his work. and to the world at large.
II is not enough to receive, for mere
receipts may have no commercial or
other value. 1t is what you do with
what you receive that counts in every
market.
What you need is everywhere. in
doors. outdoors, in the street, in the
fields and woods. Will you merely
allow it to pass inside of you. either
through your eye or through your ear.
unconsidered, or will you so regulate
your brain that it will separate the
wheat from the chaff and place it in
a position which will benefit you and
your community?
VIII you be a receiver. a mere re-
tainer, or will you be mill ever ready
to grind the grist that is constantly
coming to you?
You are master of it all. 1t is for
you to say whether what you receive
is to be beneficial or worthless. Re.
ceive you must What are you going
to do with what you receive?

matter OF speculation amonl the scientists of the
National museum. where the specimen is on exhi-
btion.
Another interesting fact in this same connec-
ton resulted from a scientific expedition which
Dr. c. Hart Merriam made among the mountains
of Arizona: he came across a living species of
bird identical with the one found mummified
and which is now known to the scientific world
by his name
Another recent discovery in connection with
the turkey Maya hierogyphic. This piece
of parchment shows grocers account in which
are mentioned, with other things. ten turkey hens
and five turkey cocks. This is thought to be the
first record of the turkey in this country and
antedates the expedition of Cortes TO Mexico in
1873
But the turkey goes back farther among the
Indians than the probable date at which
the specimen found in the existed. Among
the Zunis, for instance. there exist many legends,
handed down from time immemorial. which have
for their subject the turkey.
The turkey plays a more important part in the
life of the Indian than In his legends alone. Not
only is II regarded choice article of food.
but in many tribes it is held sacred. In the parts
of the country where the turkey was worshiped
with that curious devotion to animals which
characterizes different stages in the development
from savagery to civzation-it was never eaten
except when other food was unobtainable And
even then separate portions were divided among
various tribes, that the religious custom would
not be violated.
Turkey feathers rank next in importance TO
those of the eagle with all tribes, while the
Apacf IS. the Pamunkeys and Cheyennes chose
the turkeys feathers for all ceremonial head
dresses and ornaments. The Pamunkey tribe
also used turkey feathers for ornamental pur-
poses on their clothing, well for their head
gear. To this day, when they don their native
costumes. the turkey feather is preferred orna-
ment.
If Benjamin Franklin's words had been needed
the turkey would have been the national bird of
the United States. The eagle is first cousin to
the species lnown of old in the eastern hemis,
phere. Furthermore, it has appeared upon the
banners Of many nations. 1t a symbol of the
Roman empire. 1t was known in China for ages
and today it appears upon the banners of Russia

turkeys were proudly sent home trophies OF

When Cortes. in 1919 ascended to the plateau
of Mexico, he found social life developed to
high degree of refinement. He was entertained
with oriental magnihcence. All the delcacies
TO be found within the empire were set before
him; and though game abundant, the turkey
held the place of honor among the fowl. This
was the first time that the Spaniards had eaten
turkey, and the experience proved most salts

Don Go, Girls.

There are now seven million girls in their teens in the United States. If all these should sud denly be transported to some distant cline, the candy stores would be shut up, the gum fac tries would shut down, millin- cry stores would go broke, board ing schools suspended, women would weep, men despair. Gone would be the voices of gladness. the voice of the bridegroom. the sound of singing, the joy of music, the light of beauty. The big round moon would flood empty hamocks and deserted front porches, songs and taught CT would flee away, the land would mourn, the stones cry out the sky drop down tears and the whole world would agree that life isn't worth living. Don't go girls.

Douglas County Organized

Douglas county is the first in
the state to secure articles of in
corporation for county agricul-
tural extension association. Brown
county is a close second in the
race and several other counties are
moving in that direction. Under
this arrangement the county con-
tributes a certain amount for ex-
tension work and the state and
the national government then con-
tribute proportionate amount g..
The fact that the state and govern
ment contributions are paid from
the general fund to which all must
contriute is an incentive to other
counties to take advantage of the
opportunity and get their share.
