real inventor is Joshua Conkling
Reeves, who lives in Shade township
He has three pretty daughters.
This said he, in demonstrating
the invention, lis my latest contrap'
ton. For a long time I have known
that there was too much kissin' goin
en- when them girls of mine had their
fellows here Sunday nights. But
could not ketch them at it, so I jist
rugged up this little machine. and now
know a thing or two"
So saying. Joshua pulled from the
card partition between the parlor and
the dining room of his home "a con-
traption" that looked like pine knot,
It was a network of wires and there
was a little drumlike contraption.
II call this a resonator," said
Joshua TT ketches and increases
sound. When there is any kissin'
goin' on in the parlor the sound floats
through this machine and hear it all.
1t gets much louder over here. Jist
common kissin' goin' on the cheek o:

Turkey Foot Crossin', and long. hug
ging kisses are like the winds BLOWN

He went on to point out how strong.
healthy minds and bodies are ele-

The discussion in the open forum
upon Friends Duty to Missions" was

the duty of Friends in spreading the
Gospel everywhere, even as Christ
commanded, and outlined the fact that
only by giving ourselves unstintingly
to the work would we be able to re-
tain that vigor and virulence for which
every denomination should strive.

FRANCE TO OFFER
BOUNTY ON BABIES

BERLIN, July 31.-The decrease OF
the population of France is rapidly be.
coming more serious problem for the
republic than the war. According to
statistics published by Swiss newspa'
pers the number of births which was
about 1000 per day before the war has
dropped to less than 400. At the same
time, as a result of the war, the death
rate has increased so enormously that
all French provinces are threatened
with depopulation. The decrease, &C
cording to careful calculations amount
to about 1000 per day
There is great danger, that France
will not recover from this awful loss
after the war, because the bitrh rate
has not been normal even in time OF
peace for many years. Prof. Noulet OF
the University of Geneva is firmly
convinced that the population of the
French republic will be less than thir-
ty millions in 1925.
This fear is shared by many of the
French scientists and all kinds Of the
cries and plans are advanced to stop
the decline of the nation. The most
original proposition so far has been
made by Dr. Charles Richet. In pess'
irnistic article this famous sociologist
advises the governmental buy pa
bies. He thinks that parents should
be paid one thousand francs for every
child born to them, and will submit a
bill to this effect to parliament. Ac-
cording to his idea the thousand
francs should be paid in four install
ments, at birth and after two. five and
ten years, if the children are alive at
that time He confidently expects that
his scheme will greatly stimulate the
birth rate and predicts that France
may have a population of eighty mil
lions in thirty years, if his plan is car
ried out.

doctrine and our hegemony in the Caribbean will
be compromised by our neglect to fulfill our re-
sponsibilities. Haiti would be an extremely val
liable base for France or Germany, and no more
respectable excuse for laying hold Of it could be
desired than the violation of an embassy, with
perhaps the wounding or death of q foreign rep
resentative. If revolutionists are encouraged by
our complacency in Mexico to believe they may
run riot through any or all the Caribbean repub-
lies, sooner or later, and not much later shall
find an European squadron in that part of the
world, to remain there until we are ready and
able to expel it.
It may be irksome to play the role of police
man, but we would better make up mind to
play it well rather than as are now playing it,
half-heartedy and spasmodically. When the
European war is there will be in all probable
ity an intensification of colonial ambitions and
complication of relations in which events like the
Haitian violence may entangle us even to the
extremity of war. There will be heavy account
to meet in Mexico and perhaps elsewhere and we
shall not be able then to play the comfortable
passive role we have chosen.
If we are wise we shall get better control
over events in Central America and the Carib-
bean than we have now, and get it while we are
comparatively free from Chicago

New Tax Law Presents Problem.

Study of the new White
more bill, which awaits the signature
of Gov. Frank B. Willis, is said by
members of the general assembly to
disclose that a queer situation will be
created in the taxing machinery of the
state if the measure is submitted to a
referendum vote in the November cleo
ton. 1t has been intimated that the
opponents Of the measure, including
real estate interests, will suspend its
operation at least until November, and
ask the people to pass judgment on
the Warnes law and it's proposed sub
stitute. Secret aid from the new dis
trict assessors, who were recently
named by the governor, would not be
surprising, for final defeat of the bill
would continue them in Office. The
Parrett-Whittemore bill provides that
the ward and township assessors are
to be elected in November, 1915, but if
the law is suspended by the filing Of
q referendum petition there will be no
authority for the election of assessors.
Should the measure be rejected, the
Warnes law deputy assessors auto
matically would be retained in office.
But if, on the other hand, the Parrett-
Whittemore bill should be approved
by the voters, there would be no way
for two years to elect ward and town
ship assessors and the county aud
itors would have to appoint them, or
retain the Warnes law deputies. The
phase seems to have been entirely
overlooked by the lawmakers in ap
proving the measure.

TWIN CITIES CASE DECIDED
Interstate Commerce Commission Re-
iects Proposals of Railroads East
of Mississippi to Raise Rates.

Washington, April 30.-The inter
state commerce commission on
Wednesday rejected the proposal of
railroads east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio to establish a ninety
cent scale of class rates on rail-lake-
and-rail traffic from New York and the
east to st. Paul and Minneapolis. The
eighty-three cent scale was ordered to
be maintained.
The proposal of the railroads to
charge a twenty-eight cent scale Of
differentials to Minneapolis and st.
Paul over the rates to Duluth. also
was rejected and a twenty-one cent
scale ordered maintained.
This means that on traffic from the
East twenty-one cents will be added to
the rate to Duluth on shipments that
go through to st. Paul and Minneap-
oils.
The case, known as the Twin Cities
Case" was one of the mcst ina
portant recently decided by the CON-
