probably worse.
Two per cent of the average popu-

to exhaustive Investigations made. -
said Doctor Goddard. 1T is therefore
certain that you have double that
number of feeble-minded unless Del

Your Governor has told you the

The federation will also work TO have
thorough and efficient medical inspection

training of feeble-minded children will
also be urged.

A TIME FOR REPENTANCE.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL, Sir: The time has come for
men to repent and turn from their evil
ways. The law OF God demands right
eonsness, and II injustice has been done
bv any one he must make restitution
before the favor OF God can be gained
No man can be right with God who Is
unjust TO his fellowmen.
In these days God is having a con-
troversy with men, War, pestilence and
earthquakes are startling the nations.
We have sinned and our wickedness has
reached stupendous proportions. I'm
morality abounds, unbelief is rampant
injustice is bold and without shame.
MANY churches have been lukewarm.
God has not been an idle spectator OF
the wickedncss of the world in this age
of material prosperity. The wealth
which has been piled up mountain high
in the last 200 years largely by sys-
TEN of injustice and piracy, is being
consumed in the flames of war.
The poor and the weak have suffered
age-long injustice at the hands OF the
rich and powerful. God is now Judging
the world in righteousness. When He
maketh inquisition for blood, He re-
membereth them, for He forgctteth not
the cry of the humble. Mans inhuman
itv to man has made countless thous-
and mourn. God has seen it all the
while. and we have been treasuring up
wrath against the day of wrath and the
righteous revelation of the Judgment OF
God. He says;
But unto the wicked God saith,
"What hath thou to do. to declare my
statutes. or that thou shouldst take
my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing
thou hatest instruction and casteth my
words behind thee, when thou sawesi
a thief then thou cOnsentest with him
and has been a partaker with adul-
terers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil
and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou
sittest and speakest against thy broth
er; thou slanderest thine own moth.
er's son. These things hast thou done
and / kept silence; thou thoughtesi
that l was altogether such an one as
thyself, but / will reprove thee and
set them in order before thine eyes
Now consider this, ye that forget God
lest tear you in pieces, and there be
none to deliver.
The time of this wickedness and
ignorance God kept silent. Now he
commands us to repent and turn from
our sins. May we hear his voice and
obey before it is too late.
Yours truly,

Prof. Grantham said that the expert
ments show that in fertilizer potash is
best for corn. He also said that for
building up the soil an alfalfa crop is
wonderful in its results. He spoke OF
the chart shown by Prof. Mccall at the
morning session and said that he was
glad to say that corn growers in Dcia-
ware, according TO his chart, showed
from Is to 20 per cent. higher crops than
those in Ohio. He referred to the fact
that while Delaware is a small State, it
is to be reckoned with when the growing
of corn is considered. One of the charts

TaiSei Maru, With About 100

The local japanese colony is pre-

Honolulu, it was announced that the
Japanese mercantile marine training
ship Taisei Maru had sailed from
Shinagawa for Yokohama to take sup
plies sufficient for at least four
months. ~. H.. .
The Taisei has paid former visits to
the islands, but has not been in these
waters for some years. 1t is one of
several vessels in the training feet
which are kept almost constantly
cruising in the north and south Pa

berths in commercial vessels flying

Many Japanese officers in the Togo

Kaisha have won their way from raw
recruits to official station after few
years spent in study and an active
participation in f1rst-hand maritime
experience as cadets in the training
squadron. .... .....
The graduates now making the pres
ent trip in the Taisei Maru are to be
taken to San Francisco where they
