We moved on. around the bend
by the road, and back into the dusk
Of the thickest pines. We walked
ON to the spot where We first had
met, and where first the thrush had
sounded for us his elfin clarion.
There we stopped and listened, but
there was no sound save the whis-
per of the pines.
And then, an we waited. our eyes

The four of us walked up the road
In merry mood, and the older folk

You can just feel Christmas in the air And even if you did not know it in any other way, you could tell it in tle hurry and hustle everywhere. the sparkle in the eye, the tone Of the voice, the secretive movements. the skip in the walk--oh. everything whis- pers that Christmas is near. And the committees are just as busy as they can be. Sunday there were three new committees appointed: Mrs Harvey SeNringhaus. Mrs. Walter Wilson and Mrs. W. J. Osborn on the purchasing committee; Mir. Muldrow. Lloyd Os- born and Sherman Moore on the tree committee and the Young Peoples bible class on tho decorating commit tee, with Miss Helen Kyler as chair man. The music committee and pro- gram committee are conducting ire quent rehearsals and if you don't have a good time, it will be the fault of none of these

 Mir and Mrs. G. G.

SECRETARY OF WAR DODGES
 NIAGARA POWER CRISIS ISSUE

An attempt was made by the board of directors of the American Electro chemical Society to obtain relief for the electrochemical manufacturers at Niagara who are in dire need of more electric power. Permission to use more water from the Falls for this purpose appeared to be in the hands of the secretary of war. Accordingly the matter was laid before Mir Baker and he has replied by referring to a mem- orandum stating that his powers in the matter are doubtful and that the decision must first be made by con- sress.
 The secretary of war having refused to take action himself has, according to the news from Washington, recom- niended that temporary permits should be given to generate more power and has also advised congress that in con- sidering it's Legislation as regards fur ther diversion it should keep in mind the preservation of the Falls by actual lS' dlverting more water. This is rec ognized as very interesting but hardly a solution of the present crisis since legislative action by congress during the present session seems highly im- probable
 Meanwhile, the Canadian govern nient has not yet made the threat tIlrQ ol CAPOIl tOWtl. There has been a meeting at Ottawa attended by representatives of the power companies and there will no doubt be some action in the matter before long.
 It is believed that the Canadian government officials are really enx- ious to avoid causing inconveniences and loss to the United States manu- lecturers, but while desiring to be perfectly just they cannot let their own people suffer for a lack of power 10 which they are entitled. Therefore eventually export of power to the United States from Canada will be stopped unless there is an extraor- ldinary check to industrial activity. This is not expected. but rather that the demands of Canada for power win increase much more rapidly than our congress can legislaie Metal lursical and Chemical Engineering.

CROPS IMPROVED IN
 NORTHERN COUNTIES

In the case of be2ns and corn ex- cellent work has been done. Beans grown from hand selected seed yield ! cd 100 pounds more per acre than | from seed not so selected. This sea son d double selection is being made. i Pods from the best vines are first hand selected before harvest and af- terwards the beans from these arc carefully hand picked. This carefully selected seed will be planted in a seed plot from which seed will be secured for the field crop the following sea son. Seed for the seed plot will again be carefully hand selected. Fields of corn grown from fall se lected seed yielded [ bushels per acre more than fields grown without such selection.
 Some farmers used tbe "ear-to-row' method for determining high yielding strains
 Three varieties of corn for silage results are not sufficiently evident to determine which to adopt as the stan dard silage corn.
 Several varieties of potatoes are under test to determine the best va riety for this section MT. Peter Rem cher of Eager. Arizona has done praise worthy work iH the improve ment of potatoes having developed first class white potatoes of excellent flavor and good weeping quality from the Rlue Victor.
 Oats have been grown for years from untrea ted seed without any ap- preciable amount of smut, hence the farmers did not care to treat thelr seed this year. As result nearly every field in the county was very smnttv The estimated loss Der acre is 13 bushels In many fields one third to ore-half of the heads were smutty All of the farmers express @ readiness now to treat their seed cats to precent smut.

AVOIDING MATERIAL FAULTS
 IN DODGE BROTHERS CAR

Much has been said of the great care used bp Dodge Brothers in se- lecting materials. but there is still q great deal to he told of the tests to which all material IS subjected.
 For instance, all brass and bronze used in Dodge Brothers cars is care fully tested to ascertain the amount of copper and lead and if the quantity is such that it might prove injurious the entire consignment of metal is rejected
 The method of testing was devel- oped in the Dodge Brothers labora- tories.
 The process of determining the undesirable clements is similar to the ordinary electroplating. The brass or bronze under test is dis. solved in acid ard into this solution are placed two electrodes, consisting of platinum gauges. 4 direct cur rent is applied ard the resultant

Plati- mum is immune to the chemical action taking place during the electroplat- ing Incidentally. it might be men toned that the little gauzes weigh considerably more than ar ounce and that platinum these days is worth from e350 to S4 a gramme-- and that there are 2S grammes, of course to tho Onnce

WAGE, CONTROVERSY
 AMICABLY SETTLED
M. D. & c. Ky. Get $12.0OO Be hind in Pay Roll--Railroad Commission Threaten to Bring Suit-Adjustment Reached.

Little Rock April 22.-The wage controversy between the officials and the employees of the M D. & c. Ky. has been amicahly adjusted through the good offices of Labor Commis- sioner J. c. Clary.
 The men had pettioned for a semi monthly payday, in accordance with the provisions of the statutes. The railroad had been having a hard time and had gotten about $12,0O0 in ar lrears on it's pay-rolls, and many of the men were themselves in desperate need.
 The matter was submitted to the Commissioner, who threatened to bring suit for collection unless imme- diate arrangements were made for settlement. A conference was held in the governors office, A. c. Ram sey, vice president, appearing on be- half of the road, and L. J. Bulling- ton, w. T. Hood, D. M. Hixon and Jack Higgins on behalf of the em- Iployes. The conference was harmon ious and conciliatory After both sides had been given a hearing, the following agreement was unanimous 1 ly reached:
 l. All money due for the month of February, 1916, to be paid in full on ,,. boforo Mav 1oIE
 l ?. All money due for labor on~ sec ton work to be paid in full by May l,
 3. The balance due for past wages 1 to be paid as follows: On install Iments of 20 per cent beginning July Il, 1916, and continued until the full amount is paid.
 l i. The M. D. & c. Ky. Co. agrees, beginning May l, to have a semi monthly pay day as the law requires.
 Commissioner Clary approved the settlement in the following words: Being fully advised of the conditions and circumstances of all parties con- cerned, and in view of the usual delay incident to litigation which the em- Iployes would necessarily suffer, be- lieve it to be to the best interest of all concerned to ratify this agree ment."
 It was shown that the affairs of the road are in much better condition than they have been, and there was a disposition on the part of the em- ployes to cooperate in every pos sible way to enable the company to work out the problems that have been confronting it.
