BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.

BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.
Heads OF the big industrial con-
Germs OF Chicago see Q very direct re
lation between the enforcement OF
the Sunday-closing law and the phys
ical and mental condition Of their I'M
ployees on Mondays, and naturally
they are not inclined to agree with the
liquorites' caustic criticism Of the pur'
itanical, undemocratic law and its en-
forcement. The men who manage the
great industries tell US that Sunday
drinking has meant lessened eff
cheney, decreased mental and moral
stamina, deprecated physical vigor
and the wasting OF money and conse-
quent worry over financial conditions.
"Our workmen now come to the
plants on Monday morning with clear
heads and rested bodies" said a fore
man of Armour and Co., the big pack
ing house. 1T was the complaint Of
all packers before the saloons were
closed that many Of the men either
did not show up at all on Monday or
reported with 'hangovers' that re.
duced their efficiency so per cent dur
ing tie day, and affected 1t for sew,
eral days thereafter. Now the men
are on hand Monday morning with
steady muscles, rested bodies and
minds, fit for their tasks"
"Our workmen were all OF hand last
Monday for the first time in years"
said one of the foremen Of the Illinois
Steel company, the week after the
Sunday-closing law was enforced
when we asked them what caused
the change they said they had moth
Ing to do Sunday but rest for Mon
day. Besides, most Of them had
enough of their wages left not to need
to ask for advances before the nezt
week ended"
"The closing of the saloons Is a boon
to industry" said one OF tho depart
ment managers Of the international
Harvester works. when the EN-
ployees have had time to note Its ef
feet, they will give 1t their hearties'
support"
"The direct effect on the building
trades is chat about rs per cent more
workmen were on hand last Monda!
than at any time during the period
/ have been handling large numbers o
workmen," said a member OF the Con
tractors Association Of Painters AM
Decorators.

Cottonseed meal Is n of the most
concentrated feedstufis that can be
obtained today. 1t contains, according
to analyses made by the United States
department Of agriculture, from SS to

Of vegetable origin which has anything
like this percentage Is linseed-oil meal.
The relative prices of these two feeds
should be the chief factor in determin-
ing for the farmer which one to USE.
C~ottonseed meal has, Of course. been
fed extensively for many years in the
S nth, but its popularity in the North
an West is comparatively recent. In
the past a very large proportion Of the
meal produced in this country has
been exported, Europe taking about
four hundred thousand tons in 1918,
despite the fact that its cost was con.
siderably increased by the freight
across the ocean
Experience in this country has
shown that cottonseed meal is not a
good feed for very young calves, or in
large quantities for bulls. It can be
fed to the latter, however, in quaint

Mrs. Ida Ford lives In Cuba. Mo,

discovery Is one that many other Mis-

covery is simply this:-that 1t is no
longer necessary to disturb the deli

MONEY GOES FOR GROCERIES.

MONEY GOES FOR GROCERIES.
An interesting bit of testimony
comes from the section of Minnesota
which recently became dry through
what might be called an automatic
application Of prohibition to a region
where no election was held to settle
the question, namely, the enforcement
Of an old Indian treaty. Because OF
this action there is not now an open
saloon in Itasca county, and as a
result a marvellous reformation has
taken place. One year ago seventy
nine tons of beer were shipped In.
This year there was no beer. but the
books show that seventy-nine tons
more Of groceries were consumed at
this point than during the correspond
ing month Of last year. The Mime
apolis Journal says that the records
OF the mining companies, which en-
ploy the large population Of foreign
ers, show fewer layoffs among the
men than ever before and the stores
report larger and more profitable busi-
ness from these employees.

In spite of tho oppressive heat of
Sunday the union service at Park
church was well attended The min
lister was the Rev. Charles Noble of
text the first verse of the fifth chap
ter of jeremiah: Run We to and fro,
through the streets of Jerusalem, and
see now and know, and seek in the
broad places thereof. if We can find a
man, If there be any that executeth
judgment, that seeketh the truth
Now in this search for a man, it is
evident that the prophet had in mind
not the ordinary conception Of the
word, but the deeper meaning of hu-
mainly. of manhood at it's best and
all that it stood for, and he defined
two of its characteristics, namely love
Of justice and seeking after the truth.
Action is implied and being that is
character.
Right and Wrong.
In taking up the first characteristic,
justice, we Immediately think of the
two sides of it, the approval of right
and the contempt of wrong, the first
the positive, the second the negative
side. There are three important d.
reCtions justice takes, toward our fell
lowmen, toward ourselves and toward
God. We see the effort made to be
just to our fellOWmen in the reforms
we institute, in our system of tails,
and state and county homes and in
situations, in our establishment Of
courts and judges and in all our pub
lie and private charities. It is eE-
tremely difficult to be just; it is cas-
Ter to be kind, especially IN the closer
relations of life. Often the husband is
kind to his wife when Justice would
be better and is her due. The father
may be kind to his children without
considering what their rights are and
what they might in justice demand.

Sized egation-Explans the Deeper Meaning Of

How many Of US are just to, our
selves, striving always to hold. our
selves up to the best there is in US.
We tend to be severe to the faults
we have not and condone those we
possess. We concern ourselves solely
this world and forget. the higher realm
of spirituality. And we do not make
the most of ourselves.
God Known Through Christ.
God was made known to US in4Je-
sus Christ. How do we treatEthis
revelation? Our Indignation is 5stir-
red at the story of Christ's treatment
at the hands of Plate and the mob
and the denial of Peter, but lis he
not denied today? we turn away
from Him for one reason< or another.
perhaps because we do not fancy
someone with whom we may have, to
join in our common worship or we
now. In fact we are¬ seeking the
truth but'are intent onR our own pleas
ures and interests.
How great this conception of man
hood is. To be just and true! And
these include other things, among
them love and forgiveness, for we can
not be just unless we love nor can we
forgive without first loving. And how
broad is this ideal man. We have
been CuItiVating the tidea of national
ism but we should not stop theme. Big
ger than the idea of being an yAmeri-
can or of any Others nation Isl that of
being a man. If America could only
rise to this idea and bring. it home
to other nations how great would be
her mission. And all our ideals, .theo-
ries and Creeds might be summed UP
in that one ideal of perfect manhood,
Jesus was the perfect embodiment
of humanity through the incarnation
of divinity.

THE FOUR GREAT
BLESSINGS OFFBoOKS.
Camden Preacher Speaks oneInterest-

Church,

The four great blessings of books
was the theme of. the sermon delivered
Sunday evening" at the Central tBap-
fist church by Rev. Homer J. Tos-
burgh, D. D., Of Camden, N. ]. Rev.
Dr.. Vosburgh took his text from II
Timothy 4th chapter, 18th verse. Paul
writing these words was not only an
aged man but q prisoner, suffering
from injustice, said Rev. DR.. Vos-
burgh. st. Paul was not the only man
who loved books and liked to have
them around him. A man is known by
the company he keeps. Sometimes
company is fOrced4 on you. The books
a man reads are the books he picks
out. Books are not forced on lis.
One of the great blessings of books
is that they carry information. IN the
second place, they make available for
US all the results of time. Without
books practically every generation
would begin anew. The greatest con
tribution in the past has been in the
form Of books.
In the third place, they inevitably
enlarge the world in which we live
The world in which we live is sthe
realm Of thought, the knowledge land
experience which We have traversed.
IN the fourth place, books may be-
come to US a tremendous inspiration.
Rev DR.. VOsburgh also preached
the sermon at the morning service
Both morning and evening services
were well attended in spite OF the ex-
tremeIy warm day. Next Sunday
morning and evening the sermons will
be preached by Rev. c. NJ. Gallup, D.,
