Rev. Charles Edwin Hamilton Re-
Gently Of Rochester. N. ", Ar
rives In 0enison.
MEMBERS ARE WELL PLEASED
New Minister Of Pleasing Appearance
Fluent and Forceful Speaker.
Makes Many Friends.

Rev. Charles Edwin Hamilton, the
new Baptist minister, occupied the
Baptist pulpit for the second time on
Sunday last, and the congregation,
both old and young, was exceedingly
win pleased with his efforts. He is q
gentleman of very pleasing address,
fluent and fOrceful speaker, and one
whom we believe will add new zest
and enthusiasm to the work of the
church.
Mr.. Hamilton is man IS years Of
age, Is married and his wife and little
girl are expected to join Mr.. Hamilton
as soon as their household goods ar
rive from New York state. He Is the
son Of q farmer. living near Charlton,
Iowa, and graduated from Homes
academy at Mt. Pleasant; also from
Central college, Pella, and from Ro-
chester Baptist seminary at R0ches-
ter. N. y. While attending Central
college he held q pastorate at that
place and was pastor at South Livonia,
N. Y, during his seminary course at
Rochester. He comeSst to Denison we'll
equipped for the work. and being q.
young man. is full of enthusiasm over
the future of our young people and
his sermons preached thus far have
had that strength and depth Of spir-
ituality SO satisfying to the older
people.
Renewed interest among the Bap.
lists is being manifest and the out
look for both minister and congrega-
ton is very encouraging. The Re.
view joins with the citizens and min
listers Of the city in extending cor
dial welcome to Rev. Hamilton and
his family, and trusts the new home
and work will be congenial and
profitable spiritually, socially and
otherwise.

WHERE THE HORSES GO.

Being Taken to the Battle
~ fields Of Europe. 81 as

Many people wonder where all the
horses that are being bought up by
the buyers are taken to. and what
eventually becomes Of them. Dowr
at Lathorp, MO, a short distance from
Kansas City, there are more than 81,
600 head OF horses and 5000 mules
'mebilized' for future use. They
have been bought throughout the mid
die west and concentrated at Lath.
rop, where they have the best of feed
and care to prepare them for the long
journey by land and sea, and to tit
them for subsequent strenuous serv.
ice on or near the battlefields.
Deaths among the stock runs some.
times to more than 100 per day,
especially during unfavorable wealth.
err Everything is kept under strict
est sanitary regulations, with quaran.
tine and other divisions for the diff.
ferent grades, classes and conditions
of animals.
There are the best veterinarians
and other specialists, with guards, de-
tectives and other employees. over
all of which strict military discipline
and system are enforced, the same as
for protecting great supply camps
against spies or desperate adventur-
ers intent on mischief.
1t takes 100 four horse wagons to
deliver the feed every day to the stock
at Lathrop. They have put in a lake
that cost 100000 to furnish pure,
filtered water; hospital for sick and
horses is one of the great
and there are at this time
more than 600 head of horses there.

Spray 10 Avoid siennia, Crop.

"A noticeable feature In connection
with this years apple crop" says a
member Of the horticultural depart
nfent at Ames, lis the fact that most
home orchards are wofully unproduc
tive compared to commercial orchards
of the state. Last year this was not
SO much the case, which means that
home orchards for the most part are
producing only a biennial crop"
\ The secret is, that for an annual
crop the orchard must be annually
sprayed. If up to date spraying and
pruning practices are unknown in a
certain neighborhood, a request to the
agricultural extension department at
Iowa State college will bring demon
stration in that line to that neighbor.
hood next spring, but on account
of the heavy demand for such it
should be arranged for now.
The experiences of H. M. Underwood
who owns an orchard at Bagley,
speaks for itself. He called for such
demonstration last year. This fall.
for the first time, his orchard has re-
turned substantial profit Mine other
orchards were treated this year by the
extension department and they tell
precisely the same storyrF {.

When several women In his, audi.
ence sought to leave as he denounced
dances as the cause OF the downfall
OF many girls, Evangelist +. J. For.
sythe ordered the doors locked and
guarded and refused to listen to APP
peals to open them until he had fin
ished his sermon. Forsythe declared
that the modern dance is degrading.
that it Is used only as means of ex-
citing the passions of both sexes, and
that no girl who INDUCED in the dance
could leave the dance hall with the
same degree OF modesty as before she
entered. "The modern dance is a
snake rassle'," said Forsythe.

Farm Telephone Needs Care.

No one is more dependent on the
telephone than the farmer, unless 1t Is
the farmers wife, and when the rural
telephone gets out of 'order it is a
calamity for it means isolation from
town and neighbors. This condition
often lasts for weeks simply because
OF lack of knowledge as to the care
of the telephone or because OF neglect.
BY following few rules nearly all
such inconvenience may be avoided,
says the associate professor OF cleo
trical engineering at Iowa State col
|lege. &. 81
l. Keep the telephone clean inside
and out. Dust and moisture permit
current leakage between wires and
make conversation less clear.
2. Do not remove mOuthpiece from
trRnsmitter. 1t is carefully designed
to feed the sound waves to the trans
mitter diaphragm most effectively.
g.. Do not leave the receiver on the
switch hook when telephone is not in
use. 1t ruins the dry batteries.
4. II the telephone fails to operate
we'll do not jar or pound it. This will
do no good. but may break a delicate
part.
5. If the crank will not turn easily,
do not force it. 1t is probably due to a
ground on the telephone line and fore
ing it is likely to injure the generator.
g. The telephone lines should be
we'll insulated with glass insulators,
kept clear of the ground and in par
ticular should not touch branches or
leaves of trees, else it will be impos
sible to talk in wet weather.
7. Pay the central Office the small
fee, in addition to switching charges,
to cover the cost OF maintaining the
telephone and line. The attention OF a
trained lineman will make good serv-
ice possible all the time.
