GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
By ERNEST o. SELLERS
Director of Sunday School Course
Moody Bible Institute
THE TESTIMONY OF PROMI-
NENT EDUCATORS.

n S ONE would naturally expect,
"A there is the widest possible
range of testimony from leading
educators, college and university
presidents and pedagogical experts.
Some who look upon the work only
from the technical side and COM
pare it with secular education con-
denim the work most severely
while others, having equal expert
ence and taking into consideration
/ the handicaps under which it
works, commend in equally as
strong terms. Among such is Pres
\ ident M. L. Burton of Smith Col
l lege for Women. Professor Burton
! still treasures a gold medal which,
/ as boy, he received for five years
of perfect attendance at the Pill
grim Congregational Sunday school
of Minneapolis. He says: "a have
no hesitancy in saying that the
Sunday school was one of the
strongest of the influences making
for character and integrity which
have been brought to bear upon
my life. l wish it were possible
for me to convey fully my appre-
citation of the service so faithfully
and lovingly bestowed upon me at
that time. Unquestionably the
Sunday school lies at the basis of
Christian character and democrat
ic citizenship" True and lasting
democracy aVd genuine brother
hood of man is only possible as the
character of the citizen is trans
formed according to the ideals of
the Teacher of Nazareth.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler
of the University of California says
in a letter of recent date: "Since
my freshman days at Brown in
1871 until quite recently l have
taught in the Sunday school. It
has been serviceable to me in many
ways. OF course much time and
effort is wasted, but the overplus
of good in the form of associations
and spirit to those who have had
the good fortune to be regular at
tendants upon Sunday school
classes far outweighs any such
loss" Professor Wheeler knows
the limitations and realizes the
weaknesses of this work, but still
is aware of the contribution being
made and is lending his aid and
counsel in solving these problems,
hence he is one who has a right to
speak about the Sunday school, and
to whose opinion we should give
careful and respectful attention.

Little
Humphrey
By
EVA MAY CAMERON



Copyright. 1916. by w. G. Chapman)
A second-rate theater dominated by
third-rate actors-dingy, old-fashioned
but doing some business, mostly by
producing frayed and time-worn plays
and, therefore, able to secure the
props" scenery and costumes dirt
cheap.
Gabriel Dyke had oeen an actor
once, mostly in 'supe" parts. His
stronghold, however, was in the
prompter and stage managing line.
Now he had settled down as prop
erty man of the Bijou, salary fair, am
bition dead, accepting life as it came,
but far from happy.
There was a romance in the life of
Gabriel and it may soon be told. He
had welded a star-petite, petted Myra
Scott. She was bright, vivacious
creature, even at eighteen taking
strictly Juvenile parts. For a year
they led happy life in this same
great bustling city. A little child was
born to them, puny, angelic-faced
little fellow, Humphrey. Then there
was a bitter quarrel between hus-
band and wife. Myra was high strung.
Gabriel came home one night to find
wife and child gone and a note inform
ing him that all was over between
them.
Myra did not come back. Gabriel
had heard that she had gone to the
coast with stock company after
placing little Humphrey in charge of
her relatives. He did not follow her.
Time went on. He became Injured to

A NATIONAL CALAMITY.

II have believed in the regulation
not the prohibition of the liquor traf
fic," says DR.. Lyman Abbott but the
action of liquor dealers has made
regulation impossible"
The secretary of the Ohio Temper
ance Union Ga liquor organization
wrote to Doctor Abbott asking for a
letter which could be used in the state
prohibition campaign. Doubtless he
is sorry he did it. The reply came as
an open letter in the Outlook and is
a severe arraignment of the saloon as
pensities have, in the judgment of
Doctor Abbott, been it's undoing. We
quote:
"The American people are charac-
teristically conservative and slow in
coming to conclusion. But they are
coming to the conclusion, though
slowly, that the American saloon is
not only local nuisance but ma
tional calamity and are resolving to
abolish it.

1T is not, Is moderate drinking
wrong?
1T is not, Does the Bible prohibit
or permit moderate drinking?
'"These questions the people would
prefer to leave each individual free
to determine for himself.
But they are not willing to leave
each individual to determine for him
self whether the laws enacted by the
community shall be obeyed. That
question the community will decide,
and it will suffer any inconvenience,
any deprivation, which may be neces-
sary to secure such obedience. This
is the meaning of the present prohibit
tory movement.
"But if the people are compelled to
choose between an unregulated and
lawless liquor traffic and the prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic, l do not
doubt that they will choose prohibit
ton. If we cannot reform the saloons,
we shall abolish them. And if we can
find no other way to abolish them, we
shall abolish the distillery, the brew
cry, the winery and the importation
of liquor from abroad"

TO THOSE WHO
BORROW OF OR
DEPOSIT IN
BANKS

The first element of safety in
conducting Banks is sound bust
ness judgment in placing loans.
A man may be a good lawyer,
a good physician, a good teacher,
and yet be entirely unreliable and
unsafe as Bank director.
The President Of Bank ought
to be man of ripe experience,
of unerring judgment as to values
and credits and of a naturally
conservative makeup or mental
tendency.
But that isnot all. He should
be courteous and painstaking,
always ready and willing to as
sist the borrower to bring his
securities into such shape that
hecan be accommodated without
either violation of law or i'm
periling the Banks safety.
No Banks ever try harder to
take care of those who come to
them for banking accommodate
tions than the two Hyde Park
Banks.
If the security or names offered
are good and comply with the
requirements of law and banking
rules, the managers of the Hyde
Park Banks always endeavor to
provide the funds.
Persons who wish to borrow
are assured not only of courteous
treatment but of the very best
efforts of the managers of these
two Banks to INTERPRETATIONS
for loans successful.
The Banks solicit applications
from those who wish to borrow,
and they will endeavor to see to
it that those who apply forloans
are not, turned empty away, if
their paper is, or can be made,
lawful and good.
Remember that the Hyde Park
Banks regard themselves prop
er Intermediates between those
who wish to borrow and those
who have money to loan. They
exist to serve the public.
The Hyde Park Banks are
never short of money to Vermont
for loans.
During the two panics through
which they have passed, those of
1898 and 1907, they not only
met the demands of every depos-
tor who wished to withdraw
his money without a moments
notice. but they had money in
to loan to every YER
nonter who wished to borrow
and was able to offer lawful
paper.
This is a broad statement, but
he Hyde Park Banks have assets
agereeating over $3,50O,OOO,
ind the Hyde Park Savings Bank
S the largest Bank in the world
n a country village.
If you have money to place on
leposit, send it to Hyde Park.
f you wish to make a loan, bor-
ow of the Hyde Park Banks.
n either case you will be well
reated.

Alcohol puts to sleep the sentinels

Wholesome Food

Did you ever consider what diff ference there Is in biscuits, cake, mullins, etc., made with Royal Baking Powder and those made with cheaper baking powders containing alum or phosphate Royal Baking Powder is made with Cream of Tartar derived from grapes, a delicious healthful fruit and that is why 1t produces food of superior texture, wholesomeness and keeping quality. Alum and phosphate are derived from mineral acids, and the only reason for using such substitutes for Cream of Tartar is because their cost is very much less to the manufacturer.
 Remember this when buying baking powder and be guided by the label on the can, which gives the names of all the ingredients.

A Dozen Good Tips to PouItrymen.

Mr.. Poultryman, if you take pride in
marketing good eggs at good price,
consider the following.
Do not keep mongrel stock. They
are not high producers, and their eggs
are not uniform as to size and color.
Keep laying hens separated from
setting hens.
Gather eggs carefully in warm wea-
ther twice daily.
Insist that your buyer candle and
grade your. eggs and that he pay a
premium for "firsts" over seconds"
You cannot afford to produce the best
and take flat case count" price
along with the producers of small, dir
ty, stale, inferior eggs.
The sale of infertile incubator eggs
will never help you to establish
higher market price for your product
Separate the male birds from the
flock except during the breeding sea
son. Fertile eggs are poor keepers.
Keep nests free from filth and pro-
vide plenty of them. 1t is the foul,
dirty, unattractive nest that compels
the hen to seek the weeds or some
other undesirable place.
Market eggs in a standard egg case
Never haul to town over rough roads
or in an open basket or pan exposed
to the hot sun.
You will have the largest number of
''firsts' if you market at least twice
week.
In keeping eggs, provide a dry, COOL
well ventilated place. Fertile eggs
must be kept below 6s degrees to alb
solutely check termination.
Never wash eggs, it destroys their
keeping qualities
Eggs are easily affected by bad od-
ors. Do not keep in a musty grain
bin, or in the vegetable cellar, or
where they can absorb the odors of
kerosene and gasoline.-C. S. Ander-
son, Colorado Agricultural College,
Fort Collins, Colo.

Il. r. Meredith.-If the wheat grow
ers held the key to the great terminal
elevators wherein are stored millions
OF bushels of the farmers grain. they
could demand fair price and get it:
But they do not happen to hold the
key Long before the grain gets to
these terminals the farmers have ceas-
ed to have any ownership in 1t. But
the grain growers can hold the key to
the elevators on the farms and can
thus wait until the price suits them
before selling. The strange thing is
that one handred per cent do not have
granaries or farm elevators so as to
hold their own grain. instead OF sell.
ing for spectators to make profit.
Some one will suggest that the far
mer's notes fall due at harvest time
and he must sell. although he may
desire to hold; But why can't far
mer afford to borrow on stored grain.
especially when prices are low and
prospects good for stiff advance?

Black stem in Alfalfa.

The following, from a letter by
County Agriculturist H. H. Simpson,
of Boulder county, to the farmers of
his district, will be of interest all over
Colorado. Mr.. Simpson refers to black
stem blight and has been assisted in
reaching his conclusions on the sub
ject by Prof. w. G. Sackett, bacterio-
logist. of the Colorado Agricultural
college:
Last year your attention was call
ed to the presence of black stem blight
and many farmers cut their fields,
which stopped the further develop
ment and allowed the plants to start
new shoots Immediately. Those who
cut early report very good later cut
tings and some got three good crops
for the season following this early clip
ping.
IF your alfalfa appears to have a
touch of frost or to be suffering from
too much water, or too little, examine
it carefully, for the chances are that it
- tuiS ulstdSt- lTue lTOSI damage
has more of white to light straw
color, and is usually on top of the
plant. 1t is true that many of our
fields have been injured by frost and
some are getting dry, but blight is
really doing the great damage, and
farmers should not deceive themselves
in believing it is something else. The
sooner we face the situation as it is,
the less will be the drain on your farm
income
Prompt action must be taken in
order to prevent damage to the alfalfa
and in order to secure "a good yield
this year. Past experience has shown
that the only safe method is to go in
at once and cut the alfalfa. This will
result in the starting of the next crop
at once and If this is done promptly,
we may still get three cuttings. All
growth in the diseased stem stops and
nothing is gained by leaving field
stand. Cutting at once may also pre-
vent the disease going into the crown.
which usually results in the death OF
the plant within a year or two"
