RETURN TO GOD. .

RETU URN TO GOD. - There are
many fundamental doctrines given
to us at the very commencement of
Gods dealings with man that are al
most forgotten now, but which we
must return to before we can ever
expect to get into favor with God.
The first is the law of circumcision
given to Abraham. That was given
for all time. God never changes His
laws. If He did He would not be a
perfect or safe ruler. Man changes
laws because they are imperfect and
often tries to set aside Gods laws las
the early Christians tried to excuse
the neWIy-conVeTted from Obeying
God in circumcisiOn.) God never ap-
proved of that action and requires
that man return to this law, for it's
observance will bring upon us the
blessing that is withheld from us by
disregarding it.
Then there are the ten command
ments. They simply won't bulge.
Men try to legislate and make it law
full to steal-as long as you don't get
caught; but it is stealing all the
same, and your~sin will find you out.
Wipe out all those Internal laws and
return to the laws of God.
God offers to take good care of
your body if you will observe His
laws. No disease will God allow the
devil to put upon you if you are true
to Him, and if you do fall prey to

Persian Grain.

Tho great arid wastes Of Persia
would lead one to believe that the
country does not produce sufficient
grain to supply the needs Of its poDu-
lation. Such, however, is not the case,
and considerable quantities of grain
are exported each year. The princi-
sal grains grown are wheat, barley
and rice Corn is planted in small
quantities, but is only used for roast
ing ears Oats and rye are seldom
sown. Except along the Caspian coast
Persian agriculture is dependent al
most entirely on irrigation. The agri-
cultural implements used in Persia are
of the most primitive kind. Plows ara
made from forks Of small trees with
the addition of a share Of iron. 1t Is
stated to be doubtful, however,
whether the yield of grain would be
greatly increased by using modern
ploWs, as there is no sod and this
crude implement seems to stir the soil
fairly well.

Quality Of AgreeabIeness.

To be agreeable is to have power.
A good and kindly manner is like cur
rent coin of the republic in all social
relations. We do not look askance at
It, we accept It as our due. 1t is the
uncurrcnt or clipped coin of bad or
brutal manners which we question or
refuse. In fact, we take the social
amenities so much for granted that
we are not half as grateful as we ought
to be when We are thrown with an
agreeable man or woman. The
chances in this unhappy and bedrag
gled world of ours | fear, are rather
against such happy experiences. We
have had so much experience Of short
coming in courtesy that we approach
q stranger with some misgivings and
are not as much surprised as we ought
to be If he turns out boor. So little
agreeable in common experiences are
a good many Of us that we lower the
average expectation for all humanity.

Quiet Enjoyment.

One of the arts Of life is to be able
to sit still and to enjoy. To the hur-
ried people it is an art almost un-
known. The reason is that their hur-
rying keeps the springs of being trod-
bled. Even in those moments when
they are forced to be still they feel
hurried The truth is that hurry has
become part OF their nature. They
sometimes reach the state where it
seems impossible for them ever to
know peace. The only peace they can
achieve is kind Of self-forgetfulness
in hurry. The more hurried they are
the greater their illusion of freedom.
Their hurry is like drinking or taking
drug.

plains Falkenhayn's position in Ru-
mania becomes precarious. There will
be danger of an outfanking effect sufti-
cient to cause a halt in the eastward
movement. A counter stroke in the
north would have been of no particu-
lar value before the Teutonic forces had
swept far into Rumania. But now, with
Falkenhayn's advance almost at Bucha-
rest, he will be imperiled by any cross
ing of the Carpathians, however far
north, as this, if followed by an entry
into the plain regions west Of the noun
tains, would leave him ain the air"
It may be that Russia's heaviest con-
tribution to Rumania's suceor will thus
come through an operation apparently
wholly detached from the campaign
against Bucharest. The dispatches de-
scribe the onset in the mountains as be.
ing on the largest scale of anything yet
by Russia. The season is
for mountain work and the
conditions favor the Teutons, yet thus
far successes are reported from Petro-
grad. Ina few days results may begin
to show, unless, as in some of the other
Russian movements, the attack flags
after the first furious advance.

There are others, on both sides. It
was a great battle, fought on new lines
under new alignments, and, therefore,
one Of many surprises. Many men were
in doubt to the end as to what the poll
ing would show; and the early returns
found the democrats Of the east as quick
to concede as the republicans to claim
a republican victory. This made it dou-
bly, hard for the losers when the facts
came out; but nearly all lost well.

Horizontal Increases.

The only way to deal equitably in the
matter of a raise in the government
clerks pay is to decree horizontal in
crease of certain percentage for all
grades of workers, perhaps below one Of
the higher salary points. There should
be no scaling or proportionate increases.
This is not the time for readjustments
and rcclassifications such as are con-
templated as result of the work of the
efficiency commission now engaged in q
scientific study of the departmental
work. The briefest survey Of the gov
ernment wage circulation demonstrates
conclusively that the scale is too low.
The mere fact that it has stood for
more than half a century, with only one
organic change, and that for but years
space, is reason enough for laying new
foundation for any detailed changes
that may result from this general study
of working conditions.
A horizontal increase is necessary be-
cause everything else save the pay OF
the government clerks has increased
horizontally in cost. In no line of the
needs of life is the scale of prices as
low as it was when the rate of govern
ment pay~was established. Everybody
is living better, spending more, and un-
der greater obligations to spend than
Al a1x-ov vn{a
comforts have multiplied. 1t is impos
sible for man to maintain family
now at the same scale as half century
ago for the same cost.
This condition Of increased living cost
does not pertain to the immediate pres
ent, marked by extraordinary price ad-
vances Apart from the abnormal costs
of today. the whole scale of living e1-
pense is higher. Even in the depths of
bad times, when prices are lower, the
salaried employe has a hard time max

Good Losers,

In all walks of life, but particularly
in politics, the good loser has always
been admired and praised. Mr.. Taft a
few years ago received many compli-
ments on that score. After his defeat
in 1912 he uttered no reproaches, wore
no mourning. The people had given,
and the people had taken away, and he
still praised the people. He returned to
private station, took up duties in line
with his taste and training, and became
a toast wherever he went. And his popu-
larity continues. He has attention and
gets the glad hand from all audiences.
There are some good losers now on
view. Consider Thomas Taggart. He
had hopes of remaining in the Senate.
His reliance and that Of his friends
could not have been stronger in a ma
chine which had done notable service
He has bowed to the decision without a
murmur A story that he would contest
the election WAS promptly denied in his
name. There are still cakes and ale in
the Hoosier commonwealth for Mr.. Tag
CART, and he will enjoy them.
Consider William f. McCombs. After
nearly four years Of partial obscurity,
he swan into the spotlight again. Tam
many Hall nominated him for United
States senator, and the Wilson admins
tration indorsed the nomination. Sue
cess would mean good deal to man
of his age and ambition. But he lost.
Not word Of complaint, however, has
escaped him. He is taking his medicine
with a composure too complete to be
affected. Evidently good loser.
Consider George w. Perkins. Mr..
Perkins was not candidate for Office.
He was helping others. But his heart
was very much enlisted, and he worked
early and late in the campaign. His
part was to round up bull moosers, and
guide as many as possible back to the
| old reservation In the east he had
much success; but in the west his call

Hiram Maxim.

Hiram Maxim's achievements in
science and invention covered a wide
field, but he is chiefly remembered for
his most notable production, the auto
matte rapid-fire gun. This weapon, in
vented in 1884, marked a new advance
in military equipment, so great that it
was seriously debated in parliament
whether the gun was justifiable as a
weapon of civilized warfare. Though
other weapons of this type have ap-
peared since, the essential principle of
the Maxim gun, that Of utilizing the re-
coil in the discharge of successive shots,
remains virtually the same in all auto
matte guns. In another direction Maxim
scored an advance in military science
through his invention of smokeless pow
der, his being the first explosive of that
type to be brought to the point of prac-
teal availability. These two achieve
ments, the automatic rapid-fire gun and
smokeless powder, were the most notable
Of this remarkably in
ventive brain. In the field of aviation
Maxim was a pioneer, his first heavier
than air flying machine actually rising
from the ground with driver and pas
senger in 1894, nine years before the
Wrights developed their first practicable
airplane. In respect to aviation, Maxim
was somewhat in the class with Langley,
whose machine was practicable, but
failed in its first test through fault in
the launching device. Maxim's scientific
formulas were of value to the subse-
auent workers in this field. In the in
dustrial arts Maxim was prolific in his
and discoveries and contrib
uted richly to the worlds resources
through his perfection of processes and
evolution of new modes of utilizing ma
terials. He was wonderful man, one
of the foremost scientists Of the period
and it is a matter of regret that he left
his native land to become a citizen of
England, though Americans have always
felt proud of his achievements and of
the honors that were bestowed upon him
by his adopted country.

Russia's New Offensive.

The strategy of the Balkan campaign
becomes more interesting with each
movement. Three distinct pressures are
now being exerted in the Rumanian
deld and two in the Macedonian.
Against Rumania the armies Of Ger
many, Austria and Bulgaria are operat-
ing, one force from the west under Fal-
kenhayn rapidly pushing the defense
eastward as the line of invasion nears
Bucharest, the other under Mackensen
holding the Dobrudja, after consider
able penetration, against combined
Russian and Rumanian line Now in the
Carpathians heavy Russian forces are
moving westward, driving for breach
of the Teuton line as a means Of reliev-
ing the pressure in Rumania. In Mace
donia British force is working slowly
northward in conjunction with a com
bined force of French, Serbs and Ital-
dans farther west, which has taken
Monastir. and at last reports was es-
tablishing a strong line to the north of

'erations have had no effect upon the Ru-
nanian campaign, being too far re-
moved. But the new Russian aggressive
