Giving Him Confidence.

1t was his first campaign, his first
political speech, even. Although the
county committee had sent him into
rural district 10 try out his eratorical
wings, he was encouraged by the warm
welcome of the local committee and
the elaborate preparations for the
meeting that were evident on all sides.
There was even band that played on
the stand In the public square for half
an hour before the speech. Finally the
great moment arrived. The chairman
stepped to the platform rail and ad-
dressed the crowd.
"Fellow citizens" he said, 1--WE have
with us today young man who Is des-
tined to make his mark in the ranks of
our party. He comes to tell us of the
burning issues that confront us, and
his fame as an orator has preceded
him. He will now address you, and
when he has finished the band will call
you together Ageln."-Youth's Com

IMMENSE STATUE OF BtDDHA
Unearthed In Burma by Chance, u Is
Easily the Largest Monument OF
Human Form In the East.

The largest monument Of the human
form existing In the east today, II not
In the world, is the great reclining
statue OF Buddha, near Pegu, In Bur
ma, around which the government has
now erected a building with lattice
steel pillars to protect 1t from the ele-
ments. This Colossus was brought to
light during the construction Of the
railway that runs northeast from Ran
COON to Mandalay, says the Wide
World. While the permanent way
was, being banked up to protect the
lines from occasional floods the engi-
neer in charge required for the pur-
pose Of his work a harder ballast than
the alluvial deposit over which the line
was running could give him. Less than
a mile away was tree-clad mound,
and here, II was thought, suitable ma
terial might be found. The task Of
clearing away some of the trees took
about an hour or so, and then shafts
were sunk 70 find the needed stone.
Before the diggers had gone down
more than yard they struck an enor-
mouse and fairly preserved figure OF
Guatama. In actual length the statue
is $50 feet ard so feet high at the
shoulder. The figure and its pedestal
are of brick, covered with plaster.
Since its discovery the plaster has
been renewed and painted over, the
box at the head and the finger nails
gilded and tire head decorated with
glass jewels. The statue is thought to
be about 500 years old, but no one
knows its history, no reference what
ever being made to it in Burmese le-
gends or traditions.

HARM BY SQUASH BUGS
No Poison Can BE Applied That Is e..
fectIve--Anythlna With Strong
odor viii Act as RepeIlant-
Keep Close Watch.

The squash bug attacks squashes,
pumpkins, cucumbers and such plants,
often running the crop In n day, IL
nothing is done to overcome them. No
poison can be applied that is effective,
as the insects work Is done on the
under side of the leaves where the poi
son will not reach. They also do their
work In the early morning while the
dew is still on the foliage. Anything
with a strong odor win act as re-
pellant, also material like air-slaked
lime or Underground land plaster will
have a marked effect In keeping them
away.
Careful watch should be kept for the
first appearance of the bugs. At the
first sign Of them, sprinkle the hills
with the dry material, on which Just
enough crude carbolic acid has been
sprayed to give the material a strong
odor. Quick action must be the watch
word. One day of delay means the loss
of the crops. Cantaloupe vines seem
particularly susceptible to the attacks
and they seem to succumb to the raw
ages Of the insects more quickly than
squashes and cucumbers.
There Is another remedy frequently
used, where it is obtainable, and Ii
gives excellent result. 1t Is fish scrap,

Life a Reign OF Terror.

In the American Magazine a writer
says:
For most men life is a modified
reign Of terror. Three fears get up
with them in the morning and go to
bed with them at night. They do not
confess to one another that they are
afraid; but their wives know.
"At night, after the children have
been sent to bed, they sit by the fire,
the average man and his wife, and face
their three fears:
"First, the fear of the loss of the Job,
Second. the fear of bad health.
Third, the fear Of a dependent Old
age"

Kidney Disorder
(BY DR. L. c. BABcocK)

Tho most simple methods are usually
the most effective ones when treating

The mere drinking a cup OF hot water

SOUTH SIDE PEOPLE DIS
CUSS DOMESTIC SCIENCE

The people of Lincoln Park and
South Canon accomplished much to-
wards the advancement of commun-
ity welfare, when, at a community
center conference at their high
school building last Friday evening,
they met to discuss important Ques-
tions connected with their school and
educatioal interests.
The gathering was an invitation af-
fair, arranged by the Parent-Teachers
association of the two communities
The guests of the occasion were the
members of the two organizations
alluded to, those of the Farmers
club and the Civic Improvement lea
que; making altogether a convention
of about two hundred people. They
assembled at 6 o'clock and We're
served with a hot dinner, which prov
ed a very enjoyable incident of the
evening They remained into the
night listening to the splendid pro-
gram and discussing matters relating
to material, intellectual and social
progress.
The question of introducing Domes-
tic science into the schools was the
most vital subject presented for con
sideration. While no definite under
standing was reached pertaining to
ned with the idea of getting it before
the people, and, in that respect, was
success. Illuminating talks were
made by Mrs. c. A. .Linkins and J. p.
Farmer upon the practical and finan-
cial sides of the question. Ralph r.
Jeffries, county agricultural agent,
and Mr.. Locke of Colorado Springs,
who holds a similar position in Ell
Paso county. were present and made
short addresses in support of the
movement and of the formation of
boys and girls clubs as contributory
organizations. Both of them empha-
sized the necessity of working with
the young people when results were
to be obtained, rather than with their
parents, who are slower, as rule, to
take up new ideas.
Several splendid musical numbers
were rendered during the evening;
among them THE Pilgrims chorus
by the Girls Choral club of the high
school; beautiful vocal solo by Miss
Clara Kissinger and an equally splen-
did selection by Miss Helen Kent.
These selections were given by the
students and the assemblage was in
deed proud 20 know and realize that
1t came from the representatives of
their high school. Mrs. Z. Woodland,
accompanied by the Misses Guessing
on the piano and violin. rendered.
"One Fleeting Hour" in a most de-
lightful masner. For an encore Mrs.
Woodard sang Brennan's Little Bit
of Heaven"
An entertaining talk was given by
Mrs. Mcneil in which she urged the
study of bird life in the schools She
related a number of interesting per-
sonal experiences bearing on the sub
ject and advanced many arguments in
substantiation Of her claim that the
community would be better on for
its further enlightenment upon the
topic.
Prof. C. B. Warner gave a demon
stration of the new stereopticon,
owned by the high school. and show
ed some interesting and instructive
slides in proof Of the value and eff
cheney Of the machine. He also des-
cribed the possibilities of the stereop-
ticon in school work. This conclud-
ed the program of a delightful meet
ing, and one that had gone a long
way in promoting ideal community
conditions.
