Though occasional visits may keep
the spark of faith from being extin-

many years jealous priests have been
travelling through this country max

six hundred miles, visiting small
groups of Catholics here and there
along their routes, and imparting to
them as much spiritual nourishment
as possible under the circumstances.
Some of our priests are still engaged
in ministering to several settlements
in this way. This system, though the
only feasible one in pioneer days, fails
to give satisfactory results in the
changed conditions of today. In spite

The change would be exceedingly
popular with the general public. The
quietness of the electric horse, the
absence of snortings of steam and
belchings of coal dirt, are aprreciat-
ed. 1t is said that suburbanites
along electrified roads have to buy
alarm clocks, as the silent new trains
don't wake them up. The injury to
houses and house furnishings by soft
coal smoke is a big item in national
waste. If the railroads save some
thing by hanging on to ancient steam
equipment, they may do so merely by
taking it out of the people along the
road, who have to paint and refur-
nish houses oftener.
But the man who denounces rail-
road dirt most sharply might never
buy an equipment bond TO help put
in electricity. When you consider
that the estimated cost of electrify-

TO LIGHT STATUE OF LIBERTY.
Movement Is Started in New York
BY People on East Side
Donate Funds.

New York, June 1.-The great
east side moved concertedly yester-
day to put it's enthusiasm and it's
money behind the plan to illuminate
the statue of Liberty.
The East Side Protective associa-
ton held meeting at its headquar-
tiers, No. ~ Pitt street, and made
plans for "Americanization week, :"
beginning with Flag day, June IA.
Harry H. Schlacht, president of the
association, originator of the boy and
girl police, and leader in many other
movements for the betterment of
New York's foreign-born citizens, in
vited to this meeting large number
of east side business men.
THE statue of Liberty means
more to our people than to any other
Americans" Mr.. Schlacht told his
hearers. Every nationality and race
of the east side was represented,
and the speaker was interrupted fire.
quently with hearty applause.
1.-The great statue that the people
of France gave to the people Of
America" continued Mr.. Schlacht,
twas the first emblem of liberty that
we or our fathers and mothers looked
for on approaching this gateway of
opportunity. 1t is the most widely
known object in all America. The
most unlettered immigrant coming 70
America has heard of the great bene-
ficient figure that stands guard over
this land of his hearts desire.
Can the foreign born American
do anything more fitting to show his
appreciation of the privileges that
this country bestows upon him than
to help in the movement inaugural
ed and sponsored by the New York
World to illuminate the statue of
Liberty every night for future gen.
erations of immigrants seeking these
hospitable shores?
"Since the World announced the

plan to raise 100000 to provide
lighting plant, have talked with the
people of the east side; with the
moor and with the well-to-do. Never
has their sentiment been touched so
deeply. They want to help in this
movement. They will do so if we
provide leadership. They will give
their pennies and their dimes-and
many of them their dollars-but we
shall have to provide the means of
collecting them"
Mr.. Schlacht outlined plan, which
was adopted, providing for parades
and demonstrations beginning with
Flag day celebration in Seward
park. There 10000 east side chill
dren will be drilled to form great
American flag. Children will be ap-
pointed to collect pennies for the
liberty illumination fund-all to be
turned in to the World, which will
account publicly for the subscrip-
tons, and print the name of every
giver, large or small.
I'VE aim to make this movement
on the east side an inspiration to bet
ter citizenship-to true American
! ISM" said Mr.. Schlacht II know of
nothing that has offered such an OPP
portunity for impressing lessons Of
liberty upon our foreign born popu-
lations as does this movement to
make the light of liberty shine night
! ly. This is not to be the work of
any one nationality; it is for all who
have come here from any foreign
country. BY their giving to this fund
they can show their gratitude to the
country of their adoption

SUCH is LIFE.

While o1e-half, bejabbers, tolls
steady and labors, the rest of the
world Tolls in ease. And when we
feel happy, our neighbors are scrap
by and do just about as they please.
And gosh; amt it funny? Some peo-
pie have money and Others can't
scare up a dime. Some mortals are
lucky, while others, real plucky lose
out every dodgasted time! Some laugh
long and loudly-some strut with
Jnein proudly and others are checking
wealthy, quite seldom are healthy
and healthy folks lack the green
stuff. If half the world knoweth not
what this half doeth-a funny old
world it is sure. It's full of the
toilers, the croks and spoilers-the
honest the rich and the poor. Now
why should a favored old guy, mo-
ney savored, Toll round big limous-
inc? And why, should another, his
pOOI luShiSoo uIOlhSlJ CiSdh oti CSto
for small pack of green? And
why should poet "a poor unwise
know it") write verse for the price
of a prune-while others will squan-
der the coin as they wander and live
in perpetual June? 1t does seem un-
equal; but bark to the sequel-its
time that finished this rhyme. One
lives by his workings-the other his

THE IOWA HEN.
May Her Sun Never Set-And TO
Date He Never Has.

Absolutely accurate figures on the
poultry and egg industry of the state
are, of course, impossible to secure,
but from the best estimates given it
is plain that the Iowa hen is fe-
male of vast Importance to the state.
Her LAY" is liberal one as we'll as
tuneful Estimated by the popular
and acceptable unit of measurement,
the dollar, it amounts to more than
the annual wheat crop of the state,
of which cereal Iowa produces good
many bushels. Rack in 1903 Uncle
Sans census enumerates claimed to
have counted Iowa hens and their
product. The latter was estimated
at 103,273,505 dozen. Whether the
job was too strenuous or whether for
lack of time, there appears to have
been no count made since, later sta
tisticians either accepting the 1909
count or simply contenting them
selves with estimates" which, to be
accurate, is more or less guesswork;
however, guesswork is all right
when it hits.
In 1912 the assessors of Iowa es-
timated the number of poultry upon
the farms of the state July 1st at
36,O92, 390-shall we say souls or
birds? That included all varieties,
chickens, turkeys. ducks, etc. The
egg yield for that same year was es-
timated at 97,549,731 dozen. Strik-
ing a sort of average between the
1909 count and the 1912 estimate we
may assume the annual lay of the
Iowa hen to be 100,000,000 dozen
fresh eggs, and if she accomplished
that six years ago we know she is
doing no less today. Today, reliev-
ed and emancipated CD from nu-
merous maternal duties by the evo-
luton of the incubator and broOder,
she is enabled to devote her entire
time and attention to the duty of the
hour, egg production.
One hundred million dozen eggs in
a single heap would be sight worth
seeing. Just for the purpose of fanci-
full figuring, let us imagine the good
people of Iowa denying themselves
their customary soft boiled" and
their ham and" for a period OF
twelve months. Let them also ac-
cept their johnny-cake and cusard
pies eggless during the interim, that
the entire output of eggs may be sent
into the market of the world. Now
an ordinary shipping case of eggs
contains thirty dozen. Four hundred
cases make a carload. At this rate
the reader will observe that it would
require more than 5000 cars to haul
a single years crop of eggs to mar
ket. 1t seems incredible of belief,
but figures tell the truth. This is by
no means as fanciful, either, as it
sounds; instead it is an array of
facts. That many eggs are actually
produced each year and the people
of the state receive their actual value
in one way or another. Long live the
Iowa hen! May her sun never set
and to date he never has.

ing the Boston suburban district
alone, a comparatively small dis
trict, was $30,O00,O00, the enormous
capital required for a wholesale
change is apparent. 1t could take
place only in a period of great rail-
road prosperity, when the companies
were satisfied with their earnings and
rates, and confident of public support
and future growth.
The change will come, though the
present generation won't see main
tenance, and operation. The old type
locomotive must often be kept under
steam a long time in anticipation of
possible demands that don't occur. 1t
looks poor policy for roads to load
up heavily on steam engines without
taking steps toward installing pow
er that once completed, is operated
more cheaply.
