New York. oct. 3-Engfand appears

plan proposed by the American League
to enforce peace to maintain world
peace after the war, in the opinion of
William H. Taft, president of the

Portland, Me, Oct. 3.-Not only was
Hon. Carl f. Milliken of Island Falls.
Governor elect, given magnificent re-
ception when he rose to speak before
the United Baptist convention of Maine
Tuesday morning, but he delivered a
stirring address as president in which
he threw out strong challenge to the
denomination in this State
I'VE cannot overlook the fact that
we are all taking part in what is
historic occa sion" said Mr.. Miliken.
I'VE are present at the first United
Baptist convention of Maine. 1t is
magnificent organization and we have
plenty OF organization: now what?
That is what history is going to ask
Of us. We must remember that we live
III historic time. In the most porten
tous time in the worlds history since
Christ came When across the sea men
are fighting each other in fearful war
lAre, men are asking if ChristiaSity
has tailad; whether religion is simply
veneer on the surface.
America Must Be Ready
We know that America in the days
to come must face this task, that she
must be ready to lead in those things
which will realize human brotherhood
in the world. No one can fail to realize
the sober responsibility we face as q
nation. What Is our part in preparing
for this? That should be our great
question and in every conference we
hold under our new organization ii
should be our purpose to make our
contribution to the realization of the
task,
Let us remember that no contribu-
ton will be felt in these services which
we seek to render unless there is first
turned upon US power from the great
source above. All organization or
equipment alone Will be useless; let US
remember that we need connection with
the power above, but fine that is it
will be useless unless we have contact
with the social and civil LIES need.
The life of the twentieth century church
must reach out horizontally to men
and women as well as reach up per-
pendicularly to God With one hand
in the hand Of our heavenly Father the
other should reach out to our fellow
men"
Citizenship to the Fore
Referring to the present war in the
United States the governor-elect said :
we are in danger that this flood of
gold will break down our civilization.
Americas goal must not be that of
force The great solution of the prob
lens our country faces must be in
terms of citizenship; in terms of char
acter. Don't think because YOU go back
to the little community YOU cannot be
of service There is nothing finer than
the contribution TO the wholesome char
/ acter of the future citizen.
The church holds the key which will
| unlock the problem of the community
and by this | do not lose sight of the
good that is being done by those out

creature cat really is, until you have
seen it taking a. bath, with all its
beauty and pride gone. And because
the bathtub takes away its beauty and
pride, which are all there Is to cat, 1t
does not like water.
Naturally, the more beauty and pride
a cat has, the more Is taken from 1t,
and an Angora cat in it's bath is the
most piteous of creatures. Suppose,
for example, a cat that is all golden
fur, from the orange gold satin of its
back and feathered tail to the cream
gold velvet Of it's paws. To be sure, IT
has eyes. golden green ones. clean and
contented, and it has pink nose, and
ears with yellow tufts in them. But
eyes and ears and nose are so small,
and the fluff and ruff Of the cat are so
large that in truth it is nothing but fur
and pride. Take it again-in the bath.
Soap it, scrub it, souse it. And then
hold it up by the back of the once ruff
fled neck. 1t is misshapen, shiny ana
slippery, with red hair sticking to its
thin sides. It's eyes bulge out, but there
Is no contented light in them. no pride.
no hope, and certainly no affection.
It's tail is string. There is no fluff,
no ruff, no beauty-nothinG but cat

In most cases where studies Of the
profits in farming have been made, par
ticularly in our oldest agricultural dis
t1cts, such studies indicate that the
most successful farms are those which
have from two to four major sources of
income, i. e.. they have a well balanced
and diversified business. In certain in
stances 1t may pay better to have only
one enterprise. but usually when one
crop pays much better than all others.
the production of it increases rapidly
and soon the price falls to the point
where other crops or products are
equally as profitable Diversified farm
ing is often confused with farming
where there is little of everything and
not much of anything. Either extreme
lessons the chances of success. When
the price of certain crops is very low
then livestock usually becomes desira-
BILE. However, if the returns of an an
imal are poor, cash crops, even at low
price, are essential. A we'll balanced
business insures against losses and pro-
vides much better utilization of the
labor and equipment.

"BABY BANDIT" LOSES FAITH.
He Waited in Vain for the Mysterious
Jail DeIiverv


For two whole days the 11-year- Id
baby bandit" who tried to hold up the
Robbinsdale State Bank, waited in the
county Jail for stone in the wall of
his cell to move.
He didn't know just which stone It
would be, so he watched 'em all, and the
bricks too. For all of that time he re-
manned steadfast in his belief that the
stone would ultimately move. that a
mysterious man would substitute a
stuffed dummy for the prisoner and that
the man would then whisk him away to
freedom.
The lisping boy prisoner confided this
to. Nels Clausen, jailer. The boy ex-
planned that his unwavering belief in
the moving stone. the mysterious man
and his certain escape from limbo was
based upon information given him by
the 14-year-old boy who was leader of
the trio of youthful would-be robbers
THAT was why I was so brave when
went into the bank and pointed the
pistol at the girls head" he confided
The other boy told me it wouldn't
make no difference if we did get caught.
than one night. nohow.
HE said real robbers never did, cause
a man always come in the middle of the
night and moved big stone in the Jail
and put stuffed suit of clothes in their
bed and then went out through the hole
where the stone used to be and nobody
never knew nothin about it.''-Minne-

PRAISE FOR Mr.. HUGHES.
Commended for Calling Halt on Cry of
- Fraud bv Party Leaders.

Mr.. Hughes has laid a restraining
hand on those party leaders and cam
paign directors who talked Of fraud and
threatened legal proceedings to deter
mine the result in close States. The
official count will be enough for Mr..
Hughes unless it can be shown that
court action Is necessary to decide the
validity Of disputed ballots on which
the choice Of electors may turn.
Mr.. Hughes is to be commended for
the promptness and the common sense
he has displayed. He knows as we'll as
anybody that fraud is no longer char
acteristic of American elections. He
knows. too. that official counts, general
ly speaking, increase rather than dimin-
ish the pluralities indicated on the face
of the returns. He is wiser than some
OF his disappointed supporters. and the
American people are correspondingly
indebted to him.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Nothing But Cat.

It is a pleasure to find out any sort
of a secret and the smaller the secret,
perhaps, the more pleasant it is to find
it hidden cleverly or carelessly away
among the larger and more obvious af-
fairs Of life. Now the real reason a cat
does not like water has long been a
secret. The discovery of that secret Is
interesting and profitable, and the tell
ing Of it is pleasant and sweet-to the
person who understands the vanity OF
the cat. A cat does not really amount
to much, and is not really of very much
good. A barn cat must eat rats ana
house cat must beg for bits from the
dinner table or for the scraps IN the
kitchen. A cat is never trusted and
never deserves trust. You may not
know 1t. but your cat will sleep on the
kitchen table and swing on the curtains
at night. A cat does not love and is
not loved except for the beauty of its
eyes, the softness OF Its fur. the grace
Of its beauty and the pretended affec-
ton Of its purr.
There you have it-the cat is a crea-
ture Of beauty and pretense. And for
these things 1t claims and receives

II looks like and poses for. The cat
