GRATITUDE

A missionary in Korea tells this
touching story of a poor Koreans
gratitude for the Gosepl:
One day travelling with a colpor-
teur we came to a river whose bridge
had been swept away. The water
was deep and the current was swift.
We were afraid to wade through and
so we knelt down at the rivers side
and asked Gods guidance. As we
rose from our knees we saw a man
coming toward us. He was the first
to speak, and offered to show us
where the water was shallower and to
help us across. As | sat with him on
the bank at the other side, he said {:
"You do not seem to recognize me. "
did not, and asked him where we
had met. Some months ago" he said,
Eve met in an inn, and you exhorted
me to believe In Jesus so that my soul
might be saved. l followed you from
the village today thinking might
have your life if you tried to cross
the river"

BRANDEIS FINALLY CONFIRMED
AS SUPREME COURT JUSTICE

Washington, June THE Senate to-
day confirmed the appointment Of
Louis D. Brandeis, of Massachusetts,
as Justice of the Supreme Court OF
the United States by vote Of AZ to 90
The vote was taken without debate
forty-four Democrats and three Re-
publicans voting for confirmation and
twenty-one Republicans and one Dem
ocrat voting against confirmation.
The three Republicans who support
cd the appointment were Norris, of
Nebraska; Poindexter, of Washington,
and LaFollette, Of Wisconsin. Senator
Newlands, of Nevada, was the only
Democrat who opposed the Presidents
selection.
Senator Harding, of Ohio, voted
against the confirmation. Senator
Pomercne. who is in Ohio, was paired
with Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts
who with other New England Senators,
was against the confirmation of the
former Boston lawyer. Both of the
Kentucky and the Indiana Senators
voted for confirmation, as did Senator
Chiffon. of West Virginia. Senator
Goff who has not been here for sever
al months. was paired with Senator
.Tillman, of North Carolina. Democrat.
The negative vote of Senator New
lands was a complete surprise to the
Senate, and the Nevada Senator, rec
ognizing that his action had aroused
comment, later made public a formal
explanation.
IL have a high admiration for Mr..
Brandeis as a publicist and prepa-
gandist Of distinction" said Senator
Newlands. 81 do not regard him as
a man of judicial temperament, and
for that reason have voted against his
confirmation"
Throughout the fight President Will
son stood firmly behind his nominee,
never wavering even when 1t seemed
certain that an unfavorable report
would be returned by the Senate Jul
dietary Committee. Before the COM
mittee voted he wrote a letter to
Chairman Culbertson strongly urging
prompt and favorable action. Mr.
Brandeis will be the first Jew to &C.
cupy a seat on the Supreme Court
bench.

PRISONER
OF John +. Peck To Die in Electric

Waite Is Sent to Death
House

New York, June DIR. Arthur War
rem Waite today was sentenced to die
in the electric chair during the week
of July 1O-the penalty for the murder
of his father-in-law, John f. Peck
When DR.. Waite was presented to
the bar his counsel moved that he be
granted a new trial. This was denied
by the Court and sentence was then
imposed.
When Justice Shearn concluded the
sentence Waite delivered short
speech in which he expressed appre-
citation of the manner in which his
trial was conducted and his thanks to
the court, the prosecutors and to his
own attorney. DR.. Waite said he was
very sorry for his crimes and for the
trouble and suffering he had caused
others.
Waite entered the courtroom in GUS
tody of two Deputy Sheriffs. head erect
step firm and as cool apparently as II
there were nothing more serious ahead
of him than one of the tennis games
in which he so often has participated
as an expert player.
Within half an hour after sentence
was imposed Waite was On board a
train for the state prison. When he
was searched before going to the
courtroom this morning a small pock-
ct mirror, broken in two pieces, was
found in his pocket. The pieces Of
glass were taken from him.
He was placed in the death house in
Sing Sing Prison this afternoon.

NATIONAL POTASH HUNT

According to Farm and Fireside, the
national farm paper published in
Springfield. Ohio, the United States
Geological Survey is now engaged in
Explorations of the panhandle OF Texas
for deposits of potash salts. The
studies in this region made by Pro-
fessor Udden of Texas seem to war
rant the expenditure of public money
in the search There is some interest
ing development in the potash situa-
ton.
"A commercial company Is making a
small amount daily from a mineral
called alunite in Utah. There is not
enough alunite known to exist to fur
nish our supply. however. The great
Searles Lake brine reservoir is in lti-
cation between two companies one of
which claims exclusive title to 1t; but
Searles Lake. though larger, also falls
short of possible supply. Many
chemists, some of them backed by cap
ital, are working to get potash from
the common stone known as feldspar,
but the processes do not seem to work
commercially. There is plenty of pot
ash In the giant kelps of the Pacific
Ocean-a huge seaweed-but its re-
covery presents at least two problems
yet unsolved One of these problems
Is the harvesting of the kelp and the
other is the drying Of IT, Imagine the
problem of drying millions Of tons of
cabbage or rape TO get something solid
out of the plant and one has not yet
quite imagined the kelp problem. for
kelp is wetter than cabbage or rape.
Add to the situation the fact that as
soon as the war is over the Germans
will be in the geld with the Strassfurt
salts, which they have probably never
sold as cheaply as they could II they
had to. and one realizes that a man
will think twice before putting his
money into any new process or plan
of getting potash from American
sources. But II in the panhandle or
elsewhere concentrated deposits are
found which resemble those OF Ger
many the case will be different. The
problem, In short, will be solved.
Therefore good luck TO the explorers
OF the Geological Survey"

HOW TO CANDY CHERRIES

In the June woman's Home Com

"In making candied cherries | use
the large red cherries. Boiling water
is poured over them after the stones
have been removed; they are allowed
to stand In this a while, then the water
is poured of, and the cherries drain
ed. In a preserving kettle is placed
a pound of fruit and one-half cupful OF
water. This is boiled to the soft ball
stage; then the cherries are ADDED, and
simmered or until the cherries are red
and transparent; then they are re-
moved with a skinner, and placed on
platters. These are placed in the
strong sun, or in a slow oven until
nearly dry. The strip is cooked down
to the hard ball stage and a little red
fruit coloring added; then thu cher
ries are placed in this a few at a time.
and simmered slowly until each cherry
is we'll permeated with the sirups
then they are removed to the platter
again, and placed in the sun unit! thor
oughly dried they are then packed in
boxes or tins lined with
paraffn paper. Paraffin paper is also
placed between each two layers. II |
wish to keep them for any great length
of time l pack them in wide-mouthed
jars, with waxed paper between each
