The people of Washington have grown ac-
customed to the tifs between Director Ralph
and the printers at the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. Whenever the public has gone
into the question on which the director and
printers disagreed it generally has been found
that there was merit each side of the argu-
ment In some cases the impartial bystander
has found amusement and there probably have
been many smiles over the latest quarrel 1t
seems that Mr.. Ralph admonished the printers
not to leave their work to watch the passing
OF the funeral procession of the troopers killed
at CarrlzaL The printers replied with a reso-
luton that it is the right of every American
citizen to drop his work and obey the dictates
OF Amerlcanism, matter where he is and
what he is doing" Perhaps Mr. Ralph takes
the view that the best evidence of Americanisr,
IS efficient service for Uncle Sam that the
printers in the bureau are serving Uncle Sam
just as much the men on the border, and
that their service is not 100 per cent efficient
II they leave their work to look out of the
window. Perhaps the printers take the view
that a man fully imbued with real Americanism
must be excused if he impulsively drops his
tools to watch the flag passing. At any rate
both Mr.. Ralph and the printers may be credited
with sincere respect for Americanism and their
quarrel may be dropped because of lack of
more hairs to split

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat has announced
that its price will be ? cents after August l.
because of the increasing cost OF white paper.
The Globe-Democrat is only following in the
footsteps Of number OF European publications
that have been forced to raise their price Many
other American newspapers now selling for
cent soon may find it necessary to follow the
lead of the St. Louis publication White paper
costs are soaring beyond all expectations of
publishers and unless halt is called penny
newspapers may become few and far between
The Federal Trade Commission has begun an
inquiry TO determine the cause of the increased
cost OF white paper, but it is doubted whether
any steps can be taken to reduce the price
before publishers find it necessary to increase
their charge to the public

Why not give the Deutschland chance
The submersible put one over" or under the
British fleet in reaching our waters and she
should not be hindered when she attempts her
getaway. But what chance will she have with
press boats, private launches and a string of
other craft trailing her out of the bay? The
people OF this country love fair play and it is
the duty OF the United States to see that we
put no obstacle in the Deutschland's Journey
to the three-mile limit Then. after the boat is
beyond the safety of neutral waters she must
take her chances and rely on her captain.

The Spider and the Fly.

This incident comes from Albany, n.
Y: A small garden spider had spun his
web in a corner where a perpendicular
column and a horizontal rail met and
from the ambush of hidden crack
awaited his prey. A handsome yellow
wasp passing that way espied the
graceful trap and made for it. Setting
his feet lightly on two or three of the
meshes, he started up a great buzzing,
which shook the web from end to end.
The watchful spide- ran out little
way, stretched forth delicate foot to
make sure OF the location of the sup
posed fly. and then rushed for 1t,
alighting on the wasp with a gleeful
Jump and no doubt a grin Of hideous
triumph. But Mr.. Spider had reckoned
without his host Like fash of light
ming, the wasp's six nimble legs closed
upon him, the graceful body bent near
" double, and once, twice, thrice,
again and again, the sharp sting pierre
ed the luckless spider. AS his strug-
giles grew fainter and finally ceased,
the wasp. with a spring, disentangled
himself from the silken net and bore
away his spidery victim in triumph.

tairie Cemetery. There remaineth
a rest to the people of God
In discussing the question Of Mlcah
vi. 6. "Wherewith shall come before
tho Lord and bow myself before the
high god?" the preacher, the ke''
! d. La Mothe, said: This ques'lo"
was asked $500 years ago. AND yet
human nature is just the same today.
The heart OF man is the same. But
unon the answer of this question the
future of man depends. II Is. there
fore. a vital question worthy OF our
thought and consideration. God Is our
God We are all His children. All
the servants of God, whether we ac-
/ knowledge Him or rcpudiate Him. \
Young man repudiates his father but
no is still his fathers son. SO when
! IN. prophet says 'Wherewith shall !
come before the Lord, he recognizes
God as the God OF all; and that men
are His children. whether obedient or
| disobcdient and rcbelliOus. Ana so
TODAY. whether outside OF the church
ar not we are Gods children. First
lof all then let us recognize the fact
land then ask ourselves how shall we
Icome into His presence? When we
think seriously We realize that We are
Gods children and that we have Deen
ungrateful. negligent and careless.
Then We ask: What shall | do? Ho"
shall be reconciled to God? Can l
propitiate God Almighty by this?
What outward act can | do TO please
Him? Can | please God by giving
bv the generosity of giving to HIS
church? Is it possible to bride God?
Too often some rich man tries to buy
his peace with God by paying back
10 the people money he has gained dis
honestly. To-day men try to purchase
heaven by merit; but we are saved D!
grace and being saved We want to
| cousecrate our lives to Him. IO-da!
| the great temptation is TO slight the
work at the expense of the employer
While to do justly, not only to our
selves but also to others Is the re
uirement of God. This brings JOY
and peace and comfort in the heart
Things may some time be just but no
r merciful, so God also requires tha'
His children spare when it is need1ui
t To love mercy is consequently another
= requirement. And to walk humolN
= with thy God is another. Which means
? that our attitude should be right TO
2 ward Him and our work acceptable U
t Him. And thus We are ready to come
into His presence. The prophets lde;
C is possible because the spirit OF Chris
i is ever with us TO help us live accord
+ ing to Gods requirements.

All Of the players but two form in a
double ring, with one player directly
behind another. The two odd players,
one of whom is the runner and the 9TH
er chaser, start outside the circle. The
object Of this game is for the chaser
to tag the runner The runner may
save himself by stopping in front Of
any couple standing in the ring, where
upon, since that file is three Deep"
the third person in front becomes run
ner and tries to escape being caught
by the chaser.
Should the chaser tag the runner
they exchange places Immediately and
continue the game.
This game IS one that is a favorite
for children and grownups as well.

To the middle Of the market place,
And pumped and pumped till there wasn't
a speck
OF dirt upon his face.
Then they wheeled him back in the wheel

Because his face was clean,
And he took off his hat and made a bow
Before the king and queen.
