MISSION OF BEAUTY.


In the age Of carbon there were no
flowers. Utility came first. The
oceans OF oil must be distilled. The
vegetation must be canned up In coal
beds So that the heat Of the long ago
could be carried down through the
ages To the present.
There were no peonies or roses in
those days-no grains. no fruits, no
animals adapted to human wants. But
as the earth ripened for man We Gee
primitive fruits and grains: then came
domestic animals. and most wonderful
u all Gods gardens OF precious gems
are planted. These are marvellous in
their splendor and all have their mis-
sion in the uplift Of humanity. The
diamond. the emerald. the topaz and
he sapphire. with scores Of other
Jewels. have their place in ministering
20 the pleasures Of men. How much
these gardens OF immortelles, these
flowers which do not fade. have added
TO the wealth OF the world Turkey
has millions upon millions OF precious
stones stored in her vaults. England
has immense treasures of them. The
crown OF Elizabeth was a blaze OF
splendor. The present crown is most
magnificent. The young man gives
his intended the most fragrant and
charming roses and carnations and
then puts a flashing jewel on her fin
ger.
Centuries ago Sha Jahan lost his
beautiful and beloved wife. when
she was dying he promised her the
most costly monument the world had
ever seen and he kept his word. He
secured the services OF the most ia
nous architect Of his time-the man
who designed the Peacock Throne,
which cost thirty millions. For this
vast temple monument the wealth of
India was poured out. Thousands of
workmen toiled for years. Enormous
quantities Of richest gems glittered in
the walls. The stately columns were
ablaze with them, The mosaics were
the triumph Of wealth and art. And

A NEEDED LAW.

tfThe orange orchards of California and the apple orchards of Oregon and Washington not to speak of others, draw heavily upon the soil. And for it's rep1enishment the orchadists are buying phosphate rock in Florida, which is carried 5000 miles by water and then inland, while in Idaho, Mon tana and Wyoming we have under withdrawal nearly 3,oOO.000 acres of lands that are underlaid with phos- phate rock.
 'sThere is no law. today under which this can be secured. In Mon tana and elsewhere throughout the West are sme1ters which produce sul- phuric acid necessary for the conver- sion of this rock into practicale fer tilizer. So that the development of this industry waits only upon the passage of a law which will put this mineral at the command of those who need it.
 / "Our coal lands are now subject to sale at appraised values based upon an estimate of the contents of the land. This is at best at experts guess, and converts each purchase into a gamble, both on the part of the gov ernment and the purchaser. The bill does not exclude this method, but supplements it with simple prOvis- ion by which the purchaser, instead of buying at hazard, may pay a roy atty upon what he produces. It gives the man of moderate means an oppor- tunity to secure a mine. From the annual report of Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior.

RELIEF BUREAU CHARITY, SAYS
 FELIX LAUTER
Local Agent Vindicates German and Austro- Hungarian
 Organization.
SAVINGS s

Because of suspicious that have been cast on the German and Austro- Hungarian Relief bureau in the War ner Building here, because of the ac- tivities of secret service men in Bridgeport, Felix Lauter, the local agent has issued a statement, which follows:
 "Because charity is given to Ger man and Austro-Hugarian subjects, it is impossible for some of the news papers, written in English, which claims, that they are neutral, to act fair to an organization, which is only charitable in it's nature.
 '+So was an article in the Sun and in the New York Times, which was talk en from the Providence Journal. The appeared statement that the German and Austro-Hungarian Information street, New York, in charge of MT. Hans Lbau under the guise of giving relief to German and Asutro-Hun- garian 1aborers, was conducting in ac- tive propaganda in an attempt to drag men out of munitions factories. The fact that the embargo conference in Cleveland occupied the same quar- ters as our branch bureau there, does not mean, that there is a connection between the two organizations. Both papers wrote that MT. Libau was one of the headmen of the embargo con
 
 what they wrote, one day before.
 ''The Department of Justice knows that our organization is entirely phil anthropic in character. Together with all branch bureaus we placed from over 4,2O0 applicants 85 per cent. In Bridgeport we have had >A83 applicants so far and have placed about 90 per cent. Everybody called on Us voluntarily and nobody was forced by. us to leave this place.
 ''I am firmly convinced that the Yankees are looking for fair play; but through the untruthfulness of the pro-A1ly anything else only a plot against the United States.
 If the Americans look back in his tory, they will find German popula- ton did much more for the United States than descendants of the all other nations together and hope that the fair play of the Americans, which has been so far a dream, becomes a fact.''
