Sun Playing the Stacker;
That Is Why Weather
Is So Cool Over Country

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Old Sol, act
ing in a most unreasonable way, is play
ing Stacker.
That accounts for the unusual cool
wea Their throughout the country, the
United States weather bureau explained
today.
But warmer weather should come
within two or three days, the bureau
predicted.
Because the sun isn't functoning
properly. there is an excess of air in
Alaska, Canada and the northern states
and a scarcity of it in the south. The
drift of air is southwark, when it nor
mally should he northward.
But the north Is running out of excess
air and the south will begin delivering
soon.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN KERED1Txa


1 certainly do, as L understand it's
meaning. In Exodus 1851 the Lord
said to Moses: THE Lord, the Lord God,
merciful and gracious, long-suffering
and abundant, in goodness and truth,
keeping merely for thousands. forgiving
iniquity and transgression and sin, and
that will by no means clear the guilty:
visiting the iniqAties of the fathers
upon the children and upon the chill
dren's children unto the third. and the
fourth generation"
Tell me if that visitation of the in
EQUITIES of the fathers upon the children
is not what we call an inheritance, or,
to use the shorter word, heredity? And
yet God deals with each according to
personal merit. He says in Ezekiel
1S:47, Behold, all souls are mine; as
the souls of the father, so also the
souls of the son, is mine; the soul that
sinneth it shall die
Now if each answers to it's own pro-
clivities, then the child must inherit
the proclivities of his sinful father and
the fathers sin becomes his own.
SamueTs mother received her son of
the Lord and she gave him to God as
thank offering. He owed it to her
that he became a great prophet.
Ellis sons became degenerate, because
they made themselves vile and he re-
strained them not. Like many other
bad sons, they broke their old fathers
heart.
David said nice things of his mother.
In Psalm 1910 he prays, "Oh, Lord,
truly am I thy servant, and the son of
thine handmade" Again he prays
Save the son of thine handmade"
Paul writes to Timothy: 81 call to
remembrance the unfe1gned faith that is
in thee. which dwelt in thy grandmother
Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and L am
persuaded in thee also"
Samsons mother was commanded not
to drink wine or any strong drink, nor
{ eat any unclean thing, because he
was appointed to deliver Israel
David said: THE mercy of the Lord
is from everlasting to everlasting unto
them that fear Him and His righteous
ness unto childrens children"
1 have often seen IN my experience
of a long life the gracious manners and
kind hearts of the children of good pious
people repeated. 1t seemed as if the
prayers of parents had been heard by
a covenant-keeping Heavenly Father
Moses mother was full of faith and
courage when she hid her infant in
the bulrushes growing on the Nile. God
honored her faith by having her child
placed again in her arms. I see the
physical resemblance perpetuated in
children. and it is the craving of pa
rental love to see the favor made plain
on the faces of their offspring.
What a fearful responsibility it is
that goes with the care Of ones own
children!

LACK OF REVERENCE FOR OLD
ACE

In We olden time 1t was the habit of
young parents to teach their offspring
to pay due respect to the grandparents,
paternal and maternal. The most COM
Portable chair in the sitting room was
offered to any one of the four when
they entered the house. The seat near
est the fire in the dining room was Civ
ell them, and always a fire was provided
in the old peoples bedroom when they
were ready for the nights repose.
When grandfather or grandmother be-
gun to talk all the rest of them waited
in silence. Little ones were educated to
run and wait on grandparents whenever
they could do their errands for them 1t
was esteemed a great privilege to sit on
grandfather's knee or TO lay ones head
on grandmother'S bosom when in sick
ness OF In trouble. To speak rudely to
grandparents was a thing forbidden. To
contradict them was a vagrant error.
and can remember the great happiness
it gave me just to look in their faces
or to hold one of their hands in mine
without saying a word or doing a thing
but laugh every time my small fingers
were lovingly pressed by their larger
hands. 1t was A joy to bring a fresh
drink Of cool water, in hot weather. and
to fix the chair cushions for them, in
the cold winter time, and to light the
pipe was felicity! To speak disre-
spectfully of my grandmother was a
thing impossible, because 1t would have
been heresy in my mothers house.
But times have changed very rapidly.
Aged grandmothers who are homeless
have sometimes a very cheerless exist
ence. They are in the way, very often,
and they sometimes have been heard to
say, 81 would go to the poorhouse If 1t
would not be so much talked about"
1t Is easy nowadays for younger peo-
pie to laugh at the old-time ways of
their elders. The young ones know It
all, and the Others are old fOgies.
This lack of dutiful conduct and also
brazen Indifference to old people is one
of the crying sins of the present gen.
GRAFTON. 1t is like forgetting God. who
said TO the world of mankind, Honor
thy father and thy mother, that thy
days may be long in the land that the
Lord thy God giveth thee" And kind
words are cheap, they cost so little,
and they do so much for the aged, and
they are so becoming TO youth and they
are priceless to those who love and
serve their children.

To Know Good Linen.

There are many persons who do not
know how to distinguish between the
two qualities of linens. a microscopic
examination Of the two qualities Shows
that the needle cutting through the
chemically bleached linen leaves
broken and ragged threads. a pune
ture Of the needle in the grass bleach
ed linen shows that the needle simply
separates the threads by passing be-
tween them. In one case the threads
are bent, and in the other the threads
are broken. The fibers of the chem
ically bleached linens are uneven, brit
tie and inferior; the fibers of the grass
bleached linens are practically unim-
paired, so that when the needle is
withdrawn and the cloth rubbed and
pulled the threads Of the latter resume
their former position, and the cloth
will be as good as ever.

THE LITTLE ACORN.

Once there was a beautiful big oak
tree. 1t grew in the woods, and 1t was
the only oak around there.
The oak was lonely, and so when fall
came and the little acorns went pat
tering to the ground each was anxious
TO hide in nice, safe place, so that
when spring came they might send up
little green shoots and grow up to be
oak trees themselves.
Each little acorn as 1t swung on its
branch looked about carefully for a
nice place in which to fall.
I'm going to drop right In the midst
Of that pile of leaves" said one. 1.-THE
leaves will keep me warm when the
winds blow and the SHOWS fall, as they
say they do in the winter"
81 am going to fall in the midst of
that bank of soft earth. Then l can
work my way down into the SOIL" said
another acorn.
Il shall choose that marshy place
over yonder," said a third acorn.
Every acorn had something to say
except little thing that grew on the
lower limb There wasn't much choice
for him. BY and by when the wind
loosened his hold on the tree all he
could do would be TO fall on the rocks.
There he had little chance of finding
a place In which TO grow, and there,
without cover, the first frosts of win
ter would pinch him to death. The
other acorns did not even think ii
worth while to ask him where he meant
to fall.
One morning the biggest acorn gave
a groan.
There's squirrel coming up the
tree" he said. And the tree began to
shake so that the squirrel could not
climb up and steal the acorns. The
little gray squirrel had just got as far
as the lower limb, and he grabbed the
first acorn he could see and darted
down the trunk with 1t. He ran TO the
little hole he had dug in the ground
and popped the acorn In. But the
squirrel did not bother going back to
the tree that was so hard to climb.
After awhile the other acorns began
to drop off, but the pile of leaves blew
away and left that one to freeze. An
other found the soil that looked so
soft very hard TO pierce. and a third
rotted in tho swamp
When the spring came the only one
that was alive was the acorn which
the squirrel had buried in his little Gel
lar and forgotten TO dig up.
That acorn sent up a little green
shoot, which became tall sapling and
in time all oak tree. the pride of the
forest
