profound tribute which circumstances

not In me: God will give Pharaoh all

"And Joseph answers Uncle Sam
saying. It Ii not in me: God will give
America an answer of peace" Ac-
cept this putting of our text please,
for We are facing a crisis which will
put us in the place for which God has
raised America up; or cast US into the
debrie of nations!
PROCESS OF SALVATION
Conservation is a process of sal
vation. The highest degree of sanity
il required at this time lest we try to
meet the demands of the time by rob-
hing Peter to pay Paul. Remember
that we can eat just as much and as
good food, we can wear about as
many and as good clothes il we will
lid our country of a few costly, de-
grading, useless, destroying habits!
America. begin to conserve foods at
the right place! Fear not, neither be
afraid. in our fathers country are
many traditions. pure white as the
driven snow which. II we keep. we
shall be able to win in this conflict.
DO not cut down on necessities in the
name of worthless habits which are
consuming lands. homes. foods. cloth
ing, lives and fortunes. Rather let
'us war against our internal enemies
al the first step in genuine prepared
ness. Costly. deadly habits, wilful,
avoidable waste, these are the enc
mics within our gates which, like the
Horse of Troy, break down the walls
OF our national defense.
I'VE will erect gigantic balance
having its pedestal of solid rock with
the giant beam set upon it with scien-
tific precision and the pans hanging
from each end in which we shall
weigh the evidence before us today
and, in true American fashion, rem
der verdict. This pedestal will be
carved out of solid rock. The first
stone which composes the founda-
tion we shall carve out of Gods eter-
nal principle. Into Gods realm we
will go and take the first and greatest
principle OF all his domain. From
that principle we will cut the rock
Righteousness and lay 1t before us.
Then we must go amongst our fellows
OF all time. out OF life as 1t has been
and as it is. cut another stone, hu-
manity. and place that onthe first;
for all things are useless except they
build for humanity. People have
lived together under numerous sys-
tens of government. The task of
Irving together cannot be solved alone
in the home. We must find govern
mental principle from which we can
cut our third stone and, placing it
Upon the other two, complete the
foundation. democracy That is the
crowning piece of this pedestal.
TWO CHARACTERS
Before we place the elements in
this balance, l will introduce to you
two representatives who shall speak
for their causes. The first person is

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal deaf
ness is caused by an inf1amed cOndi-
ton of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube is
inf1amed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts through the blood on the
mucous surfaces of the system.
We give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Medicine. Circulars free. All Drug

HORSE TRADE CRIPPLED BY IN.
SPECTION SUSPENSION

Horse trade has been crippled all
over the United States by the sus-
pension of the French inspection.
The suspension, which is attributed
solely to the lack of ocean transpor-
tation, caught the horse collectors
with a large lot of horses on their
hands, and the losses which have re-
suited have been very serious. The
English are still buying at few
points, but a danger signal has been
hoisted since the French traders
have no assurance that they will
have market for what they have
gathered.

CANNING MACHINES HAVE AD-
VANCED IN PRICE.

The price of canning machines has
advanced from $500 to $3.50, and it
is extremely difficult to secure them
at that price. A notice from the
company at Meridian, Conn, states
that, on account of lack of transpor-
tation, orders can not be filled in less
than three weeks, so all persons de-
string Gamers in time for this season
should send in their checks immedi-
ately.
The Gamers contain stove bars,
lifting trays, tongs, scalding basket,
Gaping steels, tipping iron and book
of instructions. For homemade out
fits of zinc tub and ordinary baskets
for scalding, irons at IS cents can
be obtained. The first carload of
cans has been sold, but the second
shipment from the National Can
Company, Baltimore, will be made
this week. Miss Mary Fithian Hutch
craft is the County Agent for the

TERRIFIC BATTLE -FOUR MILES
IN THE AIR.

In an air duel fought at probably
the highest altitude at which avia-
tors have met in combat-nearly four
miles-a Canadian triplane pursued
and defeated a German two-seated
aviatik.
The German machine has sought
safety by climbing upward and the
airplane pursued. At a height OF
10000 feet the pilot Of the German
craft either fell or jumped from it
and disappeared at the moment OF
the first burst of fire from the gun
on the Canadian. The German OBJ
server was then seen to climb out
upon the tail of his machine, where
he lost his hold and plunged head
long. The aviatik turned his nose
down and fell.

In the last raid over England one
of Germany's big Zeppelins with the
commander of the raiding force

by an English aviator, with loss Of

lin from aeroplanes, incendiary bull
lets are used. One such bullet pehe-

and converts the whole huge struc-

Admission, Ala, is being considered
as the mobilization point of the Ma

War Department has gone so far as
to decide tentatively upon the Ala
bama city, but an examination by
medical officers is holding the final
decision in allegiance. If Admission is
selected it will mean a familiar
training camp for most of the
veterans of the Kentucky National
Guard, as Federal maneuvers in
which the Kentuckians took part were

REST CURE" FOR RED CROSS
WORKERS IN NORWAY
(By Associated Press }

Christiania, Norway, July 3-The
Norwegian Red Cross has extended
to the United States an invitation
to send to Norway for rest cure"
any of it's nurses and Red Cross
workers who may become i'll or worn
out in the course of their work In
Northern France.
In Norway any such American
convalescents will be the guests of
tie Norwegian Red Cros, and will be
sent to the most suitable Norwegian
health resort for a period of six
weeks or more at its expense.
Similar invitations were long ago
extended to the European belliger-
ents, although Germany and Russia
are the only ones who have sent
nurses here in response. Germany
has thus far sent 500 nurses to Nor
way while 65 Russian nurses are
now here for a months vacation.
A visit from even small Amer
lean Red Cross unit would be re-
garded as great event in Norway,
which regadr ITSELF as littel closer
to the United States than any other
Scandinavian country. Norwegians
frequently remark that there are
more Norwegians in the United
States than in Norway, and that
therefore one country is as much
their home land" as the other.

NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CONSCRIPTS AND VOLUNTEERS
(By Associated Press }

Sydney, Australia, July 3.-New
Zealand troops bound eventually for
the front were gathered in large
numbers in Sydney recently. The
streets were alive with them; stocky,
soldierly-looking youths whose uni.
forms contrasted markedly with
those of Australian troops in that
they were tunics very like in cut
those in use in the Uni,ed States
army and peaked Cow -puncher"
hats. Every arm of the Dominion
military service was represented {.
The Maoris during a parade of the
troops through the city attracted the
particular attention of the onlookers.
The New Zealand minister for agri-
culture w. d. s. Macdonald, said
of the troops, who were composed of
bth volunteers and conscripts. and
OF the operation of the compulsory
service law in New Zealand:
Although the conscriptiOn sys
TEN is in force men still have the
right to volunteer and 1t Is always

ways been able to find the quota
through the voluntary system.
