be absent from the body 10 be at
home with the Lord"
AT home with the Lord, Beyond
the dearest friendships and intimacies
which make the earthly home, how
ever far these friendships may be car
ried toward perfection in the relation
of mother and child or of a sister
and brother, there are yet higher re-
alities of love and life in the words
sat home with the Lord"
Toward those higher realities, that
expand with the expanding soul, our
friend has gone-gone in gladness and
trust, gone so quietly and cheerfully
that the ancient Hebrew would have
said she had gone by the kiss of God.
And now at the bottom of the last
page of her earthly life, the first vol
ume Of her life immortal, we set the
forward looking words AT home with
the Lord"
These words doubtless imply a sur
passing glory, surprising praise
They imply the glory of being child
of God, Of being one to whom Gods
home is home; they Imply the praise
of that love and loyalty by which the
spirit is led at last to its divine goal.
This praise and glory belong to those
of whom we say, as we say of our
friend, they are at home with the
Lord.
1t was my good fortune last Thurs
day evening to be looking through
telescope, and as l gazed at one object
after another turned it at length
toward faint glow of light, the con-
stellation of Perseus in the eastern
sky. To the naked eye there was only
a simmer of radiance, which might
never attract ones attention, being
lost, as it were, amid the shining orbs
around it. But under the magic of
the telescope there came forth out of
this faint glow of light hundred
stars, that is a hundred suns like our
own sun, pouring forth their light and
warmth, it may be, upon thousand
unseen worlds like our earth. They
seemed near to each other, these hun
dred suns, sometimes so near as al
most to touch, and yet between those
nearest together we are sure there
stretches space many thousands of
times wider than the space between US
and the sun.
There they are, in that handbreadth |
of sky, hundred glorious suns, Civ
ers of light and life to many worlds
like ours which no telescope has ever
reached and which, probably, none will
ever reach. One gazes on the spec
tacle, and one is overwhelmed with the
thought of the wisdom and the power
Of God.
We feel that angels, yea and highest
must veil their faces for
ever before the transcendent majesty |
Of such power and wisdom.
But there is something yet higher
than this vision of indescribable glory, |
and we may see it as we turn from |
the star cluster in Perseus to our
Dorset Church and to the latest of its
to pass into the heavenly
world. Here, in the unseen thing called
Christian character like that Of our
and man, the Lord is more truly and
manifested than He is by |
all the consultations, for God is love.

Is ROAD PROJECTS
HAVE BEEN APPROVED

District Forester George H. Cecil,
Portland, Oregon, announces that ap-
proval has been given by the secre-
tary of Agriculture to cooperative
road work in Oregon involving ST.
1li,194, which is distributed to ff-
teen projects. This amount is match
ed by the State, assisted in some in
stances by the counties Cooperation
OF this nature is warranted by the
Shackleford Road Bill, which became
an Act July II, 1916, and which is
the direct outgrowth of an effort by
Chief Forester Graves and Secretary
Houston to make the National For
ests contribute to road building en-
terprises pending the time when large
timber sales from these Forests will
automatically help the county ex-
chequers.

Farms in Morrow County.

By a deal which was consummated
in this city last Thursday, Ellis Minor

ranches in the county and it will fit in
fine with Mr.. Minors other holdings
on lower Willow creek. where he is
engaged in running cattle and sheep.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shut have not COM
pleted their plans as to the future,
but will spend the summer on Ditch

GREATEST BATTLE
IN ALL HISTORY

"The battle between abnormal traf-
fc and military requirements on the
one side and railroads and shippers on
the other, by far the greatest battle
of its kind in all history, bids fair to
be won by the latter" says X. J. Clan
cy, Assistant to General Manager of
the Southern Pacific. at is not a
battle with mortars and siege guns
but with tonnage and ton-miles.
"The volume of traffic being trans
ported by railroads Of the United
States in addition to military service
is the largest ever handled and prob
ably exceeds in ton-mies that of all
the rest of the world combined. Earn
est cooperation between carriers and
shippers has made this possible.
During July, with only a slight in
crease IN average car capa, Wy, the
Southern Pacific moved 1852 more
tons of revenue freight than for July
1916 with 537 less cars, efrecting a
relative saving of the number of cars
required of 6,i02, with relative re-
duction of 5S,6l3 freight train miles.
What is perhaps more important
as regards shippers, the concentration
of traffic into less number of cars
enabled the carriers to accommodate
correspondingly larger number of
shippers or render a correspondingly
larger amount of service to each ship
per with given number of cars. This
increased car loading also induced an
increase in the average revenue train
load, enabling the movement of a
larger tonnage with one set of units,
reducing train density and facilitat-
ing expedition.
"The increase in the volume of bus
mess was both sudden and great and
the carriers could only hope to accom-
modate it with the earnest co-opera-
ton of shippers. Shippers in most
instances found their own facilities
inadequate. But the average shipper
possesses both enterprise and genius,
and even with limited facilities ship
pers are playing an important part
in what is manifestly the greatest
transportation achievement in the his
tory Of American railways. There is
still both latitude and occasion for
further improvement, however, as the
demands of the hour on both carrier
and shipper are many and great, and
each should bear in mind that con-
tinuation of the whole hearted coop
GRAFTON, by which means substantial
achievements have already been eff
fected, is the determining factor be-
tween success and failure"

PROVIDE ROOM
FOR $50 FROM
CITY IN GUARD
BY Organizing New Company
Disappointed Men Will
Be Taken In

Following an order from Adjutant
General Stewart another company
of the National Guard will be re-
cruited here during the week. Cap
tain Henry NJ. Stine will have charge
of the recruiting during the next
two weeks. At least $50 men will be
needed for the company. Seventy
five men from Chambersburg will
be taken as part of the company, but
the others must come from this city
The company will need not only
men for the ranks but artificers and
cooks as we'll.
Captain Stine opened the tent in
front of the Courthouse late this
morning to receive applications. The
company as recruited will be kept
together as a unit and officials say
may be the last opportunity for Har-
riSburg groups to remain intact as
sent TO training camps. 1t is prob
able the men will be sent to Mt.
Gretna the middle of July.
At the same time other National
Guardsmen will recruit for other
depleted companies with headquar,
ters at the Victoria theater. Most
of the companies in the State are be-
low war strength and an effort will
be made to have every company up
TO its full quota before they are mus
tered into service. Local companies
are full.

Princess in Overalls
Assists British Girls

London. - Princess Mary, only
daughter of the king. is dividing her
time between her vegetable garden
at Windsor Castle and visiting NUM-
tions plants, where she usually pre-
sids over the canteens. The princess
likes to reach a munitions center un-
announced and to delight the factory
girls by serving and passing out to
their hot midday meals.
When the munition workers at a
certain factory hurried into their
canteen for their dinner the other
day they were surprised to find the
princess standing beside a great urn,
clad in large blue overalls, ready to
hand out food to them. Every girl
was eager to purchase at her hands
and many returned to the counter for
a superfiuous packet of chocolates or
bun, just for the sake of another
smile from the princess.
