l. A Factory of Health and Holiness.
1 know great mining company,
whose machinery runs almost CON
stantly, which throws away every bit
of its machienry every six or seven
years. The machinery may seem to
be running all right and to be just
as good as ever. The experts know,
however, that machinery needs rest
or it wears out. The same thing is
true of the human machine. God
knew best when he decreed that we
should rest on the seventh day.
have seen people who broke down
without any apparent disease who
had simply run the machine all the
time without giving 1t rest. Observ-
ance Of the Lords Day is religious
duty, of course, but it is physical
safeguard for the individual man and
for the nation. Men make mistake
who do not take the seventh day off.
There is no better, more uplifting way
to do it than to go to church. Health
for the body, recreation for the minds,
and holiness for the soul, all depend
upon the use we make of this seventh
day. Nehemiah enforced the law of
the Sabbath. 1t was good politics
and good religion to do SO.
ii. What Shall We Do on the Lords
Day?
Works of mercy and necessity arc
proper upon the Lords Day. Time
should be given for the higher things
of life. The open grocery and the
open meat market are supposed tc
large number of people work seven
days in the week. Anything which
breaks down the Lords Day is ulti'
mately disadvantage to the laborine
man.. He ought to help us keep II
untouched by business. Many Of the
immigrants who come from Europe
have no regard for the Lords Day
Their example effects our own peo
pie. 1t is more difficult to keep til,
religious significance of the day il
the fore front. Many homes have
no higher ideal Of the day than II
make it time for visiting, for pleas
ure, for recreation Of every sort. Mel
and homes are measured by their re
gard for the Lords Day. The Puritan
Sabbath may have been narrow, bu
it left our nation a legacy of nObl
value.

Fort Collins, Colo.-Some one has
said that the polecat never takes e
bath, and that he IS afraid of water.
He is wrong, and DR.. D. o. Norton OF
this city is ready to prove the asser.
tion. He has just returned from n
fishing trip in North Park, where he
tempted the rainbow in the Platte.
One morning his attention was at
tracted to six young animals which
were playing on sand bar a short
distance away. A careful observation
disclosed that they were of the genus
skunk.

his mind, the doctor crawled cautious
ly to a point of vantage from which
he could watch the animals moro
closely, and declares that after they
had apparently tired of play all sil

the swift current as tho they hat
been so many ducks.

Fashion Notes

The long mapped beaver hats will
be worn more extensively as the win
ter advances. They are especially
smart in combinations of black and
white. The shape liked best is of low
crown and rolled. medium width brim,
the roll usually being upon one side
only. Such II shape with the upper
part of black and the brim faced in
white beaver is exceedingly chic.

STAND BY YOUR GUNS.

The enemies of the Nonpartisan League feel that in some man.
nr they have found a weak spot in it's lines and are now turning
every gun to kill off and disrupt the organization. They are play
ing their shot and shell to stir up strife and jealousies, and have
had Just enough encouragement to feel that they can now form a
wedge that would mean the complete disruption of the party. Now
is the time to "stick." The farmers have spent their money, their
energy and their time to secure an organization and now nave
things in such shape that their hopes and ambitions can be real
lied if they remain true to their coors, while everything has not
been done in perfect accord and harmony, how could it be with the
hundreds of diversified opinions, all honest and all with good IN
them? A majority must rule and we must bow to the will OF the
majority or get out. And if you get out you are in worse shape
than YOU were before. You will have no more to look to in the
future than you had before the Nonpartisan League vaS started.
The world was not made in a day, and all reforms cannot be made
in a day. There will be mistakes and there will be trials, troubles
and worry. The object would not be worth striving for If these
elements did not enter. The old political gang predicted that the
Nonparhsan League would go the way of the Populist and other
similar movements and they banked their prediction in their pow
er to create strife in your ranks. Are you going to fulfill their pre-
dictions? We don't believe it. You have paid too high a price
for your freedom and you have accomplished too much TO allow the
enemy to even startle you. Keep on with the good work-Mlnot
Messenger.
If there were certain provisions about House Bill A that were
Questionable, why did not the standpat senate offer amendments
that would remove these objections, rather than stoEidly suppress
all debate and slowly strange it to death? The answer is quite
obvious

EXPLANATION OF DRAFT.
All Numbers Have Been Drawn AL | though Not All Have Been Published

Because only a partial list of all numbers drawn in the selectve draft have been published there is an erron- eous impression about the city that those whose numbers were not drawn are not included in the list. As matter of fact every one of the 10,- 900, 900 men who registered on June were drawn. The United States was, broadly speaking, divided into some 4,000 districts, similar to the two To- cal districts. In some districts the numbers ran only into the hundreds, while in others they ran above 10000.
 But whatever a mans number was it was drawn. The reason that all numbers have enot been printed is that all numbers were not received at the newspaper offices. The drawing, which began at 9:30 a. m. Friday morning, continued until 2:30 a. m. Saturday morning. Naturally the Fri dayi afternoon and evening papers could print only such numbers as had been drawn at press time. The Satur- day morning papers, which went to press before the drawing had actually stopped, could print only the numbers which had been drawn at their press time. Consequently the balance of the numbers drawn did not appear in pa pers published around here. But whether g persons number appeared or not, he may rest assured that it was drawn. However if 1t did not ap- pear in any of the published lists a man can feel fairly sure that his num- Der was one of the last few thousands drawn, thereby placing his name away at the bottom of the draft list.

FIRST OUT, BEST DRESSED. /
Coney Island Fathers Robber of Street
 Garments.

New York, July 25.-Twenty-five young women and about ten men stormed the Coney Island Police Sta tion last evening, all in bathing suits, some carrying sections of their street attire, others with none, all complain ing that their effects had been stolen from the store and dwelling house of Samuel Engelstein, at No. 2977 West Fifth Street, Coney Island.
 The police telephoned to the homes of some of the victims or had police in their home districts notify relatives to send clothing to the young women so they might not have to travel back to the city in bathing suits. At 8 o'clock it had been impossible to not ify the home of Mss Eva Gulup of No. A East Sixty seventh street, who was considering making the trip in a coat a policeman offered to lend her.
 Miss Sadie Fern, eighteen, and her sister, Freda, sixteen, were among others left entirely without street ap- parel. except Miss Freda salvaged her left shoe. N

FOREIGN SITUATION
 HITS MARKET HARD
Lack of Enthusiasm at Opening
 Shades Into Gloom

Wall Street.-Events over the week end, particularly latest developments in Russia were unfavoraly inter- preted by traders at the opening of today's market. War stocks reflected moderate pressure, declines in repre- sentative industrials and equipments extending from l to points. Cop pers and motors showed a renewal of last weeks heaviness and rails were irregular, St. Paul yielding to it's re- cent minimum. Dealings were light and restricted to the more specula- tive groups.
 The irregular drift of the opening continued throughout the early ses- sion. Shlppings and a few specialties moved smactly upward, but motors and war shares made little headway, some of the steels recording half way recoveries. Rails were seldom quoted and lost none of their uncertain tone. The easing of money rates, call loans renewing at 3 per cent, was among the few encouraging developments of the forenoon. Bonds were steady on nominal dealings. Liberty 1-2 sell ng at 99.46 to 99.48.
 Leaders sought lower levels on the broader selling of the intermediate session, rails steels and the war is- sues in general showing extreme losses of 1 to more than 3 points, Shippings also broke on Washington advices suggesting a drastic cut in ocean freight rates.
 Close-Standard stocks were at lowest prces in the last hour the heaviness of rails being followed by a four point break in Canadian Paci- fic. The closing was heavy. Sales approximated 525,OOO shares.

that reason that Germany is still in no mood to accept the terms which the Allies will be likely to offer. This, of course, suggests prolonged activities in war industries. The harvest prom 1ses larger and better results than at one time expected. There is no real scarcity of grain, although under the circumstances a larger yield would have been desirable. But farmers are sure of good prices for their products and seem likely to secure their full share of prosperity, which later on will be reflected in good business throughout the agricultural sections. There is no reason for taking other than hopeful views regarding the fu- ture, but the presence of many and unusual uncertainties necessitates the policy of daily caution.
