TRAWELETTE
The Chrysanthemum Show.
BY NIKsA

JUST now, every corridor in the flow
er factory of the department of agrf-
culture leads to the greenhouse deyot-
cd 10 chrysanthemums. AT either side
o1 the long greenhouse and in thick
set column down the center, the great
blooms are lined up for the annual ex-
hlolt held in their honor by the de-
partmeut
The exact date of the show always
rests with the plants themselves Tor
they must be exhibited at the critical
time when they are at the height of
their perfection. Meanwhile, en-
ployees of the department of agricul-
ture spray the leaves; watch the tenn
perature of the greenhouse. and dust
the petals of stray particles of dirt
blown in from the street They de-
mand careful attention, these chrysan-
themums. =
From a tiny Chinese flower the size
of bachelors button, the chrysanthe-
mum has developed into the IMPOSING
blossom that we know TODAY Some
of the departments plants are nine
feet high, nearly touching the green
house roof and making the visitor
crane his neck dangerously to find the
single splash of red or gold at the top.
But that colored ball once located, is
usually worth looking at; it is a super
chrysanthemum.
Among the new specimens in the ex-
hibit are. notably, the Golden Cham
pion and the October Herald, both
bright yellow blooms, and the Yon-
dota pale pink. The General Pershing
is another new variety.
The departments show is housed in
one of the biggest of the government
hothouses, for there are about sixteen
hundred plants. Even with the pres
ent arrangement the show is a crowd
ed affair and some of the specimens
are injured. The blossoms that sur
vive the week of display are according
to custom turned over to the local
flower guild to be distributed at hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions.

HELPING TO WIN THE WAR.

The mining industry has been re-
spending to the worlds war needs as
has every other activity in the United
States.
Three billion dollars was the value
put upon the 1916 output of Ameri-
can mines in estimates made to Secre-
tary Lane by the geological survey.
The enormous production was accom-
panied by the greatest profits the min
ing industry of the country ever has
known, copper alone netting about
$500, 100000.
Never before" said Secretary Lane,
has so large a draft been made on
the mineral resources of our country,
and never before have minerals been
extracted with less waste or utilized
to better advantage in advancing the
general prosperity of the country.
The wonderful record Ct our mines
sets forth a degree of national indus
trial independence only hoped for a
few years ago.
Production, it is estimated, ran at
least 25 per cent ahead of 1915. The
copper output was the sensation of
the year III the mining WOTlu- Al an
average price of 81 cents pound,
the 1916 production had value of
$500. 100000, as compared with $243,-
100000 the year before, and $19S,-
600. 900 in 1913. The profits were the
greatest ever known in the metal.
Iron contends with copper for first
place among the metals produced.
Shipments of iron ore this year. it is
estimated, amounted to $17S,OOO, 900
in value, an increase of $4,000, 900
over 1915. The countrys mines pro-
duced 75,5OO.OOO gross tons, against
55.oOO.OO0 the year before
The 1916 coal production also was
the greatest ever known. The mines
sold 597, 100000 tons. compared with
570,000,000, the record established in
1913. The quantity of bituminous
| coal mined was 100000 tons. an
increase of 66,5OO.OOO over the pre-
vious year.

AMERICA IN THE WAR.

Nowhere has the relation of Amer
lea to the war been more aptly ex-
pressed than in an editorial in The
Public, which says:
Every soldier who goes to France
goes as a crusader to free the world
from the threat of intolerable oppres-
sion. And to America belongs the
credit of having made the issue sim
pie and final. With her there is none
of the confusion that comes from the
necessity of defending her immediate
boundaries, of recovering lost prov
inces, of safeguarding the scattered
elements of empire. Her duty is the
defense of civilization and the lifting
of that civilization to the plane of in
ternational cooperation. And this
achievement does not rest in the i'm
possibly distant future. What seems
now a mere by-product of war organ
ization is the very substance of the
worlds hope"
Seven months ago we were specta-
tors of the world conflict, relatively
Indifferent to it's political and moral
alternatives, keenly alive to its eco
nomic opportunities, and increasingly
callous to its suffering. 1t was de-
plorable, but did not seem to be our
affair We felt distant and secure in a
narrow. complacent nationalism. The
ocean was our boundary. and it
seemed pretty effectually guarded for
US by the British sea power.
| We had had foreign trade, of course.
trine that foreign policy was a game
of backing concessionaires with bat
tleships. But in the main our atti-
| tude toward the world was a great I'M
| enlightened indifference. As for Eu-
rope. the principle of the farewell
address had worn for a century and
/ seemed still valid. Those nations
could do what they pleased so long
as they refrained from interference on
this hemisphere.
The thousand technicalities OF
which American Intervention was le-
galistically justifiable have in these
months fallen into a place of relative
insignificance. Those who believed in
a civilization based on the liberty OF
men were called upon to take weapons
in their hands and defend their faith
1t is the emergence and Qualification
of this faith that is the characteristic
development in our national thought
The affirmation of the democratic
ideal has come out of the country's
deep sincerity.
Our provincialism is ended for al
time. Henceforth Europe is our mex
door neighboE

The Italian reverse, even tho it be-
come a rout, can have no serious eff
feet on the course of the war. Neither
can the subsistence of Russia so long
as the Slavs do not conclude a sep
arate peace with the central powers.
1T has been inevitable from the start
that the war shall be rought out where
IL began, on the western front. Ger
many's operations in other fields but
serve to weaken her power of resist
ance. In advancing into Russia or
Italy she gains nothing commensurate
with the outlay OF men and material
resources. In addition to this, by ex-
bending her lines. she necessarily
thins them. If the Russians had
stayed in the war and Italy had been
able to push on toward Vienna, the
end would haFe been FASTENED. but
the actual end would have come on
the western front just the came.

gle persons and $4,000 a year for the
married. The tax on individual in
comes is levied on incomes derived
during the calendar year. Every un-
married person, therefore, who during
the year of 1917 was in receipt of an
income aggregating 900 and every
married person whose income is
81, 900 or more for the twelve months
must, between January l, 1918, and
March / next following. file return
with the collector of internal revenue
covering the entire preceding calendar
year. The income tax may be paid
when the return is filed and in any
event must be paid not later than

of course, mis- own spiritual blindness.
The deep things of religion are alto
gether incomprehensible to the unre-
generate. Therefore a Christian must
live his life regardless of the world
and it's opinions. seeking his wisdom
and his comfort from above.
Think for an instant of the things
we accept instead of Jesus. The room
that belongs to him we give to foolish
pride. to vain pleasures, to worldly
ambitions and to petty selfishness-all
trifles of a day The insignificance
and unimportance of the interests for
the sake of which we reject Christ
should Startle us.
If we concede that the soul is inn
mortal. then the question of its final
destination becomes of supreme inn
portance. If we are to live again 49, d
forever. nothing else in the universe
is of such moment as making sure
that our eternal life is to be a blessed
one. To put off consideration of this
pre-eminent question is sheer folly,
for it is infinitely graver and more
pressing than the question of what we
shall eat and wear, or of what we
shall do in this infinitesimal fragment
of eternity called time.

DINNER STORIES

Farmer Wurzel and his wife Martha
were paying a visit to their nephew,
a gallant member of the navy. 1t was
their first visit to the great seaport
where the ship of which their nephew
formed one of the crew happened op-
portunely to lie in dock. They were
both vastly impressed with the novel
sights they saw round and about the
docks. and when their nephew, with
pardonabie pride, led them round to
where the great auxiliary cruiser lay
they gazed with awe upon the gigan-
tic vessel.
The old man took a few steps near
err to the quay side, and, perceiving
an open portfolio on a level with his
eyes, peered into the interior of the

here, lass, what dost think? The

The grown people entertained the

and suddenly there was a loud bump
and a wild wall. 1t seemed to come
from the direction of the piano.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY w. T. ELLIS

do about it?" His practical bent APP
peared at once. AS Kipling says of
the American,
He turns keen. untroubled face
Home to the instant need of things.
Sore beSet by the dire conditions
which had come to his knowledge,
and so to his sense Of responsibility
Nehemiah found that his influence
equal to the emergency. Like Lincoln,
he was compelled to turn to God for
help by the conviction that he had no
where else to go. The glorious para
dox is forever true, that the shortest
route to anywhere is by way of the
throne of heaven. Concerned for loved
ones beyond our reach. concerned for
poor. distraught China and for the inn
perilled Christians of Turkey, we can
but follow Nehemiah's statesmanlike
example and carry their case to the
king of kings.
A Model Prayer.
The larger part of this first chap
ter of the book of Nehemiah is taken
up with the prayer of the cup-bearer
of the king 1t contains all the ele-
ments of model prayer. First, there
was the humble mind of the suppliant.
He wept and mourned and tasted. Ar
rogance cannot pray. 1t is with reason
that men pray from their knees. 1t
is more important to recognize that
God is on the throne than to know
that we are in a position of need
His prayer exalted Jehovah, that
keepeth covenant" The old-fashioned
prayers of our forefatherS, which
recognized the greatness and SOW
ereignty of God, have gone somewhat
out of fashion, but the flippant fam
iliarity which has in some cases sue
ceeded them, is no improvement
There must be a true spirit of rev.
erence before there can be any real
prayer.
This man prayed a big prayer.
While it is true that nothing that is
great enough to concern one of God s
children is too small to be taken to
Him in prayer, yet it is also true that
no worthy prayer may be made up
wholly of small and selfish petitions.
In Nehemiah's case we see fulfilled
the Psalmist's words, Pray for the
peace of Jerusalem" He carried a
nation on his heart. The religious and
brought tears to his eyes and anguish
to his soul. That is the kind of prayer
that God delights to answer.
Frank, square, open dealing with
God characterized Nehemiah's petit
ton. He confessed his sin and the
merit of his own. All that he asked
was of grace, and not of right
knowledge of the word of God en-
ables one to pray in accord with the
will of God. So Nehemiah pleaded
the promises. and he recited Gods
way and words with the chosen peo-
pie.
Then he left it all with Jehovah
trusting that he might have favor with
the king when he should appear be-
fore him. He knew that the heart OF
xerxes was in the hand of Jehovah
The close of his petition shows that
calm assurance which is the first re-
ward of true prayer.
