|and work of men who have visual
lied the future and then made q
practical plan for realizing their
visions. .y:r~s
Scientific research is more than
an occupation Or form Of activity,
it is an attitude Of faith made mani
fest through works; Of hope un-
daunted by obstacles; and of help
fulness to humanity through the dis
covery of new phenomena and re-
lationships.
It has not been made clear how
the gap between science and re-
search can be bridged; how the
findings of the scientist, on the one
hand, can be made available to the
industrial research worker ;and how,
on the other, the problems of the
industrial worker can be massed in
such a form as to give a sense OF
direction to the pure scientist. The
proposed plan, by which the Nation
al Academy of Science and the four
great engineering societies will work
for a common cause, should eventu-
ally open avenues for the inter
change of thought and opinion which
will be of real service.
Some one within my hearing may
/ be of service! who knows? The align
ment of science and engineering
which has been accomplished marks,
therefore, an epoch in the better
understanding of the forces at work
in our scientific and industrial ad-
vance in this country. Deeply, as
never before, our nation feels the
need of research work.
It has been brought to my atten-
ton that certain charges-those es-
pecially made for exhibit fees and
advertising space in the publication
If our minutes too high. With
the former can recommend nothing,
but I took it upon myself to see if
it were possible to remedy the ad-
vertising cost, and herewith hand
you nineteen letters representing
seventeen and a half pages of space
at the rate of six dollars ($6.0O)
per page, totaling $105.00. With
this information I would recommend
that the price for advertising space
be put at $500 for full page and
$500 for half page space.
There has been a condition exist
ing, especially in the past few con-
ventions, that should be brought
very forcibly to the members Of the
association. 49,, Y,:, ,,,.: :..
I will endeavor to. make it plain.

FINDER OF HIDDEN CHECK
MAY KEEP IT-$5.oo FREE

The Hidden Check Feature is pre-
sented today in this issue of the
paper, in the form of a page of ad.
Sertisements inserted by local con.
Germs.
In each ad upon the special page
there are one or more mis-spelled
words, created by the use of extra
letters.
A five dollar check has been hid.
den upon the premises of one of the
firms represented upon this page
The check has been made payable to
finder, in accordance with the rules
of the Hidden Check Feature.
To find the check read each adver.
tisement carefully, picking out the
extra letters. Form those letters in.
to words, and the words into "a sen.
tence. When the correct sentence
has been solved, it will tell the ex.
act hiding place of the check.
No one can locate the check with
out first solving the sentence, and
the check is payable only upon the
condition that it be handed in, OF
sent to the Feature Man at The Press
and Banner Office, accompanied with
a copy of the sentence worked out

The idea of the special page is tt
call attention to the most progress

tial saving for the readers. .
The first person to solve the sen
tence and appear to claim the re

Remember, the solving of the sen
tence must be proven by bringing

ner, in order to claim the reward.

II hope that none viii be offended.
but that all within my hearing will;
take unto themselves the part that
belongs to them. We all know that
in every community, gathering, or
association, there are two kinds OF
people; those who only think Of
their own selfish interests without
regard to others, and those who have
a broader view Of life always having
regard for others and their general
good. The first kind are parasites,
mere 'lookers on in Verona" The
prosperity of the association is large
ly measured by. the number Of tho
last kind of members it possesses
And you will find that the watch
word which these good members re-
gard as the shibboleth of success is
cooperation; thus bound we would
have the members, meeting on COM
mon grounds to discuss common
problems. Differences being swept
aside, small contentious points would
give way before the strong purpose
which underlies the organization.
I hope this association can boast
of having none of the first kind of
members mentioned hereafter. But
let US all cooperate with spirit Of
mutual helpfulness, Of willingness
to yield something for the attain
ment Of a great end. This applies
to the social, political and business
life of the association.
Lack of interest on the part OF
members when papers are being
read or addresses delivered is very
noticeable and quite annoying. It Is
manifest that an address on electri-
cal matters will have less interest to
water works or supply man tnan
an address along the line of his spe-
cialty and wise versa; but gentle
men, due courtesy to our speakers
many of whom come from great dis
tances-requires the closest atten-
ton on the part of all; and again,
there is something in every address
that will be of profit to each member
if close attention is accorded. No
speaker desires to address empty
benches. In closing, I urge every
member to become a "CO-OPERA-
TING" member, attending each
session, listening attentively to every
speaker obtaining from each dehv-
erance the maximum amount OF
good If each member will thus do,
lthe rich fruits of this gathering will
be manifested in future months. I
thank you.

dial invitation to parents, teachers
and young people to attend the

important and at the same time a
very interesting question: A ques-
ton in which every parent, child and
teacher should be interested.
His subject will be: "To what

FAREWELL TRIP

After giving near two score years
of his life to railroading in western
Colorado. w. ID. Lee, general super
intendent of the Rio Grande Southern,
retires from the service, August list.
Last evening he arrived from Tellu-
ride and this morning departed for
Denver, his farewell trip over the road
with which he has been associated for
so many years. At every point he
bade goodby to the railroad boys and
other friends and received their heart
felt wishes for the best things that
life can give during his declining
years. Mr.. Lee is not planning a
quiet useless life, after he leaves the
railroad service. He has arranged to
start for the Philippines in few days
where he has valuable timber inter-
ests. He expects to remain a number
of months actively directing the ope-
rations at the lumber plant. Mrs. Lee
will probably join him later in the
season. On his return to the United
States he will give close attention
to other holdings.

PETROGRAD, July 27. The
struggle of Premier Kerensky and the

a counter revolution is indicated in
two speeches recently delivered. "The
government is determined not TO let
the country relapse in the direction
of the old regime" he said.
