"There are many persons, firms or

said articles and products are readily
available to every section Of the State

far there is nothing to show that
this has been done.
Montgomery of course is being

Mamma of $1,000. 100000.

Americas war loan of $7,oOooco.-
900 surpasscs the powers Of the NINA
to grasp. Spent at the rate of dollar
a minute it would take 13.3lS years
to dispose of the appropriation. Loan
ed out at 6 per cent. $13 could be
spent every second for all indefinite
period without touching the principal.
The interest on the loan is greater
than the entire running expenses or
the government less than half cen
fury ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs of the gov
ernrncnt Tor fully seven years on the
basis of the annual expenditures for
the last decade Another and more
cheerful way of looking at the situa-
ton is that. great as the loan is, the
wealth Of the United States is such
that it amounts to the lending OF 81

every inhabitant would cancel the prin-

Heathen Shrines.

After months spent in idolatrous
lands 1 have been unable to see much
real worship In heather shrines. The
educated worship with their tongues
in their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount Of real worship that exists In
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib Of departed lit
tie one and tie it to the statue Of Jizo,
the god Of motherhood. Sometimes an
old man or woman, almost blind, will
enter the temple and rub the eyes Of
wooden god and then rub his own In
the hope that eternal darkness may
not close in on his affrighted soul. in
some places Buddhist services are as
dignified, as well attended and AS help
full as our own.-Maynard Owen VIII
