TO STABILIZE STOCK
SHIPMENTS ON D0ADS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Beginning
Monday December 10th, all shipments
of live stock into the Chicago market
will be Stabilized in accordance with
plan recently suggested by the Rail
roads war board. This plan which al
so tends to stabilize prices was adop-
ted at a conference of representatives
Of the Chicago Car Service committee
of the Railroad War Board, the Federal
Food Administration, growers anu
shippers of live stock, commission
men and packing interests.
Under the old plan which allowed
unrestricted shipments Of live stock,
heavy consignments of cattle would ar
rive in Chicago on one or two days of
the week and light consignments dur
ing the remainder To avoid all the
undesirable results was evolved and
will govern all shipments on an after
December 10th.
Under this plan, within one approx
imately 300 miles in Chicago, live
stock will be received for shipment
To reach the Chicago market OnlV on
Tuesdah, Thursday, Friday or Satur-
day; within the second zone beyond
300 miles from Chicago and up to the
SO hour limit for shipments of live
stock, shipments will be received to
reach the Chicago market on Monday,
Wednesday, Friday or Saturday; the
third zone embraces all territory out
side of the sc hour licit from Chicago
and from this zone shipments of live
stock may be made at any time to
reach Chicago market on any week
day.
1t is possible that this system of
stabilizing shipments and prices of live
stock will be extended with necessary
modification to all the big live stock
markets os the country.

TEMPLES.

In lands afar. long years ago,
The heather formed their shrines
In temples less for use than show,
or beautiful designs.
And Christians following the trend.
Cathedrals gorgeous built,
Their faith decadent to defend,
And adding to their guilt.
They were resplendent works OF art.
Yet to the passerby,
Who had within the hearing heart.
They uttered one long cry.
Were meant to honor Him who came
To open heavens door;
Instead they brought distress and
shame
To novels Of the poor.
For each foundation stone was laid
Upon living soul.
While autocrats would masquerade.
Bewolved in priestly stole.
VIII churches ever. thru new birth.
Learn from the living Word,
That those who house the poor of
earth,
Build temples to their Lerd?
In hearts alone where Truth abides.
With Love In full control,
There stand, unmoved by storms or
tides.
Tie temples Of the soul.

PRAISE

We're eager for money, we hunger
for fame.
We battle for things to possess:
The house we build we want to have
filed
With the treasurers that STAND for
success.
But when it's all over and peace set
ties down,
In the glow of the low sinking sun.
We want to recall, be IL ever SO small.
Some unselfish service we've done.
The top OF the ladder we struggle I'd
reach,
We scramble and fight for a place:
We are slaves to our pride. and we're
unsatisfied
Unless we are up in the race.
But deep In the breasts of us an
there's the wish
AS we journey thru life to be known
AS the big-bearted men who took
time now and then
To serve some one, not of their own
We'd rather be praised for the helm
we have been
Than cheered for the money we've
made;
We want men to say, when our souls
pass away,
We were ready and willing to aid.
We fight and we scramble for fortuna
and fame
lined.
But the greatest Of praise at the end
Is to have il 81 said we were k,na

KNOWING OURSELVES.

The Greeks had a motto. Know

or some conception foreign to his in

nature that he would condemn unspar-
mgly If demonstrated in others.
The possibilities of wickednes, in
an OF US is a matter of which nearly
all are poorly informed. II takes some
kind of jolt to get us acquainted with

or less definitely formed idea OF what
we wish to he ana Of what we wish
others to estimate us But stnl we 70

our imperfections for the purpose OF
correcting them.
In youth We begin TO know ourselves
AZ growing perception and under
standing Is unfolded with tho passing
years. But hero again the natural un-
folding OF IA healthy self-consciousness
la hampered and distorted by the con-
sciontlous efforts OF elders to make
us believe that whatever Is natural and
| pleasant Is something to be avoided as
though 1t were poison; that the nat
ural bent Of growing humanity is un-
deniaoly more evil than good and that
righteousness is only attained by re-
striction. Doubtless there is enough
eyil in every human heart, that unre-
strained by any creed, would develop
into a disastrous incorrgibility. Yet
the remedy should be directed toward
the r'ght, rather than constant ham
things. We soon learn to be arti-
ficlal, TO be hypocritical to value np-
pearances more than realities. and
consequently grow into false csti-
mate Of humanity in general and our
selves in particular. That is why, IL
We ever learn TO know ourselves. we
have got TO undertake the job of get
ting acquainted after we have attained
the age to be discreet and discrimi-
nate. 10 understand the difference be-
tween the values of outward appear
ances and inward motives Of action.
Very few of us are natural. whether
1t be in good or bad. Most of us wear
mask to others and becoming so
used to this disguise we soon forget
to estimate our own true valuation.
We wear a mask in business. We deal
with our fellow man in an unnatural
way and on a false basis. We take
for granted either n confidence we do
not possess or a suspicion that is un-
Just. We largely estimate the char
acter OF others by our own inward
conceptions We are unable to either
shake off the suspicion or unwilling
TO be frank with the other fellow.
Some Of us wear masks in our homes.
We are not really the austere ana
metIculous creatures we try TO make
our children believe. We wear a mask
at church sometimes-we do not be-
lieve the things we would make others
think We believe-we sit with solemn
countenances, as though religion were
n matter OF self-accusation altogether.
while really our minds are far away
from church and the things pertain
ing thereto. And the pitiful part of
1t Is that so many Of us arc unaware
of the extent OF our self deception or
OF the bitterness Of our failure to long
deceive others. What We need to do
Is to cease such strenuous endeavors 10
appear right when the real necessity
is TO get down in our hearts and purify
the motives that govern our acts

TIE BALANCE WHEEL,

IT has been said that it takes all
kinds OF people to make world.
Pro badly this is so. for It would be a
strange and cheerless world il hu-
manity were reduced-or. il you like
tho word better. elevated-to a dead
level Of ability and conception. In
other words. IL there were not all kinds
OF people in the world. it would be n
dismal world. Some of the kinds we
have could no doubt be well spared.
yet we are persuaded that nothing I'm
nature is useless, and that even the
kinds Of people whom we are mos,
willing 10 do without have a mission
TO perform that works together in in
finite purpose for the ultimate good
OF all The one thing that assures
us that the dream of a human utopia
and leveling of humanity such as
preached by II. ID. Wells and other
philosophers as coming in future
golden era can never be an accom-
plishcd fact is that we can find in this
world no man to whom we can point
and say that he Is either mentally or
physically perfectly balanced. Not
only Is this an automatic truth, but
there has yet been no appearance of n
likelihood that time Will evolve.a race
OF men In whom this popularity will
have disappeared
Were II not true that man is thus
unbalanced, some In one direction. and
some in another, there would be no
differences OF opinion on politics or
religion, or anything else where the
translation and application of funda-
mental principles was involved. IL
people saw things perfectly and un-
mistakably there would be no room
for argument And nothing so serves
to urge men to endeavors for better
ment and progress as argument. When
n thing Ia universally conceded there
is an end to Advancement in that line
Differences must arise and arguments
rage or we would settle down into n
swamp of fsatisfaction and mental
la2Incss 1t would seem therefore that
perfect universal equilibrium is unde-
sirable. Mankind climbs upward only
through struggle. Where there 4, n,
Incentive to struggle advancement
ceases.
Yet there remains the indisputable
fact that truth Is eternal and nm
chGngoable. Must everyone be e,tner
right or wrong according TO the limi-
tations OF his bent of mind? II So.
where is the responsibility for either
good or evil? one man grasps n part
OF the truth and Il seems TO him ms
though he had gotten all that was
worth while. He looks doown with
pity and possibly resentment on those
who have better grasp on some other
truth but refuse to accept his estimate
of the one which he has made n
hobby Consequently there are politi-
cal parties and religious denomina-
tions, and divisions and factions in
every other attempt at social CO. opera-
tion. In this is our salvation and the
spur that forces us onward and up
ward. Mankind will never take kindly
to the idea of having all human beings
turned out on uniform pattern lust
like the mechanical products OF a
machine. whether the likeness be one
OF physical or intellectual similarity
