Aftermath
the street

The disastrous fire which
caused the terrible calamity to
the family of John Dewitt on
the night of July A will live in
the memory Of our people. We
wish the we could forget it.
Such things will happen. Since
the beginning of time calamities
have befallen mankind. Job of
Bible history suffered more than
any man of ancient times, yet
Job lived and his patience and
love of God still lives to bless
mankind.
Before the flames Of the burn
ing house had died out the Snow
fake Relief Society and the
whole neighborhood were busy
collection aid for the unfortunate
family. This was done purely
for the love of man to man and
thru a Christian spirit. John
Dewitt is an energetic self-sup-
porting man. But this fact was
not to be considered in our COM
ing to his relief in this the dark
est hour of his life. Food, cloth
ing and supplies and money was
given freely. With many of us
we had just spent our spare
dollars in War Saving Stamps,
yet we managed to get a few
more dollars and gave our mites
as freely as in the tender human
sympathy we feel for a fellow
being in dire distress. Those
who are blessed with substantial
incomes gave literally. In this
way we did our duty and feel
the better for it, no matter how
little or much we gave.
We wish we could do more.
We have done the human part.
To God we leave the rest-to
Him we leave that part which is
an impossibility with man.

cannot Grow Coffee In Europe.

Attempts were made by the Dutch
to introduce coffee cultivation In Eu-
rope, but without success, as the cli-
matte conditions were not favorable. A
number Of plants were raised in the
hOthOuses of the botanical gardens at
Amsterdam, and the mayor of that city
sent some of these plants as a present
to King Louis XIV Of France, who had
them cared for in the hothouses of the
"Jardine des Plants" In Paris, where
they yielded several crops.

In our mention of the Dewitt
calamity last week, having to
rush the work in order to meet
the early Friday mail south. we
did not learn all the particulars.
It was hard to get what we did.
No one wanted to tell us any,
thing simply because the shock
was so great to all that no one
could talk about it. We men
toned that Mrs. Hall and Mrs.
Nelson administered to the suf-
fering as best they could. We
did not know that Aunt" En-
Smith was one of the first to give
first aid. We make this mention
because at the time we went to
press with our last weeks issue
the town was in confusion, hence
the oversight.

Help in Fighting Mosquitoes.

In fighting the mosquito pest 1t is
well to remember that sallow stagnant
pools may often be eliminated through
planting Of eucalypts, either in or
about such pools. These are very
thirsty trees and will drink up and
keep dry very considerable areas after
the trees have attained some size.
Swamps in Italy and France have been
reclaimed through use of eucalypts.

Spirit of Success.

A writer in Physical Culture denomi-
mates enthusiasm as the most precious
possession a man may have. 1t may be
inconsistent from lack Of intelligent d.

boiling just enough, but 1t is the spirit
that moves the world. Enthusiasm is a
quality that keeps its possessor bright,
