The new and better world after the
war. of which we dream these days,
will not build itself any more than
the rubble which marks the site Of
Ypres or LOuvain will come together
Of itself into beautiful and splendid
buildings, observes a writer. It will
take time and struggle and infinite Pc
tieRce, and II men and women are not
willing to pay the price Of new and
better world. such will not come mere
~ because they have airy visions Of
It. Much Of our talk about better
things to come is too cheap and easy
and has not enough of grip and pur-
pose to make It worth much. What
God is giving us, and will give us in
those great after-the-war days, il q
wonderful opportunity, but we shall
have to meet that opportunity with
heroic endeavor and self-sacrificing eff
fort before it can possibly become
fruitful. Talk is cheap and dreams are
sweet and inspiring, but 1t Is not with
these alone that the Kingdom Of God
Is builded in the earth and mankind
Is won for Righteousness and brother
hood.

Cement From Beet Sugar.

A result of experiments In French
factories is the production Of an excel
lent cement as a by-product of beet
sugar refining. The first step In the.
production of sugar from beets is boil
ing them. It has heretofore been GUS
tomary to throw away us value, ,ss the
scum formed on the caldrons. But 1t
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities Of car
Donate of lime. 1t is estimated that
1000 tons of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons of beets.
To this quantity of the carbonate 400
tons of clay is added, the resultant
product being good cement. The
best scum is pumped into large reser-
votrs and allowed to evaporate for
certain length Of time before being
mixed with the clay. 1t Is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such as are used in
making Portland cement.-The Argo-

There will be no June term of Circuit
Court in Gillian county this year. Or.
dinarily court would have convened
next week but has been called off for
the reasons that the court feels that to
take the farmers from their work at
the present time would have a tendency
to lessen crop production when every
bushel Is needed: that it will save the
county probably $500 in jury fees and
that the officers of the court are busy
with war activities such as the Red
Gross. Armenian and Assyrian relief
drives and in the sale of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps. and in mobilizing
and preparing the boys who are called
for service. All this is in line with
President Wilson's request that every.
