Building the City.

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. 1t will
take time and struggle and infinite pa
thence, and if 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
1t. 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 1t worth much. What
God is giving US. and viii givesus in
those great after-the-war days, is a
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 it is not with
these alone that the Kingdom of God
Is builded in the earth and mankind
is won for righteousness and brother
hood.

Republic Tomorrow.

William Fox announces for Tom
Mix new play that fits this daring
star to a T. 1t is called Western
Blood" and will be shown at the Re-
public Theatre tomorrow.
Tom Mix has jumped right TO the
front of popularity among motion pic
ture stars. His clever horsemanship,
his stunts indoors and out. his fights
for the rights of others against the
villainous band that have long infest-
ed the oldtime west. have made his
style of play welcomed among all
classes. He is the real cowboy OF the
screen. He was born and brought up
on the plains, leaving them only TO
complete a college course.
In his latest story he adds TO his
popularity He. continues to show his
excellent and daring horsemanship
Exeruciatingly funny situations ap-
pear in every few feet of the film. Be
side the scenic effects are beautiful
as it is usual with Tom Mix pictures.

The Garden of Eden.

The question of the site of Eden
has greatly agitated theologians; some
placed it near Damascus, others i'm Ar
menia, some In the Caucasus, others
at Hollah, near Babylon; others in
Arabia, and some In Abyssinla. The
Hindus refer 1t to Ceylon, one writer
locates it at the North Pole, and a
learned Swede asserts that 1t was In
Sudermania. Several authorities con-
cur in placing il in q peninsula formed
by the main river of Eden, on the east
side of it, below the confluence of the
lesser rivers which emptied themselves
into it, at about % degrees north lati-
tude, now swallowed up by the Per-
sian gulf, an event which may have
happened at the universal deluge, 1884
B. G. Many, however, think that the
whole story of Eden is legend and
that, accordingly, the man who tries
to find it's site is like the blind man
who looks in dark room for his black
hat that is not there.

MT. HERMoN HOLY GROUND
Many Nations Have Built Their Tenn
pies on the Elevation of Which
David SANG.

Mount Hermon, sacred mountain of
Syria, rises, silent sentinel, above
the fruitful fields and vineyards of
Lebanon and Damascus. Cut off from
it's range of the Antilibanus by the
deep valley of Barada it has kept its
lonely vigil through the ages. The
Hebrews called it Hermit According
to legend the wicked angels in their
fall from Paradise landed on Hermon
and gave it its name.
Like a gray-haired giant the old
mountain helds its white-crowned head
above the clouds. At sunset these
clouds turn to rose and gold, the noun
tain top flaming like a torch against
the sky. AS the sunlight fades the
evening mists wrap old Hermon's head
in walls of gray and white. 1.-THE
white-lfaired old man of the mountain
has donned his nightcap for the night"
the people of the surrounding plains
tell you.
The mountains foot is covered with
the green of oaks, poplars and dense
brush with an occasional luxuriant
vineyard. The wines of Damascus are
famous throughout the Orient. The
mountain springs keep the valleys
well supplied with water. Higher up
are the ruins of former temples, built
centuries ago, their entrances facing
the rising sun. In the old days the
pious folks of the valley climbed the
mountain side to worship on their holy
ground. The temples are of various
nations, including Greek, Roman and
Hebrew.
David sang Of Hermon and the
cooling breath of the winds blowing
from its icy SUBMITS. AS the giver of
all good things, of wine and cool wa
ter, of timber and olives and breezes
In summer days, of tales of wonder
and angels for the winter nights, the
people of old looked to Hermon as a
storehouse of treasure set up by a
beneficent Deity.

Gunners Stuck To Posts.

Meantime the guns crews remained
coolly and calmly at their guns, hop
ing against hope for shot at the sub,
though they knew, could feel, the ship
sinking fast. But in vain. Then came
the orders from the commander on
the bridge to save themselves. This
came so late that there was scarcely
time. Yet these gallant lads wished
only a crack at the U-boat. Very
shortly after. just about four and one
half minutes from the time the tor
pedo was seen, the ship took her final
plunge two of the gunners
with her into eternity.
When these forward guns had to be
abandoned, / ran up with the rest
to the upper deck in order to be bet
ter able to jump clear of the ships
side. This I was about to do when 1
saw the commander still on the bridge.
Believing he might realize from where
he was the imminent plunging of the
ship, jumped off the rail and rushed
up to the bridge to entreat him to get
clear He said she'd soon be gone. but
that he was going down to see to a
boat that had caught on the careened-
up starboard strakes and which the
chief engineer and a Navy chap had
been trying to cast loose and set adrift.

NO FURTHER RESTRICTIONS
ON CANDY MANUFACTURERS
Food Administration Says Additional
Curtailment Will Result in
Harm

The following telegram from the U.
S. Food Administration has been re-
ceivd by the Western Confec- toner's, of
Seattle:
''The United States Food Admins
tration believes that it has already
restricted the candy industry to point
beyond which further reduction in the
use of sugar will do more harm than
good. 1t has taken into account the
fact that the candy industry employs
about two hundred thousand people
and that to cause the industry to close
down would throw a very large ele-
ment of our population out of work.
with present restrictions candy
manufacturers can receive only fifty
per cent of the sugar needed for their
requirements. Even if the sugar was
entirely taken away it would add only
fifteen thousand tons a month for con-
sumption thru other channels. Should
these fifteen thousand tons be divided
prorata among the American people
it would give each one less than one
third of a pound month in addition
to what they now receive. The food
administration does not feel the re-
sultant gain would compensate for the
injury done to an established industry.
"The first restrictions placed on the
use of sugar were directed against the
confectioner and the additional re-
strictions now placed upon his use of
sugar has put the candy industry on
a par below that of any other manu-
featuring industry in the country. The
food administration feels that with the
present restrictions it should not ask
the candy industry for further con-
