We now have few factories and we
should have more. A liberal factory
policy is fine thing for any town.
Industry is the basis Of prosperity,
and manufacturing is the very soul
of industry. The farmer plays mag
nificent and very essential role IN
life, but the fact remains that the
great progress of civilization has. not
been entirely to the farm-it has de-
pended largely upon the factory. But
the farm we cannot do without any
more than we can do without the fac
tory. They are interdependent. Every
dollar of business done here will in
evitably be shared by the people OF
Denison. No man can live for himself
alone in this world. Neither can any
company live for itself. Its failure
means blight to the community and
its success will be distributed through
out the community. He who makes
two blades OF grass to grow where one
grew before, is public benefactor
and the man who makes the oppor-
tunity for two men to work where one
worked before has done a service to
his fellow men. .#....,,.., e."

know. He therefore asked by what
signs the expected one would be
known. The reply was the man you

incoming passengers is the one you
are AFTER" am sorry to say that
many Of us would not be identified
by any such description. The man
in question was of course notorious
for his kindness to those needing
help. 1t was fine tribute to him to
be spoken of in that way.
We can we'll consider that our les
son is leaf in the daily life Of the
Saviour. Let US see what he was do
ing on the day Mark tells us about. The
scene is set at Capernaum up in the
north part of the country on the coast
of the Sea of Galilee. 1t was the Sab
bath of the Jews, and being a good

life to attend the worship of God in

is never time thrown away either at
home or abroad.
So we find Jesus in the Jewish syna-
gogue We have the record that on
one occasion of His being there the
sacred roll was given Him and He read
from the prophet, Isaiah foretelling
of His coming, and then said "This
day are the words of the prophet full
filled before your eyes" Jesus taught
not as the usual scribe, but as one
having authority to explain. OF course
He told Hts hearers the exact truth,

Tug Perth ATnb0y Is Now
at Port Richmond Yards

The Lehigh Valley tug Perth Am
boy, which, together with three Le-
high Valley barges, was the victim of
a German submarine off the Massa-
chusetts coast early on Saturday
morning of last week, has been towed
to the Staten Island S~hipbuiiding
~Company's docks al Port Richmond.
Staten Island inc In now being re-
paired.
The tug had a miraculous escape
from being destroyed. none of the
three torpedoes fred at her hitting
their mark. Although the tug sank
It was not the result of shell fire from
the submersible but from the sinking
barges to which she was made fast
When the pumps had been put into
use by q salvage crew and the other
barges released from the tug the
Perth Amboy was raised and towed
into New York from which place she
was brought to Port Richmond, this
being the same yard in which h was
built.
Three torpedoes were fred by the
u-boat and 1t is estimated that each
shot cost $4,000, making a total OF
$45.0 which 1t cost the submarine
to try and sink the tug and the three
barges which she was towing. The
barges were riddled with holes but the
tug was untouched below the water
line although the fire from the enemy's
shells burned the wood on her upper
decks.
The Perth Amboy was fitted with
bulkheads and Immediately word was
received Of her condition an ocean-go-
ing tug was dispatched to salvage her
The German attack occurred three
miles off Orleans. Mass. on the south
eastern elbow of Cape Cod. Four miles
east Of the Orleans life savings station
the tug was found. Two of three
barges were of steel and as they were
totally submerged, their weight pulled
the tug under until only her bow was
visible to the rescuing crew.
II Is expected hat the tug will be
ready for renewed harbor service
within two months and 1t is likely that
all three of the barges will be recov-
cred. No lives were lost as the result
of the attack, the tug has been recov-
cred and in all likelihood the barges
will hA eeiv1ged. Thus the U-bost
only succeeded in increasing the poSG-
lar sentiment against the ruthless un-
dersea warfare and in spending $45,-
600 in It's efforts.
