PRESBYTERIAN NOTES.

Prof. Fosters highly patriotic and
scholarly address, given last Sunday
evening as part of the patriotic pro-
gram was listened to with evident ap-
probation by the audience. The young
people, also. who took part, entered ad-
mirably into the spirit of the occasion.
Rev. J. II. Cramps. Mrs. Cramps and
Mrs. Wiltse left on Monday for Glen
wood Springs. the former to attend
the Presbytery, where he preached the
opening sermon Tuesday evening and
the two ladies' to attend the annual
Presbyterial meeting Of the Momen's
Missionery society. going as delegates
from the local society.
The opening exercises of the Sun
day school last Sunday conducted by
the primary department under Mrs. C..
l.. Jones' leadership were most inter
esting. Mrs. Jones has been superin-
tendent OF the primary department for
some time and will be sadly missed
by the little people and the Sunday
school workers when she leaves soon
for her new home in Salt Lake.
Miss Minnie Sweitzer returned Mon
day from Milwaukee. Wisconsin, where
she spent the winter in the study of
music. acting also as accompanist for
her cousin in his music studio

JECT GOVERNMENT CONTRACT

AT the special meeting of the pro-
ject water users to be held in May,
every member of the association
proposed contract with the govern
ment
This contract will be published in
our local newspapers and sent to
members of the association 1t is i'm
portant that every member of the
association study it until he under
stands it.
No one else can do this for you, and
so far as your interests in this val
ley are concerned you will never be
called upon to attend to a more i'm
portant matter. There are no trick
phrases in the contract. You can un-
derstand it if you will attend to it.
Especially should it be understood
that if We fail to adopt the contract
in its present form at the May meet
ing we shall lose all the benefits of
any further postponement in the
opening of the project, and the first
installment of our construction
charges will become due on the first
of next December.
If we adopt the contract the first
installment of our construction
charges will not become due until
December l, 1922.
II we adopt the contract We do not
obligate ourselves to take over the
management of the project of any
particular time, but we do obligate
ourselves to accept the provisions of
this contract whenever we become
ready to take over the management.
In the consideration OF this ques-
ton at the special meeting it will not
be in order to propose any alteration
or amendment of the form of contract
submitted. The contract has been
the subject Of negotiation between
the weter users and the government
for nearly a year. It's present form
has resulted from demands and con-
cessions made by both sides after the
thorough discussion of every clause.
sentence and word of the whole con-
tract No further alterations will be
considered by the government. There
fore, the only question to be decided
in reference to this contract in its

the contract or do we not?

This may be done by:
First By calling the physician in
the morning whenever possible so that
he may arrange his work for the day.
Second. By avoiding unnecessary
night calls. We find by experience
that nearly all night calls are unnec.
essary; that the call might better have
been made before night. or failing in
this. could as well have waited until
morning. A doctor can not do effec-
tive work without necessary rest.
from now on, double fees will be
charged for all night calls
Third. In outlying districts where
road conditions are such that it is diff.
ficult to make the calls by automobile.
transportation should be arranged.

Simple Glass Cement,

The amateur worker who desires
to make trough or tank, or to repair
dishes and receptacles of glass or
other material for Photographic
purposes, may be glad to know Of an
old recipe for producing suitable
cement for the purpose. Take about
half pound Of finely pulverized
stone and glass Tin equal proportion,
Il. e., quarter pound of each1, and
after thoroughly mixing 1t with four
ounces of sulphur, subject the com!
pound to moderate heat until the
sulphur melts. At this point stir
wen until the whole Is homogeneous,
and then pour into mold until re-
quired for use. When actually
wanted it should be reheated to 24S
degrees Fahrenheit, at which tempera-
ture 1t melts freely and used in the
usual manner according to the nature
Of the particular work in hand. This
cement is recommended as being abb
solutely impervious to water, it reslsts
acids and all atmospheric action, is not
affected by boiling water, and even at
temperature of 800 degrees 1t holds
firmly and remains hard.

problems of wealth, poverty, incom

problems of wealth, poverty, incom.
petence and unemployment.
Wealth and poverty are inevitable
in a degree, and permanent. There is
no final panacea for the ills of either.
Weakness is as menacing as strength.
But problems of wealth and poverty
alike may be solved through mutual
aid and applied intelligence.
1t is not the purpose to discuss the
application Of international principles
to the internal problems of the state
Yet it is manifest that the same doc.
trines apply alike to national and in
ternational relations. Conquest, mo-
nopciy, and "cut-throat competition"
are just as disastrous in economic and
industrial systems as in affairs of
state. The freedom of the individual
is vital in democracy, but equally so
is Its necessary limitation of noninter
ference with the liberty Of others. And
this principle must hold in financial
and commercial as well as in personal
relations. The freedom for which our
fathers c0ntended was freedom of tho
mind, not liberty to use stored-up
wealth or wide7ranging combination as
instruments Of industrial or social op-
preston. The theory and practice of
cooperation must bind society togeth-
err as 1t must unite the nations of the
world. For equality, freedom and JUS
tice to all men and all races form the
conditions under which civilization
may endure.
The great war must bring many
great changes. Behind every war
turks revolution" We may see uni
versal revolution or universal collapse.
The precepts of Jesus and the religion
associated with his name must have
tremendous meaning or they will have
none. The hope of the world is that
this meaning is real and that the
inevitable social revolutions may be
hloodless, while the institutions they
sweep away may he precisely those
which most impede human advance
ment.
Democracy may not necessarily
build up great nations, but permanent
greatness can rest on no other founda-
ton. For the future the people must
indeed be everything.
In the prophetic words Of Barbusse
"The 100000 slaves hurled upon
one another in the mud Of war by
guilt and error shall uplift their hui
man faces and at last reveal the germ
Of determining WILL The future is
in the hands Of these slaves. The al
lance to he cemented some day by
those whose numbers and whose mis-
cry alike are infinite will transform
the whole worlds"

Animals Ewes.

The eyes of an animal can only work
together when they can be brought to
bear upon an object Mt the same time
so that, as q rule, the eyes Of fish
must work more or less independently.
This Is sometimes also the case when
the eyes can cooperate, as anyone who
watches q plaice or other flat fish In
an aquarium will soon discover
Many animals possess more than
two eyes, which do not act together. A
leech, for example, has ten eyes on the
top Of its head, which do not work in
concerts and q kind of marine worm
has two eyes on the head and row
down each side of the body. Some liz
ards have an extra eye on the top Of
the head, which does not act with the
other two. A bee or wasp has two
large, compound eyes, which possibly
help each other, and are used for near
vision, and also three little simple eyes
on the top of the head, which are en-
ployed for seeing things long way
off. They are well eqipped.
