also to be seen here. In another

homemade furniture were the points
toward which the attention OF the

anecdotes of the
Famous

General Pershing's recent visit to
New York was the occasion of
great enthusiasm, and he was
given tremendous reception. He
is admittedly one of the most popus
lar men in military circles today.
What the French think of him was
shown by the proposal, put forward
almost Immediately after he left
French soil, to present the American
Government with the special train
which Pershing used in France as
a souvenir of Americas part in the
war.
Some little while before his re-
turn the American general received
a big offer from a theatrical man
ager In New York to appear in the
halls and give short talks about
the war. He smiled. and put the
letter aside; but the New York
manager was persistent and meant
to do business If he could. A couple
of weeks later the manager tele-
graphed:
Have you entertained my propo-
sition?"
Pershing's reply ran:
No; but your proposition has en-
tertained me-"
Apropos Of early passions, a story
was recently told by the father of
the little boy who provided "the
laugh" He was trying to find out
whether his young hopeful had any
special leanings, and asked him
what he wanted to be when he grew
up. The boy thought a long time.

WeII.Preserved Stakes.

Some of the piles in use in Alnster-
dam are three to four hundred years
old. That part which is not in the
ground in salt water is often bored
by a pile worm near the surface, but
is preserved by driving in nails with
very large heads, so as to give the
pile an iron coating. This coating is
then transformed by the water into
layer of rust, which protects the wood
from the pile worm. This process
must be repeated every fifteen years.

THE CHURCH AND THE
WAGE GARNER
Mill Employe Occupies Pulpit
Declares Laborer Asks Only.
Square Deal from Church.

The second Of thu series Of "Ser-
mons" by laymen on the question Of
"How Can the Church Better Serve
the Community" was given Sunday
evening In the Christian church by
", O. Shields, m smploye Of the
Boise Paystte sswmill and = member
Of the Loyal Legion Of Loggers and
Lumbermen. His subject WAS 'AHow
Can the Church Best Serve the Wage
Farmers Of Emmett"
Mr.. Shields delivered good ad-
dress to an audience filling the house.
He explained that the four LIS meant
the Loyal Legion OF Loggers and
Lumbermen which was organized
during the war under the direction
Of the u. S. government for the put-
pose Of getting out material needed
in the aviation department. Since
the war the mill owners and produc-
ers have decided to continue the or
fanization on account OF it's being
such satisfactory arrangement. The
slogan Of the organization is "A
square deal for every one" Their
grievances are settled by grievance
committee representing both the owr-
ers and producers in the mills. The
employers and employees come to-
gethsr and discuss and adjust their
differences Ia q fair way. The speak
err said that ia most organizations
labor and capital were selfish and
antaeonistie TO each other, and for
that reason could not adjust their
differences,
All that the laboring man or woman
asks Of the church is a square deal.
The laboring man wants to be met
with hearty handshake. Too many
ministers are afraid TO preach a full
gospel There is too much doctrinal
preaching, too much theology, and
not enough Of Christ. India, China
and Japan are grooming under tkeso-
iogy. but they are hungry Sor the
Christ story.
In the parable of the Iieh Man and
lazarus the former di,d and went

because he could not see the poor beg

way in which we can evangelize the
