many, France, and other countries
thought they were a little superior
to the common class of people. Now,
even the poorest man has had the
privilege of seeing and experiencing
greater things. If only capital and
labor could in some way be equalized.
The clash between the Americans
and Philippians i'm Washington,
! Chicago, and some other places, re-
sulting in the loss of many lives,
bodies no good The Southern Rail
way has the Jim Crow" system Of
cars for travelling, the whites, blacks
and semi-blacks have separate COM
partments. In many other walks of
life they are on an equality.
Fifteen years ago I wrote the fol-
! lowing about "Melrose needs" for the
local papers: I'VE need a daily
freight. We need a church and Sun
day school building. We need a
daily freight. We need a trolley line.
We need better roads. We need a
lumber yard. We need a good shoe
maker. We need a livery stable. We
need brick and cement pavements.
We need street lights in front of
business places. We need a telephone
exchange. We need a postoffice. We
need a Public Hall" OF the twelve
needs" above enumerated, we only
succeeded in getting two: Better
roads and, instead of livery stable,
a garage"
Rev. Jefferson, a Congregational
minister, in New York City, recently
preached powerful sermon on the
text as found in 1 Cor. 1921, "A
still more excellent way" In part he

ton than we were eight months ago.
Then we were fighting with weapons
of steel. We had faith i'm our weap-
ons, and we felt that victory was
sure. The fighting ceased and we
said with jubilant voices, Peace has
come" But, alas, there is no peace
There is less harmony in the world
now than there was before the
much jealousy, vanity, suspicion,
malice, greed and ill-will. The only
remedy to overcome this, and the
only force that never fails is Love.
Recently we had an interesting
conversation with a man, though past
three score and ten, is well preserv-
ed, able to do what many younger
men would not care to undertake /
He does not hesitate to walk 10 to |
p miles per day, yet he would not
be compelled to walk a. mile He
says in his younger days 25 to 80 |
miles was his average hike, taken /
especially on the Sabbath /
If all the distances he walked in his /
lifetime were put together, he says I
it would mean quite start in going
round the world. He attributes his
strength and endurance to good,
food in his younger days,
such as whole wheat bread and corn
cakes, and in outdoor exercises. The
man in question is a mechanic and
business man, and is seen ON our
streets and at the ore mine almost
every week.
In Holland, noted for it's fine Hol-
stein cattle, milk bars are formed
in towns and cities, where
4 glass of rich milk can be bought
or three cents. Recently, i'm Ameri-
"a, at a Dairy Farm Exposition,
thousands; Of people drank milk at the
BAR In place OF strong beverages,
ind these new, refreshing and in
yigorating places to quench the thirst
ire springing up everywhere.
The continued scarcity of help in
he West, with thousands OF acres or
srain to harvest, has caused an in
,enious man to invent what is known
O be the largest machine of it's kind ,
n the world, will cut and thresh 100
Icres per day. 1t Is drawn Dy 5J-
lorse power tractor, cuts a swath
0x34 feet wide, and is operated by
few men compared to the primitive
Methods of just a few years ago. s
