had left the farm, was a clerk In II
country store. His salary vas $3.50 a
week, and ON It he supported a wife
and child and saved the capital OF $50
with which he started in business.
He lived to see his company operate
LOGS stores in the United States and
to erect and give his name 10 the
~loftiest habitahle edifice ever erected

DAILY STRENGTH AND CHEER.
Compiled by DOM q. Qulnius. the
Sunshine Man.

Those who fear God need not fear
want. Through all these long years
the Lord has always found meat for
his own children. whether they have
been in the wilderness. or by the brook
Cherith, or in captivity. - in the mids
Of famine. Hitherto the Lord has Civ,
en- us day by day our daily bread, and
we doubt not that He will continue
to feed us till we want no more.
AS to the higher and greater bless
ings of the covenant OF grace, He VIII
never cease to supply them as our
case demands. He is mindful that He
made the covenant, and never acts as
II he regretted 1t. He is mindful OF
it when we provoke Him to destroy
| and comfort us, even as he engaged
to do. He is mindful of every 1ot ano
little Of his engagements, never surfer
ing one of His words to fall to the
\ ground.
We are sadly unmindful Of our God,
| but He Is graciously mindful or us.

the surety of the covenant, nor ms
Holy Spirit, who actively carISes OUT
the covenant; nor His W honor, which
is bound UP with the covenant. Hence

ABOUT HOG FORAGE.

On lmost every farm where hogs
are kept there comes a time when grass
is gone and when there is no forage
for the hogs until the late fall. 1t has
been shown so many times that eco
nomical pork production hinges upon
cheap forage that the man who has a
bunch OF hogs should see to it that
provision is made for this period when
forage is not to be had. In the alb
sence of alfalfa or clover pasture, prob
ably rape is the next best hog forage,
Generally, the best results are secured
when II is planted on a rich piece OF
ground. 1t is a good scheme to keel
the pigs out of 1t when the dew is on
as 1t may make the cars and belly
sore. A mixture of oats and rape has
been reported satisfactory as hog for
age by some farmers,-Farm Life.

Vast numbers of ~mammohts, ii appears,

these mammoths could be mined

vious to everybody as it is 10 those
who study it with disintercsted
thought, that this is the central and
essential covenant Of the whole peace.
You would think to hear some
men discuss this covenant, that it
is an arrangement for sending men
abroad again just as soon as pos
sible. 1t is the only conceivable
arrangement which will prevent our
sending our men abroad again very
soon. And. if | may use very COM
mon expression, would say if it is
not to be this arrangement. what
arrangement do you suggest to
secure the peace of the world. 1t is
a case of put up or shut up
"Opposition is not going to save
the world: Negations are not going
to construct the policies OF man
kind. A great plan is the only thing
that can defeat a great plan. The
only triumphant ideas in this world
are ideas that are organized, for the
only thing that equals an organized
programme is better programme.
"li' this is not the way to secure
peace, | beg that the way may be
pointed out If we must reject this
way, then | beg that before | am
sent to ask Germany to make new
kind OF peace with us, | should be
given specific instructions as to
what kind Of peace it is to be.
"If the gentlemen who don't like
what was done in Paris think that
they can do something better, beg
that they will hold their convention
soon and do it now. They cannot,
in conscience, or good faith, deprive
US of this great work of peace with
out substituting some other that is
better.
"And so. my fellow citizens, look
forward with profound qualification
to the time which ! believe will not
now much longer be delayed when
the American people can say to their
fellows in all parts of the world eve
are the friends of liberty; we have
joined with the rest of mankind in
securing the guarantees of liberty;

Japanese peace delegation, in regard
to Japans policy in Shantung, elected
a reply yesterday from Mr. Tai-Chi

The Chinese delegate emphasized the
worthlessness of the restoration of
China's political rights in Kiao-chau
II Japan retains economic control of
the whole Shantung peninsula. Dis
cussing Mr.. Matsuka's assertion that
Japan wishes to establish an inter
national settlement in Tsing-tao, he
asserts that the American Standard

sell its premises there and that japan
rs attempting to exclude American and
european trade from Manchuria. Mr..
