Does your heart go out to the worthy boy and girl bereft by the Grim Reaper of father and mother, and left alone in the world without the fostering care of those to whom &hey are naturally most dear in the world?
 Then you will understand why Southern Baptists have established crphanages in fifteen states, are caring for 5000 such children in those homes and training them for useful lives in the world.
 But the need is far greater than the ability of these institutions to meet it. While five thousand children are being cared for in these orphanages, there are on the waiting list of these institutions fully five thousand more equally worthy, fatherless and moth erless boys and girls who want the privileges which these orphanages af- ford but which must be denied them for the present because there is no room with which to shelter more of them.

 church or meeting house. it has been
 ascertained by the campaign head
 quarters. By reason of the large mum
 Der of public officials residing there
 and the large number of people who
 go there from every section of tue
 county to attend the sessions of the
 various courts, pay their taxes and
 the like it is regarded that the county seat towns are of especial importance and it is hoped that before the next tive years have passed there will be an active Baptist church in every cOunty-seat in the South.
 Engaged in the work of state mis- sions at present are 1924 missionaries. and while this may seem like a reason able number, when the vast territory to be served is considered it has been found that fully 900 extra men and women are needed at once, for in ad- dition to reaching the people who are not christians there are many weak. struggling churches which need assist ance and whose members need devel- Opment. In the several states of the Southern Baptist convention, for in- stance, there are 5000 churches with a membership of many thousand which give but very little to any interest of the denomination and which are doing but very small things for the uplift of their communities.
 In addition to these very weak churches, many of which have no pas tor, there are in the various states a total of 196SS churches which have preaching services only once a month, 5000 churches which have services only once month, and only about 2,200 full time churches. Part of the Sl1 OO0,000 apportioned for state mis- sions will go to the strengthening of the weak churches and the bringing of them to full-time pastorates where possible.
 Leaders in the campaign have sought to care for every interest of the denomination In the $75,OOO .O0O that Is asked in cash and five-year pledges during Victory Week, Novem- Der SO-Deeember 2, when the final drive will be made, but they recognize that the future development of the church depends in a great measure upon the development of the churches at home which Is the peculiar task of state missions.

TICKS ARE DRIVEN OUT

 in His Statement.

Little Rock, Oct. 23.-"Since Arkan- sas began to eradicate the cattle tick in 1907," says Dr. R. M. Cow. state veterinarian, there are A counties that have completed the work, and in these counties a free movement of good cattle in and ou is resulting in a pro- fitable cattle raising industry in that section. It is only question of a lit tie more time until the entire state will have gotten fro thunder a handicap un- der which no state or county has ever been able to make progress in cattle raising
 The other 31 counties in Arkansas that still harbor the tick are getting rid of them by the use of 3895 concrete dipping vats, in which over 600000 cattle are dipped every month and it is expected that of these 31 counties that about 14 or 15 will have completed their job by December 1 of this year,
 fter which a stream of cattle can start 10 the markets at prices which will amount to at least $10 per head more than cattle of the same grade would bring if shipped as quarantined cattle for immediate slaughter, and at the same lime the importation of better breeding animals can begin and the cattle-raising industry begin establish ing itself on safe and profitable basis Start Dipping in Spring.
 'Liping cattle for the eradication of the cattle tick begins in the spring and is carried on through the warm weather months at periods of 14 days between clippings These frequent dipping are necessary, for the reason that cattle ticks must be prevented from reproducing themselves if they are to be eradicated, and longer inter- vals than II days would allow time for reproduction Dipping is necessary in place of other methods of disinfecting fer the reason that the animals can be thoroughly treated with the disenfect- and in this way and because it is the most efficient way of handling large numbers of cattle

Statesmen Robbed Russia.

Turks, was torn up and Russia was
practically robbed OF all her success

The congress Of Berlin was nothing
but a personal triumph for Beacons-
field and Bismarck and has been the
direct cause Of at least five subse-
quent wars.

TREE PUZZLE TO FoREsTERs
Peculiar Formation OF Spruce Has
Caused Speculation Among Men
Learned In That Lore.

A cross section Of a great old spruce
tree from Alaska tells the story Of a
tree which executed a spin. like a bal
let dancer. This cross section shows
a most peculiar spiral structure. which
has caused a great deal Of speculation
among the various foresters through
out the country and q very interesting
explanation is advanced in American
Forestry.
1t is known that q tree growing at a
slant forms on the lower side of the
trunk dense reddish wood known as
~rotholZ." This spiral in this case is
OF such sort, and as IL is a continuous
formation, winding from the center to
within half an inch from the circum-
ference, It is surmised that II was
growing in an inclined position on the
edge Of a glacier, where by some
shifting II was caused to rotate, so
that all sides Of the tree were success
sively on the downward side. Thus,
as the tree grew, and its rotation con-
tinued slowly, the -rotholz" developed
into a spiral.

READING a. a Narcotic.

The habit Of reading for amusement
becomes with thousands of people e1-
actly the same kind of habit as wine
drinking or opium smoking; It is like
a narcotic. something that helps to
pass the time, something that keeps
up a perpetual condition of dreaming.
something that eventually results in
destroying all capacity for thought,
giving exercise only to the surface
parts Of the mind. and leaving the
deeper springs Of feeling and the high
er faculties Of perception unemployed
The result Of all this reading means
nothing but a cloudlness In the mind
That is the direct result. The lndf-
rect result Is that the mind has been
kept from developing itself. All de-
velopment necessarily means some
pain, and such reading as speak Of
has been employed unconsciously rs q
means to avoid that pain. and the con-
sequence Is atrophy.-Lafcadio Hearn-

rock. which has become widely known
during the past Is years with the In
creased use Of motor cars. II was In

himself how he might do something to
stop the excessive use Of hard Ian
guage INDUCED in by exasperated farm
ers seeking to urge their horses and
oxen up the steep rise In the main
road between Lincoln and StarlEsboro.
He decided that some ethical or re-
ligious reminder should be established
at the foot Of brakes hill, and finally
gave an order to a stonecutter TO en-
grave the Lords Prayer upon the face
Of the cliff. As the nature Of the rock
did not bring out the lettering clearly.
Doctor Greene had the text painted

RODS GIVE NO PROTECTION
French Vine Growers Find They De-

Rods They Erected

The vine-growing region Of the CT

tensively equipped in recent years
with tall metal rods. similar to light,
ming rods, known as paragreles or
electric Niagaras." and alleged to af.
ford protection from hailstOrms. A
careful study Of the functiOnlng OF
these rods has recently been published
by N. z. County of the University of
Bordeaux. The statistics presented
show that numerous hailstorms have
occurred in the vicinity of nearly all
the rods. Moreover, according to NJ.
County, there has been no obvious
change in the character Of these
storms since the erection OF the rods.
His article points out some Of the
principal reasons for the erroneous
conclusions that others have drawn In
favor OF them; for example. the fact
that. normally. only one thunderstorm
In five is attended by hail; that the
area over which hail falls is normally
very small In comparison with that
covered by the thunderstorm. and hall
tends to occur In scattered patches or
narrow bands; and. lastly, that a dis

He held various editorial positions. and
throughout his life devoted himself to
the writing of both prose and poetry.

that he belonged to the same age that

less than what he did in literature.
Whittier. however. is better known

prose is not so exalted. though true.
He wrote MY Psalm" Barclay Of

poems. He lived to be eighty-flve
