DR.. Certeis was very tender Of my
husband as the burro swerved from
right to left and stumbled along that
crooked mountain path. was glad
that could say to myself that was
unafraid of Certeis, at least, for the
time. He was a lover Of all beautiful
things. He was an aesthete. He hat
ed pain and ugliness. 1t would be
time to fear him when we reached
some place Of luxury and quiet.
And even then, assured myself, /
might not need to be afraid. I knew
the man so we'll. He had wooed me
tempestuously before Bob Lorimer
came home from college. 1t had be-
come the madness of his life to COM
pei me to love him7-his set purpose
never to take anything from me with
out my love.
Only once in all the various phases
OF his devotion had Hamilton Certeis
threatened me.
AS our burros crept down the slip
perry slope, Don ManHel leading Bob's
animal and Certeis leading mine, l
thought that never again would Ham
ilton Certeis threaten me- The man
had grown stern and sad as if he real
lied that fate was thwarting all of his
desires. His country had been huml-
lated before the nations. Her cause
was lost forever.
DIR. Hamilton Certeis, world famous
surgeon, had saved his great name and
reputation by letting it appear that
he had been drowned in diving suit
of his own Invention.

satisfaction from his mysterious
resurrection and the new activities in

Washington Looked Ahead


When Washington was president Of
the United States, farming was not at
all scientific. In fact farming could
be made profitable simply because
there was limitless tracts of virgin
soil to be cleared and broken for
crops.
That he saw for into the future and
was anxious to have the government
take a hand in solving the farmers
many problems Is shown in his last
annual message to Congress. In that
memorable paper he suggested a de-
partment or board of agriculture
which might "by premiums and small
pecuniary aids to encourage and assist
spirit of discovery and improve
ment."
Mules Sayed the Day
The mule has always been appre-
ciated by the Kentucky farmer. That
the people in Central Europe, who
have been introduced to him through
the war, are learning to appreciate
him can be gathered from the follow
ing statement. made by al officer of
the French Mission: "The mules saved
the day. We used them extensively
where horses, motors and men could
not go-to carry food and supplies
We were fighting from SMELL holes
principally-the trenches were wiped
out clean. We used mules instead of
men to get shells and supplies up
two dr. three shells packed on the two
sides of each mules, or a couple big
baskets for food. They worked in
trains following a bell leader, with a
man or two to each train. Thousands
of those little animals-they were lit
tie mules-were blown to pieces.
There were dead mules everywhere
and every dead mule. represented in
all probability the saving OF a supply

ability discovered in young people,
through the Junior Four-Minute Work.
"All organizations of men and wo-
men should be invited to cooperate
with the High School by providing
Audiences and planning speaking cam

meetings reaching all groups in the
community, the people may be helped
to understand that under the liberal

MAKING A LITERATURE

One of the greatest problems con-
fronting civilization in many parts of
the world is the lack of written Ian
guage. There are still millions of
people who have neither books nor
newspapers and no written language
in which to print them. In Africa
there are hundreds of such tribes and
years of worw are often required be-
fore anything can be printed in Ian
guage they know.
The world owes great debt to mis-
sionaries of various churches for the
work already done in this regard, and
the demand made for its extension is
so vast that the churches have not yet
been able to meet it. The Methodist
Church, as a part 3of its Centenary
movement, is to spehd considerable
portion Of its $4,000 for foreign work
in developing new publishing houses
and extending the printed word in
various countries.

desire to quickly correct all the
evils Of the body polite and to re-
form the world overnight. They have
not only provided these young people
with radical literature ana lecturers,
but they have met the need Of these
ardent young souls for self-expression
and have encouraged them to preach
radical doctrine, and have provided
opportunities in forum meetings.
"The National Security League be-
lieves that the only antidote needed
for the poison gas of sedition is a
clear knowledge of the fundamental
ideals of our government.
Besides becoming thoroughly ia
miliar with all that America stands
for these young crusaders plan to 60
forth and explain to others the fall
lacies of class doctrine and the fail
ures Of Bolshevist rule. A plan for
the cooperation of all community or
CARNATIONS in providing audiences
and opportunities to speak is being
presented to the clubs Of the country.
These young high-school students will
strip the anti-American doctrine of all
camoufage; they will show the differ
ence between full-blooded democracy
and the rafting skeleton of the dicta-
torship Of the proletariat; they will
prove that every necessary bit Of in
dustrial development and every need
ed reform can be obtained under our
Constitution through the orderly pro-
cess of amendments.
~"They will apply the Acid Test of
American Doctrine, Liberty and
Justice for ALL to every new preach
ment, and the only revolution they
will stand for Is such as Lincoln
meant when he said, 'Revolutionize
through the ballot box and they
will follow his motto and rest secure
in his belief, Let the people know the
truth and the country is safe Mel
Their Bolshevlsm nor any other false
doctrine can win out against these
well-informed young high-school cru
saders."

work reads as follows

are rampant In the land, supply ap-
pealing, In false phrases, to the de-

They menace the foundations of the
Republic and can only be met and
conquered by continued and earnest
preaching Of American doctrine which
exposes their fallacies and proves
that dictatorship by the proletariat,
as by any other single group, brings
tyranny, not freedom.
High Schools must rally their
forces. relying on the splendid patri-
otto spirit of their students to carry
on their Junior Four-Minute Work,

anti-American radical doctrines.
"A great need of the country now
is information as to the fundamental

The Lay OF the Hen

An egg a day the old hen lays, with
which the housewife blithely pays for
books and children's shoes and
Grange and Farmers Union dues. The
old hen pays the ROSTERS board, she
buys the fas to run the Ford; she
even buys the old mans cud, and still
he meets her with a thud, II In the
feed box she should stray, or roost
upon his new mown hay. She buys
the soap to clean the kids, the sugar
and the family lids. She's up the first
one in the morn she's out and hust-
lin in the corn before the old men
chucks his scores to- call the boys to
do the chores. She's always happy at
her work; no one can say that she's a
shirk. She don't belong to any club;
believes in paying for her grub. She
does her work and doesn't care how
others curl or comb their hair. She
lives to serve and serves to live, gets
all she can, is free to give or what
the good Lord gives her. A message
from the hen to you is that there are
but very few so thoughtless for their
own reward, and few who sing and
work so hard to make this old world
fit place to live In for the human
race.-W. E. vaplin.
