NakhicheVan

Now add to the list of states that have asked the United States to be their y-Nakhichevan.
 Never heard of Nakhichevan ?" says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society Well, first con- suit Genesis VIII-4, for the district in queston lies at the foot of Mt. Ara rat and the town of Nakhichevan contains the alleged graveyard of Noah. The builder Of the ark, local tradition affirms. went down into the land that now seeks the wing of the United States and died of thirst in the parched plain after his ark had broken up on the snowy peak Of the worlds most famous mountain
 The bulletin continues with 9 de- scription of the region by Maynard Owen Williams, who was the last American to carry on relief work in Armenia, to which land he went from Nakhichevan just before Christ mas, 1917. Quoting MT. Williams the bulletin says:
 The Nakhichevan District, inhab- tied by Tartars, when peace comes will be bounded on the North by the Armenian district of rivan. It is bounded on the south by the Arax river which is the subject of many an Armenian song, and which here forms

- GREAT POWER UNUSED.

There are many gifts-gifts of speech, of song, of love, of influence, beautiful there. in your soul, but Christ wants them at work doing good Not only use well the gifts you have employed already. but develop what you have into greater skill and DOW CT. Grow by working. There is a resistless power in personal holiness Not what you do, but what you are counts most among your acquaint- ances- You are not as good as your Book" wrote a Hindu Brahmin Co missionary. If you were as good as your Book. India would soon be at the feet of Jesus.'
 This may be spoken to all Chris tians. We are not as good as our Book. If we were what power We would have in the silent influence of faults in character. the "no-harms," that make fairly good people almost useless so far as influence goes. The lamp may be burning brightly in your soul or mine, but little faults may so cloud our lives as to obscure the shining out of Christ in the soul. Per hapS already some soul has been lost because your lamp does not shine out with a clear. steady light. We like those words as of St. Paul. T am readyi" No matter what it was, life or death, danger or safety, hardship or ease, to preach or to suffer for Christ, or to a duneon, ever the clear voice rang out, T am ready" cration means. It is doing what Christ commands. Lift up your face toward your blessed Master. say to Him, Master, I am ready. I know not what Thou hast for me to do. to work or to suffer. to live or to die, but I am ready. I am ready to speak for Thee, to endure persecution for Thee, to live for Thee [ am ready"

A NEW CHAMPION.

The Fourth of July is a popular oc- casion for the holding of champion ship prize fights. Many battles have been fought on the holiiay. but meat I3 the big crowd g,: :.e ed at To- 'l0 on Friday to sse tn" champion ship change hands not only so easily but so quickly
 Great reliance had been placed in Willard to successfully defend the ti- tie. But even more confidence had been shown by the packers of the challenger. because it was figured that he was in better condition and he possessed the advantage of youth which was calculated to overcome the long reach and the powerful blows of the giant fist artist. and the outcome shows that those who had seen both men in training and gave voice to the belief that Dempsey will peal his hide off in three or four rounds were correct.
 With his characteristic attack Dempsey opened heavy from the start and kept up a rapid fire delivery so crushing in effect that he had virtual ly won the fight in the first round. Willard then and thereafter never showed an instance when he was a dangerous antagonist. Dempsey had everything his own way and he pro ceeeded to make the most of it. so that even though a longer battle had been anticipated it was a foregone conclusion following the first few minutes that Willard could not stay long.
 Willard has thus taken his place among other great fighters. He has passed his zenith. Where others are developing it is shown that he is re- ceding and it seems unlikely that he will again regain or attempt to re- gain the lost honors. Dempsey quick ly demonstrated that he is the better fighter though it was hardly a good boxing contest.

KEEPING THE DEsIRAeLEs.

The suggestion is made that something ought to be done to check the hundreds of thousands of foreign birth from returning to the European countries to which they are go- ing. to the extent at least of encour- aging the desirables to remain. It is q sensible thought and there is no doubt that there are those who have put in good word here and there to this very end, but possibly there has not been enough done in advance to have the desired effect at this time. And in this connection nothing stands out any more prominently that the need of Americanization, for it is to be realized that the influence of such work would be bound to have it's good effects in this direction
 Attention is directed to the fact S11at the exodus is including some of the naturalized citizens and a great many of the industrious, law abiding men of foreign birth who have been getting the benefit of American priv

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

Evidence continues to pile up to the effect that the Mexican problem is still before us and that the Mexican attitude is anything but friendly to this country Instead of showing i'm provemeut following the struggle in Europe it appears to be growing worse We have seen what the senti- -z7ent seems to be regarding the free dom with which the rebels to the south of the border are prepared to disregard the safety of those on this side. how the present government is unable to control them and what re- sentiment it shows regarding the in sistence on the part of this country that Mexicans must not violate American rights
 In addition to this we have received notification from the Mexican gov ernment that it does not intend to re- Erect the property rights of Ameri cans who have legally acquired ter ritory in the Mexican republic, but in szsts that they shall acknowledge what amounts to the conhscation of heir property by the Mexican gov srnment and at the same time there comes the information relative to the brutal murder of another American and his wife on Mexican soil
 Mexico has for a long time been displaying an antagonistic attitude to- ward this country It certainly has a right to do as it pIeases with its oil lands provided it shows proper re- spect to those that have been legally acquired in contrast to those that cannot be so clssSed. but that is the very thing that il fails to do under its present policy.
 The stubbornness of Carranza is one of his outstanding characteristics.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

One of the things the public has been loath to agree to is advance in trolley fares, though the necessity was admitted. Our own legislative committee that investigated the troll ley situation, recommended num- Der of things intended to give relief, but lodged the most direct and prac- tieal one. However, the necessity grows more pressing and plain in general and permission is grudging- ly given. Massachusetts rates are jumping from five and six cents to ten and are likely to become general. In New York the experiment is to be tried of making charges for transfers. Certain it is in most cases the troll ley lines must have increased in comes to meet the increased and in

WHAT SHE LEARNED

Who was it ?" asked Mir. Dick, as
 his wife returned to the living room after the lengthy absence occasioned by a ring at the door bell. "Oh, just a woman,l who dropped in," answered Mrs. Dick, a trif1e vague lly.
 "we had various things to talk reply.
 "Church business? ?" MT. Dick sug- gested, the twinkle in his eye testify ing to his inner enjoyment of the sit- uation.
 :. .'No'' sighed Mrs. Dick patiently, If wasn't. If you must know, 1t was woman wanting to buy the oak china case in the dining room. Cousin Celia lent it to us when we were married, you remember, because she was break ing up housekeeping, and it just matched our furniture. Now that our dinng room furniture is mahogany, the oak case doesn't look well with it, and this flat has a built in case anyway. So Cousin Celi doesn't want to pay stor- age on it, asked me to sell it for her, if I could.'
 And who is this woman? Did she
 buy it ?" MT. Dick wanted to know.
 T think she's going to bdy it." Mrs. Dick informed him. She said she had to ask her husband before actually de- ciding. I think she meant it, too; she didn't seem to De Just making excuses. She's going to let me known in the morning. And I don't know who she is. John. didn't ask her pedigree or church record insurance policy number. She said if she bought the case she'd send me a certified check"
 Good little business ideal" approved Mir. Dck. Did you ask her a good price and did she swallow it easily? There must be some money in the family if she can afford big china cases or space to put 'em in now
 Her husband owns his home,' ex- p1ained Mrs. Dick. ':ThiS is her sec ond marriage and she's providing most of the furniture from what she had when her first husband was liV- ing. He died three years ago and most of her things have been in storage ever since. She married this man last summer when her son-her only child was in the army and she felt very lonely. She didn't expect the boy back for ages, but he was wounded
 and invalided home just before

 She says her present husband is a good man and loves her, but he's yet know whether she was wise to marry him or not. She's a good wo- man. l could see that, and church member, so she's going to look on the bright side of things and watch for the best points always.
 And it isn't is she wouldn't have been lonely if she hadn't married. Her son is engaged-he likes her new hus- band all right. but he'd never have liy- ed with the new family, she told me and he's going to be married just as soon as he gets his pay raised, and the raise has been promised for this coming summer. That's why the mother IS thinking of getting this china case now It matches her din- ing room furniture, and she always girl her sons engaged to comes from a well-to-d do family and their dining room things are very nice"
 And do they" MT. Dick was be- ginning, but Mrs. Dick talked on.
 'The mothers going to give party for them soon, and she thinks Cousin Celia's case would show up her old china and silver nicely. She wanted to have a formal dinner for the young
  would be too stylish and expensive. But he won't mind a simple evening party and she thinks he'll let her buy the case because her son knows most of tn efurniture in the house is hers anyway-the husband was an old bachelor when he married her, and he's never had more than few poor little sticks of his own-and he doesn't want to seem poor or mean. He does- mt know, yet, that his wife plans to ,f Io rlia fo her son when he marries. She says her first huband's money paid for them and it's only right their son sould have some of ther use.
 That's all I know about the family John," as MT. Dick again indicated a desire for verbal expression. She's quite a talker, but I didn't like to ask questions. -Inquisitiveness never seems in good taste to me-"
 Well" said MT. Dick, twinkling over his resumed reading, you seem ed to have learnd a good deal, after all."-Chicago News.

EARLY COAL ORDERS.

Last year special efforts were made to arouse the people to the necessity of placing their orders for coal early and getting their bins filled just as quickly as possible. In view of the shortage in the previous winter it did not require much urging and the re- suit was that tho dealers were busy throughout the summer putting into cellars coal which had formerly been stored in dealers yards.
 Many people have for years recog- nized the importance of taking ad- vantage of the early spring price of coal. This has increased especially since the price of coal has so greatly advanced but even though the war is over there has been no decrease and whether there appears to be any good reason fer it or not householders can not afford to turn deaf ear at this time to the advice that is being given to get the coal order in and urge the delivery of the fuel at the earliest date.
 Even though it is known about what the consumption is going to be. pro- duction of coal has fallen off seriously during the spring. To some extent it may have been governed by the number of early orders received but if that is the case 1t cannot fail to be appreciated that the earlier the orders are~ placed the better will be the assurance of increasing pfeduc- ton and of getting the coal that will be needed next winter. Coal prices are high and there is no prospect that they will drop. If anything they will go up. but with a shortage in pro- duction threatened efforts in that di- rection need to be speeded up to the highest pitch and If that is dependent upon the orders placed it is the sem sible thing for every one to do his part by contracting for his coal now, not the week before he is going to re- quire it.

Bolshevism may be a bad road to good end, but the end is not that first proclaimed by the proletarian dietators in the intoxication of their early successes. In fact, the goal that they now announce as their own is strankely similar to that toward which the democraeies have been moving for years by a surer, better pleasanter road, and one not beset by robbers and assassins.

Chicago. Sept. 1S.-Corn values con-
tinued TO descend notwithstanding
such bull!sh factors as the postpone
ment OF the steel strike and an up
turn in the price of hogs. Bearish
sentiment due to agitation for lower
food costs required the dominant in
fluence. Opening prices which ranged
from the same as yesterdays finish to
~ cents lower with December
S1.1Sh to s1.l9 and May slI6 to
sl.16h were followed by slight rallies.
Subsequently opinions which were
expressed in some quarters that for
the time being liquidation was ended
led TO covering by shorts and to an
upturn in the market. Besides. gos-
sip was current that Germany had re-
ceived American products and was
ready to buy grain. The close was
strong. u to 21a net higher with De-
cember at s1.20N to<s1.20h.
Oats.
Oats were easier in sympathy with
corn, offerings tho. were readily alb
sorbed. After opening unchanged to
a half cent lower including December
at SIS to 66l. the market recovered
somewhat but then sagged.
Provisions.
Provisions reflected the weakness OF
grain.
Later the market rallied with grain
and as a resalt of belief that some
lard was being worked for export.

covery and for the first time in week
showed some recuperative powers.
While much of the buying was credit
ed to profit taking on short lines, the
markets were also helped by a slight
improvement in the domestic demand.
1t would not be surprising to see some
further recovery, despite the fact that
sentiment is generally more bearish
than at any time on the crop.
Oats-Oats, like corn, were weak
early and strong later. The long de-
