Higgins, professor of law at the Uni
versity of Kansas, was received re-
Gently from Colorado Springs, where

A Feat of Engineering

An unheard of engineering feat
will soon be made in the Holy
Land. This country for centuries
has suffered from lack of water,
and a very ingenious method is
proposed to supply it plenty Of
water and power too. A tunnel
about twelve feet in diameter is to
be built from the Mediterranean
Sea to the Dead Sea, a distance of
more than thirty miles. The tun-
mel will pass directly beneath the
city of Jerusalem. The Dead Sea
being 1900 feet below sea level the
fall will be so great that electric
power will be engendered to run
electric cars, light the streets and
perform other work in Jerusalem.
1t will be used also to pump water
from the Sea of Galilee to canals
which will irrigate the entire COM
try.

Zoe and
- Her Problems

School opened again the second
week in January and the family fell
into the usual routine. Everything
was very much the same as usual,
and yet not the same. There was
marked change in Clemantine. She
was no longer the easy-going, care
less little girl of whose tendencies
Zoe had despaired, but bright,
active little maiden deeply interest
ed not only in her work basket and
bag, but in her school work as we'll.
1t seemed that her awakened in
terest in congenial pastime had
aroused her dormant sensibilities
into active life.
Her desire to please her mother
had led her to largely overcome the
careless habits which had been so
annoying, and which she now re-
cognized as detrimental to the per-
feet lines of her beauty loving eyes.
She and Max both spent their
evenings with the work which so
interested them, and Zoe was sur
prised at their awakened enthusiasm
and found herself deeply interested
too. Clemantine's originality in
shaping miniature garments struck
her as unusual in one so young and
she gave her every opportunity to
improve her skill. She purchased a
beautiful doll and gave to the little
girl to her great delight and soon
had her arrayed in the most APP
proved style. The dainty, though
inexpensive material with which
she was provided was made up into
garments of every conceivable shape
and fashion.
And Max was no less interested
in his tools. turning his attention
principally to the construction Of
bird houses. He had the advantage
Of his sister in that any old boards
or boxes would do for his work
The older the lumber the better
birds, much prefer old weather
beaten houses. He only regretted
that birds do not like paint, for
like his sister, he had an eye for the
beautiful.

Bird club
Notes

We have new member in our
bird club this week. Eldon Nor
thup of Extra. We always welcome
new members and hope many more
will follow. We now have l76 in
our club. With so many we are
quite factor in bird protection.
Not all our members live in Audu-
bon county nor even in Iowa. We
have members in Colorado, Mime
sofa, Canada, and a whole school
OF pupils in Montana joined us. So
you see the good work is scattered
abroad. We hope many more will
join us and that all will do all they
can toprotect the birds and make
homes for them. We are always
glad to hear from those who are
interested in our birds and would
like to have reports from our mem
bers of interesting observations.
The robins have come and seem
to be glad to get back. Other birds
are coming too. A cardinal gros-
beak was seen several days ago
perched in tree near us, display
ing his beautiful coat and crest.
Other spring birds are arriving
daily and if they find safe nesting
places many of them will stay.
Those who do not find suitable ac-
cancellations will pass on.
Let US get busy if we are not
prepared for them. They ask so
little and give so much in return.
Has anyone seen a bluebird yet?
Watch for them.

BLUE GRASS GARDEN PLoW

About the best help-meet the small
gardener could have is the Blue Grass
Garden Plow. In fact, to be without it
means to lose money, and you'll also
lose out in results-viewing the respec-
tive losses from standpoint Of labor
and crop-success.
Successful gardening depends largely
upon the kind of implements used, and
in the Blue Grass you have garden
plow that'not only reduces your labor
materially but accomplishes much more
effectively that which you would, do
with hand-tools. You'll notice the Diff
ference as the crops mature.
II you take pride in your garden
and of course you do-you certainly
want the best there is to be had in a
garden pillow, and we sincerely believe
! that pillow is the Blue Grass.
With each pillow we furnish you a
complete set of attachments-shovels,
calf-tongue, cultivator, weeder, etc.
And the price isvcry reasonable, too.

As a solution of the problem of the
~pastorless churches In the North
Woods Of Maine, Baptists have ordain-
ed two women ministers, and they are
now serving in the pulpit of the pic
turesque little church at Jay, Maine.
While other women evangeliSts are
"helping OUT at churches where minis
tiers with large families have not been
able to meet the rising cost on an aver
age salary Of $1.87 a day, Miss Alice
M. Whittier and Miss Ella j. Nash, SO
far as known, are the only Baptist
feminine clergymen In the whole of
New England.
They were ordained In 1917, when
the war vas making a heavy demand
on the man power of Maine. Their
first assignment was to the church at
Jay, one Of the oldest of the state.
having a history that dates back ITO
years, when the congregation met In a
log house. AS a rule Miss Whittier
takes the morning service and Miss
Nash has charge of the evening meet
ing.
Both we're graduated from the Cor
don Bible College In Boston, and both
worked for a number Of years after

can Baptist Missionary Society. They

at Jay, where they are at present sta.
toned.

stitution, and willing to make the COM
bined sacrifices of not only a preach
er's wife, but a preacher himself,
should be allowed to fill a pulpit, she
declares.
According to Miss Whittier, the
woman preacher has come to stay. 1t
is her opinion that very soon a large
percentage Of clergymen of all Protes-
tant denominations will be women.
The Baptists and the Congregational
lists are among the first denominations
to admit women to the ministry.
Twill women pastors be content to
work on salaries that average less than
$500 a year, as men preachers have
been doing for years2" is another Ques-
ton Miss Whittier answered.
She said they decidedly would not.
"All over the country" she said,
people are realizing more and more
the injustice that has been done to the
ministers. The time has come, ! be-
lieve, when pastors are to receive their
just due. The country pastors salary
should not merely be raised-it should
be doubled. He receives less than al
ordinary day laborer and depends to
an humiliating extent upon the charity
of his congregation. No, women who
enter the ministry will not be so pa
tient, Pm sure. Conditions in America
today do not warrant the practice Of
such S~elf-denial."
Miss Whittier Is one of the leaders
in Maine Of the New World Movement
Of Northern Baptists. That state has
been asked to raise a quota of $2,050,-
600. The amount didn't stagger the
pastor Of Jay.
Twill your congregation be able to
come across with their apportion-
ment?" she was asked.
Certainly, there's no doubt about
it." she said.
