John Barton Payne. Secretary Of
the Interior. probably Is the only
officer Of the republic who does
most of his work at a high. stand
ing draughtsman's desk. All OF his
reading, both of documents and
books. is done at that dizzy altitude
while he is on his feet. The office
furniture division OF the Interior
Department had Its own troubles
ransacking the building to find ma
terial for Mr.. Payne's pet equipment.
1t now Is installed, detracting. as
the Secretary comedies, from the
otherwise stately aspect Of the ffn-
est Cabinet office in Washington.
During the regime of Franklin X.
Lane, who designed the office. the
room was described as a cross be-
tween a rathskeller and a cathe-
dral.
Sir Arthur Currie, who was COM
mander-in- chief of the Canadian

been appointed to the job which Sir
Auckland Geddes declined in order
to become British Ambassador TO
the United States-the principalship
of McGill University, Montreal. Gen.
Currie thus adds a new leaf to his
versatile career since 1914. When
war broke out he was q real estate
man in Western Canada. McGill is
the Dominion's biggest university
and Its new principal Is literally one
of the biggest men in Canada-he
stands 6 feet 5 tnches in his stock

There is no more vigorous advo-
cate of better marketing facilities
to bring the farmer and consumer
Into direct negotiations than Repre-
sentative Arthur B. Rouse. OF Ken
lucky. Mr.. Rouse's household had
been paying $3.50 a bushel for po-
tatoes. He obtained through the
parcel post section of the Postof-
flee Department the name of a
dealer down in Virginia. A few
days later he obtained first rate
potatoes at about $2.s0 a busheI not
inclusive of postage of 80 cents.
The Kentuckian believes that some
one is taking a lot of profit between
the Virginia potato patch ard the
Washington market stand.

HTHEEBIBLE THE
Translated out Of the original

known as Our Mothers Bible"
The Fourth Book Of Moses, Called
NUMBERS.
CHAPTER xIII-Continued.

81 And they told him, and said
We came unto the land whittier thou
sentest us, and surely it flowereth
with milk and honey; and this is
the fruit of it.
% Nevertheless the people be
strong that dwell in the land, and
the cities are walled, and very
great: and moreover we saw the
children of Anak there.
20 The Amalekites dwell in the
land of the south: and the Hittites,
and the Jebusites, and the Amorites,
dwell in the. mountains: and the
the coast OF Jordan.
80 And Caleb stilled the people
before Moses. and said. Let us go
up at once, and possess 1t; for We
are well able to overcome it.
81 But the men that went up
with him said. We be not able to go
up against the people; for they are
stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil
report OF the land which they had
searched unto the children of Israel,
saying, The land, through which we
have gone to search it, is a land
that eateth up the inhabitants
thereof: and all the people that We
saw in it are men of a great stature.
80 And there we saw the giants,
the sons of Anak, which come of the
giants: and we were in our own
sight as grasshoppers, and SO We
were in their sight.
CHAPTER IA.
1 The people murmur at the news, 6
Joshua and Caleb labour to still them
IL God threateneth them. 13 Moses
persuadeth God, and obtaineth pardon.
20 The murmurers are deprived OF enter
ing into the land. 80 The men who
raised the evil report die by q plague.
40 The people that would invade the land
against the will Of God are smitten.
And all the congregation lifted up
their voice, and cried; and the
people wept that night.
2 And all the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and
against Aaron: and the whole con-
gregation said unto them, Would
God that We had died in the land of
Egypt! or would God we had died in
this wilderness!
3 And wherefore hath the Lord
brought us unto this land, to fall
by the sword, that our wives and
our children should be a prey? were
it not better for us to return into
Egypt?
And they said one to another.
Let us make a captain. and let us
return into Egypt.
Then Moses and Aaron fell on
their faces before all the assembly
of the congregation of the children
of Israel.
c And Joshua the son of Nun,
and saleb the son OF Jephunneh,
which were of them that searched
the land. rent their clothes:
And they spake unto all the
company OF the children of Israel,
saying. The land. which we passed
through to search it, is an exceeding
good land.
If the Lord delight in US. then
he will bring us into this land. and
give 1t us; land which floweth
with milk and honey.
