Sharing Your Books.

The world Is full of shut-ins, and
there are those who are starving for
books and papers, but how many OF
Us make any effort to search them
out?
A clever article on books which
lately read annoyed me by explain
ing how stupid is the custom Of Dor
rowing books, and how vastly more
desirable it is for each man to own
his own. I decided that the writer
was a rich man (aIthough my better
judgment should tell me that writers
seldom are rich), and | decided also
that he was missing a lot Of good
things if he neither lends nor bOrrows
books. / believe that book is about
the pleasantest thing there is to share.
II produces such a bond of sympathy
If lit is enjoyed by a friend, and 1t
provides at-once something worth
while to talk about.
And people do return books, espe-
ciaTy If you put your name and
'splease return" inside and remember
where your books are visiting.-Ella

Perfectly Justified.

The criticism of President Will
son that the war was conducted
on a partisan basis has been COM
pletely exploded by examination
of the appointments made by
him to high positions in the con-
duct of the war. Wherever the
Republicans criticize the opera
'tion of one of the war agencies
it is usually found that a Repub-
lican was in charge of that agen-
cy. This has silenced- the cap.

the war which feature the Re-

pointed to conspicuous war jobs

Birds InaT surrov.

Persons are not accustomed to think
of birds as burrOwing animals, but the
pufin answers to that description. II
is a chunky little fowl, less than a
foot high, with a large and powerful
beak. For a home it scratches a hole
in the ground sometimes az much as
four feet deep. To capture a putin
one must go digging. 1t is rather a
Job; and, inasmuch as the bird bites
and claws 6ercely. one is likely to
suffer in the process. Thus the crea-
ture has maintained its numbers on
many a lonely rOckery, where other
species of wild fowl have been killed

CARRIED 4HoNEsTYv TOO FAR
Trusted Clerk Rather overdid It, and
Lost the Confidence Of His
Employer.

Cash registers became an institution
as a means Of compelling honesty
among employees handling money.
There was a time when their installa-

clerk concerned, but a new generation
has accepted them as a matter of
course. That they still have their use
in the original sense, however, was

Spiders as Companions.

OF all creatures to choose as pets
spiders seem to be the strangest. Yet
many famous men have formed real
friendships with spiders. Beethoven,
when studying the violin at the age Of
seven years, had a spider so accustom-
ed to him that It would crawl on to
his arm while he was practicing. OF
PaQanini it is said that whenever he
nlaved a certain afr on his violin a
spider approached him and stood still
listening until he had finished. Gaetry,

MEN AWARDED GoDLIKE RANK
Two Worshiped in China and EIabo-

Birthplace Of One.

Man worship is still practiced In
China, according to Rev. F. S. Burket,
a Baptist minister of Changing, who
found two disciples of the late Liau
seated on thrones and receiving the
obeisance Of thousands of their fol-
lowers.
Liau, who achieved local fame years
ago, because Of his reputed power of
healing diseases and relieving the OPP
pressed In spirit, was executed by the
authorities, who feared an uprising.
Two Of Liau's disciples, Ling Shuk
and Lai Sam Shuk, however, like their
master, began to heal diseases in his
name, and gradually were raised by
Followers to the same godlike
Ink accorded Liau.
Ling ShUsS is seventy-one years old
and LaI Sam Shuk eight years his
tunior. Several ornate temples have
been built to Liau. At the main one,
located at Liau's birthplace about 10
miles from Changing, the missionary
found gathered more than 1000 peo-
pie to celebrate Liau's birth anniVer-
sary. The two immortals were seated
on the highest Of a series Of terraces
with an empty throne between them
for the spirit Of Liau. Before them
stood a large table covered with Or

No time can be lost in laying
plans for supplying this loss. The
town needs both, and cannot get
along very well without either.
If the town as a municipality can
not and will not take steps to op-
crate the light plant, it seems
that there are enough public spir-
tied citizens to take hold of this
project, the light plant, and see
to it that the town does not re-
main in darkness. 1t seems that
a mass meeting of the citizens
could bring results provided all
our people will congregate with

A Big Time

Last Saturday was the day for
the barbecue and picnic in Sell
mer, and one of the largest
crowds ever seen here came, and
everything went off in good or
der, and the folks enjoyed the
day, listening to speaking, brass
band music, eating barbecue,
drinking lemonade and conver-
sing with their friends, and as
Beatty said, all went home hap
py. Good order prevailed, and
no untoward incident happened
to keep everyone from having a
good time.
Many people ate barbecue,
while others prepared picnic din
ners, and nobody left hungry.
We had a long table in the front
office of the Independent, and a
number of visitors came in and
shared our dinner with us, among
them being Col. J. W. Purviance,
w. D. Mccormack and family,
r w. Caffey and family, Henry
Cline and wife, Mrs. Alice Lump
kin, Prof. A. H. Grantham, Mrs.

and little Rachel Abernathy, and
several others. We were mighty
glad to have them with us, for
they are the kind of people who
are not afraid to eat enough.
With the grub brought in by
some of our visitors, plenty of
barbecue and trimmings" we
had quite an elegant meal, abund-
ant and of the variety which salts

it will not be long until you may
join little Lucian Dow who is ever
watching for you. We know
where to find him, for Jesus said,
Suffer little children to come

Heaven.
Sweet Lucian budded on earth
to bloom in heaven.
