RADICALS CHALLENGE
 THE CHURCH

we hate religion *And we declare war upon all gods and relig- ious fables.'
 That, in a dozen words is the Com munist platform in so far as it touches the higher things of life
 We ha e religion
 It is the call of the Communists and their blood brothers, tho Anach- ists, the ultra-socialists and the I. w WIS in the United States and abroad, for revolt not only against Christ, but against every religion. It is the deification of Self as against God. It is the demand for the de- struction of the Church, with all the spiritual things for which the Church stands.
 In other words, Communism chal- lenges Christianity!
 While the essential anti-religious attitude of the Red Radicals, of whatever group, has been pretty gen. orally understood. the Investigations of alien plots and propaganda that have been in progress for some months by the Department of, Justice have brought out startling facts. The seizure of radical literature. has pro- vided frank, unimpeachable evidence lHdI I4IS rill1lulAO O1 AeAN4Se@AAoHA hO" e1l u religion is one of rank atheism, as is clearly set forth in their official re- cords and manifestoes. It leaves no uncertainty in the mind as to the baleful character of the movem ent that is now under investigation. It is a revolt of the creature against the Creator, which when famed into flame by infide1 leaders is ready to let loose the worse passions of which man is capable. Were such irrelig- ious passions once unclaimed, they would sweep away. if they could, every church and chapel in America. George Fl. Sandison, in Christian Herald.

GREAT HELIUM
 PLANT NEARING ITS COMPLETION

Fort Worth, Tex, March 19 = A great helium plant from which the United States government hopes to obtain non-in6ammable gas in sufh- cient quantities to supply it's military balloons is near completion here. In stallation of machinery has begun and it is expected the plant will be in operation by Aug. 1. unless Con gress should fail to further support the undertaking. Heliuna is extracted from natural gas by a secret process.
 Construction of the plant, the only one of it's kind in the world and at a cost of approximately S5,000,000, was started during the world war fol- lowing a series of experiments con- ducted by army anG navy experts here and at Petrolia. Texas. Beyond the fact that a noninflammable, non explosive gas had been developed, the results of the experiments have remained a secret. The helium plant, since it's construction started, has been under military guard. A naval lieutenant is in command.

MYSTERY OFFICES
 AT ENVIRONMENTS
 THROUGHOUT U. s

The red tape machine gripds slowly. The war is long over and the great army almost emobilized. but the paper work battle goes gai1y on at the big cantonment camps of the country where our heroes received their first mess kit and garnered the last dollar due them for good and faithful service. A weary adjutant and force of clerks go over the top every morning in a valiant effort to clear up the many mysteries of the Great War. Every camp had it's skeleton in the cupboard, every camp has some little scandal that has to be handled with kid gloves, every camp has it's mystery of missing men-Iost, strayed stolen in the grim grind of war
 Philip Won Blon, in The Home Sec tor, the ex-soldiers' weekly conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, says: There is one building in every cantonment where the past is very tightly linked with the present. It is the statistical of flee, where stack on stack of filing cases hold the records of all the men who were trained at the camp and all who were discharged there.
 Here officers, enlisted men and uefO ClSTkS are SllIl COlllng to un- ravel mysteries inherited from the Old Army. Here comes the inquiries concerning men who may or may not have been in the camp. A man sought by a draft board because of mixup in records may find vindication here. He must be answered, for the benefit of a colonel in Washington, the question arising out of the fate of casual company from the A. E. F. which was marked for immediate discharge, but which, it is alleged, was shanghaied and put to work. The colonel wants to know if the charge is true, and if so. why. The workers here like to ponder on statistics-for instance, the length of time it would take to copy 100000 cards and file them alphabetically with cross in diceS.
 "Day by day the work of sorting cards and answering questions goes on in the record offices of all the can tonments; day after day the new army studies and drills in the build ings and on. the parade grounds it has inherited from the recent old army. And each day the barracks Sof 1917, 1918 and 1919 are one day nearer dissolution. The problem of what is going to become of them is puzzling Congress and all who study cur national problems"

FURTHER TUMBLE
IN LOCAL SHARES
Continued Pressure Against
Lake Superior General
Market Again Thin

The tone of the opening local market
was again weak and the movement OF
prices continued downward. There was
a material increase in the volume of the
dealings and a much better distribution
Of the trading. All of this improve
ment, however, was at the expense of
quoted values. ...
The initial dealings reflected con-
Siderable accumulation of selling orders
overnight by the commission houses,
but as many of these were at fixed
prices the lower openiDg level left tho
majority uncXecuted until later in the
session. The heaviest pressure vas
again directed against Lake Superior
Corporation. indicating continued forced
liquidation of speculative accounts. As
a result the stock had a further tumble

gradually to all parts of the list. The
thinncss Of the market was strikingly
illustrated in the 81 decline in J. G.

small offerings. In the meantime, new
bottom prices were struck by Pcnnsyl-
vania Railroad at 3oH, Lchigh Nav

very large proportion of the heavy
selling OF the Liberty bonds in the two
preceding days came from this city.
Explanation for this could easily be
found in the recent letter sent out by
Governor Norris, of the Philadelphia
Federal Reserve Bank, to the member
banks requesting more active co opera
ton in reducing outstanding loans. The
letter called particular attention 10 the
loans being carried on the Liberty bonds.
At the same time here, as we'll as in
other parts Of the country. business and
individual interests, being unable TO

the opening market was distinctly weak
and the initial quotations showed ex-
tension in the losses Of the more active
stocks from | to points. In scatter
ing parts more severe breaks were reg
istered by some OF the specialties, nota-
bly, Stromberg Carburetor and Fisher
Body.
The continued urgent character of
the early sellingg was accepted as fur
ther proof Of the effectiveness of the
policy of credit debating adopted by
the Federal Reserve Board with the
banks in all parts of the country. The
liauidating movement, however. spent
its force before the end Of the first hour.
In the meantime a great degree of re-

MILTON CITIZEN MAKES
SYRUP FROM MELONS

T. w. Jones, country clerk-elect,
and one of the well known citizens of
Milton, brought a glass of most excel
lent syrup into the Gazette office Mon
day, and asked us for our opinion re-
garding ii. We saw that il was not
sugar cane syrup, but after tasting and
smelling it was practically positive it
was sorghum syrup. such as delight
ed us in our childhood. Mr.. Jones
declared we would have to guess
again. and finally he told US that it
was made from watermelons. In any
event. it was most attractively ap-
pearing. and delicious tasting product,
comparing favorably with cane or sor-
ghum syrup, of the best quality. He
stated that this is but the second at
Tempt that they have made to pro-
duce a syrup from melons, but that
they had made about a quart from
four small melons.
The process used in making this was
to cut out the ripe part of the melon,
squeeze the juice out of it, and then
after straining to get the solid ma
terial out, to boil it down to the re-
quired consistency. Care must be used
in straining out the solid matter as
far as possible to prevent scorcching.
That this may become a great indus
try is possibly doubtful, but there is
no reason why farmers, should not
make a number of gallons of syrup
from the melons that otherwise go
to waste on the average farm, and
with improved methods of handling ii
is probably that much larger yield
could be secured than was in this ini-
tial effort. We shall be glad to hear
from others who may try this pro-
cess.-Milton Gazette.
