On the authority of the late JohI Howard Payne, and without fear O successful contradiction, l boldly state that there is no place like home Often this fact is deplorable. Just at present l am glad of it.
 l have been roaming recently not exactly mid pleasures and palaces but through hotel corridors crowded with convention delegates, and as ] turned my wandering steps homeward l heard somebody singing:
 Give me my lowly matched cottage again 'The words seemed familiar seemed to express my sentiment exactly. Clear across His Majes- tey's provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Dominion of Canada they repeated themselves to me. I pictured the place as l had left it and the thought of seeing it once more caused me to forget the soot and dust of the journey, and the conversation of Canadian travelling companions who pitied the Americans for getting into the war after it had been handily won by Great Britain, singly and alone.
 But when at last I stood before my doorway, things seemed altered some how. For one thing the location of the piano in the middle of the front yard excited in me feeling of mild surprise.
 The windows, formerly tastefully curtained were filled with protruding furniture. A bathtub, ruthlessly wrenched from it's moorings occupied part of the front stoop. Now a bath tub in its proper setting Is a proper and soothing sight But on a front immodest.
 No children trooped gayly to my call when l rang the bell. Instead a large gentleman clad chiefly in white paint asked me what I wanted. When I ex- plained that I 1onged for my lowly matched cottage and demanded to know what he had done with it-or to it-he eyed me suspiciously and said the fam fly was out.
 It was true-truer than he knew
 There was a general air of moving day desolation over the whole estab- lishment. The dining room furniture was in the living room, the living room furniture was upstairs.
 The cook was barricaded in the kit chen and when I finally gained ad- mittance I found her scrubbing kal- somine off the potatoes she intended for the evening meal

From An Engineer in Afghanistan by

 The soldiers in the Afghan army would not stand for too much drilling. The colonel in command of the garrison at Jabl-us-Siraj, a cousin of the Amir, got enthusiastic about the drill and the men sent word to him that if he did not let up they would kill him. Drill slackened. Tho

TURKISH POLICE
 GIVE FAIR WARNING
By Associated Pros,

l
 1 Constantinople, June 30-Turkish police
 men make no attempt to surprise evil
 doers, but give warning of their approach | by striking on the pavement at regular
 intervals with long, heavy sticks tipped with steel to the great disgust of the sleepless foreigners. It was formerly the custom of the night watchman to shout loudly in Turkish that all was we'll every time they pounded on the pave ment. But the allies forbade the shout ing, and since the armistice the night policemen. most of whom are very old
 men, content themselves with hammerng the pavement. The Turkish population objected strongly to having the hammer ing discontinued. as it is supposed to be
 the only means of guaranteeing that the
 policemen will patrol their beats.

ROPER ASKS CLERGYMEN TO
 HELP ENFORCE DRY LAW

The clergymen of the country have been invited by Daniel c. Roper, com missioner of internal revenue, to help in the work of enforcing the prohibit tion amendments and it's related laws. MT. Roper comments the cIergymen for their assistance given in the in come tax work. In a letter to Con- necticut clergymen he says in part:
 After many years of controversy the national prohibition law is now an ac- complished fact. But the results for which the clergy have so earnestly striven-the sobriety of manhood, the supremacy of law and order-have not been attained by the mere enactment of law. Only by it's enforcement can these benefits be realized
 The period of controversy has pass- ed. We are not now concerned in any debate as to whether or not national prohibition is the best thing for the country It is now the law of the land. My appeal to you, therefore, is not for prohibition, nor for revenue measures, but simply for the creation of a clear. strong, public support for enforcement of the law The public mind must be clarified. misunderstanding of the sit uation swept away and the right spirit aroused.
 Your own church members. of course, will give unhesitating adher- ence to the prohibition laws: but 1t Is necessary that thew do more To CO., ordinate and give force and direction to their individual efforts it is strongly

! very interesting service was held
 at the Sheltering Arms Sunday after
 noon. Rev William J. Ora wford, pastor Of the First Methodist church, offici-
 ating. The text used is found in the 1o7th Psalm, 2S:S1. The subject was, How Cbr32 Stills the Storms of Life. The psalmist announced a great truth, when he said they that do business in the great waters see the works Of Je-
 hovah, and His wonders in the deep. This truth is wider than the sea and
 deeper than it's profoundest fathoms. Those who do business in great sor- rows, who go down to the darkness of care. lonliness and bereavement. those about whom the storms of life have gathered, the lightning and thunder, ever around them. see the works of Jehovah and His wonders in the deep. One who has never Senn a storm at sea, Or has never felt the swell and fury fthe pillows, knows nothing about them. To see the ocean when God commandeth and raiseth the stormy wind, and lifeth up the waves until they mount to the heavens and go down again to the depths is surely to see the works Of Jehovah and His wonders in the deep. But God does not send the storm on us for the H-oiul Sdhes HUT ll4dl ne IuISilI DeHotu the fury of the sea in tmulty; neither does He send affliction for affliction's s sake, nor to see the tumult of a hu- man soul disquieted by fears and hopes
 This is for humanity's sake. for then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble, and His gracious purpose is shown when His mercy is revealed in bringing them out of their distresses. It is when the prayer of the troubled ones are heard that He naketh the storm calm, and the waves of the sea are stiIld. There is no danger of the boat going down when Christ is on board
