SHIP BY TRUCK
SCHEDULE ESTABLISHED

One of the first evidences of the
advent of the ship by truck move
ment for rural communities comes
from the establishment of schedule
between Grand Rapids, Mimi, and
Hibbing. A regular schedule has
been published showing two runs
daily each way. This particular strip
of road is specially we'll adapted for
truck service and demonstrates what
may be expected in rural commune
ties when the highways have become
hard surfaced.

(By International News Service)
Denver, April 16.-Old Dobin Will
be hitched to the shay and driven
through Denver's streets after Janu-
airy 1, 1925, despite a bill introduced
in City Council by Councilman Theo-
dore H. Proske to prohibit the driv-
ing of horses in the city streets after
that date.
Among the many protestants to
Phoske's proposal is the Horse associ-
alton of America. with headquarters
in Chicago. Wayne Densmore, secre-
tary of that organization, declares
that passage of the bill will be bitter
ly fought.
In introducing the measure Coun-
Gilman Proske announced his idea
was to entirely eliminate horse traffic
from the streets of Denver five years
hence.
"The motor age is here,' said Pro-
ske, land it's greatest impediment
horse traffic must give way to it,

FOUR BARRELS OF
WATER SELL AT $500
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
Rock Springs, Wyo., April 16.-
Twenty-three hundred dollars was
:Ae price paid by, two well-known To-
cal citizens for four barrels Of per-
fectly good river water, in the BELIEF
that they were acquiring an ample
supply of real whiskey.
The two Well-knOwn and well-tO-
do Rock Springers were sounded BY
a trio of less well-tO-dO and less fav-
orably known lock Springers rela-
tive to the purchase Of four barrels
of whiskey at a price attractively
reasonable in these days Of scoarinE
bootleg quotations.
The deal was arranged.
The prospective buyers were sus-
picious, however, and demanded to be
shown" that the four barrels con-
tanned real whiskey. The sellers
were agreeable and the entire party
went to room in which we're four
barrels, from each Of which projected
a rubber tube Of the variety common
ly used for siphoning off the con-
tents of liquor containers. The two
men with the money and the appetite
for the booze sucked on each Of tho
tubes and the mouths were filled with
whiskey of pleasingly surprising
quality.
Immediately the deal was closed,
the purcha sers showing much zeal in
paying over the $4,000 lest the sellers
change their minds regarding the
price.
Later the two purchasers proceed
ed to draw off" some of their contra
band property, and were much cha
grined to discover that it was moth
ing but Rock River water.
The hoses from which whiskey pre-
viously flowed, it developed, were the
only thing that contained the booze.
a quart had been sufficient to 'load"
all four hoses. and the sellers Of tho
four barrels established new Wyom-
ing price for booze-$2,300 per
quart.
The vendors Of the booze are said
to be enjoying an extended vacation
in parts unknown.

FTY-SEVEN MARRIAGES
IN COUNTY SINCE JAN. |

Since January there have been
issued through the County Clerk OF
Court 81 licenses to marry up to and
including April Is. In the same
period in 1919 only % licenses were
applied for, while in 1918 applica-
tions numbered AZ during the same
length of time. Apparently Leap
Year has caused an increase in the
number Of marriages.
The last parties to apply for H.
cense were Henry Fl. Hillborn and

His will to us. This it is that the will of God is to be done by us It Is to be the law of our life. All our conduct is to be moulded by it. All our dispositions are to be colored by it. Our character is to be built up by it, and the fabric thus reared is enduring. For he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever"
 All our common task work is Gods will for us, if We are doing the things God would have us do. We are not to divide our work into two sections, and say that one is Gods will for us-our spirited exercises, our devetions, our moral choices, our distinctively Christian work-and that the other is the spear Of our own will-the things which are secular. Gods will covers the whole of QNr life. It must rule in our business, in our home relations, in our social life, in our pleasures and amusements. There is no nook or cranny in our life. by way, no secret corner, in which this divine will must not hold undisputed sway, if we are truly following Christ. Religion is not something which can be gathered
 into Sundays and church services, and shut out of week days and the business and pleasures of ones life. It claims all.
 Gods will is not only holy. it is also good We may be sure therefore that whenever it leads us into any way of suffering, it is because that is the way of blessing. We need never be afraid to ac- cept Gods will, however. it may break into our cherished plans and take from us our dearest joys we may follow our Master confidently, and He will bring us out into the lgiht and the glory.

THE SKIES DURING MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

have reached point nearly three degrees south of the equator in the constellation Virgo. As result of this southward motion the days decrease rapidly in length in northern attitudes, the total decreases for the month in our latitude begin 80 minutes.
 The moon will be in last quarter on the 5th at 3:O5 P. M, new on the 18th at 1852 A. M, in the first quarter on the goth at 12.55 A. M., and full on the 27th at 9:57 D. m. It will be in apogee on the goth and perigee on the Sth. It will run high on the 9th and low on the | 18th, crossing the equator on the 18th and 2sth. In it's journey around the zo- | diac it will pass the planets in the fol- lowing order: Neptune on the sth; Jup- | iter on the 11th Saturn and Mercury on the 12th, Venus on the 14th, Mars on | the 18th and Uranus on the 18th. | Mercury will be in superior conjunction
 with the sun on the Sth, changing from 1 the morning to the evening sky. It will, | however, be too near the sun for visi- bility this month.
 | Venus may be seen low in the west after sunset, setting 45 minutes after the
 sun on the 1st. The planet will move
 during the month eastward and south
 ward in Virgo. passing about three de- | grees north of Spico, the brightest star l in Virgo, on the 22nd.
 Mars may also be seen in the west after sunset. but is much farther south as well as farther east. Mars will set about 10:30 p. m. on the 17st or $40 on the 3oth. It will move during the month eastward and southward from Libra through Scorpio passing three degrees
 north of Antares. the brightest red star
 in Scorpio on the 17th.
 Jupiter is in the constellation Leo in the morning sky but too near the sun to be well seen this month.
 Saturn will be in conjunction with the sun on the 7th after which date 1t will
 be a morning star. Like Jupiter, how
 ever it will be lost in the suns rays
 this month.
 Uranus is in aquarius rising about sun
 set an dhence well placed for observa-
 tion It ma ybe seen on the 1st through a telescope directed toward right ascen. , sion 22 hours 23 minutes and declinatior , 10 degree 58 minutes.
 r Neptune is not far from the beehive : cluster in Cancer and hence rises shortly
 before sunrise. It is therefore, not wei placed for observation.
 At 10 p. m. on the 1st or s p. m. ol l the 18th the northern cross of Cygnu. may be found nearly overhead. Jus l west of it is Lyra with the brillian , star Vega. Low in the northwest i : Bootes with the bright star Arcturus ? Just south of Bootes lies Corona Bore = alis, while between Corona and Tyr; t may be found Hercules with it's fanou s star cluster.
 g The Milky Way stretches across tn e sky from southwest to northeast Il n the east may be seen the great square 0

THE "yACAr1oN- MOVE.

Little in the way of sympathy can the coal miners expect from the country as the result of their action following the announcement of the wage increase granted them. The miners unfortunate- ly have given the impression that they are determined to get what they de- mand, whether such demands are justi- fled or not, and this is further empha- sized by the method they are taking of cutting down the production of coal
 When the agreement was entered into to submit their claims to the coal com mission it was to be expected that they would accept the award even as the op- orators would be expected to, and in fact as the public would have to, but their action has been a serious disappoint- ment. It is true that the miners have signed through their organization the award made, but they have done so un- der protest and at once are asking for reopening of the case in order that they get still further increase in ad- dition to the agreement which is to ex- ist for two years.
 Not only that but with the miners or ganization approving the award what amounts to the same thing as a strike as far as curtailed production is con- cerned has been launched by large proportion of the miners Under the name of vacation" It is nothing more or less than an unauthorized strike and a re- fusal to abide by the agreement entered into when the coal commission was named to determine the case
 No organization can rightly ask for more than the facts presented show them entitled to. In the opinion of the com mission which heard the facts they have been awaTded an increase of sS5,- 000,000 year but because it is not all that they sought they show their real attitude by refusing to work Tn view of coal prices under most all conditions there cannot be much sympathy wasted upon the coal operators, but what a howl there would be should they shu down their mines because they were dissatisfied with the action of such g commission! The miners attitude ant action is quite as high handed.

long way off from the fundamental prin- ciples of Plymouth Rock when one man can shoot or stab another man because he doesn't like him. The high-powered motor car aids the assassin in his get away but usually he is caught sooner or later, but that doesn't bring back the life he has taken. Why are not the au- thorities more severe with those foreign CTS who go about armed to the teeth? No such leniency would be shown to native-born Americans.
 The vacation period for the majority of us is now over. and We must bend our backs and minds to the usual tasks. But what has vacation meant to uS? ft is not quite enough to come back with strengthened muscles or rested minds Do we come back with an enlarged vis- ion of the importance of our work ? When you hear a person say "Oh, it makes me sick to think of work again ,'' it shows that vacation has been wrong 1y spent probably it has been wasted in mere frivolity that has added strength to neither mind nor body. While vaca- ton ought always to give change, it ought to secure that quality of rest in which inspiration is found and an en- larged viewpoint of life Has such & vacation been yours?

REsCuING THE ss

That our large and new submarines have not been perfected to the point where they are not liable to accidents which endanger the lives of those aboard them has been evidenced by the experi- ence of the S-5 east of the Delaware capes. but in that connection it has been equally well disclosed what wonderful means have been devised for dealing with just such emergencies.
 Fortunate indeed was it that a vessel should have happened within the local ity where the submarine went down that it might discover the buoy that was set afioat from the submerged vessel and carrying telephone wire with which it was possible to communicate with the submarine crew imprisoned at the bot tom of the sea. It was not only possi- ble thereby to send out the cry for help but to find out what the trouble was and what steps would have to be taken in order to keep those aboard the subma- rine alive and later rescue them when the proper apparatus arrived. That buoy was veritable lifeline.
 Equally fortunate was the possession by the vessel discovering the sunken diluoI water DOaL or the wireless eQuip- ment by which it was possible to get in almost immediate touch with those who possessed the means of relieving their distress. No test of the effectiveness of the means of bringing about a rescue under those conditions could have been made that would have dmonstrated more satisfactorily tho practical efficiency, This shows what great strides have been made in surrounding the submarines with greater safety Ordinarily they are equipped to take care of themselves but it has been shown that when trouble which they cannot overcome does occur the hazard has been greatly reduced through modern scientific devices.
 Steps will of course be taken to cor. rect such faults as the s-5 has developed
 but aside from the high degree of sat. lsfaction that must be felt over the res, cue of the crew there must be due ap
 preciation for the way in which such ar emergency was so successfully met.

STILL NO PROOF.

The country as well as the congress honal Investigating committee is wait sne-, in vain for the much promised proof mat can be furnished to support the ,laims which have been made by Candi- sate Cox. All those who have thus far sppeared before the commission con- lected with the democratic candidate in 1is campaign have failed to throw any fight upon the frightful scandal. They lon't know anything about it. Ex Chairman Cummings of the democratic lational committee never heard of any, hing and declared the democrats were lnfsuing the same methods as the re- oublicsns. Chairman White of the com niJiee doesn't know what evidence there g or where it Is.
 Governor Cox has started on his whir1 about the circle and doesn't intend to appear before the committee while he 'ends a representative who from his Fstements. hasn't any more proof to of 'er' than the candidate presented in his Pittsburgh address.
 As against such negative results from hose who might be expected to partici- S3ts somewhat in the furnishing of the ,lFa9f there is of course the repeated tes- imony from republican officials in de- ltst Of the allegations and figures which 'how that such fund as claimed Is .either possessed or being raised : For such a great and vital matter [ Governor Cox has only builded q house sf cards. and now it appears that the | democrats are pursuing a policy of de- | ay in connection with the claims in the A 1f 1. un improved campaign cry and in the Expectation that 1t will be sufficient tc sounterbalance any reaction which may result when the whole thing is definitely proved a canard.
