Similarly Great Britain is not IN
clined to look with favor on reduc-

ing the old contention that her far

The most easily foreseen result of
the conference therefore. it was
pointed out. is an agreement limit

The most optimistic of the presi-
dents advisers here do not hope for

likely that the present armies and

What they do hope will result
from is:

ceivably be the cause of future wars.

A MORNING PRAYER
CANADIAN MENNONITES TREK
TO FLORIDA

One cannot but admire the sturdy character
of the Mennonites, which has caused them to
leave their homes in Canada and move to
Florida in order that they may practice what
they believe.
These people have segregated themselves
from the mass of their kind to perpetuate their
customs. This segregation subjects them to
criticism and engenders a feeling of antag-
onism, man being naturally gregarious. A
small number of men and women who separate
themselves from the herd in order to secure the
privilege of being different must make sacri-
fees. This the Mennonites have done.
Their emigration from Canada to Yellow
Pine Fla, is proof that men and women will
always be found willing to do, dare and even
die for their convictions.

WHALE INvADEs PANAMA CANAL

Washington Correspondence New York Tribune.
A whale, estimated to be 120 feet in length
and weighing 125 tons, which swan in from
the Caribbean, grounded in shallow water at
the Atlantic entrance to the Panama Canal and
proved grave problem for the isthmus resi-
dents for time, according to report received
today by the war department.
The animal was unable to extricate itself and
remained there, with the top of its head and
most of its back showing above water.
A group of canal employees undertook to
salvage the animal. On the morning of Novem-
Der 10 they killed it by machine gun fire
directed from "a launch and towed it with tug
to Pier 6, with the idea of lifting it into flat
cars and hauling it to the abattoir at Mount
Hope for rendering. A 75-ton locomotive crane
was unable to life the whale from the water,
and after continued efforts the salvage was
abandoned, as the animal was not a sperm
whale and was decomposing.
On the morning of November 81 the tug
Porto Bello towed the whale into deep water,
about IL miles beyond the breakwaters, and
the carcass was bombed by navy airplane. Two
160-pound bombs were dropped from height
of 1000 feet. The first struck the tail and
tore large hole in the carcass, and the second
fell about Is feet 80 one side of the head.

A LESSON FROM FAIIJJRE

There was time when labored with my
eyes on results would fix upon definite
end to be reached, or task to be accom-
plished, and the end and the task seemed
to me so overwhelmingly important that |
was dismayed when my efforts bore no visi-
BILE fruit. l sought to build business whose
profits would be great; l sought to build
house more splendid than my neighbors l
sought to build temple in which God would
be worshiped, and when neither the business
nor he>house nor the temple materialized,
despaired and thought that had failed,
needed that great business that might have
food and drink; l needed that house that
might live in comfort; God needed the temple
wherein His children might worship.
And when had given up these goals as
impossible, I sat down to think. The lust
for achievement was gone, and began to
take stock of myself to find what there was
left in life for me, and l made three great
discoveries I am still fed and warmly clad,
have a fireside and roof above me, and
God still watches over me with His protect
ing love and care. And more. than these
by my very failure I have learned my own
weakness, and have come to rely more and
more upon the limitless strength of God So
far as l can see the world is just as we'll off
as if l had succeeded, and | am deepened
and drawn Godward by virtue of having
failed And I think that l have failed
through living ahead in the anticipated JOY
of triumph rather than by living faithfully
today in the joy of duty well DONE
The more think of the business and the
house and the temple, which in life are the
visible signs of success, the more | think
that distant goals and definite outward
achievement are by-products rather than
final purposes in life. The best things in
life are not to be found at the journeys end,
when all earthly difficulty has been over
come. The best things are the faith and the
courage-the forgetfulness of self and the
dependence on God, which becomes increas-
ingly ours as we struggle onward. These
are the things God really wants us to have,
and we find them when we seem to have
failed more often than when the world is
smiling. MIDDLETON S. BARNWELL.

New York publishers as the center of the dark
section from the publishers viewpoint of de-
mand for literature, Birmingham is at present
one of the most prolific book markets." said B.
G. Gottlieb, "Quite recently a novel selling for

she came back to the store and explained her

not only being read here but is talked, and
about 35 literary clubs also attest to this
fact"

ION AN OYSTER BASIS"

Mark Stuyvesant in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
When ARENAS Ward and DR.. Kingston who
acted as his manager on, his western lecture
tour, arrived in Salt Lake City, after that anus
ing and successful visit to California, the be-
loved humorist fell sick. So badly off was he,
after his arduous rounds on the Pacific coast
and his strenuous days in Virginia City, New,
with Mark Twain and Bill Nyc, that his life
was despaired of.
The lecture Artemus had arranged with
Brigham Young to give in the theatre, had to
be postponed In fact, so hopeless seemed the
case that DR.. Kingston even tried to arrange
to have the body of his friend and partner
transported to the east on the stage coach. But
the. optimism of Artemus-for the doctor did
not think he could pull through-brought him
back to life again a very thin and weak man.
But before he was allowed to leave his room,
Artemus had difficulty gaining sufficient
strength even to walk. From Brigham Young
to the least humble Of the Mormon saints"
attentions in the form of fresh eggs, jellies
and other helpful delicacies were showered upon
the convalescent. Artemus enjoyed everything,
but nothing seemed to give him strength.
At last food was discovered in local
grocery, SO we are told, that Gifted him from
his couch" This was nothing more or less than
q dozen cans, of Baltimore oysters, put up in
squares of block tin. The first oyster stew "hit

Clawson and arrange for the date. The show
is safe enough, now we've got on an oyster

getty OWL" CAPTURED

Interesting developments might be expected
from the clearing up of real wilderness but
who would have suspected one of the new park
clearings in a populated section of Highland
avenue to result in the capture of an immense,
rather aged and exceedingly wise looking OWL"
says c. M Tardy. "This particular park Is
located in one of the deep curves along High
land avenue that lies just west of Chestnut
Hill, and has hitherto been undeveloped
another find made during the clearing was
of a rather thrilling and dramatic nature, no
less than two very large sticks of dynamite. Az
though those residing Immediately about the
park had had some reason for months to suspect
the presence of some kind of an owl, there had
been no indications or warning of bolsheviks
and dynamite.
