COMMENT
Harvey Up to Date


If the American Legion had to
revive Ambassador Harvey's first
speech to the Pilgrims in London
last spring, the substitute resolu-
ton finally adopted "a in far
better taste because of its restrain
ed language than the violently
worded one favorably reported by
the committee on resolution des-
cended to a personal abuse which
robbed it of dignity and effective
ness. 1t is interesting to observe
that the whole body OF delegates
displayed a calmer spirit than the
resolutions committee.
Ambassador Harvey may be said
to have "got his" by this time. No
American ambassador abroad in
the past 90 years has been repud-
lated to such q degree by the
American people as the man who
was selected by President Harding
as the one most conspicuousiy
qualified to represent his country
in the court of St. James.
1t is to his credit, however, that
since his crashing salutatory the
ambassador rs maintained a reti-
cence in speech that has. been
heard around the world. His SEN
timents, when uttered in public, it
may also be noted, have apparent
ly undergone ONE changes. He
took pains TO say in his London
speech Monday night that the
Presidents design for the Wash
ington conference "is no more 4
challenge to the League of Ma
tons than it is to the Monroe
doctrine" Coming rom Embassa-
dor Harvey, that may near ONE
thing.-Springficld Republican.

INGERsoLL's WONDERFUL
VISION"

''The past rises before me like a
dream. Again we are in the great
struggle for national life. We hear
the sound of preparation-the music
of the boisterous drums-the silver
voices of bugles. We see thousands
of assemblages, and hear the appeals
of orators; we see the pale cheeks of
women, and the flushed faces OF men;
and in those assemblages we see all
the dead whose dust we have cover
ed with flowers. We lost sight Of
them no more. We are with them
when they enlist in the great army
Of freedom. We see them part with
those they love. Some are walking
for the last time in quiet, woody
places with the maidens they adore
We hear the whisperingss and the
sweet vows Of eternal love as they
lingeringly part-forever. Others are
bending over cradles, kissing babes
that are asleep. Some are parting
with mothers who hold them and press
them to their hearts again and again
and say nothing; and some are talk
ing with wives, and endeavoring with
brave words spoken in the old tones
to drive away the awful fear. We see
them part We see the wife standing
in the doorway with the babe in her
arms-standing in the sunlight sob

DEMONSTRATION IN'
POULTRY cULLINe

The extension poultry department Is
planning a series of culling demon
strations to be carried on in fifteen
parishes in Louisiana during the
months of June, July, August and
September, announces Harley i. Will
Jams, state poultry specialist. The
object of these demonstrations is to
lend assistance to the hundreds OF
farmers and poultry producers in the
state who are not realizing proflt
from their chickens due to the fact
that there are a number Of culls or
non.producing hens and worthless
males in their flocks.
The work will be carried on in each
PARISH with the poultry producers who
will be interested in following out in
structions relative to feeding, hous-
ing and caring for the growing stock
as given by the farm and home demon
stration agents in their respective
parishes under the general supervi-
sion of Mr.. Williams and Miss Elsmer
Wilson, poultry club agent. Mr.. Will
Jams will work principally with the
farm agents and male adults, while
Miss Wilson wwill have charge Of the
culling among the flocks of the poul-
try club children and the women in
the state.

Having been in the active ministry
of the church since 1893, DR.. Sexton

perhaps, WAS the securing of more than
half million dollars from Methodists
Of sixteen southern states for the eree-
tion of the great representative Meth
odist church in Washington city,
task which he completed about two
wears ago. He still holds the general
conference position of executive sec
retary for this work Another great
work in this direction was the building
of st. Paul's chunch, Houston, Texas.

other churches throughout the south

are it is too weak to fire the charge
Of gasoline In such care, or II there
is no spark, trouble may be In the
wire connections or the magnetic, or
If dry cells are used, they may be too
weak. See that all the wire is prop

and cRean. If there is no trouble In
the wiring and dry cells are used, the
latter may be tested by attaching the
wires direct to the points Of the cells.
Though magnetos seldom give trouble,
IL there is every reason to believe that
1t is not functioning properly, 1t
should be taken to an expert for re-
pairs.

When an examination shows that a
good spark is being obtained at the
right time, the next step is to see
whether the engine is receiving the
proper mixture Of fuel and air. Ex-
anime the carburetor and make sure
that the gasoline reaches 1t properly
Sometimes water gets into the car
Eburetor and gives considerable trouble
!. For this reason the carburetor and
gasoline line-the pipe connection
from the gasoline tank should be
drained to remove not only any water
which may be present but particles Of
dirt. It sometimes happens that the
needle valve. in the carburetor is
closed or stopped with dirt and the
gasoline cannot pass. II the engine
has q petcock leading into the combus-
-tion chamber, by opening this and
cranking the engine a few times one
can tell by smelling the escaping air
whether gasoline is entering the cham
ber. II it is not, open the needle
valve, first being careful to note the
original position SO that 1t will be pos
sible to adjust it. 1t is sometimes
necessary to remove this valve In or
der to clean it properly. When the
engine Is running the valve may be
opened or closed slightly in order to
get the proper mixture Of fuel and air
with which the engine runs best.
