THE LIFE RIVER

While not new thought-for u
IA indeed an old, old vision, Sena-
tor James Reed put beauty anu
charm into his tribute TO Champ
Clark that Is worth quoting. lie
said:
"a wonderful stream Is the river
of life. A slender thread emerging
from the mysterious realm OF birth'
# laughs and dances through the
wonderland OF childhood. Its broad
cning currents sweep between the
flower. dcckcd banks OF youth, ro-
nance ana hope. 4 mighty torrent
II PUSHES over the rapids or man
hood and breaks In foam upon the
rocks of opposition and defeat. Then
glldcs away across the barren
sterile fields Of age. until 1t Is engnlf-
cd and lost within the waters OF the
eternal sen. The quecnly robes me
foul beggar's rags, the rich man
gold. the pauper's copper pence, the
iewcled 'diadem of princes ana the
thorny crown of martyrs are washed
and swept by the same ceaseless
tides.
"The miracle Of birth; the mys-
terv of death remain the unsolved
problems of all the time. Inc
shepherd who 1000 years ago upon
the plains of Syria observed the pro-
ccssion of the planets and contem-
Mated the DEGREES of fate was as
wise perhaps as is the wisest OF TO-
day. He only knew that standing
here upon the bank OF time MS
straining eyes could not glimpse even
the shadowy outline Of the farther
shore. He only could behold the
white sails of receding fleets, ships
that sail out but never come again.
He only knew that at the graves
dread mouth all men must cast aside
the burden Of their honors and their
priefs: that man takes with MIN
only that which he has freely iiven
away. That even death may not de-
spoil them Of the riches OF service
and self.sacrifice."

1T DON'T WORRY TOM

So many letters have been re-
ceived by me recently from persons
who think they understand prophe-
cies Of Daniel and others, all sub
stantially agreeing that general
smash up in the world is near at
hand. that I have been somewhat
worried over the outlook. For in
stance there is Mark Zimmerman of
Doniphan county, who has figured
that the crisis will come, perhaps,
in 1923.
Recently I received cOmmunica-
ton from another subscriber who Is
satisfied that the wind-up of the
present order will come in 1928
And now John II. Cox, mayor Of the
city Of Hoyt who quotes the Bible to
prove that the 1900 days mentioned
by Daniel mean 1900 years and thai
they began to run in 20 A. d. This
according to Mr.. Cox, means thai
the period Of 1900 years will las
for more than 800 years vet. Unit
these interpreters Of prophecy ge
together and substantially agree OF
dates, have decided that I will no
worry any more about the matter
There are a great many things tina
concern the immediate present whicl
are calculated to trouble withou
worrying about what Daniel or an.
other Of the prophets meant.-Ton

COFFEE OUR "MIDDLE NAME"

The average American drinks the
liquor made of 13 pounds of coffee
n year. The United States, Holland
alone excepted, is the champion
coffee drinking" nation of the world.
It's consumption jumped AZ per
cent last year over the preceding
one, with the total crop, three
fourths of which come from Brazil,
three billions Of pounds.
And did you know that the green
coffee berry is nothing other than
the seed of cherry? Yes, and like
our own, they turn red when they
ripen. It's quite bit of work get
ting bag of coffee ready for the
market
When ripe the cherries are picked,
the outside pulp ground off by ma
chinery, the seeds are dried In the
air. and then the husks around the
coffee "bean" are also removed by
machinery and the beans bagged
after sorting for grade.

GOING AFTER 1T

"As to business-there Is plenty

things in the present situation,
Banker Hobby believes, lis the small
number of failures following IN the
