sertions about the termination of
wheat and other cereals found wrapped
with ancient Egyptian 1nuMmies. It
states that close Investigation proves

Something to

WHAT A MAN READS.
By F. n. WALKER

G OMEONE has said that Charleu =
- Hughes, the secretary Of state, did
not read novels or verse while he was
at the university, and that he was 30
absorbed in science as to miss all the
poetry and romance Of college life.
To disprove this statement the II.
brarian Of the John Hay library at
the recent commencement Of Brown
university showed in glass case the
very books that Mr.. Hughes had taken
out. They included the regular novel.
lists that everybody is supposed to
read, and such poets as Tennyson and
Longfellow.
Variety in reading is Just as neces-
sary as variety in food.
Some good people did not under.
stand this when they objected to nov.
els on principle as frivilous and q
waste of time.
A celebrated man Of science Of the
latter part Of the Nineteenth century
used to find himself losing interest in
his work every now and then. When
this took place he would shut himself
up with great supply Of dime novels
and read nothing else for week. Then
he would go back to his laboratory as
fresh as ever.

in need of a mental rest used to read

Charles Darwin rs he grew older
lost all interest in poetry, but found
recreation in novels with good lively
plots that held his attention.
One reason why detective stories are
so popular with all sorts Of readers Is
because they appeal to the love Of
mystery which is almost universal.
It has been said Of Poe that ID
would have made n good detective be
cause of his gift for fitting togetha

Mrs. ASuuith in her celebrated

NJ. E. CHURCH RESOLUTION

AT a recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church the following resolution
was passed:
Whereas, the nations of the World
IN spite of the people and the crush
ing taxation, continue to prepare for
future wars, it is our conviction that
1t is the duty of governments to find
some way to substitute the policy of
justice and brotherhood for the suici-
dial policy of competition of increas-
ing ornaments.
Whereas, those nations that rati-
fed the treaty of Versailles obligated
themselves to a limitation of arma-
ments by expressly stating that the
disarmament of Germany was the
first step to render possible the Emit
iation of general limitation of the ar
maments of all nations; and
Whereas, Great Britain, Japan
and the people Of the United States
favor a naval holiday, and our hon.
orable President, Warren G. Harding
has expressed his pleasure to favor
said movement in cooperation with
aid nations:
''Be 1t Resolved, that this congre-
cation urge President Harding inn
mediately to invite Great Britain and
Japan to a conference to arrange a
limitation Of armament by agree
ment; and
'Be 1t Further Resolved, that this
congregation pledge support by ev-
cry possible means to the policy OF
reduction of ornaments by agree
ment."

pr1ated for the adjustment of COM
pensation of Cancelled contracts for
war materials.
10 the Legion, it seems logical
that If adjusted compensation is to
De granted in the near future, the
measure should be passed now, SO
tnat In the consideration of fiscal leg
islation, it will be known what ex-
pendltures should be provided for. If
the fiscal legislation is enacted first,
the ex-service men fear there will be
no money available for the adjusted
compensation bill, which will be put
off again.
The eleventh hour attack on the
Dill has been accompanied by a bar
rage OF editorials which in many
cases are wholly misleading in their
statements of the purposes of the
Dill. They ignore the principles of
justice undertaking the demand for
adjusted compensation which have
been accepted and approved by the
committees of Congress in charge of
our national revenues.
The Department of Minnesota,
American Legion, and al Minnesota
posts and Legionaries generally in
the state, have protested ~ - -
AesEta senators against any postpon-
ment OF the consideration of the adj
Justed compensation bill, and have
urged its speedy enactment. We feel
mat the great majority of the people
OF Minnesota want to do justice to ex-
service men and women, believe that
the American Legion bill is Just and
fair and right, and that it should be
enacted now.".
