APPEAL FOR FUND
Is MORE URGENT
Salvation Army Community Advisory
Board Depicts Need for Early
Response.

Urging upon the giving public the
need for early action in the matter
of contributing the 1921 fund for the
maintenance of the local Salvation
Army corps. the community advisory
board yesterday issued the Following
statement concerning the hardships Of
Salvation Army workers:
1.-THE acid test TO efficiency in tho
Salvation Army worker is, self denial
There is no room for its counterpart
-selfishness. 1t is impossible for a
man or woman tainted with self seek
ing and personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to
remain in the ranks. The uniform
does not fit. The trumpet call to duty
entails too much of hardship and sac-
rifice. Each of the synoptic writer's
record that our Master in addressing
His disciples, said IF any man will
come after Me, let hlH1 deny himself
and take up his cross and follow me"
Following the Christ has been the
ambasadorial duty of the Salvationist
Hence. the denying of self must of ne
cessity be the credo and practice of
the Salvation Army
and social environment and to accept
comparative penury for affluence
needs the inhibition of grace divine;
something more than conservation
to human altruism. Strength of char
acter. however, does not find its best
soil on the kissed slopes of Mount
Pisgah and the Salvationist soon
learns that the shade of Gethsemane's
oil 10, Is hos 81,
in strength for service.
Particularly in the pioneer days of
the army, the road was more than
rugged. In those days of misunder-
standing and the clandestine propd-
ganda of opposition the cross was a
heavy one. To stoop and drink that
bitter cup and kiss that cruel cross
needed divine partnership
Imprisonments, floggings. being be-
smirched with all forms of filth and
refuse, spat upon, kicked. stoned and
battered by the violence of the UNI
couth rabble was the weekly program
of the army's early fathers. The wo-
men. too (shame TO record it,, did not
receive determinations, but shared the
cruelties OF the early days of Saliva
ton Army history.
Scores went % their graves through
exposure, privation and i'll treatment
many as the victims of murder.
Today these conditions are unknown
but there is a cross. Hard work, long
hours and a stipend barely sufficient
for ones needs is the temporal COM
pensation for enlistment in this army.
a committee drawn from the Mer
chants and Manufacturers association
i'm one of the largest cities in the
Union, after having investigated the
question of the compensation which
the Salvation Army officer receives,
suggested that the officials of the army
should market a book dealing with the
secrets of thrift, giving the American
public the benefit of ideas calculated
to instruct them in the art of defeating
the problematic H. c. L.

DOROTHY

~ NE of the quaintest and most
" whimsical Of origins is that from
which Dorothy sprang. Theos and
Zeus, father Of the gods, were identical
terms i'm ancient Greece From Theos
came many masculine names and one
feminine, Theodore. which signifed
"gift OF God" or 'living gift" Curous
enough, the reversal of the name or
Dorothea was speedily accomplished
and, though absolutely incorrect,
gained more prevalence i'm the Western
world than Theodore has ever
achieved.
The beautiful legend Of st. Dorothea
helped to give her name widespread
fame. 1t is the story of the Cappado-
clan maiden who sent the roses of Par
adise by angelic hands as testimony of
the joy sl" was reaping. DorOthea be-
came patron saint in Germany and
England straightway adopted her name
because Of Massinger's powerful dra-
ma. Dorothy was the next step i'm her
evolution and Dolly became a popular
diminutive. Indeed, so common was it
In usage that it became the generic
term for wooden children or puppets in
the time of Elizabeth Stuart. and hence
our own dolly" or doll beloved of
the small girl.
Dorothy became Puritan name at
the height Of the reign of the house of
Hanover, and was used by Mrs. DorO-
thy Cromwell and other Roundhead
daughters. France called her Doro-
thee, while Germany preferred the
original DOrothea, and Italy omitted
the aspirate and made her Dorotea.
England and America favor Dorothy,
with its fluffy diminutive Dolly. Rus
sia, by some mysterious translation,
claiming that the patroness of Darija
was an Atbenian lady martyred with
her husband Chrysanthus at Rome
and buried i'm a catacomb which was
opened in the reign of Constantine the
Great. The modern Greek rendition Of
the name is Thorothea.
Dorothy's talismanic gem is the dia-
mond. 1t Is said to afford her protec-
ton from evil and bring her great hap
piness. AS the old legend goes:
THE Evil Eye shall have no power to
harm
Him that shall wear a diamond as q
charm"
Saturday Is her lucky day and 2 her
lucky number, while the flower as
signed to her Is the daisy, signifying
innocence.

which is condemned by all authorities

In few minutes all of Mrs. Earth

Old Mr.. Root could not help them !;
there was only one who could and
that was Mr. Mole and Mr. Root knew

him a wireless message telling him
Of the poor Seedlings troubles.
Mr.. Mole jumped out of bed and
ran through his tunnel, for he had
known about the family of Mrs. Earth
worm and intended to get them as
soon as they awOke; but he, too, had
oversight that morning.
In a few minutes he was on the
scene and not many of the Earth
worms escaped, for Mr. Mole is quick
and sure and very fond Of Earth
worms.

Mole and told him that they never

lOG-ROLllNG CHARGED.

Vote trading and log-rolling were
charged to the senate after one after
noon session in which two apparently
dead measures were taken up and
passed along with the Bryant bill to
abolish the state constabulary. The
latter measure went through with
scarcely any comment except that &C.
casioned by the fact that the new de-
partment of public safety bill is to
dispose of the present state police
body and supplant it with another.
The constabulary has many deter
mined foes, however, and they re-
joiced over the senate action on the
repeal bill.
In connection with the passage of
this bill opposition was dropped to
the proposed constitutional amend
ment to allow counties to establish
commission form of government if
they so elect The joint resolution
providing for the submission of this
amendment was taken off the table
where it has reposed since it's failure
to get the needed two-thirds vote and
was passed with several votes to
spare. Then the senators put through
the bill to reduce auto license taxes
one-quarter on all licenses purchased
after April l of each year. The house
already has gone on record as opposed
to this idea.

INCOME TAX BILL DEFEATED.

The administration bill for the de-
partment of safety would place in the
hands of this department the enforce
ment of prohibition, the duties of the
state fire mashal and of the state oil
inspector. 1t would abolish the con-
stabulary next June. The bill pro-
vides for a $4,000 a year commission
er to have charge Of the department.
The house was the scene of pretty
batlae when the proposed state in
come tax plan came up for discussion.
1t would require an amendment to the
constitution TO have such tax and
it takes a two-thirds vote to submit
an amendment to the voters. After
much heated debate and with the
Wayne delegation standing solidly
against the plan the house vote
showed GA members favoring the in
come tax, just three less than two
thirds. The matter then was tabled
temporarily while the advocates of the
tax started to campaign for the nee
essary additional three members sup

The house adopted the Groesbeck
administration bill to substitute a new
department of labor and industry for
the present state labor commission.
The bill is the third Of the series of

State control of public utilities has
come to the fore in the legislature

Don Osborn of Kalamazoo to give the
public utilities commission absolute
control over all public service cor

favor the Osborn bill and the league
of municipalities is openly fighting
the measure
The league adherents will be salts

will be defeated at the polls when the
city people get chance to vote on it.
Some members are threatening to put

A farmer who happened 70 plant a
large field of alfalfa south of the
farmhouse noticed during the hot sum

did not suffer from the heat as did the
neighbors. The thermometer showed q
temperature five to ten degrees in his

Now the farmers of that region are
planting alfalfa around their dwell

that make trip TO the seashore need
