Religious Revivals.

The Church Federation of Pittsburgh, Pa,
has decided after sponsoring campaigns by
Billy Sunday, Gypsy Smith and other noted
evangelists, that their work does not bring
results commensurate with the expense and
labor involved. The federation accordingly in
future will not engage in such campaigns
There are persons in Rock Island who will
agree with the conclusion reached by the Pitts
burgh churches, but there are many others
who followed the Sunday meetings conducted
here few years ago who will take the op-
posite view. 1t is not easy to trace the i'm
mediate good accomplished by a revival of the
kind engineered by Rev. Sunday 1t is not to
be denied that his methods are spectacular al
most TO the verge of saerilege yet experience
MAS convinced him that such extreme practices
are essential in arousing the laggard souls of
community. There is living proof right here
of the truth of this assertion
There are instances of men and women
who had not the inside of church in
years, and who were leading Indifferent lives
INDUCING in excuses that would inevitably
result in undermining their health or bringing
them afoul of the law, who were brought to a
realization of their errors by hearing a Sun
day sermon, and who since have been striving
TO make of themselves better men and women.
They are to be found IN church every Sunday
The Pittsburgh complaint not alone holds
that Sunday campaign is a costly experiment,
but that the spiritual benefits are only temper
airy; in other words that the majority of those
whose emotions are stirred by the impassioned
appeals of Rev. Sunday grow cold as soon as
they get away from the spell of the evangeI-
lists preachments This may be so In some
cases. Conceding that 1t is, if Billy Sunday,
or any other evangelist, can steer one man or
one woman from the wrong into the right
course, the monetary outlay incident to a re-
viyal has been well spent The writer knows
of man who dropped into Sunday meeting
in Rock sland when he was recovering from a
drunken spree He had lost his job and had
been abusive TO his family. He had been drift
ing for years. He had not been in church since
ne was married. The Sunday sermon hit him
where he lived. as he put it. He admitted that
ne went to the meeting to haveta good laugh.

international Students.

The Rhodes scholarship contests in SO states
this year have brought out the largest number
of applicants and the keenest interest and COM
petition in the history of this unique institu-
ton Every mans college in America, it seems,
has students eager to enter Oxford. This
competition insures that men of good quality
will be sent-men who represent the best there
is in college life and who therefore are good
representatives of the American people 1t is
chiefly interesting, though, for the new attitude
- shows toward foreign education.
Before the war American students usually
preferred to go to German universities. Now
there is little inclination TO restore the old
traffic between American and German institu-
tons of learning. The English and French
universities have the call, with the emphasis
on the English. Circumstances of which Cecil
Rhodes never dreamed when he made his
princely bequest have eoeperated in helping
along the purpose for which he founded the
scholarships bringing together the educated
men of the English speaking nations

Advertising Prosperity.

The Rotary clubs of the United States and
the National Poster Advertising association have
Joined forces in a great campaign to advertise
prosperity. The plan first proposed by
Ivan d. Nordhem chairman of the publicity
COMMITTEES of the New York Rotary club, and
at the annual meeting of the Poster Advertis-
ing association, held in Detroit, it was formally
adopted. This association voted to donate
$1,500,0O0 worth of space $4,000 poster
boards in all parts of the country. These
boards represent 1000 individual owners who
are members of the national organization
Rotary clubs will attend to the Iithographing
and distribution of the posters and a fund of
100000 already has been appropriated for that
purpose. Thus all money involved is to be do
mated by the two organizations.
The advertising material for the posters
will be prepared by the federal government 1t
will be designed to cause the general citizen
ship to think and act in terms of prosperiay.
Thus it's wholesome influence on all kinds OF
business will be tremendous. This is a SPLEEN
did demonstration of practical everyday pat
riotism on the part of the poster men and the
Rotarians. The actual campaign is now in
progress and will continue through January
and February.

The One Way Out.

1t may not be altogether pleasant pros
pect for the farmer, but he really has got to
lift himself from his present predicament by
pulling at his own boot straps. He has got to
go back to milking cows, raising poultry, feed
ing calves and pigs and rearing colts. This
may mean 15-hour days. while the organized
. labor world 10 clamoring for a 44-hour week,
but he may well adjust himself to the in
evitable, and the quicker he does so the quicker
his redemption and the quicker his restoration
of general normally and general prosperity.
In a very large sense everything rests on
the farmer. There cannot be prosperity unless
he fs prosperous. He cannot be made prosper
Gus by law, except by the law of farming indi-
Gated above. Notwithstanding the long hours
necessary in his successful program, the inven-
items and improved machinery, in the field and
in the house. have made the burdens light and
leave the men and women in untaxed physical
condition to enjoy the automobile rides, the So
cial and club life OF their communities. There
is but one way out, and it is really not hard

Our Girls Waists.

Sixty years ago Vassar college began to use
the tape and the-scale on the young women
who entered its classic gates, and 1t has kept
careful record OF the changes in average
weights, heights and diameters of waists. Com
parsons show how the American girl has
grown this last generation. In 1S84-90 the
freshmen at Vassar averaged feet inches
in height and lis pounds in weight and had
waist measure of 25A inches.
The average freshman of today is three
inches taller and six and one-half pounds
heavier, and her waist is fye-eighths OF an inch
bigger around. As the Vassar statistics were
arrived at through the measWement of several
thousand cases. it may be taken for granted
that practically all girls of American stock
have made similar gains

to his resolve since. He has got regular 5ob.
has quit drinking. and can be found IN church
every Sunday with his wife and children This
one reformation was worth the price the COM
munity paid for bringing Billy Sunday here
The dienifed churchman takes the attitude
that IL we want TO be saved we must seek Goa
Literally that is correct But those OF US VINO
are spiritually forressed. and morally strong
ought to be big enough to see that there are
weakIings, many of them, around us. men ana
women who are aimlessly drifting They have
lost courage. hope and beart Others have
grown hardened from the rebuffs of the world
and imagine that every hand Is turned against
them 1t is not easy to get such folks turned
In the right direction. They must be ap-
preached differently than the ordinary mortal.
And Billy Sunday has established that he has
found the secret route to their heads ana
hearts. He changed many hard-boiied ones and
weak ones during his Rock Island campaign
While you may not agree with all OF the
Sunday methods, you will have to admit that
he does world of good in every city where he
conducts his meetings Rock Island certainly
lost nothing through the Sunday campaign On
the contrary. it gained whole lot through
bracing up few sinners who felt at home on
f1e saWdust but who could not have been
dragged with a block and tackle across the
carpeted aisIes of one of our fashionable

Here Comes the Boss.

Here comes the boss-We must get busy"
The news travels swiftly. Heads bend over
books, the stenographer rustles her papers, the
telephone operator dons her headgear and an
swers the insistent flash from the switchboard
that has been winking in front of her for five
minutes. The clock watchers take note of the
time and multiply their futile notions Work
begins when the boss comes on the job His late
breakfast and leisure journey to his desk cost
him more than he estimates. In some cor
ner of the place the wise guy is not electrified
when the boss comes the job. He is quietly
taking advantage of the best hour in any mans
day-the first in the morning. He does not
care when the boss arrives, or whether he
comes at all: he is not working fer the boss
although everybody else, including the boss
thinks he is. He gets his pay with the rest. out
of the same cash drawer; he is busy with the
affairs of the same concern and is loyal to its
interests But his real employer is of quite an
other sort
1t may well be that he is not aware of the
fact, but the person for whom he is working is
hlmself-his real self; the self that lives inside
and commands his purposes. Not his pocket
mind you; pocket is only crevice in the cloth
ing that covers man. Not what he gets in his
pay envelope; that is only money; it is quickly
spent, and not sou of it can accompany him
when few days from now-oh, so very few
days-he passes through the veil to be valued
for what he has made of himself He is work
ing for himself, for his own satisfaction
If the real things that l am doing were
not worth while, were not of service among
the real tasks OF the world" his life saws. even
If his tongue does not, Il would not be doing

more concerned about my own approval It is
for my own sake that put my best ticks into
my work. Z can fool the boss by working hard
when he is looking at me, but 1 cannot fool

to better job; for little as he may suspect ii,
the boss is looking for wise guys They seeem

The Daily Short Story

doing here; We want to put the
same thing over in Chicago. We
want you because We can depend
On you. and you have no home ties.
III give you a week to think it
over, Miss Berry, if you'll promise
TO say yes" he finished, smiling
But Ann didn't see him. Her
gaze was fixed on the calendar.
Why did he have to remand her
that today was the anniversary of
her loneliness-or~- her mothers
death?
That night Rose was quite per-
sistent Ann must write a story
for her. Her sweetheart was COM
ing TO see ser, so she wouldn't have
time
Ann wrote story for Rose-her
own. 1t was filed with loneliness,
and yet with the hope of happiness
filled with apple blossoms and
rows and rows OF apple trees in the
sunshine. Rose signed it and pass
ed it at class next day.
1t was lunch time at Nacy's.
Ann nodded 10 her j. E. c." She
didn't want to acknowledge to her
self that she loved him, would miss
him in Chicago. You're a little
fool, Ann Berry. You had better

now, as he smiled at her, she knew
she could never quite forget She
was rather sorry she had avoided
him the last few days She could
have added sweetness to the mem
cries.
Hello! Why so blue?" he ask
ed. lightly.
I'm trying to decide to go away,
yet somehow" She stopped short;
what was she saying? 1t passed
unnoticed, as he handed her an en-
yelope. There was generous
check inside, made out to her and
signed by the editor of a large
magazine.
It's your story. l sold it. l
took it to a friend Of mine. He
thought it was great. It's a won

But Ann, flushed and bewildered.
said, Il don't understand.

O'NeiI to confess. I rather bribed
her. She told me everything she
could about you. You see, I'm the
English instructor at the univer-
sity. You're not angry?" he ques-
toned.
"No-but-oh, it's good of you,
but 1t only makes things harder"
she said. you see, I'm going to
Chicago. I suppose Rose told you
that?"
He nodded. Yes, she said some
thing about your not having any
home ties; but, Ann, I was hoping
you'd hurry up and know me bet

through a mist of happy tears, as
they went out together, through the
door OF Nancy's.
