The Lord intended that the summer
should be warm and that folks should
sweat out the impurities their bodies
accumulate in winter Why kick about
it? Is civilization just one big scheme
of defying the laws of nature ?
If it be true that the English spar
row is an enemy of the dandelion, then
maybe the dandeion is an enemy to
the English sparrow. Upon that theory
both would deserve to be encouraged
at least to each others humiliation.

Automobile owners who are in the

sand boils, and he scratched too deep,
causing the tire to blow" and shoot

GERMS HAVE SWEET TEETH
Their Fondness for Sugar Costs the
World Some SIS, 100000 Yearly, 1t
Has Been Computed.

The human organism is not the only
form of life that feeds upon sugar.
The air is full Of invisible germs each
of which has a "sweet tooth" And if
one germ finds sugar, It can produce
100000 more sugar-loving germs in a
week Sugar loses so much Of its
sweetness because of these microbes.
,Fw " year heterogeneous destroy
over S25,0o000O worth of sugar. A
barrel of sugar in storage is quickly
infected especially If the air is damp.
When sugar is being carried In the ill.,
ventilated hold Of a ship. the sugar
Sweats. While passing from hot
region into q cooler one, this moisture
.condenses on the surface Of the sugar
and attracts millions Of germs. This
also occurs where sugar Is stored in
warm places like refnerles II doesn't
pay TO keep sugar for long. An attempt
to stop the rayages of the sugar germs
is being made by using dry steam in
stead Of water in the final process of
washing sugar In the water process,
air full Of germs is sucked In. But
dry steam kills ninety per cent Of the
little sugar eaters.

A Fortune From the
Clouds
BY r. RAY BAKER

Essss<SS-rNSrSSNrff~S~e
&C. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
Casper Huntington went through
the portals Of the First National bank
feeling very insignificant, gazing with
a feeling of awe at the massive col
umns among which he passed
1t was a new building and every
thing about it was significant of the
huge sums OF money that furnished
its foundation. Yes, Casper felt lost.
He had little acquaintance with banks
and was not here now of his own
choice He had been summoned by a
letter which he found at his room
when he returned home after calling
on Bertha Walton.
Threading his way among the pill
lars and busy people, Casper found
the presidents Office, and that official,
in company with the vice president,
greeted him so effusively that he was
taken aback and could not comprehend
the meaning Of IT.
Some time later when Casper went
out through those same portals he was
vaguely conscious Of a feeling of dis
dain for the grandeur that surrounded
him. His steps were no longer hest
tnnt; he seemed walking on air. In
stead of feeling insignificant, he felt
superior to those about him. There
was a million dollars to his credit in
the First National.
He walked down the street and his
lip curled as he waited for hand
some automobile to sail past. He
would have better one-tomorrow.
He went to his roomlng house, and
for the first time he noticed cracks in
the wallpaper and ceiling and the
frayed corner of a rug. He sat in the
only chair available and pondered,
bewildered over the sudden fortune
that had dropped from the clouds.
What could he do with million

ply.

be to resign his position. The next
would be to buy the most expensive
car In town. Then what2
These nominations recalled to his
mind a conversation in which he had
taken part last night at Bertha's
home Mr. Walton had been reading
something in the paper about q mil
llonaire, and had paused to ask that
question which is asked so often:
"What would you do if you should
fall heir to S1,OOO0OOT
Casper had told them he would use
it in philanthropic work, and Bertha
had listened with glowing cheeks and
proud, glistening eyes, while Mr.. Wal
ton had laughed and said;
yes, you would. That's what you
think, but If you should fall heir to
million you'd forget about philan-
thropy and spend 1t for your own COM
fort and pleasure It's only human
nature"
But he had meant it-then. He had
thought little further on the subject,
because the possibility Of his possess
ing a million or even thousand dol
lars had seemed SO remote Not even
the letter he had found In his room
had recalled the conversation.
IF you win call tomorrow after
noon at the First National bank and
ask for the president you win learn
something of benefit to you" That
was the way the letter read.
Now he smiled at the ideas he had
expressed at Bertha's home. Yes. Of
course, he would engage in philan-
thropic efforts, but they could wait
a while. He must invest in an auto
mobile, and then he must travel. And
Bertha2 Wen, he was engaged to her
but she could wait, too. He was really
in a different stratum Of life and. and
perhaps he had better give her up al
together That reminded him that he
had an engagement to take her to the
theater this very evening so he called
her up at the office where she worked
and pleaded n lame excuse.
"Of course it's all right" she as
sured him, but she did not prolong the
conversation. It was just as well.

enlisted in a Just cause, irresistible in
conflict
No such measure could be passed
after a war has been declared, or is IN
immediate prospect. Put on the stat
ute books now, it would influence pros
foundly public sentiment as to war. If
such a policy were adopted by all the
great powers, it would prove TO be
the greatest obstacle to future wars
next to disarmament itself. No people
would submit to such system in a bad
cause, and no people would refrain from
going to war 10 cause worthy Of univer-
sal sacrifice because of the knowledge
that its burdens would be borne by all,
and not by selective minority.

DREDS OF MEMBERS AT
ANNUAL CONVENTION

Chicago, Aug. S.-The packing in
custry has about completed it's post
war readjustment and the position of
both producers and packer should
rapidly improve, Thomas f. Wilson,
president Of the Institute OF American
Meat Packers, told hundreds of pack
ers from all sections of the country, in
opening the three day annual conven-
ton here today.
Mr.. Wilson presented survey Of
40 non-packer industries which he
compared with a survey Of packing
companies 10 show that the non-pack-
ers did less than four times as much
business as the packers and made
more than one hundred times rs
much profit, The packing companies
surveyed profits Of s7,21S.O6S on an in
vestment of approximately $500 O00, 900
and sales Of s3O13O22 900. he said.
He also presented a table to show
price declines in wholesale meat pro-
ducts during the past year ranging
from l6 per cent to AZ per cent Prac-
tically all by-products are lower than
in 1913, he asserted
THE decline of packing house pro-
ducts" Mr.. Wilson said should be
made by the packers that the business
is governed by the law of supply
and demand and is not and cannot be
artficially controlled"
The producer and packer both have
suffered losses through the decline in
values, he said and also called atten-
ton TO the decrease in export of meat
OF 1870, 900, 900 pounds in 1920, as com
pared with 1919, representing loss
OF s526 6,O13,456.
The per cafta consumption Of meat
and lard in the United States in 1920
was l54.3 poupds as compared with
1893 pounds in 19lS representing a
potential loss OF 1855 600 900 pounds,

Mr., Wilson presented figures to show

ton and that there has been a shrink

follows:
II can assure you it is a matter Of

loyal men Of Ulster hold the same
opinions as | do as to the English.
speaking peoples. 1t may interest you
to know that practically all the rep
utable newspapers in the United States
are now in thorough approval OF our
condemnation Of the activities of Sim
Fein sympathizers in the United
States.
This has been brought about by a
remarkable expression of opinion by
the American people in the form of
showers OF letters and telegrams TO
all concerned. 1t would almost seem
as though the incident were about
TO be transformed into an issue. At
all events, it will apparently have
considerable effect in the future. 1t

very considerable influence upon the
relations between our two countries"
