NJ METHODISTS ADOPTING
FAMILY ALTAR LEAGUE

More that $4,000 Methodist
heads of families have enrolled
for family prayer and systematic
Bible reading in the home, and
new members OF the family altar
league are being received at the
rate Of forty to Fifty day.
Southern Metbodists claim that
the concerted effort of that dsuom-
ination to deepen the prayer life
Of it's people is not n forward move
ment, but rather a return to the
days when family prayer occupied
its rightful place in the home and
marked the beginning and close of
each days activities.
AS means of returning to these
Fundamentals" j" Southern Metho-
diste have made the family altar
league q definite part of the Chris
tian education movement. This
phase of the educational program
is conducted through the Depart
nl-nt of Spiritual Resource, of
which DR.. L. l.. Cobb of Nashville
Is secretary.
The names Of ali those enroll
Ing are Kept Oh file for correspond-
ence and receive encouraging and
bel ptul literature on prayer For
the benefit Of those unaccuAtomed
to the language OF audible prayer,
there has been issued an attractive
little book Of prayers which MEM
btrs are invited 10 nse freely.
Methodist leaders aro saying
that whether this effort be for
ward move or IA return 10 first
principles, it is a step in the right
direction, since any program which
will bring about q closer commun-
! ity of Interests IN the life of the
average American family is great
ly to be desired.

tive. These organizers have nam
ed leaders in each association and
the associations have subdivided
into districts with a representative
being held responsible for each
district. Each district chairman
is seeking the cooperation of the
churches under his supervision in
coming up with their quota in
cash.
"Since Tennessee is host to the
approaching Southern Baptist
convention, let us go before our
guests, not only in extending them
whole hearted welcome into our
midst, but also in the discharge of
our duty to the great causes which
bring us together" DR.. Wilson
urges in a message to his fellow
Baptsts.
"To DO this we must meet our
campaign quota this year. Failure
would reflect on us. With one ac-
cord let our slogan be Hospitality
to our brethren and loyalty to our
Lord,'" he concludes.

$25 BONUS FOR
HOME TEACHERS

The County Board of Education
at its meeting Saturday went on
record as endorsing summer school
work for Benton County teachers.
A bonus ia offered all teachers who
attend the State nornals or insti-
tutions of equal rank as much as
six weeks during the summer term.
The amount of the bonus is S25
for each teacher who meets the
requirements. The requirements
are as follows:
As stated above-as much as six
weeks attendance at a summer
school with creditable work and
teaching full length school in
Benton County the coming season.
This bonus will be distributed at
the rate of SIS the month for a Pc
riod OF FIVE months; or should the
schools of the county be shorter
than five months, the last warrant
issued will contain the remainder
of the S25. In 10 case will the
bonus exceed S25.
In consideration of the above
offer of the County Board of Edu-
cation, the special training course

GLASS COULD BE
FRACTURED BY
TE.NOR'S VOICE

LOndon--Dr. William Lloyd
throat specialist. who for many
years treated Caruso, writes to the
Daily Mail that, comparing him
with other great singers, he found
the following characteristics of the
perfect singing machine.
THE most striking feature was
the great length of the vocal tube:
the distance from the teeth to the
vocal cords, in Caruso was ct least
half an inch more than in any 9TH
er great tenor l have examined.
"a second point was the length
of the vocal cords, on whose length.
breadth and thickness the pitch of
the voice largely depends. The av2
erage length of the relaxed vocal
cords in a man is Is millimeters
(about u inch). Caruso's vocal
cords were one-sixth inch longer
than those of any other tenor l
have seen.

QUICKEST BOYS IN THE WORLD" SELECTED TO
ACCOMPANY SHACKLETON ON HIS POLE TRIP

London, Sept. 0e.-The luckiest
boys in the world are the two Boy
Scouts who will accompany Sir Err
nest Shackleton. famous Antarctic
explorer, on his second voyage TO
the south pole.
The boys are ". E. Mooney, IT,
and J. W. Mari, 10, both natives of
the north of Scotland. They came
down to London to offer their serv-
ives as cabin boy on board Shackle-
tons vessel, the Quest One of them
had never seen a passenger train
until he made this journey.
Ten thousand other Boy Scouts
had gathered for the same purpose
to act as cabin boy, but more es-
pecialIy to be off on the one ad-
venture no boy had ever before
taken. Mooney and MARI were the
lucky ones. Shackleton personally
picked them.
81 wanted to take all the 10000,
they were such fine lads" said
Shackleton, "but as could not do
so. these two are to go with me-
1.-THE immediate object of my trip
is to explore the region known as
the Enderby Quadrant, region
strangely neglected by the explor-
ers. I suppose it is because there
are no great blocks of land to al
tract the explorer that it is neglect
ed.
ut is a region of a lost island,
screened from view by great wall
of ice, and my lob is to get behind
that wall and see what there is to

the vocal cords is another most i'm
portant factor, for the higher the
note the more rapid must be the
vibration. Caruso was singing his
wonderful chest C sharp reached
the phenomenal vibration for a man
of $50 per second.
"Caruso's whole body seemed to
have more average resonance and
one of the great secrets of his
wonderful voice was the formation
of the epiglottis, which was thick
at the base, as in bassos, but ex-
quisitely fine and delicate at the
free end. The power of his voice
was so great that he often fractur-
ed glasses in my consulting room
by singing their fundamental notes
at the orifice."

DROUGHT STIRS UP MAKERS
 OF RAIN

tBy International News Servicc)
 EMPORIA, Kan, Sept s. The "rainmaker" is on the job again Or rather, he's after job again. And if Kansas farmers will only say the word he will come to their broad acres and, with the proper "hocus pocus," ." bring down torrents of rain to succor the ripening crops.
 The drought in this section of Kan sas during the past month brought scores of applications from "rainmak- CTS" Individuals. corporations and communities received them by the dozen. It appears. in fact, that there around the country to bring about a second deluge. if they all gathered in convention and started up their rain making machinery to lure the elusive raindrops out of clear sky.
 As a result of the raiumakers' of fers to give Kansas a downright good soaking many inquiries have been re- ceived at the Kansas state normal school here as to whether CredenCe could be placed in such proposition Professors in the department of chem istry have replied that rain making is scientific possibility.
 Twenty-Five years ago Professor T. H. Dinsmore. head of the department of chemistry at that time, actually produced rain on the roof of the nor mai school.
 Professor Dinsmore arranged q balloou-like affair, which he sent into the air from the roof of the building, ' said faculty member who witnessed the experiment.
 "To this was attached a little rubber tube leading to an ammonia gas gen orator on the building The gas, es- caping into the air. tended to condense the moisture in the clouds until they became heavy enough to precipitate in the form of rain. Some rain actu- ally was produced. The experiment. of course. was on q small scale
 No rainmaker, however has been engaged as yet to mix Jupiter Pluvius cocktails for thirsty Kansas crops.

FEAR BOGUS MILK
 SALE
cHs International News service)

NtW inAcinalloHdi NtNS SttNlCeJ
 NEW YORK, Sept Sunless con gress enacts a bill proposed to put production of milk substitutes, which have been proved injurious to health will be forced upon New York and other milk-distributing companies, ac. cording to Arthur w Milburn, presi, dent of the Borden Condensed Milk Company
 The milk substitutes lack vitamines and other ingredients essential to promoting growth in an infant. Last year S7OOO.OOO pounds of condensed skinned milk" in which the butter fat has been replaced by cocoanut oil or other vegetable fats, were hold in the United States As this sort of product has been on the market for only three years it's growth is considered alarming by manufactur. CTS who believe in retaining butter fat in condensed milk for it's nu. trite qualities.
 Feeding children on milk from which all the butter fat has been ex. tracted may result in pellagra and kindred diseases, Mir. Miburn said.
 In brief filed with the agricultu- ral committee of the house, which is holding hearings on the Vogit bill to prohibit substitute milk. the Bor- den Company, through it's attornetv. Walter Engles, referred to testimany by Dr. McCullom. of John Hopkins university in which he condemned the substitution of vegetable oils and fats for butter fat, on the ground that public health would not permit of the sale of this article.
 Retail grocers sell the substitute milk on the same terms as condensed milk containing butter fat and often at the same price, according to Mr. Milburn, although the cost of mann. facture is $I70 a hundred pounds. compared with $i41 for milk contain ing butter fat
 The problem is no imaginery one" said Mr. Milburn. With cocoanut, reanut and cottonseed oils competing with butter fat there is bound to be decided slump in our daily industry. The milk supply rises and falls with the price obtained for the article Tho lutter fat replaced by foreign oils and fGts creates a surplus to be used in other products, such as full cream butter and cheese, oversupplying the market and reacting in decreased pro duCtion. Last year 7.r0OOOO pounds of cOCoanut oil replaced a Ike amount of butter fat in evaporated milk and put $ 0OO,00O extra pounds of butter on the market that competed with and lowered the price 0f creamery butter. The public may see in this benefit, but it is of a very temporary charac- ter, since a lower price for milk prod ucts has always curtailed production and induced the sale of cows for meat
