Why Such An Effort?
Editorial from the Wayne. Countian


Sometimes people look u on atten-
dance at church as duty Which may
be performed, and one which requires
more or less of an effort
When we go to show we pay the
price to see performers reproduce
scenes of every day life that are old
to mankind. 1t affords us the change
our natures require and we are salts
fed.
At every church service the minister
tells US something we did not know
before. He extracts his information
from a source that cannot be ques-
toned, from book that never grows
old, from the fountainhead of truth
and knowledge.
The pages of the Bible contain more
thrilling stories and more astounding
wonders than all other prints of civil
lization combined-and every word
is truth. All of this is ours for the
going, as free as the air that we
breathe. There is no ticket taker at
the door, and no admission is charged
We are welcome without price. Can
we ask more?

tionS. which had found their express
sion in his years of feverish toll, had
been wrapped about Allan. He had no
one else. His better self revolted
at that thought. "YOu have wife
and daughter" it said, ready TO share
your life as soon as YOU are ready TO

unable TO accept the testimony of his
own eyes. Then came panic of I'M
certainty, and he fell upon the boy,
cropping wildly for his heart, and at
last pressing upon IL in an agony or
fear. Yes. the beat was there,
faint and uneven, but unmistakable.
With n sudden surge of returning hope
he brought his ear down TO the open
mouth, fringed with light red foam,
and could hear the air laboring In the
ravaged lungs. Then came that hui
man sound, half gurgle, half groan;
but to Harris, in the reaction from
his first paralyZing fear, it was as very
music from heaven. His boy still lived,
and still should live.
Tenderly he turned the body to a
more comfortable position, laying his
folded coat beneath the head for a
pillow. He loosened the shirt about
the neck, and far down the htaving
chest saw the sodden red that marked
his wound Rain fell in scattered
drops, and he brought another blanket
from the cabin, caring little now for
the silent form in the doorway in the
sudden shadow of his greater tragedy.
He spread the blanket over the wound
ed boy. and sat down by his side, ca
ressing his temples with his big fin
gers, and wondering what TO do next.
As he sat the helplessness of his po-
sition grew upon him. He was deep
in the foot hills, many miles, as far as
he knew, from the home of any set
tier. In daylight he could, no doubt,
find his way back to town, but daylight
might be too late. He did not know
whether Allan was dying on his hands
at that moment Certainly TO attempt
to move him in the buggy would be
dangerous In the extreme.
And as he sat he thought of the
missing money, the fruit of his life's
labor, snatched from him In a moment
in the darkness. The loss did not hurt

Plant at Victoria Falls.

The project to erect power plant

be under way at that place. 1t has
been under discussion for many years,
but the one thing which stood in the
way was the proximity of cheap coal,

oners of war in the fields saved the lives
of millions of them. The far-reaching
effect of starvation must be taken into
account when one considers the future of
Germany. The present feeble and war
worn generation, unaided, will make
slow progress. But Germany is crafty.
She knows that raw material and man
power are what she needs, and she knows
that these are in Russia. The anti-Bol-
shevistic Russian will probably seek an
asylum and will certainly receive well

A PUBLIC LOSS.

General Charles H. Taylor, editor of
the Boston Globe, died at his home in
Boston, June 22nd. He was rs years old.
He had been editor of The Globe since
1878, when the paper was but year old
and was struggling for existence. His
introduction to the newspaper world was
at the case on the Boston Traveller, when
the Civil War broke out. He enlisted as
private and served until 1868, when he
was wounded and returned to Boston.
His title of General came with his SER
vice of three years as brigadier general
on the staff of Governor RUSSELL His
aim was to make The Globe cheerful,
attractiveI and useful newspaper that
would enter the home as kindly, help
full friend. In this he succeeded, as
host of readers of The Globe can testify.
Under ris management this paper was al
ways clean. fearless and worth reading.

CERTAIN OPINIONS OF DOCTORS.

The doctors in convention at Boston
listened to strong arguments favoring
dlscontlnuance of gaseous fumig CATION of
houses to prevent the spread of conta-
gious diseases on the ground that the
procedure is absolutely worthless and
contributes to wrong education of the
public. And with regard to children's
diseases the opinion expressed was that
proper education accomplishes more for
the control of such diseases than is posi-
bic by means of health regulations and
drastic legislation.
1t appeared that Notwithstanding "des-
perate campaigns" in Massachusetts the
mortality from diphtheria, measles, scar
let fever and whooping cough has not
decreased. One speaker summed up the
conclusion as follows:
Concerted action can teach the aver
age American mother that intelligent is
olation of her child under three years of
age is going to be very wise precaution
In view of the possible deaths from meas
les and whooping cough. The mother
can do 1t IT she wants to, and if she can
get rid of the foolish idea that the quick
er the baby is exposed to hopping
cough, and the sooner he gets over 1T the
better he is. Then we will get rid of this
terrible mortality. 1t is in the hands of
the American mother She can control
the child up to the age of three years,
and after that no one can control the
American child"
