BOARDING THRILLS.

= R. WAELDE has never taken
a railroad trip, though for 80
years he has been the railroad sta
ton agent at Milton, N, Y.
Now, retired on a pension at the
age of 81, he starts a 7,000-mile
.iaunt in a Pullman. He will travel
over the continent, visiting the al
luring places to which he has been
selling tickets since 1888.
To put yourself in his place for
a moment, just recall your breath
less excitement when you took your
first railroad trip long ago.
Many man who figuratively has
seen and done everything would
trade several years of his life, to
have followed Waelde's system and
saved up a few of LIES simple
thrills.
Youth says, "Hooray! I'm going
there. First trip. Don't you wish
you were me?"
5 Old age, conceited, cynical boasts
scornfully, cav, I've been there
Don't expect too much. You're apt
to be disappointed"
Yet old age envies youths excite
ment and anticipation. When those
are gone, youth is gone-and, with
it. most of life that is really worth
while.
JOY IS in the pursuit and conquest
not in the capture and victory.
Anticipation beats realization.
You young men, taking hard
knocks, trying your strength, you
do not realize. it but with all your
hardships and disappointments you
are living the best time Of your lives.
The trip is the thing that counts, not
the destination.
The lure Of the sea, also its charm,

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY,

PASSING BY $4,000, 900.
THERE are $4,000, 900 worth

THERE are $1o,OOO,OOO worth of
eggs sod in Georgia that are
the product of Georgia farms each
year.
That seems like a lot of eggs
doesn't it. The total is more than
we get for the peach crop and more
than many other crops which are
more widely advertised, bring into
the state.
Consider this.
Georgia. can use $4,000, 900 more
IN home egg production than
1t is at present consuming.
In other words it is a safe esti-
mate that this state is producing less
than half the amount of eggs neccs-
sary for consumption in Georgia
each year.
Is it not time that the farmers
were paying little attention to this
matter?
Why send $1O,OOO,Ooo out Of the
state for something that can be pro
duced right here at home without
any extra expense or trouble.
The egg crop of Georgia runs into
big money, according to agricul-
tural experts Of the Atlanta, Biz
mingham and Atlantic railway.
The railroad agriculturists say that
Georgia people hear more about the
peach crop than they do about the
egg crop, but the eggs sold bring
more than the peaches and apples
both. fNs
1t is pointed out that not more
than one-half the eggs produced in
the state ever reach the market and
yet, the experts say, Georgians sell
them each year to an amount in the
neighborhood of $10,0OO,OOO.
The chickens rails d each year, it
is stated by the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railway experts, who
have compiled figures on the poultry
industry, are worth a like sum and
they, like eggs, it is shown, are con-
sumed at home in quantity quote

e Dl ORlAL
THE SUNDAY BLUE LAWS

In an age of reason and enlighten-
ment the more religion is brought
into harmony with life the better it
is for religion. 1t is evident, how
ever, that our ministerial friends OF
some Christian denominations do not
begin to understand this. In this
very age and country Of God-given
liberty some would have us revert to
medieval asceticism and religious des-
potism. The bitter but unavailing
fight some denominations made few
years ago against Sunday newspapers
is still fresh in our memory. Occa-
sionally an echo is still heard of cler-
ical attempts to save our souls from
the sure damnation we incur by read
ing a family paper and looking. at
funny pictures on Sunday. And
now come the Blue Law advocates
and demand that everything be elm
mated on Sunday except church-go-
ing.
The underlying motive in this, as
in every other effort of puritanical
; Sunday legislations, is very clear. Our
clerical friends are simply laboring
under the impression that by taking
forcibly every other occupation from
people OH OunuayS CHey VIII SeI eAS
public to attend church services.
What such enforced attendance at
services might be worth to the Chris
tian clergy is, of course, not for US
to estimate. One should think that
the Christian clergy would do better
by directing it's efforts towards ele-
waiting the tone and type of service
so that the church might gain at
tendants from interest and not from
ennui. One should think also that
the ministers would see the danger
of defeating the very purpose they
are wishing to accomplish by the ex-
IRENE measures they are advocating.
Apparently, though, they do not seem
to see this. Apparently they do not

seem to comprehend that the time
when people could be forced to attend
church services, in this land Of lib
erty, at least, is passed never to re-
turn. They do not appear to realize
that people will nowadays be whipped
into church-going mentally just as
little as they would be physically.
Such measures might have worked
well in times gone by, but they will
not do today. The American people
are too intelligent and far-sighted not
to see that, if these unreasonable de-
mands be acquiesced in, there is no
telling to what extremes over-zealous
ministers will go to rob modern life
Of every convenience and comfort.
The American people have higher
regard and shows a truer respect for
religion and religious institutions
than any nation on earth. But the
American people are too mindful OF
the lessons of history to allow any
body of men to reach out for recon-
Citation between church and state.

THE WOES OF AN UNMARRIED
CANTOR

One of the laws of the Great Syna-
gogue of Amsterdam is that it's min
lister and hazzan should be married
men. About six years ago, Rev. A:
Stoutzker was elected chief cantor of
the synagogue, but since he was then
unmarried he was made to promise
that he would set about to procure for
himself a wife Immediately. This he
apparently tried to do, but he was un-
successful, and the matter was post
poned. Meanwhile he was not al
lowed to officiate during the services
of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Mr.. Stoutzker had made several visits
to different towns with the avowed
purpose of finding wife, but fortune
was against him. Recently he was
given another leave of absence for
that purpose, and this time success
was his. While in London, he met a
young lady from Tredegar, to whom
he became betrothed, to the satisfac-
ton of his community.

were not receiving enough prayer
books. The strike took the form of
refusing to go to sleep. The children
won the strike and received the COW
eted Sidurim. In this interesting
news item there is much food for re-
Election. Thank God that the terri
BILE privations to which these children
had been exposed during the years of
the war did not stamp out their Jew
ish idealism. "Here" we are only too
prone to lose sight of the spiritual,
and to think of the needs and prob
lens of the Jews "there" as merely
those of bread and butter, of food
and clothing, forgetting that Jews
also have spiritual needs. "There,"
in spite of the wretchedness and the
crushing poverty, Jews from their
very childhood prove by their deeds
that "Man doth not live by bread
only"
Incidents like these emphasize
that while American Jews are saving
their European brethren from starva-
ton, yet when it comes to spiritual
ity and Jewish inspiration the bene-
fciaries can make their benefactors
the debtors.

The draft of the proposed consti-
tuition for Palestine has been an
nounced, and an abstract of it made
public. At present there are no less
than three groups giving it their
earnest consideration--the British
governmental authorities, the Zionist
Organization and the Arab Delega-
ton that had come to Europe to pro-
test against Zionist aspirations. The
abstract shows an evident desire to
safeguard the interests Of the var
ious elements in Palestine. The
fundamental question is whether the
constitution is not premature, in view
of present conditions in Palestine.
The pronouncement by the Zionist
organization, as representing the
Jewish attitude, will be awaited with
much interest.

We are in complete and cordial
agreement with The American Israel
tie in the following recent editorial
expression from it's columns:
The services rendered by the Jew
ish press to American Jewry and to
it's religious, philanthropic and educa-
tional institutions have been invalua-
BILE. They have, however, not only not
been in the smallest degree requited,
but they are even unappreciated. The
Jewish press has never received any
support from the Jewish congrega-
tions or other Jewish organizations.
On the contrary, they have not only
asked, but even demanded free of
charge services that other organiza-
tions and individuals are required to
pay for, but officers of very few Of
them have ever had the good grace to
even insert a few words of thanks in
their annual messages. That the jew
ish papers, and more especially The
Israelite, have thrived, in spite of this,
proves conclusively that they are sup
plying a need.
If we substitute the name of this
journal for that given in the preceding
sentence the entire paragraph quoted
may stand as our own thought.-He-
brew Standard.

The Symposium on Jewish Educa-

University of Minnesota should meet
with enthusiastic encouragement by
thoughtful members of the COM

oratorical ability of a high order.
Any encouragement given to the Jew
ish student to develop along Jewish
lines will bring large dividends in
communal development.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND THE
MASS-MEETING


MASS-MEETING
To tell anyone in the Twin Cities
at this date about the Mass Meeting
for the Jewish War Relief would
seem like effort wasted. And yet, we
can well conceive of people saying:
81 know all about the urgency of the
call and how great the need is; l in
tend to respond as generously as l
can, even without going to the meet
ing. So why waste an evening!
They don't need to work hard with
me, as I intend to give anyhow" 1t
is especially to those who argue thus
that we would say with all the
earnestness at our command: Don't
miss the Mass Meeting. No matter
how faithfully we have read the de-
scription of the conditions of the
Jews overseas; no matter how anxious
you are to show the proper spirit OF
kinship and sympathy you cannot
even begin to understand the true
situation nor how much you really
can do until you have come to the
mass-meeting. What you read in
cold print, no matter how fearful,
cannot compare with the warm san
guine description Of the eye-wit-
nesses. No matter how great or
potent your sympathy, it is as nothing
to the surge of emotion that comes
over you when you feel yourself one
of a large multitude sharing your
anguish and your sympathy for the
suffering. We have known men and
women who in the midst of throng
who were similar minded, have risen
to heights of exalted emotion which
worked wonders. Remember, too,
that the enthusiasm and the zeal
which one gets at a public meeting
is doubly useful. 1t inspires you per-
sonally and it makes of you a source
of inspiration to get others into the
proper mood. And the mass meeting
after all is only the beginning of the
campaign.
From the practical point of view,
we have never been able to under
stand the attitude of the person who
deliberately stayed away from mass
meetings. The speakers at the meet
ings are always inspiring is
why they are invited. They are cal
culated to call out the best in their
audience. If absence from the meet
ing would bring immunity from be-
ing solicited to contribute there
might be some point to staying away.
But what canvasser worthy the name
would allow a good prospect to es-
cape just because he had not attended
the mass-meeting? No, even the
absentees will have to contribute
Then why should they deprive them
selves of the privilege and the pleas
ure (if one can apply that term to
the narrowing description of condi-
lions of European Jewry) of hearing
the notable speakers and at first
hand? So whatever your point OF
view, heed the call. DON'T MISS
THE MASS-MEETING.

called the tuned plate circuit method

cult consists Of the varIometer "a
