portation would be easily and efficient
ly solved. But economic conditions
have so far interfered with the
realization of this plan, and the
truSty canine guides must share with
the members of the mems families the
task of conducting them to and from
their work. They are carried gratis on
the electric trans and subways, and
as soon as they have entered the fac
tory gates, pass over into the hands
of the institution.
Everything possible has been done to
insure the bodily safety of these men.
The machines are protected by strong
iron castings and adequate insulation
by means of pads eliminates any dam
ger of injuries about the head and face.
All the drills and screws are carefully
incased by q protective apparatus
which can be mounted and dismounted
with ease. The wormscrew and the
stamping presses remain motionless
until started by the workmen by
means of a safety lever. That deep
psychological understanding also plays
part in the treatment of these af-
flicted men, is demonstrated by the
fact that their immediate co-workers
are women instead of men.
This has been done to avoid even the
semblance of diminished efficiency, as
would have been the case had they
been placed in direct competition with
able bodied men. The blind men, as
whole, accomplish more than their wo-
men companions, and thus feeling
of self confidence and courage Is Gre
ated, aiding immeasureably to their
general efficiency.
While the blind ward at the Sic
mems Halske Works was not intended
primarily as marriage bureau, 1t has
nevertheless, had this effect, and a
number of happy marriages have re-
suited from this juxto- position Of the
touchingly helpless men and their
sympathetic women comrades.
The first impulse to employ blinded
workmen in the German factories
came from DR.. Slick, the well known
Berlin occulist, as early as 1915, but
the. Siemens- -Halske firm was the first
big concern to put the Slick theories
into practical application. The blind
men in their workrooms have acquir-
ed an astounding degree of proficiency,
some of them receiving as much as
hundred marks an hour.

WHEN SAM JONES PRAYED
Noted Evangelist Once Brought Rich
Man to the Light.

All America knew Sam Jones' as a
great evangelist, writes Marvin A.
Franklin in the Atlanta Journal. The
south especially knew and loved him
as a foe to evil and champion of
righteousness. Georgia was proud to
own him as her beloved and honored
son. But there are many who do not
know that he began his ministry as
Methodist circuit rider on the Van
Vert circuit composed Of five. churches
in Polk, Paulding, Barlow and Floyd
counties.
Before the civil war, Van Vert was
a thriving little town, the capital of
Polk county, with happy and con-
tented people. 1t has the distinction
of being the first town in this entire
section to have waterworks, the water
being brought from a mountain spring
two or three miles distance through
bored logs Van Vert was in the
pathway of Sherman's army and when
the northern troops had passed there
was little left save the meeting house"
standing at the foot of the hill.
1t was to this little town, fifty years
ago that Sam Jones came as the new
preacher" fresh from his remarkable
conversion and in, the glowing en-
thusiasm Of his divine call to the min
istry. For three years nc threw him
self into the work and his evangehstic
gifts and power were soon in evidence,
for all over the circuit the revival
fires began fairly to flame, and whole
communities were literally transform
ed. To this day, there are Christians,
loyal and true, in this section who de-
light to tell that they were converted
and joined the church under the minis
try of Sam Jones. During the three
years he was pastor of the Van Vert
circuit more than five hundred people
Joined the church, and the Circuit de-
veloped from the poorest in'the con-
ference to one Of the best charges.
The Rich Man Who Was Sick.
Many amusing incidents are re-
lated about his ministry of those early
days. Mrs Jones in her Life and
Sayings of Sam p. jones'" tells the
following which was typical of his
frankness in dealing with his members.
Zone of our wealthiest members was
taken seriously i'll. and thought that
he was going to die. He sent for his
pastor TO come around and pray with
him. Mr.. Jones called upon him, and
when entering the sick chamber the
member said, have sent for you to
pray for mel
"'Well,' said Mr.. Jones, Z don't see
any good reason for asking the Lord
to hea. you. If YOU can. tell me any
reason why you should live, I'll pray
for you; so far as I know you, have

The man got well and faithfully kept
his VOW.
The little house in which Sam Jones
and wife were so happy is still stand
ing, showing it's extreme aga and with
clinging vines growing over its side.
Then there is the quaint church
house built in ante-bellum style. 1t
stands almost at the foot of the hill
on a rise, overlooking the little village
of Van Vert It's framing is hewn
from the hearts of the pines such as
once grew in profusion about it. The
windows are high and numerous.
The Old, Old Bible.
The interior is plain and simple,
the home made benches very straight.
The Bible, yellow with age, with one
back gone, and many pages missing
for it has done service there for nearly
three-fourths of a century--still rests
on the pulpit 1t is easy to imagine
Sam Jones fifty years ago, standing
in this pulpit, reading to the congre-
cations that crowded this little church
and preaching with such power and
earnestness that scores sought and
found God about it's old-time altar.
Mr.. Jones himself always held the
place and the people in tender esteem.
Thirty years after his work at Van
Vert had ended, and he had become a
famous evangelist preaching to multi
tudes wherever he went, he returned
to deliver the commencement sermon
for Piedmont Institute at Rockmart.

never done anything for the Lord that
I can stand upon, while praying. You
have paid absolutely nothing to the
assessments of the church.; none Of
the missionary money for home or for
eign cause has been paid by you; the
stewards can't get anything out of you
toward my salary; my wife, children
and myself have needed the necessi-
ties Of life and my horse has had
nothing to eat, and you have had an
abundance of everything in your home,
and feed in your barn, and could have
helped us; therefore, I don't see any
thing to stand upon. There is no use
in my asking God to restore you; I
can ask him to forgive and save you,
and take you to heaven; but there is
no reason why should ask Him to
preserve your life; as you are abso-
lutely worthless to the cause!'

Boil WeeviI Remedies Threaten Exter'

mination of Bees.
One more evil to be laid at the door
of the boil weevil is the responsibility
for the destruction of the bee industry
in this section and the shortage of
honey that this year threatens to
starve the remaining swarms Of bees
during the approaching winter, de-
clares c. w. Creighton, Greenwood
beekeeper, relates the Greenwood In
dex-Journal. Other keepers of bees
cOrroborate what Mr.. Creighton says,
and assert that bees are in danger of
extinction from boil weevil poisons.
Practically no honey has been OBJ
tanned this year by keepers of bees in
this section. 1t was a bad honey year.

ed blossoms that were so fatal to the

HELPING WAR BLIND.
Berlin Factory Is Seeking to Aid Suf.
ferers.

One of the most practical and at the
same time, psychological solutions of
the problem of the war blind" seems
to have been found by the Siemens-
Halske Works in Berlin, probably the
largest electro-technical concern in the
world.
This firm has just celebrated its sew
cnty-fifth birthday. "Siemens City,"
as it is called, is accepted in every way
as the model workingmans settlement
1t was in conformity with this policy
that the employees of the firm who
were called to the colors were prom
ised that their jobs would be awaiting
them upon their return.
This promise has been interpreted as
not only meaning the able bodied,
and those who sustained only slight
injuries should be put back on the
payroll, but literally the lame, the
halt and the blind" are back in the
work rooms.
To the Siemens- Halske firm belongs
the crediting of creating an indcpend
ent working. sphere for q group of
blind workmen. A special work room
has been set apart for them where they
are engaged in the production of guam
tity articles.
AS the visitor enters the blind
wards" humming and throbbing with
the noise Of scores of electrically
driven machines, his eye is arrested by
the unexpected presence Of herd of
shepherd dogs, each of whom has his
place under the table Of the particular
workman to whom he has been assign
ed as q guide.
These animals have received a thor
ough course of training and have been
warned specially of the dangers of cleo
trical machines. Their intelligence is
nothing short Of astounding, and their
presence here bespeaks the care and
thought that has been expended upon
every phase of this problem.
AS originally planned, the blind
workmen were to be housed in q spe-
cially constructed building in Siemen's
City, whereby the problem of trans

Highly Organized Workers.

a bee hive is a highly organized in
dustrial plant. The bees are divided
into groups that have certain tasks to
perform. One group does not encroach
on another's task.
There is one squad that gathers the
nectar" Mr.. Creighton explains. AN
other group works up the honey after
it is placed in the cells. Still another
group caps the cells. When the field
workers go out to gather nectar and
never return, that stops the industry
in the whole hive. The others begin
eating the honey already stored, and
when the supply is exhausted, they
must be fed or they will starve.
81 shall have to feed my bees this
winter to keep them alive. Most Of
the honey gathcrers were killed in the
fields and the young bees and the 9TH
cr workers have nothing to live on"
What Will Happen If Bees Die.
If all the bees are killed, what will
happen to those plantG that depend on
bees for fertilization, is a question that
is puzzling students of nature here.
Many plants depend almost entirely on
bees. going from one plant to another,
to fertiliZc them. Without the agency
of bees, the fruits and seeds of these
plants will not mature. and the plants
themselves will shortly become ex-
tifict. ..:.... -. .t......... .-.....

No Dancer of Poisoned Honey.

Although the calcium arsenate was
fatal to the bees there is no danger in
eating honey, if any honey can be OBJ
tanned, for it is pure and has no poi
son in it. The honey gatherers drank
the poisoned nectar and died in the
fields, Mr. Creighton points out. The
workers in the cotton fields never got
back to the hives with their burden of
nectar and the honey that was made
was not gathered from poisoned plants.
Bees instinctively recognize plants
that arc naturally poisonous. but they
fall victims TO artificial poison. The
molasses and water mixture of CAL
cium arscnatc is especially fatal to
bees.

Politics and labor questions are
eliminated from the blind mans sphere
in the Siemens- Halske Works, and

DEMAND BEST ONE CAN GIVE
Practically NothIng That Is Worth
Having Can Be Attained With
Y the Greatest Effort.

1t Is easy to sit and watch others
work. But we know Of no employer
who will pay you wages for doing IT,,
unless You know how to do the work
yourself, and are working hard at the
Job Of supervising it.
1t Is easy to travel about the world
on steamships and parlor cars, very
pleasant and profitable to the man
with an inQuiring mind. But that is
a vacation occupation, and unless you
have earned the money to do 1t by
hard work you will get little out of it.
1t Is easiest of all to feel sorry for
yourself, and to think that you haven't
had a fair chance In life, and that
you'd have been a big success if you
hadn't met with so much injustice and
bad treatment. But that will get you
only u~nhappiness, which is the least
desirable thing in all the world.
There are many things in life that
are well worth doing, but none of them
are easy.
The tirst-class fiction writer takes
delight In his job, but he also works
at it harder than any man who is not
a first-class fiction writer or ever
dreams Of doing.
The great tenor, like Caruso, finds
pleasure In his job, and incidentally in
the money he gets from it. But he
works about six or seven hours a day
at 1t now, and in earlier life he worked
ten or twelve hours, receiving far less
pay for exactly as good music.
If good jobs were to be had by little
effort practically everybody would
have a good job. The reason that they
are so few, and that SO many of those
few are not filled, is that all of them
demanded the hardest kind of hard
work. not only to get but to keep
them.
Genius, which is said to know how
10 do things before 1t is born, has to
work just as hard as m~ediocrity to
gain and keep success. Nothing you
can think Of that brings real rewards
can be accomplished without more
work than most Of us can contemplate
without getting tired at the mere
thought of 1t. Yet people are doing
1t right along. and you seldom hear OF
any Of them killing themselves in the
effort.
If you have made up your mind to
do something unusual or to be some
body Of Importance learn how to work
twice as hard as you ever did before.
That Is only q first step. The second
is to think hard. II you can do both,
and keep them up long enough. yon
may land, but remember you will have
a lot of competition. Even hard work
finds plenty of men to believe In and
practice it.
And most of them get what they ar,

U. S. VETERANS BUREAU.

Pocatello, Idaho, April IA, 1922.
Disabled war veterans of this city
should beware of private agencies
claiming to ibe able to secure imme-
date favorable action ON pending
compensation claims against the
government, according to DR.. G. H.
Sprague, manager of the U. S. Vet
erans' Bureau in Pocatello. No
such agency has any influence or
."pull" with the Veterans Bureau
and retainer fees ranging from $40
to $50 paid such agencies by war
veterans are lost to the former SER
vice men, he stated.
1.-The thing to do to secure favor
able action on the war Icompensa-
ton claim is to build it up to come
within the law, if this is possible
said DR.. Sprague. "The personnel
of the Veterans Bureau and Off
Gals of e~x-service mems organiza-
lions and the Red Cross are in far
better position to assist in building
up claims and thereby securing fav-
orable action than any private agen~
cy, uney are more familiar
with the kind of affidavits needed.
The claimant should think twice be-
fore paying out those retainer fees"
There are scores of pending
claims for compensation and voca-
tional training filed by veterans of
this city. In most instances these
claimants have been unable to con-
meet their disabilities with the SER
vice. In the east, agencies seeking
retainer fees from veterans on the
pretense of being in a position to
secure immediate action on claims
are numerous, it is reported. An
effort will be made to limit activi-
ties of such organizations or indi-
viduals in the northwest by advis-
ing the veterans of the futility of
retaining their services.
