/" HE breakdown of former
President Wilson and
the death Of President
Harding made the entire press
of the country discuss the
advisability-in fact, the abb
solute necessity of tightening
the burdens of the President.
That the burdens of the
President are too heavy all
agree; the only divergence of
opinion is on the problem of
making those burdens lighter.
Only three concrete PROPOSE
tons were made tending to
the relief Of the President:
a. A constitutional amend
ment limiting the presidential
tenure of office to one term.
(2) To pass such legislation
as will remove some Of the
Presidents duties to other
shoulders.
60 To create another office,
that of an assistant to the
President, who win do some
of the Presidents work.
Before undertaking to
answer intelligently the ques-
ton of how to tighten the
Presidents burdens, let us
first see what his burdens
really consist of, what makes
him work so hard. and now
necessary is this hard work
for the country.
First of all, let us see
what burdens does the Con-
~,stitution of the United States
place on the shoulders of our
President. Section 2 of Article
II prescrihes the duties of the
President OF the United States
as follows: ~
"He shall be COMMANDMENT.
Chief of the army and navy OF
the United States, and the militia
of the several States when called
into actual service of the United
States.
'He shall have power, by and
with the consent of the Senate,
to make treaties, provided two
thirds of the Senator'S present
and he shall nominate,
and by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, shall APP
point ambassadors, other public
ministers and consuls, judges OF
the Supreme Court, and all other
officers of the United States
whose appointments are not here
In otherwise provided for, and
which shall be established by
law.
Section 3-He shall, from
line to time, give to the Con-
gress information Of the state of
he Union. and recommend t"
their consideration such measures
as he shall judge necessary and
he may, on extraordi-
nary occasions. convene both
Houses, or either of them. and
n case of disagreement between
hem with respect to time OF ad-
tournament. he may adjourn them
10 such time as he shall think
proper; he shall receive ambassa-
Tors and other public ministers;
he shall take care that the laws
% faithfully executed, and shall
all the officers of the
United States"

touch would be the use Of flower

through the supporting brackets seen
in the picture.
The exposed woodwork In this bun
galow is kept to a minimum. 1t would
not require much labor or outlay to
keep 1t painted white, enhancing the
appearance of the house and high
lighting the stucco exterior.
The construction of fireplace
against the inner wall Of the living
room Is a possibility which the occu-
pants of this bungalow could entertain
later without going to too much ex-
pense. 1t certainly would add greatly
to the livableness Of the room, and as
it would back against the flue leading
from the basement heating plant, there
would be no radical structural changes
involved. Consultation with your 10
cal architect or contractor might sug-
gest other features which might be
added without increasing too much the
modest investment required to build
this bungalow.

Master Of His Art.

A characteristic story of Sir Chris
topher Wren, the famous architect, is
still told in the town of Windsor where
he erected the town hall in the royal
borough. When the charming little
building, designed with the architects
utmost skill, was finished, the counsel.
lors met him on the spot to inspect
and criticize. Several PORTED out that
the pillars In the lower part of the
building did not appear stout enough
to support the council chamber above
Whereupon Sir Christopher called for
u ladder and sheet of paper. Mount
ing the ladder he slipped the sheet of
paper through an imperceptible space
that lay between the upper portion of
each columns capital and the ceiling
above. Mystified but content, the coun-
cillors are said to have waived all
further objection.

DAIRY.
CLEANLINESS is IMPORTANT
Insure cleanest Possible
Grade Of Milk. &I

Unclean and improperly cared for
milk causes more disease and death
among infants during the summer than
any other one factor. But why wait
until summer before taking action1
"Use the cooler days of spring." say
dairy specialists of the agricultural
colleges, ito reduce the sources of
milk contamination to a minimum, and
thus insure the cleanest possible
grade Of milk during the critical sum-
mer season."
Cleanliness is the first of the two
"Cs" of the well-kept dairy. Milk
from the time it leaves the COW until
1t is consumed Is always in danger Of
infection from some kind of bacteria.
These bacteria are constantly present
on the body of the COW, in dusty. i'm
pure air, in bad water, in unclean
utensils and on the hands and clothing
of the helpers.
Good milk can be produced under
ordinary farm conditions by observing
the following points:
l. Have the barn well ventilated at
milking time and see to it that no
operations are going on that will stir
up dust Feed hay and sweep after
milking.
.. Be sure that at least the teats
and udder of the COW are clean.
3. Use a small-top, sterile milk pail
and have all other utensils clean and
sterile. If possible use steam; If not
boiling water.
AS the bacteria that get into milk
are dormant and increase slowly at
lower temperatures, but will increase
rapidly as long as the milk remains
warm-above so degrees F., the second
&C" in producing and handling whole
| some milk under average condition.
Is cold. The fourth point then to be
considered is that of cooling the milk
as soon as produced to a temperature
below 80 degrees F. and maintaining
that cold temperature until the milk
Is delivered.
Get into the habit now of following
these simple practices. 1t will insure
the public against sour milk and un-
wholesome infant food in the hot days
to come.

to function as the nations financial
capital.
A recent investigation as to the
origin of one hundred leading execu-
tives in the New York financial dis
trict, showed that no less than sixty
per cent were born outside New York
State, that no less than twenty-eight
per cent were born in towns of 5000
or less, and only twenty per cent were
born in New York City.
The birthplaces of these men rep
resented Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa'
chusetts, Connecticut, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware,
Vermont, Mississippi. Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Minnesota, Iowa. Florida,
Rhode Island, North Carolina, Indi-
ana, Wisconsin, Georgia, California,
Montana, Maine, West Virginia, New
Jersey and the District of Columbia.
The same situation is true of the
younger men, particularly in the
banks. This reflects more than mere
ly the attraction of the big city for
ambitious young men. 1t is the result
OF the definite purpose OF New York
banking to equip itself to perform
most effectively its work for all the
nation.
a brief description of the mechan-
ism of the nations banking system
will make this clear Many Of the
New York banks are bankers banks.
They are great reservoirs of credit in
which banks throughout the country
deposit unemployed funds in New
York. When crop needs in rural dis.
tricts or industrial expansion in man.
ufacturing centers increase local re.
quirements for money these local
York and in addition may ask the big
city banks for loans.
Country banks frequently deposit
as security the notes Of their own Gus
toners, often secured, in turn, by farm
capital such as ploughs, livestock and
other possessions. The fifty thousand
dollar note, for instance, of country
bank in big New York bank may
have attached, as collateral security
fifty or hundred small notes of a
hundred dollars up to a thousand
or more, signed by local farmers and
their wives. Into one of the biggest
New York banks comes in this way
from the South each crop season a
small note secured by a plough and a
harrow and mule named Molly
an incident that has been aptly de.
scribed as THE Minting of Molly"
1t is one among many securing a large
inter-bank credit.
Thus is big banking in New York
brought close to the plain people of
the soil-thus does 1t finance their
humble husbandry-and thus has 1t
felt the need of recruiting its officers
from among men familiar and sympa-
thetic with local conditions-abe to
visualize the needs of the people there
and pass sonnd judgment on the
credit factors involved.
1t is due to the conditions thus pic.
,ured that among the officers of New
York's banks will be found represen-
tatives from all parts of the nation.
They are the delegates of the people
at tne business capital.

WHEN TOBACCO WAS "KING"
Narcotic Practically tho First Agricul.
tural Pursuit of the Early Uni.

Aside from such crops as were nee
essary to the maintenance Of the In
dividual pioneers life, tobacco fur
nished practically the first agricul-
tural pursuit to those colonists who
came from England and became the
original farmers of the New world.
Many a year passed before there was
any other Of magnitude worthy of
the economists attention. England
was the first country of Europe to
take up smoking. and the practice
grew with such rapidity that there
was, very soon, a constant and great
demand for tobacco.
Consequently, it was the English set
tiers at and around about jamestown,
Va. that developed tobacco growing

from the wild state into the begin
ming of scientific cultivation. Then,
when it was found that, by care, the
leaf could be improved in quality, the
demand for the better grades in
creased, and there was such to-
bacco boom that even the streets Of
that little outpost of civilization were
turned into tobacco fields.
In Maryland tobacco was made legal
tender in 1882, at the rate of penny
a pound. 1t was the legal payment for
all debts.

sermon. The chief thing emphasized in
his address was "The Great Need of
Being Interested in the Welfare of
Others.'
AT the close of the evening devotion
al service, the fourth quarterly confer
ence was held with a goodly number
of the official members present. The
reports from practically every depart
ment of the church showed splendid
gain along most every line of Christian
activity for the year.
The PASTORS report showed that
forty-two have been added to the mem.
bership during the conference year.
After all deductions for transfers out,
it leaves us an increase in membership
of practically twenty-five per cent.
There are number of others who have
declared their purpose to unite with
the church before the close of the con-
ference year.
The following financial report was
submitted:
Money raised and applied
for benevolent purposes. $ s52.15
Money raised and applied
for ministerial purposes 100000
, Money raised for improve
ments and running exp. 656.0O
Paid on old Indebtedness $4,000
Grand total .$2.s2s.15
To meet our financial obligations
for the conference year, which end,
with the beginning of September, we
will raise nearly a thousand dollars vet.
So the total for the year will run near
four thousand.
