He conceded that in refining at the present time, practically all silver is recovered. He also declared that ws<le treatment charged in some instancea runs s10 ton it would be much larger but for the five per cent deduction.

of corn and only one, and gives life
to that particular grain. If this pol
len is too dry, or is dead. then it fails
to fertilize the silk. That means no
corn. Sometimes the hot wind kills

happen-a barren cob. But when
everything works out right the

IN THE CORN e L

Several years ago a few counties
III southeastern South Dakota labeled
themselves "the corn belt. Ever
c that time the belt has been
stretching until it now takes in all of
the state east of the Missouri River
and quite a few counties west of the
river. Corn is now South Dakota's
greatest crop.

NATURES BIBLE

Miller. Aug. 20: Some n has
! said See Naples and die" carving
the idea that the city OF Naples is
the greatest sight in the world. But
say see a South Dakota corn field
and live-not die, but live and be
thankful for the privilege of living.
When n looks on something in
Nature he is looking on something
that the great King of the Universe
made-not onlv made but thought
about in the first place, something
like the case of a farmer who builds
a residence or a barn. he thinks il
out first. So then. looking on Nature
is reading the great Creators works
His handwriting. His thoughts
Something more valuable than
books. Emerson, at one time a
preacher in the heart of Boston, says
when we are reading Natures
writing our time is too precious for
us to turn to books" He says that
books are for inan's idle hours.
Certainly man has to know some
thing before he could invent books
and printing. This world Is a great
sc%hoolhouse. Where did Lincoln get
his education? He says 81 went to
school six months and after that it
was a pickup here and there like the
hens pick up the kernels of grain
around the farm"
! DR.. MCGEE Waters who, a few
years ago preached in Tonpkins
Avenue church, Brooklyn, the larg-
est Congregational church in the
world. said in one of his sermons,
Mature is Gods first Bible, as holy,
as divine. as direct, as inspired as
the printed Bible" | have spoken
to several preachers about this state
ment of DR.. Waters and they all
agree with it. Then. let me ssk why
they don't give US more sermons
from Natures Bible? Never mind
abouc the text. Take a subject and
talk about that, You know what
Beecher saws about a text He saws
that a text is supposed to be a gate,
opening out into a larger field of
though, but, he says. too many ride
on the gate forgetting the larger
field.
Now If DR.. Waters is right. and~I
think he is, let US consider the corn
field which is a page from Natures
Bible. When h e temperature
reaches about 70 degrees in the
spring, kind nature speaks to the
sleeping kernel of corn and starts il
on its way to ward the Ell r,a AMI the
shock. The farmer is relieved whe-
he sees the first little biz des above
he ground. because he was afraid
all the time he might be planting
poor seed. Then he watches for the
~tassel. and then again for the silk,
the most beautiful flower IN all the
world. The tassel contains a lif,
giving powler called LolIen. Thu
pollen is sprinkle on the silk to fer
tilize it n each strand of silk. b.

Director of Visiting Nurses
Declares Cases so Per Cent
Above Normal.

Washington is not yet over the grip
epidemic which for several weeks has
swept the city. Miss Gertrude H.
Bowling, director of the Visiting
Nurse Association, told the Thomas
Circle Citizens Association last night.
Whereas the normal number OF pa
tients per month OF her association
was from 500 to 1000. she said. the
number increased more than 80 per
cent in January. The association, Miss
Bowling said, is growing in influence
and in usefulness to the community.
At present there are tWenty-six
graduate nurses on the staff.
Want Parental Court.
The association adopted a resolution
by Edward n Parker condemning the
hoard of childrens guardians. urging
its abolishment and the establishment
of parental court instead OF the
Juvenile Court.

some place to be sent for treatment
besides insane asylums. The stigma
attaching to asylums for the insane,
he said. deferred many persons from
taking treatment to rid themselves
of the habit. Without mentioning
names, DIR. McCue told of specific in
stances which had come under his
treatment, and explained that the ac-
ton of drugs. weakened the will

needed assistance from experts. and
the care which an institution for ad-
