N proportion as a man 10 a true man he
| is a servant The biggest word In the
dictionary is Duty. The dfvinest Of verbs
is Ought.
To grow up means to encounter RESPONSE
bility. The world is full of Peter Pans
that Is to say, Of men and women who shrink
from the burdens of maturity.
But sooner or later to every one OF us
comes the Burden and the Task. We fee 1t,
we dodge and suuirm, but 1t pursues us, In
evitable and stern.
The inner ear Of each mans soul hears
the voice Of Life: Find your work, and do
it," Only by obedience to this command
can he find peace. II he disobays, by and
with "grievous crab-tree cudgel," with
tragedy and thorns, or with nausea and
WEAKNESS, and drives him to his place.
The world is governed and kept going by
a few strong instincts; but among these not
the least Is that feeling that cannot be
sponged from the human heart, the feeling
that II have a work to do, and how am
straitened until 1t be accomplished"
E There never was more superficial, Cheap,
and nasty ,delusion than that mex work only
for gain, and that If you take away wages
and the hope Of becoming wealthy all human
kind would lapse into laZiness.
The contrary is true. No really good work
was ever done for q reward The best work
OF the world, and the greater part OF the
work Of the world, is done fer the same rea-
son tnat cnlldren play, III ls because men
would be wretched without activity, because
unless men produce, create, and play the
mighty game of business they die of the
worm.
Work is the normal functionng OF the
adult. Mankind builds bridges, bores tun-
nels, constructs ocean liners, erects skyscrap-
srs, paints pictures, writes books, and grinds
-four because there Is JOY and health.
"a man with no job, with no part OF LIES
burden accepted and carried, Is no man. He
bears the same relation to humanity that
flies and snakes bear. He Is curse and an
incubus.
And Is 1t not singular that great de-
sire seems to be to lay up enough money so
that our children will not have to work."
Let us thank God that riches have wings,
for II they should remain fixed their leaden
weight would asphyxiate the world.

duced is increasing, but Florida far outranks
California in both quantity and quality.

each sign was backed" so to speak, into the

authority as the Horse Association of Amer

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY

There is a path which no fowl knoweth,
and which the puHure's eye hath not seen;
the lions whelps have not trodden it.,
nor the fierce lion passed by it. He put
teth forth His hand upon the rock; He
operturneth the mountains by the roots;
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks;
and His eye seeth every precious thing,
He bhndeth the floods from opeflowing;
and the thing that is hid, bringeth He
forth to light But where shall wisdom
be found, and where is the place of under
standing? !. &. Behold, the fear of the
Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from
evil is underStanding.-Job 28:7-12:28.

Cotton and the Trade Balance

MERICAS trade balance for 1928 was
n ss75,OOO,OoO. We sell more than we
buy. Our receipts exceed our dis
bursements-in some respects a happy
omen.
But when one stops to analyze the fig
exports cotton represented $780, 900,
or twice our trade balance. But for cot
ton, instead OF showing a favorable trade
balance of $4,000, 900, we would have been
$4,000. 900 the other way around. Our
accounts would be SIN the red" except for
one great export-a staple, by the way, that
IL produced without any subsidy from the
government, or protective tariff.
The production of cotton depends on sew
eral things. There is the weather, and there
is the boil weevil; and then there is the mat

To indulge her, as 1t seemed, he slowly
drew the richly hilted dagger from his
girdle.

carelessly tossed it down beside her.
With a quick indrawn breath she bounced
upon it.
"At last" she said, you give me some
thing for which I can be grateful to you"
And on the words she laid the point of 1t
against her breast.
Like lightning he had dropped to one
knee, and his hand had closed about her
wrist with such grip that her arm felt
limp and powerIess. He smiling into
her eyes, his swarthy face close to her
own.
Did you indeed suppose I trusted you?
Did you think me deceived by your sudden
pretense of yielding? When will you learn
that I am not fool? l did 1t but to test
your spirit"
Then now you know its temper" she re-
piled. You know my intention"

How idle Is that boast. Ny body you may
bind and confine; but my soul Be very
sure that you shall be cheated OF your bar
gain. You boast yourself lord of life and
death. A lie! Death is all that you can

Quick steps came pattering up the stairs,
and before he could answer her, before he
had thought Of words In which to do so, All
confronted him with the astonishing an
nouncement that there was a woman below
asking urgently TO speak with him
"a woman?" he questioned, frowning. "A
Nasrani woman, do you mean"
No, my lord. A Moslem," was the still
more surprising information.
"a Moslem woman, here? Impossibe!"
But even as he spoke dark figure glded

terrace. She was in black from head to foot,
including the veil that shrouded her, veil
of the proportions of mantle, serving to
dissemble her very shape
All swung upon her in rage.

daughter OF shame?" he stormed. She has

Something about that black immovable
figure arrested his attention and fired his

to his mind the thought Of Ayoub-el-Samin

NEWlNGTON'S BATTLE ON
 THE AMENDMENT

The victory of Elmer w, Pape over Miss Mary G. Wells as the Re- publican nominee for the legislature in the town of Newington, turned out 10 be a battle in which a re- Nersal of four votes would have tied it and a reversal of five votes would have won for Miss Wells,
 Such tight nomination indicates that sentiment regarding the child labor amendment, the issue that brought out the big vote in Newing- ton, is evenly divided; but the vote of Newington in the legislature will 20 against ratification of the amendment just as effectively as if sentiment against the amendment were unanimous.
 The town of Newington has one representative in the legislature and Is included in district representation in the senate. It's population is but fraction of that of the city of New Britain, which has two representa- tives and one senator. Newington is represented in the lower house to the extent of half the city of New Brit ain. In order to control the lower house the state machine needs only to control the representatives from the small towns.

however would be one of the four basic systems the others being the New York Central, the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio.
 It Is evident that railroad officials regard as unlikely the prospect that either the New York, New Haven and Hartford, or the Boston and Maine want to be added to a trunk line whose main center of operations is outside of New England. In mak- ing their plans for the four basic eastern lines the New England lines are not even considered as likely to cut a figure one way or the other.
 There are other eircumstanecs that tend to cause let-alone policy by officials of eastern roads outside of New England, So long as the New Haven and Boston and Maine have not cleared the financial breakers 1t is unlikely that other trunk lines will be oyer-zeaous in attempting to acquire them.

PRINCE SEES AMERICAN
 KEY INDU USTRIES

The Prince of Wales returned to the United States from western Canada, was ushered through the Chicago stock yards and through the Ford plant in Detroit, and is en route to dear ol' Lunnon via Toronto and Montreal Having returned to the United States 10 view two key in- dustries," he no doubt added con- siderable practical information 10 his general education.
 The prince was the guest of Louis F. Swift while in Chicago and of Henry and Edscl Ford while in De- troit. Times and conditions certainly change. Before we entered the late war, Mir. Swift's firm was one of the most insistent of those in the United States who wanted President Wilson to take action against the activities of tine British navy in preventing consignments of meat being shipped to Germany. There was big money in supplying Germany with meat in those days and the American pack CTS had no idea to relinquish a good market merely because one of the belligerents opposed. Those uneer- tain days, howeter, and the harsh things that were spoken and written in Chicago about John Bull evidently were entirely overlooked when the prince was a guest there.
 When he was the guest of the Fords the famous and historic peace ship was no it topic for aonversa- toS,

SYNTHETIC SUNLIGHT AND CHILDREN

And now, synthetic sunlight. Imi- tation sunlight is not warranted to be as valuable as genuine sunlight but it is warranted to be better than ordinary sunlight when passing through window glass. So it is learned from the University of Maine, where experiments were made with the cooperation of the German Electric Co.
 The experiments are said to have proved that direct sunlight is far superior to indirect sunlight through glass, and that children who remain indoors, even though there is plenty of sunlight flooding the rooms through the windows are not as healthy as those who see much of the outdoors. This es- pecially is true in the winter time, when there is a tendency to keep children indoors on account of the weather.
 The experiment of producing ul- tra-violet or health giving rays and noting their effects upon chicks, not only has practical scientific value, but confirms the belief of minority of mothers and a majority of medi- cal men who have advocated the keeping of children outdoors as much as possible even in the dead of winter. Of course, this has to be achieved safely with warm clothing and heavy coverings. Not only fresh air, but direct sunlight, has been found Of inestimable benefit.

THE UNWRITTEN LAW
 STILL SURVIVES

After having confessed to killing Charles Blair, who whom she was housekeeper, Mrs. Johanna Tell was found not guilty by jury at Mid- dletown. There was scarcely any doubt as to what the verdict would be, as Mrs Tell in her confession had disclosed that she killed her employ CT in self-defense while he attempted to force his attentions upon her.
 A grand jury last spring had re- fused to indict her, but another grand jury this fall made an indict- ment, which was unsigned. and she was charged with manslaughter.
 The trial appears to have been mere formality. Few people appear to have considered 1t likelihood that Mrs. Tell would ever be made to suffer for an act done in self defense.

THE GERMAN LOAN AN INDEX OF CONFIDENCE

What American bankers think of the stabilizing effect of the so-caled Dawes plan in Europe was indicated when the s11O.OOO,OOO issue of Ger man loan bonds were greatly over scribed in the United States in less than IS minutes. After this impress slve result no one can doubt what the investing public of America thinks of the market value of peace. In England the loan allocated to that country likewise was snapped up quickly.
 Americans would not have touched the loan under conditions that existed upon the European con- tinent a year ago, or under condi- tions that would have made probable Ruhr upheaval. Americans are willing 10 loan money to Ger many for her stabiIization because a condition has been brought about where the debtor is enabled to pay back the money.
 Quick subscription to the loan in America and England proves that the investors of both countries will be pleased to see Germany get on her feet through legitimate enter prise.
 The loan is not the first instance since the armistice of American financial aid to Germany, as private enterprise has been quite active in assisting various important indus tries.
