A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY
SlouthfuIness casteth into deep sleep,
and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. He
that keepeth the commandment keepeth his
own soul, but he that despiseth his pays
shall die. Love not sleep lest thou come

be satisfied with bread, The thoughts of
the dilgent tend to Righteousness; but of
every one that is hasty, only to want. The
getting Of treasures by a lying tongue is
PANTY tossed to and fro of them that
seek death. He that loveth pleasure shall
be a poor man. Whose stoppeth his ears
at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry
himself but shall not be hedrd-ProperbS

1--WE measures dealing with proposed
universal mobilization in the United
States in time of war now before
congress. two of them being in the nature
OF amendments to the constitution and
three, additions to our statutory laws One
of the latter is the measure introduced in
the senate by Senator Capper and sponsored
by the American Legion; and in the house
G. Johnson, of South Dakota: 'In case of
war, or when the President shall judge the
same to be imminent" says the bill, "he is
authorized and it shall be his duty when in
his opinion such emergency requires ito
determine. proclaim, and conscript the ma
terial resources, industrial organizations and
necessary to the successful termination of
such emergency, and such control shall be
exercised by him through agencies then ex-
listing or which he may create for such pur-
pose
The bill introduced by John J. McSwain,
of South Carolina, provides for a fact-finding
commission composed of the secretary of
war, secretary of the navy, secretary of
commerce, two members of the house, two
OF the senate, and three other persons not
holding official or governmental pc ions
This commission is to make its first report
November, 1924. The bill sets out that
true preparedness demands our calm and
careful adoption in advance of another war,
nationwide policy of service for all citi-
zens to the end that while youn. men are
laying down for their country the comforts
and joys of home and family, their health
their strength and time, their blood, bodies,
and life itself, others not required to make
these greater sacrifices may be required to
lay down eQuitably and fairly some of their
material resources and wealth"
The proposals for constitutional amend
ments are from John NJ. Evans of Montana
and johnson, of South Dakota, and are in
effect identical. McSwain, of South Caro-
lima, has introduced another bill aenlarging
the powers of war industries, trade, food,
fuel and labor boards, which almost, if not
quite, covers the ground and apr, the prn-
ciple Of universal mobilization. AS to the
necessity for constitutional amendment
there Is a divergence of opinion in congress.
No strong opposition to the application of
the principle involved is as yet apparent.
The main argument advanced in opposition
is that mobilization would upset industrial
organizations.
The appeal this legislation makes to

SANDER
BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR


What has gone beforc.-Miriam Fol
we'll, a young business woman, has an
episode in her life, which although in
nocent, has caused scandal. She has al
most forgotten it when a year later she
becomes engaged to Anthony Breen,
and then out of the past comes a
woman who knows all about the Incl
dent, and proceeds to make trouble.
Anthony believes the worst, but offers
to marry her anyway. Miriam, with
her faith in men shattered, refuses his
"magnanimity'' and accepts an offer
from her firm to send her to Europe.
She succeeds in avoiding Anthony until
the moment of sailing, and then on
board the steamer meets Warren
Holmes, the man who is responsible for
everything. She has a bitter scene with
him, but afterward in spite of herself
she sees the fineness of the man and
friendship develops between them. She
and Warren Holmes are together the
day the boat docks, and to Miriams
amazement, Anthony is on the wharf to
meet her.-NOw go on with the story.

in the same period. Another place whose
inhabitants are accustomed to lightning
flashes and rolling thunder is Santa Fe, N.
NJ, where 1856 storms occurred in twenty
years.
For the year as a whole, thunderstorms
have been found to be most abundant in the
lower Mississippi valley and along the east
ern gulf coast, averaging more than fifty a
year in those regions. Next to that section
they are most prevalent in New Mexico. In
the eastern half Of the country the num-

In the twenty-year period, Charleston, S.

BACK-TO-FARM

Within a few years, the tide of population
now flowing toward the cities will turn and
there will be another rush Of settlers onto
unusued land, Thomas D. Rice, of the
United States bureau of soils, has predicted.
Urging the necessity of maps showing the
character of soil to guide the future farm
ers in selecting farm sites, he Declares
This next invasion of settlers will prob
ably stand in more need of assistance in
selecting land and will be more willing to
receive such assistance than any which has
preceded. 1t will be composed not so large
ly of experienced farmers moving a short
distance onto good land, but of men of all
sorts, many of them from cities to- take up
land in sections where they know little of
the soils and agricultural conditions 1t is
reasonable to suppose, therefore, that a
greater number of these will require assist
ance in selecting their land and that the
soil survey and other branches of the agri-
cultural departments will be called on for
advice. Science Service

Members of Seth
Infantry Brigade to
Enjoy Excursion to
Lake Champlain. VT.

Tentative arrangements have been
made for excursions to be taken on
Lake Champlain by members of the
seth Infantry Brigade while in camp
at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, ac-
cording to the announcement made
Wednesday by Adjutant General
James w. Hanson.
There are two trips that are made
regularly by the steamers of the
Champlain Transportation Company.
On one of these the boat leaves
burlington at SIS in the morning,
going across the lake to Plattsburg,
Essex and other points to Fort Fred
eric, which is very interesting fort
located close to old Fort Ticonderoga,
one of the oldest and most historical
military posts in the United States,
which was captur d from the Brit
fsh by Colonel Ethen Allen in the
early days of the Revolutionary var.
The boat reaches Fort Frederic at
H. A. NJ. and leaves on the return
trip at 2.20 P. NJ, arriving back at
Burlington at S. A special rate has
been secured on this boat for the
round trip Of 60 cents per person.
The capacity of the boat is about
500.
Another steamer operated by the
Champlain Transportation Company
leaves Burlington at 100 and goes
through the northern part of the
lake. through Alburg passage and
back. arriving at Burlington at Z p.
NJ. The fare for this trip is only rs
cents. This boat also has a carrying
capacity of about 500.
These two trips offer an opportun-
ity to members of the seth Infantry
Brigade to see the delights and Won
ders of the Lake Champlain coun-
try and visit several interesting and
historical localities. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the capacity of these
steamers is only 500 as it is believed
that practically all will want to take
advantage of this offer of a steamer
ride on this beautiful lake.
This Is only one Of the many i'm
teresting features connected with the
annual encampment of the Brigade
at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, this
year.
