MILFORD, FRIDAY, JULY II. 1925

NO LIFE with low idea can ever
attain it's full measure of power and
beauty. No person can really live,
whose heart is cold and shriveled.
Love and life are one and the same.
Life grows rich and precious as love
deepens and broadens. The empty
life is always self-centred. Remem-
Der, that selfshness is only a form
of moral suicide. No happiness
comes, only when we want to and
try to make others happy.

A PLAIN TALE FROM
THE HILLS
(NeW York WOrld)


Document Sc, Sixty-eighth con
gresS, comes to hand and tells its
own story:
Tong Huan Yah, IL years old,
was working in the garden of his
home at Hankow, China, while the
crew of the u. S. S. Elcano was Ell
gagged in target practice on range
nearby. Tonk Huan Yah was
struck by bullet and killed.
Thereupon naval court Of in
quiry was convened ito inquire in
to the circumstances surrounding
the death of the young Chinese"
In the opinion of the court the
death was not due to the fault,
negligence or inefficiency OF any
person or persons connected with
the naval service of the United
States" However, since the lad
was unquestionably dead, and
since bullets do not grow in gar
dens, the navy department drew
the not unwarranted assumption
that an American bullet mad killed
a Chinese boy.
Accordingly, Document SO, Sixty
eighth congress, sweeps on tri-
umphantly to this conclusions:
That since this country has at
various times been compensateI by
sums Of $25 600 and the like for
Americans killed in China, and
since We wish to maintain our ira
ditional reputation for generosity,
justice, etc, be it resolved, that
congress is asked ito compensate
the family Of the dead Chinese

Banner" the sum of $500

THE FARMERS LIFE

The FARMERS LIFE
The farmer has an awful life,
1t is too full of care and strife,
With and chickens here and there
He needs his eyes everywhere.
He has to pillow, he has to drill,
He has to sow and sow grain still,
And every time look at him
l think it is an awful sin.
He has to look about the barn
To see that nothing is in harm.
0 many things he has to do.
He never really does get through.
He never does at all stand still.
He goes like water down hill.
He has to work and work so much
And never does any play touch.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
ELBOW GREASE
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Mister Peg Leg, the fairy peddler
man, and Nancy and Nick, the Twins,
came to Mrs. Bunny's house next
and knocked on the back door.
"There's nobody at nome called
Mrs. Bunny's voice. GO away, Red

"It's not Reddy Fox, Mrs. Bunny"
called Peg Leg through the keyhole.

At that the door flew open and

their faces on my roller towel with

for their feet, l might as we'll ask

those little rascals. There's mud
enough in this kitchen to plant corn"
"Then, perhaps, l can sell you
something to keep it clean," said
Mister Peg Leg starting to undo his
pack. "I've got almost everything"
That's fine!" beamed Mrs. Bunny.
"Then suppose l can get a nice big
package of Elbow Grease from you.
They say it's so good for keeping
things clean"

when Mother, asked Nora how she

"That's right" asked Nick. "And

how he cleaned the car the other
day and he said, Soap and water and
lots of Elbow Crease"
81 knew 1 was right" declared
Mrs. Bunny positively. "And if you
have no Elbow Grease, Mister Peg
Leg, there is nothing else l care for
today"
Every we'll, Mrs. Bunny" said the
fairy peddler, tying up his pack
again. IF you have made up your
mind, l suppose can't talk you into
changing it. Good day."
And away went all three of them
| down the little path to the back gate.
But just as they reached it, Mrs.
Bunny called after them, "Will you
please stop at Doctor Snuffles' house
as you go past and ask him to send
me another jar of salve for my
rheumatism. I'm just out"
"Sure!" answered Nick. "We're
going to his house now. Well tell

Let's Cut Out The Secrecy
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations "heard the views" of Sec
retaries Hughes and Hoover on the
German commercial treaty.
Why should the whole Senate not
be equally entitled to those views,
out in the open, where the rest of
us could hear them, too?
The long-distance isolation of the
executive and legislative branches of
government is mitigated only slight
ly by this habit of secret committee
hearings.
On everything, of major impor-
lance, the contact should be public,
in open session, in the sight of
everybody. Even such foreign mat
tiers as must be considered in secret
session, should at least be known to
the whole Senate.
7 And, generally, what the cabinet
officers have to. say should stand
the test of being said publicly, in
the presence of possible congression-
al critics, and what these critics
have to say should meet the same
tests.
