CONGRESS CLEARS DECKS

issues. 1t was for that reason that the Senate
FER the second time in it, history invoked
rre il it's deliberations. In three years
ample opportunity had been afforded for ex-
harative debate on the question. A filibuster
might have interfered with the passage OF the
tax revision bill in time to put the new blanks
in the hands of tax payers before March Is
when returns are to be made. Unlimited de-
bate would have delayed action on other i'm
portant issues to come before congress. Thus
the issue was forced and now it is settled. The
world court issue is one of the international
questions solved only by theory. 1t makes a
fertile field for prophets. If only fixed events
were to be contemplated some particularly per-
tinent theory could be applied with some de-
gree of assurance of certain results. The
United States has voted for adherence to the
world court with reservations a majority OF
the Senators deemed advisable. The wisdom

PUBLICITY THAT CAN'T BE BOUGHT

Albany has already received more than
100000 worth of publicity from last week S
successful campaign, and still has the 100000
to spend. The spirit of a town of 1900 pop
ulation that can raise nearly $4 per capita
challenges admiration, and Albany has re-
ceived great deal of fine publicity which no
amount of money cuold have bought.-The
Albany Herald
Correct-no amount of money would secure
the editorial mention of an ordinary happen
ing-but when town the size of Albany does
things big enough to attract the attention of
the editors of the Nation, it deserves all the
free publicity that it gets This is a case of
"where you eat your pudding and still have it,
as the paper well says that Albany has al
ready received more than 100000 of public
Ivy from its campaign and still has the $50,
Now spend your money judiciously and watch
the procession.

PROFIT IN DAI les SEEN IN GEORGIA

That prosperity Follows the Cow" provid-
ed that COW is of the dairying classes has long
been proven fact, according to Georgia agrl-
cuturists, but never has the opportunity been
offered as is now presented to the farmers OF
the state to enter the dailying business on such
scales said officials of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture, will permit the ship
ment of their products to the markets OF Geor-
gia, Florida and other neighboring states.
This state, it was pointed out here today, is
sending millions of dollars a year out OF the
state for dairy products because the dairymen
of the state are absolutely unable to meet the
demand.
If the dairymen of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin
and other PARKWAY states can ship their prod
ucts to Georgia at profit; if they can produce
this product at profit where the winters are
long and the necessity for housing is almost
constant, agriculturists here claim, then Geor-
pia daryman with the market at his door and
with good range the year round, should be
able. it was asserted, to produce a profit
double that of the Northern Dairymen.
'Georgia's population is increasing every
wear and the demand for milk and butter is In
creasing correspondence fast" said an Official
of the State Agricultural Department. you
only have to travel through the leading dairy
sections of the country to find what the dairy
COW has meant to these farmers and their tam
lies There is every evidence OF prosperity.

YES. 1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Advertising does pay--even church. That
might have started an argument some years
ago. Now it is freely admitted and accepted.
And to the credit of the intelligence and acu-
men of the worthy men and women who are
active in the work of the church of this coun-
try, it may be interpolated that, more and
more, are they making use of that greatest
mediu moi advertising, the newspaper, in their
prosecution of their labor of love and for their
fellowmen.
The Logan Baptist Church of Philadelphia,
needed pastor. The regular methods of fill
ing such vacancies appeared to be frutless.
An advertisement: Wanted, a Baptist Minis

The committee in charge was most agreeably
astonished at the results obtained. Responses
came from all over the east, the south and
from the middlewest. A number Of big 7?c:.

have never been approached, made answer to

In fact The committee states that this'
method of selecting a pastor has advantages
over the usual way. 1t has operated to afford
a line of many eligible men who would other

Do We Sleep Too Much ?
.1ders
y 4MoooSS

This is the inquiry that started the
investigation by George Washington
University scientists, who conducted
a test recently to determine how far
mental fitness for driving a car was
affected by loss of sleep. Results
were only tentative and further re-
search work will be necessary to ar
rive at conclusive data. However,
some points were demonstrated. One
fact about sleep is that its benefits
are more largely due to soundness or
depth than to length Of time, also
that some people get better rest out
of four hours than many others do
from eight hours. More or less sleep
is a matter that varies with individ-
uals as does the amount of food which
seems to be required, and seems
largely matter of habit IN both
cases. 1t is argued that could new
habits of sleep be formed so that six
instead of eight hours would be the
normal requirements, that human
productivity could be increased one
fourth. We know that Edison, both
by long life and productivity has been
splendid demonstration of short
ened sleep, as he has never allowed
himself more than four hours of this
kind of rest. He holds that food must
also be cut to the minimum to main
tain this habit, and that much fatigue
people generally have is from the tax
they place on their digestive system
il caring for surplus loads of food.
This is somewhat the theory Of the
university investigators that part
Of ones sleep may be sort of intox-
ication or caused by the same condi-
tions in a slight degree that show up
su plainly in the sleep of those in
toxicated by drink, and who always
sleep it OH. Heavy eaters do the
same.

Iowa Eugenics

zens who may he considered unfit TO
marry and rear families. These names
up 10 10000 are to be filed with all
county ks who are instructed TO
refuse marriage licenses to any per-
sons listed thereon. Like state prohi-
biTion laws the border states without
similar restrictions will tend to null

even as a deterrent in time and con-

his object is to bring about a real
understanding OF the scriptures which
have message for every phase OF
life. Fie says there is solution 70:
every problem. q cure for every

Added to its inspirational value, DR.

its romantic character as of surpass-
ing quality. He. delivers one lecture
