worked from the standpoint it pre-
sents, have been healed physically,
financially, morally, and have found
their homes becoming more harmo-

Are we satisfied with anything
which is imperfect in our activities,
in our characters, in our experiences?
If we are not, then it is comforting
to realize that each one, if he desires,
may improve that which is lacking in
right results. Some need to be healed
of sickness, some are experiencing
limitation along different lines, some
are lonely, and some would like to
know how to be and to do good. Any
nharmonious condition can be i'm
proved or healed by insisting upon
perfection as the goal, and by per-
sisting in efforts to reach that goal.
After the mosaic makers careful
and painstaking study of his model,
he gave his attention only to the
materials which had been placed
upon his work table, and which he
knew were sufficient to reproduce the
beautiful picture. If he had looked
out of the window at the broken
glass and stones in the dirty street,
and if he had thought of making
mosaic with them, he might have
been discouraged at the outset. But

materials for his work. &,
If we have perfection for our
model, and if we are carefully and
prayerfully depending upon our per-
feet Father in heaven for guidance,
then we, too, are working only with
correct materials and shall gain the
desired results. Our Father has pro-
vided an abundance of right ideas
with which we may work toward
perfection, and these ideas include
kindness, joy, consideration, pa
tience, wisdom, and love. We need
not allow our attention to be divert
ed to false beliefs, such as fear,
hurry, irritation, impotence, apathy,
idleness, any more than the mosaic
maker allowed his gaze to wander to
the common glass and stones in the
street.
Nor can we forget the very tiny,
iometimes hair-like pieces of glass
which were fitted into the marble.

DUAL HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
WILL BE DELAYED

Actual construction work on the
proposed dual highway down the
Eastern Shore of Maryland from
Elkton to Ocean City will be delayed
4ntil 1897 at least, it has been learn
ed from the Maryland State Roads
Commission.
The route of the proposed dual
road would extend into every county
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
except Somerset. From Cecil Coun-
ty (Elkton) the dual road would zig
gag TO make use of three existing
bridges, and then drop like a plumb
line bob down the Peninsula to the
outskirts of Easton, according to
tentative plans of the State Roads
Commission.
From Easton the dual boulevard
would cross the new Choptank River
bridge in drawing a straight line to
Cambridge The route then would
extend southwark over the Nanticoke
River bridge at Vienna, then to Sails
bury, from which the highway will
head in a straight line to Ocean City.
Tentative plans disclose that the
dual highway will pass north of the
Berlin Cross Roads before intersect-
ing the present Ocean City road.

HOG CHOLERA tn sTATE-sUM.
MARY OF OUTBREAKS !.

Hog cholera was reported on only
48 premises in the State of Maryland
during the first six months of 1885.
This is the smallest number of out
breaks, since records have been kept,
in the past IA years. Fifteen of the
outbreaks occurred on farms where
hogs are bred and raised, and 33 oc-
cured under backyard conditions, !.
e. where hogs are kept in pens or
small dry lots.
Seventeen of the % counties re-
ported outbreaks, with Prince
Georges having 8; Baltimore, 6;
Charles, 5; Kent, 4; Dorchester and
Howard, each; Caroline, Carroll,
Montgomery, Queen Anne's, st.
Mary's, Washington and Wicomico,
2 each, and Anne Arundel, Cecil,
Hartford and Talbot had 1 each.
Cholera-infected pork scraps in the
kitchen refuse were responsible for
10 outbreaks; the same substance in
garbage caused Is others. Purchase
of new stock that had been exposed
to cholera and developed the infec-
ton within few days at their new
homes, caused S outbreaks. Sick
hogs permitted to stray on to neigh
boring premises were the cause of 8
more. On two farms, meat scraps
purchased for the dogs, were discov-
cred by some of the hogs on the
place. Two outbreaks were started
by the use of infected trucks in NOV
ing hogs, and in two cases, insuffici-
ent information could be obtained to
determine the source of infection.
In the 4S outbreaks reported, 500
hogs were involved, 22S were sick,
and 438 were dead at the time the
outbreaks were investigated. OF the
500 hogs, 502, or approximately
$50, were in garbage feeding plants.

National Bank Notes

Changes in our money on the scale
of about $SOO,OOO,OOO are now going on
through the retirement of national
bank notes. This is reflected in increas'
ing deposits in the Treasury of lawful
money to replace bonds held against
outstanding notes which will require
some time for withdrawal from circula-
ton.
The change in the currency will re-
quire a considerable shift of bank funds
in many cases, but it is doubtful If so
large a volume Of currency has ever
been retired and replaced in any coun
try with so little disturbance.

DISREPUTABLE STARTLING EN-
ENVY OF JAP BEETLES

The aggressive European startling
may be an undesirable alien because
it befouls buildings and parked auto
mobiles, but it is a first-class fighter
against the destructive Japanese
beetle, according to the Biological
Survey, United States Department of
Agriculture.
Food-habit experts of the Bureau
have found the startling one of the
most effective of the bird enemies of
this pest of early ripening fruit, corn,
and truck crops. In one locality IA
out of 23 starlings collected had fed
on Japanese beetles. In some in
stances nearly all the birds food was
from this source. In certain limited
localities starlings are known to have
reduced the population of grubs of
the beetle from 100 per square foot
to or 6.
The startling, however, says the
Biological Survey, is only one of II
bird species in whose stomachs Jap
anese beetles are found. The other
birds are the ring-necked pheasant,
bobwhite, eastern kingbird, crested
fiycatcher, common crow, catbird,
brown thrasher, robin, wood thrush,
English sparrow, meadow lark, red
winged blackbird, purple grackle,
cardinal, vesper sparrow, and song
sparrow.

''LOVE APPLE" RANKS FIRST AS
VEGETABLE CANNING CROP

Once called the "love apple" and
plant, the tomato now ranks first in
the United States as a vegetable can
ming crop. AS vegetable crop it is
led only by potatoes and sweetpo-
tatoes.
When introduced into the United
States from the American tropics
about 1900, the tomato was thought
to be poisonous because it is related
to the nightshade plant. Other non
poisonous members of the nightshade
family are the eggplant, potato, and
peppers.
About the middle of the last CEN
fury canned tomatoes became an ar
ticle of trade. The value of the an
nual crop is now estimated at more
than $5O,00O,O0O, of which approx
mately $2O,O00,000 is spent for to-
matoes by Gamers and manufacture
ers. Besides being canned, tomatoes
are manufactured into soups, purees,
catsups, and tomato juice. From
100000 to 1,25O,000 tons are
grown annually for commercial pur-
poses.
The industry is widely scattered
over the United States, but Maryland,
New Jersey, Virginia, Indiana, and
California produce a large part of
the crop for Gamers and manufac-
turers.
The tomato, like the potato, is the
poor mans friend. 1t is not difficult
to grow, it is not expensive, and can
be served the year around, either
fresh or canned The ornamental
Glove apple" has become a utility
vegetable, equally at home in soup,
a stew, salad, in a dressing, or as
that homegrown" delicacy, tomato
preserves.

PAINTING PICTURES
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

We mix the colors in our lives,
And paint the pictures too,
In every word and action,
All we say and do.
Pleasant memories, greatest treasure,
Worth more than fame or gold;
We paint the pictures every day;
How soon life's tale is told.
Painting pictures, pictures
The sunrise and the CLEAN;
Shady groves and bowers,
And gentle flowing stream.
Painting pictures, painting
The sunset in the west.
When the last one has been finished,
May it be our very best.

OUR STAY
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Our stay is only little while,
And then we go away.
We can make the world better
place,
The little time we stay.
Many things that we can do;
Kind words we all can say,
And tighten heavy burdens
All along life's weary way.
Faith that will lead us onward,
Where fountains of gladness flow
And all are refreshed in spirit,
The goodness of God to know.
Sweet charm of life and living;
Doing our very best;
Making the old world better;
Sweet peace and happy rest.

Children even at tender age use
the telephone, operate the radio and
do many other things in this period
of scientific miracles that are accepted
as matter-of- fact events in their daily
lives. The happy smile upon the "pig-
tailed youngsters face" (shown above)
inspired Robertson T. Barrett to write
the following verses, which he calls
"The Miracle of Science:
They've spun their web of copper
wires across the continent;
Ger mile on mile of open sea the voice
of man they've sent;
They've done all this, these scientists
and fixed it (may add?)
So that little kid like this can visit
with her Dad,
They've geared a nations business to
mans wire-carried speech;
They've tuned the tempo of its thought
to waves with worldwide reach;
They've conquered time and distance;
they've annihilated space
And put happy smile upon this pig
tailed youngsters face.
All honor to the miracle the mind of
man has wrought!
All honor to the brain and hand which
fashion wings for thought!
All honor! But what miracle can
Science work today,
Like this kids "Hello, Daddy!-
when her Daddy's far away?

members Of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System. In less than two years
1t has grown to be the largest mort
gage reserve institution In the world,
with over $3,250. .000, 900 of resources.
The bank system was established in
1882, in order to protect home owners
against a repetition Of the dangers
which they faced a few years ago in
the scarcity and high cost of mortgage
credit to meet home construction and
refinancing needs. The Home Loan
Bank System is not an emergency
institution. It does not make loans
direct to home owners, for relief or
any other purpose. 1t simply places
an additional large volume OF credit
at the disposal of the private home
lending institutions, so that they NAV
make larger number Of mortgage
loans TO home owners on reasonable
terms, and also meet the cash REQUIRE
n1ents Of their investors more readily.

Four Agencies Under Board.
Before I go into that, however, let
me tell you what has already been
done through the four different
agencies administered by the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board. It Is
mainly through those same agencies
that this new act will serve the pub
lie. The simplest way to make clear
the separate purposes Of these four
institutions is to show why each of
them was created.
First Of all is the Federal Home
Loan Bank System, which Is a perms-
ment credit reserve structure for the
use OF the private me-financing in
stitutions. It permits them to expand
their lending power by the use of

recognized that 1t Is our duty to see
that your Government Is not imposed

yond our power to extend aid.
Fortress Of Civilization.
Considering the tremendous army
of home owners and small savers
whose welfare depends to such an
extent upon the soundness Of Amer
ican home finance. 1t is easy to see
why the National Government is
taking such an active part In helping
to put home ownership on stronger
foundation. The family home Is. after
all. the very fortress of our modern
civilization. When the security Of
that home Ia weakened. the Nation
itself Is undermined by bringing fear
and loss and despair upon its people.

all those things you have built a
strong bulwark against exploitation.
discouragement and depression, and
given new incentive to the spirit Of
personal thrift and independence
which is one of the great heritages Of
the American people.
1t was logical and necessary that
the Government should throw Its own
resources behind the urban home
owners and the thrifty wage earners
whose small savings are loaned out
on home mortgages. In less than
three years five different major acts
have been passed by Congress for the
purpose Of giving greater stability to
home finance. and more security to
