ADDITIONAL FUNDS RECON-
MENDED FOR CANAL

Mai. Gen. Julian l.. Schley, chief
of army engineers, has recommend
ed the expenditure of $1,056.50O on
Maryland waterway projects during
the next fiscal year. House hearings
on the War Department non-mil-
itary appropriation bill disclose.
He said $4,000 should be ex-
pended for new work on the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal. In con-
nection with the project he explain
ed to the committee that "due to the
nature of the banks, more shoaling
than was anticipated is taking place,
with the result that considerable
amount of dredging will be requir-
ed annually until such time as the
banks at critical places have been
reverted and become stabilized"

DIR. NUDGE SPEAKS AT WEST
NOTTINGHAM

DIR. NUDGE SPEAKS AT WEST
NOTTINGHAM
On Sunday morning, May Z, DR..
Lewis S. Nudge, Acting Secretary
of the Presbyterian Board of Edu-
cation, occupied the pulpit of the
West Nottingham Presbyterian
Church as the guest of both the
Church and of the West Nottingham
Academy. DR.. Nudge chose as his
subject "Presbyterianism To-day
and based his remarks on the text,
"Our Lord said to his disciples in
all ages" And Ye are witnesses to
these things. taken from the Twen-
ty-four Chapter of st. Luke, the
Forty-eighth Verse.
DR.. Nudge then proceeded to ex-
plain that Denominationalism pre-
supposes a heritage and that Presby-
terianism is a witness to the realms
of; thought or sovereignty, of gov
eminent, of education, and of SER
vice.
In the realm of thought or sover-
eighty, John Calvin formulated the
Calvinistic doctrine of tI-day, a
sovereign God, sovereign Christ,
sovereign Spirit or Church Tri-
umphant, a sovereign self, capable
of decision, and sovereign Book.
In the realm of government. Pres
byterianism is a witness to the
,vorl- ne Uoodrou UyiIoon IN tho
establishment of the League of Ma
tions, and the promotion of Demo
cracy which itself took beginning
from John Calvin's theory of the
worth of the individual in his work
in freeing the peasants from their
Feudal environment.
In the realm of service, the Pres
byterian Church stands among
the first. Its Board of Missions ex-
cedes in size that of any other de-
nomination. In practical service il
has shown that there can be nc
separated personal or public life, nc
secular or religious discrimination
1t has taught the virtues Of thrift
purity, integrity, and laid the foun.
dation for the ethics of modern
business.
In closing his inspirational ad-
dress, DR.. Nudge made plea thai
just as Presbyterianism has contri
buted these gifts to a needy world
it was for us of the present to live
worthy of the past.

ial courses which are being consid-
cred for the new Cecilton School.
The Board informed this delegation

cupancy in September and that 1t

With inspectors from Jersey City
and New York In our neighborhood,
visiting all dairy farms sending milk
to the Sheffield plant in this town,
the following appears timely:
High above the reeking pavements
of some city mart
Breeds a race of mental giants,
world-wise and smart,
These the birds that seek the farm
steads every spring and fall,
Breathing wise commands end coun-
sells, good advice for all,
Spector-like an evil presence prowls
through barn yard;
Shopping in each nook aud out
house, searching long and
hard;
No doubt but he will find you where
you cringe in fear;
Might as well go out and face him,
though your doom be near;
Hail to thee, thou Barn Inspector!
I1Opc yUu lccltu6 We'll:
Step right up and do your duty!
Gosh! We think your SWELL"
Nov give me your attention please
while l read off the rules:
Just polish up the milking pals, and
simonize the stools.
Revarnish all the stanchions, and
wax the stable floors.
And put self-operating springs on
all the sundry doors.
Clip all the hair from Bossy's sides,
and pedicure her toes;
Put brilliantine upon her tail and
cold cream on her nose.
And If she coughs, or If she don't,
go call a doctor quick.
1t is the germs in farmers milk
make city jewellers sick.
Your milk house is too far away,
your chicken house too nigh.
You'll have to dig another well.
Now don't ask me 'Why?'
Be sure to battle before you milk.
Be sure your clothes are clean.
And always use your Lifebuoy soap,
your Mum and Listerine,
Unless all's done within = week,
we'll stop your selling short,
But do your part, and you will get
your full three cents per
quart.
Oh, once there was a farmer who
did as he was told!
He strove to- please the Board of
Health till very poor and old i;
They buried him beside his barn,
where he had toiled each day.
Inspectors made them dig him UP
and move him far away
1t is vain to gnash your teeth, or
tear your hair and curse;
Unless you do as you are bid, you'll
only make things worse.
Though you don't think you've left
thing he can find fault
about,
The Barn Inspectors coming and
you'll be Shutout.

Desserts That Are
Different

Build up your menu to an inter-
esting climax with a new and de-
icious dessert!
Desserts really play an important
part in the menu, and in nutrition,
too.
Sweets, provided in proper
amounts and in the proper place in
the diet, are just as necessary to
good nutrition as milk, meat, fruits,
vegetables and cereals.
Plan the dessert to fit the menu-a
light sweet for the close of hearty
dinner, and richer, heavier des-
sert to wind up the meal that is
fairly simple. Consider the weather,
too, and when it's hot and humid,
serve sweets that are temptingly
dainty. When the temperature drops
and appetites perk up accordingly,
desserts may be sweeter, richer and
more substantial.
You'll find in this collection of
tested recipes from my own kitchen
q dessert for almost any occasion.

II think he enjoyed it quite as
much as any other part of his ca

went into it with the wish to amass
a modest competence. Just before
Taft left the White House, Ed
ward Box asked him to deliver
some lectures at Hill school for
which Box would pay fee. Taft,
with some feeling, turned to his
wife and said: You see, I told
you there would be opportunities
