REV FRANK E. WILSON. w*r Chaplain. We hear a lot today about modern civilization being founded on mer ciless selfishness. My own experience tells me such is not true. We think we are hard, but as a matter of fact were are painfully soft. Popular magazines are pouring forth sentimental mush because it is what the public wants. The moving pictures present prolonged appeals to your most watery emotions. The air is filled with speeches consisting of flowery rhetoric which doesn’t attempt to say anything but only to make yon feel good Public sentiment vaporizes over anything that touches its softer sensibilities. One of the scandals of our day is the way juries rendei ver diets in accord with their emotions rather than the dictates of justice I would guarantee that if all the newspapers of Chicago collaltornted in presenting some wholly unworthy cause embroidered with quantities of sob stories the public would forsake its judgment and pour in thousand* of dollars for something which ought never to be done. Our great dangei lies not in a settled spirit of cold indifference, but in unreliable outbursts of emotional insincerity. 'Millions Thrown Away by Wasteful Methods How much water Is wasted by a drip- Ing tap? An answer was provided when New York decided to levy a fine of two dollars for every tap found leaking. In two years 40.000,000 gal lons of water were saved. It seems absurd to worry about the amount of steam wasted when a locomotive blows a whistle. But Doctor Foley of In diana university has calculated that 2,434,028 tons of coal are consumed annually In generating steam to blow United States locomotive whistles, and that if the whistles were moved slight ly forward and adapted to a single high-pitched note, more than 1,000. in > pounds a year could be saved. But this loss is small compared with that involved in throwing Into the dust bin cinders that would still give a lot of heat It is estimated that a third of the cinders thrown away retain from 50 to 70 per cent of their heat tug value.___________ ____ original Chautauqua The first Chautauqua assembly, known as the Sunday School Assem bly, was in session August 4-18, 1874, as the result of a plan formed by Lewis Miller of Akron, Ohio, and Rev. John H. Vincent of New York. The assembly plans widened rapidly in successive years. In 1879 a school for teachers in secular subjects was opened. Probably Chautauqua is best known In connection with the plan of systematic home reading. The plan was proposed and explained in 1878. The first year 7,000 persons were en rolled and from that time readers varying in number from 8,000 to 25,- 000 have joined the circle per sea son. There are now throughout the United States and Canada more than 550 local assemblies modeled after the original Chautauqua Institution. Old Roman Road in England Writer Would Go Limit in State Abbreviations The abbreviation used for Ohio Is “O.” Apparently Oklahoma and Ore gon do not object. Rut there are six states whose names begin with letters which are not the first letters of the names of any of the other states. These states sit : Delaware. Florida. Georgia, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Utah. Why not use D, F, G, L, P and U for the abbreviations in those case«? Also, West Virginia Is the only “West’ state. So why not simply use “W. V.” instead of the usual “W. V«.“? The only reason for abbreviations In the first place Is the desire to save time and space. Then why not save all the time and space possible, or else use the full nume? Why fuss with “Pa.” and “Penn." and “Penna.” when “P.” would fill the bill?—Worcester Tele gram. Mankato is the Minnesota town flint was bought seventy-five years ago by the first tailor in HL Paul for a small barrel of pork and some Salt. This tailor was Parsons King Johnson and bls purchase was made from Ubief Sleepy Eye. The site on which Man kato stands is rich in historical In terest, says the Kansas City Star. In dian mounds have shown that savages dwelt there 500 years ago, burning, glazing and decorating pottery, weav ing cloth and raising corn. Mankato's first regular minister rode all the way from Wabash, Ind., on horseback in 1854 to open his church there. The first Scandinavians, led by Rev. John Tldiand and John Randall, arrived In 1853, and a German colony from St. Charles, Mo., arrived in a covered wagon the same year. In 1855 a Web b colony from Wisconsin swelled the population.

Perhaps you will give as the reason for a larger quantity of peaches being canned tliar any other single fruit, the fact that peaches are lowest in price or that they combine so well with other foods or that they taste so good. Well, you are right in every answer— absolutely so, when you refer to the taste. From Orchard to Can If yon could follow peaches from the orchard to the can, you could easily see why they taste so good You would see only the largest, yellowest and most tender-fibred peac! picked for canning—peaches that will retain thei> form size, flavor, color and aroma. And It must be fruit which has ripened evenly from the surface to the pit tc pass the canner's inspection. You would see these peaches which are picked in the orchards during the day, remain in the orchard during part of the night to coot, so that they will not become bruised in rushing them to the cannery. You would also see a constant sorting of the fruit, from the initial “door test,” which is the canner's most powerful inducement to delivery of high-grade fruit, to the final in spection, where women who fill the *eKregate any blemished or inferior fruit which has escaped the previous sorters. So rigidly are they inspected that from a ton of selected peaches, an average of less than a thousand No. 2% cans are obtained. And any one of these cans of peaches, millions of which are con sumed annually, is the best answer to the question—why is the peach is only a day away Your vacation need not be limited to just one place.
