AUGUST 1 O LORD, THOU RT MY GOD; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy nam e; for thou ist done wonderful th in g s..............Thou hast been a strength to tl poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm , a shadow from the heat.— Isaiah 25:1, 4. A LAY SERMON “ A boy’s will is the wind’s will, and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” How long those thoughts may be only a boy can tell, and lie never would because of all things sacred those “ long” thoughts are the most unapproachable; those matters the boy keeps in the holy of holies of his heart, the abiding place of other sweet memories or fateful wounds, as the legs grow long and the arms strong, and the world throws open the door that leads to labor. In the palpitating years of the “ long” thoughts the boy lives a century; indeed, before the ’teens be passed his three score of years and ten are done and gone. For in that time he has scaled the moun tains, conquered the obstacles, slain his dragon, nego tiated his pitfalls and thrusting carelessly aside the puny clinging tentacles of stubborn facts of his own world, is king. Many an empire towers to the skies in those queer days when all things are possible; its bricks the .confi dence of a few years; its foundation simple faith, its cop ing stone the glorious riotous imagination which knows none of the sad limits of maturity. The beautiful thing is that when the foggy era en sues, that period when one reluctant foot drags in boy hood and the other taps impatiently at the door of adoles cence, the foundation remains. This he will not perceive until the cloud lifts again, and he finds the bricks crumb led and the coping stone fled to wherever imagination is born. Dreams, it seems, are a poor investment. The “ might have been” is always a thought with a twing. The grip lessens and the old picture passeth, and the man is no longer the boy. Fleetingly the vision springs up like a negative, but always a little more indistinct until with a wistful sigh the man realizes he must bend his back to the burden. Then, if the time is to be sustained, he prays to dream again, and i€ he does so is amazed to find the same old vision forming the slow and shadowy’ background of liis new edifice; the ghost lurking about the old foundation, which foundation was, and is, faith. SOMETHING OVERLOOKED They had just graduated from high school, and stood on the threshold of life. “ The school that graduated Herbert Hoover and Will Irwin is the one for me,” said one. “ The school that graduated Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln is the one I ’ll choose,” said the other. So one went to Stanford, and the other took the knocks of the School of Life. Today one is 1 ving in an obscure town. The other is still taking knocks and in return, is a knocker. Both overlooked the fact that it is the student, not the school, that makes success of men. THE LARGER ASPECT OF THE CELEBRATION The wholehearted cooperation of Longview citizens in preparing for the Pageant of Progress has been a mat ter of comment from newspapers and visitor during the past few weeks. Longview folks have a common bond in the success of their four-day celebration, and then must be no let down in enthusiasm or effort as the cli max approaches. We who are here on the ground, in the midst of the hurry and jam, the rush and confusion of preparation perhaps may lose sight of the larger objects of the cele bration, the city’s first birthday, and the opening of Th< Long-Bell Lumber Company’s mills, that made the city possible. It sometimes takes an outside viewpoint to bring home the magnitude of the wonder city of which we are a part. The Business Chronicle of the Pacific Northwest, a recognized economic and financial weekly of this sec tion of the country, says in part: Big things have been and still are being done in America, but there has never been anything done like Longview. Never before was an entire city ordered. Cities have appeared, and in a hurry; hut never have they come about through that utmost in consideration which takes ac count of future growth, and arranges beforehand the multiplicity of details which make for harmony of inter ests and economy of costs. Who says humanity does not advance, that things do not improve with the ages, that intelligence and will do not gain over stupidity and blind accident? Who says that America is not the possible solution of the world’s most ancient agonies and confusions? The elements that have gone into the making of Longview are symbols and indexes of the New Spirit that is fast coming over America’s constructive forces.

A ship leaves the harbor every forty- five minutes and someone is killed by accident every’ fifty-five minutes.

On a metal track, one of these animals, it has been shown, can draw one and two-thirds times as much as on a good asphalt surface, five times as much as on cobblestone paving and twenty times the load it can pull on an ordinary mud road. For the usual type of farm horse, a cart carrying a weight of 1,500 pounds is considered to be a fair task. While pulling light vehicles and under saddle, records in dicate that horses are equai to great feats of strength and endurance. A twenty-year-old beast hitched to a light cart is known to have traveled a hundred miles in less thar thirteen and a half hours and was in excellent condition at the end of its journey. ♦ * * Well-seasoned wood serves excel lently for radio panels, in the absence of more suitable material, if thor oughly dried. Saving Gas at Home All fuel experts know that a fire several feet below the boiler shell will give much better results than a fire close under the shell. This fact in duced a home owner to try out the idea of the heat intensifier on a gas stove, as shown in the illustration. It consists of a strip of ordinary black stovepipe iron, about 3 in. wide and a couple of inches longer than three times the diameter of the hole in the grate, which will be about 20 in. in most cases. The ends are fastened together with rivets or small stove bolts and several notches are cut in one edge. This ring is placed over the gas-burner holes, with the notched side up, and the cooking vessel is placed on top of the ring. A lighted match held near any one of the notches will light the gas when the oiv '' i 21 1 • O| 1 STOVE PIPE IRON / NOTCHED ' tap is opened. The use of such a ring concentrates the heat under the vessel and consequently reduces the consumption of gas. * * * C[A can of lye dissolved in a bucket of boiling water will clear drain pipe* of grease and other organic matter.
