The Minister Never Fails Yoa
Every officer of the Government with a war
message to deliver appealed to the ministers first
of all.
But 80% of the ministers receive less income
than government economists figure as a minimum
for the support of an average family.
When hospitals need money they enlist the
support of the ministers—and receive it
But when sickness visits the minister or the
members of his family they must be treated in a
charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer’s.
S out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic.

READ BOOKS HELD FAST TO THOSE FISH
Indianapolis Man Waa Taking No
Chaneca of Losing the Prizes
He Had Secured.
There are five times as many peo­
ple In England reading books as there
were before the war, according to Str
Ernest Williams, one of the foremost
publishers of London. He says war
has taught the people there the value
of books, and shown them the Joy of
reading. When air raids were numer­
ous and all social activities stopped,
there still remained the Inner room,
the light and books. There was a
quick demand developed for light
reading, but it has changed and grown
so that now the best books are most
in demand. When air raids were ended
and lights and social activities were
used again, the habit of reading was
continued and has grown rapidly the
past year.
There Is an insistent demand, this
publisher says, for books that deal
with real life. It Is bls belief that
out of the experiences of war has
been born a deeper appreciation of life
and understanding of how tremendous­
ly worth living it is. On this new con­
sciousness he bases the demand for
books that deal sincerely with prob­
lems of life.—Ohio State Journal.
Tom Genolln, of the railway mall
service, tells a thrilling story of bow
once upon a time he wus tempted and
tell; how In the early hours of morn­
ing he slipped away to a “posted'
stream and drew from thence live of
the most beautiful bass ever seen.
The climax of his story reads thus:
"The glorious day was peeping and
creeping through the silent trees
when I gathered up my bunch of
beauties and started homeward. 1
had not gone far when I laid them In
a clump of grass while I filled my
pipe. When I started to pick them
up again io and behold they were
gone. A slight stir under a nearby-
bush brought visions of some prow­
ling thief and I threw myself prone
upon the bush and clutched for the
place where the fish might be. That
is when I nwoke and gathered myself
up from the bedroom floor where I
lay clutching a Jangling alarm clock."
Mr. Genolln thus ends the story:

"The tragic and unbelievable part
of my story is yet to be told. The
day after the incident related I went
to the pool concerning which I had
dreamed and there I fished precisely

caught them in my dream and, lastly.
I returned home with them, but not
once did I lay them down in a clump

How the Female Population of Helgo­
land Upset Calculations of
Danish Admiral.
Helgoland, the navnl wall flower
during the World war, had its fate
decided, upon one memorable occasion,
by the women of the Island, according
to a bulletin of the National Geograph­
ic society. About the time William
Fenn was settling Pennsylvania a
Danish admiral captured the island's
fishermen one night while they were
placing their nets. He threatened
to hold them as hostages until the
Island surrendered
to Denmark.
Wives, mothers ami sisters arose and
forced the Danish garrison to re­
linquish any claim upon Helgoland.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries Helgoland was a center of
the North sen herring fisheries. Then
herring veered back to Scotland's i
coast and the Islanders handed down
a tale of the impiety by which they
forfeited the boon, Until a few years
ago horses were unknown to the Is-
land. One story has It that when an
old woman saw an Englishman ride
up the hills she dropped dead from
the shock of what she believed was
a supernatural creature.
Humidity.
Humidity Is the moisture or aqueous
vnpor In the atmosphere. The vapor
Is really an invisible gas. When this
vapor becomes visible It Is called dew,
fog, mist, haze, clouds, rain, snow, hail,
etc., according to the size of the drops
of water or the method by which the |
vapor condenses. A given space at a
given temperature can contain only a
definite amount of moisture. When a
given space contains all of the mois­
ture It is capable of holding it*ls said
to he saturated. The percentage of
moisture In the air to what It would
hold If saturated Is called the relative ;
humidity. When the air Is saturated :
with moisture the humidity would lie |
100 per cent, and If half saturated 50
per cent, three-quarter saturated 75 |
per cent. Th'e Increased humidity has i
much to do with the effect of the fem- |
perature on the Individual, which is !
the reason the subject is so commonly
discussed during hot periods.
When Douglas Fairbanks was
_. a
little boy, five years old. he lived In
Denver, and he was always sent to bed
much earlier than he wnnted to go.
Opposite his bedroom was a tailor
shop where the lights burned brightly
a long time after Douglas went to
sleep. He used to lie and watch the
Industrious tailor, and one day he sur­
prised his father by saying that he
knew what he wanted to do when he
»raw np; he would be a tailor.
“Why?" said hie father.
“Because," said Douglas. “I could

night If 1 pleased."

BECAUSE
Of the automatically lockingdifferential.
This differential makes the two wheels work together, one cannot spin,
when the other sticks.
Nash rear driven trucks are equipped with electric lights and starters,
thus conserving fuel.
You can shut off the motor when you leave the truck standing, and work
night or day. It’s an economical machine.
Added to the fact that Nash trucks are amply powered to pull themselves
out of tight places, they have the additional advantage that they
seldom spin. Spinning, as everyone knows, is a great destroyer of
tiies. because it subjects them to unusually severe strains.

American audiences are charged
with being unresponsive and apathet-
Ic, particularly in patriotic outdoor
demonstrations.
Americans are not
incapable of making loud, loyal noises,
and not averse thereto. But rarely is
a parade staged in this city that does
not move throughout a large part of
its course between silent lines of spec­
tators.
The result Is sometimes so
depressing as largely to neutralize the
desired effect of the parade.
The will to cheer doubtless arises
all along the line, but there Is no short
and easily exploded yell known to us.
‘‘Hurrah,” Is the traditional American
word for cheer, but no man will ven­
ture its use In public, unless In the
wake of a cheer leader who prefaces
It with a "hip, hip, hip!" Even then
the usual response testifies that this
method of cheering is getting rusty,
There is no lack o; cheering on an
American football field, nor at any
kind of a demonstration on a college
campus. Tlie reason for this Is that
good, expressive, explosive yells have I
been devised for outdoor use. And
because they do explode, and because
they stand for something, the Ameri­
can public likes to use them. They
also like to follow a good yell leader.
America needs a national yell. The
man who enn coin one will do the
country a great service.—Minneapolis I

AFRIT, 15,
A giant knurl tree has been logged
by the Queensland forest service and
the timber sold for $1.000. It was
known as Beil's tree and yielded 17.-
000 superficial feet of timber in five
huge logs, and the logging costs
amounted to $500. The net stumpage
came to twelve feet 6 Inches per 100
super feet. Had the tree been smaller
a higher prize would have been real­
ized, as few saw-millers cared to han­
dle It. This giant of the forest was
offered to a timber-getter for $30 on
the stump, being at the rate of less
than 20 cents per super feet twelve
years ago.

This fact, with the words of the

Charles. When he reproduced the song
at home, this Is what be Insisted was
