Representative ‘A WOMAN IN THE CABINET > The report that President eeleect Harding is likely to appoint A woman to sit in his cabinet, at the head of a newly constituted department of education, will be a shock to that element that always held that woman should stay at homee and bake the bread and mind the children. . But the good politician recognizes women now have at least 15,000,000 votes. Their point of view is not precisely the same as that of men. They have somewhat different ideals. A public man who does not make an effort to conform to these ideals so far as he can, is going to run up against a big handicap. ~ The bulk of the education work in this country is being per formed by women. A woman secretary of education would know the soul of American schools quite as well as any man. Also she could throw light on the reactions of the woman vote to the methods of man made politics. RACING FOR THE OIL SUPPLY . The governments of the world are competing for all possible sources of supply for oil. The power that controls oil will go far toward dominating the world commercially. While England, France, Japan, Holland and Russia have been scouring the world for its future. South America contains great oil resources. Mexico is furnish ing 120,000,000 barrels this year, and should supply double that amount. This country can well afford to make many concessions for favorable terms for development of these supplies. Oil is the ideal fuel, saving dirt and smoke and burning efficient ly. It reduces labor cost to the minimum, and makes the community independent of labor troubles and profiteering in the mines. ~ The Turks are said to be buying about ten thousand tons of American coal each month. Did they get any of yours? No, we don’t hear of any farmers offering to take on winter help in eexchange for their keep. It might be cheaper to pay wages. - Most people who are willing to do eight hours of honest work in eight hours of time will be able to hold their jobs. But the loaf ers and incompetents, like chickens, will have to scratch. ~ It’s a fact though, that some men never fail in an undertaking. They never begin.

A Sermon to Live By By Rev* Elam Franklin Dempsey, D. D. e GOD IN NATURE: A PROSE POEM ’ From my earliest days “theoutward shows of earth and sky” ~have affected me with delightful emotions. There is for me an in _Spiration in every part of nature’s varied round. The noon in thee fullness of its brightness with its splendor-falling on the warming ~and enamored earth; the quietude of evening stealing like a bene .diction o’er the sore and fevered spjrit of mankind; the twilight ~around which tender memories cling and breathe a sweet perfume; “the darkness of the night-time which fills with the resounidng music wf the spheresthe corridors of our responsive souls,—all are full of blessings unto me. “ - But it is morn that I love best; 'tis then there breathes a spir _ip in the air of harmonies divine, then the sweet-voiced orient org “an’s tuneful swell doth flood the gold and purple fretted skies with _creation’s grandest symphony, while the minstrelsy of earth returns ~the greeting in voice of warbling bird and bursting sorng life. Well . may this morning melody make glad the heart of God and earth born ‘man! Well may nature put on her purple robe of majesty and cloth- Ang hill :3?- vale and meadow and woodland in a glory indescribable ~come forth to feel the matchless harmony. ;x;ir“;‘:;Not all may enter into this secret, but to those who can read, natre nature is an open book, wherein wondrous truths are made g:f est. But only to the pure in heart is this boen given. Sin is the scale that shuts out all the glory of this beauty from the sight of man, + First, be pure and then enter by the Gate called Beautiful into _ this communion with God. . - For that this beauty is the presence of a Supreme Being, illus -3“% side. = All the earth and sky is vocal with this knowl “%}ﬁ declared by every sighing zephyr that murmers thro’ the trees; It is thundered by the deep-voiced ocean; It is preached \s§ e mountains heaped with skill divine; and there is not a creat ~ed thing | but adds its voice and joins in a mighty universal chorus, houting : There is a God! ’Mb@%‘gg to us in nature.

Nowadays, by ask ing at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Comffound,” you will get a large bottle 6f this famous old recipe, improved/by the addition of other ingredi§nty, as a small cost. Don’t stay griy?¥ Try it! No one can possibly tell” that you darkened vour hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time, by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, and attrac tive.—(adv.) will break a CLfd, Fever and Grippe quicker than anything we know, preventing pneumonia.— (Adv.) - WPFeb.l6 munity councils will be turned over to C.
