GOING TO CHURCH
(Anderson Hally Mall.)
(iolnts to church la a habit, and a
business and u pleasure and an edu
cation and a help and a duty and a
blessing Every man ought to lino
something In this Hat that will hit
him If he ha* a family, he can take
ihe whole Hat to himself If he ha*
any Intercat at all In the re*t of the
world, he can take part of It. And if
he doe* not think nhout anybody bui
himself, h<* <an still find plenty of
reason* In the list wITy ho should go
There is no reason why the church
should storm the citadel of a man *
reason and conscience to Ret him t*>
Ko to church, except the desire to do
him Rood. The churches are getting
on all rlßht without his support. They
don’t absolutely need his money. Hut
they want lo do him Rood. That is
what they are here for. They ask him
frankly to come and *ce what he can
Rot out of It, not what they arc Roinß
to ask him to put Into It. And any
man oiißbt to he man enoUßh to ac
cept that Invitation
The trouble Is that most have an
uncomfortable feeling that they will
have to do something, not necessarily
for ihe church, but for themselves.
They know they are not doing right,
and they don’t relish haring the
church tell them so In a way that will
make them want to change.
But more and more they are com
ing to see that the best thing to do
Is to go. No man who goes is liable
to be led astray. The church has a
gospel that fits everybodj, and Is
anxious to preach It. It Is a gospel for
life and death, and every man will do
himself and his family and hts friends
and the rest of the world a service
by going to hear U and by fixing up
his life according to Its teachings.
Take your choice of the reasons why
you ought to do, only be sure that
you go
NEGRO FOR MOSQUITO BAIT
Lieut. Col. William M. slbert. U. S.
A., the builder of the Catun locks. the
Oaton dam, the breakwater at Colon
harbor and the excavation of the chan
nel between the Gatun locka and the
Atlantic ocean, hint written an Intcr
oatliiK article on the Panama canal,
hta flrat contribution on the subject,
for the National Geographic Society
at Washington, I). C. In hla article
Col. Slbert aaya:
A little to the north of the Gatun
locks the American anti French canals
Intersect. Hud the French canal been
completed It would now be out of (late,
tor Its locks would not be of sufficient
size to puss the boats that would now
offer.
"In 1912 Gatun had probably the
greatest Influx of malarial mosquitoes
in Its history. The sanitary depart
ment determined to locate all the
breeding places for mosquitoes near
Gatun, catch mosquitoes at such place |
and, after painting them, turn them
loose and determine from the color of
the mosquitoes caught In Gatun from
what point they came. I went down
there one morning to see how they
were caught and painted. Mosquito
hurs. tied up nt the bottom, were sus
pended from limbs. They had thou
sands of mosquitoes In them ready to
be sprayed with a colored liquid and
the sanitary Inspector was asked how
he caught them. He said, We have
a more scientific way, hut this had
to be done In a hurry. We simply let
the mosquito bar down, as you would
open a bed, left one side of It open i
and put a Jamaica negro In there for I
bait.' As soon us the mosquito bar
was full the halt was removed and
the end tied up. I saw a Jamaica
negro standing there. John, were you :
the halt in that bar?' 1 asked, and he
replied, ’Yes. boss; that Is the easiest
money I ever earned -ten cents an
hour for sitting there and doing noth
ing hut Just inviting the mosquitoes
STEALING CHILDREN
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Whether s-M-ar-old Warren Mo-
Carrli k wa* kidnapped or met death
by accident or design in a matter of
conjecture upon which city councils
ami the police differ. The fact that
the hoy la missing la enough to arouse
a sympathetic Ititercat almost equal
to that following the kidnapping of
Charley Rons In Philadelphia a gen
eration ago. nnd the .stealing of the
Cudahy boy In Omaha by Pat Crowe
more recently.
No crime la more despicable titan
this inhuman piracy which robs a
homo of Its child for purposes of ex
tortion. or other reasons. The KUl
napper ta put down on crime's calen
dar us an arch villain. A Hat of the
children who disappear annually
would make a chapter of tragedy In
the history of any great city. A boy’s
natural en\ Ironment would seem to be
In the country, but all boys can not
live In the country. The city, of neces
ally, becomes their playground, and
unless there are carefully restricted
districts lor pleasure the boy indulges
naturally In a freedom fraught wtta
peril.
Swift and sure punishment for the
kidnaper, as. for example, in the Sha
ron. Pa., case, la a deterrent to the
crime On the other hand, when a
man like Pst Crowe, who received

FARMS
•'Back to the farm," is the good advice of one of the most noted
financiers of the country. Listen what the immortal Grady said about
cotton: "What a royal plant it 1b! The sun that shines upon it is
tempered by the prayers of all people. It Is gold from the insjant it
puts forth Its tiny shoot. Its fiber is current in every bank, and when
loosing its fleeces to the sun, it flonts a sunny banner that glorifies
the field of the humble farmer. That* msn Is marshaled under a flaS
that will compel the allegiance of the world and wring a subsidy from
every' nation on earth."
