(Member of the Illinois State Highway Commission.) The question of road improvement is one of constantly increasing importance. It is becoming a bigger question every day, and hence requires a constantly broader treatment. The present law under which we have been operating for more than three years is working admirably in some instances and failing to meet the requirements in others. Under this law there has been laid out a 16,000-mile system of state aid roads out of a total of 93,000 miles of country highways in the state, this system to be improved at the joint expense of the state and the respective counties. We have been working upon the improvement of this 16,000-mile system since July 1, 1914, the day when the first contract was awarded; and during this time over 400 miles have been improved. The location of the improvement in each county has been determined by the county boards. In some instances the county boards have pursued the wise course of placing the improvement in each consecutive year upon the most important and most heavily traveled road in the county. In other instances boards have started with the improvement in three or four directions from the center of the county population. In a majority of cases, however, the money has been scattered, and the improvement placed upon several widely separated ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` MORNING Grand Chain delegates.

UNITY NEEDED TO HOLD TRADE AFTER THE WAR Labor Must Join In Effort to Meet New Competitive Spirit In Europe. "Employers and workers must unite to meet the conditions that the restoration of peace in Europe will bring," says Eugene H. Outerbridge, president of the New York Chamber of Commerce. "I think there is no single element in industry before this country today of such vast importance as the matter of bringing these two constituents into mutual confidence and understanding in a real spirit of co-operation. "In the world conditions now prevailing the peoples of the belligerent nations have, under the stress of a compelling necessity, developed a degree of co-operation and efficiency in production of which they never before knew themselves capable and which has never been approached anywhere else in the world. "The war has produced many unprecedented conditions. This is only one of them. After it is over there will be many we shall have to meet and many changes to which we shall have to adapt ourselves. Some cannot be foretoid or foreseen, but it appears to me inevitable that the consciousness of the efficiency and productive power that has been developed in the European peoples will lead them not to turn to previous methods or lives of indulence and ease, but that they will turn their newly developed powers to production in peaceful pursuits and that we then shall have to meet On to Cairo, in June To the officers, and members of the Mr. Olive B. Y. P. U. Convention of Southern Illinois. Greetings:— Just one month from the time this article was written until the Mr. Olive B. Y. P. U. will be called on in another annual session with the Mt. Moriah Union, Cairo. We ask that every Union represent by delegate or letter as we are striving to make this the year. We are sure of $100, this year if you will only do your duty. Remember the Banner that will be given away to the one representing with the largest amount mount of money. Mrs. L. B Duke, president of the Metropolis Union, says, 'th y will still hold the Banner, and will continue until they get tired and give it up.' We ask that the other larger Unions see about her report and get it once. The Union will couwene Thursday before the 4th Lord's day in June. Let us surpass the meeting in Carbondale, Spiritually, numerically and financially. Come prepared to take an active part in the meeting Iola M Urquhart, Cer. Secy., Metropolis, Ill. Please allow space in your paper to say a few words about the district. I have a good number of these churches and find some of them in very good condition. Shiloh Baptist, Mt. Vernon, of which the Rev. John Bruen, is pastor. This church is doing nicely. I also visited the 2nd Baptist church, Centralia, and they have no pastor. They have had some trouble there but I gave them my best advice. I was with the Sincere Baptist church, Bay Bottom, on the 3rd Sunday in May and baptized 5 candidates and collection was $12.50. On the 4th Sunday I was at the 1st Baptist church, of Metiopolis and preached two sermons. We had a good old time meeting. This church has no regular pastor but Rev. Rowlett, is acting protem until they make which I urged them to do at once. I left Monday for Joppa. I will be in Cairo, Sunday. Now dear brethren, I am trying to do my whole duty as a Field Missionary, with the Lord as my helper I will press the battle to the gate. I ask your prayers and financial assistance: J. H. Hilly, Missionary Mt. Olive Association P. O. Address, Colp, Ill Metropolis, Ill., May 28, 1917 Editor of Gazette: We wish to say to the many readers of the paper that we are no longer State Missionary of the Southern half of the State of Illinois. The General Missionary State Association while in session at Carbondale. Ill., May 1917, saw fit to elect us chairman of the Mission Board. Elder J. D. Davis, of Corp. Ill., as corresponding sec etary. This Board consists of 25 members or more. We wish to say in this connection the Board has started out in this great task with not one cent to buy a postal card but our knowledge of the Baptist in Southern Illinois., and through out the state have proven themselves earnest friends to the cause of the Master. It is to this class that the Board is looking to (to stand by the stuff) Our method for starting a treasure is on this wise; it shall be known as the "Golden Fund." The late Wm Bolden, was a spienoid churchman in the of the St. Paul Baptist church, Duquefa. Not long ago we came across an envelope that we used in collecting funds. We found a dime in one of them. This envelope contained the name of Wm. Bolden, pastor and church. This dime starts the treasure and is to be designated as the the "Bolden Fund." It may not be out of place to speak of widow Bolden, who is a splendid church woman, who also lives in Duquoin. With the small sum of ten cents we start our treasure. Persons thus far having subscribed to the Fund are as follows: Elder Thos, Morris, ..... Metropolis, $1.00 Sist, Mollie Claybrooke, ..... 10c, Elder J. H. Hilley, ..... 10c, Missionary 10c Sist, Bessie Cork ..... 10c Mr, Geo B. McCraary, ..... 10c Bro Chas, Scott, ..... 10c Sist, Love Phillips ..... 10c Thus you see we are starting Thus you see we are starting our treasure. May the Lord lay the important work of Missions upon the heart of the brethren and sisters. Sister Bessie Cork, of Metropolis, will organize a SunLeam Society for the benefit of the Fund. It is hoped that all of the sisters of the different churches will fall in line. Rev. J. D. Davis, of Colp, will notify all the members of the Mission Board as soon as possible. The association was graced with the presence of three very distinguished persons in the persons Dr. Edw. P. Jones, of Vickersburg. Miss., Pres. of the National Baptist Convention, (unit cororated), Dr. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., a man mighty in things done. Mrs. Georgia Faulkner DeBaptist Ashburn, president of the Women's National Convention. Dr. Prince, of Chicago, and a host of other prominent ministers were present. Respectfully, C. C. Phillips. Chairman Mission Board, Golconda. Illinois Elder J. D Davis, Cor. Sec. Colps, Illinois.

Only One Applicant Out of Eleven Is Accepted by Medical Examiners of the Navy—Physical Exercises Which Will Overcome the Defects In the Average American Youth. WHATEVER part an individual may take in the nation's defense now since war has come whether it Kitchener many long months of training to get his volunteers in shape to stand the rigors of camp life, much less the strain of actual fighting. Conditions Here Lamentable. "The physical condition of the average person in America is lamentable. The United States has to examine 44,000 men in order to get 4,000 for the navy. Only one out of eleven is able to pass the test. Fully 75 per cent of the men who attempt to enter the army fail to pass the test. We are a nation of physical weaklings as measured by any virile test. "The exercises should be taken least daily, though twice each day would be preferable. Most persons find it convenient to take their exercises just after arising in the morning or just before retiring. In either case it should be accompanied with a brief sponge bath. Then a coat towel should be used and the boo given a brisk rub from head to foot. The temperature of the water should be modified to suit the comfort of the individual. "The five mile walk in the open will be found invigorating. This, it is destined to be enjoyed by you." be purely military, vocational or administrative, there is one fundamental common to all. That is the individual must be in good sound physical condition," says George J. Fisher, secretary of the physical department of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian association. "About this there is no question. Each individual, no matter what his assigned task, must be able to endure hardship, stand physical strain and be able to work hard without the normal amount of sleep and rest. Physical condition is the most fundamental requirement of preparedness. "The average person—particularly the adult—is out of condition. His first need is to become physically fit. This was the great problem in England—to harden the citizenry. It took ENTIRELY TOO FAMILIAR. The Man Intended to Be Polite, but He Courted Disaster. It was considered surprising that the wife of the man who was putting up the new palace should have asked for a new foreman. But she did, and it was no more than the duty of the architects to obey. So a new superintendent reported the next morning. One of the architects had the courage to ask the august lady what had happened, since the former superintendent of the job, which was easily the most important the firm had, was known to be polite and courteous always. It seemed, according to the lady, that he had been "familiar." "Familiar!" repeated his employer in frankly expressed astonishment. There was no further explanation offered, so it was to the offending supersintendent that his employer turned. "All I can think of," the superintendent said, "is the fact that I asked how the children were. Word came down one morning that Mrs. X. could not see me because the children were ill. When she did appear the next day all I said was I hoped the children were better. I guess from the way she froze up it must have been that." And later investigation showed that the lese majesty had consisted in just that inquiry after the children.—New York Sun. Where They Parted Meyerbeer and Rossini, in spite of all their rivalries, were the warmest of friends. Rossini once said, "Meyerbeer and I can never agree." When some one in surprise asked why he replied, "Meyerbeer likes sauerkraut better than he does macaron." Kitchener many long months of training to get his volunteers in shape to stand the rigors of camp life, much less the strain of actual fighting. Conditions Here Lamentable.

Only one out of eleven is able to pass the test. Fully 75 per cent of the men who attempt to enter the army fail to pass the test. We are a nation of physical weaklings as measured by any virile test. "The need therefore is that we shall all as quickly as possible get into good physical condition. There is today a new patriotic appeal, a new national challenge. It is that we shall all live temperately, develop strength and vitality for our country's sake. A man who lives carelessly, eats gluttonously, dissplays his physical powers, is not a patriot. The country today demands his best in physical vigor and vitality. "Because of the imperative need for this increase in bodily power and strength the following is suggested as a beginning which can be used by every person of both sexes unless organically impaired. It is a moderate daily program consisting of: 1. A set of muscular exercises. 2. A quick bath. 3. A brisk rub. INDIAN INDIA. The Part Ruled by Natives In Their Own Right and Names. The notion prevails in the United States that all India belongs to the British and is administered by them. This is an utterly erroneous idea. A very large and populous portion of the peninsula is in the possession of its own people, and is ruled by them, with little or no interference from the British. I have coined the term "Indian India" to differentiate between the India belonging to Indians and that in the possession of the British. Indian India, with its area of $50,000 square miles, is almost one-third as large as continental United States. Its population, 78,000,000 persons, is a little less than four-fifths that of this country. Politically British India is united. It is divided into three presidencies and twelve provinces, which are under the supreme government of India presided over by the viceroy and governor general, who is under the secretary of state for India—a member of the British cabinet. Indian India, on the contrary, is not one political entity. During recent years I have had the privilege of coming in close contact with several Indians who rule in their own right and name, and I have watched their public and private lives. Without a single exception I have found the Indian rulers to be men of great administrative capacity and statesmanship, all devoted to the welfare of their subjects and interested in all sorts of reform movements. Not many public servants or business men in America or elsewhere work so hard or so unscillably as do these Indian potentates. -St Nibal Singh in Southern Workman. "The exercises should be taken at least daily, though twice each day would be preferable. Most persons find it convenient to take their exercises just after arising in the morning or just before retiring. In either case it should be accompanied with a very brief sponge bath. Then a coarse towel should be used and the body given a brisk rub from head to foot. The temperature of the water should be modified to suit the comfort of the individual. "The five mile walk in the open air will be found invigorating. This, if it is desired, can be broken into two or three parts, though there is an advantage after a little practice in taking the walk at one stretch. The majority of people will find it most convenient to get in their daily walking in connection with going to and from work. "It should be said that this program should not take the place of more serious work such as vigorous out of door exercise and recreation, but rather should supplement it. Any Y. M. C. A. or other gymnasium director will be glad to give advice to those who feel the need of it. Counsel as to diet is not given because of the wide variance of individuals. The family doctor or a skilled physical director should be consulted. The accompanying chart shows the exercises that should be gone through daily." MOUNTAIN CLIMBING. Care Should Be Taken to Minimize the Danger of Accidents. At least three-fourths of the accidents that occur in mountaineering are the results of foolhardiness. More than half of the entire number of accidents happen to persons climbing without guides, some to climbers attempting a dangerous or impossible route with guides, and there are still other forms of folly. One may carelessly engage an incompetent guide or an overbold one, who will undertake an ascent under unfavorable conditions. Eliminating these contingencies, there remain certain risks which must be taken by every climber who ascends difficult mountains. However fine the weather, there is the possibility that a sudden storm may render the descent perilous, though even then the chances are ten to one that a skillful climber with first class guides will return in safety. Furthermore, on certain mountains there are places where a party is exposed to danger from avalanches or failing stones. The risk may often be reduced to the minimum by waiting for the best of weather or by making a very early start. All Outdoors. Buried In Style. Attila, who died in 453, was interred in a coffin which was inclosed in one of gold, one of silver and a third of iron. With his mortal remains were interred the spoils of the enemy—harness embroidered with gold and studded with jewels, rich silks and whatever had been taken most precious in the palaces of the kings which the Huns had pillaged. Valuable Farming Facts DUCK RAISING HINTS. Information as to Incubation and Feeding of Young Ducklings. Unless one has the best kind of an incubator and has had experience in artificial hatching it would be better to use hens for raising ducks, says an Iowa poultryman. We get the best result from duck eggs when they are sprinkled once the first week, once the second week and every other day until they are piped. The eggs are often piped two or three days before they are hatched, but do not disturb them until the hatch is complete. We run our incubators a day or more before putting the eggs in at a temperature between 101 and 102 degrees. We keep it at this temperature with the thermometer bulb even with the middle of the eggs for the first three weeks, the fourth week between 102 and 103 degrees. Perhaps more ducklings die from getting chilled than anything else. Take from the incubator and place in a basket well lined and covered with a woolen cloth. Never remove from the incubator until you can have the room real warm; place in a brooder that you have previously warmed up to 100 degrees. Do not feed until forty-eight hours old, but they should have water from the first. Fountains should be so that they cannot get into the water, but should be large enough so that they can immerse their nostrils and eyes. This is necessary to wash away particles of feed. Their eyes may become sore if not kept clean. Change the water each time you feed. Feed regularly five times a day flaked oatmeal or stale bread soaked in water and squeezed as dry as possible and from this feed gradually change to the following mash: Two measures bran, one measure cornmeal and one measure oatmeal. Beef scrap and green feed are also very good. Keep sand before them at all times. Sifted oyster shells and charcoal are also very good. After three weeks old the feed can be changed to cracked corn and wheat and can be fed three times a day. Ducklings are easily raised if given proper feed and care and after five weeks old are the most hardy of all domestic fowls. At this age if the weather is warm they may be allowed to swim. They will also do better if chickens are kept out of their yards. CARING FOR LAMBS. Newborn Animals Require Close Attention to Avoid Losses. Newborn lambs are delicate and close attention must be given the flock if all are to be saved, especially if the weather is cold and damp, says Professor J. B. Fitch of Kansas Agricultural college. Pens four feet square should be provided the ewes at lambing time. These protect the young lambs from the rest of the flock and keep them from becoming separated from their mothers. If the attendant sees that the young lamb gets up and nurses by the time it is fifteen or twenty minutes old there will be little need of giving it any further attention. Twins and triplets are not uncommon, and the ewe sometimes refuses to own the weakest one. In case of twins, if the stronger lamb is removed for an hour or two, the ewe will turn her attention to the other lamb, and when the stronger one is put back she will own them both. In case one of the ewes loses her lamb and another has twins or triplets one of them should be given the ewe that has lost her lamb. Due to the fact that the ewe recognizes her lamb by scent, there is sometimes a little difficulty in getting the foster mother to accept her new charge, but if the scent of the dead lamb is rubbed on the fleece of the lamb that is being changed the ewe will quickly claim it as her own. Preserving Eggs Eggs to be preserved should preferably be infertile and only a day old. They should also be clean, but not washed, as washing makes them porous, allowing the solution to enter. The most successful and cheapest method of preserving is in water glass (sodium silicate). One gallon of sodium silicate, about 50 cents' worth, will, when added to fifteen times as much water, which has been boiled and cooled, be enough to preserve fifty dozen eggs. The solution should be prepared and put in the vessels in a cool place, then the eggs added as they are gathered. There should be at least two inches of solution covering the eggs—Minnesota Experiment Station. Cost of Renovating Orchards. Cost of Renovating Orchards. Figures from two state college demonstration orchards show costs of $0.934 and $1.635 per tree respectively for renovating old orchards. These figures represent not only the cost of one dormant spray for scale, but in addition three summer spray; which controlled insects and fungous diseases. They include also pruning and fertilizing—two items as important in neglected orchards as the entire spraying program. These figures will bear investigation by some who pay big sums to professional spray men for a single spraying. Keep Ram Apart From Flock. Keep warm. It is usually best to separate the ram from the pregnant ewes during the winter. If he is allowed to remain he will greatly annoy them. He will also fret more and become run down in condition. A mixture of oats and bran as a grain ration and clover or alfalfa as a roughage will keep the ram in splendid shape throughout the winter. It may be well to feed him sparingly on corn silage of good quality. TUBERCULOSIS IN COWS. Use of Tuberculin Test Best Method of Detecting the Disease. The only reliable way to detect tuberculosis in dairy cows is by use of the tuberculin test, according to Dr. J. H. Burt, associate professor of veterinary medicine in the Kansas State Agricultural college. This test can hardly be administered by the average person. It is well to call in the aid of a competent veterinarian or some other person who has had actual experience in diagnosing the disease. A cow which is affected with tuberculosis—especially in the more advanced stages of the disease—will be a poor feeder, may cough and will have a tendency to lose flesh, but these are not always sure symptoms of tuberculosis. There may be other causes contributing to the same condition. If a cow does show these symptoms, however, it is advisable to have her examined. Tubercular cows should be shipped to the packing houses having government inspection. Here are special facilities for handling such animals. The carcass is very carefully examined by the government inspector, and if it is found to be unfit for food it is condensed and made into fertilizer. If the diseased cow is an especially valuable animal and it is not deemed advisable to dispose of her immediately she should be separated from the rest of the herd and cared for by a special attendant. It is well for the daiyman to test his herd for tuberculosis and eliminate all those animals that are diseased. All animals that are purchased should be tested before they are added to the herd. All barns and housing quarters should be properly ventilated and maintained in a sanitary condition throughout. Only in this way can the daiyman be reasonably sure of protecting his herd against infection. FEEDING BABY CHICKS. Majority of Losses of Youngsters Due to Overfeeding. Overfeeding in the first few days probably causes the majority of early losses with young chicks. Nature has provided for their maintenance during this period, and improper feeding will result in digestive disorders later. The first day in the brooder chicks may be given water, sour milk or buttermilk, a small amount of grit and a light feed of oatmeal. The water and milk are best fed from a fountain to prevent the chicks from getting wet. Grit and rolled oats should be fed from a board to keep them out of the litter from which the chick is liable to pick injurious substances. The dry mash and grain feed should be introduced the second day, from which time the amount of feed may be gradually increased. The Pennsylvania State college school of agriculture and experiment station has used the following ration for chicks with success for several seasons: Grain—thirty pounds finely cracked corn, twenty pounds cracked wheat, ten pounds pinhead oats or rolled oats; mash—thirty pounds cornmeal, thirty pounds bran, thirty pounds wheat middlings, twenty pounds sifted beef scrap, ten pounds bonemeal. After the fourth day grain is fed three times daily—morning, noon and late afternoon—in the litter and the mash twice daily between the grain periods in shallow pans. About a teaspoonful of grit and the same amount of charcoal to fifty chicks are sprinkled over the mash. The mash is increased up to the end of the first week until it is constantly before the chicks. Secure Hayfork This fork has a pair of toggle links attached to the flattened central tine and operated by a rod with a button at the end. When the links are out the hay is held, when they are in it is released. Handling Pigs. Pigs had better run with mothers eight weeks than six. A good way to wean pigs is to shut the mother with the pigs in a pen and give no food the first day. Let the pigs drain the udder thoroughly and then remove the sow to a dry lot or another pen where there is a little grass and keep the pigs away for a few days. Allow plenty of water for the sow at this time. Give a little feed the second day. A Back Yard Fernery. A fernery in the back yard is a spot to conjure with. The north or shady side is most fitting, and it may include the hardy brakes, which are to be planted in the center, as they grow tallest, often to a height of four feet. Around these set the more delicate varieties, taken up with the leaf mold in which they grew in the woods, says the Farm and Fireside. Sweet fern, too, heightens the attractiveness of a fernery, despite its commonness. Ground juniper, though of quite another family, so much resembles ferns in appearance that it may swell the list. Spraying overnight improves ferns. 心 In the Sport Arena By SPARK PLUG Miller Huggins, manager of the St. Louis National league team, is not boastful, but he says, that his team may prove one of the surprises in the S Photo by American Press Association.

Sam Bittle, huge of body and big of heart, who acquired a niche in the hall of fame when he defeated Harry Gilmore in a twenty-six round battle on Hanssens island, in the Detroit river, in May, 1886, died at his home in Detroit recently. He was fifty-two years old. Bittle was only a lad of twenty-one when he won his first and greatest fight, while Gilmore, his opponent, was an experienced ring master seven years his senior. The contest took place without the knowledge of the authorities, and in the hurry the skin tight gloves intended for the fighters were left behind. The men battled for twenty-six rounds with bare fists, and the story of that last great round is still being told. For this contest Bittle received $1,700. For a number of years afterward Bittle conducted a cafe, but retired five years ago. He is survived by a widow and two sons. Joe Wood In Great Form Practically the entire Cleveland team recently gathered near the Indians' bench to watch Joe Wood take his daily workout, for Joe had announced he intended to cut loose with his famous curve ball. The day was very warm, and Joe was feeling better than at any previous time this season. After a few minutes' warming up he cut loose, with Speaker and Graney acting as imaginary batters. He had all his old stuff on the ball, and when he quit, his twenty minutes being up, he said the salary arm had not palmed him in the least. "I am now ready to declare that I will be just as good as I was three years ago. I am not worrying any more." was his assertion as he donned his sweater and took his sprint around the park. Predicted World War Years Ago Basel, Switzerland, May 28.—Nearly thirty years ago, in 1888, a novel was published in Leipzig under the title "Surya." In this book the following prophecies appear: "In 1904 the first clash between western and eastern countries will take place. "In 1912 the Balkans will be drenched with blood and the corpses of hundreds thousands of slain men will cover the battlefields. From this bloody struggle the most fearful war of all history will develop. The entire civilized world and even savage tribes will be drawn into the horrible conflagration, which will turn all Europe into a howling wilderness in three years. The war will continue until all of the belligerents are exhausted and the armies in the field rebel against the awful slaughter. It will end with a general uprising of the masses. The revolution will start in one of the largest countries engaged in the war and bring horrors which may make those of the French revolution appear like child's play. Within a few months the revolution will spread over all Europe, and when it ends the old world will be depopulated and so impoverished that it may never be able to recover." The first two of these prophecies have come true, and the third one is partly fulfilled. In 1904 the war between Russian and Japan started, and 1912 brought the first Balkan war, which was followed at once by the second. From these struggles the present horrible world war developed. Almost the entire world is fighting. Revolution has overturned the government of Russia. Will the general revolution, the horrid climax predicted by the writer, also come? Deadheads In Peony' Time: In Pepys' Diary he tells of "Thomas Killigrew's way of getting to see plays when he was a boy. He would go to the Red Bull, and when the man cried to the boys, 'Who will go and be a devil and he shall see the play for nothing?' then would he go in and be a devil upon the stage and so get to see plays." What Other Women Are Talking About A NEW TILE MIRROR FROM DELFT ```markdown ``` THESE tiles from Holland are a crystal mat, or glaze, in many interesting color schemes. For example, the pencock is a complementary color scheme of blue-green and burnt orange, the wing being in this shade. They are designed to fill spaces on mirror tops or panels, as counts of arms, teapot stands and as nursery friezes. In the small shaving mirror a black chanticleer crows across a rising sun, while in the large one a white swan floats across a limpid blue lake. Puss in boots makes a delightful gift for the toddler. Three nursery tiles are illustrated as good friends of the babies, and there are also faithful dogs, a bat flying past a sleepy moon and charming Dutch ships sailing into the sunset. Butterflies and fishes make fetching projections for hardwood tables on which vases of flowers are set, while a wild goose spans a blue lake as well as your mirror. Those who wish to be especially effective will choose a dashing cockatoo as end man on a wide panel mirror over opposite a vain polly with a gorgeous tail. They face each other in quite neighborly confabs. After all, despite the human interest of these tiles, their chief charm lies in their wonderfully soft, pure colors. They are framed in circassian walnut, beveled mugany or any enameled wood of choice. THE ONLY PIECE OF LAND HE WANTS. THE LAND OF: THE FREE WE FIGHT NOT FOR CONQUER!

The easiest way to clean a corset is this: If the lace or embroidery at the top is worn, rip it off; also rip off the hose supporters. If they are soiled, buy fresh elastic and insert it in the old buckles or else buy the necessary number of pairs of new supporters. Fill a basin with warm water in which a teaspoonful of borax or ammonia has been dissolved. Dip an old hand brush or clean, small scrubbing brush into the water, rub it with soap and scrub the corset on a small rubbing board or a marble slab. The corset should, of course, be unlaced, and half should be cleaned at a time. Scrub thoroughly until all visible dirt is removed, then rinse, either by dipping quickly into a basin of fresh, clear water or by throwing water on it with a tumbler or dipper. But at all events rinse it thoroughly. Don't be afraid of getting it thoroughly wet. THE ONLY PIECE OF Dry it quickly in the sunshine, out of doors if possible. Corsets cleaned in this way will be really clean. Of course they may be slightly stained from perspiration or even from steel rust, and no cleaning can remove these stains. But you can rest assured that they are really clean. When they are dry replace supporters and mend all broken places. To cover the breaks in the bone casings stitch lengths of stout tape over the bones. Two thicknesses of the tape can be used where the break occurs. Cozy Living Room. When planning for the living room of simplicity don't forget the wicker or rattan hourglass chair. We have learned their infinite possibilities for charm by their successful use in the studios of artists and on the well furnished porch. From these two uses it is merely a step to the small and unconventional living room. One of these chairs, supplied with a pillow, will be an addition. SOMETHING for the BOYS and GIRLS A MOVING CUE. One Way to Help You Through the Dreaded Ordeal. Urgent though the need for such miracle may be, it is seldom possible for one person to be in two places at the same minute. And the house mother who packs the barrel of fine china and brie-a-brac, crumpling paper to tuck into all the crevices, must often leave the unpacking of these precious trifles to somebody who has but a vague idea of what to look for when taking out the contents of the aforesaid barrel, even when assisted by a detailed list. There is always the danger that some tiny article of value may be tossed aside into the pile of discarded packing material. The most effective method of guarding against these losses is for the packer to make use of a few quilces of the cheapest bright colored tissue paper—green, orange, red or a blue that is not too dark. If every article of value, however tiny, be wrapped outside its other packing in the bright paper, there is virtually no chance that any of the packets will get mixed in with the crumpled newspaper or excelsor used to prevent breakage. To make security more certain, however, two rules should be strictly observed. No smallest scrap of leftover tissue should be allowed to get in with the pile of loose or crumpled paper used for "stuffing around," and but one color should be used for wrapping the articles in each box. **barrel.** The color can then be noted either on a large card in the top of the barrel or in good plain letters printed thereon, and the unpacker will know that no smallest wisp of that color is to be allowed to "get away." while the house mother will be able to rest easy in her mind on moving day.

The players stand in a circle. One child starts the game by saying: The next child answers: "What has it brought?" "Teen," says the first child, pretending to drink a cup of tea. All the children then copy the motion as a second player says: "My ship has come home from France." "What did it bring?" is the question. "Snuffboxes." is the answer, at which all the players must begin sneezing in addition to drinking tea. A third ship may bring a piano, and a fourth may carry bicycles. All the motions suggested by the cargoes must be imitated by the players, with a forfeit to be paid by the child who doesn't keep them all going at once. You may readily see the romp which will follow. Running Maze-A Game. The players should form in a long line, one behind the other. The leader starts running and is followed by all the rest. They must be sharp enough to do exactly as the leader does. After running for a moment or two in the ordinary step the leader changes to a hopping step, then to a marching step, quick time, then to a marching step, slow time, claps, run with hands on sides or shoulders or any other manner which may occur to him. Finally the leader runs slowly round and round into the center and can either wind the line up tightly or can turn them on nearing the center and run out again. This is a nice game for an outdoor party. A Watch Game. Place a watch upon a table, then pass paper and pencil to all and have them write down parts of the watch that will complete the following: 1.

Two Flowers. The dahia was named after Andrew Dahl, a Danish botanist, who was a pupil of Linnaeus. The flower is a native of Mexico, but was first cultivated in Europe by Dahl. It was taken to England about 1804. The word dahis is a corruption of "day's eye," as the pretty flower used to be called. The old English form was "daye-sye." The Sunday School Lesson RINGS OUT LIBERTY FOR WORLD THE TWO MEN WERE FIGHTING WITH BOWS. Text of the lesson, John xix, 16:30 Memory verses, 26, 27. Golden Text, I Cor. xy, 3. Pilate seems to have tried again and again to release Him, and his wife also sent him word to have nothing to do with that just man, for she had suffered many things in a dream because of Him (Matt, xxvii, 19). Peter testified after Pentecost that Pilate was determined to let Him go (Acts 11, 13). "He evidently thought when he asked them to choose between Christ and Barabbas as to which he should release unto them that they would surely ask for Christ. But they cried out, "Not this man, but Barabbas," although Barabbas was a robber and murderer (chapter xviii, 40: Acts 11, 14). Pilate's fear to touch Him increased when the Jesus said that His crime was that He said He was the Son of God (verse 7). When Pilate asked Him about his Jesus at first made no reply, but a little later said to him, "Thou couldst have no power against Me except it were given thee from above; therefore he that delivered Me unto thee hath the greater sin" (verse 11). The first part of this reply must refer to the will of God, the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, that which His hand and His counsel determined before to be done (Acts ii. 23; iv. 28), the last part to the high priest who delivered Him to Pilate. There are degrees of sin and degrees of punishment for the lost, as there are degrees of rewards for the righteous (Luke xil. 48; Rev. xxil. 12). When the Jews cried out, "If you let this man go thou art not Caesar's friend; * * * we have no king but Caesar" (verses 12-15). Pilate took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it." Then the people said, "His blood be on us and on our children." Then he released Barabbas, scourged Jesus and delivered Him to be crucified (Matt. xxvil. 24-26). Why did he scourge Him after he declared Him innocent? Why did he deliver Him to the brutal soldiers to be mocked and spit upon and so ill treated? Even a guilty man is protected from injustice at the hands of his enemies as a rule. If we cannot reply to the why, let each one at least say it was all for me, the Holy One of God suffering in my stead. When we see the Son of God, the Creator of all things, the Judge of all mankind, receiving such treatment at the hands of the civil and religious authorities and remember that they are just the same today, what should be our attitude to them? When we hear Pilate say, "Behold the man!" and "Behold your for the BOY RINGS OUT LIBE Photo by American Press Association.

Given a hatchet and knife, a two quart pail, seven inches or less in diameter, one quart of water, a block of soft wood about two feet long and five or six inches through and only one match. If you can make the water boll all over the surface in less than king!" (verses 5-14) we think of the true testimonies of the Spirit, "Behold the man whose name is The Branch" and "Behold, thy king cometh" (Zech. v. 12; 1x. 9). So Pilate delivered Jesus to he crucified, and they took Him and led Him away, and He, bearing His cross, went forth (verses 16, 17). They met one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming into the city and compelled him to turn about and help Jesus bear the cross or bear it for Him (Luke xxill, 26). We remember that He said, "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me" (Matt. xv1, 24). Let us not forget that the cross is never anything beautiful, but a cruel thing signifying a painful and lingering death. Many women followed Him, bewailing and lamenting Him, but He told them not to weep for Him, but for themselves and their children because of the things that would come upon them (Luke xxill, 27-31). Having reached Golgotha, they crucified Him and two evildoers with Him, one on either side and Jesus in the midst, and thus He was numbered with transgressors, all for me. The four soldiers divided His garments among them, but for His cost they cast lors, thus fulfilling another Scripture (verses 23, 24; Ps. xxii, 18). Perhaps three more awful words were never written than these. "They crucified Him" (verse 18), when we consider who He was that they crucified, the Prince of Life, the Lord of Glory (Acts iii, 15; I Cor. ii, 8), and that He submitted to be a curse for us that we might not perish (Gal. iii, 13). We have in our lesson three of His seven sayings on the cross (26, 28, 30); but, taking them in order from all the records, we have first forgiveness, even for those who crucified Him; then glory for even a penitent thief; then provision for His own mother, suggesting the supply of all we can need between salvation and glory. The fourth "as at the beginning of the darkness, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken Me?' and the other three at the close of those awful six hours, 'I thirst.' "It is finished," "Father, into thy hands I commit My spirit." When the Jews asked Pilate to have the bodies removed that their Sabbath day might not be desecrated (oh, the utter hypocrisy of it all) the soldiers broke the legs of the two malefactors, but found Jesus dead already, so they did not break His legs, but a soldier pierced His side, and thus two Scriptures were fulfilled.

By ARTHUR GLYNN Ralph Nichols managed to get through the winter without succumbing to an illness and in the spring was ordered by his physician to the country. He found quarters with a private family in a farming district and in order to get the benefit of exercise in the open air volunteered to assist in preparing the soil for the next season's crops. The first thing the country people thereabout knew of Nichols' presence among them was seeing what they took to be a new farm hand working in the fields, for he donned a farmer's attire and worked like any other man. He was a good looking chap, and it was not long before the young women began to take notice of his existence. Certain men, instigated by their wives and daughters, invited him to "come and see the folks." But Nichols replied to all such invitations that he was in the country for his health, that it was best for him to go to bed early and it would not be convenient for him to make calls. This was taken for an excuse, it being supposed that he did not care to associate with the farmers' families of the region. But instead of irritating the young women it made them more desirous of securing some notice from Mr. Nichols. Indeed, there was scarcely one of them but nourished some plan in her breast for breaking through his reserve. One day Nichols was trudging across a field to reach the place of his work when he heard a woman's voice cry: "Look out." Looking aside, he saw a girl running toward him with a pitchfork. At first he fancied that she was coming to attack him and wondered what might be the cause of her hostility. But, hearing the thud of hoofs in another direction, he turned again and saw a bull coming toward him. The girl was much nearer to him than the bull. Nichols now took in the situation. He had entered an inclosure where the bull had been turned out to pasture. The girl had seen his danger and, snatching up a pitchfork, had run toward him. The principal question in his mind was which would reach him first, the girl or the bull. If the bull won the race he would be gored and probably killed. If the girl reached him first he would probably be safe, for the bull was not likely to impale himself on the prongs of a pitchfork and if he did he would not be capable of doing any harm. Nichols ran toward the girl, keeping one eye on her and the other on the bull. As she neared him he held out his hand for the pitchfork; but, instead of giving it to him, she planted herself between him and the brute. Whether the bull, which had known her ever since he was a calf, deserted on account of the acquaintance or because he preferred not to interfere with the pitchfork does not matter. He stopped short and surveyed the couple as though simply curious to know why they had invaded his domain. "Go to the barn," said the girl to Nichols. "I will cover your retreat." Nichols uttered a word of protest, asking for the pitchfork, but walked t-ward the barn backward, as did the girl, till both reached a side door of the building, into which they disappeared. Then Nichols, seeing that the girl was about to faint, caught her in his arms. The next thing Nichols knew a pretty country girl who had saved his life was opening her eyes and looking up into his face. Perhaps it was a realization that words were a poor medium for expressing gratitude; perhaps it was impulse. At any rate, he drew her nearer to him and kissed her. Now came the surprise of Mr. Nichols' life. "Tell me," he said, "what I can do to show my gratitude for what you have done for me." She blinked her eyes, looked up at the loft, looked to the right, to the left, then straight at the face above her. "Come and see me," she said. "Come and see you." "Yes." "What has that to do with gratitude?" "I'll make all the other girls furious." "Humph!" said Nichols, standing her on her feet. "It seems to me that's a very poor way of showing gratitude. Isn't there something I can do for you? Wouldn't you like to be helped to a career or something?" "Just you come and see me, that's enough." "I'll be at your house this evening early." The girl seemed wrapt in the idea of getting ahead of the other girls, giving no sign of any anterior motive. Nevertheless she had won much more than gratifying so ignoble an ambition. Nichols called that evening and many other evenings, and when a fellow permits himself to spend the principal part of his leisure time with one girl that girl will get him if she wants him. It happened that the girl in this instance was the daughter of a city bred man, who had retired early in life to the country, and had sent his children to the best schools. But it is a question if Nichols would have failed to show his gratitude to the girl who had saved him even if she had been one of the crudest instead of the most refined of the rivals. When you have courage to say, "I was to blame," you are not least among the heroes. PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY BY THE GAZETTE PRINTING CO. METROPOLIS, . . . . H.L. 1895. M. J. McCRARY, MANAGER. J. B.

In creative thought common sense is a bad master. Its sole criterion for judgment is that new ideas shall look like old ones. In other words, it can only act by suppressing originality.—A. N.

Drs Edw Jones, President of the National Baptist Con- The words of Jesus rang out in the ears of Peter and the rest of the Apostles, not only while he was with them but long after his ascension and spurred them on to duty in carrying out the Great Commission and embolding them in throwing thunderbolts of gospel truth into the camps of wickness. The love for Christ and his sheep and lambs caused Peter and the rest to lose sight of self and self interest for the church of which He set up while on earth and died to save. Love for Christ constrains love for the church or sheep. No man, (pastor-shepherd) can have love for Christ and his sheep and, divide, dovour or scatter his sheep. Jer. 23:1. "Woe unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord." Any man who for the sake of a few dollars and cents or for the sake of having his way or carrying out his point in a church and will allow himself to stay at a place just because he has the majority of members or because a few want him, when at the same time he cannot accomplish much good in said church and community does not only injure the cause of the Master but proves his disloyalty and at the same time shows that he is out of harmony with Jesus. God has a field for you if you will let him use you. venticn, and R. H. Boyd, Sec'y, of the great National Publishing Board were present and highly honored while in our midst, also Mrs. Georgia F.

There are several vacant churches in Southern Illinois, and good pastors are very much in need; especially in the Mt. Olive District. We need broad men, men who are able to construct and reach the unreached and unsaved. We need and must have a good sound gospel minister in the Mt. Olive District for Missionary. Who will it be? It will require an able man, of exceptional qualifications one apt to teach, pray for the work and that God will send more laborers into this vineyard. Where are the license ministers? of our churches? Have the churches been making and encouraging young men to prepare for the ministry to take the places of those who have passed into their reward, and others who will shortly do so? We must have recruits to fill the places made vacant or soon the Baptist pulpits and churches will be lost for leaders. The churches and older ministers have made a sad mistake by not encouragising the younger men. They turned down their own for others and now you are in dire need of men, your own men who should follow in the footsteps of their fathers. The crisis is upon us, turn your eyes upon the harvest and see that the laborers are very few indeed. Will you correct this evil by appciating your young men. "Take what you have and make what you want," you can make strong preachers if you will OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT of the MT. OLIVE BAPSTIST S. S. CONVENTION, CAIRO, ILLINOIS APRIL 15, 1917. To The S. S. Composing The Mt Olive Baptist Sunday School Convention. GREETINGS: Dear Co-Laborers, The Thirty-Seventh Annual Session will be held with the Mt. Moriah Baptist S. S on Friday before the fourth Sunday in June at Cairo, Ill. We hope to see every school in the district represented in full. Let us try and make this year 1917 the banner year, notwithstanding we are on the verge of the World's greatest war, and handicapped with the high cost of living, with God as our leader we will be successful if we trust him. We hope the delinquent school will come prepared to pay their full indebtness to the convention as we need the money for the expenses of the convention. The convention offers a beautiful banner to the school that send up the largest amount of money. What school will win? There will also be a white dress parade on Sunday June 24th let every delegate come prepared to be in the parade with a white suit. All schools are requested to elect their delegate not later than the second Sunday in May. Send one copy to Rev. John Bruin, Mt. Vernon, Ill., one copy to the president. If you fail to comply with this request and your school is not on the program dont blame the committee or the president. Hoping that we will be spared to meet altogether in June I am your in the cause of Christ and his Kingdom. 459-15th St. Cairo, Ill. The question often is asked: "What will the proposed system of 4,000 miles of permanent state roads under a $60,000,000 bond issue cost the owner of a farm or a city lot?" The following figures give an explanation to the most minute detail: Estimated payments on $60,000,000 of 20-year 8½% bonds based on the 1915 assessed valuation of $2,499,311,888. DAIRYMEN FOR GOOD ROADS. At the forty-third annual convention of the State Dairymen's association held at Danville, the delegates went on record in favor of a $60,000,000 bond issue for Illinois good roads by adopting the following resolutions: "Whereas, The Dairymen's association, like all other agricultural organizations, is greatly interested in the movement for better country roads; and "Whereas, The Illinois Highway Improvement association in session at Danville on December 19, 1916, adopted resolutions calling upon the Fifteth general assembly to present to the people at the election to be held November, 1918, the proposition to issue state bonds in the sum of $20,000,000 for the construction of a state-wide system of hard roads; and "Whereas, This method appears the only satisfactory one to construct a reasonably complete system within the space of an ordinary lifetime; and "Whereas, There is no modern movement of such vital interest to all agriculturists and to dairymen in particular as the easy transportation of our products to market; therefore be it "Resolved, That this association heartily indorse the proposition to issue state bonds for the purpose of building hard roads; and be it further "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the speaker of the house and to the lieutenant governor for transmission to the house and senate." Not every community that aspires to good roads can afford to lay down concrete. Where there is not money enough for the best roads, why not provide the best that are possible under the circumstances? When this is lone conditions will be so much improved as to attract traffic and hasten development which will enable the construction of highways as good as can be made. SPARTA, ILL. Editor Gazette I wish to say our Sunday School met on usual time and was reviewed by Bo, Eugene Wallace. The church assembled in a prayer service which waz enjoyed by all as our pastor was away attending the State Association in Carbondale, we had no preaching Mr. Eugene Wallace and wife were visiting relates in Chester, last week. Mrs. Nettie Macklin, and sis-in-law made an urgent trip to St. Douis, last week. Mrs. Anna Nace, presented to her husband a fine boo last Friday the 25th. J. J. Tayfer. We he have been reliably informed through Rev. Norment, that Rev. G. W. Dorsey, of Carbondale, who has recently resigned the Hopewell Baptist church, is condemning in bitter terms the members and the officers of the Baptist General Association and Drs. Boyd, Jones. He was too cowardly to speak against them in their presence but kept his dagger under his coat until they had left they had left the city then assassin like plunges it into the back of an incendio and an unwary victim. Any man who would allow himself to be in the organization of an association, be vice Moderator and then when he fails to be re-elected condemn the organization that he helped to organize, is a pigmy indeed in our estamation and is not entitled to be considered by the men who compose the above named association. Rev. Dorsey, claims to be a loyal Baptist and at the same time goes to Centralia, for the purpose of encouraging the members of the 2nd Baptist church to organize another little body in the already two churches. If two churches cannot succeed how can a third one live? The good citizens of Centralia, should fire any minister or set of ministers out of their city who attempt to further divide those people people who are already in a state of chaos on the account internal differences. A minister of Christ should preach peace and pour oil of love on the troubled waters. Ministers of the Lord Jesus, should work for and not so much for "filthy luere," Baptist will not come into their own in this country until Satan calls from the field some of his agents. NOTICE.

Pressed glass was invented by an humble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., but in the primitive state of affairs it profted him little. More than 200 years ago a Behcmian glass-maker conceived the idea of making cut glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thereby, then he was wont to that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures as he chose.
