The teacher was attempting to drill the class in the use of the word "felt." She expected some one of the children to say "The ice felt cold" or "The stove felt hot" or something of the sort. She was much discouraged when one little alien who had raised his hand to volunteer a sentence said: "I felt downstairs."—Boston Post. Origin of Chdatening Shire Origin of Christening Ships. The ceremony of christening ships is a survival of a barbarian custom when sacrifices were made to the gods, and some living victim or offering was held up and its throat cut so that the blood flowed over the prow of the ship being launched. The vessel was baptized in warm blood. Now sprinkling wine or pure water is used, and the change has many advantages, though the symbolism remains. All Weather Good.

Reporter. of the Fear Forgotten as Men Grapple to Death © AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Novelist In Letters Home Describes Emotions Under Fire. "Poor, Lonely, People, So Brave and So Anonymous In Their Death! Somewhere There Is a Woman Who Loved Each One of Them"—Thus the Dead of the Battlefield Appeal to Him. CONINGSBY DAWSON, English novelist, resident in the United "I dare say you'll wonder how it feels to be under shell fire. This is how it feels. You don't realize your danger until you come to think about it afterward. At the time it's like playing cocoanut shies at a negro's head, only you're the head. You take too much interest in the sport of dodging to be afraid." Describes a Battlefield. One of the best passages in the entire collection of letters is this description of a battlefield as it is in northern France today: "Oh, if I get back how different shall write!" he exclaims in an letter, and he adds: "When you've faced the worst many forms you lose your fear arrive at peace. There's a marigoldeur about all this carnage desolation—men's souls rise about distress—they have to in order to vive. When you see how cheap bodies are you cannot help but that the body is the least part of sonality. " "I plan novels galore and w whether I shall ever write the novelist, resident in the United States, was busy trying to follow up the success of his novel, "A Garden Without Walls," when the war came. He realized that as he was a Briton of military age it it was his duty to put literature behind him and fight for his country. Delaying only long enough to finish some work which he had promised his publishers, he crossed from this country into Canada and there qualified as an officer in the Canadian forces. Shipped thence across the ocean last summer, he found himself, after only a short stay in England, plunged without further ado into the hell on the Somme. For months thereafter he dealt and dodged death from morning to night, with scarcely the time to get a really good wash or change of clothes. He saw men killed a few feet from him; saw corpses by the hundred lying in hideously lifelike postures amid the black mud of shell holes, and, faithful to his profession as a writer, he fought with the full strength of his intellect to grasp and visualize and set down on paper the terrific impact of new and horrible impressions which the war brought to him. He could not do it. Who can? But Coningsby Dawson, novelist, has given us something better than a novel in his latest volume, "Carry On," made up of letters from the trenches to members of his family on this side of the Atlantic, collected by his father. He makes you see the reactions to the war of a civilian in uniform, a man accustomed to the ease of life who is abruptly plunged into carnage and burbarism and stench. "This war will be won by tired men who will never again pass an insurance examination," is one of the phrases, one of many, that flash the Somme horror to his readers. And throughout the book the novelist remains always a writer. In a candle lit dugout, with shells screaming overhead, he tries to plan the novel of tomorrow. Coningsby Dawson sailed for Europe last July. "I've become a little child again in God's hands," he wrote to his family after months of training in a Canadian camp, "with full confidence in his love and wisdom and a growing trust that whatever he decides for me will be the best and kindest." A short two months later he was in northern France, hurled without easy gradations into the midst of the carnage of the Somme. In one of his first letters he wrote to his sister: "It's extraordinary how commonplace war becomes to a man who is thrust among others who consider it commonplace. Not fifty yards away from me a dead German lies rotting and uncovered. I dare say he was buried once and then blown out by a shell." Admiration for the coolness of the men engaged in the deadly work constantly overcame the young novelist as he grew to know his comrades better. "If unconscious heroslum is the virtue most to be desired," he wrote to his father last September, "and heroslum spiced with a strong sense of humor at that, then pretty well every man I have met out here has the amazing guts to wear his crown of thorns as though it were a cap and bell's." And in the same letter he gave this description of being under fire: "I dare say you'll wonder how it feels to be under shell fire. This is how it feels: You don't realize your danger until you come to think about it afterward. At the time it's like playing cocoanut shies at a negro's head, only you're the head. You take too much interest in the sport of dodging to be afraid." Describes a Battlefield One of the best passages in the entire collection of letters is this description of a battlefield as it is in northern France today: "Well, I've seen my first modern battlefield and am quite disillusioned about the splendor of war. The splendor is all in the souls of the men who creep through the squailor like vermin—it's in nothing external. * * * "A modern battlefield is the abomination of abominations. Imagine a vast stretch of dead country, pitted with shell holes as though it had been mutilated with smallpox. There's not a leaf or a blade of grass in sight. Every house has either been leveled or is in ruins. No bird sings. Nothing stirs. The only live sound is at night—the sourry of rats. "You enter a kind of ditch, called a trench. It leads on to another and another in an enjoyable maze. From the sides feet stick out, and arms and faces—the dead of previous encounters. 'One of our chaps,' you say casually, recognizing him by his boots or khaki, or 'Poor blighter—a Hun.' One can afford to forget enmity in the presence of the dead. "It is horribly difficult sometimes to distinguish between the living and the slaughtered—they both lie so silently in their little kennels in the earthen bank. You push on especially if you are doing observation work, till you are past your own front line and out in No Man's Land. You have to crouch and move warily now. "Zing! A bullet from a German sniper. You laugh and whisper, 'A near one, that.' "My first trip to the trenches was up to No Man's Land. I went in the early dawn and came to a Mme. Tussaud's show of the dead, frozen into immobility in the most extraordinary attitudes. Some of them were part way out of the ground, one hand pressed to the wound, the other pointing, the head sunken and the hair plastered over the forehead by repeated rains. I kept on wondering what my companions would look like had they been three weeks dead. My imagination became ingeniously and vividly morbid. When I had to step over them to pass it seemed as though they must clutch at my trench coat and ask me to help. "Poor, lonely people, so brave and so anonymous in their death! Somewhere there is a woman who loved each one of them and would give her life for my opportunity to touch the poor clay that had been kind to her. It's like walking through the day of resurrection to visit No Man's Land. "Then the Huns see you, and the shrapnel begins to fall. You crouch like a dog and run for it." Soon after that a terrifying adventure befell the novelist, of which he makes light in a letter to his mother; "Today I had the funniest experience of my life—got caught in a Hun curtain of fire and had to lie on myummy for two hours in a trench with the shells bursting five yards from me—and never a scratch. You know how I used to wonder what I'd do under such circumstances. Well, I laughed. All I could think of was the sleek people walking down Fifth avenue and the equally sleek crowds taking tea at the Waldorf. It struck me as ludicrous that I, who had been one of them, should be living there lunchless." "Oh, if I get back how differently I shall write" he exclaims in another letter, and he adds: "When you've faced the worst in so many forms you lose your fear and arrive at peace. There's a marvelous grandeur about all this carnage and desolation—men's souls rise above the distress—they have to in order to survive. When you see how cheap men's bodies are you cannot help but know that the body is the least part of personality. * * * "I plan novels galore and wonder whether I shall ever write them the way I see them now. My imagination is to an extent crushed by the stupendousness of reality. I think I am changed in some stern spiritual way—stripped of flabbiness. I am perhaps harder—I can't say. That I should be a novelist seems unreasonable—it's so long since I had my own way in the world and met any one on artistic terms." Here is a fine passage in a letter to his sister: "The great uplifting thought is that we have proved ourselves men. In our death we set a standard which in ordinary life we could never have followed. I inevitably we should have sunk below our highest self. Here we know that the world will remember us and that our loved ones, in spite of tears, will be proud of us. What God will say to us we cannot guess, but he can't be too hard on men who did their duty." He relates some terrible anecdotes of the front, among which the worst is this: "I met a solitary private wandering across a shell torn field. I watched him and thought something was wrong by the aimlessness of his progress. When I spoke to him he looked at me mistily and said: 'Dead men. Moonlit road.' He kept on repeating the phrase, and it was all that one could get out of him. Probably the dead men and the moonlit road were the last sights he had before he went insane." "I don't know whether I have been able to make any of my emotions clear to you in my letters," says Coningsby Dawson, writing after months of constant fighting. "Terror has a terrible fascination. Up to now I have always been afraid—afraid of small fears. At last I meet fear itself, and it stings my pride into an unpremeditated courage." And in a letter to his father he strikes forth this graphic bit: "I've owed you a letter for some time, but I've been getting very little leisure. You can't send steel messages to the kaiser and love notes to your family in the same breath." Washed Dishes at the Table. In former centuries a cistern for the washing of dishes at the table was part of the furniture of a well appointed dining room in England. The plates were rinsed in it when necessary during the meal. Pepys in his diary tells of purchasing a pewter cistern as part of his preparations for a dinner of state. A magnificent silver cistern is still preserved in the dining room at Burghby House, the seat of the Marquis of Exeter. Curious Beehives. In the village of Hoefel, Silesia, there are a number of beehives in the shape of life size figures cleverly carved in wood and painted in colors. The figures were carved more than a century ago by monks of the Naumburg monastery, who were at that time in possession of a large farm in the district. The beehives represent different characters, ranging from Moses to a military officer, a country girl and a night waterman with a spear. Information for Farmers CULTIVATION OF CORN. Too Frequent Stirring of the Ground When Dry May Do Harm. Cultivation is of greatest importance in the early growth of corn, according to L. E. Call, professor of agronomy in the Kansas State Agriculture college. The harrow may often be used to advantage after planting on both listed and surface planted corn, but when the shoots of the surface planted corn are just out of the ground it is not best to harrow again until the corn is two or three inches high. Weeds that are just germinating or that have not yet obtained a good root hold on the soil are easily killed by light cultivation with the harrow or the weeder. The lister cultivator is admirably adapted for cultivating listed corn. Ordinarily it is used twice, once with the disks set to throw the soil away from the corn and once with the disks set to throw it toward the corn. It is important that the cultivator be set to kill or cover all the weeds in the row. Those which escape the early cultivation cannot, as a rule, be destroyed later. The shovel cultivator is used in cultivating corn after it becomes too high to harrow or, in the case of listed corn, after the ridges have been worked down with the lister cultivator. The number of cultivations depends on the type of soil, on the distribution of the rainfall and on whether the weeds are unusually numerous. Experiments show that from three to six cultivations are as many as are practical. Too frequent stirring of the ground, especially when it is dry, may do harm, in that the dusty condition of the soil is effective in keeping rainwater from entering the soil readily. The ideal condition in which to maintain the soil is to have a mulch two or three inches deep, composed of small lumps mixed with small granules and reasonably free from dust. On the average it is best to cultivate two or three inches deep. While the plants are small and before the roots occupy the space between the rows the ground may be stirred deeply with good results. After the roots have permeated all the soil it should not be cultivated to a depth of more than three inches. An extra cultivation or two with a one horse cultivator may be given to advantage if rains have heavily crested the soil after the corn has been "inlid by" and if a crop of weeds is starting. When the ground is in good tilth and reasonably free from weeds nothing is gained by cultivation after the ordinary "laying by" time. Late cultivations should always be shallow to avoid damaging the corn crops. PURE BREDS PAY. No Profit In Raising Dairy Heifers of Scrub Breeding. Raising dairy heifers as commonly practiced by farmers is a money losing proposition, as shown by cost account records kept by the Ohio agricultural experiment station in thirty herds. The keeping of inferior stock is discouraged. An average loss of $6.90 a head was figured on 361 calves raised to a year old. A further loss of $8.94 a head was found on raising 327 heifers from one to two years old. Only two dairy-men out of thirty made a profit on raising heifers to two years old. Methods of feeding these buffers are above those commonly practiced on most dairy farms. The loss must be even greater under systems having no close management. Such a loss could not be made up by scrub animals, but high grades and pure breeds bring prices above the cost of raising them. The disposal of inferior calves is one remedy to prevent such losses. Marketing Eggs Put your eggs in a good serviceable egg crate equipped with sound, clean fillers and flats. Keep them in a cool cellar or milk room until you take them to town. Market your eggs at least once a week and oftener if you have enough to make it practicable. Use dirty, weak shelled and misshaped eggs at home. They are all right if used right away, but are hard to handle on the way to the consumer. Learn to candle eggs. Learn how bad eggs look as seen before the candle and learn why eggs go bad. Your egg buyer will be glad to show you how. If possible sell to a buyer who pays more for good than for bad eggs.—University of Wisconsin. Time to Wean Lambs. Lambs should be weaned at from four to five months of age, depending somewhat on the condition of the ewes and the size of the lambs. Where they are large and growthy and the ewes thin the lambs may be weaned earlier in order that the ewes may be put in better condition before breeding. Where the lambs are small and the ewes in good condition, however, they may be allowed to run together longer. The lambs should be well fed at weaning time to avoid setbacks. Hens on Range. The hens out on range must be looked after. They are apt to hide their nests in some out of the way place, and in consequence many eggs are lost or never found until they have lost their value. Beware of the hidden nest, and above all things never market an egg that has been found outdoors; let the cook in your own kitchen test its quality. CARE OF THE PULLETS. Suitable and Abundant Food Necessary to Make Egg Producers. Whether the flock of pullets will produce eggs next winter when prices are high will depend, among other things, upon the care given to the flock in late summer and fail, writes a correspondent of the American Agriculturist. The most essential thing is to provide suitable food and plenty of it. Any of the various grains grown upon our farms will fill the bill, but it is best to have a variety. Oats are not as suitable as wheat because of the large amount of husks that cover the meats. Fowls will not eat this grain as readily as wheat and corn. There is nothing superior to wheat for the development of bone and muscle and the promotion of a general condition of health and vigor in the growing birds. We are taking it for granted that the flock has the free range of the fields. In this way not only will the flock secure a considerable portion of its food, grain that woulk; otherwise be lost, but the exercise taken in these hunting excursions is most beneficial in securing strong, vigorous, stocky layers. In this way, too, the much needed animal food, an essential part of a properly balanced ration for growing fowls, is secured at no extra expense to the owner. There is also a further saving made in preventing injury to crops through the destruction of vast numbers of bugs and insects gathered in by the flock. One summer our flock of about 100 Brown Leghorns had the free range of five and one-half acres of cucumber vines, and the greater share of the day was spent by them in hunting for bugs and other insect life that always propagate so freely during the summer months. When dressing the male birds our children would frequently call our attention to the large numbers of hard shelled bugs with which their crops were stuffed. The chickens appeared to be fond of cucumbers, and there was some loss in this way. However, by slicing the large, unsalable cucumbers and placing them where they were most handy the loss in this was not of any consequence. A flock of chickens must be working a good deal of harm before I should consider it profitable to coop them in pens. PLANT MORE CORN. The Most Effective Substitute For Wheat at Our Disposal. The most effective way to remedy the probable shortage in the wheat crop is to plant corn, says the United States department of agriculture. Ordinarily the quantity of corn produced in the United States is from three to four times the quantity of wheat, but only a very small portion of the crop, from 5 to 10 per cent, has been used for human food. This amount may be estimated in normal times at about 200,000,000 bushels a year. Not over 5 per cent has been exported in peace times. A relatively slight increase in the corn acreage therefore will place many millions of bushels more of human food at the disposal of the world without interfering in any way with the feed needed for the support of live stock. In the past, with an abundance of grain of other kinds, corn has not been in great demand for human consumption. But with other grains no longer abundant circumstances will compel more general recognition of the value of corn as human food. The department is urging strongly the wider use of corn in the diet. It is the best substitute for wheat that we have and can be utilized in brands, mushes and a variety of other ways. We should make every effort to avail ourselves of it. "Plant corn" then should be the motto of every farmer in a section suited to the crop. Creep For Pigs. A creep which the pigs can crawl under and get away from their mothers to eat will pay for the few hours spent in building it. They will waste less feed when they have only those of their own size to fight; they will get more to eat when the older hogs don't have a chance to drive them away from the frough, and they will learn to eat grain and skimmilk earlier if given a private dining room. HORSE WISDOM. Horsemen will soon need to be on their guard against overheating. Most cases of overheating can be prevented by keeping a few simple things in mind. Give at least a painful of water to each horse about 10 o'clock and again at 3 or 4 o'clock on a hot day. Be very careful with a horse that is a little out of health if you are working him on a hot day. Look out for a horse that, after sweating freely, suddenly stops sweating. Put such a horse in the shade as soon as possible and give a moderate drink. Do not put a horse not in good condition for hard work in the center of a four horse team in hot weather. Work carefully on a hot day when the atmosphere is moist and heavy. * A horse can hardly get too hot * to water, but one must regulate * the amount by the temperature * of the water. * Hank Gowdy Sets Pace. Harry H. (Hank) Gowdy, Gowdy, the Boston Braves catcher, set the pace for the major league players when he enlisted in the army recently. It is expected that Hank will remain with the Boston team until he is sent to a training camp. Gowdy obtain his first professional engagement with the Lancaster team of the Ohio State league, where he played first base for two years. He went to Dallas in 1910, but the following year found him with the Giants. John McGraw, however, trudged him, with Al Bridwell, to Boston for Charlie Herzog. Gowdy was sent to Buffalo under an optional agreement, where he played during 1912 and 1913. In 1914 he was back with the Braves as a catcher and immediately showed his real worth. The year proved his best, as he was the batting star in the world's series with the Philadelphia Athletics. Leonard Lost $5,000. Benny Leonard lost $5,000 recently when he battled Richie Mitchell in Milwaukee. And this is how it happened: When Billy Gibson signed up for the match with Promoter Tom Andrews he was given the privilege of taking a flat guarantee of $10,000 for Leonard's end or a privilege of 32 per cent. Billy mopped his classic brow and did a bit of thinking. "If Andrews wants to hand us that much money, flat guarantee, he must be figuring a monster house. Guess we'll take the per cent and make sure of it," said Billy. So they signed up on a percentage basis, and when the box office receipts were counted Leonard's end was a little over $5,000, for Milwaukee fans did not shake themselves loose in the manner that Gibson had expected. Although all of the Boston Braves pitcher have been faring badly this season, it is predicted that they will 1 Photo by American Press Association. Dick Rudolph. do better in warm weather. Dick Rudolph already is showing a return of his old time form. It will be recalled that it was as late as July in 1915 that the Braves made their phenomenal climb from the bottom of the percentage column to the top of the National league and then won the world's championship. Stallings says history may repeat. Why Wagner Retired. Hans Wagner has broken silence as to the real cause of his retirement from the diamond. He made his first visit to headquarters since the close of last season, and President Dreyfuss was surprised when the big Dutchman walked in. He gave the denial to stories that he was sore on the club management. The real reason for his retirement, he says, is the discovery of a valuable vein of coal on his property near Carnegie. Hans will devote his time to developing the black diamonds. Will Maintain Schedules Eight colleges composing the southern athletic conference will maintain their athletic schedules, at least until the war department makes a specific demand for service on the colleges. It was announced following a conference meeting at Atlanta. The schools represented were Georgia Tech, University of Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Swanee, Mercer, South Carolina and Mississippi A. and M. Ford Quits Baseball. Russell Ford, formerly with the New York Yankees and more recently on the pitching staff of the Denver club of the Western league, said he intended to quit organized baseball at once because he could "not get into form." He will return to his former employment, that of a draftsman in Denver. Ford is credited with the invention of the "emery ball."

An illusion Which Will Fool Any of Your Party Guests. Do you desire me, ladies, to teach you my secret for making impromptu verses? It Is to rub your forebead well, not with the hand, ax Horace did of old. but by giving your head some good sound blows against the wall. Then proceed to knock your head three or four tines against a door and put your hand to your forehead as 1¢ to Geaden the pain produced by the vio- lence of the blows, But you must do something more than merely touch the oor with your head, At the same mo- ment that you make the movements as if knocking yourself you ward off the blow by the ald of the left hand held to the door about the spot which you appear to strike, while the closed right hand, concerled from the audience, strikes on the other side of the door, The correspondence of the move ments of the head with the noise of the blows given by the clenched fist produces a perfect Musion on the aiinds of the spectators.

Every. good prophet, priest and king points onward to the Lord Jesus who when on earth was the prophet like unto Moses, speaking Just what the Father told him: who fs now our great Iigh priest within the vetl, ever living to make intercession for us; and who when He comes again shalt be the true king of Israel, reigning in righteousness, a priest upon his throne, and we shall be His associates and Joint heirs, the twelve apostles ruling over the twelve tribes of Israel (Deut. “xviii, 18, 19; John xii, 49, 50; Heb. vil, 27; der, xxill, 5, 6: Zech, vi, 12, 13; Rev, 1,5, 6: ¥, 9, 10; Luke xxii, 28:20), What a glorious future to keep ever before us, to wean us from all present entanglements and enable us to run with patience the race set before us! (Heb, xii, 12) Ax Josiah was power- less, even with the help of Jeremiah, to effectualiy stem the tide of ever in- creasing iniquity, we may not expect to do more than he did in the last years of his age, to which we have come, Jeremlah was a prophet of the Lord during the last forty years pre- cediug the Judgment upon Judah (the luat eighteen of Josiah’s relgn and the Htwenty-two of the four bad kings who succeeded him), aud we may be Roma a good deal less than forty years of the end of this evil age, which will end with a time like the days of Noah and Lot (Luke xvii, 26-20). We jean only do as Josiah and Jeremiah did, and that is be faithful to God as He gives us time and opportunity. It is profitable to compare the reigns of }Joash and Josiah (I Chron, xxiv, the two boy kings, but Josiah did better “than Joash, though he did not reign as long, To do right in the sight of the “Lord, turning neither to the right hand not fo the left (lesson verses 1, 2), is a good summary of a godly life and reminds of the Lord's message to Abram after the thirteen years blank ju his history, “Iam the Almighty God: waik before Me and be thou perfect” (Gen, xvi, 16; vil, 1). "Phe message mixht be read literally: “Tam ElShaddai, the mighty God, all suflictent for yon; walk before Me and be upright or sincere, It is a ‘ood word for every believer. As to being “kept from turning to the right hand or to the left, there is a very gracious promise in Isa. xxx, 21. When Josiah “was sixteen he began to seek after the | God of David, bis father (verse 3), and Nest of the Grebe.

Hall's catarrh is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

A short session of the executive board was held in Cairo, on Saturday June 23, with the Mod. Elder J. B. McCrary, presiding. The first thing under considera was to find a place for the Association to hold its forthcoming session, as the Shiloh Baptist church, Future City could not care for it. After carefully considering the invitations, a motion prevailed to meet with Siloam Baptist church, Unionville, on Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in Sept. 1917. A motion prevailed that the Educational space on the church letter blanks, be changed to read Livingston Normal Rebuilding and Educational Tax. A motion prevailed that the Woman's District auxiliary be requested to turn over to the treasurer of Trustee Board, all of the money they have on hand for education and same placed in the Bank by him on interest. Eld. H. E. McWilliams, came in and was permitted to speak on the Co opperative Missionary work. A motion prevailed thus this subject be special attention in the association next fall. Eld. J. D. Davis. paid the missionary money of $4.00 for the Mt Olive church, Colp. This closed a short and sweet session of the Board. Elder J. B. McCrary, To the Baptist Churches of Mt. Olive Baptist Association. It is to be hoped that all of our churches will respond to the urgent need and appeal of our missionary on the field just now. Brethren, it is a sin to place a man on the field to look after the neglected churches and fail to see after his support, while we are at home faring sumptuously every day with our families and congregations. It is wore than a crime to allow his family to suffer, while we are responsible to to send the gospel into destitute places. "How can they hear without a preacher, and how can they preach except they are sent?" Brethren, bestir yourselves as never before; the eyes of our old fathers who have let their montles fall on us are expecting us to evangelize this field in they labored so earnestly, contending for missions and the missionary. Remember the great commission, and let us take the State for Christ. The harvest is white, but the laborers are few. Lift up your eyes and look upon the field. The true missionary spirit is lax in most of our Baptist churches in Southern Illinois. Let us put out mission cards, preach a mission sermon once a month or a quarter, lift a special collection for missions and start the mission box plan. We have a good missionary in the person of Elder J. H. Hilley, and he needs our support. Let every church send something to the Board which meets with the Sunday School conuion at Cairo, June 13th.
