Hon. Oscar Straus Speak; Restoration of Jews ir Palestine. The large and representative dience at the Church of Atone last night enjoyed a talk from Oscar Straus on the subject ol restoration of Palestine to the as their national home, that ga clear and illuminating insight int ideals of the Zionist movement, of what its accomplishment will i to the world at large, as well as ti Jewish race. He began his talk by speakin the coming of the Pilgrim Fathei America; of the desire for relig and national freedom, that bro them here, and of the analogy tween their spirit and that of the ! ists,who seek religious and nati freedom in a land that will be t own. The Pilgrim Fathers, said the si er, founded a democratic and nat al home here, but this did not in fere with the rights of others ? wished to remain in their own cc tries; and so, to establish a natic home in Palestine, will be to estab a national home only, for those y ?desire to go there, and especially those not enjoying political and i pious freedom in their own countr Those who prefer to stay where are can remain patriotic citiz there. This is a point often misc strued by both Jews and Gentiles. Outstanding Features of the Wi The speaker quoted Lord Rob Cecil who said in a recent addr that the two great outstanding f tures resulting from the war, w< . first, the establishment of a natio; Jewish home in Palestine and seco] the League of Nations. Why this importance of so smal country? Because from this land prophets and seers has come to t world its spiritua 1 foundation, t basis of its law and order; its hop and aspirations. From this land h come the Mother and Daughter all religion-Judaism the mother, ai Christianity the daughter. Unhappi this mother and daughter have n always been in accord, but our hear interpret more and more the tn spirit of the two religions, they w come closer together. For this reas( Zionism appeals to the idealis among Jews and Christians. An Unconquerable Spirit. Mr. Straus went on to say th! though this land of Palestine has bee d?vasted by Greece, Rome, Babylc and Turkey, and the Jewish natio .^ggattered t? the four corners qf tli / globe, jf?i only the land has bee conquered, but never the spirit of th Jewish people. Still, wherever the Jhe scattered they preserve the spiri and ideals of their religion. Lord Arthur Balfour made a: epoch making declaration in statin; that England viewed with favor th establishment in Palestine of a na tional home for the Jewish people ^nd promising assistance in this es ' tablishment, wherever it does not in terfere with the rights of the non Jewish residents of Palestine. For centuries Palestine was the na tional home of the Jews, but ever then many lived in other countries' , sonow, among the fourteen millior ?Jews in the world, many may desire to remain where they ?r?, and wher ever they are, they have full chance to display their idealism. Israel has given the Worlds its ideal of the unity of God, the broth erhood, of ;nan, the principles of so cial justice, the ideals of democracy, and the hope of international peace. What the Restoration means. The restoration to the Jews of Pal estine as a national home will bring there people from all parts of the world, who will prove a blessing to the entire country. General Allenby, when in Palestine said that prophecies were being fulfilled before his very eyes and being transformed into his tory. . Mr. Straus told of the founding of the Agricultural College in Palestine fifteen years ago, by Aaron Aronson, who made the great discovery of the origin of wheat in the rocks of He bron and there has so increased the wheat producing areas. "So not only do spiritual ideas come from Palestine but the main -staff of life." The new high commissioner, Sir Hubert Samuel, will pursue a most liberal policy toward Palestine, which is under England's mandate. Only two days ago, said Mr. Straus, he re ceived a personal letter from Sir Hu bert in Jerusalem, who said that the political difficulties before him were not small owing to the fact that it was difficult to create a house for a people not yet there. * But of the 600,000 people in Pales tine, 15 per cent are Jewish, less are Christians and the remainder are IArabs, who follow Mahomet. So, the establishment of government in Pal estine will be a blessing to the whole ?country, now under the blight of Mo hammedanism since 1493, and will bring peace and content to the coun try. Another extract from Sir Hu bert's letter told of the good financial condition and of the prospects of good harvests this year. Dr. Dorset on Zionism. At the conclusion of Mr. Straus' talk the choir of the church sang an anthem "The Lord is My Strength," and Dr. Dorset announced that next Sunday night being Palm Sunday, he would preach on Zionism as a most appropriate subject. At the conclusion of the service many went up to speak to Mr. Straus and express their enjoyment of his talk last night-Augusta Chronicle. Feed Some Cottonseed Meal With the Corn. While corn is cheap when sold by the Corn Belt farmer, it becomes ex pensive when purchased and fed on the Southern cotton farm. A bushel of corn is about equal to two bushels of oats. That is, when corn costs a $1 * bushel laid down on the Southern farm it is about'as cheap as 50 cents a bushel for oats. This makes corn the cheaper feed in the South as a general rule. But if grass hay is fed and no feed rich in protein, like cottonseed meal, is used; that is, just corn and grass hay or corn and corn fodder, we would pre fer the oats at 50 cents a bushel to corn at $1 a bushel. If, on the other hand, legume hays are used, of if about one part by weight of cotton seed meal is used with six parts of corn, the corn will prove the cheaper feed. ' But if com and grass hay or corn and corn foddor are used, it will very much improve the feed and at least four pounds less corn may be fed daily per horse or mule, if two pounds of cottonseed meal is fed.-Progres sive Farmer. Circumstantial Evidence. Riding on a street car, . Hanging to a strap, A young lady met with Quite a mishap. The hand she was holding with Had her kerchief in her sleeve, Suddenly she decided That hand to relieve. Her handkerchief dropped out On a gentleman's lap, As he sat there taking A quiet little nap. She made no attempt at Trying to remove it, The position it was in Did not approve it. The passengers all laughed at The kerchief on his pants, rheir laughing woke him up And around he did glance. Their mirth for a while his Attention did divert, . ?' Then looking down he saw it And thought it was his shirt. He had in his hand a . - Paper by chance He covered his lap with this and Stuffed the kerchief in his pants. When the passengers saw this They certainly did roar; A.nd at this the man got Indeed very sore. ^; y i\nd although his home Was yet quite far, , He signaled the conductor ' r And got off the car. A.nd for another car He did have to wait, When it did come along It was one hour late. His wife wanted to know How come this about; He said "I missed the car, I ought to look out." He thought he had it settled But there was yet more, For when he pulled off his pants The kerchief dropped to the floor. His wife was looking and When this she "spied, She said "0 you villain, To me you have lied." "That handkerchief belongs To some other girl, I will never believe you Any more in the world." This mystery he could not For the moment explain, How could he ever his Wife's confidence gain. He thought how it happened, How he was deceived; But how could he prove it, And have it believed. This man though a gentleman, With an honest face, As a joror refuses to Convict in a case Where all the evidence shown Is merely circumstantial, And he cites his personal experience As a reason substantial.
