R. G. Lee Preaches on Chris tian Development. "The danger of 'the Christian is arrested development," said the Rev. Robert G. Lee in his sermon at the Shandon Baptist church last even ing. Dr. Lee is conducting a series of services, one being held each evening. "We content ourselves," he said, "with a corner when God shows us a continent." Among other thought exciting statements were the following : "One great weakness of the church is that we have so much to enjoy and so little to endure." "The great mystery to me is not God's mercy to terrible sinners but God's patience with ill natured saints." "If God forgave us our trespasses as we forgive others many of us would be in hell." "There are too many brakemen and too few firemen in the church." "If our ideals were anywhere up to the ideals of Jesus we would see the man in the profligate, the son in the prodigal, the woman in the har lot, the image of God in every wreck and waif of earth."-The State. Four New Specialists to Help Truckers. Clemson College, April 28.-Four experienced specialists in the grad ing, packing and standardizing of truck crops are to be appointed in the near future by the Extension Service to help the farmers in the new trucking sections in getting their truck .crops ready to put on the mar ket in acceptable condition. The Extension Service realizes that many farmers in certain parts of the state have gone into trucking this year as their first experience, that those farmers are not familiar with the requirements and methods of grading, packing and shipping truck crops; and that there is consequently much danger of great loss to such farmers unless guidance and assist ance are given at the right time. Di rector Long feels therefore that the greatest service to be rendered these new truck growers lies in helping them to prepare in an acceptable manner for market the produc which they are now growing. Two of the specialists, who will be engaged for the truck crop season, will be located at Florence and the other two at Aiken, conveniently near to the needs of sections where many farmers are growing new crops. The men will be secured from the older trucking sections of South Car olina if possible. If not, a repres^nti. Itive of the Extension Service will go to Florida to secure men who have had a large practical experience in work of this kind. It is hoped to have them on duty early in May. The Flyless City. The flyless city is the dream of health officials. McPherson, Kansas, with a population well under ten thousand, plans to realize the dream next summer by the enforcement of an ordinance enacted by the City Commission which offers an example to every community which makes the well-being and comfort of its citizens one of its foremost considerations. The commission, after studying the problem from all angles, has ruled that no resident of McPherson shall be allowed to keep more than one horse, one cow or one hog within the corporate limits. All barns, stables, chicken houses and even dog houses, must be cleaned three times a week, and refuse removed outside the city, where means will be available for its destruction. Every merchant must place wire flytraps at the front and rear entrances of his place of busi ness and all citizens must take simi lar precautions in their homes under penalty of incurring a fine.-Provi dence Journal (Ind). Knowledge is Power. In a great factory one of the huge power machines suddenly balked. In spite of the exhortation, language, oil .and general tinkering, it refused to even budge. Production slowed down and the management tore its hair. At last an expert was called in. He carefully examined the machine for a few minutes, then called fer a ham mer. Briskly tapping here and there for about ten minutes, he announced that thf machine was ready to move. And it did. Two days later the management re ceived a bill for $250-the expert's fee. The accountant was a righteous man who objected to overcharge. He demanded a detailed statement of thc- account. He received this: To tapping machine with ham mer -.__$ 1.00 To knowing where to tap_ 249.00 Kansas City (Mo.) Buzz Saw. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine.

The jolly, round-faced Chinese who Is u combination of proprietor, cook and clerk in a delicatessen store on Doyers street runs his shop for the section and not for "sightseers," says the New York Sun. When a strange face that is not Chinese pokes Itself inside the shop, where the floor is half covered with peck baskets that hold such oriental vegetables as gray potato and lily root, his face goes totally blank, he understands nothing, and speaks only the most painfully "pidgin" English. But if the door is opened by a west erner whose business he understands and he happens to be in a talkative mood, he can entertain by the half hour with tales and traditions of his trade, told In excellent English, with plenty of jokes and much chuckling. When he speaks of western food and western ways of cooking his man ner ls always courteous but mildly patronizing. When he talks of the ways of Asia he becomes animated, and when he teaches things about Chinese cooking he ls actually enthusi astic. A mild attempt was made recently to hive him understand that, while real Chinese mixtures involving com plicated combinations of such things as bits of roast pig, lily roots, bamboo shoots and alkaline solution might have an exotic artistic interest, it should, after all, be conceded that the West, and especially these United States, had done most to develop sci entific eating. He laughed gleefully. "No, no, no! That ls not so!" he began. "No people eat with more science, with more careful cooking than the people of China, and this they were doing centuries befdre Eu rope had civilization. "Our cooking, we are taught in Cliina, was Invented by our emperor. Pow Hay Se, who reigned about 3000 B. C., although it was our great teach er, Confucius, who laid down most of the rules for scientific eating which to this day are followed by the peo ple. It was his rule that never more meat than vegetables be eaten at a meal. About one-third meat should be ample. "All food should be properly chopped up fine before lt is good to eat. Seasoning should be careful: cooking should be for a very long time. It is always well to have a little ginger root in the food. "Such rules as these-are they ncr most excellent rules for scientific eat ing? We followed them centuries be fore there was such ideas In the West" How She Lost Him. "Oh, what a lovely ring!" she twit ted ecstatically. "But, Keginuld, now that you have declared your love for me- I want to overwhelm you with something wonderful ! ' All alon?: I haye kept ray various talents from you, just to be sure that you loved me for myself alone. And now I'm going to surprise you with some of them. I can play the piano beautifully !" And she immediately rendered Bunn bouser's "Bounce of the Babies" in sensible. After the first few chords Reginald Poorfellow changed his seat for one next the door. "How do you like that?" she asked when the last crash had died away. "Rot-I mean wonderful!" heeded, with fond enthuslsm. "And I can sing, too!" she said; and immediately executed G Whizz's "Yell of the Helpless" Trembling, he nrose. Taking her left hand, while she was looking Into his face for the ad miration she merited, he slipped off the ring again and disappeared in a cloud of thought. Equipment. "Rastus, Ps gwlne get rich. Ts done bought me some stock in a nut factory." "A which kind of a factory?" "A nut factory, which sells de meat of pecans, almonds and sich, already cracked an' picked out.

"Is dish henh company already li censed, established an' ready fo' blz ness?" "Yeah, praktikally-all 'cept tralnln' de squirrels."-From Life. A Dear Friend. We were taking the fresh-air chil dren back to the city. At the last minute we missed small Annie. We made a hurried search and found ?her at last on the floor beside her bed, with her face buried in the pillow. "What's the matter, Annie?" we asked. "What are you crying for?" "I ain't crying," was the indignant reply, "I was just kissing my bed good-by, cause I don't know when I'll ever see another,"-Youth's Compan ion. "Spread-Eagle Talk." "I've never heard you say, 'From Maine to California and from the Great Lakes' to the sun-kissed gulf.' " "No," said the eminent statesman, "I don't believe In taking In "too much territory in a speech and, further more, while fm proud to be a citizen of such a great country, I've noticed that the orators who dwell on its geo graphic^ dimensions nre not doing anything in particular to make lt a better place lo which to live."_ 4-The-? Scrap Book DIDN'T FEEL THE HANDICAP Simple Precaution That Enabled Shrewd Individual to Emerge Victor In "Pea Race." It was galaday at Worstock, and among the many events was a "pea race." Each com petitor had to pro duce two dozen peas and place them in his boots before a commit tee of umpires. At the appoint ed time the race began, and away hobbled the men. One old fellow, however, did not seem to be affected by the tortures which the peas inflicted on the others, and he walked past the winning post far ahead of the rest. On being complimented by a friend and asked how he managed to beat so many younger men, he replied : "Well, you see, I took the precau tion to boil them peas!" ' PLAYED PART IN REVOLUTION Last of "Signal Trees" Near the Val - ley Forge Camp of Washington Recently Removed. With the removal recently of an ancient chestnut at Strafford, Pa., there disappeared one of Chester county's notable landmarks. It was the last of a score or more "signal trees" used during the Revolution as observation posts by soldiers guard ing the approaches fb the camp of the '.ragged continentals" at Valley Forge. These trees, the tallest in the forests, were scattered over what ls now the upper end of the fashionable main line. Platforms were built In their tops and there, day after day, lookouts watched the roads and the activities of marauding bands of Redcoats and Tories over the countryside. Warn ing of the approach of an enemy j force was given by the observer fir ing his musket. The man in the next signal tree, a mile or more away, would then fire his musket and in this way the news would be carried event ually to Washington's camp. Such was the crude manner of con veying information used by these members of the American army's first "Intelligence service"-a far cry from the elaborate telephone and radio sys tems used on the battlefields of France.

"Seems to me though the puncture proof tire is a little slow in coming along." Hint to Remember. . Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, con gratulated on the marvelous success of his recent foreign tour, said with a smile: ? "We can all get on with foreigners, you know, if we will remember not to criticise. A foreigner's country is to him what your family is to you. You will criticise it yourself, but criticism from outside you can't and won't abide. "An American said to an English man one day: "'London's a dull hole.' "'As an Englishman,' said the oth er, T object to that remark. I agree with it, but I object to lt.' " Danger in Uncooked Vegetables.
