World demand for tin is causing the tin mines of Bolivia to operate to capacity. -:o: A iccent hairdressers convention broke up in a dispute. Splitting of hairs, we ruppose. :oi For the first time in Japanese his tory airplanes took part in the naval maneuvers this year. :o: Now they're showing sandals for men, with fancy strap tops. We'll buy a pair if Senator Borah will. :o: With all these shakups of the pro hibition forces you'd think they'd get their drinks mixed now and then. :o: One of these days a Republican candidate Is going to come right out and refuse to run for the presidency. :o: Of course, we know that a good many of the dogs stray away, but how do all the wrist watches get lost? :o: You can feel sure that winter is at hand. The girls are trying to out strip one another in the matter of clothes. :o: As the bootlegger spake unto the prohibition agent who emerged from hia cellar with a barrel: "Why bring that up!" :o: The few surviving Reds in Italy doubtless get a big kick out of im agining walking the floor with the new duce. :o: Many girls are giving up their 'at tempts to appear boyish, having con cluded, apparently, that they can't fool anybody. :o: Lily-white hands usually are a denial of hard work except when one of them is decorated with an en gagement ring. :o: We're not sure who the next presi dent will be but feel pretty certain the fellow next door with the saxo phone won't make it. :o: There were 5.874 arrests for drunkenness in Washington, D. C, in the last fiscal year. Maybe that's why Secretary Low man thinks prohibition is so hard to enforce inT?ew York state.

ALES Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; but have renounced the .hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in-craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commend ing ourselves to every man's con science in the sight of God (II Cor inthians iv, 1 and 2). Paraphrasing a homely old saying, Let the shoemaker stick to his last, Professor McFadyen, of Glassgow, lately uttered this counsel to young ministers: "People do not care to hear a preacher talk about international af fairs, the stock exchange, or similar matters. They want to hear abo-it religion, in which he is a specialist. ; If a minister discusses secular affairs in the pulpit, there is certain to be' someone in the pews who knows more about the subject than he does." Although that is such sentiment as a Scottish dominie who takes his theology seriously might be expected to utter, it has more than a purely local or even nationalistic applica tion. The Chicago Tribune asserts that the speaker has put his finger on one of the principal reasons why ! so many men of church-going tradi tion and inclination have become backsliders: "They want to hear about religion and they want to hear about it from oi.e who is a specialist in ifligious thought. Religion is not merely a morality, and the profound carvings of the soul for light and comfort ar-? vot to bo sj.t'sncG with discussions vt the moral .poit3 of secular prob lems." Ethical l-p?os drawn fiom the day's news, ai.a'vEee of political de velopments, character studies, and travelers' tales, to be sure, offer a pleasant diversion from a theological fare that has become monotonous and irksome. The enterprising pastor in troduces these subjects to keep his iock interested and the pows filled; he would be much taken back at the suggestion that his course has the op posite effect. Yet the criticism here quoted is pertinent, for many churches and re ligious organizations have been over secularized. In such circumstances there is rst a place of worship, a house of God. Its functions as an ed ucational, social, or even charitable institution should be kept secondary Were tie preacher so full of his subject that he could t!k about nothing else, of course he would not i.eed Dr. McFadyen's advice. If h-? lacks that qualification, might it net be well for lim to put himself thru rigid self-examination, to determine whether he ha.-? missed his calling? The true miiister is a man sent fiom God. A profound conviction that he has beeii impressed into the Divine service mist permeate his be ing. He must bl consecrated not merely thy a trmal ceremony which is "an catward and visible sign of an inrd and spiritual grace" but in ieart and soul. As poets must be hrn and cannot be made, so the id always prevailed that the preache God. must be called of That thought is not usually in terpreted in the tnse that the min ister must feel aipnclination or nat ural fitness for tlj profession such as moved the youth o study law, medi cine, enginceringtnechanics, or avia tion. Rather, tlj aspirant to the ministry must he heard the voice of God in some lore intimate, all compelling way ft Jehovah spoke to the child of Samil.

Eighty-one persons were killed. There would have been many more, only, for the fact that all the department stores had a dol-' lar sale on and a large number from the tornado district was attending this sale. j The property loss is estimated at 510,000,000. The final totals of death and destruction may far exceed those figures. It is a dreadful disaster ! visited upon the city in a few min-' utes of terifying fury. j There is no time now . to contem-, j 'ate the grief and ruin. Now is the lime for action "Dollars are the im- mediate need," as Mayor Miller said ir. his statement. The Post-Dispatch subscribes $5,000 to the relief fund.; We know, too, that every other busi- ness house in the city will promptly respond, and every citizen, according to his means. The city has already acquitted it self finely in the bitter test of the first hours of this calamity. The Po lice Department met the crisis with vigor and adequacy, the Red Cross was similarly capable. The state mil itia is on guard, under Gov. Baker's orders. But the great work of re habilitation which must at once be undertaken calls for the best we can muster the most generous contribu tions of money, energy and time. The need of the bereaved and homeless is a challenge to everyone of us. St. Louis has proved itself on many an occasion of necessity. St Louis will probe itself now. The spirit, the capacity, the humanitari- anism this city has them all. Forward. St. Lcuis.

Dr Morales em phasized the importance of the Pana ma Canal to the world trade and said that it was the duty of Panama "to permit this natural right of way to be used on a footing of absolute equality by all rations without hin drance or obstruction." He gave the impression that there is a sovereign ty dispute between Panama and the United State relating to the canal zone and Intimated a. wish to have the matter taken before the World Court. If there is such a sovereignty dis pute, it must exist in the mind of the I'anama representative, for there is no knowledge of it at Washington Neither is the Panama canal a natur al light of way with respect to which Panama has any obligation to the world. It is an artificial right of way, constructed by the United States and under the control of this country, which the character and amount of investment require. The treaty states that "Panama grants to the United States in perpetutity the use, occupation, and control of the zone of land and land under water for the construction, maintenance, operation, sanitation, and protection of said canal." If Panama politicians have devel oped different ideas 'with respec t to the canal since they have come to know it as a completed and profitable enterprise, they must expect to see these smiled good naturedly away. :o: The Asiatic basis has begun to bother Long Island crops, according to a dispatch. The old world just keeps on sending us one thing or 'an other if it isn't a beetle it's a bottle.

Since the arrival of the derrick and other machinery which will be j used in drilling the test oil well on the E. M. Pollard farm a mile south ! of Nehawka. the men who arrived to j do the drilling are making remark ably fast progress. The derrick and other eauiDment arrived here last Wednesday and it was hauled to the location of the well at once. The transportation was handled by the McMaken trucking firm of Platts mouth, who hauled the heavy pieces and local men with teams and wagons hauled the lighter equipment. The workmen who are to do the drilling arrived here a short time after the derrick from the Oklahoma oil fields and at once started to make ready for the drilling. Wednesday evening saw the high derrick ready for work and it was put up in remarkably short time as it was started Tuesday afternoon. A build ing to house the power plant was erected previous to the putting up of the derrick and other building is fast being accomplished and it is expect ed that the actual drilling will start a week from Saturday. Much prepar atory work is required before the act ual drilling will commence and re quires about two weeks time accord ing to the drillers. At this time the steam engines which are to be used as power have not arrived but they are expected any time. The same applies to the casing which will be used in the well. Six men were working at the place of the drilling operation Wednesday and it is very likely that more men will be here when the drilling Is started. It is said that three shifts of workmen will be at work and that the drilling will go continually from the time the well is started until it is completed. At this time R. B. Stone is the only local man employed at the well. Enthusiasm is now running high here and everyone is anxious to see the work of drilling started. The scene of operations is a very busy place and many visitors are present every day to watch the men at their work. The well is only a very short distance from the highway and the tall derrick is attracting more visi- ors every day. Nehawka Enterprise. MAKES ADDITIONAL DONATION. The Security Benefit association. formerly the Knights and Ladies of Security, one of the live wire frater nal organizations of the city has just increased its former donation of $25 to the Legion community building fund from $25 to $50, turning over a check for the increased sum to the committee yesterday. This is a most appreciated contribution and places the S. C. B. in the front rank of fra ternal societies. Another new contribution yester day was that of Ed Brantner, who purchased several chairs and added a five spot to go to the general build ing fund, while the day before Mrs. E. H. Wescott purchased chairs with a ten spot, turning the $7 change over to the general fund. Henry Nolting, in purchasing sev eral chairs for members of his fam ily also laid down a five spot that he wanted added to his personal contri bution for a like amount made early in the drive.
