¢ 688 ILLS LADDER 4 r psround : hE STAND-PAT LAWMAKERS The real measure of Republican en- thusiasm for the creation of a perma- nent tariff commission and for sched- ule by schediile revision of the tariff is authoritatively disclosed in a little pamphlet recently issued by the American Protective Tariff League. It is entitled ‘‘A Roster of the Sixty- third Congress,”’ ana carriesas a sub- heading the legend, ‘Words of Good Cheer from Prominent Members of Congress.”” In view of the efforts made by Republican leaders in Con- gress many times during this session to have it appear that the Republic- ans really favor a permanent tariff commission, certain declarations of this pamphlet issued by the American Protective Tariff League, together with some of the “words of good cheer from prominemt members of Congress,’’ are peculiarly interesting. : On page 11, there appear the resolu-| tions adopted by the American Pro- tective Tariff Leagme in annual meet-/ ing assembled declaring that ‘‘fair and intelligent adjustment of tariff duties is a practical impossibility when dealing with one schedule at a time’? and that ““we are unable to dis- cover any valid reason for the exis- tence of a permanent tariff board or commission.” ‘The American Protec- tive Tariff League earnestly mrges ‘‘thafthe responsibility for tariff leg- jslation remains wholly with the Congress of the United States.” Then follows, on pages 14 to 23, a selection from the words of good cheer receiv- ed by the League in the form of letters from various stand-pat statesmen. These letters include cheering words from Senators Gallinger, of New Hampshire; Warren of Wyoming; Smoot, of Utah; Penrose, of Penn- syivania; Bradley, of Kemtucky; and Sherman, «of Illinois; the last of whom has been industriously emdeavoring to create the impression that he is a progressive. Mr. Sherman defines the character of his progressivism by saying, ‘On the issues joined upon the legislation of the tariff now pend- ing, the:services of your League are and willbe especially valuable. There are also.given in this interesting pam- phlet letters from such eminent sup- porters of the Republican death-bed advocacy of a tariff eommission as former speaker Canon. Thus the truth about the Republican attitude toward a permanent tariff commission is officially set forth with the high sanction of the American Protective Tariff League. STOYESTOWN. WOMEN & PAINT FENCE. Three women, a committee of the Stoyestown W. C. T. U.,on Thursday with paint and brushes ‘finished the the task begun by the organization some years ago for the saving of the saving of the ancient cemetery,on the western edge of Stoyestown, in which sleep the pioneers of the community. The painting of the iron fence, which itself was placed around the cemetery by the ladies some time ago, was the final touch to the program of improye- ment making it complete. The finish- ing work of love has put the entire community under a lasting debt of gratitude to the ladies. Their enter- prise has proved to the community moreover, just what energy and com- fort, directed by filial love .and devo- tion, eanbe accomplished in a civie way. Several hundred of the amcestors of persons now living in Stoyestown and surrounding vicinity now sleep in the old God’s-acre. About 49 years ago, when the Odd Fellows established their burying ground, the gradual abandonment of the old cemetery be- gan. As the process became more complete the cemetery began to show the community’s neglect. Brush and trees grew up and clogged the avenues and soon hid the graves. The final mark of decay was the rotting of the fence. = The younger folks of the community did not heed, but the elders had long noted, with regret, the seeming dis- respect shown to the men and women who had settled the town and cleared the wilderness for the habitation of those to come after. Finally, some years ago, the W. C. T. U. collected money and went to work systematical- ly on the saving of the old burying They bad the weeds and brush and saplingscutdown and clear- ed away, reopening the avenues; they straightened up the gravestones, and finally directed the placing of a new iren fence all about the encloseure. Now the painting of the iron fence completes the task and Stoyestown has in its restored cemetery something like a park, pleasant to look upon so far as concerns walks and grass and trees in proper places, and the senti- ment of respect for the departed is given new voice and expression. The ladies who had charge of the fence painting job as a committee of the local W. C. T. U. are Mrs. Herman Berkley, Mrs. J. Parke Ober, and Mrs. George Stahl.

In order to throw every safeguard around the workmen employed on. its Magnolia cut-off improvement under construction between Orleans Road and Little Caseapon, W. Va., the B. & O. R. R. has placed patrolmen on the work to assist in keeping the acci- dents down to a minimum number This is a new departure in railroad construetion work and was undertaken in acordanee with the company’s pol- icy of safety. The Magnolia improvement is 11 miles in length and the patrolmen have been plaeed about a mile apart, being responsible for designated terri- tory, the same as the city police offi- cer. The patrolmen are members of the railroad police force and wear reg- ulation uniforms. The Manolia im- provement is one of the largest engin- eering jobs undertaken in the East, in- volving the buiiding of two additional tracks as a part of the B. & O’s. plan calling for a four-track line east of Cumberland. Because of the character of the work, a force of 5,000 workmen are engaged hewing away the moun- tains and building a low grade line. Most of the laborers are foreigners who do not understand Engish, and this is chiefly the reason why the patro- lemen were placed on duty. The patrolmen are watcing the cuts tunnel borings and other heavy engin- eering work in an effort to keep the men from getting hurt and instructing the forces that are employed about the machinery. The officers also keep trespassers off the work and protect the laborers against robbery and other acts of sharpers. As a further precaution against acci- dent, the B. & O. have placed numer- ous warning signs along the improve- ment, cautioning the men to keep clear of the railroad tracks and telling them how to handle machinery, tools, etc. The signs are printed in several fore- ign languages and in addition to this the foremen employed by the contrac- tors are instructing the workmen as to the avoidance of accident. Paths have been laid out for use of the work- men in getting about on or near the cut-off without danger of being struck by passing trains. The laborer’s camps are of the mest modern design, the contractors and the railroad company having made every effort to provide them with com- fortable quarters and wholesome food. The camps are really settlements re- sembling small towns. The contract- ors, their officials and families have their own houses. etme te Can’t look well, eat well, or feel well with impure blood.

SELLERS, Director of Even- ing Department The Moody Bible In- stitute of Chicago.) ~~ LESSON FOR AUGUST 24. THE BREAD OF HEAVEN. LESSON TEXT—Ex. 16:2-15. GOLDEN TEXT-—“Jesus saith unto them, I am the bread of life.””—John 6:35. The Psalm of praise (Ex. 15) is fol- lowed by the sorrows of sin. After leaving the bitter waters of Marah (18:23-26) the Israelites encamped for a time at Elim (v. 27). They then en- tered the wilderness of sin (16:1). This name is certainly suggestive for it was the sin of unbelief that lay be- hind their murmurings. I. Despair, vv. 2, 3. We sometimes censure the Israelites for their com- plaining within a month after their miraculous deliverance from the Red Sea, but if we examine ourselves closely we will not be surprised at their lack of faith nor at the Savior's delight when he discovered faith (Luke 7:9). Their song, Chapter 15, of deliverance has scarcely died on their lips when a new danger con- fronts them, viz. that of privation. How many today fail at just this point, and think only of the “flesh-pots.” They complained more over the priva- tions of God’s service than over the slavery of Pharaoh, though as a mat- ter of fact the man in Egypt does not have “bread to the full.” John 4:13, Eccl. 1:8. Truly Moses and Aaron had a task on their hands for “the ‘whole congregation murmured.” : They ‘had to bear the brunt of it all for they ‘were God’s visible representatives (Ps. 69:9; Rom. 15:3). Human na- ‘ture is ever the same. Rather to die by the hand of Pharaoh with a full stomach than to live which was accomplished by any priva- tions. The trouble was that having everything done for them they lacked that moral backbone, that fixedness of | | | | in a freedom | Condensed Report of the Condition of the Second National Bank of Meyersdale, Pa., At the Close of Business August 9, 1913.

August 19—Late summer shopping offers great possibilities for practical economies to the woman who must select her daughters outfit early to be in readiness for the school open- ing. v Left over summer dresses if be- coming and not too mussy answer perfectly for the fussy frocks that will be worn at informal entertain- ments, and if one is near the larger cities it is possible to find advance models in suits and furs at more reasonable figures than prevail at the height of the season. HOME MAKING. With the help of a house dressmak- er, or without, if a woman is pos- sessed of the knack, quite up-to-date frocks, blouses and fixings can be readily turned out at home, if a a | wise selection is made of reliable well cut patterns. It is wonderful how many variations can be made in one purpose, which a great principle in-| model by minor changes in trim- spires and moves men to suffer and to mings, buttons, overcome.

He met their bitter iery with a hounteous provision of ‘bread. That they might know it was [he who provided, God said “I will rain bread from heaven.” But to guard against oriental improvidence or ex- ‘cess, they were directed to gather a :day’s portion for the day (v. 4 marg.) This provision was also to be a test ito see if they would obey him, “walk in my law, or no.” Some of them failed at the very first, and that which ‘they attempted to keep over spoiled, see vv. 19, 20. To hoard is to lose, to! “use is to increase, Prov. 11:24, 25. To hoard wealth, whether it be tem- poral or spiritual, is to distrust God, and it was this very distrust which God was combating. It was a super- natural gift and was a type of Christ, John 6:31-33, 35. The manna sustain- ed life for a day at a time; he, Christ,’ sustains forever, John 6:58. Notice, God did not place the manna in their mouths, each must gather, appro- | |of so many attractive children of this generation. Loose, easy fitting priate, for himself, so also must they | who feed on the bread of life, Christ | Jesus, and as they were to gather daily, so also must we feed anew each day on Jesus, Matt. 6:11. Visible Proof. That the Israelites might realize fully that Moses and Aaron were not working some trick of necromancy, or taking advantage of some botanical or ornithological knowledge of the coun- try, God revealed to all, at the break! of day, his glory, v. 10; and that their descendants might see and know of God’s marvelous goodness and deliv- erance, they were commanded to fill a vessel with manna as a visible con- vincing proof (v. 32). Nor did this supply fail as long as it was needful, v. 85, Phil. 4:19. 3 11l. Delight, vv. 11-16. What emo- tions must have filled the hearts of the Israelites when at evening they bekeld the quails and in the morning the manna. The mighty God who | garments are most becoming, prac- | tical and modish whatever the type of the wearer, and though skirts | remain narrow at the foot, there is nothing tight about th. lines from | the knee up. BLOUSES, Blouses and dress waists of all sorts jare decidedly baggy—and all the variations rung on these indispensa- ble fixings during the summer are re- peated in Fall and Winter models. The Balkan blouse with its tight strap about the hips is to continue and will be worn in silk, woolen and corded velvet models as well as in the heavier cottons that haye been so much employed for it by the | girlish contingent this summer. A NEW COTTON. A famous Fifth Avenue shop de- voted to children’s clothes uses great quantities of the new Renfrew Devanshire cloth for Balken blouses and for its best grade frocks and boys suits’ suits, since this material has proved exceptionally satisfac- tory to its discriminating patrons. Dyed in the yarn and woven with the greatest skill, this 32 inch cot- ton cloth, closely resembles linen in firmness and finish but does not crush as readily, dnd is so durable chat it outwears Galatea. One can find it wherever an up-to-date stock of wash fabrics is shown, in an al- most endless variety of stylish pat- terns and colorings. All tub-proof ‘brought them out of Egypt has again | shown his power. The manna was to teach them that “man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord,” Deut.8:2, 3. Do not lose time ‘speculating upon what the manna was like, simply read vv. 14-37 and Num. 11:7, 8. Strangely enough not all were satisfied with the bread from heaven (Num. 21:5) but they had to eat it or die. Some cried out for the food of Egypt, (Num. 11:5, 6) even as today some who profess to be Chris- tians are not satisfied with Christ. As against these feelings of delight there must have been a sense of rebuke (v. 9) when God through Aaron com- manded the Israelites to “come near before the Lord.” IV. The Teaching. The gift of the manna taught the Israelites that they ‘must depend upon God. Man not only ‘needs spiritual relationship but mate- ‘rial sustenance for the maintenance of his life. The words of the golden text were spoken in connection with our Lord's feeding the multitude. He is able to ‘provide for the physical, and also to satisfy the deepest spiritual needs of all who put their trust in him. “It is usually not so much the greatness of our trouble as the little- ness of our spirits which makes us ad | complain.”—Jeremy Taylor. the same which is printed on the sel- vage, new goods being given for any piece that fails to meet the se- verest test of sun or laundering. FASHION AND HYGIENE. Fashion and Hygiene unite in en- dorsing wash frocks for the school room and economy and common sense commend their popularity for year-round wear, in these time when rather overheated rooms are the rule in winter and warm outer garments give all needed protection outdoors. Another sensible idea that seems to be gaining adherents in the use of ‘‘Slicker’’ hats worn with long rain- coats by both school girls and boys, which afford perfect protection and do away with the need of the um- brells, so apt to be lost or stolen.
