Charles Stelzle \What became of the carpenters who built Noah’s ark? : They made a safe exist for Noah and his big family when the flood came, but they went down in the sea themselves. And in this regard they are like some twen- tieth century workers—those who erect church buildings and even those who build church organi- zations. There are plenty of folk who imagine that be- cause they have put a nickel—or a million dollar check—into the collection basket that this act opens the gate to glory to them. : * To such we’d suggest: Remember Noah’s car- penters! And there are others who have actually been the means of leading many clear up to the king- dom gate—and yet they will remain outside. The fear expressed by one of the greatest preachers in sacred history was that after he had saved countless others, he himself might be a “cast-away.” “Many shall say unto me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils and in thy name do many wonderful works?” once said the Great Judge. > -And this will be his answer, “I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” ‘ “It isn’t DOING that gets a man into the “glory gate”—whatever or wherever that may be—it’s BEING. It isn’t WHO. you are—it's WHAT you are. The kingdom of God is built upon, the basis of what the WEAKEST man may become—not the STRONGEST. ce eeee ees G1:20 peateose courage. THE HANDY MAN Here’s to the handy man around the house— the hubby who answers with glad yelps of pleasure when there is a leak in the plumbing, who rushes with seraphic joy to the aid of his spouse when the kitchen range goes out and who is always rigging up this, that or the other thing to be of alleged assistance and constant help’ to ‘the best little wife in the world. Here’s to the handy man, long may he wave his hammers and saws aloft and “fix” the shelves in the pantry while wifey, in great perturbation, awaits the sound of broken glass and listens for his fall from the stepladder. Long may he do things to the wiring of such a mysterious nature that even the best electricians in the city scratch their heads in dumb amazement when they are called upon to set the place right again. Long may he potter about the cellar, spending weeks in con- triving arrangements which will save an hour a year in getting the coal into the bin or in removing the ashes from the furnace. i What is home without a handy husband? Imag- ine how gloomy the dining room would look with- out his tools scattered here and there on the table and chairs. How sad the kitchen utensils would appear without his bits of soldering holding them together. How lonesome the whole home would seem without his quaint appliances staring one in the face in unexpected places. Here’s to the handy man around the house— he’s a snare and a delusion and a pest and a nuis- ance as a general rule, but he is good for one thing —he gives his wife something definite to brag about to those other wives whose husbands always spend their evenings at the club instead of in the bosom of their own homes being handy about the house. Putting up a front isn’t necessary after one arrives at the front. \ Sergeant York deserves well-of fame, unless some publisher persuades him to write a book. We are always glad to'‘listen to a knocker if he can suggest something better to take the'place of what he is knocking. Booze was doomed when men stopped using the argument that it is sinful and began to prove that it interferes with business. His manners and clothes are better, but under the skin man is much the same creature he was before he learned’ to cook his food.

Five milk goats gvie as much milk as a big cow, and their feed costs a third as much. Five milk goats give as much milk as a big from it sells for $1 a pound, and more demand than cheese, No better butter is made than that from goat’s milk. A goat is a cow wrapped up in hand size pack- age. + Ra a Almost any suburban family can pasture a goat; few can maintain a cow. The goat gives about the quantity of milk needed by the average family, and its feed prob- lem will never harass the family purse. Likewise the milk of the goat is the ideal food for babies, and many a child that can be nourished on no other food is saved by goat’s milk. As an indication that the housewives are dis- covering some of those things we note that a Washington state milk goat breeder recently ship- ped three cars of goats to Portland, Ore., the heart of a great dairy country, and sold the three cars to the women of the city in two days, Even auto tourists find the goat a convenience, Anchor Mrs. Goat in her pen on the trailer, and carry your fresh milk right along with you. But dad’s worn out galluses and ma’s antique corsets are not considered the best maintenance ration for the modern milk goat. A goat will eat anything, if it must, but rich clean food pays in a goat’s system as in a cow’s. The old argument against goat’s milk because of its odor and strong flavor came entirely from the brush*,weeds, and can heaps the goat browsed from. A goat is a genius all right, but even a genius needs something more than an empty cat- sup bottle to build a quart of cream on. Daughter looks her best in gingham, and now that she can pay as much for it as she once paid for silk, she doesn’t mind wearing it on the street. People think the Jap a wonder because he can get a living from an acre of ground., An American could, also, if he could be satisfied with that sort of living. Civilization isn’t entirely faultless when it im- pels us to spend billions for organized slaughter and can’t interest us in a proposition to spend other billions for a national. system of real roads, We try to force our ideals on Europe without proper regard for the fact that the man who owns a 200-acre farm can afford to use better machin- ery than the fellow who gets his living’ from a garden patch. ——— | THE MAN HIGHER UP | {WITH THE EDITORS THE “ONE BIG UNION” The leaders in the American Federation of La- bor have never countenanced the methods which were attempted by the unions in Seattle and which have more recently been employed by the labor organizations in Winnipeg and Toronto, In gen- eral, we believe, the federation is opposed to sym- pathetic’ strikes. It is certainly opposed ‘to the Canadian scheme for one big union. The single union idea runs directly contrary to principles of the Federation of Labor, which is an association of a great number of unions, each rep- resenting a single craft or trade. It is obvious that ‘in “one big union” the basic structure would neces- sarily be changed. The bricklayer, the mechanic, ‘jand the musician would each participate, not as members of separate unions organized to promote their separate and sometimes conflicting inter- ests, but on the common ground of being “work- ers,” whether skilled or unskilled. Such a system apparently involves the unques- tioned submission of the members of every trade to the dictation of the leaders regardless of- the controversy. The general strike would be the rule, not the exception. Weaker labor organizations might perhaps gain a temporary benefit by an amalgamation of this kind, but it is bound to place a heavy burden on the unions that are more favor- ably situated.. Take the case of a union that has established its position and obtained a satisfactory. settlement with the employers. How can such a union fail to suffer by the new arrangement if it is always subject to orders to lay down tools— orders that might be issued, for example, in the interest of a group of unskilled laborers in a dis- tant city? We do not think the average union man in America can view with equanimity the delegation of authority to persons and agencies so far re- moved from his own interests and influence. Just as the average American is not keen to fight for the polyglot races in Europe, Africa, and Asia, so the average union man is not disposed to fight for causes that have little or no relation to his own welfare. But the principle of the sympathetic strike and the “one big union” imposes upon him precisely this responsibility. We think it is safe to say the advocates of the single union do not regard it as an end in itself, but merely as a step on the road to revolution. With_one big union it would be easier in their opinion to overthrow representative democracy GANDELS STILL HOLDTHESTAGE “INU. S.

GAINED TT POUNDS Eate What She Pieases and Sleeps Like a Child Now, Says Minne.- apolis Woman, “| never thought I would let my name. be used in connection with @ medicine, but if it had not been for Tanlac | would still be a sick woman and I feel that I ought to try to help others by telling them about it,” said Mrs. J. F. McKenney, who resides at 3121 Cedar Ave., Minneapolis, Mina, recently, in a statement in which one of the benefits received described is a gain of seventeen pounds. “I had been suffering from stom- ach trouble for five years, she con- tinued, “and had almost despaired of ever getting relief. My appetite was very poor and I always suffered so much pain in my stomach after meais that I had gotten almost afraid to eat anything. My food would fer- ment and the gas from it would press on my heart until I would just. have to fight for breath. I often had nerv- ous, sick headaches and was very dizzy at times. I could hardly ever get a good night’s sleep, was very weak, and always got up in the morn- ings feeling as tired as when I re tired’ at night. In fact, that tired wornout feeling was with me’ all‘ the time and I hardly had strength to do my housework. “Finally I got to taking Tanlac on the advice of my’ daughter in Musko- gee, Oklahoma. She told me of a mia- ister there who said he did not be lieve there was ever a-case of stom- ach trouble Tanlac would not relieve, and the results in my case have con- vinced me that he was right.

I sleep ‘just “like a child every night, get up in the mornings feeling rested and refreshed. “Wien I. began taking Tanlac ' only weighed one hundred and eigh- teen pounds, but I now weigh one hundred and ‘thirty-five, making an actual gain of seventeen pounds.

BRITISH AIRMEN MAKE’ SUCCESSFUL -NON-STOP FLIGHT ACROSS ATLANTIC (Continued from Page One) bruises when the machine landed in a bog. The biplane. was badly damaged. Carry Mail, Features of the trip were the carry- ing of the first mail across the At- |lantic, and two mascots, a dog and a cat. Enthusiasm over the success of the trip had not been accompanied by the minimizing of any of the dangers the airmen encountered. Once, they. said, they were alfmost- plunged into the ocean when their machine wént into a “flat” spin. Early in the flight, radio communi- cation was made impossible. At the same time, Lt. Brown said, a stay wire had been broken. Bad weather per- mitted only three observations for laying the course. Captain Alcock, describing -his ex- periences while flying at 11,000 feet said:. : Covered With Ice. “It was hailing and snowing. The machine become covered with ice by six o'clock in the morning and re- Mained so until on. hour before we landed. My raidator and water indi- cator were covered with ice four. o1 fice hours. \Lt.
