SURELY MAN’S GOLDEN AGE
The
How much should I give to make this a better world? A CERTAIN man in New York filled om his income tax report. It showed an income so large that his tax was 53 p l. And his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $148. Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do b: tter than that; but not sc very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is - 1»*ss than we spend for daily papers ■—less than a local telephone call — less than a third of the day’s car fare —less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80, of the ministers of America are paid less thtm $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,0C0 people. No wonder that every church board anct charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It isn’t because we are selfish; it isn’t because we don’t want to help. It’s just becaus..' no cno ha; ever pat up a great big program to us, and a^'ied us to think cf the work of the church in a systematic businerslike wav. The Interchurch World Movement represents t;;e united program cf thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have dene it better. They have budgeted their need?: r.o busin ss cor.lo have a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the possibility oi waste and duplication. At least a million dollars will bo t aved by the fact th it thirty individual campaigns are ]ou.edin one united tliort. And they come to the men or women who love America - to you — this week asking you to use them us the channel through which a certain definite part of your income can be be applied to make tins a better world. Only you can determine what part of your income that should be. It's a good time right now to answer that question. We’re passing through the world just once; how much better will the world be because you passed through?
As W. D. Howells Writes of It, the Eest Years Are Between Fifty and &ixty. After 01 one must not take ton many rim heps with oneself, hut I should say thin the (ridden age of tnntl Is between mi mid 00. when one may safely take them. One has peace then I'rotn the different passions; if one has been loleraldy Industrious one Is tolerably prospermia; one has fairly learned one's trade nr has mastered one’s art; age seems as far nff as youth : one Is not so much afraid of death as earlier; one likes joking as much as ever and loves beauty and truth ns much; family cares are well out of the way; if one has married timely one no longer nightly walks the floor with even the youngest child; the marriage ring is then a circle half rounded In eternity. It Is a blessed (line; It is. indeed, the golden age, and no age after it is more than silvern, writes \V. O. Howells in Ham-
per's.
The best age after It tuny he that between Srt and SO, but one cannot make so sure of OO as of TO In the procession of years, ami that Is where the gold turns silver. But silver is one of the precious metals, too. and it need not have nny alloy of the baser ones. 1 do not say how it will he in the years between 00 and 100. I am not yet confronted with that question. Still, all Is not gold between 80 and 00. us It Is between 50 and 00. In Hint time. If one has made oneself wanted in the world, one Is still wanted ; but between 80 and 00. If one Is still wanted, is one wanted ns much ns ever? It is n painful question, but one must not shirk It. and In trying for the answer one must not do less than one’s utmost, at a time when one’s utmost will cost more effort than before. Tlds is a disadvantage of living so long, but we cannot change the conditioning if we wish to live. There is always the question whether one does wish to live, hut for the aver- [ ngely happy or unhappy man. I should say yes. yes. yes. We would ignore the fact that there are some men so unhappy beyond the vast average that they cannot wish to live. These kill themselves hut. speaking without statistics, I do not believe these are often people of 80 nnd after. Apparently life is seldom so unbearable with these that j one almost never hears of their suicide Wanted Help. I.ittle Bobby bad been learning his Sunday school lesson and was very much Impressed with the Idea of the omnipresence of Ood. A few nights Inter his mother asked him to bring her a bottle of milk from the back
porch.
“Me can't," Bobby demurred. “All dark out there.” “But you're not afraid to go anywhere. Hobby,” she reasoned. “You know Cod won't let anything hurt
you.”
"Is God out there on the porch In the dark?” queried Bobby. “Certainly he is. Didn't you learn that God was everywhere?” Cautiously Bobby opened the -loor a few Inches and pet ring out. called: “God, will you please hand me that milk bottle out there?”—Everybody's Mugnr.lne.

-MEMORY” TREES GOOD IDEA
Many Are Being Planted to Commemorate the War Service* of Americans in the Great War. A good many trees hnve been planted here and there over the country j by way nt memorializing American sol- j •tiers who gave up their lives in the war. Mostly they are for Individuals —a single tree set in a place somehow associated in his lifetime with the one who Is gone. A number of groves or parks nnd stretches of roadway are planned, however, where trees are to tie planted In groups or In rows In honor of the fallen ones of certain. conimnuirlea. They call them "uiem-. ory trees," which Is a good name. j Of the single trees an Illustration Is one planted by pupils of the Force school in Washington, which was at- [ tended hy Quentin Koosevelt when he was a young boy. He was the only former pupil to lose his life In the world war. A committee of 12. formed by appointment of a member from each class, will have the care of the tree; as each member graduates from his class he appoints a memher from the Incoming class to take bis place. Thus there will always lie a committee at the school to look after this tree.

WHEN MULE WAS A NOVELTY
Excess of Oil Production. Conditions in Oklahoma when the great Cushing poo! came in Illustrated another aspect i> f the oil situation. The flush production, for a time was far In eyi-ess of storage and transportation facilities, so that oil was stored on the ground, he!:hid earthen dikes, and run nto dry creeks that were diimined up to form reservoirs. I-'i-oiii sheer cm css of production over local demand, the price fell to 4U cents a barrel, not because that was ,he value of the oil to the refinery at Chicago or itaioiinc. but because there was no way at the time to get It there, ami new wells were corning 111 by the dozen dny after day.- Bay Mi rrls In the World's Work.
Sent as a Precent to George Washing ton. It Created Something of a Sensation Here. The first mule seen in this country was sent to George Washington by ttie king of Spain. The mule mens tired 15 bands high, and his ears were 14 Inches long. His disposition was so ungrateful that General Washington remarked on the beast’s Inability to upprerlnte "republican enjoyment." The mule was given much publicity. Washington sent him out on n tour of the South, where his long ears, peculiar voice and strange appearance drew large crowds and created much excitement. The attention lavished upon the mule forced the keeper to hurry him from place to place at such a pace that the animal reduced considerably. Washington having been shocked with his condition upon his reappearance In Mount Vernon. It Is said that Washington looked forward to producing a breed of mules suitable to draw the family carriage, hut history does not record whether the first president carried out this plan. He was. however, at all times very enthusiastic over mules, nnd commented upon them In glowing terms as an excellent race of animals.
