What do you most abhor? Upon whom or what is your deepest hatred centred? Stop and think and when you have pondered' well, ask yourself if you have tried to understand your opponent. A man and a woman, who all their lives had stood at the two extremes of the social balance, approached each other a few days ago and, after a half hour’s talk, each was astonished to find {hat they were in agreement upon practically all of the questions brought up. The man was John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and the woman’, “Mother” Jones, the labor leader. “He has been misunderstood. No one has wronged him more than I have, said Mother Jones after the interview- “I. found that her mind is remarkably clear. She knows a great deal bout these matters that I do net On all matters which we discussed we were in agreement,” said Mr. Rockefeller. Who would have thought it probable that two such statements ever would be made —by two such • people? But these two people met and each discovered that the other was a human, being* far less unreasonable and menacing than the other supposed. Misunderstanding is caused by that aloofness which has, all these years kept Mother Jones, and John D. Jr. far apart. Hatred, emnity, and misunderstanding vanised with a half hour’s conversation. Each saw the other’s view-point and each realized that the other was working toward the very same end, but along another route. It is more than likely that all of us who differ on questions of politics, religion, and social questions r would be truly happier if we could lay aside our prejudices and get together for a half an hour with our dearest enemies,—if we could only understand the other fellow’s fellow’s viewpoint. To do this we must cast out the devil of fanaticism just as Mother Jones and John D. Jr. did—and in its place let enter a spirit'which will keep whispering in our ears the words of the Golden Rule.

WAR CAUSED FIRST VALENTINE I It Was at the battle of Agincourt | in 1415 that Charles, duke of Orleans, was taken after a fierce - charge in a vain attempt to retrieve the French fortunes of the day, and for twenty-five years thereafter he :i remained a prisoner in the Tower | "of London until ransomed for r 300,000 crowns by Philip the Good of Burgundy. In order to relieve - the tedium of his long confinement the captive duke composed about sixty love poems, which, tradition asserts, were the first valentines ever penned. BIRDS OF A FEATHER I e • A Current newspaper item is as follows; “The wife of a Methodist minister in West Virginia has been married three times. Her maiden name was Partridge, her first husband was named Robins, htr second Sparrow, the present Quale. There are now two young robins, one sparrow and three little quales in the family. One grandfather was a Swan and another a Jay but he’s dead now and a bird of Paradise. They live on Hawk Avenue, Eagleville, Canary Island and the fellow who wrote this is a Lyre and a relative of the family.” EVERYBODY’S VALENTINE To you—somewhere. Here—there— Roses may bloom around you, Maybe snow has found you On land—at sea— You don’t know me, Nor do I But felling blue I pen this line To those who have no valentine! ■■■ WE WON’T WEAR ’EM Fashion experts at Milwuakee, last week, decreed that men to be in style must wear form fitting pants.

REVIVAL CREATING NOGHbOMIIEIir Rev. Hornaday Succeeds In Arousing Syracuse People To Interest The M. E. Church is undergoing now what is probably the most talked of revival in the historv of the church. Rev. B. F. Hornaday, the evangelist, who is conducting the meetings is a fearless speaker and is telling his large"\audiences many things and whether they like the utterances or not does not concern him as long as he makes his point. Revivals in Syracuse in the past several years have been rather tame affairs and usually confined in interest to single churches. The present one, however, is creating mych interest in all denominations and (the church is crowded with from two to four hundred people every night. Prayer-meetings are held in the mornings at various residences throughout the town and services are held at the church in the afternoon. Over fifty conversions have been made and it is expected that the meetings will continue this week and next and possibly longer. Miss Hazel Searfoss, Miss Marry Miles, Sam and James Searfoss took dinner Friday at the Ed. Miles home at Lake Papakeetchie. They were accompanied home by Mrs. Sam Searfoss and son who had been visiting there. High School Defeated The Syracuse City team defeated the high school, Tuesday night, by a score of 14 and 10. Etna Green, who tied Warsaw, for the county championship will play here Friday night. No Bids Received No bids were received for the Wawasee Inn at the receiver’s sale which was to have been held in Warsaw, Monday. A. A- Rasor, receiver, who was in Syracuse, Tuesday, stated that the property would probably be reappraised nex: week and a new sale date set. I: was generally considered that tho appraised value, $28,200, is too high and it is reported that an offer of $25,000 will be made if the appraisement is brought that low. Under the law, the purchase price must not be less than the appraisement. The total debts of the Inn Co., including a bond issue will aggregate nearly $50,000. Christmas Ship Message The arrival of the Christmas ship in Dublin which was a part of the cargo of the ship, Jason, is described in the Irish Times. The paper among other things said that many of the gifts were accompanied by childish letters and mentions one from a Syracuse, Ind., giU which read: “I wish I could do something more to help you.” I hope the things I sent will be of some use to you.” Who knows who wrote this letter? Want Donations Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, asks that school children -over Indiana donate toward the relief fund for children in the countries now at war. The state department has given SSO. If each school child in the state will give a penny, a sum in excess of $5,000 will be raised. There are about 505,000 school children in the state. • James Eberhart Dead James Eberhard, who last summer built such a fine new cottage on the south shore of Lake Wawasee, died with heart trouble last week. He was a millionaire and connected with the Mishawaka Woolen Co. He frequently visited Syracuse during the past summer and the large brown auto in which he rode atracted considerable attention. He weighed 350 lbs. Revivals At Milford Revival services are being held at Milford. Rev. DeLosier is conducting the services. —GERBELLE and NEVER FAD. are the happy results of good milling. .

I SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson Vll.—Frst Quarter, For Feb. 11, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson. I Sam. iii, 1-13, 19. 20—Memory Vereee, 8, 9—Golden Text, I Sam. iii, 9—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. What a specially great lesson this is for boys, with something for every one, young and old. In all Scripture there is a message from the heart of God to each individual heart that reads. It is true always, as in the last verse of our lesson chapter, that the Lord reveals‘Himself by His word. The Scriptures are the revelation of God to man. and the Lord Jesus Christ is the Living Word, in whom we see the Father, even as He said. “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father” (John xlv, 9). Our lesson opens with Samuel ministering unto the Lord. See also chapter 11, 11, 18. This is not the word which is translated to “minister in the priest’s office,” but the word to serve or minister, as when Joshua ministered |o Moses (Ex. xxxlll, 11; Josh. 1, I). Even a child can serve Him who came not to be ministered unto, but to minister (Matt xx, 28). May we always be able to say from the heart “Whose I am and whom I serve,” and count it our highest privilege to minister unto Him (Acts xxvii, 23; Luke vili. 8; Dan. vi, 16). In the revised, version the words “precious” and “open” are In the margin “rare” and “frequent,” and the meaning probably is that any special message from the Lord was of rare occurrence or It had been some time since He had spoken. The book of Judges ended with every man doing right In his own eyes (xxl, 25), and now Ell, the priest of the tabernacle, which was then at Shiloh (L 3; Josh. XYlil, 1, 10), was somewhat out of fellowship, for he mistook broken hearted, praying Hannah for a drunken woman and did not control his own sons, honoring them above God, so that a man of God had to come to him with a reproof and a warning (1, 12-16; IL 27-36). Before we consider the call of Samue 1 In our lesson let us look at the circumstances of his birth. His father, Elkanah, seems to have been a devout man, going up from year to year to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts In Shiloh (1,3). But he had two wives, which was contrary to God’s original arrangement and always brought trouble. Hannah, who bad no children, was continually taunted by the other, her adversary, provoked sore and made to fret and grieve (1, 4-8). Her refuge was prayer unto the Lord,, and He heard her and gave her this son Samuel (1. 10-20). She called him Samuel because she asked God for him (1, 20, margin), ■nd when . him she took him to Shiloh" to serve the Lord in the tabernacle with Eli, visiting him from year to year when she went up to worship and taking him a little coat 0, 24-28; li. 18, 19). The Lord abundantly rewarded her for the gift of her firstborn, for He gave her five others, three sons and two daughters (11, 20, 21). So Samuel grew before the Lord and was in favor both with the Lord and also with men, and the Lord was with him, and all Israel knew that he was established to be a prophet of the Lord (IL 21, 26). How beautifully the Lord did bless the boy who was dedicated to Him even before his birth, and how grandly He did reward his mother and cause her to forget her misery and sing for joy! Her song in chapter 11, 1-10, which Is also called a prayer. Is one of the most beaiitiful on record. Returning to our lesson story, we read that one night, or perhaps toward the dawn (verses 2,3, 15), Samuel heard some one call him, and, supposing It to be Ell, he ran to him, but, on being assured that EU bad not called him, he lay down again. The second time he heard his name and went again to Ell, but was assured as before. Not until he heard his name the third time and for the third time went to Eli with the words “Here am I” did Eli perceive that the Lord was calling the child. Then he said to him, “If you are called again say, ‘Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.”’ For the fourth time the Lord called him and this time mentioned his name twice—- “ Samuel, Samuel.’’ I have found only seven people in the Bible who were thus addressed, and there must be some significance in it, whether we can see it or not. Look them up and ponder the circum-1 stances prayerfully. On hearing this’ fourth call Samuel replied as Ell | taught him, and then the Lord gave t to Samnel the solemn message for Ell, j which he faithfully repeated to him In ( the morning, telling him every whit' and hiding nothing from him. It is' doubtful if either of them slept again { that night Samuel had his first message directly from, the Lord, and Eli was no doubt wondering what it; could be. They each had enough to think about Samuel from this time onward seems to have had always an ear for God. Note the peculiar language of I Sam. ix, 15, and may we all have similarly anointed ears to heat His voice. Ell saw the justice of it all, remembering no doubt the words of the man of God in chapter ii, 27. and he submissively said: “It is the Lord. Let Him do what seemeth Him good” | (verse 18).

MIE INCREASE . NECESSARY ■' «» FARMERS’ UNION OFFICIALS THINK RAILROADS ARE ENTITLED TO MORE REVENUE. Products of Plow and Farmer Who Lives at Home Should Be Exempt From Increase. By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The recent action of the Interstate Commerce Commission in granting an increase in freight rates in the eastern classification of territory; the application of the roads to state and interstate commissions for an increase in rates, and the utterances of President Wilson on the subject bring the farmers of this nation face to face with the problem of an increase in freight rates. It is the policy of the Farmers' Union to meet the issues affecting the welfare of the farmers squarely and we will do so in this instance. The transportation facilities of the United States are inadequate to effectively meet the demands of commerce and particularly in the South and West additional railway mileage is needed to accommodate the movement of farm products. If in the wisdom of our Railroad Commissions an increase in freight necessary to bring about an jjatfrovement in our transportation service, and an extension of our mileage, then an ihcrease should be granted, and the farmer is willing to share such proportion of the increase as justly belongs to him, but we have some suggestions to make as to the manner in which this increase shall be levied. / Rates Follow Lines of Least Resistance. The freight rates of the nation have been built up along lines of least resistance. The merchant, the manufacturer, the miner, the miller, the lumberman and the cattleman have had their traffic bureaus thoroughly organized and in many instances they have pursued the railroad without mercy and with the power of organized tonnage they have hammered the I life out of the rates and with unrestrained greed they have eaten the I vitals out of our transportation system I and since we have had railroad com- | missions, these interests, with skill . and cunning, are represented at every 1 hearing in which their business is ’ involved. I j The farmer is seldom represented at rate hearings, as his organizations have never had the finances to employ counsel to develop his side of the case and, as a result, the products of the plow bear an unequal burden of the freight expense. A glance at the freight tariffs abundantly proves this assertion. Cotton, the leading agricultural product of the South, already bears the highest freight rate of any necessary commodity in commerce, and the rate on agricultural products as a whole is out of proportion with that of the products of the factory and the mine. We offer no schedule of rates, but hope the commission will be able to give the railroad such an increase in' rates as is necessary without levying a further toll upon the products of the plow. The instance seems to present an opportunity to the Railroad Commissions to equalize the rates as between agricultural and other classes of freight without disturbing the rates on staple farm products. $1.75 at A.

HOW HEAVY ARE YOU?' After the Age of Forty Overweight Affects the Heart. Life insurance statistics show that overweight policy holders very rarely die of old age. For that matter no one ever dies of old age. But overweight persons are apt to succumb to some illness earlier in life than persons of normal weight. A man five feet tall should weigh 115 pounds. A man five feet two inches should weigh 127 pounds. A man five feet four inches should weigh 138 pounds. A man five feet six inches should weigh 144 pounds. A man five f#et eight inches should weigh 155 pounds. A man five feet ten inches should weigh 170 pounds. A man six feet tall should weigh 177 pounds. Between the ages of fifteen and thirty underweight is more important than in middle life. It is often the indication of incipient tuberculosis or some other chronic disease. Os course, it may be a family trait and mean nothing. But when only one member of a family shows underweight the case is one for the family doctor’s observation. Diabetes, tapeworm, chronic appendicitis, anaemia, tuberculosis and other obscure conditions may be expressed almost exclusively by underweight in early adult life. Underweight in individuals up to the age of forty shortens the expectancy of life—that is, insurance companies have found by experience that these individuals do not live as long on the average as do ; persons of normal weight, But after forty the factor of underweight seems to be of little importance. From forty up overweigh t begins to assume the more prominent place. Why is overweight bad? A moderatci amount of excess baggage doesn’t seem to be bad for younger men; in fact, it seems to be a favorable factor. But in men past forty excess weight simply adds to the work of the heart. It stands to reason that if your hear t was made to do the work of a forty horsepower machine in the first place you can’t load on enough for a sixty horsepower machine without causing a breakdown sooner or later. Every time a fat man walks upstairs or lifts himself out of a chair or tears himself away from the dinner table his heart is doing overi work. Both overweight and under-, weight individuals may accomplish ! much through diet. But the first thing necessary is to find out whether any organic disease is the under- j lying cause of the abnormal weight. I —William Brady, M. D. , in Chicago , News.
