MY MOTHER'S SONGS Often and often my thoughts go back, Like wanderers over a time-worn track, To the time when I knelt at moth er's knee, And she sang at the twilight hour to me. Oh, the dear old songs; I can see her eyes Aglow with the gladness of para dise, As 1 fancy she sings in the streets of gold The hymns that she sang in the i days of old. As she sang them over, her face grew bright, As if God's city was just in sight, And she saw the angels and heard them sing, By the great white throne, be fore the King. ' The heavenly song can no sweeter bi Than the songs that my moth ;r made dear to me, And in God's city I hope, some day, To hear them sung in my moth er's way. —E. E. ROXFORD "Paul says to Timothy, and so he says to every preacher, 'Give thyself unto reading.' The man who never reads will never be read; he who never quotes will never be quoted; he who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains, proves that he has no brains of his own." —C. H. Spur geon. DINNER PARTY HONORING MR. AND MRS. B. D. WILSON Mr. and Mrs. Barron Caldwell, of Cliffside, entertained at a de lightful six course dinner on Thursday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. B.

CHINA Last two or three years, we've harbored grave fears—for China. ... In fact we shed tears till they filled up our ears, —for China. . . . We mourned till we're sick, at "The Rape of Shantung" and howled in disgust that the rapers ain't hung, while political bally hoos dolefully sung—of China. vl've figgered myself, that we ort to reform —old China. . . . And I mighty nigh cussed, when - the Jap took a swarm—to China. . . . I pictured the Chink with a foot on his neck, while the ravisher gobbled his little brass check then I sent up a howl, to the echo, by heck, —fer Chiney! Right now —when the mourn ers could bring her relief —old China-T-she ups an' declares she ain't got any grief—dear China! She's gentle, and stupid, and chronic, and stale —she don't mind the crupper that's under her tale, —And the tears we have shed, somehow didn't prevail—in China! SOFT DRINKS POPULAR Washington, D. C., June 15. — America as a nation has acquired the soft drink habit, during the past few years, and the popularity which the public has accorded bot tled carbonated beverages is in a large measure the result of tii recognition of the real merit of the present day beverage, accord ing to Dr. W. W. Skinner, assistant chief of the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry. Dr. Skinner, who is one of the greatest authorities on carbonated beverages in Ihe coun try and who has made an inten sive study of these drinks, stated in a recent address before the American Public Health Associa tion, in New York, it has been es timated that over four billion pint bottles of carbonated beverages, which means more than forty bot tles for every man, woman and child in the country, are consumed annually. "The* development of the bottled carbonated beverage industry in the United States during the past ten or fifteen years has been quite phenomenal," Dr. Skinner contin ued. "The production of bottled carbonated beverages has, indeed, assumed a place of distinct im portance as an industry. The re cent development of the industry in my opinion is largely due to the recognition by the public of the real merit of present day bottled carbonated beverages.
