THE KINSHIP OF SOUL AND  SEA
There Is a rumor among phllologifiU that the word Soul is akin to the word Sea. Both had, it is suspected, the aame word-grandfather away back in the time when Greece was young.
I can believe it. Certain it Is that nothing in nature looks so much like a soul as the ocean or the broad sheen of a lake.
A landscape without water, without at least a Jewel-pond or necklace-brook, to set It ofT, Is as a body without a spirit, or a face without an eye.
I love to go down to the edge ot Lake Michigan, near¬ by which I am now living, and read the dally chapters In Its Book of Revelation.
The waters reach out to the horlion, and marry the sky behind a bridal veil ot mist.
Here I find Infinity, the teel ot It. Here U the velvet touch ot mystery. Here Is that same teaving. that ceaseless In¬ quietude, that I find within me. Here U one hour a happy sparkle In the sun; and the next, a yellow, muddy duU- ness. Now It Is blue and sweet as love, and again writhing and troubled as Jealousy.
And I know that the water- surface Is but a huge Mirror, and does but repeat the moods of the sky. So also my soul, its ways and its changes, does but answer back Humanity and the Universe.

CHAIN STORES NOT CO-OPERATING WITH THE LOCAL STORES
It was necessary last week for the Merchants Committee of the local Chamber of Commercce to forward a notice to all Nazareth stores. In¬ forming them that the local chain stores did not adopt the local sched¬ ule of evening and closing. It was also learned that, the Chamber of Commerce had not received a reply to letters addressed to these chain stores regarding this schedule and asking their cooperation.
While this delay may only be temporary, nevertheless, it is through the chain stores that no definite schedule can be followed at this time.
The following notice was forward¬ ed to every store of the Borough:
"To the business people ot Nasa¬ reth and vicinity who signed In good faith the schedule of store hours. At our recent meeting we adopted a Standard Schedule of opening and closing hours of our stores to which jail merchants had pledged them¬ selves to co-operate. I    Upon inquiring and Investigation
It has been developed that the Chain Stores. A. & P. Tea Company and American Stores Co. maintain that they are unable to co-operate with the independent merchants and three independent merchants have broken their pledges. Since these above mentioned will not co-operate with the conscientious merchants the latter group feel that the agreed schedule of hours shall not be ob¬ served until such time that the non- co-operative will co-operate with the 97% loyal merchants. The Com¬ mittee feels that under the circum¬ stances the independent merchants can co-operate with each other only upon a standard closing time of 5.30 P. M.. tor each day and 9 o'clock P. M. on Saturday.
The Independent merchants can feel much encouraged by the splen¬ did co-operation shown on their part and It Is with regret that the Committee has been called upon to abandon what seemed to be an ac/ ceptable schedule.

This desire of the Government to immediately stimulate employment is not reflected by all state govern¬ ments and Pennsylvania in particul¬ ar, according to Peter Klein. Presi¬ dent of the Pennsylvania Through Highway Association, who sees, des¬ pite the solicitude of Governor Pin¬ chot for the unemployed, little if any progress being made toward getting men back to work.
Road building is one method bv wliich large numbers can be qu.ckly employed. Realizing this, the Gov¬ ernment made a specific grant of $400,000,000 to states, and Pennsyl¬ vania on Julv 1, had $18,891,000 Fed¬ eral funds available for road and .street construction. Not one cent of this money to date has been put to work, and few men. If any. have been added to payrolls.
