THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873). America Has Never Been “Licked” — Except by the Flames. How Long Are We Going to Stand for It? It’s Up to YOU. UNDER YOUR FEET Charles Darwin found 53,000 “fishworms” in the aver- age acre of British soil.. The number was around half a million an acre where the soil was exceptionally rich. =: Right now is the busiest season of the year for earth- worms. Wherever the autumn winds are making withered leaves flutter to the earth, our old friend fishworm is drag- ging the dead leaves into his tunnels, there to rot and enrich the soil. Professor J. Arthur Thomson, in “The Outline of Science,” records that, on the average, the fishworms in an acre of ground pass 10 tons of soil through their bodies each year—“and they have been doing this for many millions of years. They cover the surface at the rate of three inches in 15 years, and they are thus continually circulating the soil. An age-long ploughing field, which was so thickly covered with hard flints that it was known as The Stony Fiell, was left untouched for 30 years, after which a horse could gallop from one end to the other without ever sriking a stone.” Darwin wrote this: “The plough is one of the most ancient and most valuable of man’s inventions; but long before he existed the land was, in fact, regularly ploughed by. earthworms. It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the earth as have these lowly organized crea- tures.” The earthworm made life on earth possible for man. We couldn’t continue existing, without its assitance at preparing the soil for the food we eat and for the trees so chemically Necessary in our system of air supply. =: Despite the earthworm’s important function in nature’s scheme of things, a lot of us are surprised to learn that it has a purpose other than to be used as fish bait. IMAGINARY ILLS -:; Patrolman Odell had not worked for three weeks, his Yeft arm being paralyzed. He took his six-year-old grandson for a walk. The lad fell off a pier into the ocean at Glen Island, N. Y. Grandpa forgot he was paralyzed, dived into the water, swam to the boy and saved him. Next day he showed up for work, paralysis cured. Grand- gan’s peril had made him forget it. ~ Power of mind over matter? Partly. Another factor: The emotional shock of seeing his grandson drowning prob- ably over-stimulated his adrenal glands and their sudden activity affected his nervous system in a way to counteract | the paralysis. Take your choice of the two theories. LIFE FORCE = Dorothoy Dodge picked 246 different kinds of wild flowers during the summer, near Haverhill, Mass. A lot of us would have bet there weren’t that many. It illustrates the variety. of ways in which the mysterious force, life, asserts itself. - There are over 200,000 species or groups of insects. They and the wild flowers and man and all other forms of life ate made of practigally the same substances—the elements of earth. The differences are in the life force, invisible, SHORTAGE IS CYCLIC Herbert Spencer. proved that historic events rhythmic motion—travel in cycles. big war about every 50 years. i have a For instance, there’s a Money, it seems, also has cycles.

No one knows why small change suddenly ran short. Probably means that the spending heavily—breaking a lot of bills. ALL DUDES NOW It took 30 years to get rid of the word “dude,” .whereby the cleanly dressed man was frowned upon either as effem- inate or as having a hare-brain. So comments Fred Voiland, president of National Association of Retail Clothiers. * We're all dudes now, on occasion. That ends the ridicule that, shadowed the fancy dresser years ago. The scoffers’ became dudes. Advertising did it. ee NEW CURRENCY ; ‘Fhe bodenmark is Germany’s new currency unit. It’s worth 358 grams of fine gold, backed by mortgages on‘city land; and farms. Money based on land values is something new under the gun., Should make a sound currency system, for “land values” is just another name fer human productiveness.

He had been left all alone in Squealy¢Moo Land for the first time, and he didn’t like, it. His mother had ‘been driv@ off to town by Mrs. Brown to do some LE ‘the other horses were hauling“in logs for the winter. , Frisky played with Crazy Calf for a while, but soon got tired and quit, for Crazy’s name should have been Fraidy, for no matter what happen- ed he kept running to his mother and telling tales. So Frisky wandered around and looked at ‘everything with his great curious eyes and thought what. a queer world it was, “Oh, shucks!” he though. “I guess I'll go over and watch the pigs. Perhaps I'll get an idea,” So he trotted over @n his long legs to the place where the pigs were, and stuck his long nose over the fence. As usual, Twisty Tail and Piggy Wig and Saucy Snout were discuss- ing things to eat. Piggy Wig stuck up for sour milk and Twisty Tail put in a good word for sweet clover, but Saucy Snout said that of all things in this fine world he loved apples the best. “Oh, my!” “he sighed with a loud grunt. “If only I wasn't so fat I could squeeze through that narrow place in the fence and get into the orchard. And I'd eat all the apples on the ground!” “There! I knew I'd get an idea!” . “I'm tall and thin ly can squeeze through opening. Funny [ never thought of it before! I love apples. too! I’ve tasted them several times.” Off he trotted, and just as he pected, he got through the opening without a mite of trouble. And the ground was covered with windfall apples, much to his delight. So he started in to eat. And he ate and he ate and he ate until he thought he would burst. “My goodness!” he said suddnely, “The sun's going down and I'd vet- ter go home. And I’m thirsty, to Ill stop at the horse trough and take a big drink.” 2 All of which he did. That night he started to swell. And he kept on swelling till he looked like a barre} almost. And such a paig! Poor Frisky whinnied until he voke Mister Dod ger and the Twins, asleep in their corn-shock house in the corn field. I don’t know what they gave him, but whatever it was, it cured him, One thing I do know, however, Frisky got a good lecture and he won't touch sweet apples and water again in a hurry. Or anything else he doesn’t know about, (To Be Continued) i} 2 {A Thought ~ | Pa | A virtuous woman is a crown, to her husband; but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.—Prov. 12:4.
