The first of these laws is Cause and Effect. The second is the Law of Repetitions. Herbert Spencer, English philosopher, attracted by the Law of Repetitions, studied it and decided that historical events and situations repeat themselves with a certain reg- ularity, or cycle, the same as the four seasons of the year alternate and daylight and darkness follow each other through the ages. Governments also, as the ages pasg, have changed with certain fixed cyclic tendency. Study ancient civilization. A country may be governed by an aristocracy—a group of leaders sharing power. Finally one of these leaders be- comes strong enough to seize all the control for himself, and the aristocracy has evolved into monarchy. Monarchy tends to end in revolution. The next step in cyclic evolution is anarchy or general lawlessness, a natural reaction from a condition of too much law. Russia has illustrated both of these changes. Out of anarchy comes order —democracy, usually a republic with governmental powers delegated to elected representatives. Then the wheel, according to precedent of past civiliza- tions, begins turning again. Democracy degenerates into aristocracy gradually, as power becomes centered in the hands of a few. The interesting cycle or wheel of governmental evolution sometimes stops and turns backward a while, as when a weak monarch has to surrender much of his power and divide it; among strong followers, in effect changing monarchy into aristocracy. CHRISTMAS are going to have a fine Christmas, judging by this year’s imports of toys —larger than ever before. Three - fourths of these imported toys are from’ Germany, mostly from Nuremburg, which has been the toy-making center of the world for 700 years. Germany formerly specialized in military toys, especially lead soldiers. This year, instead of military playthings, she has concentrated on Noah’s Arks and individual animal toys. An excellent’ tendency, for toys that suggest war help per- petuate the military spirit. OLYMPIC GAMES Fifty thousand athletes, representing 52 nations, will take part in the 1924 Olympic Games in France. The big sessions will be in May, June and July, though the winter sports events will be decided at Chamonix in January and February. Your thoughts turn back to that super-contest between nations—the World War—and then back to the days when two armies, drawn up in battle array against each other, decided the issue by a personal combat between two men, one from each army. That spirit was the basis of what we call modern sports. The kiddies PREDICTS MILD WINTER This winter will be milder than last winter, predicts Plimmon H. Dudley, steel rail expert of N. Y. Central Lines. His winter forecast comes yearly and is eagerly awaited by makes steel rails contract or shrink. Warm weather makes them expand. All of which has a decided effect on railroad conditions ; so traffic men are keenly interested. What greater influence is there, in our lives than weather? It affects everything from railroading and money spending to radio and emotions. THEIR BEST CUSTOMER France continues selling more to Great Britain than she buys in return. Each month finds France 80 million francs . “to the good” when she balances her books in the matter of trade with the British. This trade advantage has its political side. French diplo- mats are great emotional actors. But they’re sensible enough to do a lot of thinking before breaking with their best cus- tomer. | On the other hand, France’is buying from Amey.ca nearly twice as much as she’s selling us. ECONOMY IN JAPAN The earthquake made Japan revise its budget. Tokio government finds its income for 1924 is reduced 100 million yen by the quake’s devastation. So it has to arrange to, spend that much less than originally intended. Government usually spends up to the limit. A spendthrift government is generally the natural result _ 6f a condition of what might be called too much prosperity nationally. WINTER WEATHER The Yukon River, in the ‘far north, froze over at Daw- son“later this year than any winter in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. This means much to people in the north- ern states, whose storms are believed to originate in the open, with severe spells few and short. § \ FOR LEADS THEM ALL.

The farmer who owned the cat. in digging the grave discovered @ substance which proved to be marl. This farmer had been | hauling limestone a long. dis- tance for his alfalfa fields. In conference with his country agent, he discovered that marl would take the place of lime in correcting the acidity of his soil, This experience led him to the use of marl that existed on his own farm and saved him much time and, considerable expense in hauling. Similar opportunities have ex- isted and still exist. Many farmers in the middle west will’ recall what a pest sweet clover used to be. Now this pest is being used profitably as hay and pasture for livestock and as @ crop to be plowed under for increasing the fertility of the soil. Kansas is called the “Sun- flower State” and those who have lived there will well re- member how they have fought this weed. Today sunflowers are being grown as a crop, feed for chickens and it is also being utilized with or without corn as a suitable crop for the silo. ‘ It 1s surprising to discover how many things which were frowned upon in days gone by are now serving a useful pur- pose. These changes have been brought about by observation and study. Brains count on the farm as elsewhere.
