Change is eternal and constant. greatest mountain every second becomes smaller washes it away to the sea. And the sea, in turn, is slowly filling up. Just when a man thinks he has achieved something, he finds the forces of disintegration attacking him. Phono- graph makers built up a giant industry, sold two and a quarter million machines and 107 million records in 1920. They felt secure. Then came the radio craze. It has put half of the phono- graph makers out of business, fewer than 100 surviving. The two industries are joining hands. What will come along and crowd radio to the coroner? Something, that’s in- evitable, . CHEAPER Edison put the incandescent electric light on the market in 1879. For years later, rates became uniform at 20 cents a@ Kilowatt hour. The ‘price today, for small consumers, eee eight cents—or less than half what it original- ly was. The same is true of thousands of other articles. When people say cost of living has doubled, they refer to food, clothing, rent and other basic item Ingenuity in manufac- turing has lowered more other prices than any of us realize. Can’t compare our cost of living with grandpa’s, for he didn’t have a hundredth of the things we use and consider indis- pensable. Pathetic stories come from Germany, about old people whose life savings have been wiped out by the collapse of the value of the mark. We saw one letter, a man of 65 had managed to scrape together 80,000 marks by long self-denial and saving. His 80,000 marks have depreciated so much that they won’t buy a package of cigarets. More fortunate are the people who had their savings in- vested in homes, land or other property. Life is precarious. All values are uncertain. But land, on the average, seems the safest bet For one thing, it never wears out. SIDE-LINE From Argentina comes word that teachers there are not allowed to work full-time. They can have classes morning or s, afternoon, but not both. This gives them opportunity to devote half the day to outside jobs in business, trades or professions. So it’s not uncommon to find a doctor or lawyer teaching a daily class. This divided-activity system might be welcomed by teach- ers in America—which pays its brain instructors outrageous : ly low. But that’s the natural reaction of a race devoting nine-tenths of its time and money to the body, only a tenth to the intellect. HOLE The search for wealth continues never-endingly and takes strange forms. Now men seeking riches are going deeper into the earth than ever before. The supply of natural gas is swiftly dwindling. So a hole two miles deep, in hopes of é s_at a new low level, is being drilled near Terra Allta. & W. Va. Pr A wildcatting oil well at Carnarvon, South Africa, has reached a depth of nearly a mile. Far away. in the San Juan Del Ray mine in Brazil, miners work 6726 feet underground. We would be a race of Socrateses if we were a hundredth i, as industrious for knowledge as for riches. Fa 5 SIBERIA Gold—enough to give $100,000 apiece to 60,000 people— | jj lies’ unmined in Siberia, waiting to be taken out of the ground. Six billion dollars is the total value. This is the 3, estimate of American mining engineers who have been look- ing the country over. And yet this gold is only a shadow of Siberia’s greater natural resources—fabulous amounts of coal and oil, metals ; «nd farming soil that grows everything from tobacco and cotton to grapes and watermelons. § This treasure is at Japan’s elbow. She knows it. Watch. FH AHOY! Some of the French are working like beavers to repair war losses, while their leaders chew the rag and play to the : galleries. A striking example is the French merchant marine, now 4,200,000 tons. That’s almost twice as big as before the war. In 1919 it had dropped to about 1,700,000 tons. Is it a natural growth? French cling to their homeland * more than any other race. How many French immigrants { have you ever seen? sane, UNDERGROUND - Strange and ancient people who live in holes in the ground are discovered in Africa.

As a writer of the Farm Con- puts it: he American wheat grower cannot compete with the cheap lund, cheap labor and lower trans- portation costs of other countries, unless he can take ‘part of the over- head expenses of his farm off his wheat crop. “What is needed is a program which will bring in revenue every week in the year, to supplement the Wheat check. Poultry, dairy cows and other live stock wil do this. It. will also largely supply the home table and convert the farm into a well rounded out economic AE oe “Furthermore, there are. other crops, such as sugar beets, flax, producing beans.and many oth- » the products of which are im- ported in’ large quantities, because the domestic supply is inadequate. The acreage of these should be in- ased in place of wheat.” Here-is a practical philosophy of farming that - will- bring results, when inflated credits, utopfan ex- periments in ‘price-fixing, and al! the- variegated schemes of farm blo and political friends of the farmer go up in smoke.—Minneap- olis Journal. }, Champ Clark of Missouri, backed | by the same powerful Democratic | , influences in the east that now de- mand the nomination of Governor | Smith of New York, would inevit- ably have been chosen at the Balti- m convention in 1912 ‘but for the opposition of Mr. Bryan. ‘Has the Commoner sheathed the yvord once drawn in dfiance of ammany? Evidently the leaders of the Smith campaign are endeay- oring to persuade themselves that he has, or, if ‘he has not, that the sharp edge of his weapon has ‘been dulled and rendered innoxious. Mr. Bryan, it is announced, will ‘be one of the eight delegates to the convention comprising the Florida quota. He is no longer a Nebras-: kan, as is well known, but a resi- dent of and a voter in Florida. It has ‘been arranged, perhaps tentatively and without reckoning with the possible influence of Mr. Bryan, that the Florida delegation, on the first roll call when the time comes for nominating speeches, ll yield to the New York dele-} gation, thus giving the Smith sup- porters an opportunity to present their candidate and stage! their ar- ranged stampede early in the game. The question is as to the tracta- bility of the Commoner. Will h forgetting his grievances agai Tammany Hall, sit passiv quietly while its candidate ing extolled? It is not to be believed that Mr. Bryan has either forgotten or for- given. His silence at that time would indicate that he has agreed that ‘his influence in the political councils of this party has waned. Will he agree that it has become negligible? Looking backward at] the peerless leader of.a few years ‘ago, one is inclined to hazard the guess that he will not remain si- lent.—Christian Science Monitor. Nase an e, st ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON | The next night shen Johnny Jump Up came to dance on the Twin’s win- dow sill in the moonlight, they were | waiting for him, all dressed and ready to go. All except the little shoes which Johnny carried in his pocket. Are we going on a journey to- night?” cried Nick. “We are if the moon doesn't blow up,” answered Johnny Jump Up, making a funny face. “But the moon man sent me word that he think’s it’s not likely to blow up be- cause it’s made of ice mostly.” “Then we're going,” said Nancy EVERETT TRUE — ano <~ WANT TO DAIRY FARMING NOT A Despite the various ‘campaigns’ of newspapers and organization ‘based on the theory that the dairy cow is strong enough all ‘by her- self to drag the wheat farmers of the northwest out of their mire of difficulties, a bulletin just issued by the farm management experts fat the University Farm advises caution in the matter of dairy ex- pansion, In the last decade Minnesota has ———————EeE_ added thalf a million-dairy cows to] |JHaT ('m SLRPRISGD her herds, ‘bringing the total up to 1,674,000. Moreover, the average! |” EoRTUNG TELLGR } production of milk per cow has ae THatT Sture probably increased appreciably. == In the same period the ratio of cow ‘population of the country has increased from 214 to 221 cows for each thousand of ‘human beings. In view of these facts, and of the recent increase in imports of dairy products from other countries, the bulletin makes the prudent con ment that it “is time to exercise caution in the dairy busines It gees on: “Farmers in favorable localities who are alfeady équipped should probably continue in dairy produc- tion. Others whose location and resources naturally favor the dairy business, may, well proceed to grow into it. It looks like a ipoor time, however, to buy into the busi- ness, or attempt to develop dairy- ing in localities not naturally fav- orable to the industry.” The wheat-growing industry 1s. sick, but it is not to tbe cured by the simple expedient of getting all wheat-growers to buy dairy cows, and take on a branch of farming about which they may. know little or nothing, and for which their lands may not be well adapted. It is quite possible to overdo the dairy business, just as the wheat business has ‘been overdone. It is generally admitted, of course, that one-crop farming is 4 mistake. What is needed is a bal- anced agriculture. Each farm should ‘be developed into a self- sustaining unit with its work and production on a 12-month basis.

It had a-big sale for those times, because the author realized that every generation thinks it is living in the greatest period of history. Let us consider one of the marvels of 1840 and compare it with the marvels of 1924. We quote from the old book: “The world no longer resembles the world of Columbus. On those inknown seas — above which was seen to rise. a black hand, the hand of Satan, which seized ships in the night and dragged them to the bottom of the abyss—packets perform regular voyages, for the conveyance of letters and sengers. i - adie ae “Instead of those rude, filthy, infectious, damp ships in which you had nothing but salt provisions to live- upon, and were devoured by scurvy, elegant vessels offer to passengers cabins wainscotted with mahogany, provided with carpets, adorned with mirrors, flowers, libraries, musical instruments and all the delicacies of good cheer. : “As for tempests, we laugh at them! Distances have disappeared! Steamboats no longer care for contrary winds on the ocean, or for opposing currents in rivers; they are floating palaces of two or even three stories, from whose, galleries the traveler admires the most magnificent scenery. The genius of man is truly great for his petty habitation. The travelers of 1840 thought they experienced the final word in luxury and progress when they had safe ships with mirrors on the walls, flowers aboard, and genuine carpets on the floor. We wonder what those same travelers would say if they could come hack to life and journey on a modern ocean liner with its electric lights, indoor swimming pool and radio music from afar. Or if they could' travel in one of those airplanes that are making the round-the-world flight. Alas, it is a blow to vanity, but our ocean liners and flying machines may seem as pathetically crude to people 84 years from now as the passenger packets of 84 years ago seem to us. The only consolation is that the 1840 travelers got as much “kick” out of his generation’s wonders as we get out of ours or future generations will get from theirs. dents were found to have missing first molars to an unusual extent. Such figures cause one to think. Children should be instructed in Propey prophylactic care of the mouth, Regular visits to the dentist should be made and fillings and cleanings attended to in time to prevent extractions. Emphasis should be put on the importance of mouth hygiene, that the child may grow up with good teeth. happily, running. ‘up to the little fairyman and taking the tiny shoes he held out. Just as before, as soon as they touched the shoes, they became as little as gumdrops. “Follow me,” commanded Johnny Jump Up next. So;all three .climbed out of the window. and down. the rose vine into the magi¢ garden. Johnny Jump Up did a string of somersaults aéross' the posey beds, not touching a flower, but when he reached a patch of ‘blue-bélls, he stopped. *Tinalingaling,” went one big blue-bell when ‘he shook it, “Hoot mon, who's there?” cried a tiny little fellow, popping his head out. “It’s me, Sandy. I mean it’s us,” said Johnny Jump Up quickly. (Johnny never had gone to school and his grammar was awful). “Sandy, this is Nancy and Nick, Nancy and Nick, this is Sandy, the Scotch fairy, who lives in the blue- bells.” “Good evening,” said the Twins politely. “Gud een, bonnie bairns,” said Sandy, tipping his funny cap. Indeed, all his clothes were different from any the children had ever seen. “I have brought the tickets,” he said. “If you are going to Scotland tonight, you had better be starting.” “So we had. Where's that tit- mouse?” asked Johnny. “He's our express traig and ocean-boat and BY CONDO Say, MRS. TRUe, THAT A WOMAN OF DON'T YOU KNGW 13: THE VERIEST Bunk 2! PosSIGcLr Some of it 3!

Titmouse, oh, titmouse, where are you?” “Here I'am,” said Tommy Tit- mouse flying down from a tree. “Where are your tickets?” After he had punched them with his bill, all three of the travelers, Nancy and Nick and Johnny Jump Up, piled on Tommy Titmouse's back, and away he flew over land and sea to Scotland. It was moon- light at home but daylight there and they could see everything. Scotland was certainly a bonnie country, as Sandy would have said. The highlands were beautiful, full of green ferny places and:lovely wa- ter-falls and clear streams where water-cress grew. And there were fields and fields of heather, a low plant of a purple color that is beautiful in the sun. And there were great cities where people were hurrying to and fro, never guessing that up in the air three curious little people and.a bird were looking down at them. Suddenly they heard a funny noise. It went squeeze—roar—and then made some more sounds that were more like groaning than music. “Those are bag-pipes,” said Johnny Jump Up. “They look as odd as they sound, but the Scotch people love them. But we muit be going back to the magic garden now. Titmouse, please take@us home.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924; NEA Service, Inc.) ed The older you are the quicker the future becomes the past.

I thought I knew women, I thougkt I knew everyone of their little idiosyncrasies, I thought I knew not only what they were think- ing’ but the way they would work out any given proposition, but I confess T_am stumped with this. That letter is a hummer. I know you will agree with me there. Think of it Syd, a former sweetheart writes to the. husband of the woman for whom she was thrown. down and pleads that he-will not, in the fu- ture, give his wife any excuse for being unhappy! Great Scotland, if that is not a situation for a French farce or an American tragedy, whichever way you look at it, then I am a boob. I can really see nothing harmful when a woman is away from her husband, if he takes his secretary out for a dinner. Yes, you've guessed it. It was Sally Atherton, and I'll bet anything you want to wager that if she wasn't such a striking looking wo- man no one would have thought any- thing about it. I'll also pe willing to take a few side bets ‘that Paula Perior would have no scruples about my going to dinner, with a girl, if she were the girl. I do not believe, either that it will make Leslie unhappy when. she finds that: I have been dining many. times with her good friend, Sally Atherton, while she was away. Of course, I shall tell her. I know if I do not do this Sally will. She is the frank- est and most open-minded woman I have ever known, Leslie is not a jealous woman. On the contrary, she has proved “her great love for me as well as her great understanding of men by ‘for- giving me little Jack and taking him into her heart. Why, do you know, Sydney, that 1 believe that Leslie loves that boy bet- ter than she does me. I am not at all afraid of what Les- lie will think or say about this mat- ter, but I was much interested in what Pauld said and what she prob- ably thinks. That is the reason I am sending her letter to you, It is a modern viewpoint, isn’t it? My mother had the idea that if a woman had once “fallen,” as she used to call it, she could never be trusted again. Nowadays we fin the theory turned around. Paula has proved that she can arise above her early indiscretions, but she thinks that I am not to be trusted ever again. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

The other day 800 officers sent in their resignation because of their dissatisfaction with the commander- in-chief and the general staff. An- other grievance is that many of the superior posts are held by men who were trained in the old days in’ the Russian Army and had posts in that army. The younger men think the army ought to be very largely handled by officers who have no Russian traditions at all, but who owe all their training to their own Finland., Holland, during: the war was often accused of being pro-German, but there is nothing at all pro-German in Duteh fears that their big neigh- bor may be casting covetous eyes at their rich colonies. The Dutch, of course, know that x the former allied powers would notpy allow Germany to grab the immense- ly wealthy and valuable Dutch East Indies by main force. What the’ Dutch ‘fear is peaceful penetration by means of all kinds of big con- cessions. In that way they figure that some day they might wake up and find the main benefit of their colonies going to Germany. So at the opening of the Dutch Peoples Council, Dr. Fock, governor general of the East Indies, went out of his way to kill that bogey. He said there was no intention to, give Permanent positions to concession- naires in the Dutch East Indies, nor to grant rights over huge areas.
