The 8th grade have completed their history work and are re-| viewing for state examination. The University is the bulwark of civilization. The universit- | ies have endured because they kept alight a sacred fire needed by men. The light they guarded was that of knowledge. Without the light shed by scholarship | and science, men would be in the dark; or rather although the light shines around them, they would not see. The barbarous races that have no scholars are unchanging and unprogressive. | Universities do two things. They teach men to open their eyes and | they discover new things for men to see. The first is essen- | tial for a civilized, and the! second for a progressive, people. | —Random sentences from an ad- | dress by president Lowell of Harvard, Lewisite is a gas so deadly | that it has seventy-two times | the killing power of the most deadly gas used in the war. Let | loose in the open air, it kills in- | stantly on the inhalation of the smallest amount. A single drop | of the liquid on the hand causes death in a few hours. It is the invention of Prof. W. Lee Lewis of Northwestern University and is a chemical secret. After the | armistice was signed the entire system of baracks and labora- tories used in the manufacture of Lewisite were destroyed and the stock on hand was loaded in cast iron containers and carried 50 miles out at sea, where it was gently lowered into the Atlantic where itis 3 miles deep. All that remains of Lewisite are some samples in the War De- partment and the sealed for- mula. By the way, there was | enough stock on hand to kill half the population of the Unit- | ed States. “Yankee ingenuity,” still persists.

Poverty is more of a punish- ment than it is a crime. One should learn to talk well -also when it is well not to talk, With the possible exception of vanity, a woman may outlive her faults. , Many a man loves his enemy because is comes out of a pocket flask. If you would know a man study his infirmities rather than his virtues The average politician is as tough as India rubber and his conscience is more elastic. It is really surprising how much happiness or misery lies in the circle of a wedding ring. The moon resembles a mar- riage certificate because it has something to do with the tide. If you would outshine your neighbors, acquire a good re- putation and then keep it pol- ished. Yes, Luke, dear, obstinacy is so firmly rooted in the average woman's system that it is a waste of time to attempt to eradicate it. imperialist— DR.

DOG PROPERLY STANDS FIRST Of All the Brute Creation, That Faith ful Animal Has Rendered the Greatest Service to Man. In the early days, centuries and cen- turies ago, man lived mostly by the chase, as today the last surviving sav- age tribes still live. The raising of herds, the tilling of the soll, the manu- facture of goods, all were unknown, Wi animals, hunted in the forests with stone weapons and pointed sticks, furnished almost the only resource. Their fish gave food, their skins pro- vided clothing. To cateh the game, a fleet-footed auxiliary in the chase was Necessary; to keep these dangerous animals in a proper state of awe, a courageous defender was needed by man. This auxiliary, this defender, and, best of all, this friend, devoted | even to death, was the dog; a gift from heaven to help man In bis pitiful be With the ald of the dog, life was rendered less perilous, food more assured. Leisure followed, and from being a bunter man became a herds man. The herd was formed, at first very indocile and at the slightest lack of watchfulness taking again to the wild life of old. Its keeping was con- fided to the dog, which, posted ‘on some rising ground of the pasture, {ts scent to the wind and ear on the watch, followed the herd with vigilant eye and rushed to bring back the run- aways, or to drive off some evil-inten- tioned beast. Thanks to the dog, che erd gave abundance—milk and its products, ffesh for food and warm wool for clothing. Then, relieved from the terrible anxiety concerning dally provisions, man took it Into his head to dig in the earth and make It pro- duce gratin, Agriculture sprang into being, and with It, little by little, civil- ization. By the very force of circum- stances, therefore, man tn all coun- tries Is at first a hunter, later he be comes a herdsman and ends by being an agriculturist. The dog ts absolute- ly necessary to him, first for hunting, then for watching and defending the herd. Of all our domestic animals, ac cordingly, the dog is the eartiest on record and the one that has rendered us the greatest service.—Chicago Dally News, We have bought 4 cars of corn, one of which is here. even at its high cost, the cheap- est, place your orders with us.

HINES, Diresver General of Railroads, ins to be done which the jy delaved and cance “ef * ‘very large capital the Work more— Produce more— Save more— But we can’t continue increasing our production unless we continue increasing our railroad facilities, The farms, mines and factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity. Without railroad expansion—more en- gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter- minals—there can be little increase in production. i But this couatry of ours is going to keep right on growing—and the railroads ‘ must grow with it. To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities—and so increase production— there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads.
