The reverse is true. the urban resident has in a cow when she steps in the milk pail, or to bat the calf over the head when it bunts the feed bucket into one’s short’ ribs are all equally wearing on the nervous system and are all equally For 59 days out of the 60 your best milch cow will move sedately from pasture But come one evening when you are late, when a chill rain is falling and the fields are knee-deep in slush, and does that cursed gate to stanchion at evening cow meekly tread her appoin Quite the contrary. For a divorce, that fool bovine and field, will run with tail wav ing, will kick and cavort and prance on lawn and on garden, and the more you chase her the more she will display the devil that possesses her, And when, about 10 p. m, she decides to calm down and be milked, can the farmer relieve the eutraged feelings that romp up and down his mental cosmos? He cannot, for if he but taps that beast over her fool head with the pitchfork handle she will cher- ish the memory forever, and her usual procedure will be to romp and riot on every occasion; and, being a four-gallon cow, the farm- er chokes down his wrath. The man who gives way to his passion in little affairs unfits him- self for big emergencies, and he whe cannot hammer his thumb and whistle cannot conquer a city or be elected prosecuting attorney, This detached calm the success Yul farmer learns early in life, but city men frequently never learn it, And men who otherwise are Mit for big things ruin themselves by cussing the stenographer, rail ing at the telephone girl, damning the effice boy, and go thru the days sweating blood like the fabled behemoth of holy writ and the circus posters. Nothing to it, brother; keep your temper and get abead.

Treland and India Ireland's success in resisting British rule was something new in history. Ireland had no army im the ordinary sense of the term. Her resistance was of the invis- ible, unseen sort. There was fight ing, but it was guerilia fighting. Yet, when Great Britain finally became convinced that the great mass of the Irish people were with the forces of resistance, she treated with the invisible govern- ment as with an equal, and gave Ireland her liberty. And now Great Britain has an- other revolt of a somewhat sim- ilar character to deal with—in India. In fact, she has had it for several years, but the success of the Irish mast have given the Hindus that courage which is now seen manifesting itself anew. Mahatma Ghandi has been the great leader. He preached pas sive resistance only, but his fol- lowers do not stop with non-co- operation. The government is mak- ing arrests of people engaged in what the dispatches call a “boy- cott” of the Prince of Wales now making a tour of India. Students have struck. One of them offered @ policeman a gafland of flowers if he would arrest him. The pris ons are crowded. Many who were formerly apathetic are now join- ing the boycott. Factories have been converted Into jails. Wise leaders say that the situation is becoming desperate. Jefferson said that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed; but pub- lie sentiment in the world has now reached a plane of develop- ment which will not allow any government to function unless the people not only consent, bat actually co-operate with it. Great Britain could not adopt a tyranny which would stamp out this passive resistance. Her peo- ple would not permit it. Unless this marks a mere temporary spasm of sentiment in India it puts the British in an impossible position. They can meet force. They cannot meet the intangible. How can they meet a boycott against the government? Whether India can govern her- self is a grave question; but she seems in a fair way to have the chance to try. woman without a country.

Probably there never was such a time, The young usually know a number of things that “ we suppose are hidden from them. But certainly the day has passed when any parent may hope to keep a child in ignorance of these fundamental forces that lie at the root of all life. ‘The parent may choose between * two courses: to enlighten the bey and girl sanely, modestly, prop erly; to tell them the big truths ef creation in the home atmos phere, and to inculcate a love of decency and veneration for par ity; or dodge these #i dren to gain their enlightenment from their fellows, chiefly from the precocions and evilainded youngsters that are to be found in every school. When high schoo! dances are barred by secret vote of the male students to girls who wear cor sets, evidently young America bas not spent in complete innocence its prepuberty years. And such a barricade bas been erected in the high schools of at least one big Western city. The it is @ matter of public knowledge aed comment, stil It is impossible to secure parents to attend these dances, tho the same parents do not hesitate to allow their daugh- ters to attend unchaperoned, The cold fact is, as any juve nile court worker will tell you, that the boys and girls, the young men and women, from the “best” homes are the chief juvenile prob- lem. There is no working girl prob- lem of this sort. Shop girls, young women who have to work with men eight hours a day whether they feel like it or not, these women early discover a few vital truths. And as their whole future is bound up in their pres- ent conduct, and as their hope of a home is dependent on their dé cency, there is but one conclusion to the matter: working girls see with open eyes and keep them selves whole of heart and of body. The girls from “good” homes, on the contrary, too often have no understanding of life, or its abyss; they are thrown into a hectic, hurried round of pleasure and temptation, and without stay or anchor they too frequently rift into wanton practices they live to regret. The government has taken ap~ proximately $11,000,000,000 of these (excess) profits in taxes. It ina great pity that it did not take all of them.—Representative Sinclair, (R.), North Dakota, The Farmer's Problem In four weeks, latest reported, wheat exports totaled 29,623,314 bushels. That compares with 33,106,817 bushels in the corre sponding weeks of 1920 and 26, 757,092 bushels in corresponding period of 1919, These figures show that wheat is moving to export as usual, measured in bushels instead of changing prices, The American farmer's real problem is the home market. The home market problem will be solved when all prices are in line with prices paid to the farmer. Not before. We should took more for justice and Ieas for judges.
