Dirmg the speech be told Enrrlish pome vol known truths about thj flannel rrouths of the U. S. thfc same old speech he has mare in 1 he U S. a dozen tim?S, he SH.V-, and he alsclsays he StJnds by it. But making it in England roused the ire of one flannel mouth by the name of McCormick, a member of the senate. And he and several others of his ilk -are after Sims scalp good and right 'i he whole truth of ths matter as prjved by 1000 years of history, like that of the Jews, by 3000 years of history, is that while they make the finest servants thay never were capable of self goverment ONE FOOT ON THE GROUND. Kuthulasiu is tine. So is itU.i'S;-. So Is optimism. So Is faith. S vision. So are a whole lot of uiiier things. Hut ulwuys keep one foot on the ground, suys Forbes Magazine. Too many of us ure given to Hying to extremes. We lack bullast. We often let our dreams run away with us. We lose all serue of perspective and proportion. When thing are going well with us we conclude that 'they will always continue to do so. and we accordingly neglect to provide safeguards against reversal of fortunes The business concerns which urv in direst straits today are thoe that oxershot the mark most during the boom. They failed to look ahead. Thej reckoned upon prosperity lasting foreer. A good many of us do the same thing. After all, plain, ordinary umpilon is the greatest asset In the world. Gumption embraces level headedness. Judgment, stability, over to hld on. rational but not blind optimism. ie. aouable but not unreasonable self-ie-Uance, alertness to the value of looking before you leap, and of counting the cost before you run up a hill. Let us philosophize; yes. Hut let us not forget thut before we can philosophize fruitfully, we must first buckle down to the workaday task of earning a living.

GERMAN WAQC8 AND PRICES. German wages at the present time

are reported to lc about $5 In gold weekly, or roughly one-half of the prewar normal. German prices In terms of Rold seem to be on the average around 20 per cent above the prewar normal. The German Industrial Interests sseem to have been able to deceive the German workmen with the Irpreciatod German mark, says Wal lace's Farmer. In terms of marks. the German workmen may be Ret ting five or six times what they were before the war, but In terms of what the money will buy, they are getting far less. It Is a strunge thing that people have come so to worship money that they will allow tliemselves to be deceived. As lone as German money has a fluctuating gold value. It is likely that the United States will find Germany a very hard competitor to beat. With a currency of uncertain value. It Is possible to make labor do more work for less return than would otherwise be the case. Germany will eventually pay for the war by the selfdenial of her laboring people, a selfdenial enforced by a manipulated cur rency system. 0 The cause of oyster poisoning, like thru of clam1 poisoning, Is still in doubt. Fresh oysters In season are always safe. According to Gardet, all oysters are diseased during the summer. The nature of . the disease waia not determined, but it was found that diseased oysters possess n characteristic milky appearance and that the liver Is enlarged and gray and soft, according to George II. Glover of the Colorado Agricultural college. The sale of oysters Is prohibited from May to August und poisoning by oysters may occur In September and October. It la better not to take a chance on oysters that do not smell fresh, and this Is most likely to occur In the first oysters that appear In the market early In the fall. The secretary of agriculture says there U a surplus of onions In the country and urges people to eut more onions. Consumption depends largely upou price. The country' onion trouble Is, the speculators star the lata crop and sell at high prices, using the fall surplus' to depress the spring crop and the spring surpltu to depress the fall crop, says Houston Post. They are the hellions who gouge the producer and the consumer. Pot down as another fruitless occupation, that men would rather pursue than work, the telling of adventures that never occurred and the repetition of advice given by successful politicians who nevwr followed It. It must be a great reDef to Germany to know what it will bo required to pay for the war. Probably, too the -mount will deter any other nation from engaging In a elmilar pastime for at least 42 years. Statistics show that there is at present one motorcar for every two families. But if reckless and drunken drivers speed up a bit In their efforts at depopulation there will in time be one car per family. Kxperts now tell us that the United States has enough coal to last 3,000 years. The real question light now Is, have we got enough to last till It's safe to let the furnace fire go out for the summer? And now abldeth aspiration, inspiration and perspiration, these three, but the greatest nnd 'most necessary of these In this world right now U perspiration properly superinduced. Turkey will compel men above twenty-four years of age to marry, the assumption being that If a man can't support a wife by that time, the wife will be able to support him. War Is a great enemy to human life, of course, but strike generation averages and It will ye found that Ignorance and negligence are the greater twin enemies of humanity. From police reports, it appears that a moonshiner Is almost sure to get caught, but so far no still manufacturer has suffered an Interruption of his business. I "Falls 1U00 Feet In Plane.

THOU SHALT REMIIMDER.

There must be a consciousness of re-J serves In support If there Is to be any real strength In a life, any strengtn auch es the poet evidently had In mind. Such consciousness cannot exist In the soul that lives or tries to live a detached, unrelated life, nor can it be said that it Is "standing at ease In nature, aplomb in the midst of Irrational things." There are no supports to be called Into the fight or at least the power to call them Is lacking. There may be great stir, much rushlnj to and fro, and a wild beating of the air, but there will be no application of power to life, since there will be no power to apply. These ire they of wasted years, vain efforts and futile endeavors and final failure. "Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these 40 years in the wilder ness, to humble thee, and to, prove thee, to know what was In thine heart." Thou shalt remember" the command still holds. The Red rising in Germany at Lenin's bidding is confession of weakness on the part of the Red radicals everywhere. Lenin has tried out the communistic theories and has found them unworkable, just as they have always been in all attempts that ever have been made. As a British statesman pointed out, they have found out la Russia that "locomotives cannot be patched and made to run with Karl Marx's theories," says the New York Commercial. If the communistic theory has broken down in Russia, where it had its greatest opportunity, it can hardly be expected to work in Germany, whore the people at large are opposed to the idea. Arthur Reynolds, new president of the Continental and Commercial National Bank of Chicago, asked by a writer for Farbes Magazine as to some particular quality to which more than others he could attribute his success, replied: "Perhaps I may call It 'salesmanship.' To be successful in any business, a knowledge of sales psychology and hove to apply It is essential. Sales psychology, after all, Is nothing more than an understanding of human nature. The roost successful men are net necessarily those who know the most, Men who have ideas and who knew how to 'sell' their ideas to others, or win others over to their viewpoint, achieve the greatest success. In view of the part played in the World war by Oreece and Turkey, most allied observers will join in the hope that after Turkey succeeds in inflicting heavy casualties upon the Greeks, the Greeks will rally and do as much to the Turks. A Paris Jury has condemned a religious fanatic to two months In prison for using witchcraft to stifle love. Many persons will avow that the process of arousing love is nothing otTier than a specialized branch of this art of sorcery. Hairdressers are giving the word that girls may show the tips of their cars. Still, the modesty of this em is so Intense it may be a little while before girls will become bold enough to show even the tip of a naked ear. Horace Greeley is reported to have sagely said concerning the resumption of sprcie payments that the way to resume was to resume. And It might be remarked that the way to disarm is to disarm. The Italian ambassador says Italy Is preparing to pay America its debt of 51,031,000,000. We mention the matter because it may interest the grandchildren of some of the folks living today. Fosslbly those highbrows who discussed Dickens between the acts of a musical comedy thought they were Justified on the ground that the people on the stage were raising him. A fish that growls and mews has been discovered in South America. Accounts do not state whether It is a cross between a catfish and a" dogfish, as its habits would seem to imply. Wages ih Hungary are Ufteen or twenty times the prewar scale, and If they could buy anything with the money Hungarian laborers would be happy. That heart action amplifier Is go ing to be a great thing for the skeptical maid who wishes to examine Into the state of her sweetheart's affections. South America needs immigration. but it does not seem to be eager fori the patronage of the Keds who are leATing Europe.

WORTH FAR MORE THAN GOLD Value of Good Credit Must Ntver De Forgotten by the Community or Its Citizens. The following little story has aroused much interest among Kansas merchants and credit men. It was recently published in the bulletin of the Pittsburgh, Kan., Merchants' association. T buy your groceries, your drygoods, your home everything you use or need. T am not money; I am its superior. I buy many times more than all the gold in the world. With me money may be bought T am the very basis upon which the business life of the world has been built, more so in modern times than ever before. "I am founded upon honesty, and built upon faith in mankind, ami woe unto the man or woman who wilfully abuses me. "I have given men the means to become rich, means which nothing else could place within their reach. "I am, when rightly used, the greatest means of prosperity and happiness, but when abused, I have brought misery into the lives of men and women. "I am confidence placed In a man's ability and reliability to meet his future obligations. "I am greater than Industry and capital, for I demand Industry and capital of others on the strength of ability and disposition to make my promises good. "I am Kood credit.' From the Nation's Business. GET AFTER THAT BACK YARD One Unsightly, Neglected Place Will Spell the Appearance of Otherwise Well.Kept Street. Back yards are something big city dwellers long for and small town dwellers long to get rid of. But back yards are a geographical condition; the yearning is about as close as n cltyite ever gets to one, while the small townlte finds it hard to dispense with for want of something to take its place. A back yard In some seasons of the year is not exactly an object of beauty. Faintlcss fences are in a more or less acute state of unrepair, tin cans, old shoetf and worn out brooms have somehow eluded the garbage can. Why not get busy and give the back yard a thorough house-cleaning? The exercise will do you good, and the neighbors will rise up nnd acclaim you. Montreal Family Herald. Oklahoma Club Members Feel at Home. Even at home, "the little piece of home" token overseas by the Y. W. C. A. for our boys, comes in handy. Out in Oklahoma in building a clubhouse, Lock Sanders post. No. 59, of the Legion has decided that it will borrow the plans of the Y. "NV. C. A. hostess house. In camps and overseas it met such a need that now, back in their home town, Hugo, Okla., the boys nrc building one for tliemselves. So interested has the whole town become In the scheme that everyone Is helping. Citizens are buying boards at one dollar apiece and painters and carpenters are donating a day's work. The plot has been given by the city. The structure will contain an auditorium with a seating capacity of 200, a reading and writing room and an office, all on familiar lines. To meet the demands, the national board, Y. W. C. A., 600 Lexington avenue. New York city, offers to share with other Legion posts or communities a plan for a delightful clubhouse. Pictures , ore available. Exchange. The Garden Plot. The range of choice in the location of a city garden must necessarily be somewhat limited. Good drainage, sunshine nnd a suitable soil should be kept In mind in selecting a site for the garden. Where fowls and stray stock are likely to interfere ample protection must be provided by a good fence a problem that must be carefully considered especially in the cultivation of acant lots. If the soli Is poor or very heavy, well rotted stable manure will help correct these conditions. Commercial fertilizers may also be used to furnish plant food where the soil lacks In the necessary elements. Material for Stont House. The stone house is very adaptable to all those regions where this material can be secured from the excavation of the cellar or from some neighboring road improvement. Sometimes an old stone wall serves as a source of suPDly. Because of the native character of this material it will always ' be In harmony with the landscape. a.

Beaiafcy Chats i; By EDNA KENT FORBES PRETTY ARMS UP TO the age of eighteen or nineteen, a girl need not worry if her 'inns are too thin or too fat unless they are an extreme of citjier condition for up to that time the body (s maturing, and may easily be too fat or too thin In itself. And tho inn gains or loses In proportion to Its weight. Most of the men who sit by scales and weigh you free If they canaot guess your weight within n few pounds, take hold of the arm and feel Its size before stating the weight. The best way to have beautiful nnns Is to exercise them. Massage nnd creams may help some, but exercise is certain to develop the lovely lines so much desired. Plain household tasks Every Young Girl. Wants Pretty Arms to Show Off. will make the arms beautiful, making beds, sweeping, kneading bread or beating cake, are all exercises that tend to make the arms well developed. Such tasks should be done with quick movements; sluggish movements are not exercises at all. Swimming is good for the arms, of course, rowing, canoeing, and all outdoor sports will make the arras pretty. Anything which makes the arms move quickly In varying directions, which flexes and relaxes the muscles, is a good arm exercise. Holding the arms doubled up, the hand In fist, and tightening the upper arm muscles. Is still another good exercise. It is such a pleasure to own pretty arms and to be able to wear sleeveless dresses, that every woman will feel repaid for any trouble Bhe goes to, to Improve her arms.

EVERYDAY MYSTERIES. 'This much I do not undenUrid Sa.il Hezeklah Din. "I don't know why a friendly hand Onto another clings With tuch a inM of confidence When things are going wrtr.jr. And makes the universe immense A realm of smiles and song. 'I don't know why the roses bloom. Nor why tho snowflakes fall. Nor why the stars dispel the gloom And yet X lore them all. And life, though wisdom's way Is grand. Seems sweetest for the things I cannot hope to understand' Said Hezeklah (Bl?gs.

TOWER MADE OF TREE TRUNK European Visitors Will Marvel at y Adornment Set Up on Grounds of the National Capital. Part of the trunk of a California redwood tree, 30 feet In diameter at the has?, has been shipped to Washington and converted into a tower on the. grounds of the Department of Agriculture. It is provided with a door and an Interior stairway and is surmounted, by a circular roof with dorThe Tower In Position. mer windows looking In four directions. The trunk is so heavy that It had to be cut Into several sections for shipping. Curiosities of Populous Isle. A remarkable case of overpopulation Is that of the Island of Bukara, in Victoria Nyanza, described by II. L. Duke in the Cornhlll Magazine. This Island, with nn area of 30 square miles, much of which is bare granite, though isolated from the rest of the world, supports a population of 10,000. The small garden plots ure carefully marked off and rights of ownership are rigidly observed. Trees are valued more than the land on which they grow. In some caes one man owns tire trees and another the ground. A man must not steal his neighbor's leaves, sticks and rubbish. A father may even divide a tree among his children, allotting certain branches to each. Microscopic Infants. A tiny baby was born at Ilford (England), recently. At birth it weighed two and one-half pounds and gained three ounces in a little more than three weeks1. Perfectly formed, the baby gives promise of growing Into a healthy child. This is not a record, however. In 1824 Sir Evcrard Home described a baby which weighed Just one pound at birth and lived to be nine years old when it measured 22 Inches In height In 1600 a baby was born in a Philadelphia hospital which weighed oie and three-quarter pounds. New Kind of Tombstone. What he calls n "new and improved tombstone" has been Invented by an Oklahoma man. A life-sized figure of the dead person is made of galvanized Iron, the lower part filled with cement to make a heavy base. The body Is hollow and in it is plnred an urn containing the ashes of the deceased. It will be noticed that this tombstone" can only be used In the case of dead person who have beeu cremated. Queer Coincidence. Peculiar coincidences were revealed at a Tonbridge (England) inquest on a boy sixteen years old who was killed from a stray shot from a rifle ronge at a local fair. Thirteen years ago a lad of sixteen was killed on the same spot in exactly the same ratnner. and the doctor who wns called to him was the medical witness In the present Inquiry. He produced In court the bullet which he took from the otber dead lad 13 years ago. Coughing Restored Speech. After being dumb for 33 years a woman living In Christina Maeford, England, coughed back her speech. The woman who Is sixty-one years old has been bed-ridden for 49 years. Three weeks ago. during recovery) from a serious attack of bronchitis, her voice was restored while coughing. Amusing Mrxed Metaphors. Rather a curious cue of mixed metaphors appeared in a Middle Western newspaper recently: -In closing, she asked that the hinges of their friendship never grow rusty, but always be links In the golden chain of fellowship."
