FRIDAY JULY 29. 1921. MOUNT EVEREST. Why bunuount Everest? Why not leave one spot In the world Isolated from human kind? Mount Everest unexplored Is a tremendous memento of earth's primordial travail, a monument to the terrific forces of nature, a cynosure, a shrine, a Utting secret place for the Most High. Hut Mount Everest explored will be hut a conquered mountain, a deposed solitude, possibly a summer adventure for tourists outlitted In khaki breeches and Swiss millinery, nays Dallas News. Why not allow Everest to rest on, and on, and on? Why disturb that noble pile? Why reduce it In effect to the level of the plain and the cltie's of the plain? Why punctuate Its eternal snows with sardine cans? Why scar Its unbowed head with boot heels? -Is there to be nothing reserved upon earth from prurient curiosity? Just a hundred years ago it Is asserted that a certain Mr. Hellgarth, of Erfurt, startled the reading and listening world by producing a wonderful and itecullar printing machine. Peculiar in so much that it was able to print eight sheets at a time, and to supply 7,(M)0 copies of each sheet in 12 hours. To produce this astonishlug result, a horse und three men wen? required. What has been accomplished since that time lu the printing line would take a volume to tell. What would those three men think of it who were so essential to Mr. Hellgarth's achievement? As for the horse, he would And himself right out of the picture.

And American society women would better kill the ants and study jjyiiarehy alii that line. A Boston man who Is being sued for running Ills car over a dg claims that the little beast deliberately sought death. If he was a poodle, we can well believe It, says Houston I'ost. It must have been that, despairing of ever knowing the Joy of being a real dog and hating his Job of baby, he became "desperate and threw himself under the wheels of Juggernaut. There Is entirely too much propaganda. Not one per cent of it is worth the postage It requires to transmit it. Ninety per cent of it Is a nuisance. The men who pay for It are buncoed, the men who irform the work waste their time, the iopl who get it are disgusted. The fact that the Japanese .have taken up baseball suggests the possibility that the Yap dUpute may be settled by a few games between the all-Japanese champions and the American winners of the post-season games, with, ivrhaps. Judge Landls to referee. The Chicago News says psychoanalysis has proved Its claim to existence, but not to a seat in the front pews of science. Oh, well, it furnishes an excuse for a number of joople to sidestep useful work, and we fancy that was all it was Intended for. The Increase of 32.2 per cent In the nutomoblle business during March, as cunounced by the Department of 1-a-lor, may explain a few things to the coal trade which Is urging domestic consumers to put In next winter's supply without delay. Another thing we have noticed about plowing Is Its remarkable restraint upon exhuberance and enthusiasm. Object Lcuon Too Realistic. A demonstration of hell fire was given a woman by her husband In their home In Chlcage. The couple had been arguing about the future life, and the man had stoutly maintained the theory of eternal damnation and of actual burning. When they went to bed the husband poured gasoline oxer his wife and applied a match. Neighbors broke Into the house Just In time to save the woman from being burned to death.

Mr. Bosworth came to Chicago ai l I1iiWm1 up with the big work that is being carried on In the five states of the Seventh district Illinois Indiana, .Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan. Mr. Bosworth seeks distribution as well as total of saJes of the savings securities, for 1' believes that every man. woman and child In the jwipulous district should own i ne or more of these securities. 0 "There I no better inrestinent thau "the savings securities," shld Mr. Bosworth recently, "and the various denominations make It possible fr all the people to be practical p: rtners with t'nrle Sam, at the s:; .e time helping themselves. The government savings contests arranged by man states all the states in tlv Seventh district are tnokel yp h" M result In much good to the grvr.i sivin movement conducted by ! ruft' States government. Pc-nna r i who are leading these 'onfests n:;y f e I sure that whatever the 8av!ngs division can do to help them win theii fights will Ixt done gladly and earnestly.

The IhJIar a-Week (tovermuent Savings club has become the most universal organization In the United States. Its members rang from Maine to California arul every day brings new strength to it.

The Dollar-a-Week club is taking firm root In Industrial plants and stores. Workers group themselves together and make regular purchases every week of the new $1 Treasury Savings Stamps. Membership requirement In a club calJs only for the purchase of one of the stamps every week. Four of these $1 Stamps, with a few additional cents, can be exchanged for a $? (Jovernment Savings Stamp, or twenty of them for a $'J.r Treasury Savings Certificate, which bears tft rate of 4 per cent Interest compounded quarterly. If held till maturity. These .5'-. Certificates are short-term, rock-bound, absolutely safe, virtually tax-free, easily redeemable In case of need, and they never depreciate, but alwnvM are worth more than wa paid for them. No applicant for membership in a IMlar-M-Week club is ever black - lulled. l'very memter becomes richer for Joining. Any postmaster can initiate" new member, and anyone can Join at any organization or industry where government savings ,.,-;iri-ties are sold.

SEE CITIZENSHIP AS A DUTY Happy tht Community Which Hat a Number of Public-Spirited Men and Women. A good citizen la a man or woman who takes a real interest in his or her home and the community in which he or she is maintaining that home. A good citizen la one who makes every effort within his means to make the community a better place in which to maintain the home. A good citizen does not "forget when election day comes round. He makes It a point to remember that It is his duty as well as his privilege to exercise the right to the ballot. A good citizen takes the time and trouble to study the candidates in the field at election time. He looks into their records, weighs the facts concerning each one, and determines their worth as public officials. Then he votes accordingly with reasonable intelligence. A good citizen studies the propositions that will be submitted to him at election. He weighs the value of the Issues, determines from the facts as e he understands them, whether the propositions are good or bad. And he votes accordingly with reasonable Intelligence. A good citizen, then, is one who fulfills his civic, home, and political duties; one who is a part of the government of himself and his fellow men through the ballot that Is given him by the American Constitution. He Is not a sldestepper. He meets the Issues squarely and answers promptly when his name Is called. He is present at the polls on election day and he knows what he Is doing when he casts his ballot.

An attractive chlldren'a playhouse which does not spoil the appearance of the lawn, can be made as shown in the drawing. It consists of a wooden frame covered with wire netting, over which vines are grown. The frame Is made of seven six-foot two-by-foura,: Vine-Covered Playhouse Pleases the Children and Does Not Injure the Appearance of the Lawn. the rafters being set with their bases five feet apart. These are then covered with wire netting, and the seeds of wild morning-glory, clematis, or other rapid-growing vines are planted along the edges. The frame may be painted green for better appearance. In six or eight weeks, the playhouse Is very attractively covered with vines and furnishes a fine palace for the children to play. Popular Mechanics Magazine. Evil in Scarcity of Homes. Much of the unrest of the country Is due to the scarcity of homes, according to F. Itoger Miller, secretary of the chamber of commerce, Macon, (la., who addressed the conventlou of the National Association of 'Commercial Organization Secretaries at their meeting in Chicago. "Marriages have continued at the rate of 1,040,000 yearly in the United States," he said. "But in 1918 only JOMX) new homes were erected, while in 1910 the number of new homes was only 70,000. "Tills home shortage Is not due to the wir, but to a neglect of the principles and Ideals of our forefathers. Out of every 100 Americans CO are discontented." Mr. Millar suggested placing the housing problem upon a community basis, with opportunity for every man to buy a home suitable to his income, end enactment of bills to provide federal aid for home builders. The Tide Cityward. The congestion of population In urban dlstrlcs Is an old complaint. It seems to be an Inevitable consequence of our Industrial civilization, and none of the schemes for checking It havn proved effective. The disclosure by the census that the cities are growing seven and a half times faster than the rural districts is therefore no surprise. It Is not so much that the cities have forged ahead .i that tlu untry has fallen behind. In the years fr'in l'.UO to 1!'J0.

0 y P o THE COUNTY FAIR. The season of county fairs is at hand; the period between harvests when the farmer and his family have a short respite from tasks that demand every daylight moment. The Pocket is famed for its splendid county fairs and few other sections of Indiana or adjoining states can successfully compete with the splendid farm product and live stock exhibits that are assembled each fall and supplemented with entertainment of a commendable character. Time was when the county fair and the occasional circus were the chief sources of entertainment that marked the high spots for dwellers in the country. That, however, was before the advent of the automobile and the development of transportation facilities to their present perfection. As a result, of the progress that has been made in the last quarter of a century many county fairs became only a memory because they failed to keep pace and merit the patronage that was once accorded them. In' those communities where agriculture is still the forefront and where pride of achievement is still strong the county fair has developed in keeping with modern conditions and is fulfilling a useful mission. It affords opportunity for a review of thev achievements of the community during the past year; it makes possible the renewal of acquaintanceships and an interchange of ideas that are helpful, and it breaks pleasantly the monotony of a busy season for the husbandman. The county fair of today is conducted on a higher plane than were its predecessors; it is a really helpful institution and that largely accounts for its survival in those communities where it is still a success. When men and women feel no pride in the work which they are doing they have arrived at a dangerous stage in life, and it is the pride of achivement alone that will keep the county fair alive. It is a fine thing to enter into friendly competition with one's neighbors to ascertain who produces the best live stock, the finest grain, the most luscious fruit, the most perfect vegetables. It is excellent for the housewife to display the results of her handiwork, her achievements in domestic science instead of permitting the success that crowns her efforts to be known only to members of the family that she serves so unselfishly. It is well that for a little time these things should be displayed where all may see, that mention of them should be made in the press, in order that they may he elevated above the commonplace and provide some measure of happiness that ac- . companies recognition of work well done. The county fair season is at hand, with enough of the frivilous to season the real significance of the event, so make the most of it for it is worth while. Evansville Courier. t t HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

She. was guilty of an error of speech which is quite common, and which Is condemned by all authorities ou English.; The word "aggravate" is derived from a Latin word meaning "to Increase in weight," and in English usage should be employed only to mean "to Increase in gravity or severity, to become worse." Therefore, it Is correct to say that a disease or si misfortune mayt be aggravated, but not the person who has the disease or Is subject to the misfortune. But tids Is drifting somewhat from our'subject. It Is to be borne In.mlDd that "aggravated" does not mean and should never be used In the sense of "angry " "vexed,"' "exasiKrated,"' "Irritated," etc. In the sentence with which this article began any of these four words, or a word of similar meaning, should be substituted for "aggravated."
