THE VALUE OF LITE. The phrase, "aa precious as lite," Indicates only a relative measure. Trae, a man will give almost anything for his own life, but that is not a group estimate. The munitions Interests and the makers of guns have no difficulty in putting a price on human life. That is not to say that they would procure with money the killing of an individual; their business is wholesale. But they would readily put a price on the lives of the youth of two, three or a dozen nations. For the profit there would be in it for the munitions or gun making business, they would foster the war spirit, keep up the fiction that international peace la impossible and spread abroad the propaganda of ridicule against all who advocate a sane adjustment of the dl2erences which arise among nations. And the manipulators of the international money market have their price far human life. They do not hesitate to say that the young men of England or of France or of the United States should be sent out to kill and be killed to make gcod the risks of the money lenders. The statement is openly made, and has not been denied, that the beligerent attitude of France toward Russia, is due to the huge sums of money loaned by the French to the czarlst government. How much, then, are those loan3 estimated at? Millions of lives snuffed out; other millions of young men maimed and blinded and crazed; millions of children starved and neglected; millions of victims of typhus; woes upon woes heaped upon this and generations to come. How cheap is human life!

"JTJST LIKE A MAN" "JUST UE3 A W0iIAN.M It may be said without fear of contradiction that a given man's Ideal of a woman, and that same woman's Ideal of herself, are two absolutely different things. For as regards themselves the sexes vision differently. So general masculine Ideals of femininity, and femininity's ideals of itself, are most unlike. We have John's John, and Mary's John; Mary's Mary, and John's Mary; and this square Is far more difficult even to apprehend, much less resolve, than is the squaring of the circle, or any mental glimpsing of the fourth, dimension of space. Yet if the eternal two ever did really understand each other. Interest wcmld Immediately cease; fo rwhat you understand you appropriate, in a Bense you become that thing. In creating them male and female, therefore, so like yet unlike, Providence constituted a distinction and difference that should prove a perennial source of interest and joy; tvith Incidental exasperations, it may be, and perpetual

wonder. Just like man,'' " just like a woman," are the commonest of phrases but what it is to be "Just like a man," or "Jubt like a woman,'' who can truly say? That changeless "central core cf identity," without which neither manhood nor womanhood can grow, was fixed In the beginning and, on the phjsical side, like the laws of the Medes and Persians, altereth never. What has grown, does grow, and must grow, are the mental and spiritual possibtlitieb inherent in man and weman, the continuous development of which me.; civilization, and all that that connotes it for the individual and the rate. Man has alwa; 6 bad some notion of himself and tome ideal for himself, a goal to

work toward, an excellence to embciy. To be strong and brave, to be capable of the day's work be it chase or battle, to go a breadth beyond the need of the moment, gain headway, save something so that the next day's work may be eased or lessened fcr man always works with the thought of eventual rest this la the skeleton history of the ages. First enough for today, then enough for today and tomorrow, so throush labor to w-ealth, which is another came for stored-up labor or assured possession such is man s the toiler's life. And what of man's ideal of wiman during all these centuries? Why, as his supreme helper, of course;

and as man's helper woman has had to play a very diversified role, declares Scribner's Magazine. THE OLD STORY TELLER There was a little advertisement, printed in one of our exchanges, that stopped the blue pencil from marking and the long shears from clipping for a fewmoments because it set the mind a-wandering. It merely stated that the school board desired the services of a good story teller. Of course that did not mean

that the school required a man or woman to make up lines and set them to music. It meant what it said, and that was the cause of the thinking. The old story teller cf the neighborhood was one cf the characters of .by-gone days, whose name will never be ' forgotten. He could bold an audience of boys and girls until the fires went out and the old clock tolled twelve times and began again the round of ancthe rday. Those stories never grew old. although related many times. There was something strange!? charming about the weird and fanciful tales of witches and hobgoblins that closed the doors on sleep. What boy was there among us who did not appreciate the stories of hunting wild animals and capturing savage Indians? Then what about tbe narrow escapes of first settlers from armed bandits, witches and ghosts that questioned their right of citizenship? ThoDe things, and a thousand others equally as thrilling, rush to mind as the memory spots are blushed and orightened, and we long for the days of the story teller. Yes, they have story tellers in tbe public schools to interest the little tofs, and they succeed as -.veil a. in the past.

WHAT a contrast to the last eight years it win be If Senator Harding realizes his ambition to have the strongest cabinet that can be brought together.

POXZI would make an elegant secretary of t&e treasury In a Democratic administration. He could get the money to spend on airplanes and wooden ships.

IT IS the towns that are unable to care for all the people they have that are complaining the loudest about the census figures.

IF the cost of paper continues to soar, the paper a dollar Is printed on will soon be worth more than its face value.

When a man is keeping his eyes on his enemies some professed friend comes along and gives him a hard Jolt.

" In the new Spur blend you find : The richness of the full bodied Oriental leaf tempered by the mildness and fragrance of Burley and other choice home-grown tobaccos. It's a happy blend that brings out to the full that good tobacco taste. And what's morel Satiny imported paper, crimped, not pasted makes an easier-drawing, slower-burning cigarette.
