Smoking Out Japan Members of the United States senate, intent

upon proving to President Wilson that he is not the whole show in a treaty-making way, may bring about incidentally and as a sort of byproduct a very desirable event. They may smoke out Japan. Everyone knows that Japan got what she wanted at' the peace conference by allowing the other powers to shiver over the thought of an alliance between Germany, Japan and Russia. Not everyone knows just how much was con

ceded to Japan. In fact, very few have anything

like exact knowledge. But we who are critics

are pretty sure that Japan got too much. She was given German property in Kiao-Chow, railroads and industrial improvements and such. Germany had a ninety-year lease on the town and neighborhood, with twenty-one years expired. Has Japan slipped in for the remaining seventyeight years? At the outset, Japan promised to turn KiaoChow back to China. Later, with the war won, she changed her mind. Japan, the last autocracy, is not so very popular with our senators. Her rulers must be getting restless under the grilling. Perhaps we shall have soon a statement, a pledge of Japan's intention to retire from KiaoChow at a definite date. Thus would senatorial opposition to the treaty bear good fruit.

as large a percentage of the men are taking general educational courses, needed for their vocational training which is to be taken later. A few are in miscellaneous courses. The federal board takes the man just where it finds him and trains him in the most direct course leading to his independence and usefulness. The personal wishes of the disabled men are

i given careful consideration in the selection of the

proper courses chosen for their re-education. These ambitions are. often great surprises to the

vocational advisors who are making contacts with hundreds of these wounded soldiers. A machinist, thirty-four years old, expressed the astonishing desire to play the piano. It seemed impos

sible, but he is having his way, and while preparing to earn his living by piano tuning, he is enjoying his association with the coveted instrument. A young lieutenant, with decided dramatic talent, held an office job before he went

overseas where he lost his eye. He is studying dramatic art and is anticipating a successful carreer in his profession. A writer who lost his arm and a mechanic's helper who lost a leg, are taking agricultural courses, and looking forward to that independence found in the farmer's life.

The list of courses in which disabled men are now

training includes over 200 different kinds. Theo

logy, medicine, law, journalism, music and art are among the professions for which they are pre

paring, while carpentry, plumbing, sign painting, machine shop work, welding, gas engine work, telegraphy, tailoring, shoe making, printing are

only a few of the selected trades and industries.

The list also includes all kinds of commercial and agricultural work.

Doing the things they have longed to do means that into the work will go an earnestness and enthusiasm that will result in efficiency and contentment for the disabled men who would otherwise be severely handicapped in their efforts to share in life's industrial struggle.

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors

BULWER-LYTTON II. Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton, was brilliantly versatile. As statesman, ha was far-sighted and astute; as dramatist, in "The Lady of Lyons." "Richelieu" and "Money," he struck aid held the popular taste; as novelist, he produced, some twenty-odd romances of widely varying type; as poet

and political essayest, he was less notable. During the early years of his marriage Bulwer was goaded to Incessant production by the need of making money. Although his wealthy mother's purse was open to him. her disapproval of his marriage and his work was so irrltatingly expressed that he finally had to refuse her assistance. The consequent driving necessity accounted somewhat for his facility and his quick sense of what the public was going to like next. By means of sparkling epigram in his fashionable novel, "Pelham," he early achieved a reputation as a man of the world. He then occupied himself with the crime-novel and the romance of mystery. The satire of Thackeray and others in Prazer's Magazine drove him away from the field of burglary and homicide, and he delved into history for subjects. This produced "The Last Days of Pompeii." "Rienzi" and "The Last of the Barons." In "The Caxtons" he founded the "true cult of the colonies." This and two more of his best .works responded to the popular demand for domestic novels. Tales of terror next attracted the public and Bulwer created a sensation by "The Strange Story," which came to him in a dream, and "The Haunted and

the Haunters," one of the most perfect ghost stories in English literature. Finally he wrote novels and satires of society. His very versatility perhaps prevented his digging deeply Into reality.

Indiana Bankers' to Telp Put Out Farm Record Books The. Indiana State Bankers' association and the Farm Management Division of the depart

ment of agricultural extension, Purdue university-

are co-operating to give Hoosier farmers more di

rect assistance in keeping a simple record of the farm business, so that income tax returns will be easier to make. During the last year, 68 banks in 46 counties have placed more than 9,000 record Looks with farmers. Keeping books on farm business is difficult with most of the record books that are now available. Farmers are tired after they have worked in the field all day and have little time to devote to bookkeeping, so that the book they will use must necessarily be easily kept in a short time. In order that a book of this kind may be available to them, the Purdue Farm Management Department has revised its former record book, making changes which the experience of more than 5,000 farmers, who have kept records, has shown desirable. These new farm record books

will be placed with bankers at the cost of publication. An agricultural credit statement is included in the additions to the new book. This will enabje bankers to, more intelligently extend or withhold credit to farmers, if made use of, so that banks may obtain a direct benefit from the use of the books as well as farmers. At the end of the

year, assistance will be available from the Purdue Farm Management Department in helping

farmers summarize their records to find the mar

gin of profit or loss and see where modifications

may be made in the farm business to increase the net returns. Agricultural agents of the different counties will co-operate in the distribution of books.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK TWILIGHT The poetic time of every day is at Its Twilight when light and darkness first try to touch. Twilight is the hour of the soul. At Twilight the day's work is finished. Meditation and retrospection begin. Like a soaring eagle whose body becomes smaller and smaller in his flight, until at last it is lost to view, so does the day recede and night creep on. Sometimes the Twilight is tied with a ribbon of sunsets, low and glorious sometimes darkness alone blots out the spark of the day. But however various in its approach, Twilight is always wonderful. Its a period of moods in which Nature finds a sweet delight and men find solace. It is at Twilight that I most desire to hear my harp, w-lth its faint echoes like distant tappings at the door of an imagined heaven. Then it is that I long for the strains of a violin for some master violinist to tell me with his harmonies what love is like or for some delicate flute, teaching life anew in its song to the heart. Twilight the laughing time, the thinking time, the playtime of men and women and children! No matter how many mistakes I make during the day, I want always to be right and fine during the moments of Twilight. I want kindliness and thotfulness and all generous impulses to sway me most just then. Twilight is such an appropriate forgiving time when every unmeantness may be obliterated from memory, and smiles may take the place of tears. v "Twilight and evening bell. And after that the dark."

From Tho Indianapolis Star. THE evidence brought out at the hearing of a house tub-committee Investigating War Department expenditures that almost 400,000,000 cans of vegetables, salmon and pork and beans were withheld from the market In order that prevailing prices might be maintained is not calculated to allay the growing indignation sweeping the country over the exorbitant values put on all the necessaries of life. Testimony was presented showing that the quartermaster general's department had planned to offer the big army surplus to the public but that the canners previously had prevailed upon Secretary Baker to withhold this supply until after the present canning season. In other words, here was a supply of canned vegetables which would have lowered the retail price to the consumer and would have afforded slight reUef at least a kind of psychological elation over the fact that something was coming down to a long suffering public. But cuch a procedure might have curtailed some of the profits which the cannera already had been receiving since the beginning of the war. So a plan was agreed upon "to prevent a drop in prices." A department of our government for the benefit of a few deliberately took a step which prevented relief for the ultimate consumers.

The head of the National Canners' association testified that a fear existed that contracts with Jobbers might be canceled if prices came down and that such a course would react to have a depressing effect on the growers. Contracts with growers are made in January and February, and yet this request of the War Department to hold up surplus supplies was not made until March, and so the surplus would not have affected this season's production. The canners' witness admitted that if two cans of vegetables for every person in the country were placed on the market that prices would be lowered but attempted to explain that speculators would have reaped the profit and that the cheaper goods would have been withheld until all high price stock had been sold. Practically all the prevailing unrest and discontent is caused by high prices and yet a government department was aiding the canning interests to maintain prices at their present level. According to that line of reasoning values stand little chance of ever declining. To use this argument, a small amount taken off the price paid to the retailer, the Jobber and the canner, finally will react on the grower who will at once lessen his production and prices again will advance. It is the age-old game of passing responsibility on to the other fellow. Meanwhile the consumer pays.

The boy knew nothing about ice and one winter morning he came running to his master with a large piece from a bucket in the yard. "Look, master," he said, "what a large piece of glass I have found." His employer said it looked very wet and jokingly told him to put it on the back of the stove to dry. He

j did so, and presently came running j back with the partly melted ice in I his hand.

"Master, It's the queerest glass I ever saw. The more I dry it the wetter it gets." "I don't know what It portends, but I fear the worst." "What troubles you?" "A guy who has been owing me $10 for a long time voluntarily came in yesterday and paid it."

Upon the victory of that day these contending interests, this vast alternative in the future, swayed and trembled." y Despite the stilted language of another day and the portly size of the volume, "The Last of the Barons" is read today because the characters who play so large a part in one of the great human struggles toward liberty are all human beings and not mere pup

pets, i he story is one of Intrigue and of battle, centering nominally in the Wars of the Roses and the struggles of the two great houses of York and Lancaster; yet the interest is far larger than a mere dynastic one; the rise of the middle class to power at the expense of the baronial, the growth of a national spirit in place of mere individual loyalty to a feudal chieftain, is the important thing in this manifestation of class-consciousness, the plain people uniting with the trading townsmen against the nobles. The great earl, who had made Ed

ward the Fourth King, found himself for very personal reasons trying to unseat that prince and to put in his place another Edward, of the house of Lancaster, heir to Henry the Sixth, whom Edward of York was holding a prisoner 1n the Tower. Yet Warwick's path was not an easy one; while his younger daughter was married to Edward of Lancaster, his other daughter Isabel was the wife of the King's younger brother Clarence, who was as

yet the male heir to the throne. How
