A!! rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. 4 r, I. . .4, r-: . . ' t Prevent the Entrance of Typhus jv It is axiomatic that starvation and pestilence j-Jpllow in the,wake of every great war. The his::iory4"of .Europe is replete with pages narrating v-the awful, suffering which hunger and disease inflicted upon a people after their country had -been ravaged by war. The World war is no exception, for whole districts of Europe and the '-Near' East have T)een ' depopulated, and where once were flourishing communities and fertile agricultural districts today is seen only desolation and a population slowly dying of starvation r-and-(disease.:;' ; J. ':J
-The United States so far has been able to
escape both starvation and pestilence. But this
fortunate' condition is menaced by the first appearance of typhus in New York city, carried there by immigrants or by crews of vessels . touching European ports where this disease prevails. Typhus has taken a heavy toll of lives in the war "devastated countries. Relief agencies in-! elude .... in their - programs appropriations and medical units to combat its spread. They know that an. offering of foodstuff to the starving and sicl. is rinef fectual if it is not accompanied by medical relief for the thousands who have been infected by typhus. If this disease should obtain a foothold in the United States, it would require hard work to eradicate it. In view of its prevalence in Europe and of the suffering which it entails, proper steps
to prevent its appearance in this country should be taken. The first warning has been sounded. Let the immigration and health authorities unite to check the channel through which it may be communicated to our population. This is at the ports where immigrants land. . No immigrants from European countries should be permitted to enter our country until the plague bearers have been examined and isolated. "It is neither safe nor decent," said Dr. R. S. Copeland, health commissioner of New York city, in a telegram to Secretary Tumulty,
"to admit to the United States vermin infested immigrants." ' Science has demonstrated that vermin carry the disease. Hence, it will be easy to check the entrance of typhus. All the health authorities of the United States, co-operating with the immigration department, need do is to delouse the men and women seeking admission to our country. ' Immediate steps to check the spread of the disease have been taken in the ports where it has appeared. Continued precautionary methods should be applied until all danger of an epidemic has passed. The country still shudders at the high mortality caused by the influenza epidemic a few years ago. Typhus will claim thousands of our people if once it gets a foothold. Prevention
is preferable to quarantine after the disease has j
once begun its malignant spread.

The Danger of Routine President William Lowe Bryan of Indiana university spoke effectively here a few days ago against the danger of being satisfied with a mere routine knowledge of your occupation or profession. Unless you master fundamentals, he said, you will soon find yourself in the trap of your own habits. The skilled worker whose knowledge is limited to the machine which he operates and the process which he has been taught becomes an unskilled worker when machines are changed and new methods introduced. This is an important thought which the boys and girls of our community should take to heart. Many of them are satisfied to remain on a job
that pays well but does not prepare them for better positions. The years roll by, the boy has become a man, and suddenly he discovers that he is trapped by the limitations of his knowledge. Another boy is willing to work for years at smaller wages at another occupation because he realizes that his job offers training for advance
ment. He Studies tne iunaamentais Ot nis iraue Mrs. R. D. How does the United

for the promotion. This boy is not trapped, but
is free and independent, a master of his calling. He is not a slave of his job, for his mastery of its intricacies has made him ruler of his job. Richmond offers a splendid way in which aspiring boys and girls may escape blundering into a trap. The night school is intended to keep them, out of the shackles of ignorance and routine. Here they may learn fundamental
operations and principles that underlie routine.)
Let them master these and they may lace tne future serenely.
Good Evening r By Roy,KMoulton
LUKE SIMMONS ON - " rfr;4; "war and etc." Dear Roy I see by the papers that "While lialf the world is getting ready For peacevthe" other half is getting Ready' for war and all the nations Are willing to disarm but refuse to Give op their armies and battleships. Every country is willing to have all The other countries give up their guns, Which eeems fair enough, but, while There is all this howdy-do about peace And brotherly, love and etc., some of Our ex-spurts Jn the navy department Want to haul an old battleship out And let a lot of airplanes drop bombs Onto her to see if they can sink her, The idea being to find out whether To disarm by building more battleships Or by building more airplanes. We are bound to have peace, but we don't Know whether to fight in the air Or on the water while we are having it. And it seems to be quite a question And I see one bird has invented A projectile that will go 40 miles And will penetrate any armor plate That can be made, and another guy Has invented an armor plate that Nothing in the world can punch a Hole in it. And another inventor Has got up a dinkus that will Destroy a battleship by electricity When it is 112 miles away and never Leave a trace. And somebody else has Got up a new kind of gas that will Suffocate the whole state of New York From' powder that you can carry in Your vest pocket. Now if the airplanea Do blow up that battleship, does it Prove that we ort to build nothing
But airships or that we ort to build Bigger battleships that can't Be blowed up? I am in the late War, way up to the neck, and am so Deep in it and so busy right Jn my .Own sector that I don't find out much About the war itself. And now I And in the midst of peace and I can't Find out what kind of a bird peace is. I don't want nomore war and judging By the peace I have seen, I don't Want no more of that neigther. Yrs. Luke Simmons.
VENTURES IN COMMON SENSE
By ED. HOWE I try to have no plans the failure of whicti will greatly annoy me. Half the unhappiness in the world is due to the failure of plans which were never reasonable, and often impossible.
There is a certain weary look that appears on the faces of those who are bored. Look out for the weary look when you associate with people.
You must constantly, be on the defensive; politely but firmly. You have certain things coming to you by right; it is your fault if you do not get them. Many are trying to rob you; no one is looking out for your interests, if you neglect this important duty. V Others will not do much for you, and they will do much against you unless you watch out. The capital I is a good trade mark; bide it, except when It should be conspicuous, but realize its importance.
Plenty of people think selfishness means greed. It a man lays up fuel for winter, that isn't greed; that is selfishness. Selfishness means behaving yourself in as many ways as possible. It is a selfish man who does not wish to be known as a drunkard, a liar, a lout, a loafer.
I'm very tired of Mr. Greatheart, who, in his ambition to help everybody, helps nobedy. Mr. Greatheart does not discharge his duty to humanity; the man who modestly does a little good is a better citizen.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Tako It"

JOHNNY APPLESEED One day, long, long ago, a strange man came out of the East with a funny bag over his shoulder, filled with apple seeds. He was most always barefooted and he often went hungry. But the Indians liked him and were very good to him. He went from place to place throughout the Middle West his job being to plant his apple seeds. Often his bag of seeds furnished his only pillow at night. The Indians weren't any too friendly towards the white folks at that ime but they liked Johnny. I am inclined to believe that it was because he didn't want anything from them and because they saw he. was doing a good thing in planting his apple seeds. After a few years, fine apple trees began to spot the country and nice, fat, rosy apples poked their bodies toward the Sun and in the face of those who came to pick them. Today, on the Lincoln Highway, in Ashland, Ohio, is a monument erected to the memory of Johnny Appleseed. Little children were responsible for it a large number of them bringing a stone apiece as their share, as well as contributing tbeir pennies for the monument. They say that Johnny wasn't any too bright. But he had a job to do and he did it well. One doesn't have to do a large number of things to endear him to posterity. If he does but one thing better than it has ever been done before, he has earned the thanks and gratitude of thousands perhaps 1 millions! I shall eat my apple with greater happiness since learning about Johnny Appleseed and I hope that you will, too.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
THE SOREHEAD For years I went to Grocer Gregg's to buy my prunes and cheese and eggs; I went ten thousand times or more, and wore a path around his store, till every board I could recall, and every nailhead in the wall. And
my goat comes back to town." Then, for a change, I bought my goods, my prunes and cheese, at Grocer Wood's. I thought I'd trade there for a while,
since change of base is all the style, and then return to Gregg's once more as in the festive days of yore. But, meeting Gregg upon the street, and giving him a greeting sweet, he banded me a frozen stare, as grouchy as a grizzly bear. Oh, he was sore and full of bile because I left him for a while; he seemed to think he owned my soul and had a mortgage on my roll. The
good old years will roll . away, and whiskers red will change to gray, and dynasties will rise and burst and bowwows turn td Wienerwurst before I go to Gregg's again to blow my hardearned iron men. The merchants in this world of ours should always speak their thoughts with flowers; if they express their thoughts with bricks they drive off patrons by such tricks.
AUTOS COLLIDE; MEN LEAP OUT AND BATTLE WITH GUNS CHICAGO, Feb. 16. One woman and four men were wounded in a pistol fight after two automobiles had collided. Four men leaped out of each car, according to witnesses, and fired at one another. The woman hurt was a passer-by hit by a stray bullet. Police believe the battle was the result of a gang feud.
