AUGUST 12. 1920.

POLAND'S FATE. Conquest of Polar)'' by th bolsheviki is but another pLoode in a Ion; and tragic career. Thr woes of Folind have been familiar in the ears of evident ot histoQ- sint-e the c-ariiest school days of the oldf-a: living man. Tho Slavish group known as the Tole af prared as early as the ocond century vT th'-- Christian era. For many centuries Poland ha3 been the victim of attrition between two hostile force, the Germans on the west and the Mongols and Tartars on the east. Its numerous 'rartitSns." from the first made by Catherine of Russia in 1772. to the last in 1793, when the dismemberment was completPd. brought the ancient kingdom to be the "door mat of Russia." as it vaa contemptuously characterized by the great emprc.v. Thrre Is reason to believe that in its ill-fated effort to restore her boundaries to the original of 1772 Poland w? ;ncouraed mainly Vy the French. We know that in a mild way she was discouraged by the English, who were anxious to restore trade relations w.th Russia. Whether Poland now is to be completely dismembered by the Red hordes dePnd.s upon the allies. Without strong outside military assistance she appears destined to that fate.

AN URBAN NATION. The census bureau estimates that complete -returns will show more peopb- living in the cities and towns of thU- country than in the rural districts. The majority is expected to be slight, amountin? to 51 or o2 percent of the nation. F.ut even that margin is MsmifKunt. It means that for tho first time In Its hL-tory the Fnlied States has become prepondf rantly urban a nation of city-dwellers. Heretofore the nation has taken its fundamental character from the rural population. Hereafter its character is bound to be different, and different Ideals are likely to prevail in politics and KOvernment. The s-teady, nservati e. solidly (Anierican farmer yields to the more volatile and variable city type. Agriculture yields to industry. Americanism" undergoes a change. The city rules, and sets iia own interests first. That, at least. Is the tendency. Th flowing of rural population to the cities dors r.ot mean necessarily that the nation is not going to be able to feed itself. Production per man on American farms, always high, has ste.ndi'y rien with the increasing use of lahrtr-Niving machinery. It may be assumed that better machinery and transportation and better farming methods will enable a much smaller part of the population hereafter to proide all the food needed. People can eat only about so much food. Increased consumption of wealth runs mainly to manufactured goods, and mere people are needed in the cities to produce them. Thus economically the rhar.ge will doubtless work out well enough, in spite of temporary dltlu-Uities. The most serious phase of the situation is the possibility that the citie may upe their superior votinp power ignorartly and selrishly against tne mterestd of the farming clas. and therefore, in the eng run, against their own interests.

In her eagerness to tell the world her divorce troubles, to bear out the philosophy.

ThT ij nothin'g so suited to the needs of the people as the fair, with its complex mixture of fun, frolic and education. The competition stimulates and tends to increase j roduction. Then there are the ra'fs, music, chows and other attractions that offer attraction for all classes. The germ of humanity sprouts into a plant of social equality and there is happiness everywhere at the fair.

THE LEAGUE COURT. Whiln American opinion as poisoned by republi-e-.n hate, generally seems to consider the League of Nations either dead or in a state of coma, the League stems to be at le.ist preparing to function along .some important lines. Among its preparations is the creation of an international tribunal, along the lines prescribed by article 14 of the Ieagu covenant. That article reads: "The council shall formulate And submit to the members of the League for adoption plans for the establishment of a Permanent Court of International .lustlee. The court Khali be competent to hear and determine; any dispute of an international character which the parties thereto submit to it. The court may also give an advisory opinion upon any dispute or question referred to it by the council or by the assembly." The (ouni il last February appointed a committee of 12 jurists of international rerute, amonj? them Klihu Roo of Xew York, to draw up a plan for such a court. The task was finished and the result submitted to the council of the League at its recent meeting at San Sebastian. The plan, for which Mr. Root is given chief credit, was adopted without change. 'It remains only to appoint the members of the court and give it a place of abode, and then this body, intended to supplant the virtually e'efunct Hague Tribunal, will be ready for busi-net-s. with more backing than its predecessor had.

Other Editors Than Ours

thi: A(;i: or iu-ttiiikmkxt. (Port land Orttmlan.) Seattle lias two postal clerks who refuse to quit work, although officially discharged and placed on 'he r..-don list because of old age. They claim to be rerfeetlv able to do the work required and not x. nvious lo be listed as pensioners. Of course theso men h reached :ho retirin; age 65 years and. accordinc to rules rf the department, are excused from further duties. They get r.n allowance of $60 per month, but prefer to remain as workers. The man who .set an .ige at which all must, retire from active life and live on pensions made a sreat mistake. He did not know human nature. The idea cf the working age of man coming to a terminus at r.n. SO or years is something that few active men are willir.5 to accept as good gospel. There are men engaged in active work who will soon celebrate the closing of the flrst century. Some of them epe,t to be in the harness after they hav passed the hundred-mile post. The man who has worked dum:: a long lifetime would not be happy in the supposed enloyment of a workless old aye. Why set a limit to the days of usefulness? Just as well enact a law setting the date of death, plac of buri3l ani prescribing the cost of th funeral.

The Tower of Babel

BUCK FEVER SEZ It begins to look as if some ef the, phonograph records being made by the candidates miht get a little scratchy before November. Harding of Porchvill may find Marlon a kind of a cramped, coopy little place before the end of the summer if he don't hit the trail. Gov. Cox has already started his speakin' tour, probably trying to keep ahead of the raise in railroad rates. When he comes to South Rend I'm going to ask him what tho oflice boy situation is on the I'ayton News.

There is

NKLLir. considerable

room for

doubt in assuming that Nellie is a derivative or a contraction of stately Eleanor. Though some etymologists claim that the former name is evolved in the lengthy process between the original Helen and the final Lina, there are two other sources from which Nellie might be sprung without such a formidable history of derivation. The Dutch have a name which they call Nelle, meaning "horn" which is pronounced the same as our Nellie and might easily ye the direct progenitor of this popular little nam0. For those who reject this derivation, there is the German Nelle which has wide vogue In all countries under teutonic influences. It was pvnlvrd through the quaint English PetroneHa, a feminine name given in honor of Saint Peter. The first Prtronella. was said to have been his daughter. For that reason, the name was exceedingly popular in Spain as Petronilla. In Norway, it made its appearanre as Petronille and was shortened to Nille, a name which corresponds very closely to our Nellie. The bloodstone Is Nellie's talismanic gem. It will preserve her health and protect her from diseases, especially from those which affect the Wood. Tuesday is her lucky dav and 1 her luckv number. (Copyright. 1020.)

THURSDAY. AUG. 12. This promises to be another particularly active and interesting day. according to the rule of the planets on sublunary affairs. This presage applies to social, domestic and affectional matters, as well as to more prosecy business concerns . Under the Lunar transit of Mercury, the abilities will be quirk, sharp and ready and the mind witty and sagacious, making for splendid mercantile and professional progress. It may not be advisable, however, to attempt to make any radical or important change. Those whose birthday it is. have

LOOKS. Ermyntrudo knows how to pull The broadest kind of A's. Etht linda's mind is full Of Lord Dur.sanv's plays; All of Mr. Bergson's books Amaryllis reads. Rut Marv Ami has- -ot the look?. Ami t I it is all she needs. She can wax enthusiastic over movies "realistic"; She can say "You' tell 'em Bryan, I ain't got the parts of speech!" Cut her cruelty to grammar fioesn't even dim the glamour That irradiates her b.auty like the bloom upon a peac h. You may think that woman's mission is to load in rudiiion; You may think a mental aura round a maiden is subl.me; But you never will be troubled when her netratives are doubled For you'll tumid" for a look'-r, every time. Phyllis finds in plays by Shaw A quiet cultured thrill. A irirl who murmurs "I ha" saw," Would make her rather ill. Araminta likes to dip In Mr. Strindberg's stuff. But little Mamie is a pip And that well that's enough! Though she has you staring mutely when she rippbs: "Posilutely I" Thouerh it jars you to the marrow when she gurgles. "I hae went." Cast your eyes in the dirt ction r,f her apple blow c niplexion And you'll sit and listen to her. in a state of soft content. And although you'll often shiver. you wdll readily forgive her When you find she's never locked inside of magazines or books. For It's not their brains that wins you there is some-thing deep within you. That inevitablv tumbles for their looks' the prediction of a suerpsjful and happy year, both in business and all other affairs. They should not endeavor to make any radica' change, and should consider their health. A child born on thi1 day will he quirk, clever, witty, popular, and will make a success cf Its life.
