REAL RURAL PLANNING. A ho if ty ra'.l-d Fru-mH f th- Native Landscap' Is -.vork in to prcit-ivo for pub'.Ic enjoyment th3 most br.iutifu! r'-cions of Wisconsin. The socioty H v.'frkirj with th" stat- tl j)artm'nts of immigration and nprriultur', trth of which hav become !ntT't-'l In ;t sjN n.'.i.l program of rural plannln'. Thi prosrrarn has l.t.n .st.-il.lihel ty enactment f t a statt- law. It is th- Jirst of it.s kind in th United Stat'H. It should not bo the laut. T'r.d'T the law it i.s th duty of tho rural plan nirn; division to promote the health, pmeral w'.far and amenity of the settler, the best possible transportation larilitle, and the creation and devoI pmnt of the- niof. logical community centers, where pf-op'.e can come toetht-r for social and l-u.-i-rif-si? relations. More- iriten stini: than the law itself is the enumeration of the specific duties of rural planrdnff cornmittcts, as set forth by one oihcial. They rnu't: ".eeure and retain for the public, as prtrkf and otherwise, liberal borders of timber around lakes. "i'rovide for attractive driveways and beautiful places through natural forests, and improve the trener.il outlay of hiuhwas and driveways. "Plant ti and nhrubs, including nut-bear-Inc; trees, .long roadsides. "I'rovide parks and wood-lots in country, town, village and rlty. "iWuro for farming communities, villages, it!: and traveling public, cumfinjj Krounds nlonc hUhway. bordering lakes and in forests. "Vake. school grounds more attractive by proper planting of trees, fhrubtf and Mowers. "Heautlfy cities und villages by proper lay. ioc out of streets, better planting, and by peeurinkj advice of nrchltects on location of huildincs and monument. "Mark and identify places of historic interest. "Discover and retain for the public extraordinary geological ai:d scenic features. "Secure ue of fairgroundsi for campin sites and properly arrange and beautify them for that purpose. "Secure funds by gifts or otherwise and donations of lands, building, monuments and other material for any of the above purposes. "If possible, secure the services of a landscape architect. "Establish social centers In every community in the country." There cannot be too much of this sort of endeavor in any state. If thU or a jimllar program were put in oferation generally the rural communities and .smaller towns of the near future would be far more attractive anil healthful places than the best of thm aro .odaj'. Eventually, too, it might inspire the big cities to make more effort in behalf of beauty, recreation and health within their limits.

WHAT THE LEAGUE DOES. Some opponents of the League of Nations have feared it because they thought it would be too .strong and do t"o much. Others have scorned it because they thought it would be too weak and d' too little. The distinguished French statesman Vivian!, who was at first dubious about the league, after having watched the council in operation for several months and having observed a session of the assembly, sum? it up thus: "The league does net run the world. It is not a uper-parllament or n supreme government. It raises above the frontiers the srt'U international problems, proclaims Juk solutions and presents to the consciences of peoples thosv o4uestions which heretofore have been settled by the few." If it will do this, the league Im worth while. Its frlfnds hope that eventually it will do more. Even Herbert Hoover, at ilrst strong for the I-ague, then skeptical when a cabinet portfolio tempted him. Is suggesting now, sur.re the Geneva assembly that the "thinking and acting people" of the United States are goir.g to experience a change of Mew s a result of that body's attitude toward, particularly, the present deflation of markets and inability to dis-pose of foodstuffs and other commodities. He says: "Hitherto the farmer and the laboring man have r.ot been irrc-y interested in the large national problems arid foreign relations. Now. with agricultural and industrial products lacking a market, there Is ur.usn.ial reason for the producers of commodities to think nationally and intern itio-aKy." Tile war Itself did mu:h to enlarge people' political and economic thinking. F'r.ce th" armistice, however, there has bet n a sort of shrinking of the nation within its own shell. That tendency was wholesome to u certain ext. r.t, but it can never be carried as far .ts it was in the o'.d das of isolation. Markets, linance. labor, politics, government, all mast be visualized on a far bigger .scale than before. The world is woven tcg-ther today .. firm'y an 1 fatefully that no nation can live unto itself thoun a ration, if it tried hard enough, misht die unta itself It has come to a pas. where a proper, understanding of foreign market conditions, fortig.i exchange, disarmament, the German Indemnity.

Mr. Hoovr add: "There h s been pb nty of talk and writlnjr about gre;.t rt adjufni'-nts .-.fter the war, but th' .-.. !i ie bten n great readjustments. There l.a- ' en no concerted thinking or action on any ,( '.h- vast problems of the world since th- u:ir. !;.e progress in national and International polu if s was made during the armistice P riod, but it stripped with the signing of the p-ace treaty, until th me'ting(at Geneva." It is time that this protjre. was resumed. Fortunat -ly there are many KiKns that "thinking and acting people," including Mr. Hoover, and the more enlightened nivmbTs of congress are getting into some sort of framo of mind to deal with the problems demaridimj solution. Mr. Hoover, himself, might do worse than remember that no one contributed mere than himself toward the stagnation of readjustments since the Pari treaty, of which he now complains. Ivt him take his nhare of the responsibility. But for the un-American nuper-par-tls-amhip of stich men as Mr. Hoover and Messrs. Taft, Vickersham. Hoot, Hughes, and other, the league of Nations might have bten in operation long" ago. Mr. Hoover put party above what he knew to be risht as he now confesses after a manner that might be likened to Goldsmith's "bray of a repentant .ass."

THE HOSPITAL QUESTION. From the manner in which politics work Its way into eerythir.g with which the government has to do, disregarding service and caring only for pe'f and plums, one must concede that if in any way possible, Sou'h Bend and St. Joseph county nhould try solving th ir hospital problem without going into hospital business. A county hospital might be a go-al thing but for two things; the cn. and tho politics. South Bed has two hospita!s and Mlshawaka one. and the three with a little enlargement particularly of those in South Bend, would solve the problem, provided arrangements were made by which the people's poor and indigent could be cared for at the people's expense. It Is all right for people to sit back and criticise the city' hospitals because they do not throw open their doors to the care of every poor creature a common criticism that greatly exaggerates the facts, but it ia another matter for the hospitals to get the revenue from which to care for them. South Bend as a political unit has been decidedly selti.sh with the hospitals. Some method should De devised by which a tax can be levied with which to pay for hospital service for the indigent sick, and If needs be, to establish ward in which to house such patients. It can be worked out if men with a nrind to will set themselves to working it out. Assuredly the expenditure would be less than the cost of a county hospital probably $."00,000 and then some $200,000 a year for upkeep; less by J130.U00 a year on the upkeep. We cannot afford that burden at the present time, and the sensible thing to do Is always the best. We talked about a county hospital a few years ago as a memorial to the soldiers, but the people have since, by popular vote, repudiated everything that the soldiers fought for, and so let the memorial go along with the rest. o OPEN-FACED MEN. Newspaper paragraphers like to poke fun at advertisements announcing the Ioms of an "openfaced man's watch." Who and where is this openfaced man? they inquire. But. truly, he i.s no joke, the open-faced man. May his tribe increase. The countenance of the open-faced man is no mask, concealing guile. His character Is written on it, so that all can read, for he has nothing whereof to te ashamed. The open face is an open book. Scrambling metaphors, one may say the open face i also a mirror, receiving m3 reflecting lluht. The countenance of the open-faced man is a cheering liuminant when other men's faces are shadowed by .cloom and despair. But he Is no professional Sunny Jim. The light in his countenance is the faith that is In hi heati and other men find strength and courage in hkI resence. Despite the parngraphers, ther are indeed such persons as open-faced men. There are many of them, but still not enough Scripture gives hor orablc mention to the men of open face, for in Corinthians it is written: "We all with open face beholding as In a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same Image from glory to glory."

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

JUST FOLKS By EDGAR A. GUEST

TilK JJLUi; LAW BLIKS. Somewhere in the U. S. A., There stood a gloomy man Who sang a dismal roundelay, And this is how it ran: I've got the blues. The blue law blues! I'm bluer than a brewer Every time I read the news) That a man who does, on Sunday, Anything he likes to do I put into jail on Monday For a month or maybe two. If I cut up any capers, S ich as going for a walk; If I read the Sunday papers Some old bird will make a squawk. They've took away my Sunday, like they took away my booze, And left me with those blue law blues! Ho gave a harsh, hollow moan; He breathed a fervent curse; And in a rather gloomier tone He Hang this second verse: I've got the blues. The blue law blues! They're keenln' me from sleepin Are these Puritanic Prues. The Kitten ain't molested If he mews the seventh day. The birds don't get arrested When they sing a Sundav lay, But mc en Sunday morning If I dared to even grin. Without a word of warning Some old gink would run me in. I'm Ji'.'t about a happy as the lhms in the 7oo Since T linv got those blue law blues! (Copyright. IOL'0.)

The Horoscope

FRIDAY, IHC. 31. The astral iule for thi.-; day makes for slow, retarding and unsatisfactory conditions. The ponderous Sa:urn dominates by lunar aspect a position that brings obstacles, delays and congestions. This latter also applies to the physical condition which should receive m.ore than the usual consideration, guarding against colds, chills and kindret ma'adie. The adverse position of Mercury adds Its fpiota of disappointment and obstruction, especially in all matters having to do wi ll 'etters., writing and publishing, liusinesi generally may suffer from this doirvle planetary hostility. Thus? whose birthday it is may have a year of delays and obstacles. Thwy should have particular regard for their health. A child born on thi day may find a good many ob.'taded to overcome in its life. It should bo carefully taught the importance of absolute integrity. (Copyright. 1920.)

Tili; WAY OF OTIIFKS. Others have shown to me the way To bear tho burdens of the day. This task of mine is nothing new, Others have had this work to do; Others have suffered here and wept And faithful to their ourpose kept. This is my time to meet the test, And I must face it as the rest. Timo was I thought that I might miss So terrible a task as this! Might go through life and never know The weight of care or hurt of w.-. And once 1 fancied w lien I felt Across my back disaster's welt, 'l hat 1 was meeting there alone Such stings as no one; else hau known. I cried t'.loud against my pain. But found my whimpering all ir vain, And then I heard a vofte declare: "Your lot i.s what all ru n must bear. Others have wept the time you smiled, Borne grief and have been reconciled; As they have done, sc must you do When care and sorrow come to you."

But that was in tho years ago. And since that time I've come

know That no one on this earth -cnpes From trial in its various shapes; No man is singled out to faro Along life's way ex-mi;t from care. And I would see my trials through As braely as- the others do. (Copyright, l'j.".)
