T: BIGGEST NEWS.

T.y far th- most important pic of news prints :r. thu rrPr thu yar i Rlvn to the people of South Ir..l in the announcement by Ire't Erskir. of the Studeraker corporation that the million dollar contract for nw bulMinKs has b'-en a'ardd to a loi-a.1 contractor. I; i th b'-r?ft news U-ciu" "Vf-ry rcsMer.t of th -.ty hm not dir d intcr et n this enter-pr.-o--It mean that within the next four ninths the Jl. (',. Chri?mAn Co. will spend the larger part of that million dollars in this rity. It m.ini that a very lar percentage of that bu? s.Jm v. ill bft distribute-! in pay nvflnpprr.rab'.y ?7''0on r,f the total joins' mt in pome fr.rm of labor e -. Th-tt mean that in fvVfr.il hundred-, of hnm'fl :hr will b" a s'e.idy revenue, that there will he, r.o cianttT of laek of a Jo!-, that in tho. homes the vivea and children will rot h- wonderim? hTh-r they will bo properly f.d. clothed, hous-e-d "Tird furnished with the necessities and the luxuries til lif. That means that the -e pay envelope-, will be deported in lora? banks and that the local merchant will know in advance that the steady stream of buyeiJ will not b broken during the summer month. in thL city this year. It mean that this pre.it sum is heinc; added to the permanent and tangible wealth o( the city and that riftur- painted by Mr. Hrsklne when ho announced his policy of expansion will be rapidly turned to a reality. K rr.Mny, most of all. that there Is an end to even the FUirpestion of a doubt that this preat project 1 to b carried out or that the ;idd. d population which it promise. will be jjain.'d. Kvery plan and every effort which lias been made to meet the chansimr conditions and tho expansion of th city will now be redoubled. ', The terms of that contract call for the completion of th-se building within four mouths. These fculldlnk'fl are Kin; erected n workshops for men tnd this d-finite date is a rallying call to the i ublic committers and private individuals to be ready with their added enterprise by the time the so buildings are erected. It is no longer a "promised' expansion to wh.ch the thought and interest is directed. For the expansion has begun and is hero.

A REVOLUTIONARY DISCOVERY. "When you get tired of reading of the expenditures of millions of dollars for batthhips, of the great fortunes npent for standing armies, of the vaft effort spent on destruction, you will be refre.'hed by the fact that this government has financed a cbaulmoora plant. - ion In Hawaii. Kisht years henc it is expected that the government will produce oil from the fruits of this tree with an unpronounceable name. Thl3 enterprise will rra?e the most dreaded word from the dictionary, if the statement of scientists be taken a correct. From the earliest aKs the one word that brought a fhudder by ita very hopeb --.ne.s was leprosy. It existed in the early üayn of written history and in the Bible it typifie the Vu- Kit.it dread on the p-trt of man. Medhune h.a:. be. n unabp- to di.e.iv r its cause. It comes, and ho terrible ia its scourge and so de astatine its power that the .nly method hieh either fdenn or rovernment ha thu? far been r.ble to up" in stoppln: Its spread is tiie ;.olition of its victims on a lonely i!and in the Pacific, there to ppen l their days in imj ly waiting for the end. Now it appears that oiler than the science of medieipe w ii s the know Ictlge in India that an oil fron; the chaulmoo.ra tree uould do much for skn d:.-a.-s. It u;ls tried on the members of the p t colony and it cures. Tiien bei.au the search fr the tree. It is found only in th- deepest jungles of Burma. It is guarded by wild b ;hants and man-o.iiir.? timers. The srory of tlie hunt th.-'e treep and their e rds :s or.e of the at dramatic pUodes of science.

BIG LAUGHS COMING.

In cleaning house phis spring, maybe you ran across tho old family album. 1 so. you had a laugh at the peculiar clothing. styin and solenn e.xr ressior on the face? of former generations. Did it ever occur to you. that our photographs are also going to get "the merry ha-ha' when future generations dL-vover them in some obscure nook of the airship-hous. s that will be in u?e 75 or 100 years from now? The marvels of today will be laughably oldfashioned later cn. It is hard for us to believe thin. That has always been the May. Vanity being, eternal, each generation while laughing" at the past is cock-sure that the j. resent i.-i "the real thin." Have you rerul Mark Twain's s.itire, "A Connecticut Yankee at Kins Arthur's Court?" , lbs film version makes movie audiences roar at the ludicrous effect of a modrn American, transported back into time 1400 years, unhorsing armored knight with a lafvJo and knocking them down like ninepins, with a flivver. The stately dignity of the ancients is farcical, from the 13-2 viewpoint. ' At lumber mills, teams u.'d to haul boards to boxcars, where they were leisurely transferred by roustabouts. At a modern mill, the lumber Is carried out to the boxcars gn a long conveyor belt, a sor of endle.se moving plntform. The lumber comes in a steady stream. An efficiency expert has calculated how fast the loader at the car should work, and the belt is geared accordingly. The loader works at a set speed or gets buried under oncoming boards. We regard this arrangement solemnly. But, having all the elements of humor, it will make future generations haw-haw. In the future, automatic machinery and inventions will free men from industrial slavery. Chcar. fast-flying airrlan; will enable all to live in the country. Cities, at night, will be deserted groups cf factory buildings. We. voluntaril imprisoned in cramped apartments or small houses, will seem queer to our descendants. Dally M'o go to work in our prison celh. to pound typewriter key;, push a pen or perform monotonous oreration? with machinery when we might all be free in th? outdoors of farmland. Will the future consider us laughable, pathetic or crazy? It's a good thing the average person's sense of humor is not highly developed. Othenvise, we might either revolt against the stupidity of civilization or laugh ourselves to death at our dignified solemnity.

HIS HOUR CAME. A crippled, deformed boy of 14. threw himself in front of a runaway horse at Sacramento, stopped its Mild dah and saved the occupants of a t-uccy from injury or worse. "I had thought about doing something heroic for years." said this boy. whose companions have beei largely his looks. When he suv other boys playintr. full of strength, of igor and complete, lie envied them the chance to perform the heroic. That new cult would trace his mental action to a sense of inferiority which inevitably turned hifi thoughts away from his own deformities to the .trer.gth of others. Normal bvs do not dream of such adventures as grasped hi.- imagination. They are ninre intent, upon play and tlie healthy exercise of youth. Had he permitted his thoughts to dwell u;on his own limitations, had he permitted pelf-pity to enter hi.s soul and to destroy it, had he never caugit the dream of accomplishment, there would have been no rescue in such dramatic fashion when this horse began its stampede. But he had figured out in his mind just such a situation. When the chance came he Ii. 1 not cringe in far but met the opportunity for which ids mind had been prepared. He acted automatically, rather than by volition. What this crippled youth did can be done by others in far d iff rent directions. Are ov. satisfied with the May you are haniling your job or dots the fact that th-re are hiuh-r I laces to be reached by effcrVt turn your mind to the thought of what you would do it the opportunity came? i-'ome-a.iy. that opportunity will come. What you are thinking today Mill have much to do Mith the May ou answer. If you have dreamed and hoped and pondered on tlie big chance, you Mill act as automatically as did the deformed boy when his dramatic monunt arrived. I'erhapt you have secretly admire! tlie, masters of big enterprises and perhajts crttici-sed th?ir m-thods and compared them Mith what yoj Mould do if your own small enterprise was a giant in s.z.e. Vcu may have turned your thoughts- to politics ar.d dramatized vourself as a leader. You will not te one unless you nre ready for leadership. This toy. struggling along on his crutches, became a hero because lie had thought of himself as i hero when li s hour came. It came and so Mill : our. c The rfs-so?i a girl wants two beaus is because then she karns all about both of them. '
