Not Only a Labor of Love, but a Great, Serious National Responsibility By BRIG. GEN. MILTON F. DAVIS, in New York Herald.

ISTORY will bear me out when I say that we are the most warlike nation on earth; at the same time the most unmilitary. This is a natural result of our national life—of the individuality of our forefathers, Indian wars and long-lasting Western

H

settlement. We are ever ready to fight at the drop of the hat, but never ready to come under military discipline. Individuality, personal initiative and personal independence are our national characteristics. The statement may be certified by the fact that we have had 104 calls to arms since 1776. We should grasp the fact that trained manhood is the basic factor cf national defense, and that the nation will be secure in proportion every citizen recognizes his responsibility and does his bit. National strength is the underlying principle of national growth, adbd to fulfill the mental, moral and physical fitness of our people are the thrHg. graces of better citizenship. We are not greatly interested in ourselves; we are now sitting on the back porch of life contemplating the end of a more or less perfect day. But we are very much interested in the oncoming generations of our nation, and who shall say but that on them rests the future of the world. The chronicles of recent years would certainly so indicate. orld barriers have disappeared. Our daily shopping is done in the international market place, where our own wares predominate. We are the creditor nation of earth. We have five-eighths of all the gold known : to exist. \\ e have to look only forty years to see where we shall be forty years hence and to realize in a measure that the responsibilities of our sons will be greater than ours have been. Their preparation is in our hands. It is not only a labor of love, but a great, serious national responsibility. Acquainting the Touring Motorist With Peculiarities of Local Regulations By FRED H. CALEY, Executive Secretary, N. M. A. When the National Motorists’ association advocates uniformity it does not propose having all traffic rules identical in all towns. The sort of uniformity needed is not similarity of rules, which is rarely possible, but a standardized form of acquainting the tourist with the pecu- j liarities of the local rules. At the entrances to all cities and towns there should be posted on signs of uniform size and character brief 'out 1 accurate instructions as to the details of the community’s rules. There is a healthy rivalry among cities in an effort to arrive at some more practical means of speeding up traffic with safety and of simplifying parking; and this should be But not at the expense of the motorist, or to his embarrassment. No tourist should be obliged to worry about what he should do in driving through a strange town. The instructions should be given him where and when he is accustomed to look j for them. In other words, he should be given every opportunity to i co-operate with the city in following out its traffic plans. Persistent Fight Against the Scrub Cow on the Farms of America By FRANK O. LOWDEN, Former Governor of Illinois. The average milk production for the entire United States is something like half the average production of the cows of the most advanced dairy countries in Europe. This would be inexplicable were it not for the fact that less than 3 por cent of the dairy cows of America are pure bred. The field for improvement, therefore, is vast; and the opportunity for useful service is stimulating in the extreme. It is the pure-breed dairy assooiations that arc making the most persistent and effective light against the scrub cow, which still remains in t overwhelming numbers upon the farms of America. Calf clubs are being organized all over the’country, composed of boys and girls, who become owners of one or more pure-bred or high-grade calves. Through activities of these calf clubs the dairy cattle of the community begin to improve. In the second place the club tends to attach the boy or girl to the farm. The successful breeders and farmers of coming years will be those now enrolled as members of boys’ and girls’ clubs. Angling Always a Problematic Sport; Ways of Fishes Mysterious By DR. HENRY VAN DYKE, in New York Herald. Angling has always been a problematic sport. The ways of fishes , are mysterious. Who knows where the salmon schools spend their win- i tere? Why the black bass will refuse .every temptation for a week and ; then suddenly, on an ordinary day, bite greedily at almost any old lure? | Why the rainbow trout planted in England thrive for a couple of yearn and then vanish away like the Snark that was a Boojum? Why the same fish planted in similar waters in New Zealand stay, and multiply, and grow enormous? Where the tilefish go when they disappear for ten years I at a time? Moreover, each individual fish of all th? game species sets a particu- . lar problem for his would-be captors. He lias his own prejudices and . j peculiarities about rising, bis own way of playing and his personal tricks < lof escape. No two fish are just alike. That is the charm of angling. You may say that every big salmon or trout caught on fine tackle means the solution of a new and separate problem. » ■ _ “We Have Been Sacrificing Women and Children on Altar of Mammon” By SAMUEL GOMPERS, American Federation of Labor. We have been sacrificing women and children in this country on the altar of Mammon, but the conscience of the people of America has been awakened. Child life of the country must be considered at all hazards. To say that the Constitution of the United States is impotent to protect the children of our time is begging the question. The courts have declared that laws which were passed by the congress of the country upon the demand of the people, to protect minors from undue exploitation, are void. That the people, through their representa- . tives. cannot pass a law to protect the child life of our time, is to lay the (greatest indictment against our competency. This movement of ours, commonly known as a labor movement, is born of necessity. It is the result of conditions, born in hunger by hun-ger-hunger for better food, hunger for better shelter, hunger for rest, hunger for recreation, hunger for music, the arts, literature —all that goes to make up a better and fuller life. • —— ; - Prof. Andrew A. Bruce, Northwestern University.—We must have a government by law. We cannot have a government controlled by the passions and prejudices of temporary majorities of excited and often ignorant men. Many of the reformers, sociologists, political science teachers and writers are as insanely Bolshevistic as are the dynamiters of Russia. They are not crude enough to use the bomb, but they are steadily undermining all our faith and all of our comradeship. Steve lovanovich, Gypsy “King.*’—We have a President in Wash- | ington. We hare the Lord, who is the king of kings. We have decided re do not n?ed a king of the gypsiea ' ' •

I -— : Only Escape From High Rent only way to get away from paylug such high rents is to own one’s home.

The most important consideration to the average family is that a home is bought with money that • otherwise would have gone for rent, plus a little more that
