Shakespeare Shown as Master of Observation , How fortunate it is for us and for al! succeeding generations tjbat Shakespeare wrote down what he liud learned by his observation of *nen. women and children. Ben Jonson knew Shakespeare intimately. Apart from his Immense respect for Shakespeare’s literary genius—Jonson placed him higher than nil others, paat or present—he *aid that Shakespeare had a charming disposition, kindly, friendly, gen•erous. open and free from malice. It is as certain as anything can be that Shakespeare was at home with all classes of people; he knew royal personages and he knew guttersnipes. Jlrouning said the business of poetry was to, chronicle the stages of nil life, and that Shakespeare was the greatest poet because he reported accurately more phases of human nature'than any other writer. His plays are not only beautiful works of art. they are guide books to hufiutnity; they tell us the latest news of human nature. He said himself that the purpose of his poetry was to hold the mirror up to nature; and whenever we open any one of his plays we see an accurate reflection of the hearts and minds of men. There is no art so important as the art of living. In reading great literature we are learning life itself. —William Lyon Phelps in the Amer lean Magazine.

that John J. Raskob had put a price of SI,OOO a year on his services as a stenographer and secretary. W h y that, as they figured It out, was more than SB3 a month. Young professional men were lucky to be making as much money i n Lockport 1 n those days. if no man Is a

prophet in his own country neither is the youngster, with whom We play as a lad, generally conceded to have money making traits or capabilities above' our own. That was the case in Lockport when it became known that Johnny Raskob had written to the owner of an Ohio city street railway company for a job as secretary, estimating his. value at a figure that seemed absurd to those with whom he had been raised. But John Raskob get the job and at his own price. The man who hired him was Pierre S. Du Pont, then owner of the traction system in Lorain. Ohio. Lockport residents thought that the youth was lucky in landing such a plum. • < Before he left Lockport young Raskob had been making S3O a month. He had asked for a raise to $lO a week. When this was refused him he decided that his talents were not appreciated, lie made up his mind to seek fields in which he would receive better rewards. So be wrote to a friend, a young draughtsman. Sterling H. Bunnell by name, asking him if there was any ojienlng for him~tn Lorain. He received a reply that Pierre S. Du Pont was-seeking the right sort of a young man to act as his secretary and aid in the street railway business. When John Raskob told his friends that he had applied for the Job and had asked for a salary of 11.000 a year they thought at first that he was fooling. When they were convinced by the earnest young man - that he actually had asked for such pay they were certain that he wouldnT get a reply even. But they were wrong and John Ih -kob was right. He invariably h.ss toen on financial matters ever sitjee. The boy who surprised his Lockport companions In the. matter of getting such a big salary was born in that up state New Y<rk city in 1879. Ihs father, a .-did arid substantial citizen. Wait in the tobacco business. John was an average student in school. His quick* smile and pleasant maimer made him popular. He early showed a liking for business arid an aptitude for figures. His father died when John was in high school. Mrs, was left With four children. The future chairman of the finance committee of General Motors didn’t try to complete bls education by working in his spare time. He decided that the sooner be got a real job the better.- He realised that he needed special equipment to get ahead in the business world. He left high school and took a commercial * course in stenography and bookkeeping. He buckled down to idles and soon qualified to take dictation and to keep a set of books. He got a job at $5 a week. That was considered fair wages for a beginner In Lockport in those days. After six mouths he asked for an increase to $7.50 a week. His employer agreed to give it to him, but it was some months before the raise materialized. Following two years’ work during which he became an expekV stenographer, an excellent typist and a first class bookkeeper, be asked for $lO a week. His employer didn’t think the youngster was worth such wages to him. That was the turning point in John Raskob’s life. He wrote to Pierre Du Pont and went to work for Iran in 1900. The next year he represented his employer as treusfurer ~i>f a street car, line to * Dallas,- Texas. His salary had been raised to $3,000 a year, proving to skeptical Lockport friends that he hadn’t thought too well of his earning capacity after all. He went .to Wilmington, Del., in 1902, as assistant treasurer of the E. 1. Du Punt de Nemours company. Later he became treasurer and then vice president of the big chemical concern. Mr. Du Punt Joined him in buying General Motons stock and John Raskob soon became the directing fluautial genius of that vast corporation and one of the country’s outstanding business leaders.

DESIGNERS ENTHUSE OVER TWIN PRINTS IN DIFFERENT TONES y- ■ INCOMING prints which are registering for immediate wear and for the future are very interesting. They tell their own story, as to wheth- ® er they are intended for informal daytime frocks and ensembles or for formal afternoon and evening wear. You know the moment you see the new dark-toned neatpatterned types that they expect to be worn throughout the Informal daytime hours I' , W about town or in the realm i g of sports just as you are per- .wreryM-v fectly sure that the gorgeous big florals are destined for a Informal Dre«. of Twin Prints, career in the midst of dressy

afternoon affairs and evening formats. Designers are enthusiastic over the new “twin prints” which are produced in two different tones of one color so they can be used together. In the picture the body of the frock is made from the darker color of a twin diamond print wfille the trimming is In the brighter shade of the same print. These smaat-looking twin prints are especially adaptable to the very popular contrast-yoke fashions. The lighter portion makes the deep yoke and in most instances the-sleeves, while the darker silk which carries the identical patterning Is employed for the rest of the bodice and the-skirt. The accompanying jacket, for there is almost sure to be a complementary jacket, will more than likely be styled of the same dark silk as the skirt portion, so that, where worn on the street the ensemble presents a quiet tailored appearance. Plaids are the smart thing in prints for spring, -both in crepe silks and chiffons. At this moment- it is the costume blouse of plaid silk which is initiating the vogue for plaids. It brings most any cloth suit right up to the minute In fashion, if beneath its fur-trimmed jacket there is revealed a blouse of vivacious plaid. It is easy to distinguish the silk

prints which have just arrived on the scene, because of their colorings, which have a distinction all their own. the tendency being to rup to rather neutral tones, such as for instance, a delicately outlined plaided effect done In black and gray on white. When the new plaids, stripes or checks are not in use then fancy turns to medium-sized spaced types—on preferably black, navy or brown backgrounds. Emphasis is being placed on blue in every key with navy and white combinations made a leader. For Formal Occasions. In creating evening modes, designers are doing everything to center attention on the elegance of the fabrics of which they are made With this object in view superfluous frills and furbelows are conspicuous by their

absence. Most of the gowns of distinction are classics in simplicity. In order tu impart individuality to formal dress, fashionists have turned to novel and striking decolletage as a solution to the problem. The newest gesture in the way of low-cut necklines is the “harness” decolletage. See it carried out effectively for the gown pictured This dress which emphasizes the opulence of fabrics which go to make up modes of ultra formality, is styled very s.rnply of exquisitely sheer metal cloth. Its intricately strapped decolletage is that decorative, to adn further trimming would detract from the symmetry of “lines” which distinguish this gown. Not only Is sheer and shimmering lame weaves adding their glamorous beauty to the evening picture but the glint of their gold and silver splendor is reflected in many a gorgeous blouse as it tops a skirt of handsome velvet or peaks from beneath a richly furred velvet jacket or coat on a wintry afternoon. .

Frocks of satin, taffeta of crepe are often tied from to shoulder at the back with searfllke arrangements, the streamers of which soften the decollete lines.

Feed Values of Oats and Barley Figures Submitted by Wisconsin Expert Not Based on Field Data. The question as to the relative valaes of oats and barley for hay and for grain was submitted to Prof. G. B. Mortimer of the Wisconsin College of Agriculture, who replies as follows: “The figures which I am submitting are based upon values rather than any definite field data which I am able to supply upon this subject. A 60bushel crop of oats would be 1,920 pounds of grain and since it is usually considered that a good crop of oats will yield one pound of grain for each pound of straw. I am also figuring that there will be at least 1,920 pounds of oat straw. In 1,920 pounds of oats (grain) there would be 1,351.68 pounds of digestible nutrients. In the §ame amount of straw there would be8<5.52 pounds of digestible nutrients, making a total in a 60-bushel oat crop In both grain and straw of 2,227.20 pounds digestible nutrients. Field Data on Oats. “I am figuring from field data which f have on yields of oats and peas for hay that a 60-bushel yield of oats If cut for hay in the right stage should give at least two tons of hay. In two tons of oat hay there would be 856 pounds of digestible nutrients. The comparison is In favor of cutting the crop for grain if the straw value Is considered but if your inquirer is only Interested in the grain value set against the hay value. I think he is correct that he will have a greater total amount digestible nutrients from the crop cut as hay. Figuring Barley. “Figuring barley in a similar manner the total digestible nutrients in a id-bushel crop would be 1,524.48 pounds plus 816 pounds to be credited to the straw, making a total of 2.340.48 pounds of total digestdde nutrients for grain and straw. If a barley crop which will produce 40 bushels of grain per acre were to be made into hay there would be approximately 1,918 pounds of digestible nutrients. "The cost of binder twine, and the cost of threshing expenses should also be considered as these are not required when grain Is harvested as hay." Bams Need Ventilation for Health of Animals Too many builders .of modern farm structures forget that even a beast can live only three» minutes without air. As a result, farmers who would not think of starving their flocks and herds or permitting them to go for days without water deny-them fresh air for hours. / Solution of the problem is a ventilating system properly designed and installed. Such as system consists of outlets to remove the moisture and foul air and inlets to replace the removed air with fresh air. Ventilating windows in the dairy barn wprk very nicely until the cold s;>ell conies, after which they are all closed. Open front poultry houses are quite satisfactory if left open. The trouble comes when the open front is closed. A ventilating system, carefully designed. while often costly, conserves beat by controlling the outflow and Inrush of air. It continues to function as well in cold spells as in mild weather.

Plan to Have Uniform Colonies of Honey Bees It should be the object of each beekeeper to build his colonies up to proper strength for the honey flow. No matter what the condition of one colony may be in respect to another in early spring, they must all be in uniform condition^as soon as possible. An inspection may show that some colonies have more bees and brood than they actually need, whereas other colonies are in need of help. In this case th® beekeeper may take brood add bees from a strong colony and give it to a weak colony, but he must observe the precaution to leave the queen In her own hive. In the same manner combs of honey may be taken from colonies overly supplied and given to colonies in need. Take Every Precaution ' ' Against soil Erosion When farming hill land, one must take every precaution against erosion. Live stock when going to and fro from farm buildings or to watering places, walk In single file which soon forms a path. If these paths run up and down .hill, a gully is made that ruins hill pastures and fields. One way of avoiding such paths is to arrange gates so as to direct the “trafy fie” around the hillside instead of and down. If such measures are Zaken. in the course of years, much(land will be saved that otherwise would have been washed away. Right Cropping System Will Control Erosion I “Thousands of acres of farm land now being eaten away by erosion can be saved by nothing more than good . cropping systems,” said Dr. R. 8. L Smith, University of Illinois. On steep [ slopes special precautions in the way of terraces, sod barriers, straw and brush fills and soil-saving dams must be used. “Investigators at the Missouri experiment station found that on a gentle slope seven inches of soil were eroded away in 56 years under continuous cropping of corn, while in a rotation of corn, wheat and clover, the time required for seven inches of erosion was 437 years; a grass sod reduced erosion so that 3,547 years will be required to remove the top seven inches.” Erosion Is widespread on the sloping Adds of the corn belt. Doctor Smith stated. All that is needed in many cases is to take care of the land by good cropping system and even rolling the cornstalks down so they will be at right angles to the slope of the hUU

Improved Uniform International Way School ' Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D.. Member of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (®. 19S1. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 8 JESUS THE WORLD’S TEACHER LESSON TEXT—Luke 6:27-40. GOLDEN TEXT —And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesus the Great Teacher. JUNIOR TOPlC—Jesus the Great Teacher. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Living by the Golden Rule. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Accepting the Standards of Jesus. The context, verse 26, clearly implies what is elsewhere positively declared (John 15:18-21; Luke 21:17) that the followers of Christ will be j hated and opposed. In this lesson i Christ, the master teacher, sets forth principles governirg tli® life of his followers. I. “Love Your Enemies’’ (v. 27). Love here is not a natural affection. To love friends is easy, but to love enemies is only possible to those who have been made partakers of the divine nature—been V>rn again. 11. “Do Good to Them Which Hate You” (v. 27). Love is positive in its nature. The true disciple of Christ will not merely refrain from doing injury to the one who hates him but will be concerned with and engaged in doing good to shim. True love acts according to its own essential nature. 111. “Bless Them That Curse You” (v. 28). To bless means to speak wel l °f- to invoke a blessing ilpon. Injury by words is hard to let go unchallenged. The one who is a child of God and allows the Spirit of his Lord and Redeemer to express himself through him will return blessings for cursings. IV. “Pray for Them Which Despitefully Use You" (v. 28). We should pray for those who abuse us. The’ best commentary on this precept is Christ's own example, “Father forgive them for they know not what .they do" (Luke 23:34). When Christ was reviled, he reviled not again. When he suffered, he threatened, not, but» committed himself to him that judgeth righteously (I Peter *2:23). We areTn the special care of God. V. Patiently Endure Wrong and Injury (v. 29). The Christian is not to bristle In defense of his rights but is rather to suffer insult, injury, and even loss. This expresses the law which should govern the individual’s action, but should not be pressed so far that evil doers can go unchecked. Rightly constituted government has been ordained of God for the protection of the innocent and the punishment of evil doers (Rom. 13:1-8). VI. “Give to Every Man That Asketh of Thee” (v. 30). God himself is the supreme example of benevolence. He gives freely and generously but intelligently. This text does not authorize promiscuous giving. It does not mean that every request made by the idle, greedy, and .selfish should be granted. Evil would result from indiscriminate arid unregulated giving. There is a giving which injures the one to whom the gift is made. A man in poverty needs to be given away to earn his living. VII. Do as You Wish to Be Done By (v. 31). This is called “The Golden Rule.” It is the sum total of Christian duty as it pertains to human inter-relations. Human beings carry with, them the consciousness of obligation which is the touchstone determining their duty to others. If this rule were lived up to, the problem of capital and labor would be solved, and war would be put to an end. International relations would be peaceably adjusted and all profiteering in business would end.

VIII. Be Ye Merciful (v. 36). This means to be filled with pity and compassion, to enter Into sympathy with every need of others. The heavenly Father is our supreme example. x IX. Censorious Judgments Condemned (v. 37). This means that we should not seek out the evil or faults In others for our satisfaction. We should not sit in censorious judgment upon the action of others. ? X. Compensations of Right Living (v. 38). The one who gives freely of money, loves sincerely, makes the Golden Rule the standard of his life;" shows mercy and kindness to others, and refrains from impugning the motives of others, will be fully rewarded in time. XI. Danger of Following False Teachers (v. 39). The one who - does not know God and the way to heaven will lead others to ruin. XII. Those Who Reprove Others Should Strive to Live Blameless Lives (w. 41, 42). We should remove evil doing from our own lives before bringing others to account. XIII. The Sin of Profession Without Fruits (vv. 43-46). The one who is In fellowship with God will practi- e the principles which ' reveal the nature of God. Many Never Heard God pity us, nineteen centuries have passed, and if we laid our ears to the ground tonight we could hear the clank of the chains and the crack of the whip that tell of the bondage of 800,000,000 of our fellows who have never heard that God signed their emancipation.—Willis R. Hotchkiss. Man Wills Not, God Cannot There is a poverty that paralyzes the hand of God. If an individual has not a foundation of sincerity and seriousness and faith, there is no starting place for him. He cannot work his mighty works in us.—Rev. A. B. Edgerley.
