[while it is at the same rime working <on those things you know of, that you are fully alive to. The scientists have developed a ! whole shelf full of books on this during the last ten or fifteen years, ■ mostly as a result of close observation of picked human individuals, ! great numbers of them. And these observations in all cases have been card-indexed as you would card-index a hundred thousand books in a public library. The result is that a great deal of interesting information has been obtained on sub-consciousness, much of it valuable to the medical man in his task of healing sick mankind. There are few of us who have not . experienced “night-terrors” sometime between babyhood and old age. Night terrors and nightmares are the action of the subconscious mind, and one of the writers, a Dr. Bowers, informs us that they date back thousands and thousands of years through our ancestors to the days of the “flying lizard” and other giant horrors that devasted early "humanity. Then there is the “gravity fair

as Hie scientists call it- —the dream we all have had of falling great dis- । rances. It is heritage of the age when our distant forefathers lived in treetops to escape the dreadful animals that preyed upon them. They were always in danger of falling, and always in terror of it. and their danger has descended to us in the sub-con-scious mind and only conies forth in dreams. But when you slip into the pantry and devour the wife’s last piece of lemon pie, you can’t blame that on the sub-conscious mind! PI T THE WORLD RIGHT BY THE SWING OF MONEY. In a recent letter to Earl 11. Obern, of Chicago. President Harding goes on record as an enthusiastic advocate of the pr; ciii eof saving money. 11declares that saving is the only means to r< establish the world’s ‘stores of working capital, and expresses the hope that the public may take this lesson to heart. The President’s letter follows: “You ask me for an expression regarding the subject of saving money. “I have lot many jears been pretty • '.veil convinced that saving money is largely a matter of habit. People who make a good beginning at it presently discover that it is by no means impossible, and it is alogether a good thing to do. Just at this juncture in the world’s and our country’s affairs it is certainly one of the most useful contributions that people could possibly make to putting the world right. I do not believe there is any other way to straighten out the tangle ' of financial and economic concerns into which the world has been precipitated by the war, except to produce a good deal more than we consume, । which means to save and by our sav- ■ ings to reestablish the world’s stores J of working capital. | “I have no more earnest hope than i the public may take this lesson to heart and learn to save as, in view of our great national good fortune, they could be able to do.” The progress made by the disarma;ment conference is such as to en- , courage the hope that something I really worth while will be the out- 1 ■ come of the meeting. The parley sol far has accomplished more in so short a time than was generally anticipat- | ed at the time the meeting was called. The Chinese question and other problems of the far East are yet to be I । threshed out and will test the diplo- 1 Imacy and statemanship of the wisest j delegates. Aladdin, when he rubbed the lamp, (summoned no"fcenii to compare with I what has attended Warren Gammel i Harding the past few years. In that (time ho has graduated from the i 1 humble post of a country editor to 1 occupy the seat of authority in the

greatest conclave in the history of the world. His career eloquently tells rhu possibilities of a career St the command of every American ! boy.—l.os Angeles Tinies. If we can place confidence in the present attitude of the five great powers toward armament, we can eel assured that the “next war,” if i ever comes, will be so far distant hat those now living will never see ’ . The protest against war has become so universal and pronounced that a. calamity of this kind is not likely to occur for many generalion.-, if at all. Japan expresses her willingness to accept the proposal to scrap the Anglo-Japanese alliance providing the present program of the arms parley is carried out. Japan, about which this nation has had serious doubts, seems to be among the most eager to forward any plan for ihe reduction of armament. Victory bonds are crowding toward par very fast, being now quoted at $99.90. The other denominations of Liberty bonds also are climbing upward, indicating a healthier condition in our country's finances. Eord Rosebery said: Thrift is the surest and strongest foundation of an ■ Empire; so sure, so strong, so neces[sary, that no nation can long exist that disregards it.” Social health note in a Wisconsin paper: Mrs. Deacon Akers is enjoy- I ing very poor health at the present writing but hopes to suffer a complete recovery soon.

X Correction. | The Ii dept ndent was in enror last I week in giving the title of tpe Pam ease as the “Lewis Paul Heirs with the Farmers' State Bank.” T|ie bank had nothing to do with th|e case, though rumors had indicated that it wa^ one of the principal pajrties in the caust^ The title of the case was “Jacob Paul and others vs. Paul Johns.” Aaron Seitz as executor appointed by Lewis Paul, maker of the will, was one of the defendants. Our time being especially crowdeo last week, not only with the routine of business but with improvements being added to our plant, we failed !to give the case the attention we ! should or to verify the rumors afloat. |which. of course, we should have done. We verv much regret the error and hereby extend our sincere apology. The average newspaper is kepi pretty busy correcting other people’s B' * \ S' My Thanksgiving Resolutions.
