TODAY’S RELIGION.
Religion is not a collection of creeds,
Theologies, dogmas, or rules,
A burning of incense, a prating of prayers,
Or ecclesiastical tools.
Religion is not singing psalms by the
hour, 1
Nor mumbling your prayer-book all day,
Nor reading the Bible, nor going to church
Though these are all good in their way.
No! Religion is vital, religion is life!
Full if impulse which flows from the
heart,
‘Which seorns all hypocrisy, snivel and
cant,
And is honest in every part.
Religion is telling the truth in a trade,
Without even counting the cost,
And having the courage to stand by the
right
Tho’ fortune and friends may be lost.
Religion is thirty-six inches per yard,
And sixteen full ounces per pound,
And sixty whole minutes of other men’s
time—
Not watching those minutes roll 'round.

EVERY DAY PHILOSOPHY.
By L. A. Miller.
When I think of the number of
thoughtless, unphilosophical young
people running around all over the
country, I almost tremble for fear of
what may become of us. None of
them seem to have the least idea of
what they are here for, nor a proper
conception of the duties of life. They
think they haven’t time to stop and
take a philosophical view of what they
are about to do, but they will have
to take the time to repent of their
follies. There is just one thing which,
if honestly believed, will save many
a great mistake.
What is that? That there is an-
other side to everything. The other
side is often the very one you want
to see, but it takes a philosopher to
get at it. You want to get into the
habit of looking for the other side.
It is largely a habit, and one that
is not difficult to fall into. Where it
is once established it affords a great
deal of pleasure by throwing light in-
to dark places, changing cold facts
into agreeable truths, and, above all,
in leading us to knowledge of why we
exist, how we may get the most com-
fort out of our existence, and at the
same time be of the greatest benefit
to the world. Philosophy is not a
hard word, despite the fact that a
great many stumble over it, or stand
abashed and disheartenend in its
presence.
By some means or other the masses
have come to regard philosophy as
mere sophistry, and a philosopher as
a sophist, a queer genius, an imprac-
tical person whose mind is taken up
with all sorts of fanciful schemes.
More erroneous conclusions than
these are scarcely possible. Philoso-
phy—nphilos, love and sophia, wisdom,
—the love of or search after wisdom.
In its broadest sense it may be defined
as the universal science which aims
at an explanation of all the phenome-
na of the universe by ultimate causes;
the knowledge of phenomena as ex-
plained )y, and resolved into, causes
and reasons, powers and laws.
Philosophy is the thing to study.
Not exactly the philosophy found in
books, but common sense philosophy.
A great many ask how to go about
studying this sort of philosophy. The
first step is to realize—not merely to
believe—that there is another side
to everything; also that the visible
side may not be a fair index of the
thing itself. It will then be neces-
sary to cultivate an inquiring disposi-
tion. When this is well establshed
vou will be a common-sense philoso-
pher. It must be remembered that
doubting and questioning the truth
of a proposition are very different.
The philosopher never doubts. He
may question a point but he never
doubts. He knows that it is, or is
not, and he makes it his business to
discover which it is.
- SERENE PHILOSOPHY.
Effusive source of evidence and truth!
Without thee what were enlighten’d man!
A savage roaring through the woods
and wilds,
Rough clad, devoid of every finer art
And elegance of life.
—Thimson.
Never doubt, never question a point
and look for the other side on all
propositions, and you may then be
ranked among the common-sense phi-
losophers. And I might add a look
at the bright side of everything and
you will then be happy and contented.
Latest in Pencils.
The newest wrinkle in pencils is one
whose point is constantly heated by
an electric current, the same as the
familiar electric iron. It is connected
by a plug and cord to an electric sock-
et like the iron and other familiar ap-
pliances. The writer grasps and uses
it just as he would an ordinary pencil.
There is a special shield to protect
the fingers from the hot point. The
heat is so intense that one may write
on steel and other metals. It is there-
for useful for marking tools and the
like. It may be used for decorative
etching on wood, leather and even
glass. It is far safer than any ordi-
1922, as shown by a survey of 10,000 |
representative farms and groups of
farms made by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This is a
drop of about one and five-tenths per
cent. based on 1920 census figures,
which placed the agricultural popula-
tion in rural districts at 31,359,000
persons. Not merely workers, but
men, women and children are includ-
ed in the estimate. ! SE
Among the geographic divisions,
the population movement away from
the farm was relatively strongest in
the Pacific States, and the percentage
of loss was greater than the average
for the United States in the West,
South, Central and New England
States as well as in the Pacific group.
All other divisions were below the na-
tional average.
The movement from farms to towns
and cities is estimated at about 2,000,-
000 persons, partly offsetting which
was a movement of approximately
880,000 persons from cities and towns
to farms. This left a net shift from
farm to towns and cities of about
1,120,000 persons, or about three and
six-tenths per cent. of the rural agri-
cultural population at the beginning
of the year, Births on farms were
925,000 and deaths 265,000. The ex-
cess of births over deaths reduced the
net loss in agricultural population to
460,000 persons, or one and five-tenths
per cent. of that population.
California leads the world in hydro-
electric development.
In 1917, California has a total es-
timated investment in hydro-electric
properties of $353,000,000; New York
State, including Niagara development,
$124,000,000. California’s population
was 3,100,000; New York, 10,000,000.
California’s per capita investment in
hydro-electric development was $114;
New Yorks was $9.50. It is estimat-
ed that in 1921, California public
utilities expended $13.50 per capita on
hydro-electric development. ;
And thereby hangs a tale. Califor-
nia farm lands are probably the most
valuable in the United States. Cali-
fornia has been extensively developed
by the use of the electric motor for
pumping purposes.
Electricity has given the farmers
of California power for irrigation and
has been electrifying the whole farm.
The papers are filled with articles
discussing the problems of the farmer.
Electricity in California is solving the
problems of the farmer by putting his
farm on a business basis which elimi-
nates as far as possible the hazard en-
tailed by the element through lack of
moisture during the drouth periods.

——“My son,” said the father who
was somewhat addicted to moralizing,
“this is the age of specialties and spe-
cialists. Is there anything you can do
knows what you are going to do; both
may be mistaken.
Don’t neglect to observe the traffic
rules and laws, for if you do acci-
dents will surely follow. If you
haven’t them, the Motor club will
supply them.
Don’t pull away from the curb in
front of a trolley car.
Don’t pass another vehicle going in
the same direction at street or road
intersection.
: Don’t try to pass between a stand-
ing vehicle and a moving trolley car.
Don’t follow a troiley car or a mo-
tor car too closely, either may have
to stop on short notice.
Don’t cut corners sharply. Drive
to center of street before turning.
Don’t cut in sharply ahead of a trol-
ley car.
Don’t pass a standing trolley car
while said car is discharging or re-
ceiving passengers.
Don’t neglect to test your brakes
regularly.
Don’t cross tracks unless you are
sure you are right.
Don’t shift gears when crossing
railroad tracks.
Don’t park your car too near rail-
road or car tracks of any kind.
. Don’t pass street cars on the wrong
side. There may be a car aproach-
ing in the opposite direction.
_ Don’t drive at night without a tail
light burning.
Don’t drive at night without
headlights. 5 ot ve
Don’t neglect to be careful at all
times. Carelessness causes more ac-
cidents and deaths than all other caus-
es combined.
Don’t stop your car on the highway
when changing tires or repairing car.
Pull off the road for safety.
Don’t forget that pedestrians and
other vehicles have a right on the
highways as well as you, and respect
them.
Don’t leave car standing without
tail light burning at night.
Don’t fail to use proper skid chains
on slippery roads, the use of these
will possibly avert a fatal accident.
Don’t drive from an alley or court
at a high rate of speed; drive slow
and sound your horn. ,
Dim your headlights when ap-
proaching trolley car at night, the
motorman will do the same.

To Shorten the Flag for the Sake of
Art.
Washington.—The American flag is
too long in proportion to its width to
be artistic and a reduction of 12.1 per
cent. in the’ length of the present
standard size has been decided by the€
Fine Arts commission to be th
artistic proportion. Show
In consultation with a committee
of government officials appointed for
the standardization of the flag the
commission decided upon a ratio of
1.67 to 1 instead of the present 1.90
to 1. That would make the standard-
ized flag about two-thirds longer than
its width.
- --‘The -decision was- reached through
tests of various sized flags flown Er
, the Arlington amphitheater flagpole.
