HE three institutions which were improved by Christianity so mankind could profit from them, property, business and the home, are the same enes which in modern times have lessened the church’s influence. The solution is not for the church to seck to take the eyes of men from these three practical institutions and turn them toward heaven, but to demonstrate that the triumvirate can be enjoyed much more if religion is added to them. Before the time of Jesus Christ property, business and the home were such hard, exacting institutions, taking so much from the indi- vidual, that little part remained for him to give to religion. Then came Christianity and humanized these institutions. Christianity made men trust one another, and the institution of credit and banking which sup- ports our modern economic world was evolved. As a result business has become a fascinating game. It has become a rival of religion not because it places on a man so much drudgery he has no time for the church, but because of its pleasant lure. In the First century the home was a disagreeable, tyrannical insti- tution. Women were slaves. Christ lifted women up and started the movement which has resulted in the fact that now they are our spiritual comrades. tiality for culture and religion than the home in any other age. because our homes are such pleasant, engrossing places they detract from our willingness to attend church. This generation is tolerant of every- thing because it favors nothing, opposes nothing, believes in nothing. The luxuries, conveniences and advantages given by modern busi- | ness, wealth and the home have deprived the native-born American of vigor and initiative. CO-OPERATION WILL HELP FARMER By ARTHUR M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture, | The modern home, with all its defects, has far more poten- | ut | | | | | | Co-operative organizations can win ground for agriculture which | ean be consolidated and held. Legislation alone cannot answer the farmers’ problems. After all that may be done by sympathetic 1 egis- lation there will always be much that must be done by the farmers themselves. In business, in civic affairs and in religion, co-operation has achieved respectability as in nearly every field of human endeavor, yet when the question is raised to its application to agriculture it is a subject of criti- | cism. Why co-operation, when applied to agriculture, should be frowned | upon, why staid and conservative business men who have co-operated and are co-operating in many business, religious and civic enterprises ghould hold up their hands in horror, and allow a righteous dread to drown their souls, when farmers begin to work together, is past my limit of understanding. The object of corporate production and selling of industrial com- modities is the same as the aim of co-operative marketing of agricultural commodities—profit for the producers. The object of co-operatively promoting a civic ideal, or seeking jus- tice for a class, is not distinguishable from seeking a fair price for agri- cultural products and promoting justice to the farmers of America as a class. PRESS BULWARK OF DEMOCRACY By BRUCE BLIVEN, Editor The New Republic. Good citizenship depends on a good press, and true democracy can- not exist in the absence of an efficient press. Two recent developments in the press I regard as dangerous—the rise of the tabloid and of the chain newspapers in which a tremendous amount of power is centered in one man. If the experiment of political democracy, which is still on trial, does succeed, the press will have played a tremendous part. The press is and must be the eyes of the citizens in viewing the activities of the govern- ment. The United States has the most honest press in the world, and the only other in the world at all comparable is that of Great Britain. The American press is not subsidized. If by subsidization is meant that it yields to sinister influences and is bought off, I say emphatically “no.” The American government would never dream of such subordina- tion, nor would the opposition dream of such a thing. We have partisan editors in political beliefs, but that is because they have their own firm political convictions, and we can thank God for that. Py ss conditions in Europe are deplorable in that many newspapers are subsidized thewe. It is taken for granted in many places that news- papers exist for some sinister purpose—either to be subsidized by the government or by individuals, SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS OVERDONE By DR. WILLIAM KILPATRICK, Teachers’ College, eration as accepted authorities of conduct. Voting, bobbed hair and short skirts are a few of the symbols of the new freedom. Former standards of conduct were based on the Bible or the church or custom. Our youth are honest and alert. The demand is upon us to help them see the why of what is due, and, when they see, to help them to learn to do it. life is to be found at its best. But the present school is too often quite content to sacrifice the present in a doubtful hope of helping the future. Too often, therefore, it manages to get neither. The school does not intelligently educate. It over-emphasizes exam- inations. In this respect the regents system is a great evil. The wrong emphasis has so beclouded thinking that most parents, most teachers and most colleges fail to see what high-school education really should be. And in this the college preparatory school is generally worse. So long as the emphasis is on preparing for examination, by just so much is education forgot, the kind of education that really counts, SHOOTS YOUTH DAUGHTER SAID Italian Pleads Guilty of Mur- der of Star Football Player. Freehold, N. J.—Primitive justice compromised with the code of mod- ern society in the court of Freehold, { N. J., and Joseph Farruggio halted his trial for murder to plead guilty of the unpremeditated killing in Neptune of Harold Johnson, the high school football star, who, he believed, had betrayed his sixteen-year-old daughter, Marianne, The Italian laborer, father of twelve children, made the plea only after he was persuaded the people of New Jersey would not consider the shoot- ing of the popular nineteen-year-old youth justifiable. Plea Is Accepted. His plea was accepted by Supreme Court Justice Bodine after the prose- cutor consulted with the mother and father of the youth. Now Joseph Far- ruggio, who believed in the word of his daughter above that of all others and whose reputation in his Italian community was so good that acquain- tances helped furnish the cost of his defense, faces sentence for second de- gree murder, which carries a maxi- mum penalty of thirty years. The stocky little laborer friends have said, lived only for his The Fatal Shooting. family, was told that the *extenuat- ing circumstances” of his own code of justice and state’s testimony that he was antag- onized by Harold Johnson when the boy laughed at his idea of marrying Marianne, might make his sentence less than thirty years. Farruggio, however, only said “this is the end” as he was led back to jail. His wife sat in a corner of the courtroom after the crowd of men and women and high school girls had left. She wept with her children around her. She had brought two | loaves of bread, butterless, for her | family to eat during the lunch hour. { the trial i had Daughter Weeps. The Icborer reached through the bars of the jail and patted the shoul- der of Marianne when she followed him to the jail. Marianne, whose word to her father that Harold Johnson, a senior in the high school where she was a freshman, had seduced her, led to the fatal shoting on October 14, wept bitterly. “It was my fault,” she said, and buried her childish-looking, sallow face in her thin arms, “I'm going to work,” she added, when she was asked would support her mother and eleven children. “I want to do it.” The decision of the defense to halt came when the state's wit- nesses repeatedly said that Farruggio confessed not only that he the shot | Harold Johnson but that he returned | to shoot again and make sure he was | | | | dead.

J. Walsh.) LLEN BOGART sat on the tiny, rickety balcony that formed an entrance to the apartment which she occupied with her Aunt Viny. Underneath the balcony flowed a brook, somewhat low at that season. There was nothing much to see except the brook, and that van. ished suddenly behind the walls of a garage. Aunt Viny was within, sleeping. The heat of the torrid afternoon was grateful to her, for she was old and chilly. But Ellen could not endure to breathe the air of the small living room, therefore she had sought the balcony with her work-basket. But she was not sewing. Instead, she sat staring down into the brook trying to master some of the many difficulties that beset her. The great- est difficulty of all was Aunt Viny. For Aunt Viny could no longer be trusted to live alone as she had for- merly done while Ellen was away teaching, and Ellen could not take Aunt Viny with her because the old | woman could not be persuaded to leave the house where she had lived all her life long. It was just a ques- tion of Ellen's giving up her work to stay with Aunt Viny, and how could they live? All they had besides the meager rent of the lower apartment must be earned by Ellen and at a | distance from home. | She had come to the black wall at | last. There had been other walls, | gray walls, white walls, low walls— | walls that she had somehow succeed- | ed in scrambling over, but always she | had known that some day she would { come to that most dreaded obstacle of all, the black wall which admitted of no foothold. And now here it was staring her in the face. She had a momentary impulse to pitch herself off the balcony into the brook and so end her troubles for- ever, But that was cowardly and mean. Besides what would become of | poor Aunt Viny? Trembling and ashamed of her own weakness she buried her face in her hands. The sound of a distant shout made her take her hands from her face. Up the brook came sailing a flotilla of young ducks with a mischievous air | of running away. And behind them | stumbling through the shallows came | a little boy of three and one-half. The water was up to the top of his | blue-and-white socks, his hands were clenched, his little face knotted with perplexity, yet he was struggling de- terminedly on over the slippery stones, quite oblivious of whdt he was doing to his clothes. “Why, it’s Bobby Gregory!” Ellen exclaimed. She leaned over the rick- ety railing. “Bobby! Bobby!” she cried. “Look out! Don’t go any far- ther. There’s a deep hole just ahead | of you.” | The child looked up and waved his hand toward the flotilla. “My ducks!” he cried. Ellen sprang up and ran down the stairs with all the speed of light feet and slight, supple body. But before she could reach the wall that guard- ed the brook the disaster had oc- curred. Bobby, slipping upon a stone, had fallen head down into the deep peol and was out of sight. Ellen sprang from the | felt a hurt on one knee, | herself half way to her wall, fell, and found waist in wa- | ter. She groped and found the child.

He smiled back at El- len as he went away. Ellen climbed the stairs to her room and removed her wet clothing. Her knee was already getting blue and lame; she had hurt herself cruel- ly. “Why, 1 thought. An hour later as she sat again on the little back balcony she heard her name spoken and looking down saw Curtis Gregory with Bobby, shining and sound, on his shoulder. “Bobhy,” said the man, “has come to thank you and tell vou that he {is sorry he put you to so much trouble, can hardly walk,” she And he has brought you something.” FARM: He whispered to Bobby and Bobby | came up the stairs with something in his hand, “Daddy gives you the candy, and 1 give you this,” he said, lifting arms to put them about Ellen's neck. Ellen knelt and took the child in her arms. She didn’t know that far below the father was watching her carefully and comparing her sunny head with Bobby's dark one. It was a wonderful box of candy. Aunt Viny praised it as she ate of it. “It cost a pretty penny,” she said, “but 1 guess Curt Gregory won't mind. He's got lots of money. He ain't done anything but make money since his wife died, that's three years back. | 1 should think he'd pick him out a wife, That boy needs somebody to | look after him. Mrs. Bixby, Curt’s housekeeper, says she’s no match for him. He's terrible headstrong— just like his ma. You knew her, didn't | you?” [ “Yes, 1 went to school with her,” Ellen answered quietly. Two weeks passed. The time came for Ellen to return to her school. But she did not go. “Does Curt Gregory's hanging around here mean anything?’ Aunt Viny demanded. “Yes. He wants me to marry him. He says he thinks I can manage Bob- by. I think 1 can, too, for I love him. | And anyway Mrs. Bixby is going | away, so you see—" “I ain't going to leave here,” Aunt | Viny interrupted excitedly. “I won't be driven out of my home for no- body.” “No, no, Aunt Viny. You shall stay here. I'll run in the first thing every | morning and the last thing at night to see how you do. And there's go- ing to be plenty for you to live on—" Ellen’s voice shook with tears. But Aunt Viny was fairly capering. “Well, there. I always heard Curt Gregory was a kind, generous man,” she said. “I'm willing you should have him, my dear.” And Ellen was over her highest and last wall. Had Ideas in Advance of Scientific Progress Lansdowne house, one of the very few of London's old “Great Houses” was originally planned to anticipate the modern hotel with music “laid on” to every room. In those days no one had dreamed of wireless and radio, and the music was to be provided by an organ in an underground room. The strains were to be carried through pipes to any room desired. The organ was never installed, but it is believed that some of the pipes still remain. There is another curious relic of a plan that went wrong in a manse in the north of Fifeshire, Scotland. Over 100 years ago Doctor Chalmers was the minister of Kilmany, and deter- mined to install gas—then the latest novelty—in his home. He had the pipes put in, and then found that there was no supply of gas available. When the writer was in Kilmany some time ago, the pipes, well over a century old, were still in the manse, but the place was lighted by oil.—Montreal Family Herald. Says Stones Live and Die Stones “breathe,” live, age and die, announces a German mineralogist after an extensive investigation by X-ray and other methods. He found that gems possess characteristics closely resembling those of the human body. They absorb and eject carbon- ic gas, a function similar to our breathing. Crystals, as well as granite and other hard rocks, will show signs of age in time, and finally will break up into sand, which he describes as their way of dying. Bridge Problem Q.

First Successful Planes For hundreds of probably thousands, men dreamed of machines for flying and according to legend, some of them may have actually flown. In modern times Dr. Samuel P. Langley in 1903 built a airplane which seemed at first a failure but proved in later years to be successful.

Clean ground for ranging is one of the most Important points in the growing of healthy pullets which will become vigorous and profitable lay- ers, it is pointed out by the poultry department of the Ohio State university. “A large percentage of the mortal- ity in the growing flock, as well as in the matured laying flock, is caused either directly or indirectly by intes- tinal parasites,” P. B. Zumbro, poul- try specialist, says in a recent exten- sion service publication, ‘These par- asites, as well as many disease germs, are carried over from year to year in the soil.” Zumbro urges that chick ranges be on land on which no other chicks have been raised or old hens ranged, for at least two years. Alfalfa, he says, makes one of the best chick ranges. Clover is almost as good, and | blue grass comes next. | g “Many poultry men think an alfalfa field is too valuable for rearing chicks. This is a mistake. Poultry grown on good range will give a return equal to that from any live stock, or better. Good re- sults can be obtained by having two or more ranges, and a crop cian be grown in the meantime. This meth- od will provide clean range and will | enable the owner to have the brooder | saving | house near the farmhouse, time in going to and from the house. When this method is used, one acre of land should be provided for each 500 chicks.” Wonderful Feats With Turkeys Are Reported Really eys are government county. Years a results with turk- reported from the Ontario turkey farm in Norfolk go this province used wonderful to raise turkeys by the thousands but disease got in and flocks have been diminishing to such an extent that each year thousands of birds are brought in from the West. The dis- ease puzzled people and except where there was unlimited range the rais- ing of turkeys languished. Even in the places where there was plenty of range, such as in the rocky districts on the edge of forest lands, difficul- ties in the shape of foxes and wolves were encountered. It looked for a while as if there would be practical- ly no turkeys raised in Ontario. But Prof. W. R. Graham took hold of the thing and he soon found out that the disease came from the ground and the germs were so hardy that they could live over in the coldest weather. He adopted the plan of feeding eyery- troughs and moving these troughs each day and his results have been unusually successful. Losses have been light on the experimental turkey farm and some excellent birds raised. 530 8 0 0 030 0 3 3 % oe He He He HHH HHH HH HH HN R x > x % Poultry Notes x | FRR He He RR HK FRE KH RHR REX SRR EXK | It pays to worm the poultry. * * * It requires 21 days to hatch hen eggs. . * * that chicks do corners and smother. * * * Care must be taken not crowd in Shut the sheep in at night, allow- ing them to bed in the corral or shed. * * * Coccidiosis usually occurs in young two to six weeks of age. * * Ww chicks from about eight removed to When the poults are weeks old, they can be the rearing ground. * * * named as the cause of death of 50 per cent of the chickens in some flocks.

People lived normal lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings.
