THE DEADLY I'AIlELLEL Mother Naturi! displayed profound wisdom in balancing tho disposition of (lie young mau entering upon tho first lap ot life's journey and in milk ing lilia au optimist of the moat ud- j in i rubie tyi#c. The ?ky of Iii? hopes ls fro? from a suggestion of clouds, the future looms up ns bright und al luring ns u mirage, and he aces only an unbroken lane of happiness and euutetitiiictit stretching before bini. Skip tiver ibu years between twen ty and lilly mid let a mun take stock of lils Ideals to lind om whether or not they have lost uny of tholr lustre. The chances are that they will bo like v. piece of gold that hus lain for u long time lu the dust and dirt, all its brightness dimmed and gone. Happy is tho mun who linds thom us bright and frosh and vigorous us on tile duy when he wont forth full-armed to fight tho buttles of tho world. No life can order the things it de si rcs. lt ls not in UK to command sur eness, as the poet su!d, but lt Is with in our power to deserve lt, and wo cannot deserve lt unless our ideals aro -kept glowing on the altar fires of clean living and high thinking. No man is muster of his fate despite what the young college grad?ale may say to tho contrary on the day when ho passes through a portal of fl .?wera into a world whose trials and temp tations hu cannot appreciate before he is made to feel them. Youtli is hope ful because lt ls optimistic by nature; were lt not so, failure and disappoint ment would be Its portion from the vory beginning. iSo youth ?B given a Haming Bword to fight Its way to fame and fortune, and the ambitious lad who goes forth relying upon tho sharpness and resisting power of thu sword to hew lils way to an ultimate goal cannot bo mado to believe that Its keen edge cnn be so frightfully gashed and broken. It ls a hard struggle to walk con tinuously on tho high plano we set for ourselves when wo begin the Jour ney, and, If we stop for a while and seriously contrast our Uvea then- and now, bow would tho parallel Bhow up? Would lt Bhow a similarity In stand ards of conduct, or would thc paral lel bo deadly In tho shameful gulf that lloo between tho past and thc pres ent? ?.-.'? Speaking of tho average man-and tho averago In everything establishes tho rule-han bo kept his ideals as high as they were whon he bogan life with all Its burdens und responsibili ties mixed with its pleasure and tte enjoyments.' Possibly the burdens and cares have submerged tho pleas ures, and his Ideals havo been put to tho acid test. If so, has his temper been preserved in its original calm and control? Have li is domestic re lations been as sweot and as puro as t'ney wore In the days when he and his wife were happy over the babies? Has bis sense ot Justice toward hiu neighbor suffered a change? Has any ono of tho multitude ot life's activi ties boen impaired by a lotting down of the bara? On this day of days, whon you are commanded to take a rest and nour ish your spiritual nature, stop and mn'<e a close examination of your lifo. If your ideals havo bcon maintained lu their rm H ty. vim have dnno ex ceedingly well, and you deserve the roward you havo mado for yourself. J! you place the line of present con duct by the side of tho line of past Ideals and find them widely different tho thing for you to do ?? to ovor come tho deadly parallel and get tack to the Ideals with which you starts.!. And tb'j soonor you lay your heart to tno task, the bettor it will bo for you. A FBEHIUM ON BEAUTY Tho most fertile field for experi menting with now fads and fancies , seems to be In tho Behool room. Now comes ono ct thoso play experts and lays down this new dlctim for the em ployment of teachers: "Every American boy and girl has , an inalienable right to-have a good t looking school teacher, and school ? boards should ho willing to pay fif teen dollars a month more for comely Instructora than for homely ones." > . Between comely and homely .there . is only the difference ,ot a letter, end : perhaps that should be the only point r of variation. The only advantage wc . see In this new cult is that achoo! trustees might bo made to take ,o i moro lively interest, in the work ol , the schools, and with comely teachers s gracing the school rooms the door. 7 would be very, very frequently dark f coed by carefully groomed trastees wh o, under present conditions, avoii -, schools Visits ae if tho school build ? bags were pest houses, - Beauty andi brains do not >?Vjrayi a . gar. togo tb cr. ' Charm of person inky b< r expressed more, attractively ny; wo a manly conduct than by facdai attrac tlon. The; ability to Inspire a love o ??:..- . i I knowledge In children, tho power to develop their minda und their lieartH ulong the right lines, that rare dyna mic force which IK natural with the born teacher and which entibien her to build mid strengthen character /lone of thone qualities depend? upon thc impertida! attraction of beauty, and the fluent and must successful teacher may be aa ugly aa-er-us she can be and ?till shine as a bea con light in the school room. Mind you, we're not -knocking these schoolmarm Cleopatras. They're mighty good fer sore eyes, we'll ud mlt, but we don't quite agree with the views of the play expert-not at leant until beauty becomes tho chief end of man and play the supreme end lu school room Instruction. THU BLUES Did you over have the blues? It Is a useless (jucnllon fe nnk unless your disposition In of such a sunny nature that no sort of clouds can stand the warmth of its glow. If you are not a grouch, it does not take long to dispel the feeling. A grouch, of connie, in a fellow who feels blue all the time and ls never happy unless he ls pouring acid Into other people's lives and thun lower ing the standard of human happiness. A normal man ls never In a state of blue funk more than a llttlo while, because something will speedily turn up to drive off tho ogre and bring out tho sunshlno nguiu. If you nro in doubt ns to whether a person Is a chronic grouch or Just a temporary victim of tho blues, fol low bini stealthily lo his home. If lils kids flatten their noses against tho window panes walting for him to come home, you can put lt In your pipe and smoke lt that ho can not fly off tho path of happy living for any considerable period of timo. If there aro no faces at tho window, watch him as he goes Into the house. If he 1B mit there with tho joyful patter of litth. feet, chalk up a high credit mark to him ;?rd let lt stand at that. But porha;iB tho llttlo tots aro timid und fight sliy of him for a while. At lonjrili they may sidle up against him gingerly In tl. manner of a pup un certain of its welcome; they look up into'his face with wistful cy nu; there ls a gent?o hint that the funny paper would bo a mighty good thing to read; maybe a tremulous suggestion that the nryet is a good place, for a flue old 'ti ie of "horsey," 1B thrown ont; or tiici s may be JUBt a silent pucker ing of little faces that want something and can't get lt. If a Bcene like this is unfolded be fore you, watch the man as you would a burglar. If ho capitulates and gots down on tho flo?r and rolls and tumbles with the kids and indulges In undignified stunts until mother puts an end to the circus in evlf-de tence, you will be right In concluding that ho simply had an oggravatcd cuse of tho bluos. If ho sits on coldly In his big chair and gets impudent and drives off tho kids with a series of savage growls, you can clesslfy him at once and rest assured-that you have made no mistake. He's a grouch suffering from an Incurable disease of tho heart When the blues como, change your mental diet at once and you will get immediate relief. But if you are noth ing more than a grouch, your case ts hopeless unless you slip out some dark night and hury your disposi tion in some secluded spot where no ono will dig lt up to curse thc world again. '" THE WAK AND THE FABMEB While the Southern "armor has lost heavily as a result of the war, the planters in other sections of the coun try have roaped immense profits. Tho grain-grower has been blessed with fino crops and record prlceB, and. he has fattened his bank account and added toi his landed possessions. Next to tho maker bf guns and sholls and tho manu fae turor of automobiles, tho man who raised nig crops , of wheat, corn or oats haB had his pockets lined with ?61d. In 1014 tho total wheat production wan about 900,000,000 bushels, and lo 1015 it will bo around 980.000,000 i bushels. The war has Increased thc 1 average price or wheat'thirty conti : a bushel,, and this rise, taken With thc i Increased production, nae given thc ? wheat grower a bonus ot fully a hall i billion dollars over what he would ' have gotten in normal times. Nc I wonder the western farmer is sj i porky as th? man who has a contract . made m terms ot millions ot dol?an t to furnish war supplies. His fort rx.? i is mads tor the present even lt som< . unforeseen calamity should come u> oh .htm tor a while. i ".The American farmer, has * ?japed t i rich harvest also In oats.-rc^ts fftti . going abroad to toc? henm^^w . this demand added to the cow HU mp I ttoa' ui nearly seven cents a bushel. From ! thia riso lu price tho f;raln grower I? profiting to tho tune of about a hun <lre<l million dollurrf over normal prices. The farmer's greatest gain, after wheat a:;d oats, hus been obtained from lilB corn crop. Eighty per cent of the .i.O?O.OOO.OO? bushels produced will he fed to livo stock, as compara lively little of it is eaten UK human food. War has advanced the price of corn seven and one-half cents a bush ol, and for thc two crops harvested during the progrcKU of the war the excess profits to the farmers will amount to abrtut eighty million doi lars. In addition to thc profits derived from grain, brcodors of live stock li?(Vo alBo profited immensely from the sale of horses and mules to th? belligerent powers. Thu war bas had no uppreciuhle effect on thc prices of potatoes, meats or hay. Pork has fal len In price, ono of the largest huy era, Germany, having dropped out of tho market altogether because of the blockade and the tMfllculty of making shipments. But nnalnst all this gain is to be aol the loss that fell with Buch crush ing effect on tho Southern cotton grower. Ile hus Buffered in two ways -from tho decrease in price of cotton and from tho increase in price of grain products that ho has had to pay as a reBult of tho war. The loss in cotton has been halted, it is true, and it is to bc hoped that conditions In the South will never again bc as de pressing, as they havo hoon for the pant yenr. Tho farmers of the South have greatly Increased, ?heir acreage of grain, and this diversification of crops helps como. Tho Southern farmer was struck a heavy blow by the war and tho condi tions brought about by it, and it is going to toko som - time to overcome tho effects of losing more thnn u quartbi* of a billion dollars on one crop. If there is anything particularly good coming to this country in the changed conditions following tho war, .tho biggest share ought to como to tho iSouth, which deserves it most richly.
