THE FARMER HAS NCT STRUCK. !
Do you remember the talk of a
"larmier's strike" last fall? The
farmers ;were going to st?>p"producing j
food becaa&e they were..." not paid I
enough for it to cover the cost and ?
give them a decent profit. They said j
so themselves,-and the public feared'
a serious shortage this year.

?100.000 HOUSES BURNED. j
- . - !
MUch has already'been written and ]
spoken about the waste of forest '
fir<-'s and the need for tlielr preven
tion. Until foxes; tires have been
greatly redwred in number-and ex-i
tent there.vcannot he tvo much public
ity? concerning them "nor too much j
agitation for adequate forest protec
tion. Some statistics published dur
ing*, the recently observed Foresl Pro
Week present the matter I
,i he ref>->! e deserving :
ally destroyed in J
this country by forest fires, so the L'.
S. Forest Service statistician informs
us. is sufficient to build five-room
frame houses every loo feet on each
side of a road extending from New
York to Chicago. This w< uld mean
about 100.000 houses. Putting in each
house an average family of four per
sons, these buildings would house the
j inhabitants of a city tin- size of Cin
cinnati, New Orleans. Minneapolis.
Kansas City. Mo., or Seattle.
The e>:tent of forest tires which
I
have occurred in the United States in
the past live vears is cqualiv a ma'.
|mg when reckoned in area. Burned
over regions tidal 56,4-SS.OOO acres?I
an area greater than that included'
within Ohio and Pennsylvania. Eighty
per cent of these fires wer:- caused i
by human agencies and consequently j
were preventable.
Americans like to think of them- j
selves as good losers, taking reverses
gamely, it is a sign oi" intelligence I
not to bewail past losses, but it is a i
sign of folly to permit identical losses !
to occur year after year when they i
arc preventable. What might have
been done with the forests already !
destroyed by needless conflagrations I
is of less importance than what we |
are doing today and wirl do in the j
future !? prevent further less.
soul of Tin: world.
The ancients had a good deal to
say about the "anima mundi," rough- j
ly translated into "'soul of the world."*
though they never understood by !
i
"anima" what our ordinary theology j
means by its word "soul." A rever
sion to individualism lias made us
think of each person as entirely sei)- j
arate from all the rest, in body, soul j
and spirit. But psychologists are now I
coming around to the idea that ai- ;
though we are separate and mdivid- !
ual in many respects, still there is a j
substance common to all life, of |
which we all partake.
This common stuff would corrc- !
soond roughly to the atmosphere
which we ail breathe in common. '
Some of the thinkers regard the 1
ether of space"' as a sort of spiritual j
atmosphere, without which the ether- j
eal parts of the human being could !
not function. Others believe thai j
somehow we all have a kind of soul :
i
stuff in common. They explain tele- '
i
pathy and many phantasms, both or" j
the living and the dead, by this hypo
thesis!
in tii" last Pictorial Review II. Ad-J
dington Bruce suggests that some
phantasms" and visions ? can be
explained in no other way. lie '
quotes William James:
"I doubt whether we shall ever ?
understand some of these abnormal j
or supernormal tacts without using!
the very letter of Fe? hne:**s concep- ?
tion of a great reservoir in which \
the memories of earth's inhabitants;
are pooled and preserved; and from
which, when the threshold lowers or
the valve opens, information ordi- j
narily shut out leaks into tic- minds;
of exceptional individuals among us."
Also:
"i find the notion of some sort of '
'anima mundi' thinking in all of us j
to be a more promising hypothesis, in j
spite of all its difficulties, than thai;
of a lot of absolutely individual;
selves."
The occulists- ?meaning not me
diums or fritters but sober students
of the mysteries of life??calmly ac
cept this hypothesis as a truth. They
call the reservoir "Akasa." \)y it j
they explain simply and naturally j
many of the puzzles which of kite
have been bothering many minds. I
Scoffing gets nowhere in the solu
tion of these mysteries. Neither docs
blind credulity. Clear-headed re-i
search, which ado's the ancient lore,
to its materials of study, and takes;
out of it what it can use for what b j
is worth, may in time give every one!
as easy access to the powers lying in
the ".\kasa" a:? we now have to those
of electricity.

According to statements made by.
j
Charles Edward Russell in a series of :
articles on the Orient. Japan as a col-1
on using power has been greatly over-i
rated. Tie- common i<i?-a of the dap- '
anese. in the Cnited States at Pas:, is j
that under the abb- direction of their]
government they are overflowing I
thejr own little islands and crowd
ing eagerly into every other quart**!
of 'hi- world where they can gain
admittance. Here are s.?me figures
given by Mr. Russell that Jar with I
this notion:
In the large* rich island of Formo
sa, which has !????;< Japan :*?'? territory "
for 26 years, and where there is <-v- ?
cry opportunity for profitable sett le
nient and exploitation, t?" efforts oi
tie* government have sn< ceed**d :n !
planting a Ja pa ne.se population of
less than :>O0.ueu.
In Korea? territory taken from ;
Russia after the l:usso-Japanese war
the Oriental Development Company, a
Government institution. h.is been
ying for many years tu induce Jap
anese emigrants to take up fertile j
?arms, in au attractive climate, with!
financial help and other* advantages
offered them^ and h.v- ?ivly been able
to get 3.0-0 families a car.
In all China, there are only 27.
877 Japanese;
The Japanese are certainly a prob
lem in California, but in all North
America, including Canada Mex
ico", there are only 135.fi 18 ol them.
Mexico, which Japan ha.s been sup
posedly colonizing, is said to have
only 1.209.
In nli South America there are
only about 31.000 Japaneso.
The truth seems to !>?? that the
Japanese people lack th* colon-'Zing
instinct which has animated certain
Other races, especially 11 >.? * british, to
so great a degree. The Japs want to
stay in Japan, and the utmost .efforts
of their government will not get
them out.
The government, Mr. Russell sug
gests, is not trying to get them out
except in certain cases whine colonies
could further its main purpose, which j
is to provide an adequate supply of!
raw materials for the mother coun- j
try. For Japan, he explains, is turn- j
ing from an agricultural into an in-'
dustrial nation, and m ed:-; materials'
accordingly.

IX Dl'Sii MAT; EFFICIENCY.
A committee <.f the American En-1
gineering Council, appointed by Hcr
bert rioover when he was head ol
that body, has b- en studying the elim- I
ination of waste in industrial process
es, and has made some surprising
discoveries. Less than J.~> per cent of
the waste, says the committee, is due!
to ineffective labor, and ine.Ti.-i nt
management is responsible for more I
than ..(.? per cent of it. This will jar
a good many employers who have
been industriouslj explaining for the
last two or three years what the.,
could do if they could on'., gei labor
t o do its share. '
More astonishing are the rigures
given for the average rate of waste j
and inefficiency in particular indus
i
tries, regardless of causes. The build- j
ing and clothing industries, says the
committee, are only ??>?? per cent ei- j
frcient. the sine- industry '?'? per cent i
efficient and the metal trades To to!
75 per cent efficient. That is t" say.
:i these important industries there b: j
anywhere from L*r> to 10 per cent ol I
failure to accomplish what the; j
eg hi to accomplish in the way o j
output. j
If this is true, what becomes of our I
taunted industrial superiority? Amor
Scan business men and American me
thauics have been supposed to lead !
the world. It would be interesting to
have this committee study and re
port on some of the other industrial
nations, particularly Germany and
England.

In spite of all its frivolities an*.
its wars, the world keeps l ight or.
getting better, and in sj ite of pessi
mistic complaints Miat there i.* less i
interest its religious matters today
than e-.-er before, still, close to 15.
000.000 of tie- 105.000.000 people in
the I nited States are church mem
bers of one denomination or another.
.Moreover, in the last 25 years the
population bar. increased only two
thirds, the increase in cnurcti mem
bership has almost douMed.
it is more than likely that the next
few years will see an even greater in
crease in the number of those win
align themselves openly with religious
organizations. Mankind has seer,
many tilings fall in these few black
years, and the belief is growing i:
men's hearts, whether they are con
scious of it or not, that the foundation
principles of the great religions "ar<
the only cure for the evils now afJiict
ing the earth. Little by little met
will turn to affiliation with the bodie:
which represent concrete expressioj
of those principles.
It is true that th -re are unworthy
people within the church, and fine
good people by the thousand outside
of it. lb.it the fact remains that tin
church, in a its denominations and
creeds, stands for the tilings which
are for the best good of all mankind
When church membership increase}
in a higher ratio than the population,
the outlook is good, indeed.

?BUSKS OF DEMOCRACY
in his annual baccalaureate ser
mon, President P'aunce of Brown
University made some wise and
timely comments on the value and.
uses of human freedom.
"At this crisis in human history,"
he said. **we must not lure. back
from democracy because of its abuses.
We see how easily trie mob becomes
excited, and wo begin to ask if coun
ting heads instead of weighing them
is the final test of truth. Every pos
sible argument may be brought
against democracy except one?that
something eise has been proved to
work better.
"The price of democracy is constant
?;r? ?bte; the give and take of open dis
cussion, the ebb and flow of public
opinion, the danger of reversals and
e^perimen s. We accept these things
as better than all the fancied securi
ties of Louis XIV or Kaiser Wilhelm."
Many nations, he pointed out. are
'undergoing the process of disillusion.
They have expected impossibilities
from the magic formula "self-deter
mination." With disillusion comes
Intolerance. In America as else
where, there is a tendecy toward more
stringent regulation of the individual.
Zealots seem to think *jat our lib
erties can be safeguarded by filling
the statute books with laws and
?enaltics. That is the destruction of
liberty.
The lug war. broadly considered,
was really fought for human free
dom, as Americans believed at the
time, and as all who have not lost th
light still believe. Though its results
were not so conclusive as had. been
hoped, and the subsequent adjust
ments of peace have 1.n far from
atisfaotory, ihe fact rem.'uns that th
ictory did bring a great harvest of ,
human freedom.
It brought freedom first to nafi?h~.
the i.:elf-deterr:xma.tIon of nations
means nothing tinlers it 'arri s With)
it the se If - d e t e r n i i n a t: on of iadivid
I
uals. A country is not really free
unless its men and women a.r*? 'ree. !
Tyranny within a nation may f?e as
bad as tyranny from without Th"
problem of the preisen* and the]
dvtte future is to safeguard the i
new (freedbm won by applying it lib- i
eraijy to all the iraliv;duals who maJLe j
up 'mi.urn society, in itead of permit
ting any class of cil:~cns to enforce i
their will on any oth?*r class.
Freedom means Joleran?''*. There
is always danger in it. but that dan-j
ger is best guarded against not by
severely restrictive laws but by such
jducation and examnle as will t -a -h i
i
people not to abuse their freedom, j

lack of dew has deterred many of

be done while the dew is on the cot

The Price c*f Arsenale
The Chronicle hears that in some
places farmers are being charged 30
cents per pound for calc-.um arsenate.
This is entirely too high. We have
quotations from n very large com
pany in Georgia out of Augusta at 15
cents per pound f. o. h. shipping point
in i1 ? ? pound quantities. This is from
the manufacturer. There are probab
ly other concerns that will sell it for
the same price: As we understand it.
