two unpopular things?an increase j

condemned off-hand. They are in- j

Second, he would put a tax of *?1 j

from now^on., Before, any p^c- j
ducer or. "!ls*his^m? ? starts "honor- !

Jfevey wants to put "all of the !
money thus raised mta^feioiesta- j
timx, to create a new supply of j
timber to cut ancLuse. t
There is Tittle likelihood of these \
suggestions being adopted at pros- !

shall be driven to do- something of j

1NWBOLESOLE FINANCIER- j
? a
Two boys, eight and ten years ?
ol? respectively, set out on a re-j
-znarkable financial career the other'
day. The younger child had been j
sent I to tire store with 50 cents to i
buy ? dozen eggs. He met the ten
year^oldr" and between them they
decirfedT ~t? do man)' things with
the half-dollar. For 47 cents they1
bon^Kl'two one-way. tickets to a
neighboring city. With the re-!
maiaing *.:aree cents they pur- ?
. chas>d penny pencils which they !
sold^for ^ five cents apiece- Re
ne wltfg their stock, they continued :
their selling, and when picked up ;
by the local police had $1.31 and
two unsold pencils. They said
they - had hoped to have enough
money to purchase a pair of shoes j
and replace their mother's 50 cents J
before starting for home.
it ..is- a tale at which many
grown-rnps will be inclined to laugh.
Some even will think the boys
weret "awfully cute" to do such a
thing. In a way it was jus a fun
ny little? escapade. In a number of |
other ways it was rather serious, j
and its gravei elements can l>e'
blamed ebieny on'the adults with
whom those boys had come in
conta?.
Xo responsible person should
? *;*.. j
have?bought pencils from the boys
on tie street or anywhere else. Xo
responsible person approached as a
prospective customer should have
overlooked the boys* age or ignor
ed" tWfF&k that they were ob- i
viously engaged in an unlawful
business.
Oqce the boys were safely back I
I
I beneath the parental root, it is ro
! be hoped that they were told sim
ply and clearly what they had done
in appropriating the-egg money, in
1 running away from home, in sell
. ing pencils at 400 per cent profit
I and in trading on the pity or
j amusement of their customers.

GOOD SEED.
An expert writing in the "Coun
' try Gentleman" emphasizes the
! value of good seed. He offers
five suggestions for making sure
of the quality:
! "Using real care in selecting and
buying seed.
"Keeping clear of seed 'bar
gains.' 'mixtures' and windy brag
ging.
"Checking up on the reputation
ot the firm you expect to buy
from.
"Buying no seed at all unless it is
iabeled in full so as to cover the
following points: percentage of
pure seed, percentage of foreign,
material, noxious wseds. percen
tage of germination and date of
test and origin.
"In case of doubt, or to make
doubly sure, have the seed analyz
ed, by the state seed laboratory or,
if there isn't one. by the depart
ment of agriculture at Washing
ton." ? .. * I
The planting, cultivation and
harvesting of the farmer's or gar
dener's crops involve a tremendous
amount of labor. The folly, of nulli
fying ail that effort by expending
it on poor or doubtful: seed should
need no emphasis.

WRAXGERfc TShSSn.
The formal annexation of Wrah
gell Island to the British Empire
is a reminder of how little land
remains anywhere in tfee world un
appropriated. The big powers have
done a pretty complete job in the
last half-century, especially Great
Britain. It is surely approaching
the end of the chapter when that
country takes the trouble to raise
its flag on a dreary oblong of froz
en land in the Arctic Ocean, near
the ultimate north.
Wrangell Island is not a new dis
covery. It has long been on the
maps. An Ajruerlcan. placated the
Stars and Stripes there in 1SS1, but
the government never paid any at
tention to the matter. It has usu
ally' "been considered a part of Si
beria, but the: Kassians have ignor
ed it. The only reason that Ste
f&nsson was able, on. his last ex
ploring trip, to set up a British
claim, was that nobody else has
ever wanted the place enough to
claim it.
? What the "British want with the
island is hard to understand. Brit
ain is already surfeited . with ter^
rirory, in ev^ery climate. Possibly
;there is coal or iron- or oil there,
and some hundreds of years hence
it may be made available; or the,
earth .may.swing about in a few
thousand years, as geologists say it
has done more than once before,
and bring a remperate or tropical
climate .to the Arctic. Englishmen
left may then want to move
north.
The reason given is that Wran
gell ^'dominates the Bering strait,'
whatever that may mean. It if*
more than 200 miles to the north
west, with*-the interval of solid
most of the year, and is inhabited
only by polar bears,
Perhaps, that really explains the
matter. There is no native popu
lation to revolt. WrangeIPs loyalty
can never be questioned. Those
poiar bears can be depended' on.
That must be a great comfort, in
the pr^snet ?ate of the British Em
pire. '
THE BEST EXPLOSIVE.
Dr. Steinmetz, speaking of the
difference between lightning energ>
and an ordinary electric current,
has explained that if is much like
the difference between a pound of
dynamite and a pint of gasoline.
One is used up instantaneously, in
a single powerful discharge, where
as the other operates continuously
for a measurable period of time.
It is an illuminating distinction,
showing the incomparable super
iority of our artificial, controllable
electric currents over the lightn
ing that appeals so to the imagi
nation. But there are many who
do not follow ouvt the illustration
itself to a realization of the vast j
superiority of gasolir* over dyna- |
mite as an energy-producer. A
Denver newspaper, for example,
remarks:
"How long will it take men like
Steinmetz and Edison and Burton
and their kind to bring into sub
Section dynamite, or the force be
hind it? Burton is coming close to
it in his discoveries tri oil refining
and gasoline extraction. He is
neanng the secret in the atom, j
Dynamite or the equivalent of !
dynamite; a repressed explosive, as j
it were, will be sending the air- j
plane of the future along at a rate
we hardly dare dream of just now.
The problem may resolve itself
j into perfecting a metal to with
i stand ihe strain."
Dynamite has its nse for certain
;' explosive purposes, such as blast
. ing stone; but scientists say there
; is ten times as much explosive
i energy in gasoline. A pint of gaso
jline, evaporated in a closed house,
j then ignited, will wreck the house
{more effectually than, several
! pounds of dynamite. In addition.
I it. has the great merit, referred ti
J above, of being subject to control,
j discharging its energy in small,
i stead}' volume through a series of
practically continuous explosions,
instead of letting go all at once.
! Why, then, bother experimenting
I with dynamite or anything else?.!
j There may be some of the new ex
plosives more powerful than gas
oline, weight for weight, but they
jare expensive, unstable and hard j
j to control. In gasoline, as used :
I in the gas engine, we actually have i
Ithe best explosive known to science,
i and should appreciate that fact.
A JflLITARY VACATION.
? i??
The War Department figures on :
training 30.000 young men at the i
"summer Platxsburgs" this year, j
three times as many as were j
[handled last summer. Preparations:
jare now being made. There will]
j be a larger number of camps !
'scattered all over the country to]
? * '
j facilitate transportation. Any j
[eligible young man can count on:
[finding a suitable, camp in his own j
[ section.
There ought to be a rush for j
enlistment, and very likely there J
will be. There is no war scare to \
stimulate interest, and the mind of |
the nation is not turned on things j
j mliitary at all just now, but for j
j that very reason the summer camps |
should have an appeal- They!
will really mean an enjoyable and
profitable summer vacation, at j
j Uncle Sam's . expense. And those ,
benefltting by it may find cause to j
wonder why . many of the hoys j
who had a few months of the same j
j thing during the war, and who i
j:got more good out of it than any- j
j tiling else they ever did in their j
j lives, are now. asking a bonus fori

' Otto H. Kahn, head of the bank-1
jfegr house of Kuhn, Loe1 & Co., j
j would like to "cancel the allied j
ldebts to America, to the extent that.'
i*they.are war debts, not as a freei
[gift, but in consideration of and ;
return for adequate pledges and.'
i action by the nations concerned, j
?leading to remedy of the. condi- \

He thinks collection of the big j
debt is impossible, and that if it j
were possible, it would injure thia:
?country by disturbing economic j
j conditions. So he would make the j
} best of a bad thing by a sort ofj
trade, giving Europe a. receipt in|
full on condition that Europe j
should balance its budgets, stop !
j printing depreciated currency, tear
[down economic "spite fences" that;1

(PLOW FACTORY PHILOSOPHY, i
I -? ? i
I The Country Gentleman tells how:
fa certain plow factory in the J
j south found "the short cut to j
I prosperity." The story will bear:
? outlining. !
I Realizing that something must;
j be done to bridge the chasm be- j
j tween the cost of farm machinery j
and the price of farm products, j
this concern cut its prices back to \
the lf>14 level. Its business for
the next month was the largest
for the same month in any year!
of its existence.
Since raw materials and wages |
were still higher than the price j
level adopted, it became necessary j
to operate the factory with the j
highest possiole efficiency, eliminat- j
ing all waste. This was done. The
output of the men who are work- '
ing has been almost trebled over
the days when loose methods were j
pursued. The plows are selling
like hot cakes, and the manufac
turers are making a small but fair!
profit. j
This is the road which the man!
who hopes to make money in L?22
must follow. The sooner every
body wakes up to this fact, the
better. There are hopeful indica- j
tions on etery hand that the alarm j
o'clock of .truth is rousing the'
drea me rs.
