EXPANSION AND RICE CULTURE.
Report Of the Department of Interior.)

Since the acquisition Of the
Philippines and the demand for an
open-door policy in China, the
agricultural circles of the United
States have manifested much inter
est in the commercial possibilities
Of the cultivation Of rice.
The present statistics on this
subject are unsatisfactory, but in
teresting. The worlds consump-
tion Of rice is enormous. It con-
stitutes the principal food-stuff Of
China and Japan, and one Of the
principal cereal foods Of India,
Egypt, Siam and the Philippines,
and the combined population of
these countries is more than half
the population of the globe.
Here is a magnificent market,
and so far as the United States is
concerned, practically an unentered
field. We now produce about
seventy thousand tons annually
and twice that amount. Whether
we can profitably produce the whole
domestic supply necessary and
force an entrance into Eastern
markets depends upon the pos
sibility Of employing machine me-
thods and Western methods Of pro-
duction to . degree sufficient to
Offset the lower cost of labor in the
Orient. Toward the end Of the
last century this was done for cot
ton cloth; the frst quarter Of the
next century may see it done for
rice.
In the United States labor costs
more than in the East, but it is
also more productive. The De-
partment Of Agriculture estimates
that the American laborer in South
western Louisiana or Texas can
farm about sixteen times as much
rice land as the laborer Of Spain
or 1taly, twenty times as much as
the Egyptian laborer, twenty-five
times as much as the East Indian,
and thirty times Is much as the
Chinese. Farm labor thus costs
less for given yield in America
than in any other rice-growing
country.

EDUCATIONAL.
The Director.

All civic progress depends upor
the virtue and intelligence of the
citizen; these depend upon the
school, and the school depends upon
the trustee. The moral RESPONSE
bility is not less important than the
civic. We are all consumers of the
common stock Of accumulated moral
worth. He who contributes more
than he consumes is benefactor,
while he who draws in excess Of his
contribution is beggar Every
child in every school will either be
a beggar or a benefactor. His
moral worth will depend upon his
education; his education. upon his
school, and his school, upon the
director Life is warfare; every
child a soldier. The battle is unto
death. Shall the child be one Of
the victOrs or one of the vanquish-
edi Shall he go forth morally and
intellectually as strong, sturdy,
stalwart giant, or as an aimless,
helpless, pigmy. The trustee who
provides the school and selects the
teacher, and thus in large measure
determines the extent and nature
of the child's education, must an
swer the question.
He must have high ideals in
education. These ideals will hold
up to his admiring vision the neces-
sary characteristics of good teach
er, a good school, and good educa-
tional facilities. High ideals mean
progression, low ideals retrogres-
sion. The former means vigorous
effort, healthful growth, boundless
achievements; the latter feeble
effort, stunted growth, arrested
development, retrogression, decay,

The Teacher Should Grow Continually.
The mission Of the teacher is to
put moral force into boy while
teaching him reading, geography,
arithmetic, or any Of the other
branches. Can you do thisi 1t can
be done; it is repeatedly done.
Four points are essential:
l. The teacher must really want
to see things done right.
2. He must have mental and moral
power of leadership.
3. He must know how to manage
numbers Of persons, to teach a class,
as we say. This is different from
managing one person.
4. He must continue to increase
his mental power by reading and
studying and thinking.
The last is especially important.
One school officer remarked Of a
teacher: "She did we'll the first
year, she was Just from the normal
school; the second year she seemed
to have 'teached out all she knew /;
she lost her grip; could not rouse
any interest or enthusiasm. We
advised her to go back to school
and lay in new stock. ."-Teachers'

Teach the Lesson of Industry,

Teach the Lesson of Industry.
There are some misguided parents
in this world. They send their
children to school with the one aim
in view to educate them, never
dreaming that education or book
learning alone does not accomplish
much. The writer once heard a
mother tell her boy that she wanted
him to have an education so he
could make his living easier. A boy
saqgcats5a sgg4 t5as yjtb, that JQeBrB9sai in qedSieeN dSieN
ton. The boy when he enters
school, especially the higher institu-
tions Of learning, must be given to
understand that education does not
fit a man for idleness but industry.
That he may more fully understand
his duty and be able to do it in a
more satisfactory manner both to
himself and society in general.
Then, too, he should be given to
understand that all labor is honor
able. Teachers often overlook this
point while they instruct the boy.
A boy that is not industrious from
childhood up will never amount to
much, education or no education.

Necessary to Life.
VinOl Makes it.
POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP-
TONS AND WEAKNESS.
VinOI Makes Pure, Rich,
Red Blood.
BECAUSE WE KNOWN THIS
WE GUARANTEE ITS ACTION.

Impoverished blood is a sure sign of
internal disorders. We see every day
too many people whose faces plainly
show that there is something radically
wrong.
We want all OF our fellow-citizens to
know of our splendid blood purifier
and blood maker.
We refer to Vinol.
Vinol, as we have before stated, Is a
purely scientific preparation.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
1t contains in a highly concentrated
state the active curative principles,
taken from the livers of live cods-the
same elements that formerly were
found in cod-liver oil, and which made
1t famous.
Vinol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized cod-liver oil and
made it in many cases worthless.
Vinol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs, and by invigorat-
ing and giving them strength, enables
them to properly perform their func-
tons.
Vinol's effect on the stomach Is mar
velous. 1t tones up this, the greatest
of the organs of the body, and enables
it to obtain from the food which is
taken into it the necessary elements to
create flesh and muscle tissue, bone
structure and pure, rich, red blood.
We are in receipt of letter from a
Savation Army woman which reads as
follows:
~ took Vinol after bad attack of
grippe, and so much good did it do me
that persuaded my sister to take it.
She was all tired out. Had no appe-
tite aud her blood was very poor. It
did her as much good as it did me-

Won't you please come in and
see us ? We are always glad to
extoI the merits of VinoI.
We will give you back your
money If you don't find VinoI
will do all we claim IL will. Could
any one do more for your
