SOME DAY.

There is big field for endeavor in the problem of how
to the waste of the world.
The western farmer wastes almost much land as he
cutivaes The price of his requires that he must
cultivate less with less waste
There is great waste human effort because ''the
round gets in the square hole and vice versa. A
better system of education must find where men belong.
In a thousand ways spoil almost much as we
make
What chance for the inventor brain!
Some day the mighty force of the tides, now useless,
will be arnessed and the power that is in them set to do
ing the work of men.
Some day the currents of air that wander idly over the
earths surface doing task that of the turning OF
few wind mills, will be tanned into submission and used
Some day the heat of the prodlgally distributed
will be made to warm the houses OF men.
Some day the resident forces of electricity that lie
latent will lift many burden from the shoulders of men
and and little children.
Some day all these great forces will be stored up ready
to be released at the touch of a button.
These powers of nature overflow in wealth. BY their
surplus energy they give hnt of their ability and their de-
sire to help tasks And will be content
until we get all that is coming to us from them.
And-best of aIl-tle solution OF how to use their
waste holds the key to better living.

The Daily Short Story

"Mignon. Darling! l love you!"
Certainly Mignon could be forgiv-

ward step. since she had only been
expecting conventionally friendly
greeting. Then she laughed

But there was something in the
tone that told Billy the foolishness

His next act was certainly logical
and circumstantially excusable. He
put his arms about that exquisite
evening gown and kissed Miss Mig

Billy. with an idiotic grin.

But she made no effort to get away
from the circle of his arms.
will you marry me, Mignon?"
questioned Billy, obedlently.
yes, Billy with becoming
meekness belied by flash of the
deeply blue eyes.
Twenty delicious minutes later,
Billy's glance in one of its minute
wanderings from Mignon's dimpling
face, encountered the grandfather's
clock. Its accusing face recorded
5 minutes to eight.
by Jove! We are going to the
theater-and I'd completely forgot
ten. Where's Margery? She'll think
us crazy"
Mignon's dtmples deepened mis-
chieviously.
''In the library with Tom Spauld-

Billy paused. comprehending
question in his eyes.
Yes, very umch so. 1t was on
the tip of my tongue when l came
in to tell you that Margery couldn't
go with us-but, somehow, l for

"Since when?"
"Since they went motoring this
morning. That's why she wanted
to cancel her part of the engage

Lets cancel ours, too. and stay
here" pleaded Billy.

of wonder that Billy Abbott was
puzzled.
However, the affair must be set

Accordingly. he stepped briskly
to the phone and called up their
number. rs that you, Margery

Which remark did not necessarily

It was 1880 to the very second

At last he heard a sound without
