ASK FOR THEIR FEE.
Japanese Physicians Leave compensa-
ton to Their Patients.

A Japanese doctor never thinks Of
asking a poor patient for a fee, There
is a proverb among the medical fra.
ternity of Japan: when the twin
lpemies. poverty and disease, invade
a home, then he who takes aught from
that home, even though it be given
him, is a robber."
Often" says DR.. Matsumoto, "a
loctor will not only give his time and
his medicine freely to the sufferer,
but he will also give him money to
tide him over his dire necessities.
every physician has his own dispen-
saryS and there are very few chemists
shops in the empire. When a rich man
calls in a physician he does not ex-
)ect to be presented with a bill for
his medical services. In fact, no such
hing as a doctors bill is known in
lapan. although nearly all the other
modern appliances are in vogue there.
rhe doctor never asks for his fee. The
strict honesty of the people makes
this unnecessary. When he has fin.
ished with a patient. a present Is
made to him Of whatever sum the pa
dent or his friends may deem to be
lust compensation. The doctor is sup
posed to smile. take the fee, bow,
and thank his patron

to the ambitions young farmers
Of every County in Missouri by
the State College of Agriculture.
This is the chance presented by
the eight weeks course, begin
ming in January, to learn, with
the help of the best educated
specialists in the state, the
fundamental principles of stock
raising, dairying, fruit-growing,
soil and seed selection, md
veterinary surgey, principles
which one can otherwise acquire
only after long ana costly ex-
perience. Hon. Il. j. Waters,
Dean Of the College OF Agri-
cultural Experiment Station,
said recently that tue young
farmer, young or old, VINO should
take advantage of this instruction
would as a result save more
every month than the entire cost
of taking the course. This cost
need not exceed $4,000.
Give the farmer boy a chance.
The people through their repre-
sentatives in the Legislature
have built up a great Agri
cultural College with magnificent
buildings, fine equipment and
first class teachers. This
College is doing great things to-
wards promoting the cause Of
Agriculture in Missouri. The
greatest single thing it is doing
is in making it possible for young
farmer boys everywhere to rel
cieve the best possible instruc-
ton in the operations of the
farm. Let the boys take
advantage Of this gift and profit
by it. They will be better
farmers by far and they will be
better satisfied with staying on
the farm. They will learn
practical lessons which they can
Immediately turn to account and
above all they viii learn that
their profession, that of Agri-
culture, is the greatest Of all
and deserving of as careful pre-
as any other.

AGRICULTURE AND ANTIQUITY
Problems Of the farm turiOusIy Ignored
by the Ancients with the Result that
Famine Was an E~ver-Prssen
Possibility.

Why agriculture, the first in
dustry to be learned, and so
obviously the most fundamental,
was the last to be developed, is
one of the most battling myster.
les of history. One marvels at
it afresh as one stands before a
certain glass case in the Egyptian
quarter Of the British Museum,
wherein is a little group of farm
utensils fractured wooden
plow, a rusted sickle, two sticks
tied together with a leather
throng, and several tassels that
had hung on the horns Of oxen.
To be sure, these implements
we're used three thousand years
ago--they were found in the
tomb of Set but one remem-
bers that when Egypt was using
these bread tools, no better than
those Of the barbarians about
her, she had a most elaborate
government, an army ana navy,
and art and literature.
The records ard relics Of other
nations, down through history,
show the same strange incon-
gruity. For thousands Of years
the wise men Of the world ab-
solutely ignored the problems of
the farm. A farmer remained
either a serf or a tenant. He
was a stolid d~rudge-brother
to the OK" Even the masterful
old Pilgrim Fathers had no plows
1T all-nothing but hoes and
sharp sticks, for the first twelve
years OF their pioneering.
And therefore for thousands
Of years there was Hunger.
Hunger, moreover, not only in
far-off ages and countries, not
only in the England Of 1909, but
in America, within the memory
Of men and women now living.
In 1887 there were wheat
bounties in Maine and bread.
riots in New York City. Flour
mills were closed for lack Of
wheat. Starving men were in the
streets of Boston and Philadel-
phia. Mobs of laborers, mad
dened by the fear of famine,
into warehouses and
carried away sacks Of food.
Even in the Middle West-the
prairie paradise of farmers

with the serf's weapon Of

Insane IndiyiduaIism.

A prominent New York clergy
man prophesies that "the next
great revival held in this country
viii have as it's dominant note
the question of ethics" One
fact in particular has impressed
itself on the public mind. There
Is an insane individualism in
in American life today. Men act
as If the accumulation of pro-
perty were the only end Of ex-
istence and as if any means were.
permissible in realizing that
end. In its fundamental aspect
the problem is simply one of old
fashioned seltishness--that is,
the putting Of the interests Of
self before the interests Of the
common veal.
One of the paradoxes Of
modern society is bound up in.
the fact that the collective con
science is so much duller than
the private conscience. We do
as nations what we would never
dream of doing as individuals.
"A man who could not be induced
to kill his neighbor, whatever
the pr~ovocation, marches out in
war time with a clear conscience
to kill somebody else's neighbor.
"A man who is a model Of the
virtues in his domestic life loses
every restraining scruple in his
BUSINESS dealings. Mr.. Rookie
feller. when questioned recently
as to how he reconciled his bust
ness transactions and his moral
principles, is reported to have
made the significant reply: ''The
Standard Oil Company is not a
philanthropy. 1t is a business
conducted along the lines that
are laid down in the business
world as being those of today.
In these words he exposed the
heart of the whole problem. And
just because the standards of the
business world are held to
justify disregard for law and
the rights of others it is the
imperative duty of the pulpit to
indict those standards and to use
all its influence to supplant them
with them with other and higher
standards.
1t may be that an investigation
of business conditions will lead
to a realization of the fact that
the dishonesty of our day is
inherited in our competitive
system. In that event it will be-
come the duty of the pulpit to
accept the new alternative and to
turn mems faces toward a CO.
operative society, which, being
itself ethical, win make it
possible and practical for each
individual to live out his highest
ethical ideals in conformity with
the whole social oader Kansas
