| direction in which he distinctly led.
there is every reason to expect a
healthy progress in political develop
ments.
One of the country's greatest needs
at this time is large crops. and much
depends upon the next harvest A
poor yield will surely prolong depres-
sion. and bring much hardship among
the working classes, while a big yield
will prove an incalculable advantage
and do much towards insuring a re-
turn to real prosperity. The high cost
of living must be largely attributed to
the high prices prevailing for agricul-
tura1 products. Wheat. flour. oats.
hay, meats, vegetables. butter. eggs.
etc, are all unusually expensive be-
cause there is not q sufficient abund-
ance Of these articles to keep prices at
more normal level. Available sup
plies are SO limited. and cheap money.
SO abundant. that unhealthy specula-
ton is foistered. 1t is altogether too
easy to corner the markets. The only
cure for this situation Is larger crops
the world over and higher rates for
money. 1t is generally recognized
that the growth of agriculture. espec-
tally in the United States. has not kept
pace with the growth Of population.
partly because of the drift towards the
great cities. The result is that today
our farmers as class are the most
prosperous speople in the country; in
fact. they have had several years Of
prosperity, and the prospects are that
this will continue for some time to
come. No one begrudges our agricul-
tural classes their good fortune. for
they have been and must continue to
be. the backbone Of the country. But
this prosperity has not been shared by
others: it has been chiefly class pros
perity, whereas true prosperity is that
which is shared by all classes in
something approaching equitable pro-
portions. Just now the farmers are
thriving upon the necessities of a help
less public. which is passing through
a period of more or less adversely and
depression.

OUS rational SONGS.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

Boards OF education in several west
ern states are now requiring that ev.
cry pupil that enters high school must
be able to repeat the words of one Of
our national songs.
It Is required that pupils should
know by heart such songs as Amer
lea" or Hail Columbia" or 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner"
It is fact that rot one In ten Of th.
average American audiences is able To
sing all the stanzas Of America"
A newspaper tells of patriotic Sun
day school superintendent who waa
surprised to discover that the national
hymn was not in the book used by his
school
Whereupon the superintendent asked
memory. They get through the first
stanza ard then fnltered. And the
adults who were present were 'unabls
to lend them much assistance.
Do you suppose any company OF
Germans would fail to sing every line
Of Die Wacht am Rhine"
Or can you fancy any popular au-
dienee Of the French people that
would fail to remember the words OF
The Marsefliaise:"
Or q gathering OF Englishmen that
would sing one stanza Of God Save
the King" and forget the rest Of It?
There are abundant REASONS why We
should be the most patriotic people on
earth. And perhaps Ne are, but we
are n little short In our expression Of
patriotism.
There are two ways by which we
the people-may best express our sen.
timents-display Of the nag and songs.
OF course it is possible to be patri-
otto without knowing or singing the
words Of our national songs.
It also IS possible to be patriotic
without the use OF the flag
The dearest traditions Of the repub-
lie are wrapped in the folds Of the
flag. By some mystery Of the mind 4

ment. an object lesson for m idea.
The greater the sentiment or idea the

Animal He 10.

The rhinoceros Is an ugly beast,
and DIR. w. s. Rainsford charges him
In an article in the Outlook with be-
ing as stupid and as wicked as he
looks. Some years ago, he says, a
noted professor of biology interested
him greatly as he showed him the
skulls of certain Miocene rhinoceroses.
In those far-away days the beast
must have been well able to take care
OF himself, even in the dangerous COM
pany in which he found himself. The
convolutions of the brain of the
Miocene rhinocerOs are fine, much
superior to those of his present-day
descendant.
The saw-tooth tiger and the cave
bear were not dangerous enemies. In
deed, he somehow so managed things
that when they disappeared he sur
vived. Then gradually life must have
become too easy for him. He was big
and burly and well-armed; other ami.
mails kept out of his way. The newt
able consequences ensued. Competi.
ton fierce and keen had kept him up.
The struggle over, his brain no longer
put to its best use, he began, like
poor Dean Swift, ito die ATOP"
The African grass Is as good rs Of

as sharp. everything keeps out of his
way, and he lives on, surly, lima
