LIVING WITH PEOPLE.

Human life is school. and one of
it's most difficult lessons is the art Of
living with people.
1t is not easy to live with people.
At the best there is friction.
To live in this world with people
means wounds made in contact, injus-
| tees suffered, annoyances, misunder-
standings. heurtaches.
One must needs cultivate self forget
fulness, self control. good cheer. char
ity. One must learn to overlook an un-
kindness, forget discourtesy and en-
dure in his optimism.
Which is not easy.
/ As some one has said, I'VE need to
have our sharp corners rubbed off and
to learn sweet reasonableness and toll
erance for other peoples points of
view"
In practice many of us really forget
at times that there are other people in
the world
Note few little things:
Does the woman who wears the IN
considerably big hat seriously realize
how inconvenient she makes it for
others?
And the woman with the long sharp
hatpin, which endangers the eyes of
her neighbors?
Some people will carry closed um-
brella in such a way as to trip pedes-
TRANS or inpale them with the sharp
ferrule
Others will stop a friend in the mid
die of the sidewalk and compel the
stream of humanity to eddy around
them

den halt ~ look into the shop Will.

hind to topple over him.
Or there is the one who opens the
car window or shuts it down. consult
ing only his personal comfort and to-
tally disregarding the wishes of the
other passengers.
Little things:
Yes. and mostly the result OF
thoughtlessness. forgetting that
there are other people with whom one
must live.

person who is loud or fussy or grouehy
or dictatorial. deliberately refusing te

PERENNIAL COTTON.
Government Expert Brings Seed
from Hawaii

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 1S.-The cot
ton In Hawaii can never rival that
OF the South, according to Dr.. e. V.
Wilcox, director Of the governments
Honolulu experiment station, who Is
here on trip Of study Of Southern
cotton culture. Mr.. Wilcox says
that although the islards produce
line grade of sea island, bringing
from 80 to 35 cents per pound, there
are only 10000 acres suitable for
cotton culture. Only 1000 acos are
now under cultivation.
Dr.. Wilcox brought with him some
seed Of Caravonica cotton to see
whether 1t can be grown in this soil.
He says that this cotton Is perennial,
requiring only one planting,
and bearing each year from
the same stalk. In Hawaii, he says.
these cotton plants are pruned to pre-
vent them from attaining a height of
10 to 12 feet.

Thus in one hundred and twenty
years the population has been multi
piled almost by twenty-three and in
hfty years almost by three. We now
have an average OF about twenty-nine
inhabitants to the square mile, AL
though there are many States and
territories in which there is a
square mile OF room for every two or
three persons. Ten years ago Rhode
island had ao7 people to the square
nile and Massachusetts 34S. AS
showing that even these old and
comparatively small States are not
too crowded for comfort, IT may be
said that, based upon the estimated
population of Grcaper New York,
there are now about $1,000 people
to the square mile in this city.
In 1890 the Northwest Territory
had just been organized. Both Illi-
nois and Ohio, States created In that
region, now have many more inhabi-
tants than were then to be found in
the whole country. The population
Of these States added to that of the
other Michigan, Indiana and
Wisconsin-is now greater than that
or the United States at the census Of
lSi0. Yet there were men calling
themselves far-sighted who only q
hundred years ago predicted that the
Northwest Territory was destined for
all time to be the home only of wild
beasts and wilder men. Since 1860
the center of population has been
moving westward in what was once
the Northwest Territory.
Even more doleful prophecies were'
made as to the fate OF the Louisiana
Territory, out of which have been
formed States that now have a popu-
lation nearly three times as large as
that OF all the States in 1919. Mis-
souri, alone has more pcopc than
were enumerated at the first national
census in 1890. AS many people now
live west OF the Mississippi river as
were found in the entire country by
the ccnSuS-takcrS OF 1850, and Okla
homa. figuring now FOR the third time
only in a census, has moro inhaDi-
tamts than all New England possess
ed in 1920, while Texas has at least
three times as many.
TO come nearer home, New York
city, embracing but 1926 square miles,
now has almost as many inhabitants
as were returned by the national cen
sus Of 1900, and great as are many
OF the States OF the Union, only two
or them, Pennsylvania and Illinois,
nave more people than are to be
found In this one splendid municipal
ity.

THIS COMET BEATS HALLEy,s.
Astronomers Think Body just Discov-
cred will Prove Splendid Spectacle.
Washington Times }

If the comet discovered on We'd
nesday morning by Rev. Joel II. Met
calf, of Taunton, Mass, and named
for him "Metcalf's Comet" fulfills the
promise that 1t has given, the world
will be treated In the next two
months to more spectacular sight
than that attendant upon the visit
of Halley's comet.
Since the latest celestial wanderer
has been officially observed but
twice, once by it's discoverer and
again by Prof. Asaph Hall and two
assistants at the naval observatory
night before last, 1t Is impossible to
say exactly when it will come near
enough to the earth to be distin-
guished with the naked eye. But,
from present indications, when it
does come near, it will present an ap-
pearance second to none of the
comets seen within the last century.
Even at the great distance at
which it is at present the appearance
OF the comet is brilliant and sur
passes In grandeur the spectacle of
Elalley's comet seen at the same dist
ance. Sailing maiesticallv through
space it IS easily distinguishable with
a telescope from its smaller and less
bright neighbors. Particularly no
ticeable Is the effect presented by the
nucleus, which is intensely bright
and exceptionally clear.
The orbit Of the comet has yet to
be we'll defined, and according to
statement made by Prof. Hall. Of the
naval observatory, several more OBJ
servations will have to be made be-
fore it can be discovered exactly how
near 1t will come to the earth, and
when will be the best time to observe
1t. But one thing Is certain, if it
comes as near the earth as did Hal
ley's comet it will far surpass the
brightness and luminosity OF that
body.
AS observed at present, the new
comet is between the orbits OF Jupi-
WI "ii" hSNiSl thS lol ulcI. AS
is usual,'it Is moving toward the sun
set and will be seen in the western
sky in the evening until October,
when it will pass perihelion and be-
come visible in the morning. It's tail
Is not prominent at present, but it is
thought that this is due in large
measure to its position, which throws
the tail away from the earth and thus
hides ii from the view OF observers.
At present the comet Is not large
enough to be seen with the naked
eye, but with the aid Of good two
inch glass it is plainly distinguishes
Bile. After the moon begins to de-
cline the comet will become CORES
pondingly brighter. both because of
the diminution Of the light Of the
moon and the fact that the comet will
be coming nearer the earth.
1t Is thought that about the latter
part Of September the display will be
the brightest.
