The EnviouS Man.

Herbert Kaufman in Chicago
Sunday Record-Herald:
He's simply a failure without
the courage to own up that he
weakened and quailed under the
test of contest. He wants things,
but won't wait and endure the
trials through which they are at
tanned.
Somewhere, some time, he had
his full share of chance and didn't
qualify. He's a rusty pot critics.
ing active kettles.
He grants no one credit for a
bigness beyond his own. He mar
rows all art, all application all
cleverneSs, down to his personal
and puny measurable will not aC-
knowledge that there can exist
an effort so honorable that it must
always find its just and fair re-
ward.
He won't urge his half-sized
brain into eXpansiOn-he won't
direct his mind to creatiOn-he
a Wrecker, not a builder - con-
stantly smarting under the sue
cess of others always seeking to
smirch and destroy and detract.
He's chemically made with jeal-
ousy-green blooded-his veins
are poisoned with the venom of
bitterness.
No possession can bring him
pleasure-whatever he gains is toe
little, because less than all of every
thing means that some one elst
has something.
Underlying all his miserable
jaundiced disposition is a pitiablc
greed-Were he Lord of the earth
he would writhe in misery becaus,
the stars were not thrown in for
premium.
He is not capable of friendship Co.
friendship is a wholesome thing -
it encourages-it gives it sympa
thizes-it enthuses - it shares.
He neither pays respect to sta
bility nor homage to genius b
ridicules earnestness - discount
merit--jeers at knowledge an
smears his nasty sneers on bril-
liant achievement.

EARL WILSON IS DEAD.

Annapolis, April 17.-Midship-
man Earl D. Wilson, who was IN
iured during a football game with
Villa Nova October 10 last, the
verterbrae of his neck being both
fractured and dislocated, died
Yesterday morning at $50 at the
Naval Hospital here. Death was
due to exhaustion, his vital pow
ers having been gradually ex-
hausted by the paralysis which
was complete below the point OF
fracture and dislocafion.
Wilson made a brave fight 1or
life and expected to get well up
to a short time ago. Within a
week. however, he informed his
brother that he knew he must
die, and would be glad wher
death came.
AT his bedside when he dice
were his father, West B. Wilson
of Covington, KY, his sister
Mrs. Calvin and two brothers
besides the members of the medi
Ical staff and attendants. For a
hours Wilson'S vitality had beer
co low that his death was ex
l,ected every minute. However
his wonderful vitality carrie
him far beyond the when hi
death was expected.

OLD.FASHIONED METHODlSM'

/ have watched my papers closely "
keep up with the news;
' have read of dffernt churches, their
pulpits and their pews;
I read OF decorations tine, and OF the
towering spire,
And how artistic are the songs as rem
dered BY the choir;
A modern, new religion, too, most
popular seems to be;
But good old-fashioned Methodism Is
good enough for me.
l read OF heavy Brussel aisles and
aforementioned seats;
And how the white gloved sexton
smiles, and comingpeople meets;
OF Eucharists in silver, too-of GOLD
baptismal founts-
And several tony" practices, the Sa-
viour never counts;
| find old customs laughed at much
they're "out OF STYLE" l see;
But good old.fashioned Methodism is
good enough for me.
The congregation singing, too-that
now has got to go,
AS obsolete, old-timey, and as all too
plain and SLOW
The idea now an organ is, and ballet
girls select
And fellow in a scissor-tail to stand
up and direct;
But give me the dear old hymns when
singing all was free,
And good old-fs shioned Methodism-
they're good enough for me.
| find camp-meetings scoffed at now
and ridiculed-as stray
The thing now aimed at mostly is a
preacher who can draw
Not penitents, but stylish folks, who
laugh and who applaud
Not men with money, heart and hand,
for heathen lands abroad;
The preacher now to be in vogue most
eloquent must be;
But good old-fashioned Methodlsm IS
good enough for me.
The sermon, too, must lot be long
say half an hour at most;
And when you join this modern church
you've got to count the cost;
The poorer folks are only reached by
mission men and tracts:
And what we need to save our souls
the new religion lacks;
II says to pride and righteous self,
they need not bend the knee;
But good old-fashioned Methodism is
good enough for me.
The dear old ways they now deride as
stale and out of date;
The new religions mission seems to be
10 innovate;
Old customs now have got TO COINS
seems to be the word;
The gospel call, Repent or Die. is sell
dom ever heard;
Sensation much the people ask-the
conscience must be free
But good old.fashioned Methodism IS
good enough for me.
They say don't talk to peoples souls
don't touch the sinners heart;
To preach to Taste and Reason IS the
new religions art;
The times, It's said, demand a change
old ways are dry and dead
And so so the new religion now Just
caters to the head!
I may be old-a fogy-a crank-be-
hind the age, you see,
But good old fashioned Methodism Is
good enough for me.

BOYS INTENSIVE FARMING.

More than $4,000 Southern
BOYS less than Is years old plant
ed and cultivated an acre OF corn
each last year under the direction
| of the Department of Agriculture
Persons interested in the expert
ment in Arkansas. Mississippi,
South Carolina and Virginia, of,
fered to pay the expenses OF a
trip to Washington for the boy
in each State who raised the
greatest amount of corn on his
acre. The winning boys will
soon visit the national capital.
The average yield of corn }
the acre in 1909 was a little mo- (
than twenty-five bushels. The
South Carolina boy, who made
the best record, produced 1921
bushels. The winning Missis-
sippi boy raised 147 bushels, the
Arkansas boy 135 and the boy in
Virginia 122. The average rals-
ed by each of the y, 900 was Six
ty bushels.
The instructions given to those
boys by the Department of Agri-
culture are available to every
farmer in the country. If they
should be followed exactly the
Weld of corn to the acre could
easily be doubled in a single
year.
Intensive cultivation is worth
while on all crops. The average
yield of potatoes to the acre IN
1909 was 107 bushels, but the
Maine farmers averaged 225 BUSH
els, and some of the most pro-
greSsiye of them dug 400 bushels
to the acre. The yield of corn
and potatoes depends more upon
cultivation and fertilization than
upon the soil, and there is prac-
tically no part of the United
States in which these crops cam
not be raised successfully.
1t is beyond doubt that larger
crops can be produced from ten
acres thoroughly titled than from
two or even three times ten acres
cultivated as they usually are.
The fact that the South Carolina
prize winner raised more corn on
one acre than the average farmer
produces from six, tells a story
that should not be lost upon
those for whose benefit the eX-
pertinent was made. - outh
