The Great Advance.

while freely admitting all Of our

the incredible advance that has been
made in ethical standards. do not be-
lieve that there is the slightest neces-
sary connection between any weakening
Of Virile force and this advance In the
moral standard. this growth of the
sense Of obligation to ones neighbor
and of reluctance to do that neighbor
wrong. We need have scant patience
with that silly cynicism which insists
that kindliness of character only ae-
companies weakness Of character.
ION the contrary, just as in private
life many of the men Of strongest char
actor are the very men Of loftiest and
most exalted morality, so I believe that
in national life as the ages go by we
shall find that the permanent national
types will more and more tend towards
those in which, while the intellect stands
high. character stands higher; in which
rugged strength and courage rugged
capacity to resist wrongful aggression
by others. will go hand in hand with
a lofty scorn OF doing wrong to 9TH

Man Must Help Himself
THE only effective way to help any
man is to help him to help himself:
and the worst lesson to teach him is
that he can be permanently helped at
the expense of some one else. True lib
erty shows itself to best advantage in
protecting the rights of others, and
especially of minorities. Privilege
should not be tolerated because it is
to the advantage Of a minority, nor yet
because it is TO the advantage of
majority. No doctrinaire theories of
vested rights or freedom of contract
can stand in the way of our cutting
out abuses from the body polite Just
as little can we afford to follow the
doctrinaires of an impossible-and in
cidentally Of highly undesirabIe-so-
cial revolution which. in DESTROYING in
dividual rights (including property
rights and the family, would destroy
the two chief agents in the advance of
mankind, and the two chief reasons why
either the advance or the preservation
of mankind IS worth while

blind to our duty to do all things pos
sihle for the betterment of social con-
ohions. But it is an unspeakably fool
ish thing to strive for this betterment
by means SO destructive that they would
leave no social conditions to better.
In dealing with all these social prob

family, with wealth in private use and
business use with labor, with poverty.
the one PRIME necessity is to remember
that, though hardness OF heart is a

softness of head.
Special Problems Ahead.
But in addition to these problems
the most intimate and important of all

all the modern nations somewhat alike.

Cement Posts.
The first part of the fence to be put
up is the posts. The time for putting
up cheap posts that will rot out and
need renewal in three or four years is
past. There are W. ways Of secur-
ing lasting po~sts-making them of ce-
ment and treating wooden posts with
creosote. Cement posts are not hard
to make. Tue first step is to make a
wooden mold of the proper size. About
elk inches square at the bottom. taper
ing to four at the top, is q very good
size. Three cornered strips should be
placed III the bottom of the molds to
make the corners Of the posts rounded.
A number Of molds can be built side
by side. 80 that several posts can be
made at once. The best mixture for
cement posts is one part portland ce-
ment. two and one-half parts clean.
sharp sand and five parts gravel. The
sand and cement should be mixed dry.
Then add water and mix to a thick
mortar. After this is we'll mixed
spread 1t out in a thin layer and spread
the required amount Of gravel over it.
Mix the whole mass well by %shoveling
over several times.
The inside of the molds should be
creased with soft soap to keep the
cement from sticking. Spread about
one and one-half inches of concrete
over the bottom and lamp 1t we'll.
Near each corner lay q steel wire
lengthwise of the post. These re-en-
forcing wires should be fairly heavy,
but will moi need to be galvanized. as
the concrete will keep them from rust
Ing They should be looped at the
end to prevent slipping. Now add
concrete up to within an inch of the
top Of the mold. lamp again and put
In two more reinforcing wires. Fill
the mold to the top. lamp and round
OF the upper corners. Long staples
with the points bent a little to keep
them from pulling out should he stuck
into the cement at the places where
the wires are to be fastened. After
the posts are set the wires can be
fastened to these staples BY q small
piece. Of soft wire twisted through
them.
After the cement has partially set
Il should be covered with sand to
keep 1t from drying out too rapidly.
The posts should be sprinkled at least
0nce a day for a week. when they may
be taken from the molds and stored
away in moist sand to cure. It takes
eixty days for a cement post to cure
properly. and It should not be set be-
fore that time. In the meantime the
sand should he Kept moist BY occa-
sional sprinklings. The cost Of ma

posts with creosote is very simple and
inexpensive. Any kind of post is suit
able for use with this treatment-in-
deed. the poorest soft wood posts last
the longest after being properly treat
%. The apparatus needed consists Of
two small metal tanks, one of which
. arranged so that a fire can be built
onder it. Both tanks are filed two.
thirds full of %creosote. which can be
bought by the barrel at reasonable
rates. The creosot in one of these
tanks is heated almost to boiling, and
the posts. which must be well sea-
s0ned. are placed In it and left for
about six hours. Usually only the part
Of the post that is to go into the ground
n treated.
After remaining in the hot ~creosote
for six hours the posts are taken out
and Immediately placed in the cold
ereosote. The sudden reduction Of
temperature causes the steam in the
pores of the post to contract, making
q partial vacuum. and the air pressure
drives the %creosot into all parts Of
the post. This treatment costs only
about 10 cents a post. The treated
posts will last twenty years or longer,
or about five times as long as Antreat.
Cd ones.
In putting up a permanent woven
wire fence great care must be taken
to see that the corner posts are well
braced. Fig. l shows a very efec-
I've way of making a solid corner. The
sorner post should be considerably lar.
ger than the others. A hole 2 by 4
should be dug to set 1t in. Eo!t a
piece of plank about three feet long
to the bottom of the post and a shorter
piece at right angles to the first. Fill
