FEAR is EVIL.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

This is the suggestive picture Of
modern painting:
Some sava-es stand with upturned
faces gazing ut an eclipse OF the sun.
The sun Is partly in shadow. The
weird light reveals the terror written
upon every face.
The picture is named "Superstition."
The savages are frightened at the
shadow Of a shadow passing over the
suns face. Fear of something. they
know not what. makes life fearful
thing.
But. come to think OF it
Civilized man is little better in some
respects. He. too. is frightened at
shadows. His fear is as foolish as that
Of the savage. He works himself into
a mental state where he loses his head !;
the fear becomes Outrageous. and
The panic is born.
The panic is mostly aggregated pes
simism. A group OF men get the idea
that money is going to be tight and
interest rates high. They contide their
fear. BY and by men agree that the
outlook is gloomy. 1t becomes gloomy.
Credit disappears. In abject fear the
panic spreads.
Men say, Money is scarce"
1t Is not true. There Is as much
money in existence as usual. None has
been destroyed. Nevertheless. under
the monstrous fear of what may be.
hard times" appear
Fear is an evil thing. 1t makes the
civilized man n victim almost as help
less as the superstitious savage. 1t de-
stroys confidence, 1t sows distrust. II
paints shadow on the face of the
sun.
Could we Danish fear we could put
civilization ahead a thousand years
Could we cut out pessimism there
never would be another panic.
Therefore the duty Of all who love
their fellows and desire the progress
Of the race is plain:
Preach optimism. Practice 1t.
Let not pessimism and the fear Of
Does the shadow Of shadow appear
over your sun? 1t is only shadow
and will rapidly pass.
Laugh at the shadow
Laugh out loud.
Laughter IS contagious, as fear is
contagious. Fear cannot live in the at
mosphpre of laughter.
1t is in your power to laugh at fool
ish fears and make the world laugh
with you or to cringe and cry out your
fears and make the world afraid.

Palladium SpeciaN

San Antonio, Tex. March 3o--The
latest attempt in this city to solve
the high cost of living is made by
members of Fire Company No. /. The
motto of this company is back to the
soil in their efforts to make their
salary stretch over a long period OF
time. Under the supervision of Dan
kaufman and Charles Morales tnis
company OF fire fighters is cultivating
one OF the largest gardens in the city
stretching from the rear of the fire
station at South Frio and Matamoras
streets and extending several hundred
feet 10 the tracks of the International
railway, String beans. tomatoes, po-
tatoes, butter beans, radishes, cab
bages. lettuce. okra. squash, green
peppers. carrots. Cucumbers. water
melons, beets, and mustard are some
OF the different vegetables growing.
The area for each OF these is laid off
signs of direction by a regular garden

some time in his life. The garden
serves now as beauty spot where
heretofore nothing but stretch of

THE HIGHER LAW.
The old adage says

The old adage says
Self preservation is the first law of
nature"
But that is untrue.
4 bowling blizzard swept the prai-
ries OF the northwest the other day. 1t
was the sort that makes you lose your
way and travel in circles. perhaps in
sight of your home.
Two Yankton Indian women. each
with q baby on her back. were caught
In the storm far from any human hab-
itation.
What did they do?
They took of the blankets that kept
them from freezing. wrapped the
papooses snugly inside them. crooned
the babes to sleep, and then
Lay themselves down and deliber-
ately froze to death.
The babes We're found. alive and
we'll
No. The sordid law of self preserva
ton is not the first law of nature
There is n higher law. and it reigns
even in the savage breast.
1t Is the law of love.
In Chicago recently business man
saw n little child toddle in front of an
engine. 1t was not his child. He ga W
and knew that II he saved the child he
must give up his own life.
He did not hesitate.
He leaped after the child and flung
it to one side Of the track. The engine
passed over him and mangled his body
into a shapeless mass.
Do you want more such stories Of the
heroic sort where men and women
obey the higher law?
Read the daily newspapers.
Self preservation is only one OF the
laws of nature. Men and women love
their lives. but under the pressure o.
the higher law wiil-instantIy or delib
erately. as the case may betting their
lives away.
Man is more than animal
He is the offspring OF God.
And he partahes Of the divine ia
ture. He betrays his kinship.
AS the divine nature is OF the cs
sence of love. so man. put to the su
preme test Of a choice between sell:
and love, chooses to be like God.

panied by committee of Ft Wayne
women, H. f. Barnard, state food and
drug commissioner, made tour of
groceries, meat markets, hotels and
restaurant kitchens in the downtown

information thus gained in talk on
"Womens Work in Home Economics
and Pure Food" at the health week
program at Library hall.
In a general way conditions were
found satisfactory, but Mr.. Barnard
said: 1T is up to the women of the
cities TO make the laws governing gro
GERS and butchers effective. When all
the housewives wake TO facts and con
ditions. we will see change in meth
DDS. We depend largely on the wo-
men TO put careless and unsanitary
merchants out of business.
Barnard insisted every woman
should investigate the source of her
table supplies.
If a grocer employees uncleanly or
diseased help the housewife should
withdraw patronage. If butcher
