USE
SCIENTIFIC PLANS
Treat Each Problem in Special
Manner and Get Good
Results.

In many respects the Bookloyers'
Contest is now assuming some OF the
most interesting phases OF its brief ca
reer. The interest, of course, has not
yet reached fits highest pitch. but there
have already been shown some remark
able facts which indicate that the ap-
peal OF the competition is universal.
At first there may have been ground
for thinking that the puzzles would be
attractive Clly to the limited class
having an extensive knowledge OF
books But this feeling was dispelled
almost from the first day II was
shown that. so far from being confined
to the so-called literary class" the
contestants were from every walk In
life, and the Pesults clearly show that
those who started out with compare
lively little knowledge Of books are
making more progress than any other
class. Perhaps this can be traced to
their perseverance and TO the fact that
they are treating each puzzle in q
scientific manner.
As already shown in The Washing
ton Herald. there Is now a well-devel-
oped system of treating each puzzle
and those who are using so-called ref
erences in their work ind II possible
to make certain classihcations. Some
Of them report that the system has
been q great help In arriving at solu-
tions, and others say that Il has not
had very large results 60 far.
At any rate there Is no doubt that the
Booklovers Contest has been "on'' In
real earnest for at least a week, and
that the list of aspirants is increasing
daily. o..

And we've got to learn, at the same
 time and with the same certainty,
 that true manhood comes only by be-
 ing earned Tn the ore, iron is of
 small use to anybody. A London suf-
 fragette might throw a chunk of it
 through some inoffending tradesman's window, but that is about all one could do with it. Put that same ore
 in a furnace heated with fierce blasts
 of furious oxygen on flaming coal; melt it, take it to the Bessemer pot Id refuse it with carbon at an even greater heat; mold it, hammer it, ron it between ponderous griping cYiin1prs into shape,-and then you ye got s,me- thng. It may Ee a steel rail, 1t may be q wire, but it's something vou can use, something worth while. The heat and the hammering and the rolling did it.

Some wise and witty Frenohman once remarked with how little wisdom the world is governed. It's more than funny 10 a fairly open minded ob- server to note the different ways in which people go at personal bothers and public problems. Let one farm CT come 10 an open ditch in his field and he just steps across it and goes on. Let fifty farmers come to pub lie ditch and they've got to call out a surveyor and hold town meeting, and appoint a few committees and commls- sions and advertise for contracts, and

Of course, in this rather oracular as sertlon, I'm using the idea of the morn ing nap as a sort of basket to hold a number of similar symptoms of lazi- ness and -coddling The point want to make is that, almost invaria- ply, the motive which sends folks out of the country and into the city is desire for greater ease and opportuni- ties for freer self-indulgence. It's just the outbreak in rural surroundings, of the esprit of effeminating luxu- riousness, which seeks happiness only in the qualification of temporary ap- petites or desires.

But when it isn't just one sleepy, lazy boy, but ten thousand sleepy lazy boys and girls, all of whom would rather lie abed mornings than get up and do the mornings work,-why, then we have to call on professors and edi- tors and logicians and philosophers and statesmen to tell us what is the matter with those young folks and what we shall do about it.

Just in the same way the rough ore of humanity has to be pounded and hammered and ground into shape be- fore it can become real manhood You might as well hope to raise a two-year old colt in minute or to dig refined steel out of an iron mine as expect perfected manhood out of a life of frictionless ease. That isn't the way things go. in this world. We must earn what we get: moreover, we'll generally get about what we earn. And f the immutable laws of charact- er-bu@lding have provided that real ly worth while manhood can only be earned by enduring hardships and talk ing hard knocks, then we may be sure that we can't commute the payment by any amount of mere money Nor can we bamboozle the relentless adminis- trator of those laws. nor bribe any judge or juror in that court.

It always has been, is now and aI- ways will be in the hardships and oc- casional deprivations of the country that are bred the men and women up- on whom the hope of any races fu- ture must rest They are bred there, largely by reason of those very hard ships and deprivations, just as fine steel is bred in the heat of the furnace and on the ringing anvil. No man has the right to shirk such hardships, when they come in his way. His duty is to meet them and overcome them:
 highest joy should be in the sent of mastery and manhood which comes to him, in gloriously growing volume, with every hardship manfully borne and every difficulty manfully overcome. To his duty and to this opportunity we farmers are called with a trumpet toned command Shame on the shirks who would seek to avoid either!
