Such Lovey-Dovey Birds.


II have been interested for a long
time in watching the love birds at the
Bronx Zoo" said a visitor "The male
and the female sit side by side on
their perch all day and snuggle up
They rub their beaks together and
stroke each others heads exactly as
though they were making love- The
other day | missed them when | went
to their old cage. | asked the keep
er about them.
1--WE had to change them to an.
other cage said he. You see. they
we're right next to the canaries and
frequently we would find the latter's
toes bitten off Those love birds look
very gentle and affectionate, but they
can't resist canaries' toes New

The Titanic.

Drowning at sea has always
been among the forms of death
that gil mankind with humility
and terror. To the reason it is
less dreadful than a hundred other
ends-the slow pain of cancer, or
the starvation which comes to the
little child when his Woodworking
mother is unable to give him the
nourishment which he needs.
Distant and helpless peril on the
ocean overpowers the imagination,
because it shows the smallness of
man face to face with nature.
The brief bubble of his life is then
made clear. Custom numbs us to
the shapes in which death turks in
every corner; it is the rare and
terrific that awaken us to the
tragedy amid which we live. In
the sadness of the Titanic's fate,
large element is of course the
needlessness, for the public well
knows that if the same concern
had been given to safety that has
been given to luxury the great
machines built by mans ingenuity
would be even safer than they are.
Even safer" we say, because, in
the very midst of grief, we must
remember that few places on earth
are as safe as the deck of a great
liner-which is no excuse certaily
for allowing the love of money to
keep passengers from being made
still more safe. AS to the increased
danger from the speed mania, the
public must share blame with the
company; for the public would
object to going one or two hun
dred miles further south to avoid
danger; although the extra time
on the ocean would do most of the
passengers good. Our best hope
is that the memory of this catas-
trophe will burn in the consciences
of men until everything has been
done to give to life higher value
than to money or nervous speed.
A happier truth bids US leave
nothing undone to keep green the
memory of those who frightened
the tragedy with sacrifice and with
courage.-Collier's.

Bear this in mind. There is
nothing new. There are merely
new expressions of things as old as
life. Tie lights and shadows of
life differ in successive ages only
in intensity. 1t is now much like
it was when the first heartaches
shut out the light of Eden and the
shadow of the Hand reaching out
! for Eternity fell on the creatures
of Time. Love and laughter,
hope and dispair, the disappoint-
ment of things attained and the
fallen idol-all exult or rankle just
as they have ever done. But life
is qualified with learning. We
are getting nearer each day, the
perfect dawn. We are learning.
as the time speeds by, what our
forefathers never dreamed of and
that is this: Here on this earth is
the heaven they sought only be-

Learn to Think.

for | mean well. The most tire
some thing in the world is an ex-
hortation upon the obvious. But
| shall risk a few long shots at the
palpable-join the Rockefellow
gang and become a tweedler upon
things that stick out. The RAJ est
man in the world today is the man
who thinks for himself, who does
not follow the tinkling bell in the
pasture of thought. Our Ameri-
can life devoted chiefly to the pur-
suit of unneeded increment does
not tend to produce originality of
thought. The average American
never thinks. He merely follows
in the rut-worn deep by the feet
of the rabblement. Opinion is
made in a few spots and there dis
seminated like bread in a famine.
Our institutions have been so rev.
olutionized that the main task of
the average life is not to think,
but to eat. We have become
through necessity too engrossed
with material problems to give
time to those that expand person
atty in any other field than that of
acquisitiveness. We are too lazy
to think. We prefer to get our
opinions as we do our socks, by
purchase. We buy a penny pa
per which peddles the sophistry of
an ass dense as ourselves and APP
plaud a hollow noise. Our obs, r
walton is superficial and we accept
as profound superficial things.

1t is a question of habit. If you

cut out across the fields of in
vesUigation. There is no beaten
path, no sign boards except those
which lead US astray. If you ac-
cept your opinions upon a platter
rendered by others you become
but the goose stuffed to kill. The
man who amounts to something is
the one who manipulates the small
mob which rests on his shoulders.
If you allow others to stuff that,
you become merely an. animated
scavenger cart carrying about the
refuse of other minds. To listen
all opinions, to accept none which
have been put through the cruel
BILE of your mind is the only policy
that will differentinate you from
the OK which gees" when "geed',
or "haws" when "hawed." We
have no ills in this world that are
not the result of laziness of the
human mind. The slave did the
work because his mind
rather than his feet were shackled.
We submit to civic tyranny and
corruption because we will not

we feed has been chewed for us
and we are Intellectually unclean.

Means Of Fighting Drought
Cause Of Much Discussion.
Government Crop Report for August
Shows Many Crops Are Far Below
Average and Loss Runs Into
Millions Of Dollars.

Deep tillage has become vital sub
jeot among farmers all over the United
States. The government crop report
for August has stirred up discussion
everywhere Of means OF fighting
drought. Something must be done.
The report shows the greatest de-
cline In the condition of crops during
q single month since 1904 general
slump throughout the country. due to
drought and intense heat.
Taking into account both acreage
and condition, indications are that the
wheat crop will be Al per cent. less
than the average annual production OF
the last five years. Corn will be Z per
cent. less. oats 1913 per cent. less.
barley 1862 per cent. less. buckwheat
S.S per cent. less. potatoes 21.9 per
cent less. tobacco 26.5 per cent. less.
fax 3.3 per cent. less. than the aver
age production Of the last i've years.
The total loss will run into hundreds
OF millions.
In all the states where the losses
were heavy the early season defii-
cheney In moisture was big factor.
Following the shortage in rainfull dur
ing the fore part of the growing sea-
son, the continued drought and hot
winds caused irreparable damage.
From many points come reports that
farmers are already taking time by
the foreiock to prevent repetition OF
their losses by drought. They will do
it by deep tilling this fall. Soil pull
verized to the depth Of IL to 16 inches
absorbs the rain falls. the melting
winter snow, and the early spring
rains. The water soaks to the bottom
OF the deep seed bed below the point
OF evaporation. and Is held there as q
reserve against the time Of need.
There is no lack of subsoil moisture"
in ground pulverized IL to 16 inches or
more.
II the ground is only shallow piowed
the water runs on or readily evap-
crates. In running on. not only is the
moisture lost, but the ground is dam
aged and often ruined by erosion.
E. r. Parsons, the Colorado dry
farming expert. says:
1--WE talk and complain all the
time about dry years. az II they we're
not always with US. 1t is the wet year
that is the exception. not the dry year.
and II a man plows six or seven inches
Only and produces ten or twelve bush
els In these dry years. then what's
the use OF farming? Every year the
land ia plowed ten or twelve inches
you carry over more and more mois-
ture and your subsoil eventually be-
comes in such q permanent moist con-
dition that you can raise 3O-bushel
crop in the dryest year that ever
struck the west.
This may seem like fairy tale to
those who have never tried 1t. but l
would remind them that in California
they raise every year. without irriga-
ton, a bean crop worth about ten
millions, without a drop Of rain after
the plants are up"
