FEATS OF ENDURANCE.

A professor somebody may succeed
in playing the piano for forty-nine
consecutive hours, yet the feat will
not make his funeral procession any
longer or the monument with his
name on it any higher. Feats which
are tests only of animal endurance,
such as going without food, eating
excessive amounts of food on wagers,
or determining who can swallow the
most beer in a specified time, have
recently caused several deaths with
but few mourners in the wake.
Notoriety for the accomplishment
of endurance-tO-the-lim feats is of
a pretty cheap sort. Persons who bid
for such notoriety and those who back
others in attempting these feats are
lacking in an important human asset
called sense.

of the product, in the paper and
printing industry 21.64 and in the
iron and steel 22.16. The lumber in
dustry again comes second with 27.-
46, while the vehicle industry leads
with wages of 34.35 per cent of the
total value of its product. The liq-
uor industry pays only 9.01 per cent.
The manufacturers statement in
the Twelfth Census Report shows that
where the combined liquor manufact-
urers should employ 256.6S7 work
ers, they employ but 44.417. They
thus deprive 212,27O men from jobs,
who would have worked and earned
$S12,999.4IO annually if the money
invested in the liquor industry had
been invested in any of the other re-
presentatives industries.
The problem of the raw material
used is important. Raw materials
are a source of profit in themselves
They require men in their production,
and it can be easily seen that indus
tries which use much raw material
are preferable to those which use
little. Now how does the liquor in
dustry stand there? The leather in
dustry. with a million dollars less
capital than that invested in the liq-
uor industry. uses raw materials ag-
gregating more than eight times as
much. The liquor industry instead of
purchasing $39S,176,455 worth of
raw materials only purchased s7O,-
512.O42, and thus failed by $327.-
664.4l3 of it's share While other
industries employ one man for every
,ISS invested ana SpenQ 81 Genus
for raw material, the liquor industry
employs only one man for every $1O.-
3O4 and spends only Is cents for raw
materials.
These figures do not need further
They hold good for Mis-
souri, too. The boot and shoe indus
try, whose invested capital is only
slightly larger than that of the liq-
uor industry, spends three times as
much for raw material, and uses
twice as many men.

How Jim Came to College

The farmer in question was q hard
one. Two of the men had already
called on him and could make no
sale. When Jim went to try his
hand he did not say anything about
pictures at first. The man was tired
of photographers. AS usual the talk
went to horses. The solicitor saw
a four-hOrse team at work on a bind
er. He suggested to the man that
they take look at the wheat crop.
He arranged it so that they would
meet the binder. When they met.
Jim looked at the outfit.
by George" he said, that is a
fine looking team of horses. I'll tell
you what ! want to do. l want to
get a picture of those horses to send
home. | want the people in the East
to see what kind of stock you fellows
out here have"
Jim set up the camera. He knew
if he let the owner of the outfit get
up on the binder, he would expect
some pictures free. The farmer was
shown how to work the camera. the
hired-man came down off the binder
seat. the photographer climbed up
and the picture was made The farm
er thought Jim had come to an inde-
pendent conclusion that here was the
best team of horses in the northwest.
He climed up on the seat of the bind
er. had his picture made. ordered a
dozen and half: had pictures of
the children. himself and wife and
even the dog made; and Jim left with
exposures for $27.5O worth of work.
Jim had another principle. 1t was:
when there is not business, make it.
He got couple of cowboys in a dull
town to lassO the fat, gOod-natured
postmaster and sold more than a
hundred of the pictures taken. Each
picture sold for so cents. He got a
man who posed for an expert bicy-
Gle rider to ride his wheel up a. plank
with one end on a post and down the
other side. He got as many people
as possible to crowd around. The
bicycle rider had just reached the
highest point when he fell. The pic
ture was made while the rider was
in the tumbling act. 1t was a good
seller.
The work was difficult. Mosqui-
toes looked after their share of tor
ture at nights. In German and Cali
clan colonies the roads were bad. As
consolation, though, the photograph
spoke in all langugues. and Germans
were exceptionally good customers.
Railway service on the new road
was bad. but in spite of it all Jim
came back to college last fall with
the best of health, a tanned face and,
well, enough money to pay expenses
for the college year. H. j. NICK.

PARTISAN PAPERS.

Special interest newspapers re-
ceived more than one knock" in the
discussions of Journalism Week. This
would not have been the case twenty
years ago.
Within the last few years most
newspapers have ceased to be SER
wants of some special party or faction
and become servants of the people as
a whole. This change has been
brought about partly by the awaken
ing of the publishers to the fact that
they must serve the public to hold
the public's confidence and partly by
the relative decline of the editorial
columns and the advance of the news
departments in importance.
Yet in this change from personal
ity to impersonality, some newspa-
pers have not grasped the new points
of view. They are still servile to cer-
tain interests which dominate their
policies. AS rule, however, these pa
pers are not the most successful.
The time is not far distant when
a fairer news and editorial treatment
of public measures and public men
will be demanded of all newspapers.
The average man gets the greater
part of his information of current af-
fairs from the newspaper. Surely,
then. he has a right to demand that
tn, newspapers shall not distort or
color these facts.

THE INDUSTRIAL LOSS.

To top all else that might be said
against the liquor industry, is the
fact that economically it is perfect
loss to the workers, compared with
other industries with like capital in
vested. The value of an industry to
the people, besides what it directly
produces, is the amount of work it
gives-the number of jobs it affords.
In this respect. the liquor industry is
a direct loss to the workers.
Figuring on the basis of the num-
ber of men employed for every million
dollars invested. the United States
Census Report states that the paper
and printing industry uses 439, the
iron and steel industry 496. the leath-
er industry $50. The lumber indus
try comes second with 1876. and the
vehicle industry leads with S5S. The
liquor industry uses but 1O4.
Not only does the liquor industry
use less men in proportion to the
capital invested than do the other
representative industries. but in pro-
portion to the value of its product 1t
also pays the smallest percentage in
wages. In the leather industry labor
gets 1853 per cent of the total value

bulletins telling about Missouri farms
The letter said:
''The bulletin even exceeds my ex-
pectatiOns. / rather think that in
this regard at least Missouri GER

investigate thoroughly the advisable
ity of coming to Missouri to live on

The Home Without Ideals.

{ CAN'T understand" said Mrs. Brown, with a sigh. why tboss snus
! { boys play at home the way they do. I can't make my Willie stay al
home a minute. He plays with all the hoodlums of the neighbour
~ hood. I've told him time and time again, he's not to e. with thai
Gallagher boy. But the minute my backs turned, he's with him, rvs
punished him and everything, but It does no good"
Although Mrs. Brown did not realize It, the Smith home was n hom.
with ideals. and hers was & home without ideals. And that vas the root
of the matter
Her Willie looked upon his home rs a place simply for God and
shelter. 1t stood to him for nothing else. He came in to eat his meals
and got out again as soon as he could. He remained out at night until
his mothers yoicer esounded through the neghborhood calling him to CONS
to zee And then he anne reluctantly There vas absolutely nothing
about that home that attracted him, except food when he vas hungry and
a bed when he a tired.
This as also to a large extent the attitude of Wrltes father. And
Brown herself as a rule hurried through her household tasks ana - ~
went In town shopping, or we to q neighbours to gossip, o to a gathering
of friends for cards.
This is not the only home Of ts kind In the country. There arc many
like 1t, mer shells of board or brick or stone, with some furniture vet
about and food o. the table. And often, unless there is a Willie to make
the mother pause and realize that something is wrong, the inmates of such
a home are quite content with It.
But a home needs to be more than food and shelter, II It is to fulaI
Its highest purpose. Its province Is to silently mould character for this

1t must be far more than a roof and furniture and food, And he HON
that is not this is almost as bad as no hons a all. There is much cutlery
today against the decadence of the home. But there is almost as much
need Of cutlery against the home without ideals
And it Is largely up to the mother to create the influences that shall
rule in the home. To be sure, the father should do his share. But We have
formed the habit Of xcusing the American father from home duty scausa
