GENERAL LOVE OF PRAISE
Common to Al Mortsls, and In ~,
Proper Form 10 Not IN In
0tInct Of Evil.

Love of praise 10 one of the weak
nesses Of mortals. Some there be.
who II not praised by others. don't
hesitate to praise themselves. II
praised by others, they parade. with
no thought Of the "delicacy Of praise"
what others say Of them. Such deem
it legitimate to solicit the praise for
which they lust, knowing that there
are men In the world who are as
careless In attesting and magnifying
the assumed virtues Of others as
many are In signing petitions. of the
substance Of which they take no
thought.
This love Of praise 10 confined to
no class Of men. 1t is an incentive to
the poor man who works faithfully
for his daily bread; the average man
Of wealth is not deaf to praise, even
though 1t may come from one of his
menials. This love of praise ia not
an instinct of evil, It may be Just the
opposite II It is born of desire to-
be thought well Of by ones fellow
men. or Of a purpose to make oneself
worthy Of the confidence and esteem
OF others. by treating others as one
would have them treat him.

The disposition Of the public In

have no stake and no interest.

GETTING WASTE FRUIT
TO THE CONSUMER

One of the common sights at this
time of year in rural sections, is the
large amount of fruits and vegetables
that go to waste nearly every year.
In apple producing neighborhoods, in
particular, 1t Is common to see the
ground streweS with fruit that has
very considerable value. Similar in
other products, If there is a large
crop or IL the quality is little off,
r. proves 'unprofitable to market the
whole supply.
Y. seems pitiful to see barrel OF
apples beginning to rot under tree
in the country, while only hundred
miles away there are poor people who
can afford no fruit to brighten. up
their meager table.
Sometimes the trouble Is the lack
of farm help. More often it is sim
ply breakdown of our overelaborate
methods of distribution. Yet middle
mems charges are not ordinarily a
heavy percentage. And not many re-
tail provision dealers are getting
rich fast.
The splitting up Of retail trade into
too many small units increases the
cost of distribution. II there are 20
provision stores in a town of 10000
people, many of them must be small
affairs, in which overhead charges
and clerk hire are relatively large.
Having but a narrow income. the
smaller merchants often lack the
courage to spend enough in advertis-
ing so that the public can know what
they have to sell. Supplying 20
small stores involves an enormous
amount of work. for the wholesalers
to solicit and fill all these little Or
ders.
The barrel of second grade apples
that is worth nothing, as 1t lies un.
der the tree In the country, is prob
ably worth from one to two dollars
in the city. Whether through the
parcel post. open air markets, supply
depots, or other methods, America

rect access from producer to con.

PUSH BUTTONS

| walked into the Office of busy
man the other day. His desk was
clear with the exception Of one little
contrivance at the corner-a little
block OF wood with half dozen pearl
eyes on top-a little family OF push
buttons.
Az we talked, this subject was sig
gested and that subject. And every
once in while the trained fingers
would almost mechanically touch this
button, and that button, and immedi-
ately, without loss Of time, this clerk
or stenographer, or executive would
appear, get his Instructions, and then
as unceremoniously disappear, while
the great director Of that vast bust
ness machinery sat at his desk calm
and dominant.
And ever since, have tried to
evolve the many little lessons OF the
push buttons.

machinery of my body and of my

how incomplete the handling of this

l have been working at figuring out
a little push button system OF my

is the little button to get to bed
early and rest and relax your great
little machine. And here is the push
button to rise promptly and to lose
no time in the preparation of the ma
chine for the days work. Then there
is the push button to do this thing
and the push button to do that other
thing. But the important thing is
to get these little buttons properly
labeled and to learn TO mechanically

TWO MAJOR GENERALS

Only the most severely wounded
who are unable to bear the transpor'

The correspondent on trip to
Liege was able to inspect some OF
the trains for woundeda Such trains
are usually composed Of coaches OF

Each car has a hospital attendant

we're apparently making fairly quick
recovery.

GEOGRAPHY AND
THE WAR

About the only way most people
learn geography is by travelling. or
through being interested in a war.
As the majority of people travel lit
people know little about geography.
The comments one hears on the war
In Europe show surprising ignorance,
considering that every one has stud
led the subject in school.
II is rather remarkable that the
old fashioned schools did give so
much attention to geography. Tne
Three RS" we're distinctly practical.
People studied "Readin." "Ritin," and
arithmetic" because otherwise they
could not engage In business or earn
a living.
But it is perfectly possible to earn

or successful. and yet to know prac'
tically nothing about geography. Here

in hundred who previous to the
recent fighting. could have located
the vosges mountains? Or was there
one in hundred, who could have
placed correctly the city of Louvain,
now destined for a fiery Immortality !?
Geography is broadening study,
and It ought to be taught SO that
people will remember more about It.

tains, cities, are as elusive as the

somehow be connected with human

helpful to memory.

Ell ECTING A
N EW POPE

The election of a new pope would
have taken far more attention had
not the black headlines in The news.
papers been taken by the war. The
Italians predominant in the coaclave.
Hence as an expression of world
thought, 1t is not SO cosmopolitan as
1t would be were all the powers equal
ly represented. But the Italian ele-
ment is not so strong as formerly.
The election of Pope Plus repre-
scented the tendency of the times to-
ward Democratic feeling. Previous
popes have largely been men from
the upper orders of Italian society.
They may have been democratic in
their feeling, but at least they were
more or less aristocratic in blood aud
environment. The election of Pope
Plus, coming from an obscure fam
lily, was in striking contrast.
The choice of Benedict XIV, is held
to represent in measure the revcr-
sion to the older type Of diplomatic
popes. The intense racial and ma
tional antagonisms now excited, call
for this mastery in strategy. The
Italian temperament is keen. acute.
penetrating, seeing with uncanny
swiftness into human motives.
Without armies or navies to back
them, the popes have usually foile3
the most consummate politicians Of
Europe.
AS a spectacle, the election Of a
pope has no counterpart. The gen.
eral purpose is to dignity the cere-
monial. and to shut off the electing
cardinals from outside influence. In
old times, the impatient populaee
would tolerate no delay. The cardi-
nails were starved out, as juries are
forced to an issue in this country.
II the election was delayed eight days
these mighty church men were re
duced to bread and water. For
many years these rigors have been
relaxed. but in most respects the
event still has the austere and lofty
dignity of medieval monastic life.

WHAT BECAME OF THE
INCOME TAX


rectly as to the yield Of the SO called
normal income tax" But in the
higher scales of payment the results
proved disappointing. About $4,000
900 was expected on incomes ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000. But the
government actually got less than 3d.
100000 from this class.
Have our millionaires lodged the
tax? 1t would hardly seem safe
game, considering the indifference
that internal revenue collectors show
to local sentiment.
There seems to be one very wide
loop hole. And that Is in the gen.
eral understanding, as the law is in
terpreted, that losses In investments
can be deducted from income. There
was, during the last calendar year,
a large shrinkage in the stock mar
ket. A great many millionaires sold
stocks at loss. These shrinkages
were probably deducted from income,
so that nothing taxable was left. Al
so, II In making returns, people have
been permitted to value their pres
ent holdings at the market quotations
prevailing last December, thousands
OF persons of great wealth would be
able to say that they had no taxable
income.
This is of course a perfectly fair
way of making these returns, provid'
ed that when the market rises, the
advance in values Is treated In Just
the same way. 1t is quite possible
that the tax payer will not then be
SO ready to pase his return on marker
prices.
The treatment OF such shrinkages
and accretions of value is very diff.
cult. 1t would seem at first sight
that such changes In value should be
calculated only when an actual sale
OF a stock has been made. Yet that
would bear hard on people who have
permanently invested in certain Sc.
curities, and whose capital has shrunk
