A Proud Victory for sobriety.

Minneapolis Tribune: The Pennsyl-
vania railroad is Of the great cor
porations that insists on sobriety in
it's employees of the operating depart
ments. Not only does it insist on alb
solute abstinence while on duty, but
it's ban is against habitual drinking
or frequenting places where liquor Is
sold.
The company employs tens Of thous-
ands of men. It watches these men,
for no. other railway company in the
country is more, paternal or quicker
to recognize ability and to reward 1t
with promotion. In the month of
February, 1925 observations We're
taken on % divisions to note how the
men were keeping the rules relating to
drink. Not one employe was report
ed deficient. In other words. every
man of the tens of thousands had
kept faith with the company.
On the divisions east of Pittsburg
6S9,099 observations were made to
note how the employees observed the
rules pertaining to train safety, and
$50 per cent showed perfect scores.
Nobody can fail to see the relation
between the n record and the other.
Not a word need be said on why great
corporations insist on abstinence. Eff
fciency and intemperance have al
ways been antagonistic.> The wonder
is that practical economists did not
recognize SO glazing q truth years
ago.. f.

WEAKNESS OF THE STRONG

che Army, Declares Surgeon Of .
Experience. =

IL 10 a common experience In war
that medium sized and short men
game into camp In better shape than
the tall and strong. Attention has been
called by a foreign army surgeon to
the eventual collapse Of officers who
were distinguished as athletes. The
nonathlettc last longer az officers and
give better service In the long run.
The usual explanation has been that
athletic sports q strain for
which the organism Is not built. The
nervous system is more or less ex-
hausted, particularly when training
rs practised for long periods.
Perhaps, also, the exceedingly mus.
cu4ar r tempted, every now and
then, to exert their full strength for
short periods, and thus put the it's
sues to an unusual strain. although
never indulging in athletic sports.
In no other way, for instance, can
we explain the utter collapse and
death of Petty Od1cer Evans, the
strongest man in the tll-fated Scott ex-
petition to the South pole. He must
have had a weak spot which gave
way under strains which we're harm
less to the rest. He may have been in
tured by falls on the ice and he did
not have the great mentality neces-
Bary to keep him alive and going In
spite of ~adVersity.
It is this unknown quality Of grit,
or be- kbone, which enables men to
surmount ltfe's obstacles. 1t is in
herent in the quality OF the STUFF our
nerve cells T made of. Evans lost

for him. Men Of great heart" win
not i've way to despair when exhaust
ed. He was simply unfit, but no one
seems to know why. Was he too
strong?

troduced by Mr.. MCGUIRE as the "orig-
inator of the Farmers club move
ment." His subject was The Work of
the County Agent.
Mr.. Wilson first made some comment
upon the extension division of the
college of agriculture. He said there
were about 1000, 900 people on the
farms of Minnesota. and that the ex-
tension division had, all told some-
thing like $1,000 900 a year with which
to carry on its work, of 10 cents to
each person on the farms. The people
must not be greatly surprised that,
with SO limited a sum, only a little
could be accomplished each year. One
of the agencies used by the extension
division was the county agent.
County Agents Duties.
The duties of the county agent were
outlined. The county agent, said MI.
Wilson, was not supposed to know all
there was to know about farming. No
one ma could know all of that. In

Women Planning Big
Thing for Development

Thief River Falls. Mimi, June s.
The Woman's auxiliary of the North
ern Minnesota Development associa-
ton, now in session here. is planning
some great things. The chief Of these
Is the formation of the calling Of wom-
en- visitors, to do for the women Of
the farm a work similar to that being
done for the men by the county
agents.
The idea is not new. but it has not
been tried in Minnesota except in a
different way by visiting nurses. and
with these the aim is very different.
The women will push the plan. The
men of the general association will
support the movement.
Other aims of the women are the
furthering of plans for more aid for
consolidated schools; the use of pris-
on labor for improving the road sys-
TENS of the northern counties and the
fostering of sentiment for the $780,
600 revolving fund for the development
of roads through swampy areas.

very small part of what was to be
known about farming. But the gov
eminent was collecting a great deal of
valuable information as to farming.
The state experiment stations were
collecting more. Then the farmers of a
community possessed a lot of informa-
ton of the utmost value. The problem
was to get this information into circu-
lation. That is where the county agent
came in. He would get the information
of the governments, supply and from
the experiment station into the hands
of the farmers in a practical way, and
he could tell one farmer Of a commu-
nifty how another was solving certain
problems that the first was wrestling
with without much success. and so On.
Mr.. Wilson told of the work done by
the states county agents. One alone,
he said, had saved enough hogs in his
county to pay for all of the county
agent work done in the state for the
year. ....,... ...,.....

When MI. Taft Became JUDGE.

Professor William Howard Taft tells
an amusing story that involves his
wife. He says that when they had
been less than a year married, and
he was still under 80, he went home
one day to ask how she would like
it If he were appointed a Judge of
the superior court. She bade him not
try to be funny. Such a thing could
not happen. Why, her own father
had just refused that very appoint
ment. But "Will," as she calls him in
recounting this incident in the Deline-
ator, assured her that it was true.
Governor Foraker had actually offered
him the place left vacant by Judge
Judson Harmon. And now comes in
the joke on Mrs. Taft, for her husband
insists that her only comment was,
well, at any rate, / know nobody
would eve think Of giving you such a
position at your age If you were not
such a great big creature" He served
an interim Of IA months, and was
then elected to the office. the only
elective position he ever held except
that OF president.
