Whatever Happens, Food Is Never a
Superfluous Luxury.

Only orc European country among
those now working mutual destruction
OF the ordinary means of living produces
enough food for itself, even in time of
peace. Whatever may be the outcome
of the war. there will oe an immediate
demand for food. q demand that will in

Today the normal school is an in
despensable part of the public school
system throughout the United States.

the $4,000 school teachers who are in

the highly trained normal school grad

in diligent study to prepare for the pro
fession. There are more than 300 pub
lie and private normal schools in the
United States today.

enrolled as students aggregates nearly
100, 900 of which three fourths are wo

Boys And Girls And Canning
Hope OF ThetNew Generation

United States department of Agricul
ture. Professor Benson was sent di
rectly from Washington to speak at
Chautauqua.
Professor Benson's special topic was
Boys and Girls and Canning" a lcetur
and demonstration. Boys and Girls
are the special crops to which the de
partment of Agriculture is now giving
great deal of attention. We have
long been trying to improve the wheat
crop, the corn crop and the potato
crop. Now an attempt is being made
to improve the crop of Boys and girls.
Professor Benson had on the platform
all the apparatus necessary for small
home canning factory which any boy
or girl could use in the home kitchen
or the back yard and which has a
capacity of 800 quarts per day.
Thrift, Economy and Industry are
the lessons which should be set before
the boys and girls of country and city
today. The older generation learned
these lessons from the force of
circumstances, but some new method
is needed to teach the new generation.
1t is startling fact that fifty per
cent of all the food products raised in
the country is wasted, while only forty
per cent of the tillable land is used
and only II per cent yields maximum
returns. At the same time half the
population of the world suffers from
hunger. Professor Benson wildly des
cribed the bread line in Boston which
he saw in March. While the land lies
idle the people flock to the cities and
boys and girls grow up unable to do

EDITING LIKE PREACHING.

Editing newspaper in some RI
spects is a good deal like preaching
says the Edmonton Capital. The
gospel truth must be presented i1
the form of generalities or some fe
low will get hit and howl says re
cent writer. Few people like truth
even in homeopathic doses, if it hits
them.
But while preachers and editors
are criticized for what they do say
no one thinks of giving them credit
for what they do not say. Yet what
they keep to themselves constitutes
the major portion of what they
know about people.
Very many people harbor the be-
lief that newspapers are eager to
publish derogatory things. It's a
mistake. There isn't newspaper
that could not spring a sensation in
the community at any time by mere
ly telling what it knows. There is
not a newspaper that does not keep
under the lock of secrecy scores Of
derogatory things which never meet
the public eye or reach the public
ear.
Deciding what not to print is the
most troublesome part of newspaper
work. How many good stories are
suppressed for innocent relatives
and for the public good nobody out
side a newspaper office has any idea

{, In some instances he who flies into
q passion because a newspaper prints
something about him which he con-
siders uncomplimentary has every

And oftimes the loudest buffer is
the most vulnerable to attack. A
big noise is often a device employed
to cover trepidation. Newspapers
put up with more bluffing than any
other agency would endure. 1t is
not because they lack courage; it is
because they are unwilling to use
thier power to destroy or ruin the
