Books are the windows through which the soul looks out. A home without books is like room without windows.

Modern Society Arrogance.

Manners seem to be largely mat ter of individual preference since there is so little harmony i'll opinion. A wo- man who condemns praise of pretty gown or becoming hat on the score of bad taste will openly criticise her neighbor for acts which arc not to her liking. This is, on the whole, great deal of arrogance shown in setting up standard and expecting the rest of humanity to folh t.--Exchange.

THE HARVESTER DECISION.

IN IT'S DECISION that the International
Harvester Company, known as the "har-
vester trust" is monopoly in restraint
of trade, the United States District Court at
st. Paul, Mimi. specifically states that there
is no limit to the growth of business in
the eye of the law so long as growth is not
the result of combination Of business rivals.
The judges concede that the big corpora
tion has done good, but find that the Sher-
man antitrust act was violated when GER
tain competing concerns ceased to compete
and began to cooperate with the result that
the trust controls over S5 per cent of the
trade in agricultural implements. Had the
five companies which formed the Interna-
tional been small and their combination been
essential to enable them to compete with
large corporations, their uniting would not
have been in restraint Of trade, but in fur
therance of it, The companies however,
were the largest manufacturers of imple-
ments.
Under the courts decision, receivers are
to be appointed unless the $140000,000 cor
poration dissolves itself into at least three
Independent concerns within ninety days
The only alternative is an appeal to tho
United States Supreme Court, and this will
be taken, of course.

AMERICAS GAIN.

IN EUROPE today are some of the most
skilled mechanics in the world. Forced
by the demands of war, thousands of
prosperous businesses have been abandoned
while owners and employees take up arms.
Many will never return. Those that go back
after wars gruelling struggle may find
ruins where once splendid factories had
stood; they may find the savings of life
time swept away, the business that genera
tlons had built up destroyed. Ashes will re-
place many workshop.
The higher class workman Of the CONT
nent or of England is a thinking man. A
very little thought leads to a most certain
conclusion. 1t is folly for man to live in
a country where at moments notice the
hand of steel may show beneath the velvet
glove OF diplomacy and a spark set the ma
tlon on fire. In spite of patriotism that de-
mands he support the land Of his birth,
mans first duty is to his family when
patriotism means blind obedience to a call to
the front over a cause in which the worker
is not concerned. The petty differences of
kings have little in common with the man
who must enforce the will of his emperor.
AS in previous wars when the present con-
flict is >Over, thousands of highly educated
men, skilled in many trades as yet not prac-
ticed extensively in this country, will flock
to America. They are not undesirable citi-
zens, but the best that the lands can give
They are not the pauper laborng class, but
men Of knowledge and Of skill They will
not hinder the growth of trades unionism,
but will be a valuable asset to the better
class of wOrBmen in this country. And this
result is certain one Who cares to see the
labor of years destroyed, his own life placed
in hazard, over the jealousies of govern
mentsY The workman will seek a land where
there are no entangling foreign alliances,
land which will be the commercial leader
of the world if the war continues until
European industries are laid waste
America is the logical place.

FICTION A FACT.

7 EFT HIM who thinks the dreamers have
little influence on the world consider
the life of John P. Holland, who died
in Newark, N. j., recently at the age Of 72.
Born in Ireland, Mr.. Holland was a school
master in this country when the Monitor
and the Merrimac fought their epochal
battle This historic event and the reading
Of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea" led him to investigate the
possibility of submarine navigation. After
five years of experiments he evolved plans
for boat which he felt sure would solve the
problem.
Two boats were actually constructed to be
used by the Irish revolutionists against
Great Britain, but they came to nothing.
But he clung to his idea and in 1875, after
nearly fifteen years of study and expert
ment, he submitted his plans to the United
States navy department. The naval en-
gineers reported them practical, but doubted
if any one would risk his life in such craft
So the department refused to 60 further.
Undismayed by the decision, Mr. Holland
retired to his shop and for eighteen years
more continued working at his plan and per-
fecting it, until in 1893 Congress made an
appropriation of 100000, and the first real
Holland submarine was constructed. Be-

NEGLECTED SOUTH AMERICA.

TINE Department of Commerce has issued
statement showing that exporters in
the United States have neglected South
America. They have built up large busi-
ness with other North American countries,
but opportunities in the southern continent
have been surrendered to Europe.
Trade of the United States with other
American countries in the fiscal year end
ing June 30 last aggregated $1,303 100000,
and constituted 80 per cent of the entire
commerce handled by domestic ports. Of
this new world commerce, 1886, 100000 was
with North America and $347 ,000, 900 with
South America
Our imports from North American coun-
tries valued at 1927 100000, were chiefly
from Canada, Cuba, Mexico, the Central
American states and the British West In
dies Our exports to countries of the north
ern continent, aggregating 1929, 100000, went
principally to Canada, Cuba, Central Amer
lea and Mexico Our balance of trade with
these countries was $102 100000.
The United States supplies larger pro-
portion Of the leading countries of North
America than any other nation, and in the
case Of Canada, Central America and Cuba,
more than all others parts of the world COM
bined.
But IN sharp contrast with our high posi-
ton in North American markets is this
country's low rank among nations selling
goods in South America. During the last
fiscal year our imports from there aggre-
gated 1928, ,000,0 900 and our exports to South
America totaIed only 1924 100000, the bal
ance of trade against us being 100000.
In the case of such important countries as
Argentine, Brazil and Chile, only about Is
per cent Of their imports were from the
United States, as compared with IA per cent
two years ago.
American manufacturers are told that
Argentine imports large quantities of goods
of the class produced in the United States,
but Great Britain and Germany have sup
piled the bulk of them France has sold
Argentine five times as many automobiles,
Germany twenty times as many iron beams
and three times as much cotton goods, and
England twenty-five times as much coal and
twice as much machinery as has the United
States.
Americans are told that a great oppor-
tunity awaits them in the South American
field. The figures bear out the statement
that the field has been neglected.

naval engineers, Mr.. Holland withdrew his
plans and built boat himself. 1t was so
successful that the United States purchased
it outright directly after the Spanish war.
Jules Verne's remarkable dream has come
true and the nations today are fighting un-
der the water as well as on it and in the air
above it. The dreamers always come first
and then come the practical men who put
the foundations under the dreams After
the submarine, the airship and the wireless,
it would seem that little is left in the realm
of the marvellous, but it is likely that we
are still on the surface and that there are
depths to be plumbed Of which we have as
yet little conception.

USELESS LABOR.

EEN NE HALF of the work of the world
is either useless or positively harm
full, because it is unnecessary" said
a recent noted speaker at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College "It is the mission of learn
ing so to direct labor that its product shall
be community betterment. Learning means
more than training the eye and the hand to
do the task skillfully it means supplying the
desire to do the thing that produces useful
commodities.
"There is useless toll as well as a use
full labor. The pyramids were built not for
the good of the people, but to perpetuate the
memory of those who never did anything
worth while to perpetuate it for themselves.
There is no dignity in such labor or in any
other that serves no good purpose nor allows
time for the laborer to lift his head into the
light of the natural and social world around

him. The labor that slants the brow and
bows the shoulders has no dignity.
"Modern as well as ancient times wit
nesses this form Of folly. An eastern poten-
tate had a canal dug to his doors merely that
he might have fresh fish for breakfast Tho
manufacture of harmful luxuries and of the
gim-cracks and gew-gaws of fashion repre-
sents toll that is useless. The modern freak
of fashion that paraded herself in a two
million dollar gown loaded with spangles
and other trimmings strutted in products Of
useless toll All labor that ministers to the
idle fancies of the idle rich is but labor in
vain."

IMPUDENT.

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY demands
that all ships passing through the Oar
danelles shall dismantle their wireless
apparatus and leave it on the shore. This
may be happy plan for the collection of
wireless instruments, but it will not please

In the parable in the Bible, the husband
men asked permission to prune, cultivate and
work with an unfruitful vine few moro
seasons. When it did not produce after that,
it was dug out and destroyed. This is cor
rect agricultural practice. II the tree or
seed does not produce abundantly, it is right
to give it a fair trial and then to cast it
aside. If the COW fails to measure up to
profitable production, she should be sent to
the block. If the hog does not prove a
money-maker, send him to the butcher Give
everything show to make good; if it does
not do it, replace it with something which
will.
