Long time ago, when the sun was
hot overhead, the old men would call
to the little boys to come into the
shade and stop playing for time.
"The old lady Sun is stopping at
the house of her daughter for dinner"
they would say, "and you better wait
till she is on her way toward the cool
land in the West before you 10 out
again"
And the boys would come into the
house and beg the old man who had
called them in to tell about the time
the rattlesnake was sent up to kill the
sun, but only succeeded in killing the
suns daughter. This is the way it
was:
In that time the sun had no home
at all, but had to keep travelling up the
sky from the east and down the sky
tn the west and under the earth while
it was dark day after day and day
after day.
But the daughter Of the sun had a
nice house right up in the middle OF
the sky, and every day the sun would
stop there for dinner. And every day
the sun and the suns daughter would
have dispute about how the people
on the earth looked. The sun said
that the people were ugly, for they
screwed up their faces when they
looked up at her; but the suns
daughter said that the people were
smiling and handsome, for she never
went out Of her house until the sun
was down past the edge Of the west
and then the people could hook at her
without squirting their eyes.
And the sun would get angry and
shine down on the earth so hot that
the people would swelter, and many
Of them became sick. That pleased
the sun, but it did not please the suns
daughter, who was friendly with man
So the suns daughter sent a message
saying that the little people Of the
woods (the Yunwi TsunsdD would tell
man how to stop the heat sickness.

William Butler Yeats. the founder
OF the realistic Irish drama, is again
IN the United States and To "a New
y FORK reporter explained the seeming
incongruity OF one supposed TO have a
desire 10 revive the poetic drama be
ing responsible for such a school. The
explanation is the truth OF expression.
Preferring the poetic drama Mr.
Yeats yet feels the necessity for that
freedom of expression which may be
termed publicity OF thought and i'm
preston. Writers. he says. must he
allowed 10 express the things they
really feel. When YOU try TO restrict
and censor expression YOU only sue
ceed in making il thrust itself out in
morbid ways. For this reason he
believes in the grim tragedies and
the sardonic comedies Of the poor for
tenement house districts.
These are the expressions of their
lives. OF the lives they live every DAY.
They not only reflect the ugly facts
but expose their horrors and incon-
sistencies and create desire 10 get
away from them. Much less desirable.
Mr.. Yeats thinks. are the sentimental
Eensuous plays. the pretty plays which
are mainly saporific and do not make
people think. The play that falsifies
and distorts for the sake of pleasing
is TO be condemned. IL is better that
We have the naked, displeasing truth.
That makes Us think. and when we
think we do better.
ON the subject OF moral censorship
OF the stage Mr. Yeats takes the stand
that the artist should Dee allowed as
much freedom as the scientist and no
more. Brutality should DE tolerated
~ neither. Consistency reason. com

and the stage should be no exception.

\ DOUBLE PURPOSE.

Congress is about 10 make govern
nent money available for the promo
lion OF agriculture. The Smith-Lever
agricultural extension bill has passed
both houses and is now ready for con
ference. II is expected % be ready
Tor the presidents signature within
Eo weeks
The bill carries an annual apprOpri-
Ation for educa1onal purposes. but no
state is TO share in IL without apprO-
priating an amount equal 10 its allot-
nent. When completed the bill is
Expected 10 provide for an appropria-
ion Of $4,000 for each state the first
year, with an annual increase Of $780,
poo for seven years. After the eighth
year the annual appropriation is likely
b be s4.5OO.OOO.
The funds are 10 be expended for
he dissemination Of agricultural lit
erature. the demonstration Of sclen-
Ijfic farming. and the support Of state
bgricuitural schools. prOratia among
the states on the basis of rural popu-
BATON. and the results are expected
10 be of the highest Importance TO not
pnly the farmers. but the whole coun-
try. With the aid of this education
farmers will be able TO produce large
crops at less proportion cost and thus
hdd 10 their profits while reducing the
cost OF living.
In a way this legislation is con-
trary TO the attitude OK :iIe admins
ItratiOn toward protective tariffs and
subsidies but is a warranted depart
ure in view OF the condition Of agri-
culture in the United States and the
excessive cost of living. The country
can well afford to pay out a few mil
lion dollars every year for the relief
OF these conditions. With it's vast ex-
panses of cultivated lands and the mil
lions Of acres Yet untouched the
United States should be able to not
only feed its own people at moderate
cost and a fair profit TO the farmer
1 but TO contribute largely TO the food
supply OF the world.
IL is just as important TO the agri-
cultural producer as to the consumer
that the production of the land should
| be increased and improved in quality.
The farmers profit at the present
stage Of production and high cost of
living, is too low Investigation in the
corn belt Of Indiana md Illinois. one
Of the most fertile regions in the cOun-
try. shows that the average profit of
the farmer is about three and a half
per cent on his investment
According to America, stanoal Dis
this profit is entirely zoo low. ii
gives the farmers an inadequate re-
turn on his investment and nothing

twice that 20 enable him TO lit his
head above the burdens of business
resulting from the uncertainties OF ia
vorable conditions and TO give him a
fair operating margin which would
free him from the expressions of debt.
Taken with the farm CreG't system
about to be established the agricul-
tural extension fund should enable the
producers of our food products to
eventually adequately supply the de
mands OF trade at moderate cost and
with a fair profit. This is the double
purpose of the double movement for
the relief Of the farmer from a condi-
ton for which he IS only partly to
blame and which levies a burdensome
tax on the pubic at large
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1914-02-09

II is something OF a coincidence that
just now. when there is "A possibility
Of trouble with Mexico and perhaps
with Japan the standing army OF the
United States lacks less than 1000
men OF being up to its authorized
strength. and it is said the naval quota
Is also fun. The army limit is S5,694
enlisted men and 4,744 officers.
This condition is attributed by mill
tary authorities TO labor conditions.
Employers reducing their forces have
laid off the young and unmarried men
and many OF them have enlisted in
army or navy Maj. Gen. William H.
Carter. a veteran commander, says
that except I'm time Of war this is the
only time in his experience as a SOL
der when the army was up to its fun
strength. He thinks there is nothing
in the Mexican situation which ex-
plains it and attributes the unusual
circumstance to the slackness of en-
ployment
Gen. Carriers explanation is a rea-
sonable one Military life in time of
peace appeals weakly TO young Amer
leans The strenuous work of The re-
cruiting stations in ordinary times
proves il. The American youth is re-
luctant TO exchange his freedom of
action for the restrictions of mill
tary camp unless inspired by a patri-
otto call to arms to defend his coun-
try. Though possessing the military
spirit. as proved on many a bloody
field he prefers the civilian life with
its freedom and opportunities.
The American soldier is typically a
citizen soldier. He is capable of being
citizen one day and a soldier the
next. or vice versa. His adaptability
is at once the wonder Of foreign rul-
ers and officials and the safeguard of
his country The revolutionary war
and the civil war were striking Illus
trations of this versatility. No other
nation Of equal Importance could rely
so implicitly upon its citizens for mill
itaTy service in case of need. This &C
counts in part for the large standing
armies maintained by European
powers.
! 1t is fortunate that the condition re-
ferred to exists at this time While
the United States deprecates war and
would DO nothing 10 precipitate il eX-
cept in defense. war may be forced
upon the country and preparedness al
the start, though comparatively small
would be an advantage.
