1NobIesse Chiiua."

None of us have right to look with
contempt upon those. who have re-
ceived less than ourselves. The
old motto of chiyalry, ''noblesse
oblige," should be the motto of all
who by money or social position or
some special talent have an advan-
tage over their fellows. These who
: acknowledge the obligation thereby
prove their nobility.

EARLY WAR NEWS.
POLAND GREATEST WAR FELL
NOW

LONDON, Dec. lit seems clear
now that the German army in Russian
Poland, or that part of it which the
Russians surrounded near Lodz, mar
rowly missed humiliation, the Ger
mans fought with such fury that the
Gordon encircling them was broken
and as German reinforcements are
coming up the issue is not yet de-
cided.
In all quarters it is estimated that
recent claims of complete Russian
victory were premature.
Poland, with Emperor William on
the field, will likely continue to over
shadow all other war areas for some
days to come.
Throughout Belgium, the Germans
are remaining, generally speaking, on
the defense and immediate signs OF a
renewal Of attempts to hack their way
to the French coast are lacking.
Some dispatches say that the Ger
mans already have begun to fall back
from their rear entrenchmentg, but as
the official statements make no men
ton Of this it is assumed it is only a
guess Of correspondents.
King Georges visit to France seems
greatly to appeal to the popular inn
agination. The newspapers are fea-
turing His Majesty's trip, pointing out
that it is the first time a reigning
British monarch has been with his
armies il the field for III years,
George Ii, being the last predecessor
to do so.

fist Church entertained with a ban

PENNSYLVANIA Has Sand.

The production of sand and gravel
in Pennsylvania in 1913 was 6,7O2,499
tons, valued at $4,3S1,692, against
6,509,333 tons, valued at $4,371,513 in

the most important product of this
character in the state, but OF greater
relative Importance is glass sand, in
The production Of which Pennsylvania
ranks first among the states. In the
value of the sand produced, although
not in the quantity, Pennsylvania
ranks first, the precedence in value
being due to the high value Of the
glass sand compared to other kinds. >

DIvERsIFIcATIoN OF CROPS.

The Importance of crop diversi-
fication is illustrated in a dis
patch from Seguin, Texas, which
reports that the German farmers,
who constitute IA majority in
Guadalupe county, are holding
their cotton without assistance
from the banks. They are able
to do this, it is added, because
they produce on their farms near
ly everything in the way of food
that their families require.
There is no part of the coun-
try that is so well adapted 10 di-
verslfied farming as the South.
The one great obstacle in the
way is the large number of ten
ant farmers who depend upon cot
ton as their money crop. The
farm owner and the tenant arr
mutually interested in the produc
ton of sure money crop in or
der that the landlord may get his
rent and the tenant may get his
living. Past experience has
shown that cotton is most Deepen
dable for the purpose. As "A con
sequence the farmers bend their
energies TO the production of cot
ton and neglect other crops.
The same condition prevails in
many parts of Kentucky with Ie-
spect 10 tobacco. There are
many tenant farmers The ten
ant who has "A good crop of TO-
bacco coming on has credit AT
the village store. The man who
owns the land knows he will get
his rent when the Tobacco is sold
II may be that there will not be
much left for the tenant after
paying his rnct and his debts. but
one tobacco crop scarcely is of
his hands before another one is
started aud by the process OF
perpetual motion he at least con
time to exist.
The one-crop system is not a
good one, but tenant farming is
on the increase in every part OF
the country. The farmer who
owns and cultiyates his land can
and ought to diversity his
crops. Under the prevailing rule
there is not much hope of diversi'
fication on the part of the ten
ant.-Lousiville Courier-Journal

The New Street Lighting.

The new lighting system on Pennsyl-
vania avenue is a most satisfactory adj
dition to Washington's equipment. The
individual lamps are powerful and throw
a wide radius of radiance. without
shadows. while they are so close together
that the street is brightly illuminated
from the Treasury to the Peace Monu-
ment. There are no dark corners on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue now, and pedes-
TRANS need not depend upon the lights in
the store windows to guide their foot
steps after dark. The change from the
higher placed. overhanging arc lamps is
most advantageous. The former illumi-
mated the pavements beyond the curb
line sufficiently. but did little for the
sidewalks, while the new lamps illumi-
nate both sidewalks and pavement.
The evolution of electric lighting in the
past three decades has been remarkable
Here and there small towns may cling
to the old style Of urban illumination by
means of high masts bearing clusters of
powerful arc lamps aloft. once the
favorite method of lighting. But these
have long since been superseded in pro-
gressive cities by low scattered lamps,
which have become more and more nu-
merous as the art has developed and as
the public demand for illumination has
Increased. The old fashioned mast method
made a brave show from outside Of town
and In some spots cast fairly brilliant
beams It made the roofs as light as
day. but the shadows were correspond
ingly dense. and at a little distance
from the center of Illumination streets
were cast into total darkness.

Pensions for Letter Carriers.

From the Jersey City Journal.
Several of the states have. like New
Jersey. made legal provision for employ
ers' liability in cases where employees are
injured while at work and everybody
agrees that this provision is just Work
men should not be left MANNED to shift
for themselves.
The employees of the federal govern
ment. however, have as a rule no such
protection The letter carriers have a
bill pending now in Congress that in
sures full wages for a year and half pay
for a second year for carriers injured and
disabled in the discharge of their duties.
The bill also provides for lump sum of
$1,000 to be paid to the dependents of
carriers who are killed while on duty.
This is not very liberal provision. but
it is so much better than nothing that it
is not strange to hear of Representative
Hamill's urgent advocacy of the bill. He
could not do otherwise and there should
be no adverse votes against the bill.
Letter carriers are compelled to work
in all kinds of weather and to carry, un-
der the parcel post system. burdens
which are bulky and heavy These pack
ages produce an extra profit for the de-
partment. but nothing extra for the men
who bear the brunt of the increased bust
ness. The letter carriers pension bill
should become law.

pneumonia prevails to distressing de-
gree. Perhaps the very mildness of the
climate has had Il bad effect. in causing

the serious mistake of regarding fresh

be cold or cool air. A tightly closed
house may ne comfortable as regards the
temperature yet actually dangerous to

but the lowering of vitality through the

poisoned air. Moreover. a deranged di-
