How can we measure the value of a man?
Lord Haldane, recently at the head of England's
Judicial system, says human life is worth $4,000.
The statement is arbitrary. You wouldn't sell your
life the life of of your children for $4,000 or
any multiple thereof.
In law there has to be dollar measure that
tom in America has fixed this measure 1t about a
fifth of Lord Haldane's estimate. In number of
states, if a railroad kills man, his dependents can't
recover than $4,000. The legally allotted dam
age for manning man is often indeed usually larg
er than for killing him.
But of course this makes only blind stagger to-
ward justice. Suppose than Lincoln or an Edison
a Marconi had been killed in his youth. Would
$4,000 compensate civilization for it's loss!
On the other hand, you have seen many human
derects-bums, wastres, ncompetents = whose
lives you wouldn't think of vauing at $4,000 apiece;
though in each was once an invaluable human soul,
with limitless possibilities of development.
We have thrown them on the junk heap
would discard old machinery old shoes and
thought no more about it.
The fact is, there isn't any way to measure the
value of man in terms of dollars and cents. The
best we can do is to go on making blind staggers.
But we can save and enrich human life by curbing
greed and upholding brotherhood. We can give our
children better chances. We can emphasize those
values which aren't computabe by the dollar stand
ard. We strive to pass prosperity and welfare
around
There is no end to such task Remember that
when next standpatter pleads with you to let well
enough alone.

Plateau Hat Suffering From oVerpop-

where cheapness is essential the little

and with the most impossible flowers

knell of the plateau hat has thus been
rung, the more exclusive houses are
turning their attention to the ribbon
model, a hat which needs the master
hand to drape its graceful crown and
brim.

are arriving. their plated crowns OF

TO KEEP HANDS IN CONDITION
important, After Cleansing, to Rub
Lather Well In Until u 10
Absorbed.

Use a soap rich in oil and contain
ing no alkali to crack and harden the
skin. CASTLE soap is good. but there
are other good soaps that are just AZ
suitable. After the hands have been
cleansed and thoroughly rinsed. .
lather made from the soap should be
rubbed into the hands and wrists. Con
tinue the rubbing until all the lather
has been absorbed or there is very lit
tie to wipe away. The oil feeds the
skin. keeps 1t soft and prevents the
shriveled appearance and feeling
which comes especially to hands that
are kept for long periods in hot water.
Hands thus treated are soft and white.
1t is important to remember that the
lather which Is rubbed in Is not the
lather with which the hands are
cleansed, but a fresh lather. made aft
er the cleansing has been completed.

GROWING HOGS NEED SUMMER PASTURE

Wheat, oats and rye. while they are
among the crops pastured most. are
not good for summer pasture. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Kenney, rape is one
OF the best supplementary pastures for
hogs in the summer, as it can be
sown at any time between April and
July Is. II should be sown so as to
give pasture when II Is most likely
that the pastures will be deficient.
A good field OF rape win carry from
ten to twelve 100-pound hogs. and 1t
is possible to start pasturing 1t from
six to eight weeks after sowing. II
rape is sown early It is possible to
pasture it through the middle Of the
summer and again late in the fall. II
the season is not too dry. Rape tends
to cause scabblness on the nose and
the ears OF hogs. especially II 1t is
pastured when wet. This. however, is
not a serious trouble, Mr.. Kenney be-
lieves.
Sorghum is also a good pasture for
the summer time, but should not be
pastured until II is from a foot to a
foot and a half tall. The period In
which sorghum may be sown is not
so great as that in which rape may
be sown. but II may be planted 20 a.
to provide pasture during the bot. dry
part Of the summer. when other paa.
lures are short

Hogs should be we'll provided with
a good summer pasture, and this Is
the time OF year to arrange for such
a pasture. Ralph Kenney OF the
agronomy department Of the Kansas
State Agricultural college says 1t Is
of particular importance that some
kind OF a supplementary pasture be
provided this year; for according to
many reports that are coming to the
college. the native pastures seem TO
be OF low vitality and are starting
slowly this spring.
The pastures most commonly used
for hogs. especially in Oklahoma and
the southern part Of Kansas, consist
of alfalfa, wheat, oats and rye. Al
falfa is one OF the best. II will carry
from eight to twenty hogs to the
acre. depending largely upon whether
Il Is upland or lowland alfalfa. Some
farmers prefer not to pasture a field
to its fullest capacity. They cut for
hay what the hogs do not eat.
This method OF pasturlng Alfalfa is
very satisfactory, Mr.. Kenney says.
for the hogs do not seem to waste
much Of the alfalfa, and there Is less
danger Of killing the plants than Is
the case when The alfalfa Is kept
closely pastured, n the year is IA
vorable, alfalfa win furnish pasture
for six or seven months, provided Il
Is not pastured too heavily.
