Memorial to Johnny Appleseed.


An association has been formed and
incorporated at Columbus for the pur-
pose of erecting a monument to Johnny
Appleseed over his grave, at Indianapo-
lis.
We trust that this will be done A
generation hence. Johnny Appleseed
may be forgotten and the wonderful
and inspiring mission to which he de-
voted his life. Some finicky horticul-
turist may sneer at the results that
Johnny obtained. But We may be sure
that the settlers of Ohio never sneered.
To find apple trees growing in some
valley remote from home. to come upon
the little clearing and the struggling
fruit under the shadow of a forest,
must have been to the pioneers like
some fragrant breath from home.
One who had been a little girl when
this eccentric was in his prime said
that for head covering he wore paste
board hat of his own making, with one
broad side to it: a coat made of a cof-
fee sack, which served him also as
shirt. and a pair of ragged trousers,
the gift of settler. He never wore
shoes. even when snow covered the
ground. He made "a very unsightly
children ventured to laugh"
"Howe's Historical Collections OF
Ohio" says that his bruised and bleed
ing feet now walk the gold paved
streets of the New Jerusalem" Aye
and we can believe that because of Ap-
pleseed Johnny the air of heaven is
sweeter with the perfume Of apple
blossoms.

Mankind's Enduring Bravery.
From Golfers Weekly.

From Collier s weekly.
The great war has proved one thing
at least: the enduring bravery of man
kind. Military writer's of a few years
ago were sceptical about the soldierly
qualities of modern city dwellers. be-
Viewing that our urban civilizations
must necessarily sap the fighting spirit
nresent struggle has ended all that
sort of comment. Whether Belgian
English, French or German, these
clerks and factory hands can hold their
word can charge and die as valiantly
as any Spartan. The appalling noise
and carnage wrought by modern artiI-
iery results in some cases of nervous
breakdown, but very few in co-npari-
son with the numbers engaged, and by
no means producing effect enough to
insure the success Of the assault fol-
owing the cannonade. The modern
soldier simply digs his trench the
deeper and holds on to meet the at
tack The big guns are called by op-
probrious and contemptuous nick
names, such as BLACK Marias," soup
steamers" and the like. Napoleon said
that the rarest sort of courage is A.
O'Clock ck-in-the-morning courage, but
there Is lots of that in the trenches
along the French border. The Ger
mans have systematically made many
of their most determined assaults in
the small hours following midnight.
but these have been met as calmly and
effectively as if under the MONDAY
sun. 1t will be interesting to see how
the psychologists will account for this
whether il may be ascribed to the very
deadliness of modern weapons, or to
the decay of superstitions, to more
occult causes. This much is certain
better life on earth than many Of them
have had.

''The present law governing the car

adequate, and as a result of that the

The Farm Hand Problem.
From the Toledo Blade.

From the Toledo Blade.
Some years ago, a farm owner in
Michigan lectured us for some kindly
words addressed to farm hands. He
said we knew not whereof we spoke.
The great race of hired hands. once
SO broad of shoulder and tireiess OF
arm had become land proprietors or
had gone to the city. Their successors,
he declared, were a lot of buffers. in
dolent, discontented. negligent and
wasteful. His communication was
scarce dry before one who signed him
self a farm laborer fired a broadside
in reply. Farm owners, said this de-
fender of his kind, had grown more
selfish as they had grown rich. They
were a bunch of drivers. nagging.
So we knew that there was a farm
hand problem. And it has not appar-
emily. disappeared with time. gov
ernment report places it among the
most important difficulties of American
agriculture. 1t stands in the way of
greater utilization of the soil. 1t pre-
vents the planting of crops which
would prove more profitable than
farm owner alone. But for the lack
of labor, many farms with markets at
hand would be turned into truck gar
dens. Every year the wheat country
beyond the Missouri must plead for
harvest hands and sometimes in des-
peration commander them. Sugges-
tions for solving the problem are not
lacking. But none of them is a cure
all. 1t is too complex a question for
that. Probably necessity will provide
a remedy. When beef goes to so cents
a pound and. for want of leather, shoes
sell for $40 pair-a prediction of the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton-the town will have to be deserted
for the country simply because the
country elone Will offer the means of
