KEEP OFF THE TRACK

How often do we notice this warn

to throw out the life line and give
the warning to KEEP OFF THE

makes the warning necessary and

SENTIMENT VERSUS FACTS

SENTIMENT VERSUS FAClS
We are living in progressive age
when every man has his ideal
some objective point, that marks
the standard of his ambition. This
is all we'll and good. provided it is
not biased by sentiment, and as sen.
tinent is nothing more than pas
sion. one is apt to allow it to get the
better of his good judgment and
may lead him astray. Do not infer
that WE WOULD ELIMINATE SEN
TIMENT, but on the contrary,
WOULD CULTIVATE 1T to point
only. where it would not take pre-
cedence over facts. Sentiment
plays very important part in all
communities and is too often the
basis of action, when cool delibera-
ton and knowledge of facts would
often turn the tide of affairs of men
and better results would be OBJ
tanned.
It is difficult matter for any body
of men to whom the community
look for progress, to gain much head
way against sentiment, and it is a
dangerous weapon in the hands of
a majority. 1t takes a MIGHTY
GOOD MAN TO CURB IT. Senti
ment may be cultivated and when
based on facts is a weapon of de-
fence, and good trait of character.
The way to get at all this is TO KEEP
POSTED on the current events of
the day, study both sides of any
question, deliberate and put yourself
in the other mans place-then what
would you do under the same con
ditions and under the influence of
sentiment it is a question. Are we
led or do we 90 astray? Look we'll
to facts, STAND FIRM FOR THE
RIGHT and STAND OR FALL ON
HONEST CONVICTIONS, whose
foundations are facts. FACTS
ARE PURE UNVARNISH
TRUTHS and one can not get be-
hind it for protection, without knowl-
edge. Be good observer and study
facts.
A man may be so busy caring for
his own comforts and denying the
need of any assistance, he forgets
that there are others less fitted for
the battle of life than he and fire.
Quently turns to protest against in
terrence, in his pursuits for happi- |
ness. And we have them with us
always!
Is it not fact that one half of
the world do not really know how
the other half exists? How many
of the rich do you suppose really
know the actual conditions existing
among the poor? Expressed sym
pethy is only sentiment unless back
ed sup by something more tangible
than expression, and it is commend
able in many of our wealthy people
to render the assistance that elimi
mates hunger and distress among our
worthy poor, and it is done in our
beloved country on a larger scale
and to a greater extent than any

REST FOR MOTHER

Inc Influence of the mother upon the Ideals of her children will not for d moment be questioned, yet how meager are her opportunities in the average farm home!
 The home and the farm are too oi'en the extent to which the mother travels Even the city, though it may De only a half-day's travel. seldom affords a change of scene. The daily drudge and toll incident to preparing the meals, keeping the house in order ana rearing the children are the mo. notonous round of duties, with little tune or thought for recreation.
 With such small circle in which to ind new and interesting thoughts. there IS little wonder that many moth CTS do not keep their children inter- ested and impress them with the i'm portance of education.
 There are no better lessons than may be found by travel. An occa- slonal visit to the city; a few days spent Tn nearby village or town may be worth much to an otservant, dili gent mother who longs for new thought and new inspiration to bring into her home. A fishing trip, pie mic, an outing in camp, even once a year, would break the monotonouc chains that bind mother to the house hold, refresh, rest and cheer one en- cumbered with irksome Jacks.
 Since mother is the most important parsonage in the house because of her influence, vacation, rest and recrea- tion are of paramount importance. The children will love her better and she will have a greater influence for a happy home life if she be given ways and means of seeing more of people and of life in other neighbor- hoods.
 One of the cheapest and best means of giving mother a change to visit and commune with neighbors, attend fairs, churches and outings is to i'm prove the roads and keep an automo- bile, and in this way place her and the children in communication with means of education and amusement.- Farm and Ranch.

The Result in St. Louis.

Chicago Evening Post.
 While Chicago was electing Williams Hale Thompson Mayor by 147OOO plurality a similar overturn was talk ing place in St. Louis For the first time since 1912 the c. o. P. was put in complete control of the city gov ernment.
 A straight out-and-out confession of the reason for Republican success in St. Louis is thus given in behalf of the Democrats by the Republic of that city: What struck us? The ex- plantations offered by our critics are as inadequate as the Democratic vote was. We cannot afford to blink the real causes of our defeat. We were overthrown by the votes of working men. It then goes on to point out how Democratic policy of railroad batting in Missouri affairs had "ham- strung the principal industry of St.. Louis."
 This, according to the Republic, led the business men to reach over and join hands with the workingmen. This is reunion which Democrats have to fear even more vitally than a reunion of Progressives and Republi- cans. Once it is made, it composes a voting force which even so popular a Democratic President as Grover Cleveland could not withstand.

SPEED OF SHELLS AND CANNON
 BALLS,
By Edgar Lucien Larkin.

By Edgar Lucien Larkin.
 The war in Europe has many scien- tifc phases aside from it's horrors. For instance, here is a question which presents an interesting scientific pro blem:
 "What are the velocities of shells at muzzles of cannons and at distances and what is friction of the air?"
 Speeds of shells and canon balls vary with conditions of air, winds and somewhat in shape of shell. Thus a shell 9.2 inches in diameter, having a weight of 80 pounds, when tested and measured by modern electrical de vices the only accurate method gave results as follows: Muzzle velocity 2,S75 feet per second; and at dis tance of 30,0OO feet its speed was only 1,2S4 feet per second. As the striking force varies directly as the square of the speed at instant of i'm pact, the loss was great, as there is large difference between the squares of 2,S75 and 1,284.
 A six-inch shell, weight 100 pounds, had a muzzle velocity of 2,493 feet per second, and at the distance of 24,- 900 the speed was 1902 feet per sec ond. An 1S-pound shell had a muzze velocity of 1,610 feet per second, but the resistance of the air caused this to slow down to 1,030 feet per second at the distance of 6,000 feet, and to TAO feet per second at the distnce of 1S,000 feet. This shell lost 5S0 feet in speed per second in moving 5000 feet
The Prescott daily news., 1915-04-21

at first, but only 290 feet per second in traversing the 12,0OO feet from 5000 to 18,000 feet distance.
 Then the resistence of the air at high speed is much greater than at low. But sound traverses the air at it's usual temperature and pressure with velocity of 1,090 feet per second.
 Go stand in front of a cannon and you can hear the shell coming if you are more than 6,000 feet away. Guns have been thus tested at all speeds and ranges. But the money crimi nally wasted in test of one gun would build a small house for a poor family.
