Ripping Rhymes
SOLEMN THOUGHTS
By Walt Mason

Soon. now, the laus vacation will dwindle to it's close, the time of recre- ation and fun and goods like those, and in the knowledge palace the wheels once more will turn, and Henry, James and Alice will buckle down to learn. Before the kindly teachers they'll learn to parse and spell, while thinking of the bleachers they patronizcd so we'll
 They'll try their hands at rhyming, at tack the rule of three, while wishing they were climbing mp some ones ap- pie tree. Why are the children sulk
 ing, as sulk they do, it seems, since school is largely bulking in all their future schemes? Why should they hate the cheery, far-sounding schoolhouse gong? They surely must be weary of games they've played so long. Why should they dread returning from scenes of idle play. to wonder seat of learning, where wisdom holds it's sway? The ancient man and woman would pause for reply: well, girls and boys are human, and that's the reason why.

FOR DEMOCRACY AT COLLEGE

College fraternities which have endured perodi- cal assaults from various critics. just received credit on the happy side of the ledger. Dr. Harry Hutchins, president of the University of Michigan, is of the opinion that many the criticisms made against the Greek letter men would have been possible had the colleges and provided the proper meeting ground for all the students.
 "Snobbishness," he said a recent interview. lis the most serious offense charged against the fraternity but statistics gathered Michigan in the campaign for the Michigan Union BudinC which will be the center of all student activities and democratic in of the word, sho.y that tho fraternity eager for cosmopolitan ism. More than - per of all the fraternity men at Michigan already members of the union and that completion of the building, which alumni about to and endow thc Union, probably 95 cent. of the fraternity men Michigan will be members.
 The real reason for the charge of snobbishness against the fraternity has been that they ad- hered too closet yto their small cIrcesN That was true to quite degree. but the large circle didn't exist. The universities except n isolated cases haven't provided the meeting places for all the dents where they can make acquaintances, gather for exchange of Ideas and mnngle with one another in broad spirit of fellowship.
 There is T liberal education in meeting bringing college men into personal with another. Community welfare will thus be to supplant the smaller viewpoint

 "Somctimes the lookout on a great steamer WalloWing and threshing through the heavy seas by night. sees far off on his lee quarter something like a lofty swinging light. Beautiful as a tired cloud, a ghostly clipper ship energes from the surges that keep running away before day on the low Pacific shore It's upper works are kindlcd hY the sun into shafts of rosy flame Swimming like duck steer ing like fish, easy yet dry, lively yet stiff. she lifts cloud on cloud of crowd ed stainless sail.

 "Oh, you're the very bloke I'm looking for. Why, about 'arf an hour ago a passenger went off and left a blooming kid on the seat of my cab; now what am 1 to do about it?"

POLITEN E SS
By George Fitch

Politeness is the lubricant which enables people to crowd past each other without friction. It was in vented, when men were still savages, to cut down the death rate. People did not understand each other in those days and used to bash in the heads of strangers who jostIed them, in an endeaVor to find out what their intentions were. Later the apology, the amende honorable, the After you. my dear sir" and many other useful forms of politeness were in vented and warfare was cut down 75 per cent
 Politeness has now been developed into so fine an art that some people can get along entirely on pOliteness without the aid of any manners at all. But politeness still remains the language of strangers The more in timately acquainted with a man the less polite we are to him. When two men salute each other as scoun- drels and punch each other in the neck with fond smiles, they are very close friends indeed and do not need to resort to politeness in their deal ings at any time.
 When people belong to the same family they understand each other very well and can not only lay aside all politeness but almost all consid- eration for each other. They may reveal their true selves without any patent leather conversation as dis guise and can be as disagreeable as they please, knowing that the family tie can stand the strain and that there will probably be no murder in consequence. Whenever we hear two people talking to each other with comprehensive rudeness and no dis orderly results, we may be sure that they are relatives and love each other so dearly that politeness would be as out of place with them as dress suits at breakfast.
 Nations are ten times as polite as individuals, because they only have one-tenth as much faith in each other No mere man could use the i kind words and gentle conversation with which the powers of Europe conducted the preliminaries of the big massacre last summer. Because of this fact we should not put too much faith in politeness. It is pleas ant to the ear, but a rough tongued friend with a. loving heart is worth a thousand welt-bred conVersationalists with beautiful manners and prospec- tuses for get-rich- quick companies in their pockets.

THE CRIME OF THE
 MODERATE DRlNKER

I saw now why there was so much drinking around me. The world IS filled with men, women, too, that drink moderately and can keep on doing it. They offer no problem. Harm they create, of course, in that they tempt others less physically for tunate to initiate them. They also harm in that they look upon the drunkard with scorn. I did it myself until | learned that after all drum kenness is only relative. But never mind that now l wish to say some thing else. It's preac-i ing, l know regular tract mongering. In my opinion, it's not drunkards that make drunkenness; it's the moderate drin- ker His attitude toward abstinence is what docs i.

I shall positively prosecute all persons who will fur nish me with drink, as stated above. and 1 hereby request all my friends to stand by in my fight to lead sober life.

And in almost every case what has happened? Have they read in it the drama, the pathos, the tragedy that speaks from every line? Not much, they haven't! It's joke a laughl Show that notice to 1 a dozen men. and ten out of twelve will chucllle. And that's why there's a Water Wagon.

 My friend, the down-and-out, I put on his feet again. What is more, since then I have put a dozen others like him on their feet. The lesson, ] however. is exact. It's a waste of time trying to save anyone who will not try to save himself. Before you can help him he must first of all want something else far more than he wants to drink.
 ] And myself, you ask? Well. I took the doctors advice. I hunted up the people that neither drink nor yet i hrag they don't. There are plenty of | them, it seems, after all. I doubt | if one of them would advise you to i quit drinking. If you'd rather do that than something else, why, all right. That's up to you. Five years have passed since I ! climbed aboard the water wagon. I'm still on it.

Alfalfa ~ Fertilizer.

Everybody In this country knows
that the cheapest way to fertiiize land
is with alfalfa. Many OF our western
farmers however are loath to turn
under good stand of alfalfa, and
yet will spend ten and fifteen dollars
worth OF time spreading manure on an
acre OF ground and not get the same
degree OF fertilizing value that they
would from the turned under alfalfa.
II costs from $l.50 to $3.50 for the
to the requirements OF the land, yet
men vii run alfalfa on the same land
for years rather than turn II under
and seed new ground. By turning
few acres and seeding the same
amount of the old land in cultivation
II would not require many years to
have the soil so rich that grain crops
would not stand alone because OF the
weight OF the straw. Then again the
yield of alfalfa would be doubled. ms
the hay producing capacity OF the land
increases with each reseeding. We
often talk OF five or six tons of alfalfa
to the acre. In such case we are
thinking only OF the crops grown on
land heavily manured or that has been
enriched by the turning under of one
or more stands of old alfalfa.-Field
and Farm.
