FINDS LESSON in THE WAR
Dean Hodges Points Out Four Things
Learned as Result Of Great
Struggle.

That there are four great lessons
being taught by the present war in
Europe was the declaration of Dean
George Hodges of Cambridge Theolog-
ical seminary, former rector Of CAL
vary Episcopal church, Cambridge, in
a sermon on 1.-THE War" from the pull
pit he used to occupy in Cavalry, re-
Gently.
"The war will teach that a nation
is not exalted by material strength"
said he. ITO be exalted a nation must
have, beside material strength. the
true ideals of brotherhood. The Sec
ond lesson that this war is teaching Is
that might is not right, and any nation
that thinks so to the contrary will re-
greet 1t. The third lesson is that peo-
pie have been wrong in saying that
men are invincibly selfish, for this war
offers thousands and thousands of
cases Of men gladly giving up their
lives. The fourth lesson is that tie
old belief that war is glorious is a
false belief. War Is far from glorious
and we are realizing it today as never
before. Because Of the neglect of ma
tional Christianity we find this war
existing today Christianity is for ma
lions as we'll as for individuals and
that will be the one great, comprehen-
sive lesson this war will teach"

Trickster,

John H. Finley, New York's COM
missioner of education, said in AL
bany, apropos of an argument on BIZ
BILE reading in the schools:
This argument is straightforward.
1t does not shift and jump and beat
about the bush. 1t isn't like the tricky
schoolboy.
Which would you choose his
teacher asked this schoolboy, the
tenth or the twentieth part of an
apple?'
THE boy answered that he would
choose the twentieth part, and then,
noting with his shifty eyes his teach
er's frown, he added, hastily:
az don't like apples, you know =

WILL GIVE BOYS CHANCE
TO RAISE THEIR MELONS

Violin. S. D.. May $50 emove the
temptation of luscious watermelons
growing within night riding districts,
f s. Violin, a farmer living near Violin,
has formulated a plan to give the
town boys q chance to raise their own
watermelons, as well as m~uskmelons
and pumpkins. Violin Is noted as a
raiser OF watermelons, and each sea-
son for a number OF years the town
boys have raided his patch and n
vested or destroyed the greater part OF
the crop. To remedy this and remove
temptation for further raids he a
offered the boys of Violin an acre Of
his land free OF charge, on condition
that they plant it to watermelons,
muskmelons and pumpkins. The only
other requirement is that they take
proper care Of the crop. The boys have
not yet accepted the liberal offer, and
now are debating whether melons
which are stolen would taste better
than melons of their own raising.
