AN EFFECTIVE ANTl-WAR
CAMPAIGN.
Chicago Publicly

If Henry Ford did, as reported, ex-
press a desire to use his fortune to put
an end to warfare, he will have less
difficulty than Andrew Carnegie in get
ting on the right track. Mr.. Carnegie's
efforts have been largely misdirected,
in spite of good intentions, because he
has ignored the economic causes of
war. Being a staunch protectionist he
has been unable to see that in support.
ing protectionism he was necessarily
doing more to perpetuate international
hatred and jealousy than his efforts in
other directions could destroy. Mr.. Ford
would start out without this handicap.
He believes in free trade all over the
world. He would have the tariff abol-
ished entirely. He is opposed to mo-
nopoly of natural resources. So an
anti-war campaign directed by him
might reasonably be expected to strike
at the causes of war.

THE LONELY JOB.
youths Companion.)

A man who has dealt much with boys
and been wonderfully successful in
leading them into the right kind of
manhood says that "the lonely job" is
one of his best agencies. He refers to
the task in the field, the barn, the shop,
or the engine room, where a boy is
sometimes alone for hours at time,
with opportunity to think as he works
This man does not hold human fell
lowship lightly, for he knows well the
value of companionship, the inspiration
of friendly conferences and discussions
and the power of teamwork; but he
also knows that it is well for every
person to have an occasional hour or
two alone, and that it is especially
good for the normal, growing boy.
1t is not an accident that the great
leaders of history have been men who
were much alone in boyhood. Read
the life stories of Moses, of Abraham,
of Joseph, of David. The herdsmen
and the shepherds of old had lonely
jobs; from among them came poets,
prophets, and even statesmen. Our
own Washington and Lincoln laid the
foundations of their greatness in lonely
days and years spent in the wilderness,
There are countless other examples in
science, literature, and craftsmanship.
The great things of history have
been, for the most part, the result of
the organized efforts of many men, but
the leaders got their training in hours
of solitude. 1t is nothing to marvel at
that remote farms have furnished
many, perhaps most, of the men who
have won greatness in the cities.
Do not despise the lonely job. 1t Is
normal to desire the society Of our
fellows, but there are better things
than being sociable all the time.

ed for these last-named schools from
the general fund, and gave them also
liberal opportunity for advancement.
But the elementary schools, in town
and country, kept their own, and their
better equipment, the many instances
of wise consolidation, the opportunity
for securing better teachers all testify
to the fact that the common schools
have received more than ever before.
If this be extravaganza, if this be
incapacity, let Gov. Halls detractors
make the most of it! But there will
be no politician of note who will have
the hardihood to do so. He would not
dare say that one dollar thus spent has
been Incorporated, or that the COM
mon schools should be deprived OF
funds for the benefit of anything what
soever. The interests of the younger
generation are supreme.

Plant the Perpetual onion seed In
rows half an inch deep and the young
plants will be up ready to be thinned
before frost. The trouble with autumn
seed planting is that the hot, strong
winds dry the soil SO the seeds cannot
sprout. To avoid this, water the onion
seed each morning and il frost threat
ems, throw a sheet of canvas over the
little bed at night. Later mulch the
plants and early in March rake the
covering off. By the middle of April
the shoots will be covered with tiny
bulbs or "sets." Pick these off and
use just as you would young onions.
The bed need not be renewed for at
least five years and you will have all
the onions you can possibly use in
space six by ten.

IF THAT BE ExrRAVAGANcE-

The foregoing editorial, mot Gov.
Halls Fault" is written from differ
ent viewpoint than that of the arti-
Gle, published on the first page of
this paper, wherein it is shown that
had Governor Hall followed the prece-
dent set by Gov Sanders and had
provided for the high schools and the
agricultural schools out of the current
school fund that instead of prospec-
tive deficit in the general fund of be-
tween three and four hundred thousand
dollars, there would be instead a sur
plus of more than a hundred thousand
dollars.
But Gov. Hall took the position that
1t was the intent of the law to provide
for the elementary schools out of the
current school fund, and the latter
should not be expended for the higher
schools. He would not divert one cent
from these elementary schools, where
the children of the state might at least
get the rudiments of an education
whether or no they were ever able to
acquire any higher education. Instead
therefore of using $2OS,OOO for the high
schools and agricultural schools as
Mr.. Sanders did, Gov, Hall appropriat-
