Leaving out certain magazines
whose contents involve a liberal use
of technical terms, large number
OF the literary gems in our highest
class periodicals are never read by
the average person for no other rea-
son than that the articles are shot
above their heads. Every person
who hopes to have a comprehensive
access to the best that literature af-
fords must by persistent effort strive
to increase his sphere of understand
ing to a point where he is able not
only to interpret the words literally
but also able to grasp the meaning
of the associated ideas that come

STERILIZATION Discussed at LaCrosse

Sterilization Discussed at Lacrosse
Arguments on the sterilization OF
detectives were made at Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, recently in the State Char
tiles conference.
An argument for sterilization,
which is permitted by the Wiscon-
sin law, was made by Professor Guy
er of the University of Wisconsin,
who declared that the maintenance
of the insane and feeble minded was
costing the people of the United
States more each year than the total
cost of building the Panama canal
He favored the elimination of that
class of persons in one generation,
by sterilization.
Charles c. Stollman, secretary OF
The Associated Charities of st. Paul
made vigorous reply. He said that
sterilization Is impracticable and
that it would not be permitted by
the public on large scale. He fal-
ored the segregation of detectives.
Country people were criticized as
being more immoral than town folks
by Professor Clark Hetherington of
the University Of Wisconsin. lie al

loaded with grain, which is nothing
remarkable, but two heavily loaded
wagons were being drawn by gaso-
line engine that Mr.. Wilbanks made
himself, and it seemed to travel twice
as fast as the teams did. The drive
wheels were taken from a header,
the running gears were made at
home and the motive power was an
old automobile engine that had been
discarded. He had plowed and
seeded all his wheat land with it and
was well satisfied with the work it
did. 1t seems that a light gasoline
traction engine is much better for
all farm work than the large heavy
engines that have been sold by the
thresher companies and strongly rec
commended by them as being just
what the plains farmer needs to help
him handle his large acreage OF
grain. While they are a success in
some Ways, yet they seem to lack
something when it comes to freight
ing on the roads, or doing the work
about the farm. The light engine
seems to have in its makeup the
essentials that the heavy one lacks,
and from reports they have been a
practical success wherever used
