So Much News.
(New York Times. }

Never was there so much news in the world It is an increasing prob- lem. It is a problem first for the newspaper, to get all of the essential news in, and problem then for the reader, which of it to slight in order that he may have some time remain ing in which to perform his share of the days work. If there vere nothing else to do one could snend all of ones conscious time just read ing the news. The quantity of if that can be put into one issue of the New York Times is about 100, boo words That is equal to a full-grown book. For variety of interest. for color, for-all of the qualities that go into the creation of human interest no book could begin to match It.
 In one. issue this week the num- Der of things that one felt obliged to read in an attentive manner just to keep up with the world was enough to amaze even newspaper makers It included dramatic reorganization of the British ministry in the midst of war, call by Lord Kitchener for 30O,00O more volunteers, a great vic tory by the Teutonic allies over the Russians in Galcia. a discussion in Berlin of the American note to Ger many on the sinking of the Lusitania, Gernany's acceptance of war with Italy as. at Hast inevitable, a revo,u- ton in Portugal, a question as to whether the Pennsylvania. was chased by German subma rine, a review of the fleet in New York harbor by Pres ident Wilson, a prediction, Joy Alexan- der Graham Bell that in s.the future men at great distances would think together by means of wire coils around their heads, theatrical developments in the trial of a conspiracy charge brought by the Riggs National bank of Washington against the secretary of the treasury, and others, ard MT. Roosevelt in his very best manner de- nouncing Mr. Barnes in the celebrated libel case. Any one of these topics in ordinary times would be interest ing enough to lead the paper" with. When SO. much happens all at one time one thing competes with another for position, and what might cnce have been front page feature is lucky to get it's display on the last page.
 If you draw parallel between the mind and the daily newspaper you will see. The capacity of the mind to receive impressions may be in- creased by attention. but it is never theless limited. and when the num- Der of impressions presenting them selves greatly exceeds that limit the mind must pick and choose. It un- consciously adopts a new scale of values Everything Is relative. Im-

Back to the Soil.
(Troy Times.)

What might be construed as one of the interesting signs of the times' is the announcement from various cities that boys are beeking instruction in agriculture. Something of surprise was caused when, not long ago, big university in New York added an agri- cultural course to the curriculum. That was one of the first indications of a growing disposition on the part of the city youths to get back to the soil'' Evidently the inclination is de- veloping along other lines. There are other boys than those attending col
 ege who want to be agriculturists.. The New York Mail has been looking the matter up, and that newspaper says: .There are five hundred eager boys, most of them from this city, on
 the waiting list. They want to learn farming This statement Is made in connection with protest against

Says the Cy11ic.

The Cynic writing in the June American Magazine, says:
 Of course the word culture has more meanings than any other word in the world, the reason being that the only way for a man to define it is for him to describe himself .I saw a successful man today who declared that before the month is out he is going to get his hair cut if he has to take gas to do It. Which re- minded me that, generally speaking men whose hair is always neatly trimmed do not really amount to a lot.
 The young have an exaggerated Idea of the wisdom of the old, and the cid have an exaggerated idea of the ability of the young. Practically every man succeeds year in and year out, in keeping up the illusion that some edy else can furnish the brains which he himself lacks. Human beings admire each other much more than is dc served"

AUTOS IN BERLIN.

Town officers and citizens of Berlin are agitating the need of an officer to patrol the stretch of road on Berlin street to guard against the over-speed- ing of automobiles. The general opinion in that town is that someone i'll authority should guard the welfare of the road and it's users on Sunday in particular. Yesterday, between 4 and o'clock in the afternoon, 251 automobiles passed down the stretch past Woodruff's corner. It is esti- mated that about 2,5ou machines passed there during the day. It is also claimed that most of them were going at good rate of speed. M
 The people of Berlin are under the in pression that the state police should take the matter in charge, on Sundays at any rate. If the contentious of the observers regarding speed are true there should be some way of en- forcing slower rate through the settled district. Whether that would be the duty of the state police or the authorities of Berlin is a question. autoists are breaking srare rules but the territory in question is within a township and it seems as if it would be up to Berlin to enforce the law.

the proposed closing up of the School of Agriculture at Farmingdale, l.. l., which was founded by the state but has not yet been put in operation. The Mail asks: "Why board up the school?" and declares that such an in- stitution as is, proposed would be of ,, great value, particularly to those of the class mentioned, who, according to, The Mail, are boys who want to climb out of the city -rut of office work or factory life and wrest their living rom the soil.'' That is a sound arr
 gument. So much has been said about the congestion in iarge cities, the discouragements faced by those
 who seek to make their way to suc- cesse.in life, and the wholesome con-
 ditions that await the worker in the
 country that everything possible should be done to help the young men
 who are inclined to farming The
 drift has long been the other way
 The thought that seenis to spring,
 spontaneously in the breast of the average country boy' is how he can
 get to the city and make his fortune.' It is true that many have gone to the cities and have there won their way to wealth and honor. It is fact that the cities have been wonderfullv helped by the mental and physical vigor and the moral qualities which the "country boys" have taken with them. No one can deny that the cities owe great debts to the rural regions for the strength and vitality thus inn
 parted.
 Yet that is but one side of the pic.

 ures and misfits. Thousands have

pressions that would have been very interesting and welcome at one time are excluded from attention because others more interesting and import ant take their place. So the news papers, by adding two or four pages on a "big news night" and by cut ting everything down. can increase it's capacity for presenting news. but when it has increased it to the ut most and there is still more news than it can print, it begins to choose and to eliminate, and a new scale Of values Is created by necessity.
 The war will end. The pressure of living and thinking will abate. What then? That is an interesting qles- tion. Perhaps then for long time people will have sense of prcpor- ton that was lacking before, and will see casual events in new prospec- tive.

It is merely formality and should amount to no more at the present. If the predictions of the unbruised strategists should be over thrown and England and France should fall before their foe. then the invasion of Italy will mean further prolongation of the dark period now existing. = }..

Army Reserve Needed. (Wa Washinrtor Post

Before the European war is brought to an end it is predicted that Great Britain will be forced to adopt law that will involve some sort of com pulsory army service.
 In the civil war in the United States, resort had to be taken to a drafting system in order to fill up the ranks of the army, but the men thus recruited were untrained and there was con- siderable delay before they could oe put into the field.
 History shows that deiays at the beginning of a war are invariably costly. It has sometimes happened that a nation has been overwhelmed before it had chance to train the troops necessary for defense.
 Switzerland can hardly De described as a military country, and yer, in pro- portion to it's population, that nation has a larger and more efficient poten- tial army than any other country in the world. The entire male popula- tion is always prepared for war.
 It is extremely doubtful whether the United States vii ever adopt any thing approaching the Swiss system, but the nation eventually must take steps looking to the esra p11snsnent of Il guard in the various States might well be utilized as the nucleus of a fine reserve system, and if the term of en- Hstment in the regular army were shortened, thousands of young men | just out of school or college would be glad to enlist for six months or a year l If they then became part of the nat l ionaI reserve 1t would not be Ions ] before the United States would have l a. large potential army of trained an6

The present cabinet crisis in Eng land is final evidence that the Brit ish people are at last awake to the meaning of the German war, to the mening of the German idea and ideal. It means a stronger, sterner, more un- compromising spirit in the conduct of the war. It means final elimination of the men and the ideas which have ruled democracies everywhere for two decades.
