The statistics Of insanity show that
thu minds of men and women are often
made aberrant through the steady
drive of environment, in which the
simple life and the squirting city life
are equally at fault The figures show
the per capita Of insanity differs little
in city and country. Rural solitude and
the abnormal life of the city are alike
responsible for mental diseases. It is
as bad for man to be too much alone
as 1t Is for him to be surrounded by
perfervid life. The history of the race.
the inquiries of Investigators and the
judgment of specialists in the diseases
of mind and body tell US that the well
tempered life, void OF excuses. is the
plane upon which men and women best
endure in mental and bodily health;
temperance of thought and tenn
perance of action in an environment
in which the Individuals neither sub
merged by human society nor detached
from It.

CANNOT BE MADE TO ORDER
Man Who Knows Points Out That
Scientific Discoveries Are Not
Manufactured.

There is widespread but errone-
GUS belief in official circles, and among
wealthy philanthropists," writes Sir
Ray Lancaster in the London Dolly
Telegraph, ito the effect hat you can
hire scientific discoverer and then
say to him, Discover me this or Dis
cover me that (naming to him a pos
sible and greatly desired piece of new
knowledge), and that he will there
upon proceed right away to make the
discovery which you want. But
valuable and important scientific dis
covery cannot be produced directly in
response to orders given and money
expended.
You cannot manufacture scientific
discovery like soap. The great diff
Guilty, in the first place, is to catch
that rare and evasive creature-a
scientific discoverer-and when you
have found him you have to humor
him and let him do as he fancies
Then he will discover things, but
probably not the things which either
you or he wanted or expected"

first these men simply carried mes
sages. sometimes written and some
times, in most dangerous circum-
stances, merely by word of mouth,

by ring or token which represent

sage. Later these trusted messengers
began to receive the power to make
binding agreements and conduct ne
gotiations in behalf of their principals.

There also is an extra large flue In
this chimney for tine furnace smoke

The plan of the rooms provides for
living room, dining room and kitchen
and one bedroom. However, the wide
window seat in the living room makes
very comfortable sleeping quarters for
children or when there are three
grownups in the family.
The kitchen is made especially large
to make room for dining table when
there are extra men In for meals.
Farm houses are not comg<ete without

GOOD FOR EITHER

A coy cottage for either farm or
village is shown in the perspective and
detail drawings.
This design proves that farm cot
tage may be ornamental as well as
useful and 1t may contain most of the
so-called improvements. Pumping en-
gines are becoming so common on
farms that home waterworks simply
amount to supplying tank and the
necessary piping. together with a
small expenditure of money for a
kitchen sink and the necessary bath
room fixtures. AS small sum as $500
will pay for the whole outfit If the
cheaper kinds of enamel ware are Sc
lected. The water pipe and fittings
cost the same In any case, except that
higher prices are sometimes paid for
small quantities.
Kerosene and gasoline engines have
been so much improved that pumping
water for house and barn use on the
farm Is quite pleasant job. The cost
of house water tap is less than 1t
costs in the cities when figured ac-
cording to proper bookkeeping meth

charging six per cent interest on the
Investment and ten per cent for the de-
probation, but the plant is credited

DECIDE NEW METHOD
OF AWARDING HIGH IN"

At a meeting Of the High School
Athletic association Friday afternoon
a new system Of awarding monograms
and numerals was decided upon. Ac-
cOrding to the old method a student
was required 10 play in at least five
regular interschOlastic basketball or
baseball contests and at least three
OF these had TO be winning game. In
tract a student was required TO win a
place in a northern Indiana or state
meet
1t was felt that this method placed
20 great a premium upon the winnings
Of games and was neither conducive
TO good craftsmanship nor fair to the
athlete.
In the future basketball monograms
Will be awarded to anyone playing in
at least full half of five games.
Baseball monOgrams will be given to
a student playing in at least five in
nings Of each OF three games AL
though football has not been one of
the school sports for sometime, pro
vision was made for the possibility of
a team in the future. Anyone playing
will be awarded a monogram.
A tract monogram will be presented
20 any student winning a first place in
a triangular or dual meet, or to any
one winning a point in a northern In
diana or state meet.
1t was also decided to give a dis
tinctive letter for each branch of ath-
letics. A large block IN" will be
given for basketball. An M insert
ed in a diamond for baseball and old
English M for track and fancy let
