THE MAN WHO READS IS THE
 RYAN WHO LEADS.

The man who reads is the man who leads. It i s natural that t5hEiiEs-ssAotJFldG 5Esis sAEloc be- so. The anees- tor of every action is a thought, " says Emerson, and the richness or poverty of a mans reading usually determines the richness or poverty o f h s thinking. The man who doesn't read gets his thoughts only from Tom, Dick, Harry, and the others in a little narrow neighborhood right around him. The man who reads gets the thoughts of the foremost minds in his county, state, nation, and the world.
 A people are not educated if they only know how to read E; they must actually read. If one goes to school weeks and months, year after year learning how to read and then doesn't read, - if he is then too short-sighted to pay a few cents a week for good papers and books-he is like a man who spends days and weeks breaking piece of land, gettin g it in shape for planting, a n d then is too foolish or stingy to buy enough seed corn or cotton seed to plant it. Learning how to read prepares the mind, cul- tivates 1t, makes it a fertile seed bed, but then a man must fill it with seed-thoughts. Books and papers furnish the seed corn for the mind. When a man says he is too poor to pay two cents a week for a paper for inspiration, help, intellectual food, S e e d. thoughts for his whole family, ask him if he ought not to spend as much for brain food as he spends for tobacco.
 Make your neighborhood a reading neighborhood and you will make it a leading neighbor- hood. Join in a movement to teach all grown-up illiterates to read next year if you can, but in any case bestir yourself to get all who can read to read more. If they read papers that stand for progress they will eventually join with you in all the progress sive movements you are interest ed in.

AVIATOR PEG0UD IS KILLED
Famous Frenchman Was First to
LOOP the Loop"-Won Medal Of
Honor for Bravery In Air Battles.

Paris, Sept 1.-Adolphe Pegoud,
the famous "loop-the-loop" aviator,
was killed. All France is mourning
his loss.
Daredevil" Pegoud, so called be-
cause of his many hsir-raising ex-
PLOTS in aeroplanes, was the man Of
whom a member of the French gen
eral staff said recently, his value to
the French army is the equivalent of
a whole army corps"
Long before the war Pegoud was
acclaimed as the premier aviator of
the world. He was the first flyer to
execute the famous "loop-the-lOop. d"
At Brooklands. England, two years
ago, he amazed throngs of British
spectators not only by flying upside
down and sidewise, but diving 5000
feet in five seconds, finishing his per-
Torrance with a double loop-the-loop.
When the war started Pegoud i'm
mediately offered his services to
France and soon became a terror to
Germans on and behind the fighting
line. To sight an enemy aeroplane
was a signal for combat. Only last
March he was decorated with the mill
tary medal for valor.

took place had been reached and the
extent of the explosion known. OH

pocket by naked lamp was believed
to have been responsible.
