The Dance Bug
What's the matter with this rasp-
berry, Alonzo, has he got a tooth
ache?
No, Mendel! This queer insect
you're gazing at is the dance bug.
He's Orbing the clock and heaving
signs.
During working hours, instead Of
splashing the red ink in the ledger
he's dead to the world thinking about
tonight. If he worked half as hard
at the Office as he does nights on the
waxed floor he'd have a job where
he could give anybody he wanted to
the grand razuzu.
Spends the day doping out new
steps and wondering if the white
flannel trousers under the mattress
will be pressed in good shape for to-
nights hopfest, or if the perspiration
is all dried out of the lavender or
Iemon-hued shirt from the night be-
fore.
He's on the floor before the fddIers
throw the rosin on the fiddle roGs
and when the 'Domicile, Sweet Do
micile" piece is ratified off, he does it
amid tears in 6-8 time.
Yes, Franz, Of course, the dance
bug goes to a dance alone.

WAR CHANGES LAND PoLICY.

The agricultural training of naimed soldiers is the subject of an article is- sued recently by the British Official Press Bureau, which says:
 When the fireat war broke out political England was engaged in a fierce controversy about land reform. Lloyd George had just started a n9w crusade which aimed at the abolition if not of landlordism itself, at least of the restrictions which enable many English landlords to keep the land and the people widely apart The outbreak of the war put the political controversy to sleep, but the exigen- cies of the war have revived the land problem in new guise and very quietly today in England a land rev. olution is in progress. The govern ment is buying land for ex-soldiers to till, and, further, it is undertaking to give men who want it a thorough Iy scientific training for their new work.
 "Various agricultural colleges in different parts of England are already filled up with farmers in the making all of them men who have done their bit in the war and have been invalided out of the army. It is to provide for those men that the Brit ish government, by stroke of the pen and with a word of anything but approval from the community, has shaped new policy in a matter con- corning which the politicians of Eng land have disputed, and done nothing

for generations.
 "The keenness of discharged sol tdiers to take to farming is a remark able outcome of war experience. Men hitherto engaged in city life predom- mate today in the agricultural col leges. It seems as though life in the ain-drenched trenches has giver, them a taste for the soil; that ex- posture to sun and wind, and rain, snow and frost has hardened them into a love of more open-air exis- tence than they formerly desired.
 Recently correspondent who wis ited the Cheshire Agricultural College Gin the heart of the richest cheese bearing farm land in England) found a group of maimed men lifting tur- nips. One of them was a waiter in a London hotel two years ago Now he has lost an arm, and he Is learning farming as preliminary to becoming an, agricultural surveyor Another of the turnip harvesters was a sub-editor. on the Paris edition ot an English newspaper when the war broke out. He. joined the artillery became an interpreter, was shell wounded, and while in hospital got malarial fever, which led to his dis charge.

HIGH COST OF Uuuu1AIUN F s--a. K ls5 tM M-00Oh AZON

X The way higher institutions of learning are pleading for money is all most staggering. From rich and hoary institutions in the older states, down to the, struggling little schools of the mountains and prairie, they're all doing It. Here comes the Univer- sity of Illinois as one instance with the need of $5,00O,0O0 more for buildings in the next ten years. Many others have equally ambitious pro- grams.
 The cost of higher education is tre- mendously increasing. Part or tnls Of course is legitimate. Building ma .terials are high and labor still high CT. There must be the most perfect of heating, plumbing. and ventilatlng systems Buildings must be archi- tecturally beautiful. and expensive architects must be employed. The class rooms must have chemical and scientific equipment enough to oper- ate a factory.
 The average sineducated man can't understand all this. It looks waste full to him. But there are plenty Of wealthy men who can we'll afford these fine buildings and they do add dignity to college life. They show a noble interest in education, and the money could be spent much worse. But the quality of instruction should never be sacrificed to get fine build tines. The most elaborate equipment is after all but. a minor issue. The education of the boy lies not in re- torts and chemicals and electrical
 machines, but Yin the inspiration that flows from mind to mind. One man with the gift of imparting enthusiasm is worth more than the finest marble ever laid,
 Also the colleges need to do more for the boy of small means. It is not an easy thing for boys to work their way through. It can be done and is done by thousands, but it is a severe strain, and some of them ruin their health by doing it. The best monu- ment to a giver is not some palace of a study hall, but a we'll invested fund whose yearly dividends help along some struggling but promising scholar.
