OF THE
SOUTH TEMPERATE ONE

1t will be interesting to call to
mind that the nations that have mado
advancement toward what civilized
man calls the higher ideals of the
race, have made their homes in the
temperate zone.
1t is true that the early nations as
we find them were along the Tigris,
the Euphrates and the Nile or along
the southern line of the north tenn
perate zone. 1t is further noticed
that, rs man spread out from that
center, only those nations that re-
NAMED in the temperate zone made
any particular advancement. Those
people that made their way into the
torrid zone or into the frigid zone
were never able to develop either
mentally or physically, owing to the
facilitating effects of the climatic
conditions.
The great nations of today are
found in the north temperate zone
The part Of the earth included in this
zone is more or less developed. In

ATHLETES AS STUDENTS.

The sport pages have recently car
ried stories on the ineligibility Of
athletes due to poor scholarship. 1t
has led to the thoughtless criticism
that athletes as a class are not good
students, that they attend school
merely for the pleasure of taking
part in sports and that usually their
grades are manipulated in such y
manner as to keep them on the eli
gihility list during the important
series of games.
There are grounds for the pub
lie reaching such a conclusion. When
an athlete fails in his examinations
the whole world knows it. A dozen
men not engaged in athletics might
fail ignominiously and no one would
ever hear Of 1t.

class are not poor students. Coaches

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. s.
German Ambassador Bernstorff left
a memorandum with Secretary of
State Lansing on the armed mer-
chairman question.
1t is understood the the memoran-
dun further explains the German
submarine campaign.
The memorandum said that the al
lies numerous violations of the in
ternational law, and especially those
Of England necessitated the new sub
marine campaign.
The note called special attention to
the fact that the English blockade
Kept neutral trade from the German
ports, 'and rendered German exports
impossible. and hampered trade be-
tween the neutral nations thru the
extending Of the contraband provis
ions, and the intercepting of the mail.
The memorandum further said that
the blockade intended to stop Ger
man intercourse with foreign coun-
tries and the travelling of German
civilians on the high seas, by the of
fensive arming of merchantmen.
The memorandum quoted American
notes to justify every statement am,
charge that the allies had violated the
international law. 1t reiterated the
Willingness of Germany to operate
her submarines under the old naval
rules OF warfare if England made
concessions regarding the armed
merchant ships and ceased to attempt
to starve German civilians
The note declared that as the sub
marine question had not been regu-
lated by international law, Germany
was violating no existing rule.

THE NOBLEST
OBJECT OF DESIRE

The noblest object of desire, tho
supreme to covet, is love. Love does
not always mean sickly sentimental
ity~4a4It means sInselfish1le. charity
generosity, good temper, good will
and the faculty of seeing everyone
right. 1t is love that prompts to do a
kind act for a neighbor; that draws
one into convalescent's room with
a handful of flowers; that is back OF
the friend who defends a friend
heroically. It is love that banishes
i'll will and gossip and forces each
and everyone to see the best, say the
best and act the best toward all Of
Gods creatures. Love is little bit
Of the God within us, pushed forth
thru visible form into manifestation
1t is love that makes us treat the
book agent with Kindness and consid-
eration-perhaps he doesn't enjoy be
ing book agent any more than we
would.

makes us love all little children and
that prompts us to be civil and kind
and prevents us from forgetting that
Central" who sits patiently Mt her

and to rise each day with higher
sense Of love.

FARMING THE
CHIEF INDUSTRY

Under the title, "The World and
the Farmer" j. Frank farrell, pub
licity agent for the Santa Fe rail
road, has compiled some observa-
tons prompted by the cry Back to
the Soil"
With the preface that if the pres
ent increase in urban population and
the corresponding decrease in rural
population continues, it won't be long
before the biggest problem in Aneri-
ca will be how to produce enough
food to keep the town mans soul
and body together, the statement is
made that students Of economics al
ready are giving the subject serious
consideration.
Census reports show a majority of
the rural communities in the United
States just manage to hold their own
in the matter of population, a few
lave made gains, while third of
tne country as a whole is showing a
substantial increase.
"The world looks to the farm for
its living" continues the publica-
ton.
No Farm
Bread Line.
The man who produces the things
the world must have to sustain life
will never have to worry about the
bread and butter question. Governor
Capper of Kansas stated great
truth when he said that agriculture
Semi-weekly herald. [volume] (Durango, Colo.) 1907-1917, 1916-03-09

was the one industry which will new
er have bread line.
Not only are the young people
flocking to the cities, but parents are
also going. Fortytwo per cent of the
farms of the United States are oper-
ated by tenants. In 1910 only 81 per
cent of the farms were in the hands
If tenants and 'n13s0 only 25 pee
cent we're tpe.ated. Not all of these
land owners who l..se tenants h.ve
moved to town, but certainly very
large number of them have The num-
Der of them is growing steadily.
MANY farmers realizing the lure
of luxury in the city and the dis
comforts attendant to isolated life
on the average farms, are making
plans to meet the situation. This has
aroused new interest in rural educa-
ton, community center organizations
home improvement work, etc.
Not So
Many Leaving.
"An investigation lately made in
Santa Fe railway territory shows in
thirty communities in six states in
which organized effort is being made
to check the drift of young people to
the cities, the number leaving the
farm in 1915 was 20 per cent less
than the number reported in 1914
The establishment of community
centers, with social advantages, as
well as greater opportunities for the
study of music, art, literature, etc
and for the better spiritual progress
is doing the work. The needs of the
young folks have been met in these
localities and the lure of the city is
not so strong.
another factor in the movement
is the policy of progressive farm
ers in taking their boys into part
nership with them-giving the young
men an incentive to stay at home
and buckle down to hard work in an
effort to make good and get ahead

name on the main entrance gate to

reads something like this, John Jones

prediction that there is no sentiment
in that home in favor of moving to
town.
Agriculture having been declared
by official ukase of the government
to be the most important industry In
the United States, the attitude of
public toward it has changed. Even
the comic papers have eliminated to
great extent the 'hayseed' joke

BE WHOLESOME.

Why on earth do SO many people
take such pleasure in telling of the
things and even people they dislike?
Why do not our friends take time to
consider that we must all be con-
structiye instead OF destructive! But
IN this queer old world oil ours very
n " stop - think oil that. There are
thousands who persist in telling the
world that for instance that meat
diet is injurious, that coffee kills, that
cucumbers poison, that mince pie
causes nightmare, that sitting in a
draught spells pneumonia, that GER
tain people depress them, telephones
annoy them, automobiles make them
nervous, children are an incumbrance
and SO on, all of which is mistake.
1t is always unwholesome to mem
ton dislikes in connection with foods
because it is destructive. The vege-
tartan has no right to descant on the
dangers of a meat diet unless he can
show that he is healthier and strong
er than the average meat eater, then
let well enough alone and praise the
vegetable diet, but do not make meat
poison to those who are not ready to
give it up by filling their minds with
the wrong thought about it.
If you dislike a person, why on
earth should you cast the information
broadcast by telling it? Who will be
made any happier or better by know
ing that you dislike certain indi-
vidual, certainly not that same indi-
vidual.
Progress is not accomplished by
suppressing evil, but by cultivating
good. And the good that is to be
cultivated is always within yourself.
No one has the right to try to make
other people better until that one is
ready to be made better. Speak con
structively of everybody and let their
shortcomings go unmentioned.
