PATRIOTISM.

Among the great virtues of life the world gives the highest veneration to Patriotism. A man may have many faults. but if he has been loyal and courageous in his service to his coun- try many defects are overlooked.
 This is because patriotism is a gen. erous ideal and it blesses and bene- fits everyone. Wherever men have risked their lives in the service of the country, they have helped build civic institutions and place them on se- cure foundation. When they die their names live on monuments and in public records, where less generous lives leave no mark behind.
 There are some of us who in a time of peril think only of money-making. We are reconciled to war if we think we see a dollar in it. If it is going to hurt our business or our job, we squeal. Patriotism is not shown merely by the splendid sacrifices of those who enlist for military service It is also displayed by all who support the honor of our country, disregard ing the effect it may have on our pri- vate interests

da, with an incursion of fishes from equatorial waters, which will later ex- tend up the coast. If the white shark or 1nan-eater is to appear, it should be looked for further south at this season. It is very unlikely, however, that this rare species, whose habits so few naturalists have had the oppor- tunity to study, will be encountered, and those which are taken, be it with hook or harpoon, will be of a less formidable type, though some of the larger specimens may put up an in- teresting fight.
 Perhaps the most numerous species of shark about the Florida coast is the ground shark. The males of this variety are infrequently taken, as they are seldom found as near the shore as the females. and have a some what different distribution.
 The best lure for taking sharks is tarpon, and at this time of the year there should be no difficulty in se- curing an abundance of such shark bait near Florida. It is to be hoped that MT. Nichols, who has encircled the globe in sailing yachts and schooners and fished in most of the waters of the earth will be successful in securing a number of specimens of various species, from which he will be able to add to the scientific inf0r- nation concerning the habits of these monsters of the deep.

against the anti-hate propaganda in the schools, started by some of it's subjects about year and half ago, Dr. Hellwig, as is noted in the re- views of his book appearing in the London newspapers, is rather chary in his treatment of that phase of child criminality. The last six pages of his chapter on Causes" are de- voted to hate. He writes:
 ''The excessive excitement of the childish imagination by the events of the war, especially as they are de- picted in trashy literature, is one of the brutaliZing influences acting on our young people in war time. To inoculate the children with hate would breed just for revenge, and could only bear evil fruit''

By Opening 5000 Bank Accounts He Is Teaching
 Millions How To Save

In the April American Magazine Is an account of the novel scheme adop- ted by wealthy Californian to awak- en in boys a desire to save their money and to get ahead in the world. This scheme is being copied in other parts of the country and has had far reaching results.
 ! F. B. Sherwood, of Los Angeles, or Daddy Sherwood, as he is called by five thousand boys, believes that the best kind of a nest egg is a silver one, and so he has set five thousand silver dollars in banks where each boy can sit on his particular egg and hatch thrift from it.
 'The first batch of these eggs, or one dollar bank accounts, was de- posted in 1909, and this letter writ ten to five hundred boys:
 Dear Young Friend
 E You are one of five hundred boys I have selected in southern California for whom I am opening a bank ac- count. One dollar has been deposited to your credit in the Los Angeles Trust and Savings bank, corner Sixth and Spring streets. I have stipula- ted that it remain there for five years,
 
 for the reason that I want to add to it from time to time if you endeavor to do the same.
 You are living in land where mo- body is held down by caste-in country where poor boys from the farm go to the White House; where brakemen, and even section hands, become railway presidents; where the poorest boys become our merchant princes; where the factories and insti- tutions of every description are built up by boys with no opportunity ex- cept their own energy and integrity Trusting that you will decide to be one of the great men of the future, I remain
 F. B. SILVERWOOD'
 '"Three-fourths of the boys for whom accounts were opened fulfilled the requirements and added to the nest egg. Daddy Silverwood kept his promise and also put money in.
 "A little neswboy added $275 to his account the first year. Others have done almost as we'll. They are spur red on to save by letters which MT. Sherwood writes, encouraging them to work hard and better their condf tions."

LONDON. Jan. 16.-Welfare workers

to include threepenee worth OF meat, a

now unattainable luxuries. But the
housekeepers buy more beans and
cereals than they used to do, and as
always they buy great quantities of
bread.
Most of the families would feel the
pinch severely were it not for the fact
that the women are all at work And
welfare workers insist that the work

FIGHTING WHITE
PINE BLISTER RUST
Senator Wheeler Of Chittenden County
to Represent Vermont at Wash
ington Conference.
Especial to The Reformer.)
AI0NTDLI IT'D

MONIPELlER, Jan. 10.
In connection with the conference
which is held this week at Washington
to consider the best methods of pre-
venting the further spread of the white
pine blister rust disease, at which con-
ference the Vermont representative is
Senator Wheeler from Chittenden coun-
ty, it is of interest to note the method
OF the spread of this disease. and the
methods which have so far been sug-
gested for its eradication The follow
ing is quoted from an article in the
November number of American For
eStry:
''The most hopeful feature of the
situation IS due to the peculiar fact
that it is necessary for the blister rust
fungus to pass one stage of its life
on the leaves of currants and goose
berries. Since the disease cannot spread
if currant and gooseberrv bushes are
lacking, the destruction of currant and
gooseberry bushes of all kinds appears
to be a practicable means of control
ling the disease, if it is done before
the pines become infected.
Vigorous and immediate action is
necessary. If the disease can be
stamped out, 1t is much easier and
| less costly to do it now than it will
| be when it has a wider area of infec-
ton. Neither statenor government
authorities alone or together have the
| funds or facilities or the power "a
! fight this disease the way it should be
| fought. Individual owners of timbe,
| lands, farm lands. waste lands. owners
of gooseberry and currant bushes, and
the general public must be aroused tC
q realization Of the danger and the
damage threatened. Earnest public agi
tation in all the states where the dis
ease has appeared is needed. and need
