tie loyalty of Champ Clark's son-in-
law that has injected him~into the
limelight with a ferocious disclaimer
O. the personal failings charged by
Ambassador Gerard against his more
or less distinguished father-in-law, it
would have been the part of prudence
on Mr.. Thompson's part to allow lhe
incident to blow over as soon as pos

simply keeps alive a painful situation

Mr.. Clark financially in his campaign

Most men are called TO do the
worlds common work. They are just
laborerS, skilled or unskilled. They
!are inclined, or almost compelled
such to remain. They feel little or no
impulse OF the higher ambition. They
lack the far-off look.
The need. however. Of American
youth Is the need OF doing their COM
mon work in uncommon ways. They
are liable TO be commenced with the
ordinary in achievement and charac
tier. They are fearful Of being differ
ient. Being different" may awaken
ridiculc or envy.
Let us confess that tho worlds
common work, like common-sense. Is
Of Il very high degree of Importance
Let us recognize the value of the
and strongly that the demand is not
so much for doing the worlds work
III common way, as it is for doing
thai work uncommonly well and eff
fectiyely. Progress is made through
betterment not through the dull and
familiar doing OF the daily duty.
The power OF doing ordinary work
in way far other than ordinary is 10
be increased, disciplined developed
The most effective method Of securing
such development lies in education.
For, education lifts ideals. II en-
largeS standards OF judgment. 1t diff
ferentiates between the good and the
better and the best. II shows what IS
the real superlatiTe.
Education also disciplines the power
of reasoning. II helps one TO analyze
TO assess Il fact at just value. to
relate truth 10 truth. to detect soph'
ism. 10 possess and 10 apply the sense
OF proportion.
Education further, as now con.
Quoted, trains executive skill It aids
one in doing. 1t helps one 10 adjust
himself to other men. such adjustment
being the most effective element in all
administration. II saves from can
righteousness.
In a word, education makes each
man more manful. He becomes less
Il thing, less slave 10 the tyranny
of the thing, and becomes more Il man,
less brute. more human. Such Il
character. able and disciplined in in

ness, robust in will without savageTy.

LIES ordinary things will do them in
an extraordinary way. To such a man
education converts LIES line into
lifeS square.
In the present crisis no men are
more thoroughly devoted IN their
loyalty. more truly patriotic in their
principles. more vigorous in their
enthusiasm for the nation. than the
college men. The experiences of
there pregnant days are the repeti.
tion of the experiences of the Civil, and
Of the Spanish-American war. The

SOME CONSERVATION
PROBLEMS.

Think over this one. Twenty
million households save one slic,
of bread per day. which has beer
wasting. Counting ten slices pei
loaf, two million loaves would bt
saved every day. that has beer
wasting. At ten cents per loaf
that means $20O,000.00 per day
or 73,000,000.00 saved in one
dollar bills. lay them end to end
and they would make a belt OF
dollar bills, clear round the earth
The bread thus saved would make
a 900 foot cube. that is. $50 feet
higher than the Woolworth build
ing in New York, and covering
four full blocks. All this. mind
you, by saving one slice Of bread
per day for each family. That
e-slice-per-f amily-per-day would
give an army Of four million men
half loaf each daily. Is food
conservation worth while.
Again. The average waste OF
probably one half of the families
in foodstuffs alone is no doubt
equal in value to one loaf of bread
each day. Indeed, in many FAM
lilies it is much more than that.
Ten million families. one loaf per
day each, 3.650,000,000 loaves in
a year. At ten cents per loaf it
would be worth 1866, 900, 100000.
This, too, by one half of the fam
lilies.
Try another one. Suppose the
men from the twenty million fam
lilies smoke enough to make an
average of one ten cent cigar for
each family each day. That is
q very small estimate. But it
means $4,000, 100000 for one day.
and no doubt cigarettes and smok-
ing tobacco used would average
at least as much more. This
means almost one and one-half
billion dollars annually burned
up foolishly. The truth is. how
ever that the smokers Of the lana
could curtail their indulgence this
without any inconvenience
worth speaking of. Some men
smoke a dozen cigars day on the
average. Such could get on nice
y with six, possibly mixing the

for 1917 is $1,000 or over, and

any tax to pay Collector Faunt-

subject to tax who doesn't make
