The first service of this country in
this war is TO provide the allies with
money so that they may pay for their
food and supplies from this country.
our second duty is to provide our
own government with money that we
may build ships to transport these
supplies and to raise and equip an
army to replace. the wastage of the all
lied manhood in the trenches.
The obligation upon property to sup
port these issues is just as great as the
obligation upon our manhood to sacri-
flee itself IN battle.

Get Rich VS.. Get Rich Quick


Ii Is truism instilled in all of us
that vast fortunes have been made
from Investments in oil and mining.
We all know that many men have be-
come enormously wealthy because
they have discovered oil or gold or
some other precious mineral or metal,
We do not hope or merely imagine it,.
We know positively that it Is true,
because we know that the men with
the millions are living human beings,
not characters in a fairy story. Fur
thermore we know that there are tens
of thousands Of other people who,
while they have not made millions,
still have made great profit from in
restments in oil and mining stocks
We know that this also is positively
true and not flight of fancy.
1t is because of our definite knowl-
edge of these things that we ourselves
buy mining stocks and oil stocks
sometimes In the knowledge that we
are going to make great profit but
more often in the hope that we may
do so. Purchasers of oil stocks rep
resenting properties and operations in
Wyoming have during the past year
or so been fortunate in winning large
profit to an unusual degree. The pro-
motors of the companies and the man..
agement of the corporations have
been particularly sincere and indus
trious in their purpose to bring sue
cess to their enterprises. In other
words they have by every means In
their power helped their stockholders
and clients to get rich and, as nat
ural consequence, to get rich them

Real Get Rich Man.

Thefe is, however, a wide difference
between the operator who makes leg
itimate effort to enrich us--the indi-
Vidual we are here pleased to term
the real get rich man--and that other
fellow who does nothing but sell stock
and to whom the term of approbium
Is applied--the get-rich- quick pro-
moter.
In considering these facts we must
bear in mind that were there no get
rich quick stock buyers there would
very soon be no get-rich quick pro-
motors because they would have no
clientele to sell stock to and they
would quickly be reduced to CONNER

TEXT BOOK REFORM.

1t is gratifying to the State Journal
to note that rs efforts to bring about
a reform in the spelling and arith-
metic texts. in use in Kansas schools.
have received the endorsement of II.
B. Wilson, superintendent of the To-
peka public schools. Mr.. Wilson was
addressing the assembly at the Pitts
burg State Normal.
The series of spelling texts con-
tains $4,000 to $4,000 words, half of
which an adult audience of average
intelligence ard education could not
pronounce, Superintendent Wilson
said, and which the pupils will never
use after they leave school. Yet the
teachers work as hard making the
children learn Them as tho they were
killing snakes.
Two thousand letters from concerns
representing twelve lines of business
employed a vocabulary of only 1000
words, Mr. Wilson said.
Similarly useless work in arithmetic
is inflicted upon tn pupils, Mr.. Will
son asserted. The group of New York
business men given 4 test in the sew
enth grade arithmetic work in the
city schools ANONYMOUSLY failed. rs
per cent being the high grade made
by any of them. Twelve Chicago
business men in a school test in .geog-
raphy flunked. one making a grade
of twenty, all others zero flat. These
were successful business men, Mr.. Will
son said. and the unacceptable con
clusion from the tests was that the
schools are not giving the pupils the
things they will need after leaving
school.
He emphasized the need for ideas
rather than meaningless words and
forms. the use Of material facts and
skill that will be of practical use and
also fill some present need of the pu-
pills.
1t is hoped that Superintendent
Wilson will see his way to include the
grammars now in use, in his crusade.
They are a mass of useless rules and
definitions, meaningless to pupils and
of no possible use in learning our
language.

THE SINGING BIRD.

Child of the air, Nought else so free.
Save the wild wind which beareth thee.
All unconfined by llace time,
You ever seek the sunny cline.
From north to south. and back you rove,
The golden sun your treasure trove,
Just now your home is in my tree,
Taxes nor rent you pay to me-
Ny finest fruit you pick and eat,
And proffer nOught, you little cheat.
But bark, there bursts upon the ear,
An aria. ringing sweet and clear.
With vibrations, trflls as well,
No prima donna could excel.
The wonder is. so slight a throat.
Can utter forth so strong a note;
The vibrant air. it seems to thrill
And echoes far DER field and hill.
Sing on sing on to your content.
Gods minstrel thou, by heaven sent,
To show the shame of sordid strife
TO teach the wondrous JOY of life.

Reports received at the national

state organizers show that the women
of the country are eager to be trained

Practical war service is already be-

lines of work open to women are in

cities instruction can now be had in

Good Tastes versus Good Taste.

things
That remark was the preliminary
to giving an order for an expensive
piece of goods. Il know L ought to
buy something cheaper" she added,
after she had given the. order to
.scharge and send" and turned away
from the counter, but 1 couldn't bear
it. 1 sometimes wish 1 didn't have
good taste"
Poor lady, as if good taste were ever
a hardship TO any one.
l suspect she was making the mis-
take that a great many people make,
that of confusing good taste with ex-
penSive tastes
Good taste and expensive taste are
far from identical.
At the most, they are only distant
ly related, if at all. For good taste
is bred out of love of beauty by good

wife who perfectly illustrate the diff

having things lust so" and he likes
them that way and no other AS a
bachelor, he had an income which was
comforta BILE for one, and he spent it
almost wholly on that one. Result,
EXPENSIVE tastes. For instance, he will
not wear a pair of stockings that cost
less. than fifty cents, fact If which
he is very proud.
His wife, on the other hand, has
never had chance to have expensive
tastes, but she has the best of good
taste and she has accomplished mira
cles with it. Her home. with its rest
full wall paper. low lights. inexpensive
but well-chosen furniture, harmonious
landings and freedom from cluttering

what good taste can do with limited
