 Unlike most organizations of the kind, the Teachers Association was formed not to secure better salaries or shorter work hours, but to inn prove the teaching efficiency of it's members. Unfortunately for the teacher, he has not given enough attention to the financial side of his profession But he has left these matters to the school boards, believing that better wages would come to better teachers. From q social. business and pro fessional viewpoint the association is of benefit to all teachers, espe- cia!ly the young teacher. From the improved teaching force of the county, and the wholesome sen timeat created in favor of the pub lie schools, resulting from the influ ence of the Greene County Teachers Association. it is of immense ben eft to the schools of the county.

WORTH OF A SIMPLE RULE
Value Demonstrated by Novels He.
roine Who Believed No Situation
Justified a Wrong Deed.

The heroine of a novel of more than
usual interest, by adhering persistent
~ to a maxim, saves several persons
from the consequences of their weak
ncsscs and brings them TO her own
point of view In a truly astonishing
way. The nub of her philosophy is
that II you do right, only good will
come Of 1t and she proceeds from
the first chapter to work practical
proof of 1t among circle Of people
bent on indulging their own wills and
whims rather than doing right
Some simple rule of conduct is a
convenience for everybody, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. 1t may
easily become a personal motto and
living up to it a fetish. That was the
case with the heroine of fiction; do
ing right was almost an obsession with
her, but for all that she was by no
means dull and the opposite of in
sipid. She believed no situation justi-
fled a wrong deed and none was so
bad that n good one couldn't improve
If, so she persisted in doing right when
everybody else In the book-save one,
Of course--seemed determined to do
wrong. But she proved the worth of
simple rule in governing daily con-
tact with people.

"Booze" First Meant drink"

The word "booze" came to us before
the fourteenth century, seemingly from
the Dutch, In the form "bous" or
"bouse." At that time, as noun or
verb, 1t meant merely "drink," and to
speak of Il gentleman as housing" his
wine was not libelous or even deroga-
tory, writes Robert Z. Utter In Har-
pers Magazine. Somehow it acquired
the added suggestion of excess and
bad company, and by the time of
Shakespeare we find it in glossaries Of
the argot of thieves and gypsies. The
process may be understood when we
think Of the sinister meaning we often
attach to the simple word drink"
which might conceiyably run the same
course If we misuse it often enough.

LEADS MILLION WOMEN IN WAR WORK
Mrs. H. H. Morgan, Member of Wisconsin State Council
of Defense, Is First Woman in Nation to
Receive Such Appointment.

Five days a week and any hour of
the day the woman who represents
more than one million women In Wis.
consin is to be found-always most
aceessible-at her orderly desk in the
Offices of the State Council Of De-
tense In the west wing Of Wiscon-
sins capitol.
Six days after war was declared the
state Of Wisconsin, which has pioneer
ed In innumerable Industrial and So
cial reforms, pioneered again, not
only in organizing q state defense
council before any other common
wealth, but in providing for a woman
member on that important board.
On April 10, 1917, the governor of
Wisconsin signed the bill which crea-
ted the Wisconsin Council of Defense,
which was to cooperate with the
Council of National Defense in the
mighty work of preparing this nation
to defend its liberties. On that coun-
Gil of IL members, representing every
phase of activity In the state, was
named but one woman whose business
1t is to look after and guard the in
terests of the 1,125,000 women In
Wisconsin.
On April 16, Mrs. H. H. Morgan of
Madison was appointed by Governor
Philip a member Of the Council. I'm

Anton Tchekon, Russian writer of
short stories, gives the following pic
tlre OF the Russian peasant:
What does a peasants life consist
OF? Eating and drinking, crying for
cheaper food, bawling in tayerns with
out decent conversation or behavior or
manners. He lives in filth,
has wife and children live in filth; he
sleeps in his Clothes; takes his potatoes
out Of the soup with his fingers, drinks
down a black beetle with his kvass-
because he won't trouble TO take il
out
ut is because Of their poverty"
protests my sister.
What poverty OF course, there is
want, but there are different kinds Of
necessity. II a man is in prison, or is
blind, say, or has lost his legs then he
is in a bad way, and God help him; but
II he is at liberty and in command Of his
senses, II he has eyes and strength,
then, good God, what more does he
want, You say-poverGy.
But does rich peasant live any bet
teri Look az Larion OF Du-
bechnia-he Is rich, but all the same
he banks the trees in your woods Just
like the poor; and he is a foul-mouthed
brute, and his children are foul mouth
ed, and when be Is drunk he falls hat
in thd mud and goes 10 sleep
A very different type, from either
the American Of the colonies at the
time OF the Revolution or the French
peasant when the French Republic
was established. A very different
man from the peon Of Mexico and 9th
or Latin-American countries. But az
ter all, says TchekoiI-writing before
the revolution 10 Russia and not writ
ing OF revolution or Of politlcs-there
is nothing the matter with the peasant
at the core. His faults are merely
"the stain upon the glass" The in.
telligentsia Of the towns are worse
IL looks as II the uplfters Of the
world will have plenty TO do in Russia
after the war, even assuming that when
the war is over Russia will be out OF it
with undiminished territory and stable
government, but possibly the mood Of
a writer Of fiction and the license which
literature allows itself when dealing
with matters Of fact eEagPerate the
faults Of the Russian Of real life.

The Price of Freedom.

These are the times that try mems
souls. The summer soldier and the
sunshine patriot, will, in this crisis,
shrink from the service of their coun-
try, but he that stands 1t now deserves
the love and thanks of man and wom-
an. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily
conquered; yet We have this consola-
ton with us, that the harder the con-
flict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we obtain too cheaply, we es-
teen too lightly; 1t is dearness only
that gives everything its value. Heaven
knows how to put proper price upon
its goods; and it would be strange in
deed If so celestial an article as free
dom should not be highly rated.-Tom
Paine's Crisis.

What Keeps us Warm?

We nre accustomed to think that
the sun warns the mir, but II doesn't
to any great eXtcnt-at all events, not
directly. The suns rays, as they pass
through millions Of miles of empty
space on their Journey toward the
earth, have no warmth. They are
mere vibrations Of the ether. When
they get here, they warm the air only
very slightly in passing through It,
Bat when they strike the surface Of
the earth, their energy is transformed
into heat by which the ground is
warmed Air Is warmed by contact
with the warm ground; and the warm
ing Of the lower air gives rise TO air
currents that distribute the heat
through the atmosphere.

The reported collapse Of Korniloti S
counter.revolution against the Keren'
sky government is the best news that
has come out of Russia in many months.
II it means an end to the factional dis
turbances that have paralyzed the pro
visional government almost since the
overthrow Of the Car, we may look
for a stiffening Of discipline in the army
and stronger government in every
way. That-wth the moral and finan-
cial support of the United States and
other allies-ought TO put Russia on
her feet once more and make her an
effective force in this var.
1t looked a few days ago as though
we would have to face the loss OF
Russia as any sort Of factor in the allies
trength. Her collapse or embodiment n
civil war would have revived the hopes
of the Central Powers andstrengthened
their lines on the western front by the
withdrawal Of troops from the eastern
thester OF war II would have meant
the lengthening Of the war and an in
crease Of the cost in blood and treasure.
But it would not change the inevitable
outcome. 1t would not bring success
to German arms. 1t would not cause
the allied nations to falter in their
fight for the worlds freedom. 1t would
but strengthen their determination
and spur them to greater sacrifices
We are grad that the latest turn OF
the Russian kaleidoscope gives hope
that gloomy fears of Russia's future
may soon be banished, but while re.
joicing in the favorable turn Of affairs
it will be wise TO await further deyel.
ment's before committing ourselves to
absolute confidence in wise and last
ing settlement Of the difficulties which
have beset the path OF the new repub-
lie.
