the only blades of grass of miles each
way were in one field at the edge of the
settlement. They represented more labor,
more care, more optimism to the square
inch than any other enterprise in the
whole state. A man-crank, to quote the
postmaster-was determined to prove
that Michigan sand could be magiced
into producing farm stUffs. By sowing
alternate crops Of barley and clover for
countless years and blowing each crop
under he had been able to get enough
green sprouts up at that season so that
they could easily be detected, from the

Where Is Automobile Most Popular

Twenty years ago the horseless car
rage was IN its earliest experimental
stages. Today there are more thaA tWo
and a half million motor cars In the
limited states-a car to every forty-ons
personsI In sixteen years the revenue
derived from automobile licenses alone
has grown from less than thousand
dollars to more than eighteen millions
in the year 1916, according 70 the Pop
ular Science Monthly. Ninety per cent
oF this amount was spent on road and
highway improvements. But perhaps the
most interesting facts in the automo-
bile industry relate TO the car-per-pop-
uIation figures. Iowa for instance, has
car to every fifteen persons while
New York, our richest State, has car
to every thirty-nine persons. In othef
words, Iowa, in proportion TO her pop
u alton. has twice as many cars as New
York, and twenty times az many as Ten
nessee.

FACING THE NEED

1t is not for the people of the United
States to decry the straits to which
the nation will be subjected by the
great world war and to look with
fear on the forecasts of the future.
They must force themselves into
greater endeavOr and spirit of
working optimism. They must face
bravely the needs of the country and
make the best of them
The future will be what the people
of the nation make it and nothing
more There is no reason why the
nation should be permitted to decline
internally or why its industry should
be slackened merely by entrance into
the war.
True, the crisis will demand greater
energy and greater endeavor, but
there should be no person unwilling
to offer this to the cause of the ma
tion. Unproductive pursuits must be
discontinued to permit the energy
utilized in them to be turned into the
more essential and productive chan
nels.
The people of the country must not
permit themselves to become discour-
aged. 1t is true that many workers
are answering the call to arms, but
the percentage is small compared
with the total working population OF
the nation.
There is no reason for anyone to
become alarmed and permit this
alarm to slow up their activities. 1t
is a time to remember the need of
service, sacrifice, and action.
1t is a time to face the need. smile.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

These intangible words-love, hap
piness, hope and liberty-may mean
little or much as they are read and
understood. Our Declaration of Inde-
pendence, quoted in newspapers and
magazines by willy-nilly editorial
writer's, is full of distractions that
have been troubling the brains OF
great thinkers since 1776.
We find at the very beginning OF
that great document the phrase 'pur-
suit of happiness" The terms hap
piness," "contentment" and "satisfac-
ton" are used by writer's today, in
terchangeably What did the fran
ers of the Declaration" mean by this
uncertain term? True to academic
training, the academic writer turns
to the pages of Webster and finds
nothing, much. The learned lexicOg-
rapher tells us that happiness is the
state of being contented with ones
lot" which is vaguely indefinite We
turn to the pages of history, to find
nothing. For abstract terms the alb
stract writer must be an authority
After skimming and skipping lightly
find our definition of happiness:

SAYS THE AMERICAN
FAMILY IS DYING OUT
Prof. c. c. Taylor Discusses
Feminism and the Family
at Y. NJ. G. A.
CAUSE is ECONOMIC
To Solve Problem Is to Keep
Women in Certain OC-
CupatiOnS.

The real background of feminism
and the family is economic, according
to Prof. c. c. Taylor. who spoke to an
audience of about 200 in the Y. NJ. C.
A. Auditorium last night on "Feminism
and the Family"
"The American family is not disin-
tegrating, it is dying out" Professor
Taylor said. "In 1850 the average size
of family was sc, in 1910 it was less
than As. The divorce rate i'm Amer
lea is one out of twelve, while in Eu-
ropean countries it is about one out
of thirty"
The question of the modern family
hinges on the woman movement and
is an economic question according to
Professor Taylor. There are really
only two problems to economies: the
problem of production and the prob
lem of consumption. The chief fac
tor in the situation is that the one
who controls the productive factor
will rule. Man is in control of this
factor and, as result, women do not
get credit for what they do.
There are two views taken of this
question. the speaker said. One is
that the status quo Of the family
should be maintained, that is, the
woman's place is in the home. The
other view. held by extreme feminists.
is that woman should compete with
man in all kinds of work Both views
are wrong; the first, because the ba-
sis of the old patriarchal family is
gone. 1t was broken up by the in
dustrial revolution. The result is
that man is unable to support his
family and therefore women and chill
dren must work or families must %
smaller. The second view is wrong.

Through Extension Division 1,25l
Women Become Interested.

Miss Carrie l.. PancOast, assistant
in the agricultural extension service,
returned this morning from st. JO-

ming demonstrations. Mrs. A. E.
Rush, president of the Home Eco
nOmics Club there, had divided the
city into groups under the auspices
of the Federated Women's Clubs of
st. Joseph. Two demonstrations a
day for six days were given and three
night meetings were held. More than
1850 women were enrolled for the
work
Due to interest aroused at previous

DR.. Raymond Weeks, of Columbia
University, formerly of Missouri, has
published an lode to France" (Ox-
ford University Press which was
written in France in the first months
of the year. 1t is charming tribute
to the heroism of the French republic,
full of dignity and spirit. From it
we quote:
What nations grander heroes know
Than thine who fell at ROncevaux?
Impetuous Roland dared his fate,
Nor wound his horn until too late.
Then through the Pyrenean fog
The wild horn spoke its mOnologue,
While mist-hung mountains heard as
founded
The saddest message ever sounded
Ii ceast. and then began again
Its wierd lament for dying men.

Before the startled bivouac,
And through the pass, with loosened
rein,
His white beard flowing in his train,
He led the furious army back:
They found young ROand's body lying
Face to the Spanish plain, where paynim
hosts were flying.
What heroes ever equalled thine
Who left their bones In Palestine,
Or sank beneath the Middle Sea.
Clad in their arms Of fieur- de-lis:
Where maddest waves have ceased their
talking,
Under the oceans endless rocking.
They sleeping dream. when shadows ply.
That fleets from France are sailing by.
t,OdfreyI and Baldwins, Lusignans.
Sail on in quest of SaracenS;
Among the orient hills and valleys
Shall they avenge the dead beside the
sunken galleyS,
Forever glorious shall remain
The image Of the good Lorraine
That Jeanne through whom the people
stood
once in her own white hardihood.
When she was sold
For foreign gold
When pitilesS English lances CLEANED.
When prayers were said, when rang her
knel,
The burning Of her body seemed
The burning of her soul as well.
