THE NEW BOOKS
"Thp Adventure Beautiful.

Death is the Adventure Beautiful
says Lillian Whiting. in her book
bearing that title 1t is an event in
life, a change. 1t is not an end to
physical existence and a beginning of
spiritual life, but a transition from
physical form by spiritual life which
is continual. Life exists in forms
both visible and invisible. We do not
know the exact nature of either, but
We do know that we act almost entire
ly by suggestion, prompting, and in
fluences untraced to exact sources
and by feelings whose causes are in
explicabla.
Lillian Whiting is the author of
many locks dealing with life spiritual
and physical-"The World Beautiful"
after I - Death" From Dreamland
Sent" aid THE Spiritual Signifi-
gance." In her last, 1.-The Adventure
Beautiful" she takes up the lessons of
spiritualism, the scientific or practical
basis for the belief in eternal but
changing life. The possible nature Of
ethereal existence, psychical expert
ences. powers exercised by the body
after death-the ethereal body Much
is said of spiritualistic testimony and
of the unseen creative agencies. The
road to happiness, she says, is the
read TO the Savior. but happiness is
farther away and before it can be
reached "the in-dwelling spirit of
Christ must enter into the personal
life as its organizing force, as the
promoter and inspirer."

Yesterdays Late News

Curtailmert of coal to the less essen
tial industries in cities as means of
relieving the fuel famine will be be-
gun early this week.
Apportionment of coal will be left
largely to Federal Fuel Administra-
tors in the states in which supplies
are short. They will work under gen.
eral instructions from Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield to supply first house
holders and next industries producing
war materials. Many industries
whose products are not necessary for
waging the war probably will be re-
quired to shut down at least three
days a week until the fuel crisis is
over.
Doctor Garfield instructed P. B.
Noyes. head of the fuel administration
conservation division, to proceed from
New York of Boston to ascertain the
situation in New England.
Production of bituminous coal in
the first week of January returned al
most to the level of early December
before the severe weather began to
impede operations. The average daily
production was 1,S47,O 900 tons, accord
ing to the United States Geological
Survey. Production of beehive coke
amounted to $4,000 tons.

SUMNER THOUGHTS IN WINTER

IN take summer for mine"
Wow" Is it cold enough for yOu?'
81 believe | like summer better" All
these age-tried expressions help
make winter bearable. A few sum-
mer thoughts in winter, such as
come with sunfiowers blooming along
the fence, corn tassels waving in the
breeze, shade trees, lightning bugs
and watermelons are all necessary
to conversation and physical comfort.
But the person who continually
wishes for summer in winter should
be rescued from his distraction over
the finer arts" of summer heat and
reminded of the swarm of gnats that
bothered him while he was out try
ing to camp and of the nights he had
to sit up to keep from melting.
There are many summer thoughts
that do come with winters howl,
however, that help progress. There
is the garden, the lawn and the poul
try yard. Seed books can be most
intelligently studied by the fireplace
Few stop to realize how much prSc-
tical knowledge of summer work
comes from winter reading. Eff
ficiency in the garden or in the chick
en- pens comes with leisurely reading
of farm papers. articles from experts
or successful experimenters.
Poultry risers use winter evenings
20 read poultry books. Gardeners
make use of snowy times to read up
on gardening. Winter is the time to
get ready for summer just the same
as summer is the time to prepare for
winter The 'grasshopper" who
dances all winter will come up
missing" next. spring, but the one
who fortifes himself will "be on the
spot" when the soil loosens.
Watch the gardener next spring
who spent his winter months reading
and experimenting, and watch the one
who "loafed" on the corner The
first will do something different each
summer, something better. His pro-
duction will be larger. The other
will do just as he did before. If ais
onions failed last year planted b. the
fence where he throws ashes, they
will fail this year, for he will set
them out in the same place. Summer
thoughts in winter should be winter
thoughts for summer.

FOR COOPERATIVE DELIVERY
Dean MumfOrd Encourages System
for Every Town in State.

To reduce the cost of commodities
which is due in a large measure to
the high cost of delivery and other
services, F. B. Mumford, federal food
administrator for Missouri is encour-
aging the organization of cooperative
delivery systems in every town in the
state, and the. reduction of the number
of free deliveries to one day.
"In many towns, merchants make
five or six deliveries~a day, and this
is an enormous waste" said Mr..
Mumford. "By cooperative deliveries
every small grocer would not be
forced to maintain a delivery wagon.
Reducing the number of free deliver
les to one a day would be a big saw
ing, and we believe that those who
want more than one delivery Should
bear the cost. 1t is a great expense to
the grocer to make long deliveries
for several small purchases a day"
Retail grOcers in several Missouri
towns have started cooperative de-
livery systems. Chillicothe organized
such a system in 1916 which has
proved successful. Five deliveries a
day are made by the six wagons. In
accordance with the request of the
Missouri Food Administration, how
ever, the Chillicothe merchants are
now working on plan of one delivery
day.
George W. Bailey, county food ad-
ganized the dealers of Brookfield for
a cooperative system. Since this was
started nine men who were delivering
food commodities are now available
for otherswork

PEACE TERMS IN PLAIN WORDS

Peace terms coming from Germany
have been vague, offering many pos
sibilities of Interpretation. Once ac-
cepted, they would be kaiserly inter-
preted, at least by the Germans.
Wilson's peace terms cannot be
misunderstood; they mean only one
thing-the United States cannot agree
to any terms of peace that will not
mean Justice to all peoples and ma
tionalities and their right to live on
equal terms of liberty and safety with
one another, whether they be strong
or weak
President Wilson makes it plain
that for us this is not a war of con-
quest or war that can end only with
the destruction of Germany. We are
fighting a war of principle, a war of
disinterested purposes, in which all
free people are fighting for the vindi-
cation of right.
The President does not suggest
changes in Germany's institutions,
but says: I'VE wish Germany only to
accept a place of equality among the
peoples of the world in which we
now live, instead of a place of mas
terry"
Mr.. Wilson extends terms that have
the approval of the masses; members
Of Congress, members of the cabinet
and the fathers and mothers of boys
"over there" are ready to back him.
He has shown his hand and is justi-
fed in demanding that we know "for
whom Germany's spokesmen speak
when they speak to US, whether for
the Reichstag majority or for the
military party and the men whose
creed is imperial dominion"

HOW TO RENDER BEST SERVICE

From Ola Penn.
While the spirit or unrest has nat
urally gripped the entire university,
students and faculty alike, Pennsyl-
vania is trying to live its life as near
as possible without losing sight of the
fact that it is first of all an educa-
tional institution. We realize, Of
course, that the principal business of
every one today should be to win the
war. To that We have already con-
tributed our miximum strength in
men and science. And we will let
nothing interfere with that. Although
we have already given between 1,500
and 1000 of last years undergrad
yates to the war service, more are 60
ing every day, particularly those who
have not yet reached the draft age.
It has required steady hand to
keep the University to its tasks in all
the distractions of wartime. We can
look back with satisfaction upon the
fact that our authorities kept their
heads when in the first days of the
war so many institutions were aban-
doning their athletics and other valu-
able activities. Now there is a strong
temptation to curtail the academic
year in the various departments.
While some other institutions are do
ing this, the plan seems to us one of
doubtful advantage. We cannot con-
ceive of how we could give more of
our students than we have already
given. The Government has con-
urged upon our universities
the need of trained men to be ready
to fill up the gaps should the war
prove to be long one. To that end
it has ordered back from camp
drafted men in the medical. dental
and veterinary schools, and, in some
cases. in the engineering departments.
In no other way could the Govern
ment have placed greater emphasis
upon the need of serious application
to their work of all students who have
net yet been called to the colors. 1t is
our conception of our immediate duty
that while being responsive at all
times to the country's need for more
men, those who are still in college
should apply themselves with dill
gence to their studies. That is the
best service they can render

A CITY BEAUTIFUL IS
NOW AIM OF CORDOVA

Every effort is being made by the
new city council to keep the main
thoroughfares of the town clean. and
with that end in view receptacles
have been placed at a number of the
lamp posts to receive the waste paper
that now litters the streets. If a
little care will be taken to deposit
the same where it properly belongs it
will add greatly to the attractiveness
OF the town. All refuse matter that
accumulates is also carted away If
swept into pile in front of the build
ings. IT has also been suggested that
during this dry spell it would be a
good idea to get out a few lengths
of hose and sprinkle the streets,
thus laying the dust and making it
cooler and fresher about YOUR home
or place of business.

FROWN ON DISHONESTY

to disgorge about $3.50 with which
to square up his Cordova debts.
The Japanese of Cordova state that
the money Kawakubo tried to get
away with was of small considera
ton, but the reputation of the Japa-
nese as honest citizens was at stake
and they would not permit Kawakubo
to give their people bad name.

1nE ARmIsrlcE WAS A SURRENDER.

The arrnisticC terms are equivalent
to an unconditional surrender. That Is
what close observers expected them to
be and that is what Germany expected
when application for an armistice was
made. Military men have known for
months that the German army was
hopelessly defeated. The only unknown
equation was the number of days 1t
would require to reach the climax.
Germany gives up most Of her artil-
lery, machine guns, aeroplanes and
submarines and withdraws her army
thirty miles back Of the Rhine. She
interns her varships in neutral ports
while the allies keep their armies on
the firing line ready TO invade upon
forty EIGHT hours notice. Theoreuc-
ally the status is that of temporary
armistice for thirty days while perma-
nent peace is being negotiated and
each side is free to resume the fight
by giving two days notice after the
thirty days have expired.
Practically Germany has been COM
PEELED to give up all Of her effective
shooting irons while her victors stand
guard over her with their guns loaded
and pointed at her head. Under the
circumstances it may be presumed that
Germany will sign whatever peace
terms are offered from the peace coun-
| ell.
The German people have anticipated
all this and are now trying to put their
busted corporation thru bankruptcy in
the hope that stockholders may escape
demnity debts. The several states are
