CO-edueaiOn All Right In Lower
Grades.
These mothers agree that CO.
education is the finest thing in the
world in the lower grades, but that
in the high school 1t is a failure.
AS one OF them said TO me:
Girls are older than boys Of the
same age. And the high school
girl Of sixteen or seventeen Is Just
budding into a very self-conscious
young person. She has begun to
take a keen interest in clothes, she
wants to go TO parties. she wants
admiration and lastly, though
perhaps she is unconscious Of this,
she wants a victim on whom to try
the fifty-seyen varieties Of cute
ness that she has just acquired

ter prepared to receive her en-
chantment than the raw material
on the other side Of the classroom.
But there they are, poor infants
Of scout age, and still alternating
in the wholesome savagery that ma
ture supplies for the proper de-
velopment Of the male adolescent
They love athletics, they love
tramping, and to go OF into the
woods and play at being primitive

And nothing could be better for
a boy than all Of this cave bust

Germany is making ready for another peace campaign
George Bernhard, in the Berlin Vossiche Zeitung,
says: 1--WE SEE NOW CLEARLY DAILY THAT THE
WAR CANNOT BE ENDED BY MILITARY STROKE
BUT ONLY BY POLITICAL ACTION"
GERMANY cannot win by a military stroke, but THE
ALLIES CAN.
What is impossible to Hindenbug and Ludendorf
and the All Highest quite within the power Of Foch and
Haig and Petain and Pershing and Disz They KNOW
they going to win and they know it win be victory
Of arms and not Of politics
They know this because they know that It MUST be
victory that will carry with it lasting lesson that could
not be taught by any other means than the sword
Viscomt Grey who secretary Of foreign affairs In
the Asquh cabinet at the beginning Of the war; has stated
the situation plainly and precisely in pamphlet
which it will do every German good to read for it will
teach him what to expect.
VisCount Grey says:
Germany has to be convinced that force does pay,
that the ains and policy of her military rulers miet m
OIerabe and also unnecessary suffering upon her and that
when the world Is free from the Of these military
rulers with their sharp swords, shining and mailed

Why Not Make the Insects
Economic on Food?
Protecting the Lives of Birds and Destroying Cats Would
Do 1t and Save a BILLION DOLLARS
EVERY YEAR

Mr.. O. L. Marlat assistant chief Of the Bureau of En-
tomology the Department Of Agriculture gives facts on
the cost Of feeding our insects that ought to interest any
body with brain bigger than that of the smallest of those
inseCts
First, observe what the insects do
While told to economic in the use Of grain in
sects destroy millions upon millions in grain part of
their yearly diet.
It costs at least ONE BILLION DOLLARS year to
feed the insects And determined action by Government
with proper protection for birds would eliminate 80 per
cent Of all this destruction.
It costs the United States fifty million dollars yearly to
feed its grashppers sixty millions to feed the chnch bug
The Hessan fly costs forty millions yearly the cotton
bul weeV eight Millions the potato bug eight millions
the army worm eats up five millions dollars worth of cab
bage year.
The enemy Of the bug is the bird
The enemy Of the bird is the cat.
Are cats worth what they cost?

that all automobiles going down

more, he suggests that those
