Mir Editor: We have meatless and wheatless days. and as understand our greatest danger of shortage lies in wheat. meat, fats and sugar Why could we not have a sweetless day? We could use apples. bananas or some sort of fruit that does not require sugar.
 We use. (two of us) just in our breakfast coffee, 2 and Jumps of sugar. One cube is almost the equiv alent of a teaspoonful, so you can figure yourself what one sugarless day a week would mean at the end of a year. I believe Americans are sweet tempered enough anyhow to stand one sweetless day a week. Suppose we Alaskans set the example just to prove that we're sweet enough to do it and still keep our proverbial good nature.

STATISTICS ON BRAZIL

Brazil, almost as large as contin- ental United States, having an area of 3,292,000 square miles, a popula- tion of about 24.000,000 and stand ing army of 100000 including men
 subject to draft. The United States has an area of 3.616.4S4 square miles and a population of 102.616.309. If pressed, the United States could raise an army of thirty or forty million. provided she took every man who could serve in the field irrespective of age up to 55. Brazil imported $132.- 663,9S4 worth of goods last year and exported $41,2O2.37. The United States imported $2.1s7,Ss3,5o1 in goods last year and exported $4.33.3.- 685,865. Brazil's exports were most ly hides and wheat. while her imports were largely machinery. implements and household fixtures. While her army is a negligible quantity in the war on account of its lack of training and discipline. with capable officers she should become one of the leading powers on the western hemisphere.

MAKING A MAN OF THE BOY
sehooImastsr Has the Great Task in Hand, and on Him Depends the
 Final Important Outcome.

The sum Of all admonitions Is that the schoolboy must pay attention. That Is precisely what he is doing. writes S. M. Brothers. in the Atlantic. He Is paying attention to a variety of things that escape the adult mind As he wriggles on the bench in the school room he pays attention to all that is going on. He attends to what is going on out-of-dOOrs: he sees the weak points of his fellow pupils against whom he is planning punitive expedi- lions: and he is delightfully."- conscious of the idiosyncrasics of the teacher. Moreover, he Is . youthful artist and his sketches from life give acute joy to his contemporaries when they are furtfveiy passed around.
 But the schoOlmaster says sterniy: My boy. yOu must learn to pay atten- tion; that Is to say. you must not pay attention to sN many things. but you must pay attention to one thing. name ly the second declensiOn."
 Now the second declensiOn Is the least interesting thing in the room. hut unless he confines his attention to it he will never learu it. Education demands narrowing of attention in the interest of effirirncy.
 A man may. ny lint of application to a particular subject brcome a sue ccssful merchant or real estate man or chemist or OverSeer of the poor. Rut hr cannot he all these things at the S;lIne time. He must make his choice. Having in the presence of witnesses taken himself for better "r for wors". hr must. forsaking nil others. cleavr tn that alone.

The figure of Lincoln was modelled
by MerreH Gage, the gifted young
Topeka artist, VINO is both sculptor
ana painter. Mr.. Gage returned from
the east about two years ago, where
he had been studying under Gutson
Borglum, in New ork. He came
back enthusiastic over the hope that
America might have an art distinc-
lively ITS own, and not comprised of
copies of famous art works IN the old
world. In line with tins idea, he
worked out some pieces that repre-
sented American life. He was espe-
ciaily Interested in the history and
character of Abraham Lincoln, and
has given to his work a fine touch OF
understanding and sympathy.
The first STRINGS OF a desire for
some public work of art began to be
felt among club women some time
ago. ~ fund was started with which
to buy creditable piece of statuary.
When Mr.. Gage consented to make the
Lincoln monument at d price that
should just cover the expense, the
enthusiasm spread throughout the
town. Many ways were devised for
making money, and of great help was
the work of the school children, who
gave their own money and assisted in
the entertainments, fairs. etc, that
were arranged by the club women
Finally, with the help of an appro-
priatior from the state, the necessary
amount was raised. The next diff
Guilty was encountered in getting the
figure cast. Scarcity of material and
workers on account of the war, made
the outlook for the Lincoln monu-
ment a dark one. But at last a first
class eastern firm agreed to do the
work, and so the figure was cast in
bronze, and is ready for the last cere-
monies The base on which it is to
be set is laid.
