There may be well-intentioned peo-
pie who say that virtue always leads
to success and vice to misery. But II
is On obvious and monstrous falsehood
in a world where we profit by the good
deeds of our parents and where mil
lions are suffering unutterable fortunes
because of the deeds Of foreign poten-
tates. That those who suffer must
have been wicked, and that those who
triumph must have been virtuous, Is
one of the most inhuman beliefs in his
tory. AS to the doctrine that the re-
ward Of virtue is to be found in a clear
conscience or high satisfactiOn-that
is an even more violent falsehood.
The people who suffer most from their
conscience are obviously the sensitive

of moral life is a feeling of satisfac-
ton or happiness Is not only contrary
to moral experience, but is intellectu-
ally sterile.-The New Republic.

TO CONTROL INSECT DISEASE
Gardeners Are Urged to Clean Up
Plots and Burn All Dead vegeta-

The United States department OF ag'
riculture has issued m appeal to gar
deners in the New England states to
clean up their plots and burn all the
dead vegetation as soon as possible
after killing frost this fall. Destruc-
ton by fire Of infested stock, stubble,
garden plants, and weeds after killing
frost is the only known method of COM
batting the European corn borer, a dan
gerous insect pest Of corn new to this
country, and which has been found liv.
Ing in corn fields Of eastern Massa-
chusetts.
IF strenuous methods are not made
to. check this insect, according to the
bureau of entomology Of the depart
ment, it will spread to the great field
corn producing regions Of the country,
do incalculable injury to the corn crop
and materially reduce the prosperity
as well a the food stocks Of the ma
hon.
The pest Is not definitely known to
occur outside of Massachusetts, but It
IL possible that It may be present In
the other New England states. The
insect 0;me from Europe, and Is e.
pecially INJURIOUS to corn In Austria
Hungary, where It has been known to
destroy ut least one-fourth Of the en-
tire crop in a single year. During tho

crop also improves the fertility of the
soil, because of the leguminous nature
of the plants. There are a number of
handpower end gasoline grinding mills
of standard make now on the market
which can be purchased ut from $40
to $50 each and will reduce soy beams
to q palatable meal form. A gasoline
engine to operate one Of these mills
will cost from $35 to $75 or more, de-
pendent on the make, size and quality.
Due to the relatively high oil con-
tent of soy beans, it is advisable to
grind a mixture Of three parts of corn
to one part of soy beans, as IL this
way practically balanced grai0 ra-
ton is supplied while difficulties due
to the cumming up of the mill are
avoided. Soy-bean meal contains from

smaller amounts of soy-bean meal on
account Of it's greater content Of pro-

of production, as during normal peri
DDS soy-bean meal sells at practically
the same prices as the best grades OF
cottonseed meal. With a more extern
sive production of the soy bean crop
the price Of the meal probably will
decline.

A single rat does far less harm in a
year than one of the larger mammals,
such as lion, tiger, or wolf; but the
large mammals Of prey are compare
lively few in number, while rats are
exceedingly abundant. North America
or any other continent has probably
as many ra+S as peOple-possibly' two
or three times as many. The destruc-
ton wrought by this vast horde of
rodents is far greater than that
wrought by lions, tigers, wolves and
Ill other noxious mammals together.
Injurious insects are enormously de-
structive to crops. Probably their
combined ravages inf1ict greater eco
nomic losses than do those of rats;
but no one kind Of insects destroys as
much. The harm done by any species
of insect is usually confined to certain
geographic limits, rarely extending
over large parts Of a continent; that
done by the rat extends over the whole
world. Oceans fail to limit it's &C.

The rats destructiveness is not con-
fined to crops and property; it men,
aces human life as well. This rodent
is responsible for more deaths among
human beings than all the wars Of
history. Not all the fatal epidemics
of the past were bubonic plague, but
enough Of them have been so identified
to show that almost every century of
the Christian era has had at least one
great pandemic of this scourge which
destroyed millions of the worlds pop

which killed more than half the in

city, was by no means the worst out

EDUCATION OF THE SOLDIER

John Ersklne, professor Of English
ut Columbia university, has been in
trusted by the Y. NJ. @. A. with the
task Of establishing IN educational
war project Of tremendous size and OF
far-reaching Importance to the United
States. The purpose Of this project
is primarily to offer opportunities OF
education to our soldiers during over
seas service in order that they may
return home even better citizens than
they were when they left. Many
thousands Of our soldiers will presum-
ably do overseas duty for some time,
no matter whether peace or war con-
dltions prevail in Europe.
The Y. NJ. G. A. sent Arson Phelps
Stokes abroad to make survey of the
educational need of American SOL
diers. The present plan was then
evolved to meet the conditions shown
by his report. The Y. M. @. A. will

FROM NEWSB0Y TO GOVERNOR

From newsboy of the lower East
side Of New York city to governor
elect Of the Empire state is the record
of the onward march on the political
road Of Alfred Il. Smith. And it has
taken him only As years to do it.
"The only genuine Tammany man
who can get the anti-Tammany vote"
That was the opinion expressed In
Democratic circles in New York when
the Saratoga convention unanimously
chose him as its candidate against
Governor Whitman. Apparently the
opinion was correct. He has always
been n Tammany man and owes 1t
everything he has had In the way OF
political preferment. And he beat
Whitman.
Mr.. Smith has been prominent In
Democratic politics in New York for
about Is years. He was "discOvered"
in the old Fourth ward by "Big Tom"
Foley. He entered politics in 1903,
when he was first elected to the as.

"HOw do you know when you're
hungry?" snapped that good lady.
"Why--why you feel it," exclaimed
her niece.
EXACTLY! You feel it, said Aunt
Martha significantly.
So after five minutes of serious con-
sideration the conscientious Avis
reached for the telephone and called
up Martin Garland.
"Oh, Mart" she began hurriedly, y
think I've changed my mind. 1 don't
think we'd better meet this afternoon
nor any afternoon-ever any more.

you know"
No" she said decisively, 1T isn't
right. And in all fairness toto both
of us it should be ended right here"
Garland's mind was quick on the
trigger, and he Immediately caught
the idea that the thing which he had
feared had come. There was some
one else. So long as there was no one
else he had hoped. But Garland was
ii good loser and uncOnsciously there
slipped into his voice a note of pleas
ant friendliness that was almost i'm
personal.
"Perhapst you are right, Avis" he
said.
But Avis Ransome arose from the
sphone with little uneasy feeling that
he. had accepted the situation little
too readily. Ten days passed and this
feeling grew into certainty, for she
had expected him to make some effort
to come back. But she hadn't heard
a word from him. Then some one told
her that he had gone to New York.
and all at once she felt like an aban-
.doned child. She missed him; she
missed him more than she would ad-
nit even to herself. And her aunt
watched her and smiled to herself.
"Serves her right" thought that lady
grimly to herself. "Serves her right"
Three months Of this went by. The
fourth month Jagged dreadfully, and
Avis Ransome was the most restless
young woman in Dayton. Then one day
came a letter from girl friend who
had married rich young broker In
New York-a jolly, devil-may-care,
nice broker, who had never pursued
chorus girls along the Great White
way-and had always loved his own
little wife from the very first time
he set eyes on her. And the letter in
cluded q press notice of Martin Gar
lands new play which was soon to be
produced, starring the well-known
Neala Travers-also the letter sug-
gested eagerly that Avis come to New
York for q visit. incidently they conld
sec Mart's new play-she and her
husband were great first-nighters. she
