with becoming modesty towards it.
And so men go about performing
this or that community service. The
good, innately honest man carries no
trumpet and makes no flourish in
service. The vainglorious must in

circumstances.
It is legitimate to have pride
there is no excuse for vanity. When
we inwardly crave something we
sslfishly desire we are unworthy of
attaining it. Mere glory is bubble
that is easily pricked. Don't think
that you can selfishly crave thing
and be worthy of it. The world not
grudgingly but in heaping measure
distributes it's favor upon those who
stand abashed at ITS tribute. With
equal distain it abhors the man who
prates that he is entitled" to the

refined sense) as everybody supposed;
he wa an artist of no man qualities,
and was looked upon as an unfortu-
nate human who happened to be
Emperor through no fault of his
own, and who was making the best
of it. Yet the war has revealed the
Kaiser's cloven foot. He has been
shown to be petty of purse (Which
means stingy) yet possessed of one
of the largest estates and incomes in
the world. In many other ways, in
arrogance, in cruelty, in egism, in
personal vanity he has been shown
to the world in no enviable light. In
the greatest of all kingly virtues he
seems utterly lacking in humility.
So with those around US we meet
disappointing things when minor in
cidents reveal the inner sham be-
meath the outward veneer. But there
is the consolation left that we can
pity those who dissapoint US. And il

The TOUn Bully

Germany isn't whipped-yet. But she
is taking the same kind of a beating
she has been inf1icting upon the AL
lies this spring and summer, only in
a more aggravating form. Nothing
hurts the Town Bully so much as to
have his pride humbled by some un-
important chap he has threatened
and lowered over. It has done the
world lot of good to see America
step in at this moment and make the
German Town Bully kowtow and
cringe a little. In the present in
stance the Town Bully is plum sore
at himself and can't believe his own
eyes. It is not time yet to do much
strutting around. In fact, America
never struts. But we can quietly sit
by and await developments while the
Town Bully goes off and washes the
dirt off and tells his ma about it. If
he hasn't got the sound threshing
that was coming to him it wasn't be-
cause he didn't get his pants kicked
good and hard and an eye BACKED
Next time he tackles the Allies he nc
doubt will go off with an arm in a
sling and his front teeth out. That's
just about what Uncle Sam is pre-
pairing to do next.

"Lnerperience''

The Confirmation of the death of
young Quentin Roosevelt reveals and
emphasizes anew the ever-present
dangers in plotting airplanes. The
sudden end of Major John Purroy
Mitchell was no less an in
stance of what this lurking menace
means to even the most skilful
driver of an airp)ane. There have
been hundreds of others. Of course.
no one can say that young Roosevelt
was not entirely capable, but the
chances are that he was not strong
enough, nor experienced enough to
cope with an older and longer SER
weed antagonist. Youth is ever
over-confident, and no doubt the
young American thought himself
equal to any task. But he wasn't
Caught in an isolated position he fell
a victim to his own daring, and while
it does not lesson his bravery, it all
seems a useless sacrifice.
The thought that comes in connec-
ton with this more reeent tragedy
is the increasing care that should be
taken with every man to make sure
that he is wholly fit. The require
ments in airplaning are greater thar
in any other branch Of war service
and the risks are hundred-folc
more. Before man may steer ar
airplane he needs must be well-nigE
made over into steel, and be both
superman and perfect physically.

Blind Followers

It is hard to resist the lead of a
crowd. Man is the most unthinking
animal possessed of reason. With
mot of the brute creation having in
stinct and not reason, some of them
show greater wisdom than man. We
are all too prone to follow the rab-
BILE. The rabble was never possessed
of conscience or reason. The rabble
crucified Jesus and today it lynches
men and women without legal trial
on trumped up or imaginary charges.
Men catch the popular ear with the
false song of achievement which
never existed. We seldom look for
evidence in anything which looks
reasonable. This is why the wiley
art of the politician commits so many
depredatons upon the rights of the
people. He paints his pictures and
we admire them, only to find them
melting into disillusion ON the can
vas under the melting rays of pub
licity. The sham of politics always
uncovers itself. Men who lie .nd
promise and don't deliver invariably
meet defeat. rhe biggest hum-bug-
gerry today is in following the crowd
behind the self-glcrifying politician.
We invariably pay the fiddler when
VIE dance to his music.l

EXPECT INCREASE
 IN PRODUCTION OF
 MEAT DURING 1918

Washington, D. C., aJn. 22.-Possi- bilities of increased meat production in response to the Nations need are indicated in the monthly report on live stock at stockyards issued by the Bureau of Markets, United States De- pertinent of Agriculture.
 Shipments of live stock known as "stockers and feeders" from stock yards back to farms, showed increases in every case over the number han dled in 1916. Shipments of feeder hogs were four times greater than dur irg 1916, and the month of December, 1917, showed shipments seven times larger than for the same month in 1916. Shipments of feeder sheep in- creased about a million head, most of the increase being in western yards. although Buffalo showed a slight in- crease. These increases, it is pointed out, may forecast an increase in the number of animals to be prepared for market on farms during 1918.
