To run Into the presence of Influenza
unless the occasion requires help, is
not brave. 1t is stupid 1t lis inviting
the spread of the disease and doing no
good. Therefore, first of all, exCN pt in
cases OF necessity, keep away from
anybody who is known or suspected to
be sick with it,. Not death of all the
more than quarter million that have
occurred in the United States in the
last ten weeks from the influenza
would have occurred if those who have
died had been kept away from others
who suffered from it. To run within
the range of the influenza germs has
been eight times as fatal as going into
battle against the German army. That
is what the disease signifies, and why
it lis foolish to take any risks with it.
1t is just as dangerous yet as it has
been at any time, and wisdom VIII
avoid it just as carefully.
The persistence and the recurrence
Of the disease should say to everybody
that it has not gone away yet, and
that it is not likely to go imm ediately.
The only way to get rid of it in the
community and in the State is to keep
out of reach of it's contagion. This
precaution must be personal. matter,
for each one has to watch out for him
self. Yet he lis responsible to more
than himself, for if the disease is con-
tracted lit does not, unfortunately, con-
fine itself to the one victim but is
likely to be passed along by him Co
others. That is where the dangers
come from the foolhardy ones who
know no better than to fiirt with the
infection. A common duty is to keep
away from the influenza, and to be
careful to be sure that keeping away
means keeping away.

The continual recurrence of the in
huenza shows us that the only safe
course to pursue with this malady is
to reckon it as a to1erably permanent
fixture for some time. While it has
passed its climax probably it has not
disappeared, and it is seemingly not
going to disappear during the cold
weather that keeps people in the
house. The certain nature of fnflu-
enza may still have some doubt hang
ing over it, but enough is known to
take the ground that it is a disease
which is dangerous through crowds.
The specific poison Of it evidently is
passed from one to another by contact
in close quarters.
The difference between summer and
winter weather is that people in sum-
mer are outside more and buildings
are open so the air is not confined,
and the germs are more readily scat
tered. That being the case the safe
course in winter is to try to avoid
crowds, and to keep in ventilated
rooms or in the open air. There is a
certain foolish bravado which gives
utterance to denial of fear of the
epidemic. That is really more@than
foolish, for it is next thing to criminal

The department of agriculture makes
the announcement that there has been
enough farm help for the sowing and
planting of crops and that the real
labor test will come at harvest time.
1t is gratifying to have the assurance
from the department that farmers have
not been limited in planting because of
shortage of labor The task now before
us is to plan for an abundance of labor
for harvest The slac ker, whether idle
or engaged in useless occupations, must

Staten Two FRENCH KINGS
Both Louis XIV and XIV Ruled Over
Domain That included Great
Western Commonwealth.

There were but two French kings |
who ever ruled over Missouri. observes
the Kansas City Star. The first of |
these was Louis XIV, for whom La |
Sale took possession of the Missis-
sippi river and OF all the country
drained by its tributaries. La Sale
named the country Louisiana in honor
OF his king. For governmental pur-
poses the whole of Louisiana was Mt
tached to new France and Frontenac
became the first governor, ruling over
the largest domain ever under the
sway of one man on this continent.
France owned the central part of the
continent from the Gulf to the polar
seas. Thus Frontenac became the first
governor Of the region that is now
Missouri.
But 1t was in the reign of Louis XIV.
who succeeded Louis XIV, that Mis-
souri, received from France the first
vivifying touches Of civilization. I'm
der this reign the city of st. Louis was
| founded and was named, not in honor
of Louis XIV, who was no saint, but
in honor of Louis TX, who then had
been dead 500 years. and who was the
most sanity king France ever had.
New Orleans was founded, too, dur
Ing the reign Of Louis XIV. and wa.
named for the duke of Orleans, re
gent for the young king, who wa
crowned at five years old.

HERoIsM AND DUTY.
Doing Duty So Exceptional That It

This was said by life-saver who, at
the risk of his own life saved three chill
dren and their nurse from drowning at a
beach
1t was his duty to do it, and he did
it. There was nothing heroic about it in
his mind.
But history has given us different
estimate of heroism All heroism that
humanity has cared enough about to
make record of and remember has been
nothing more nor less than duty
Every man has 4M particular part 10
play in this worlds advancement The
men who have played their parts with
exceptional completeness are the worlds
heroes.
To do ones duty is to do enough to
merit the stamp of greatness Nobody
ever got that stamp justly by any other
method
Few of us really do our duty When
some man does do his duty, he becomes
| conspicuous He is an exceptional man
because he did his duty-that's all -
That is precisely the reason he ought to

AS AN INVESTMENT

1t is true of the majority of the
young people now securing their priced
college and high school diplomas. that
their education has meant sacrifice for
somebody. Even if school is support
ed by public funds, the majority of the
parents have had to struggle to keep
the children there, to provide them with
board and clothes and give them their
time free from work.
The schools provided out of public
funds do not give young person all
he needs in modern competition. Col
leges and technical schools employ the
ablest people in the profession. Their
brains and inspiration are a great boost
to ambitious young folks. But the high
er education is very costly. What re.
turn does the parent get for his saeri-
fee?
You get the satisfaction of making
contribution to the community. Yor
have sent out a person of more thar
average intelligence, equipment and dis
elimination. He will be able to rem
der superior civic service.
And you have made business invest
ment for your family. The statistics Of
colleges and technical schools show tina
their graduates are able to earn IA
more than the average of uneducatet
people. They are worth more, peopl
will pay higher price to get them. l
is poor policy to let young people go on
in the world uneducated, working 70
low pay. A few years of sacrifice woul
put them in a way to double or tripl
their earnings and open up possibilitie
of big success.
So community interest and ordinar
business sense both tell us to educat
, the children well. Will you find on

money it costa Not unless the youn
person wasted his time, which is not I'll
