ty. To change it, as advocated by
some, would be to disregard these
splendid privileges, no matter how
pure theory some forms of gov
ernment, such aS Socialism, may be
based upon. History has taught us
that the administration of these is
not American in the fact that the
principles Of our constitution are
disregarded. The Bolsheviks of Rus
sia and the j. w. WIS of America
are one and the same thing-all dis
regarding rights of property, person.
al security and personal liberty. To
what lengths they have gone in Rus
sia in the disregard of personal Sc
curity and liberty is well known.
There is nothing American in this.
The American people do not need a
new form of government but rather
they do need to awake to the true
signs of the times, namely, the call
to service in the highest sense of
the word.

SET THEIR MINDS AT EASE
Cases Arc Numerous Where Wrong
doers, After Many Years, Make
Restitution to Show Regret.

The sting OF conscience Is not al
ways dulled by the lapse Of time.
There is no more bitter penalty than
to spend ones life with an accusing
conscience, no more unpleasant mem
ory than Of a wrong done. That Is
particularly true where II is in the
power OF the individual to repair the
wrong. TO show by restitution that re-
gret Is real.
Conscience money is frequently re-
ceIved by individuals and corporations
There may be times when payments
come from individuals who are mental
ly afflicted. but In many cases where
payments could be traced back they
were made to ease an accusing con-
science, 10 right a wrong OF years ago.
There are other individuals who do
not use mystery. but who come out In
the open and pay debts long since out
lawed. many times forgotten: There
are stories of these belated payments
frequently printed, the last one coming
from North Dakota. where man paid
a debt nearly thirty years old. He not
only paid the debt, but he paid interest
to date and cleaned the transaction up
as man ought to do.-0hio State

Mans Adams Apple.

Scientists are inclined to accept
the theory" says John Walker Har-
rlngton in Popular Science Monthly,
that man came by long descent from
Informed, spineless things that came
to life by chemical action, probably in
some tepid mineral spring, and found
their way to the ocean. Then came
the fish, which, as soon as they got
backbones, began to develop something
like Adams apples. A man without
an Adams apple would be a poor fish.
From the primitive forms of the an
clent seas are believed to have come
the mammals, from which spring the
human race. 1t is long story"

Llberian Hippos.

The Liberian hlppos do not live In
dense forests; they do not frequent
the rivers. A small forest stream sat
isfies them, but they do not enter 1t, at
least by day. They burrow into its
banks, wherever there has been a
washout, and in these burrows they
sleep during the daylight hours. So
II is very difficult to trace them. The
first specimen that was seen could not
be caught. because all the native car
rlers were sick, and the whole country
was so flooded by rains that Schom-
burgk, famous hunter, could not camp
therein. After trying various ways to
capture the shiny little beasts, Schom-
burgk succeeded by digging pits
whereby they We're entrapped on their

II there are fewer tigers In this part

SMALL POTATO YIELD
is DUE TO DISEASE

Disease and not run out seed stock
is at the root of the little potato
problem in Oregon. These diseases
may be carried in the seed, in the
ground or by insects. Leaf curl and
mosaic, both of which prevent the
the plant foods ordinarily manufac-
tured in the leaf from reaching the
tuber, are the worst forms OF the
trouble. Spindle sprout, tho not a
parasitic disease, likewise causes i'm

more or less preventible. The agri-

When Lawyers Strike.

Lawyers, as we'll as policemen, have
been known TO strike. Some years ago
the barristers practising In Sierra

Judge who was acting as substitute for
the chief justice while the latter was
on leave that they unanimously elected
to give up pleading before him. Legal
business In the colony was, therefore.

judges at st. Amand accused the local
lawyers of deliberately promoting dis
putes in order TO I'll their pockets with

court departed in body, declaring
that they would not return until this
Insulting statement had been with.

gized, and the lawyers resumed prac-
tice.

Good Players.

the morning on the vacant lot next
door. Often there were many argu-
ments but always they were settled
and the game progressed. At noon
mother reproached Tom for his part
In them. "What would you think If
mother would quarrel with her friends
as you do?" she asked.
"But You can't, cause you women
aren't good players" Tom explained
carefully. when you get mad over
something you just resign. A good
player quarrels 1t out and then goes
back to the game like we fellows did
this morning"
And the mother had no answer.

orialn Of the "EooIseap.n

The fact that the British govern
ment. on economy bent, has dIscon-
tlnued the use OF foolscap paper for
official correspondence. has called
forth a mild discussion as to the
origin Of the name. Most authorities
are agreed that it is due to The water
mark, fools cap. with which this size
of paper was adorned, but when II
comes TO the question of who first In
troduced II authorities differ. Some
say 1t comes from Germany, and point
to the fact that German paper, bear
ing foolscap watermark, and dating
from 14T9, was exhibited in 1877.
Others credit the claims of Sir John
Spielman, who had paper mills at
hartford toward the close Of the six
teenth century. And yet others lay II
all TO an order made by the rump
parliament which enjoined that the
royal arms In the watermark be re
moved from the official paper OF the
house, and "a fools cap and bells be
substituted"

Redoulns Resist Civilization

The Bedoun tribes of North Africa
are perhaps as impervious TO the in
iIuence of modern civilization as any
people in the world Since the French
took control of North Africa these wild
tribes have been, supposedly, under
military discipline and guardianship
but they have maintained their own
tribal organizations and almost com
plete independence, so far as their
actual lives are concerned.
They follow the traditions of Is
lam and their dwellings, their fur
nishings (Which are few and far be-
tween) and their clothing date back
to the days Of the Bible.
