law is Americas contribution to the
world. Just because of this the Unit
ed States has great part to play in
the protection and re-estabishment
Of world comfy. But America can
render the greatest service to the
peace Of the world by remaining her
own master, preserving her own in
dependence, and setting an example
before the world Of an orderly and
law-abiding people bearing good will
toward every nation upon earth. To
embody law and not force, as DR.. Hill
maintains, is the mission of America,
for true liberty can be maintained
only under Minneapolis Jour-
nal.

Inventor Of CorIiss Engine.

George Henry Corlfss, inventor of
the Corliss engine, was born in Eas-
ton, N. Y, 102 years ago. His first
device was machine for sewing boots
and shoes. After several other minor
inventions had been completed by
him, he settled in Providence, r. l., in
1914 and became head of a firm en-
gagged in the manufacture of steam en-
glnes. Here his talent began to show
full scope, and in 184S he completed
the original form of what has since
become famous the world over as the
Corliss engine. BY the invention Cor
liss revolutionized the use of station
ary engines throughout the world and
conferred a great and lasting boon
upon industry. Corliss, who became
Immensely wealthy, died in Providence
in 1883.

FURNISHES Joy FOR KIDDIEs
! Put to Eminently Practical Use
! In tho Summer.

In New York. Immediately south of
the arch which divides Washington
square, there is circle of concrete
walk. Inside that circle, like the wa
termelon riddle, there Is circle of
green grass, and inside that circle of
green grass there is small circular
pool of clear, sparkling water fed by
thin, geyserlike fountain. From
early morning until nine O'Clock at
night in summer you can hardly see
this pool for the ring Of noisy, ecstatic
children gathered about it, shutting
off it's view. For the Riddles of the
nearby East side have discovered
very practical use for the fountain.
They battle in it.
: On. hot day the little pool is full of
small, sun-burned boys, who are not
restrained by the lack Of bathing suits.
Some take the trouble to remove their
coats and outer trousers and leave
them on the edge, but others plunge
right in regardless Of dress. Their
mothers, who often accompany them,
do not seem to object. AS one re-
marked the other day, 1T saves the
wash" but whether she referred to her
sons clothes or to the boy himself was
not made clear.
Occasionally a policeman registers
a protest. He orders them out of the
pool and disperses the crowd of ad-
miring onlookers, but as soon as his
back is sufficiently distant they are all
at it again, having as much fun as
ever. Stimulated by the shouts of
their delighted audience, the young
swimmers perform the widest kind of
acrobatic stunts.

PUT UP FIGHT FOR BROOD
Old White Hen Proved Herself Worthy
OF the Best Traditions of the Z.
Barnyard.

We usually think Of ~ocS:erS as
proverbial fighters and of hens as de-
cidedly lacking in spirit. On occasion,
however, the hens can be as brave as
the bravest. once witnessed, writes
subscriber, an exhibition of courage
on the part of hen that deserves to
be recorded.
She was white topknot Of eccen-
trio disposition, which is one way of
saying that she preferred to select
her own nests. She chose the spare
room bed for that purpose, and had
accumulated four eggs before she was
discovered and ANONYMOUSLY shooed
out of the window. Highly indignant,
she disappeared under the barn,
whence she emerged several weeks
later with eleven chicks.
Beyond introducing the eleven into
the kitchen one day when the door had
inadvertently been left open, Madam
White displayed no more eccentricity
than any other hen. But one day there
arose mighty uproar in the back
yard. Such a cackling, squawking and
peeping surely portended dire calam-
ity. We rushed to the door just in
time to see hawk getting the sur
prise of his life. He had evidently
swooped down for one Of the chick
ems, and Madam White, with beak and
claws and wings, was giving him a
drubbing that threatened permanently
to disable him. -
Suddenly dark shape swept down
to the ground, there was piercing
peep, and Madam White turned to see
the hawks mate in the act of Selling
one of her brood. Quick as thought,
she flew to the rescue. Up into the
air went the hawk, and with it went
Madam White. The hawk tried its
best to shake her off, but the hen
hung on, fighting desperately, until the
hawk was forced to drop the chicken
and beat a retreat.
Madam White came to earth with a
thud and flop, gathered her flock
about her, and retired to the shelter
of the currant bushes, where she talk
ed about the occurrence in gutturals
for some time. Neither Of the cap
tured chickens sustained any serious
injury, and the old grenadier brought
the entire brood to maturity.-Youth's
Companion.

First Handkerchief,

Handkerchiefs were In use In Eng
land as early as the time Of Queen
Elizabeth. At first they were used only
by women and were not particularly
in favor in public places. Silk hand
kerchiefs embroidered and fringed silk
are mentioned in the chronicles of
that queens reign. In this country
they were not in favor for public use.
Abigail Adams in her Familiar Let
ters" says that ian order has been
given in this town that no person shall
be seen to wipe his face with a white
handkerchief in this town."-July 1875,
page 81. Their usefulness, however,
overcame prejudice and both sexes in
time found the handkerchief to be in.

FOUNTAIN PEN FRENCH IDEA
Jean Benoit MalIat Is Said to Have
Been the Inventor Of Handy
Writing Utenstl.

A fountain pen made in 1864 is still
in use in Paris. It was patented that
same year by Jean Benoit Mallat, an
engineer, and the firm that still car
ries on the business founded by him
asserts that this was the first foun-
tain pen ever made.
Mallat was the inventor Of the gold
pen with the ruby point, perhaps the
easiest writing and most durable nib
ever put on the market. But it is nee
essarily expensive. In 1843 Mallat
substituted iridium as a point for his
pens. At the same time he provided
a reservoir for the ink. This was
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1919-09-18

the germ from which grew the idea Of
storing Ink in the handle.
Mallat's fountain pen differs only
slightly from our modern ones. It
was self filling, but the flow OF ink
was regulated by a little. turn-screw
on the side. This, however, was soon
given up, as it became clogged.
It would be interesting to know
what was the date of the earliest pat
ent on fountain pen in America and
England.

Ancient Musical Instrument.

The organ is very ancient instru-

Ctesibius of Alexandria, barber of
the Egyptian city, in $50 B. G. It was
not until a thousand years later, how
ever, that they were first used in the
churches Of western Europe. One
chronicle asserts that Pope Vitalianus
installed an organ in church in

At the recent meeting Of the Ameri-

Jayne Hill suggested that every true

S:LAGE WILL BE QUERIED
IN AGRICULTURAL CENSUS

Among the features included IN
the approaching 1920 census Of agri-
culture will be series of questions
relating to the amount Of corn and
other, crops raised for silage purposes.
These statistics on silage, which are
to be collected by the Eureau OF the
Census ih accordance with the recon-
mendatiops made to that bureau and
to Congress by the United States De-
partnent> of Agriculture, are ex-
pectcd to furnish accurate and COM
prehcnsive figures on t:li9- important
phase Of farming which have hereto
fore been lacking. The facts and
figures gathered in the census on
this subject will Be tabulated, so as
to Show what each county as we'll as
what each State producedjn the way
of silage during the year 191SN
the inclusion in the farm scheduleN9
questions to show how many farmers
own tractors and automobiles and
how many have heating and Lighting
plants and telephones in their homes.
These questions are designed pri-
marily to make known the better
living conditions a11 modern i'm
provements on farms ir all sections
of the country. The Census Bureau,
in including these questions for the
1920 census, was guided by sugges-
tions from leading farm economists
as we'll as by communications from
farmers organizations. The Depart
ment of Agriculture is also interested

Gorsement to the plan.

AMERICAN FARMER ~
LEADING TIE WORLD

Washington, Dec.--The American
farmer leads the world in individual
production of crops, Secretary Hous-
ton of the department of agriculture,
asserted = h? aAc1al r"7>-". While
countries such as Belgium, under IN,
tensive farming, get a higher acreage
yield, he said, taking both acreage
and yield per acre into account, the
American agriculturist produces two
and a half times as much as his Bel
gian and German rivals, 2.3 times as
much as the British farmer, 3.2 times
as much as the French, and more
THAN six times as much as the Italian.
Inc result of this and of the Amerl-
can farmers war work is shown IN
the 1919 American crop production,
placed at three times greater in value
than the average annual output dur
ling the five year period preceding the
European war. The aggregate value
of all crops this year is placed at
S15,s73, 100000 as compared to $14,-
! 222, 100000 in 1918 and an average
of S5,S29, 100000 during the five
year period.
Live stock on farms this year was
figured at $3.50, 1000, ,OOc as against
$8,2S4, 100000 in 1918.
! The average yield for all crops for
the decade ending in 1918 is about 16
iper cent greater than for the aver
age for the decade ending with 1890,
the report said. The average rate of
increase for the past rs years is
about one-half of a per cent year.
Estimates in the report put the
1919 wheat production at 918,471,-
600 bushels and corn at 2,910,260,-
900 bushels. Cotton is expected to
reach 10,696,000 bales and tobacco
1,316,5s3,ooo pounds.
"The farmers of the nation in 1919
planted an acreage in leading cereals
greater by 33,OOO,O0O than the pre-
war average which, it is estimated,
will yield 635, 100000 more than the
prewar average" Mr.. Houston said of
the war work on the farms. "They
increased the numbers of mich cows
over 1914 by 2,7OO,O0O of other
cattle by S,5O0,000 of swine by 49,
100000 and of horses and mules by
100000 or total of 2S,9O0,oOO.
