This piece was written only a
year before the great Norwegian
poet died. Ibsen is said to have been
fully conscious of the fact that he
had only a tiny span left and to have
hasteiied, lest he be unable to finish
When We Dead Awaken"
A grim piece of writing, it pic
lures, with the usual Ibsen passion
for symbolism and mystic express
sion, the awakening of souls which
have, as they put it, failed to grasp
the true Significance of life. Pro
lessor Arnold Rubek, a sculptor,
meets the woman who inspired his
masterpiece. His wife, Maia, meets
a bear hunter. The drift of the
theme is sufficiently shown in the
closing scene, here reprinted:
professor Rubek and Irene appear
over the edge of the precipice at the
back. He has his plaid over his shoui-
ders and she has fur cloak thrown
loosely over her white dress and a
swansdown hood over her head.)

n N R. CONRAD, observes
~ Edward Moore in 1.-The
New Statesman" is in

New Statesman" is in
comparably the most sub
tie writer of his age. even his
silence is significant. and it is as
certain that his politics and his
philosophy are profound as that he
has told US nothing about them. He
has not, indeed, a philosophy at
all, like Mr.. Wells or Mr.. Shaw.
Is it because he is too skept;cal or
because he is too sure? That one
has to ask such question shows
how much lies behind his work"
And the writer goes on to say:
There are three qualities which
stand out in Mr.. Conrad's novels-the
love Of beauty the insight into the
mind. the sense of character. With
beauty, the mind and the moral con-
flict he is concerned almost exclusive
ly. The passions he has portrayed, it
is true, but he has portrayed them pre-
eminently in their effect upon the
mind and upon character
'ln short. he has studied them under
glass. and as Il psychologist and
moralist. The soul he has not tried
TO know at all The conflict in his
novels is not the spiritual, but the
moral, conflict. And this is what sep
arates him from Dostoievsky, whom.
as a psychologist, ne resembles SO
much
"Dostoievsky showed man in his re-
lation to God; Mr.. Conrad shows him
in his relation to men and to nature.
The former Is mystic. the latter
nationalist. The one knew human ma
sure, human and divine; the other is
interested in human nature simply as
human nature.

WILL SNIP MCRE HOGS
Farmers are Pleased and Another Shipment Will be Made iii
 Few Weeks.

County Agent Geo. M Johnston stat es that farmers and growers who had hogs in the first cooperative car were so we'll pleased with the results that others are expressing a desire that another car be shipped in a few weeks. In fact about half the number of hogs required for a second shipment has already been listed. MT. Johnston would state for the benefit of those who would like to have one or more hogs in the car that the shipment be made in three or four weeks, and that all such hogs should be put up and fed during that time so that they may be in as good condition as possible. He does not urge that your hogs be sold off too closely, but in many cases growers have hogs of a size that they do not care to carry over the summer
 having plenty of younger hogs for next fall Such hogs could be profit ably fed out now to good advantage.

"PEYTONVlLLE VS. OGDEN"

Peytonville, March 25.-Three weeks ago, Friday afternoon, Peytonville and Ogden played a game of basket ball at Peytonville. Ogden was victorius scoring IA to 12. Peytonville played with Ogden's rules and referee Ogden challenged Peytonviile to come down there and play them Saturday, March 18th. Peytonyille accepted the chal- lenge and was preparing for big game. On March 25th the Peytonville team received letter stating that they would not play us. The Peytonville team was very disappointed, over the news. The only reason we (the Pey- tonville team) can see for their re- fusal to play us, is that they are afraid of. being defeated, and we also think their referee is afraid for them. We cannot express our disappointment not only because We want to play ball but we like to be sociable.

hl.l DISCHARGED SOLD-
 IERs ENTITLED TO $50
All Discharged Men are Entitled tt the $6O Bonus Being Given by
 the Government.

A number of letters are being re- ceived by the Y M c. A. and the En- ployment bureau that indicate that the >$60 bonus that the government is giving to all discharged men is not clearly understood.
 Many are confusing this $60 with allotment compensation, while it is an entirely separate matter and is a gift from the government to enable the discharged men to have a little ready money during the period of changing from military to civil life.
 This gift was made possible under Section 1406 of the Revenue Act and was approved February "A, 1919. All men who are now being discharged are receiving their s6o, along with their discharge but those W ho4Were dis charged before February 24th are to make application to the Zone Finance Officer, Washington, D.
