due to be augmented with a new
peace-time crop-a crop of revised
and renovated national anthems
not to mention the tunes and stanzas
which soon will be fiourishing in the
fertile field offered by the long list
of new nations. Some of these nae
tions never have had a national
anthem, except that thrust upon
them by the decree of an expressing

In Germany, Russia, Austria, Hun

at work by now evolving some stir

the place of national anthems which,
though they will doubtless remain as
songs. certainly have lost any power

War Boosted
Our Wealth
Americas Greatest Danger Now
Is Pnde, a Writer Says

Uncle Sam has become the worlds
greatest captain of industry. Here
are the figures, according to a writer
in Omaha News:
We have 6 per cent of the worlds
population.
We own z per CEN of the worlds
land.
But we produce 20 per cent of the
worlds copper.
We produce 66 per cen of the
worlds oil.
We raise 60 per cent of all cotton
laised.
We produce 33 per cent of the
worlds silver.
We dig 81 per cent of all coal used.
We mine 40 per CEN of iron ores
and 20 per cen of the worlds gold.
We manufacture 50 per cent Of all
mOtOrcarS manufactured, and operate
40 per cent Of the worlds railroads.
We grow % per cent of the worlds
wheat.
Before the war England was, on the
surface, the richest nation in the
world. At that time the United States
owed $4,000, 600, 900 to Europe.
Now Europe owes the United States
$1O,OOO,0OO,O 600.
In two years we shall have passed
England as a shipbuilder.
All we have to do to 60 to the wall
is to become a junker nation, with no
other than material ambitions. He
whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad.
But let's not do that. Let's be SEN
sible and decent and thankful that we
are so fortunately situated. And let's
try to make the best use of our com
bined wealth so that everybody will be
prosperous and educated and comfort
able and happy.

TO A FLOCK OF GEESE

Ye wild, free troopers of the skies
That ride in wedged ranks the blue
And unmarked roads of Paradise.
Who else but GOO had tutored you
That wind beset and tempest form,
To buffet 0 with mighty sledge,
Ye still sweep onward through the storm
With that u%nbroken wedge?
Thrill me again, We serried host,
With that shrill challenge which defies
The strength of whatsoever post
Is set to guard the bending skies
Against such anger as ye are
That dare with swift and rhythmic
wings
The night unlighted of a star
To guide Gods feathered things.
Ye are the joy OF being wild,
The sign and symbol Of a blest
Estate SO sweet and undefiled
1t breathes its spirit undistressed
Adown the heights to which have scared
Since Eden was our deepest sighs-
Thrill me again, We claimant horde,
With your INFRINGING cries.

Game Laws Summed Up
by the U. S. Government
for the Aid of Huntsmen

To aid trappers and hunters, the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has issued Farmers Bulletin 1922,
Laws Relating to Fur-Bearing Ami
mails" which is a summary Of legisla-
ton in the United States, Canada and
Newfoundland, relating to trapping,
open seasons, propagation and boun-
ties. Under the stimulus Of high prices
there is always danger that trappers
will deplete the trapping grounds and
permanently decrease the number of
fur animals, the federal specialists
say. Regulations and seasons should
be carefully observed, so that the fur
supply of the future shall not be en-
~dangered.
For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1913, the foreign trade of the United
States in raw and manufactured furs
reached the largest total in the his
tory of the country. While exports
were only S13.903,631, as compared
with So, 729, 100 for 1917, the imports
We're $3S,3S9,372 as compared with
$21 ,553.375 for 1877. The total foreign
trade in furs increased over 40 pee
cent.

Muscular Effort Is Cause
of NearSightedneSs, Notes
an Authority on Subject

1t is generally agreed that myOpia,
or nearSightedneSS, is an acquired de-
feet resulting from the elongatiOn of
the eyeball, but its causatlon has NOT
yet been determined, the evidence for
the assumption that near work pro-
duces near sight being unsatisfactory
DR.. Eldridge Green, writing in the Lon
don Lancet, advances the theory that
the primary and essential cause is an
obstruction of the outflow Of the
lymph. The obstruction may be pro-
duced by severe muscular effort, g. e.,
by lifting heavy weights, when a feel
ing Of tension is always felt in the
eyes, which appear, in extreme cases,
to be starting from the head. This
is more especially the cause of pro-
gressive myOpia among warehouse
boys, pOrterS and others whose work
involves excessive effort, while with
those engaged in %sedentary occupa-
tons the form Of exercise taken NAV
be responsible, e. e., wrestling, rowing.
digging, and also coughing. Thus
when signs Of commencing myopia ap-
pear anything likely to increase the
i~ntraOcular tension should be avoided.
There is no need to avoid reading.

Telescope in California
Is Largest in the World

Another largest thing of it's kind in
the world, the great telescope that
has been II years in the making, has
been set up at the top OF Mount Will
son in California. It's mirror required
a glass disk 100 inches in diameter,
ID inches thick and Az tons in weight,
The dome that protects it and the ma
chinery that enables it to follow the
stars demanded the building Of a new
road and the construction Of a spe-
cial kind of motOrtruck to get them
up the mountain. Although this latest
astronomical apparatus weighs 400
tons, it moves without vibration or
sound by finger pressure on a button.

astOnish, for instance, the ancient

chiefly by taking phOtographs.-ChriS-

Smallest Eird Is AmeI.di,
400 Species Of Fiummers;
Only in Western Hemisphere

The smallest and most brilliantly col
cred of all feathered creatures are the
humming birds, and of the 400 species
none is TO be found elsewhere than in
this western hemisphere. notes a writ
er in the Arkansas Gazette.
The largest Of these birds are no
more than eight and n half inches and
the mallest about two and three
eighthS in length. OF these the larg-
est are never seen far north and the
smallest rarely. The ruby-throated
hunming bird, called by Audubon IN
glittering fragment of the rainbow"
breeds from the far southern states
as far north as Labrador and winters
from southern Florida to Central
America, remaining with us from May
to october. It's length is about three
and one-quarter inches. The upper
plumage Is metallic green, the male
having a ruby red g0rget. a white col
lar on the throat and a deeply forked
tail of brOwnish violet. The female
is Of palmer colOrings. The eggs. new
or more than two. are white and about
as large aS peas.
1t is Il popular mistake that hum
ming birds feed only on the honey in
flowers. They really for the most part
feed IN insects, gathered with their
harbed and sticky tongues from flow
ers and leaves. They are, nOtwith-
standing their diminutive size, very
pugnacious and will attack birds much
larger than themselves, so that the
English sparrow, with all his Wanted
courage, dare not intrude on their
nests.
