Venus, the brightest of all cannot be-
mistaken, for its light so far exceeds
that given out by the other planets or
stars that those who do not know it
ask what body it is. Often stories are
circulated that it is some artificial
light 1t shines in the west and can
be seen nthe twilight and for several
hours after the sun has set. The next
most brilliant object is the planet
Jupiter. This planet shines high up in
the sky. 1t is far larger plante than
Venus and is larger than all other
plantes put together, but it is further
away than Venus. Further east is the
less CONSPICUOUS planet Saturn, near
the sickle III the constellation Leo. Al
though less brilliant than the other
two, it is much more interesting OBJ
ject when seen with telescope by
reason 0 fthe wonderful rings which
surround it-Samuel G. Barton,
University of Pennsylvania, in The
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

These are restless times. The very
thing that built up the Social Demo-
cratic party in Germany, and spread
5 the dissatisfaction That row shows in
that country, has happened in this
: country lately, on small scale.
The kaiser ruled contented people,
living in their villages, pulling off
their caps and bowling low every time
they saw man with a black coat.
But he didn't leave the peasants
contented in their fields. He put them
in the army, put them in barracks,
had them well drilled and well kicked.
And by the time they had done their
four years service some older SOL
diers had made Socialists OF them.
Here we have put young men IN
: the army, sent them to France and
to Germany, moved them away from
quiet life. They are thinking, many
of them are dissatisfied. One typical
soldier letter reads: II don't want a.
: Job digging ditch for the govern
, ment. / want bungalow and an auto
: mobile"
Such wild expressions of ambition
disturb the prosperous. They should
not, for, as Henry Ford has shown,
a bungalow and an automobile are
by no means beyond the reach OF any
intelligent American willing to work
for what he gets.-Arthur Brisbane in
Wisconsin News.
