you say, the conductor will help you
out"
A young man sitting behind the
woman with friendly features and un-
friendly heart heard the girls appeal
and she rebuked. He arose from his
seat and touched the girl gently on
the shoulder.
"I will be very glad to get you a
ticket and anything else you need" he
said.
"Oh, thank you so much!" Kathe
rine replied, "but perhaps you doubt
me, too"
'Not a bit of it, 1 can understand
just how it happened and if you will
tell me the circumstances, will do all
1 can to help you regain your bag"
By this time Katherine had gone
back to her seat, followed by the
Young man and, with her permission,
he took the seat beside her. She eX-
planned her difficulties to him.
"Why, isn't that funny? the young
man remarked, when she had told him
her destination and the name of her
hostess. "Ruth is my sister and she
told me to keep my weather eye for

our house"
By the time the train had reached
Braintree, Ralph, with his CHEEKY
spirits, made Katherine feel that the
confusion of the travelling bags was
nothing but a huge joke. Help from
Ruth's wardrobe put her at her ease
until a trunk came from home.
About two months after this epi
sode Ralph Broadbent received the
following letter.
"Well, old fellow, it was harder t.

The Girl and
~ the Bag

The girl walked down the plat
form at the South Station. She
glanced confusedly at the many train
bulletins to find the track on which
her train left. At last she found the
one she was looking for-Braintree
and way stations, SAB p. M, AID now
it was nearly that time. She rushed
into the waiting room where she had
left her pigskin travelling bag on the
seat for a moment. 1t was there and
she hastily snatched it and hurried
back to the train and was soon aboard.
Katherine Fenton, the girl, settled
herself comfortably in the seat and
gave herself up to the pleasant
thoughts of the college chum she was
about to visit. Then suddenly she re-
membered that her purse was tucked
away in the bag by her side, and so
she leaned over and opened the bag.
An exclamation of surprise came to
her lips. Instead of the neatly ar
ranged contents of faces and ribbons
and toilet articles and other necessary
things that go to make girl look her
prettiest, she found a disarray of
mems collars, leather cases filled with
brushes and combs; white cord
dangled and twisted itself among a
confusion of handkerchiefs and meer-
schum pipes.
Katherine glanced outside of the big
bag, her soft blue eyes turning dark
with apprehension. The bag was an
exact duplicate of her own and some
how someone had changed his with
hers.
Katherine was far from home, with
no money and only the useless belong
ings of some man with her. She
clasped the bag shut and wondered
what she was going to do. The train
sped on and she felt that every NOM
ent the conductor would be around for
tickets.
Where was her bag and her purse
now? What was she to do without
them? There was nothing else to do;
she would have to try and borrow the
money from some passenger. Tears
of modification came to her eyes at
this thought.
She looked over the passengers in
front of her, trying to decide which
one she would approach. She knew
that there was little time left before
the conductor would appear.
A little farther down the aisle, OF
the other side of the car, she saw {
woman with a motherly face, snow
white hair and gentle, refined features
just the sort of a friendly being whom
one would ask for aid or advice
Katherine went over to her timidly.
"T-I've just lost my travelling bal

BARRETT RINGS TRUE

We have seen no clearer state
ment of the situation facing the
country today than that Of Charles
s. Barrett, president of the National
Farmers Union, who was one of the
farmers representatives in the Presi-
dents National Industrial Confer
ence which ended in failure. His
appeal to the farmers of the nation
to be prepared to aid our beloved
country in her present hour of need, ."
should find response in the heart of
every farmers leader and every
farmer in every state. Mr.. Barrett's
estimate of the present situation is
worth repeating:
THE Nation ic facing the most
dangerous situation since the Civil
war. Although reveling in plenty,
though business was never better,
though employment was never more
general, the country is sitting on
powder magazine, which threatens
at any moment TO explode, bringing
devastation and untold suffering in
it's train"
Indeed, it is the patriotic duty not
of the farmers alone, but of men of
all classes and of every trade and oc-
cupation, f"hey are patriotic. to "be
prepared to aid our beloved country
in her present hour of need. OBJ

LOVES GREATEST TEST

of fearlessness and faith to overcome

This is Harris part.
The girl, with an unsullied love in
her heart for everyone, goes to the

ton OF the consumers dollar is still
small and the alleged scarcity and
high price of raw materials cannot
be blamed for the price which con-
sumers pay for clothing,
The farmer is selling wool at
about so cents per pound, said Prof.
Filley, mems wool suits retail at
about SIS a pound. The wool sold
by the farmer shrinks about one
half in cleaning, so that probably
eight or 10 pounds are used in man
ufacturing the cloth from which the
ordinary suit weighing four or five
pounds is made. In other words,
the farmer probably receives So or
Sc out of the $50 or $40 that the
consumer pays for ready-tO-wear
suit.
The high price and scarcity OF
wool have been urged as underlying
causes for the high price of wool
clothing. There are N fact many
other causes of far greater import
ance. The farmer is receiving per-
haps 50 or SO more for the wool in
a suit than in pre-war years but the
retail price Of the suit has more than
doubled Wool is not scarce, as wool
reserves are large.
practically the same condition
exists in other goods 1t is true that
cotton is high, the southern planter
receiving at present about 80 cents
per pound. The number of yards of
percale or Bingham which may be
manufactured from a pound of cot
ton varies with the width and tex
ture of the cloth; but most house
wives will be surprised to learn how
little of this 32-cent cotton is used
in manufacturing yard of 5O-cent
bingham.
We are told that shoes are high
because leather is scarce and high in
price, and that leather is high be-
cause hides are high. The facts are
that the farmer is receiving about 80
cents a pound for country hides
and that packer hides sell for about
40 cents pound. Calfskin well
tanned is now selling at $1.15 to
$l.25 a pound Weigh your shoes,
but remember when you make your
computation that a considerable part
OF the leather entering into a shoe.
such as the heel and sole, is Of a
cheaper grade than the calfskin
quoted.
1t is true that the farmer is get
ting more for wool, cotton and hides
than in pre-war years; if he were
not, ii would be impossible for him
to continue business, because all his
expenses have increased. He is not
responsible, however. to any appreci-
able degree for the high retail price
OF clothing. His portion of the con-
sumer's dollar is small. His work
has been done efficiently and eco
nomically. If prices are too high,
1t is because of costs and profits
made after the raw material has left
the hands of the farmer"

MUST TEACH IN TERMS

How to Vitalize the Teaching of

session of the Kansas State Teach

worldwide war has taught us that
ideas and theories are without value
unless translated into action, into re-
suits, into accomplishments for hu-

taught in terms of their life's work.
Public sentiment is demanding that.

must assume the burden in perform
ing the worlds work, and fitness is
essential to do good work. There
must be less bookish work. In the
words of Theodore Roosevelt, There
must be more real wCrk.' words will
not pillow a field; words will not
build home; words will not de-
velop a great humanity, nor build a
great nation. Teaching in terms of
the lives of the people is the big idea
in education.
There is no longer any question
as to whether or not agriculture
shall be taught in the rural schools.
Sentiment demands it; in many
states the law requires it.
The word agriculture as used
in this article refers not only to the
subjects directly pertaining to farm
ing tut, also to anything pertaining
to the life and welfare of children
and the people of the community.
health, sanitation, home convent
ence, social conditions and commun-
ity interests. In fact, it includes
anything which enables us to teach
in terms of the lives of the people
and the needs of the community.
School work along these lines is
now. We are just now establishing
methods and precedents. What we
do within the next 10 years will
largely determine the future of the
work. Let us start right, for meth

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR

The peace of the world is being
jeopordized and the right of the ma
jority to rule this nation Is being
threatened.
Because the so members of the
United States senate who favor rati-
flying the peace treaty, either with
or withour reservations, have failed
to get together, the Is members who
oppose ratification on any terms
have been able to thwart the wishes
of an overwhelming majority of the
people.
These so senator's can and must
compromise their differences. They
must subordinate politics to patriot
ism. Both the advocates of uncon-
ditional ratification, and the advo-
Gates of ratification with reserva-
tons. must make concessions.
It required a league of nations,
including the United States, TO with
stand Germany's drive for world do
minion and restore peace on earth.
No league of nations, which does
not include the United States, can
enforce and maintain that peace.
A refusal by the United States to
join the league will be a death blow
to the hopes and aspirations of the
infant democracies which have been
established in Europe: reputation
of the lofty ideals for which this ma
ton has always stood; a selfish

world power. 1t will mean that in
stead of leading other peoples and
being followed by them as cloud
by day and a pillar of fire by night.
pointing the way to a higher and
better civilization, our beloved coun-
try will become a stumbling block in
the march of progress
Shall the opposition of | 5 senator's
and the stubbornness and political
prejudices of the other so be per-
mitted to block the wishes of 90 per
cent of the voters; to shatter the
hopes of the world and to wreck the
only comprehensive plan which has
been formulated to foster and main
tain peace?
When so men really favor a great
principle, but differ as to details,
they can find a way to adjust their
differences. The people should in
sist that they do this, that no more
time be wasted in debate. but that
every senator who favors ratifica-
ton of the treaty devote all his en-
ergies to reaching compromise.
The two senators from this state
have taken opposite sides on the
issue. Senator Jones favors ratifi
cation with reservations. Senator
PoindeXter is opposed to ratification
either with or without reservations.
Every voter who favors ratifying the
'A@"tS III oOIhG iOIu should at once
write to Senator Jones. urging him
10 use every possible effort to bring
about a compromise, even if he has
TO make concessions to accomplish it.
The people of the United States
are vastly more interested in the fu-
ture peace of the world than in the
outcome of the next presidential
election, and every senator. whether
republican or democrat. should be
advised in unmistakable terms of
this fact
The will of the people is superior
to the views of any senate or of the
president himself and the people
want the peace treaty ratified in
some form. They are not willing
that the tail should wag the dog.
