27s GERMAN KINGS JoBLESs.
A German Professor Figures Out the
Changes.

Berlin, April IS Correspondence Of the
Associated Press).--A German professor
figures out that the abdication and de-
thronements in Germany include 27s per-
sons. Bavaria leads with one king, one
queen, Is princes, l6 princesses, FIVE
dukes and one duchess. Prussia has sent
SO royalties into exile, including the EN-
peror, empress. 20 princes and II prin-
cesses Brunswick is at the bottom of
the list, with only the ducal couple and
their three children. The two tiny prin-
cipalities of Reuss, whose area is hardly
one three .hundredth part OF that Of Prus-
STA. excited 30 royalties.
The principality of Lippe, only about
twenty square miles larger than the
Reuss states, had royal family number
ing "A persons. Most extraordinary is
the case Of schaumburgh Lippe, with its
area of 1870 square miles, whore there
was nearly one royal parsonage for every
five square miles. These included the
reignng prince, II princes and seven
princesses.

NOT LUCK

A few days ago Leroy ]. Burlin-
game, Madison, formerly resident
Of Baraboo, was awarded Rhodes
scholarship. This honor was not the
result of luck but of hard work. His
receiving this distinction means that
he is tuned for serious things. Hard
work and pluck will accomplish much
knowledge will always be at prem
ium and determination to win will
carry one far toward the goal. The
young man awarded the prize did
not wait for favorable conditions; he
vent at the task of acquiring an edu-
cation as if it meant every thing to
him. Note the result, young men. II
YOU would accomplish marked results
work with determination to &C
complish the thing that is before you
and you will win.

Keep Out the Agitators

Miss Ruth Southland, 1920 Como

per clipping.
With only one dissenting voice the
House of Representatives has approx
ed the measure maintaining for an
other year the war restrictions on i'm
migration. The Senate has passed
the bill without a record vote. Under
the present system no alien can come
to this country without a passport
Endorsed by an American consular
officer, who must make sure that the
incomer has legitimate reason for COM

Congress, however, can do little

The chances are that there are laws
enough on the books now not only to
keep out the reds who want to get
IN. but to send back to Europe the
reds that have come in. The diffic-
ulty is to get the laws enforced. The
immigration act of 1917 sets up strong
barriers against those who want to
overthrow our institutions. But the
mere existance of the law will ac-

ATE POTATO FEELINGS

Miss Virginia Michause, grand
daughter of John o. Hocher Of the
Creamery Co. at Clinton who lived
there for two years and attended the
public school, but returned to Belgium
in 1912, has written to Mrs. Emma
Abel the following from Antwerp:
How glad we people were when
we heard the war was finished! But
the incest of all was when we saw
our dear allies coming. / cried as a
child when I saw the first soldiers
of ours. AT last after four years Of
suffering, our dear Yanks came and

even get pound a week? Butter was
81 a pound, rice $3.50, meat 81, barley

A MONUMENT OF CONTENT

To live life of service does not
necessarily mean that one must be a
philanthrOpist or missionary of right
living. There are men who fit into
small niche in the life of a community
and remain there throughout their
lives as a servant to the people, though
unnoticed and unhonored.
Such a man is Hendrick Iliohans,
who for more than forty years has
been pegging shoes in the same little
shop for the people of Holland, Mich.
Starting his eventful career as a
cobbler at II he has religiously stuck
to his chosen vocation for sixty-six
years. His life is a living monument
of steadfastness and contentment.
Few men have equaled such record
of continual service in one locality.
It proves that life of service to
others or of individual satisfaction to
oneself is not always the life of pub
lie notice or of wealth.
To many of us the thousands Of
solitary hours that old Hendrick
Iliohans has spent at the last, repair
ing shoes, would seem as hours of
gloom and lost opportunities. Yet to
him and his community they have
been hours of usefulness and efficient
service. It is a deal better to cobble
ones way through life than to drag
worthless body and brain through
a purposeless career.-Grand Rapids

A Fable

Once upon time a certain man
went forth and sowed his lands with
the seeds of wild oats, expecting there
by to raise fine crop of wheat for
the sustenance of himself and family.
But 10 and behold, when the harvest
came he found the crop had grown
true to seed his lands were infested
seed, and his lands, were in tested
with noxious growth which requir-
ed many years of arduous labor to
eradicate.
And it SO happened in later years
that foolish and shortsighted public
administration went forth and sowed
the land to the further most limits,
with the seeds of bolshevism, expect
ing crop of good therefore. The
harvest is now on and the misguided
sewers, like the sower of wild oats.
is finding the product true to the seed
sown, and the lands infested with a
noxious growth, that will require
many years of hard, patient toll to
exterminate,
Moral: The people must give over
their mad race for wealth and lux
uries, and buckle down to hard, pat
lent toll, or the land will never be
freed from bolshevistic tendencies.

WHAT OUR DADDIES ATE

In the centuries preceding the in
PRODUCTION of patent foods, and raw
food suggestions, mankind labored and
fought with high virility. Our pioneer
fathers did not think it necessary to
coddle their stomachs before taking
up the days work, and if one had told
them that two meals a day were =suf-
ficient, they would probably have ex-
pressed their contempt for such
theory by choice of language emphatic
It not elegant They were aware that
energy must be renewed, waste sup
piled with new tissue. They took to
solid substantials-fla sausage
jowls, liver and onions and other such
delicacies as were common to the
tastes and requirements of their day.
1t. may be true that we eat too much
and exercise too little. Judgment and
temperance in the one direction, with
common sense controlling in the other
constitute the wise formula. and no
professional faddist can add thereto
or take away therefrom, for it is the
whole story Cincinnati Enquirer.

HOW FAR DO WE WALK?

Nature intended that man should
walk-properly done, it is one of the
best of exercises. And most of us
walk more or less; though for some
OF us it is regrettably less.
After careful consideration Of
mankind's ambulations, including
young children and old people, and
the fact that nowadays we have the
inclination and the facilities to ride
more and walk less than our fore
fathers did, fair estimate of the
average distance walked during
twenty-four hours by the men, wom-
en- and children of continental United
States seems to be four miles.
Casting our figures in the direction
of enlargement rather than of reduc-
ton, the representative average
American propels himself over a
distance Of 120 miles a month, LAO
miles year, 100000 miles in the
three score and ten years allotted to
him in Holy Writ He travels at a
rate that would take him from New
York to San Francisco in a little

The Psychology of Recovery

To say that this nation is passing
through a crisis that will tax the in
genuity of it's leaders is but to utter
a common place word, found in many
of the magazines and editorials of
the great papers.
What is the cause? For many months
for this nation and some years
for other nations brought every en-
ergy to the task to make safe against
barbarism and unholy ambition the
great principles of civilization. Nations
forget themselves in their work. Self
hood was lost in the cause of the
world. Now with the cause for which
we fought won comes the finding self,
the assertion of self, the Psychology Of
Recovery. Just as one in sickness
is passive and perhaps patient in the
hands of the nurse, but when on the
road to recovery becomes fretful and
finds fault with the toast nor is sat
isfied with the careful watchesc. So
this nation, and the world, amid
strikes and race riots reveal the con-
dition which may be termed, in the as
sertions of its selfhood, The Psyche
logy of Recovery.
