of low living and inferior producing ability, usually cultivating the less satisfactory land, they not infrequent- ly find themselves in the hands of g more or less exacting landlord or merchant. We must do for this class, xealously what we are striving to do for the whole farming population, Their problems can be reached through better farming methods, bet ter health arrangements, better schools, better marketing conditions. The immediate need is to enlist the intelligent, sympathetic aid of the business man, and especially the banker.
 A movement in the south during the past two years that is of signifi- canoe, is the campaign of education for diversified farming, supported and fostered by Commercial Organi- cations, especially in Arkansas. For a great many years, that section has devoted itself almost exclusively to the raising of cotton. As result of this practice, in Alabama during the year 1914, the people sent to the other states for food-stuffs $6,000,OO0 more than the total value of the states cotton crop This money pur- chased corn, oats, wheat, potatoes and other food stuffs, despite the fact that it had been demonstrated that these crops could be grown abundantly in Alabama and the other states of the south. The ravages of the boll-weevil which began about ten years ago, and gradually swept over the cotton growing states, brought farmers to the realization that they must turn their attention to other crops, or face bankruptcy or starva- ton. Commercial bodies through Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, and notably at Little Rock Arkansas, and other large points IT

Static Disturbances Might
Be Far-0ff BrotherIy Hands
Knocking at Our Very Door

In Bunyan's "PIlgrim's Progress"
there is man who ran with MS
fingers in his ears. shouting at the top
OF his voice, that he might not hear.
In developing the possibilities OF ter
restrial communication 1t Is OF con-
summate importance that we shall
find way to put our fingers IN our
ears and shut out the e.Straneous
noises of the "statics," Buckner Speed
writes in Harper's.
1t Is a cheap fancy and Improbable
science to muse about "high and Tar
off things" before we are ready for
them. We 60 on doing the thing next
to us, doing 1t well, conquering the
obstacles that 1t Is profitable to con-
auer, and we do well in doing so; but
little by little in doing so We are un-
questionably reaching and feeling our
way toward the ability On our own
part to be cognizant Of voices en-
anating from spheres other than our
own: and IL there are beings OF like
or greater intelligence than ours else
where, we shall In time certainly be
In communication with them. II may
be even now that some Of these static
disturbances which we try so hard to
shut out are far-off brotherly hands
knocking at the door that we now hold
fast closed.

Sustained Nervous Energy
Always Demands an Outlet

II has been discovered that cases
Of people who have been exposed to
the fear Of being torpedoed are suf-
fering from symptoms suggestive of
shell shock. Doctor Clunet. IN q COM
munication to the Neurological society
Of Paris, has described the mental
effects observed when on board ship
which was torpedoed. After the first
excitement following the attack 1t was
observed that several passengers dis
charged guns into the air or into the
sea. In other words. the sustained
nervous energy found relief in letting
loose the immense energy concentrated
In explosives. Similarly. 1t was well
known at the front that a long day Of
waiting In the trenches was productive
Of more cases Of shell shock than a
day Of active engagement with the en-
emy. Next there were a few cases Of
suicide among the passengers. These
passengers were on the whole calm
enough, even on the life RATS. 1t was
only when they were on the rescuing
ship that psychoneural phenomena be-
gan to develop, including mutism. spas
modic weeping. laughter. tremors. spas
modic movements Of the limbs. etc.

And downward is not just;
For the sight 10 weak and the sense 10 din

Though they seem TO fall and die.

An endless reach Of sky.
And though the hills Of Death
May hide the bright array.

Still geeps its upward way.
Upward, forever upward,

And hear the glorious music

Where to View at a Glance
ScotIand's River System

II there be one place north Of the
Tweed where, at single glance, one
may view and comprehend the chief
river system Of Scotland. Stirling is
that place. From this point one notes
the main streams, the afiiuents. and
the gathering Of the waters which
make the Clyde, the Forth and the
Tay. He can then realize how great
and important In the political and eco
nomic history Of Scotland has been
that great central valley. which
stretches from the North sea to the
waters Of tho Atlantic ocean.
