IMAGINARY MOUNTAINS.

To the idealist living in the plains
there is something mysterious. awesome
and sacred about mountains.
But alas, mountain towns ant; Giles
are not filled with angels. People have
committed murder in mouniains-ihey
have stolen. cheated and lied in the face
of towering cliffs. stately pines and mys.
iorious canons. People do not need
mountains, the splashins ocean. the con
stant environment Of beauty or grand.

not be always under the hypnotic spell
Of these things. il he is the type to
fespond to such stimuli and. Ike all
lypnotism it leaves the subject power.
less without its aid. In an emergency
he fails.
The idealizing plainsmsn is right. 1t
should not be hard TO be good in the
mountains. With every part of his en-
yironment conducive to inspiration, high.
minded thinking and lofty actions. one
has little excuse for induleine sordid.
petty thoughts and deeds. But since
mountains cannot be everywhere. since
The ocean cannot he all places and the
grandeur Of hypnotic beauty cannot be
eveysne's portion. il is for the man who
lives on the plain, in the land Of every
day. to bring the mountains. the sea,
the beauty Of all life into his heart.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS.

In Boone County there are now twcn-
ty.one grain and soiljudeing clubs, with
a membership Of 2l7; one poultry club
with nine members; and thirteen sew
ing clubs with total membership Of
l22. This makes the total membership
Of the boys and girls clubs Of the county
only 34s
Although these clubs foster a social
aspect and tend to add interest and va
riety to the lives Of the boys and girls
on the farms, this phase does not express
the chief purpose Of the organization,
which is to keep the young people on the
farm.
The clubs bring education. Better
ways 81 farming are learned through the
scientific instruction Of ihe leader. The
boy puts his idea inio immediate prac-
tice at home. The girls are taught the
art Of making ii,eir own clothes. Of prsc-
iicai and efficient household manage
ment. and of scientific methods of cook
ing More than this. the young people
learn that the work they usually call
drndsey really can be made interest.

THE POLITICAL SPEECH

Greater than any issue today Is The
kind Of men We should elect to take
charge Of the government administra-
lion. Our problem when entrusted 10
safe and trustworthy hands will find
shape and solution. Just what men
should be elevated to public offices is
a study that demands analysis Of our
candidates. A candidate may be meas
ared by his public record. by his public
conduct, by his grasp oI present prob
lens or by his speeches.
Unfortunately our political parties at
tempt to make clear-cut divisions among
our voters and allow their followers lit.
lie liberty in The expression Of independ-
ent opinions. The party platform. once
the promise and the faith that emanated
from tie candidate, is now merely a
contract drawn BY the constituency
which is forced upon the candidate to
accept if he Is To get the partys sup
port This leaves the candidate a lin
tied self-expression aud confines him
merely within the terms Of the platform
drawn for him. IL is a condition which
has made the free choice Of candidates
more difficult. The party machinery has
doubtless contributed greatly to the pro.
gress Of democratic governments. but on
the other hand, it should be recognized,
its results have not all been salutaIy.
The parry machinery leaves little power
Tor the voter to exercise. It's demands
upon loysln. party unity and the like
have created bossism and party whips.
This nskes it more difficult for a can
didaie to win on personal merits alone.
Nevertheless within the sphere Of the
party platform. a candidate Of consider
able personality may so express himself
as to give the people a just estimate of
his merits. The partisan speech is his
mode of expression. 1t is here where
he demonstrates his abilities to grasp
present problems. the qualities and con-
text of his craftsmanship and the scope
Of his vision. II he has q broad mind
he will lesse nothing for the people to
doubt as to his stand on particular ques-
lions Of the day. lie should not be de.
void Of a program so as to be able to
show TO the people from whom he asks
support exactly what he intends to do
The candidate cannot help bu, be parti.
san, but in making i partisan speech the
populace will demand an honest regard
for facts and truth. lie will be Judged
more by what he says than by anything
he will do.

END OF WORLD RUMORS GREATLY
 EXCITED INDIA

London, Feb. 9.-The masses in In- dia, especially the ignorant villagers, were greatly agitated as the result of the prediction made by Professor Porta, of America, that December IT would see the beginning of exception al storms and earthquakes, says the Calcutta correspondent of the Daily Mail By the time the prediction reached India it had grown into a declaration that the world was com ing to an end. The corresponds at says of these frightened people:
 They invoked their gods, made vows and offerings, bathed in the sacred streams, shaved their heads, and sat clothed practically in sack cloth and ashes Git is quite a com mon sight to see religious mendfcants smeared all over with ashes), await ing the crack of doom.
 t'It was rumored that 'Khuda' (the Deity) was going to descend on the Ochterlony monument in Calcutta. At the police courts scores of self-con- stituted astro1ogers argued some for and others against the prophecy. As soon as the weather got cloudy an aged Moslem, who was the complain ant in case of petty assault, left the coutr and let his case take care of itself. He was, he said, going home to die with his family

NURSES BIRTHDAY WILL
 BE CELEBRATED

New York, Feb. g. - A campaign to recruit 30.000 young women in training schools for nurses and Q prize of $500 for the best three act play by an American author based upon incidents in the life of Florence Nightingale, will be among the fea- lures Of the celebration commemo- rating the tooth anniversary of the birth of the woman whose work among the sick and wounded in the Crimean war laid the foundation for modern nursing.
 Pageants, public meetings and for nal ceremonies will be held on the anniversary date, May 12. it was an- nounced here today by the Nightin- gale Centennial Committee of the National Organization for Public Health Nursing. Nursing organiza- tions, women's clubs and colleges will take part.
 The prize for the play, was offered by the Illinois Council for Nursing Education to stimulate interest in the nursing profession, in which there is a low rate of enlistment at present. Incidetally it is hoped to encourage e aspiring playwrights in colleges Man uscripts must be submitted before August 1.
 There are far too few nurses in the United States to meet the needs oi normal times, it was said at the head quarters of the National Organizatio or for Public Nursing, and the shortage during the influenza epidemic has been acute. There are not more than 5000 public health nurses in the country, whereas at least 5O,00O are required by federal and state Iegisla- -tion either passed or pending.
