Where AmeriCan

BY LOUIsE ALLENLAN.

Europe has long viewed with en-
vious eye and covetous soul Amer

has been the land favored of the
gods. blessed with everything that
tho old country lacked-money
food. natural resources. Now II is
suddenly discovered that your Uncle
Sam has surplus bachelors and Eu-
rope wants our bachelors.
In France alone. as has been
pointed out several times since
the war. there are four women to
every three men. One woman in
every four. il seems, is condemned

generation.
France points TO her superfluous
women with a pathetic pride. She
invites American bachelors TO come
over and marry them. For France.

France is telling us what fine wives
French women make, what models
they are as housekeepers.
True enough. but whom among
our superfluOus men shall America
export TO France. along with our

how long would they stay exported
even in beautiful France? Which
leads TO the question: Shall the SUI
perfluOus bachelors have anything
to say about the matter and if they
do. would they submit TO eXporta-

All OF which. of course, as was
quite clear from the beginning, is

Locating Blame
For Conditions
Among Teachers
BY GERTRUDE ATHERsON.


AS a result of its investigation Of
public school teachers salaries in
all cities Of over 5000 population.
the United States chamber OF COM
merce reports that they are worse
off than before the war" And this
despite the popular agitation OF the
subject of increased compensation
and the action taken by the legis-
latureS of several states. Another
distressing disclosure of the nation
wide inquiry is the extremely linn
tied experience of many teachers.
Emergency teachers, lacking pro-
per training for the work, are found
filing most important positions.
The report says they compose AN
alarmingly large proportion" Of
those now in the ClassrOOms. II was
formerly accepted that teachers in
the elementary schools should be at
least graduates of standard normal
schools, says the report, which
means a twO-year professional
course following graduation from
high school but now more than
one-third Of the teachers in Amer
lean cities have less training than
this low standard and there are
llluSduuS OL LcdtntIs III our tlt-
mentary schools who have even less
preparation than is afforded by a
four-year high school course"
The deficiency obviously is close
sly related TO the matter of low re-
Enumeration. The poor compensa-
ton is responsible for the gaps In
the ranks of teachers which must
be filled somehow. The blame rests
not upon the poorly equipped en-
Urgency teachers, but upon the sys-
tenn which pays even the qualified
teacher in many instances far less
than the wages OF the man who
drives the dump cart or Yields the
pick and shovel.

How Corn May be Made
An Economical Feed

1t has now been known for some
years that corn by itself is not an
economical cattle feed. The reason
for this is that about one-half of the
proteins in cron are deficient in some
of the essential compounds needed to
produce growth. In order to make
corn more efficient, it is therefore ne
cessary to mix the corn with other
cattle feeds which contain an abund-
ance of those compounds which are
lacking in corn. Experiments along
this line have recently been carried
out by the United States Department
of Agriculture. 1t has been shown
that when certain concentrates such
as cocoanut press cake, peanut press
cake, soy beans press cake, or cotto
seed press cake are added to the corn
more rapid growth results and the
mixture of proteins is much more ef-
ficient and economical than the pro-
teins of corn alone. It is therefore
very important that the cattle feeder
should so mix his diet that he can get
the greatest amouny of growth from
the least quantity of protein used,
since the protein is the most expensive
constituent in his feed.
1t has been found that about 40 per
cent of coconut press cake, or 25 per
cent of soy bean press cake or peanut
press cake, mixed with corn, furnishes
very efficient diet. 1t is not safe,
however, to add so much cottonseed
press cake, since cotton seed is fire.
quently toxic and is ordinarily not fed
to cattle in amounts of more than
or 4 pounds a day. The experiments
which have been performed indicate
that when corn is properly mixed with
the press cakes mentioned about twice
as much growth can be obtained on a
pound of protein from the mixture as
on corn proteins alone.
While exact data has not been OBJ
tained, the experiments thus far show
that great economy can be achieved
by mixture of other protein foods with
corn.

ARE YOU A
MILLIONAIRE OF
CHEERFULNESS?
Phillips Brooks Values Such
Above Land and Jewels

"Many people in ordinary c1rcum-
stances" says Phillips Brooks, "are
millionaires of cheerfulness. They
make their neighborhood brighter,
happier, an da better place to live in
by their presence; they raise the value
of the whole neighborhood."
"Millionaires of cherefulnes s."
There is wealth of infinitely greater
value than that possessed by those
whose fortunes are represented only
by stocks and bonds and lands and
jeyels and money in the bank. Habi-
tual cheerfulness puts, into the world
something that many millionaire
has not and that all of his money can
not buy for himself or for others. The
writer knows some of these million
aires of cheerfulness. There is one in
his own neighborhood, and the whole
community feels the helpfulness of
her CHEEKY presence. She dresses odd
ly and has some queer little manner
isms to which no one pays much heed
because they forget all about these
things when they are in her CHEEKY
presence. Her laugh is like that of a
child, although the gears of her child
hood and girlhood are far behind her.
One may be sure that Phillips Brooks
would agree with the wise man who
said that "aI! ounce of cheerfulness is
worth pound of sadness to serve God
with" And who can doubt that Phil
lips Brooks and all the other good men
and true in the world would put the
seal of their approval on these lines:
"Be cheerful, God gave this lonesome
world smile,
We stay at longest but little while
Hasten we must, or we shall lose the
chance
To give the gentle word, the kindly
glance.
Be sweet and tender-that is doing
good;
'Tis doing what no other kind deco
could"
1t surely is, and it is because this il
true that cheerfulness is one of tn,
strong Christian virtues. There il
something wrong with the Christian
ity of those who lack it. There i
, something wrong when young peopl
have it not in their own hearts be
cause it is, or should be, one of tn
natural prerogatives of the young

to which no one should fail to respond

DESTROY THE RAG
WEED AND ELlMl-
NATE HAY FEVER
Health Authorities Ask For
Cooperation of Public
Spirited Citizens

Sufferers from hay fever, that
pernicious i'll which aff1icts the
unfortunate among us usually
during August and September will
heartily approve the action OF
health officials who have taken
stand against the rag weed which
in this section is largely response
BILE for hay fever. These weeds
should be destroyed early in the
season before the autumn winds
have a chance to scatter their
pollen abroad.
A sincere desire 70 aid these un-
! fortunates and sympathy for them
should animate all citizens to aid
in protecting them from misery
and suffering. Coughs and sneez-
ing are common symptoms that
follow painful nasal discharges,
and asthmatic attacks may often
occur. These symptoms are very
depressing to patients who often
become very low spirited.
The rag weed is the most com
mon offender in this section. The
disease is caused by the action Of
pollen of certain plants, which i!

which grows to a height of from
one to five feet, blooms from Au

found on almost ever vacant lot

and in uncultivated gardens an

standpoint such weeds are a nuls-
ance, and the law requires that
the owner of the premises on
which they grow shall see that
they are cut.
Pubic spirited citizens should
not wait for the enforcement OF
the law, but should act In con-
junction with the health authorl-
ties in abating such disease breed
ing nuisances. The best way OF
eradicating hay fever is the cult
walton of neglected grounds, but
where this is not feasible the
dangerous weeds should be up
rooted or cut down before the
Towering stage, which prevents
the formation of pollen and the
production of seeds. United &C

greatly assist in eliminating hay
fever.

Branch Exchange Raise

Branch exchange service will be ma
terially increased lin some Inspect
throughout the State. Instead of
charge of So month for all types of
switchboards, the new rates will range
from $2.75 month to $3.50 month
for each OPERATORS position. The
company now charges SO month for
any type of board.
There will be some increases in
auxiliary equipment and service.
There are many parts of the new
schedule of rates filed giving details
of charges for installations, service
and payments, both for public and
private telephones, some of which are
restatements of present regulations.
In the petition filed the company
sets forth it has never been able under
the old rates to pay dividends to the
Bell Telephone Co. of Pennsylvania on
$2,OOO,O0O of it's capital stock held by
the Bell. Also that in November,
1919, the Diamond State Company
asked the commission for leave to con-
tinue rates established during govern
ment control, and that in February
1920, the commission ordered the COM
pany to continue the present rates un-
til December, 1920, and that the net
earnings of the Diamond State Co. for
six years have averaged less than 8
per cent on actual cash cost of prop
erty, and that the net earnings for
1920 will be about "a per cent on ac-
tual cash cost.
The company alleges that the ac-
tual appraised value of its property is
SO per cent above the "book value"
Also thatthe low rate of earnings is
a menace to the company's credit and
prevents securing capital for extern
sions; that no more than fair return
