The WHOLE GREATER THAN A PART

w nat is to be gained by soft coal miners In
issuing the threat OF refusal to abide by an
award before that award is made? Such gain
can only be supposed to come from the force
which threat will have on the commission
making the award. There is menace in such
action to real democracy from class and group
efforts to control, and the action OF the miners
IS a sample OF it. Not that the reported action
q the coal workers is likely to avail them any
thing; it will rather prejudice public opinion
against a later protest and action to enforce de-
llliillds But the threat is there just the same,
standing against an accredited government
agency In advance Of action by the agent
1t matters little where the threat comes from,
whether it be capitalist combine, labor organi-
zatlon, reform league, or high authority decar-
ing tor ''glbbeting" opponents; it is ininical
to majority control and it is going away from,
not back to the republic" But the fact that
these proclamations Of intent to act in opposi-
lion to rightful authority are threats is becom-
ing understood by the people. Therein lies
safety. People country with intelligent folk
and attempts to drive the country will be like
effort to pry loose hemispheres. Mathematical
maxms have the merit of permanence The
whole is still greater than any of its parts .

Manufacturers Record: As
she lay dying In Red Cross hos
pital in France. Miss Jane A. De-
lano, an American nurse, whose
life had been given to heroic work,
said: MY work! my work! l
must get back to my work."
Every man has q work to do
which is as solemn a duty as was
this work of this nurse, who was
literally giving her life for others.
The world is suffering for
thousand things, for food, for clo-
thing, for cars and locomotives,
and many other things, but the
thing which 1t most needs next to
religion itself is new conception
Of and new conservation to
work, not merely because it needs
enlarged production. but because.
to an infinitely greater extent than
1t needs food or clothing. it needs
rebirth of character.
Without deeper retaliation of
mans responsibility to God and
man to work with wholehearted-
ness, with JOY for the privilege of
working, with the thrill of creative
work, whether one be shoeing q
horse. planting crop. building
locomotive or cooking a meal,
there can be no moral advance
ment.
Into every work one must throw
his whole life or else be failure.

TENDERLOINs AND THEIR PRICE,

Exports of meat products are greatly lessen
ed; the packers say they have almost stopped
Why does not the price Of meat come down with
some celebrity, the public is asking. The pack
crs say that it is down and would still further
lessen if the problem of selling the whole meat
carcass in home markets could be solved for
them; here, they assert people will buy only
the cuts regarded the better portions of the
animal; the rest finds no market and is largely
waste.
Now it is perfectly legitimate for this whole
people to buy tenderloins if this whole people
has the money to do it and wants tenderloins
more than money. But it is not reasonable to
suppose that if all the rest of the animal must
be disposed of at a considerable loss, the price
OF tenderloins will not stay up and even 90 up.
with less desirable cuts eliminated. IF the pack
ers sold the whole carcass and now can sell but
two-thirds Of it, the cause Of the continued cost
Is evidently the payment for the third which
nobody will eat. Such cookery as the French
Know and practice, if it were general in this
land, might do whole lot to bring down meat
prices; the French can cook all parts of a meat
animal SO it is emnently eatable And this

LEAP YEAR.

Boston Globe: julius Caesar, who
was so efficient that he found time
to stick finger in most of the pies
OF his world, invented leap year. AT
least he gave orders to his astrono-
mers to attend to the calendar. They
figured out aasyear of 365A days
that is, leap year every four years
but their estimate was eleven min
utes and fourteen seconds too long
Pope Gregory XIII set the clock right
again by suppressing ten days and
ordering that there be no Februar!
20 in three out Of every four cen
tenary years.
The potentates of the eastern
church. unwilling to accept anything
from Rome. kept to the old reckon
ing, and so to this day it is possible
to go through all OF the Easter OBJ.
servances in western country and
then journey to Greece or to Russia,
arriving before Easter is kept there
The English, always deliberate, did
not adopt the Gregorian calender I'm.
til 1850, when they had to drop eleven
days instead Of ten to set themselves
right. That is the reason that in the
older histories the birthday of George
Washington Is given as February IL.
But the heart interest of leap year
puts it's scientific side in the shadow.
A Scotch law of 1888 gave the girls
a right to do the asking and made the
unappreciative bachelor who declined
a leap year proposal subject to fine.
A few years later France enacted a
similar statute. In the fifteenth CEN
fury the law had spread as far as
Genoa and Florence.
Mr. George Bernard Shaw is of the
opinion that every year is leap year.
His play, Man and Superman," is his
attempt to prove it. Shaw may be
right, but it is difficult to collect sta
tistics, because married men are
trained to certain reIcence.

Il MUST GET BACK TO MY WORK.

Knowing that the needs Of the
world are as great as were its
needs when this nurse gave her
life to serve others, the Stacker in
work, the shirker, the time-server,
the Indifferent and indolent are
shining against their own charac-
ter, against their character-form-
ing influence upon their children,
against all humanity, and against
Almighty God, who is our supreme
example as worker.
Work then we must II we
would be honest at heart.
Work we must with all our
might if we would not, looking
deep into our souls, see that there
is weakness there which tends
toward ultimate moral decay.
Work is Heavens great law and
our supremest privilege. Indeed,
in all the work we do that is hon.
est and honorable we are CO.
workers with God.
With God as our partner are
we willing to be Stacker and a
shirker?
That question every man. rich
or poor, employer or employee,
old or young, must honestly face
now, or in agony OF shame face
it on the great Judgment day.
Let us glorify work as privi-
lege as well as duty; as a
blessing, not as curse.

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully, il
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poes contain too much alkaG. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sifled cocoanut oil shampoo (Which IS
pure and greaseiess), and is better than
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the. hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub il
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle Of dust, dirt
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leave:
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member Of the family for months

THE JOY OF CREATING.

Minneapolis Journal: There are
men alive who grew up in homes that
were industrial centers. The boy
tended the lamb and washed the sheep
whose wool was carded and spun,
knot or woven for the family clothing
by the mother He himself had a
first hand in the manufacture of some
OF the fanily's fur and leather wear.
He helped make farm tools and house
furniture, unconsciously becoming a
master of material and man Of judg-
ment. All the arts and crafts his
father knew he absorbed Rough car
penter, blacksmith, wheelwright,
meatpacker, plasterer, bricklayer,
stone mason. miller, teamster and
farmer-all these were combined in
the trade of his father.
Sixty years ago about half the boys
of America worked alongside their
fathers. Today. except those on
farms, few boys can thus learn a
trade. While father is In the shop,
the boy is at his books.
In this change there are gains, but
the boy suffers distinct loss, first of
the close social contact with the par
ents, and second Of the mastery of
material That training OF judgment
and wholesome satisfaction that come
only to him who takes hand in Gre
ating is little known by the boy who
liz kept at books and books only.
Some of this good old-time boy
training is salvaged by the teaching Of
shop work. gardening and agricul.
IEre in school, and in the practice of
II by father and son together in odd
hours. Aside from all thought of earn
ing living later on in life. this
work with material and with nature is
really Indispensable to the full en-
