John Burroughs: Whose heart
does not leap up, be he child or
man, when he beholds a rainbow
in the sky? 1t is the most spec
tacular as 1t Is the most beauti-
fuI thing In the daily familiar
nature about US. 1t has all the
qualities that are most calcu-
lated to surprise and delight US
audiences, brilliancy, delicacy.
sharp contrasts, and the primal
cosmic FORM, the circle. No eye
SO dull but turns to 1t with plea
sure-a painted triumphaI arch,
yet az intangible as a dream,
suddenly springing athwart the
dark storm cloud. Born of the
familiar universal elements, the
sun and the rain, it is yet as
elusive and spectral and surpris-
ing as ii it were revelation from
another sphere. 1t Is kind of
incarnation Of beauty-a VERT
able wrath that hovers and re-
treats before you. 1t is fixed
there against the cloud, irrespec-
tive OF the falling motion of the
drops OF rain through which 1t is
thrown. They fail, but it does
not fall. They are swayed and
whirled by the wind, but the bow
keeps its place. That band Of
prismalic colors is In no sense .
part of the rain, and the rain
knows it not. 1t springs out in
the rear of the retreating storm,
but the storm knows it not The
eye knows 1t not. and sees It not
unless placed at a certain def
mite point in relation to it. The
point Of view makes the bow. No
two persons see precisely the
same rainbow; there are as many
bows as there are beholderS.
Sometimes we see two rain
bows. as If nature were in an
extra happy mood. In the second
one the colors are in reverse
order from that Of the first. The
first is due to the rays of the sun
falling upon the outer portion of
the drops and undergoing two
refractions and one reflection be-
fore reaching the eye, while the
second bow is due to the rays
falling on the inner side of the
drops and undergoing two refrac-
tons and two reflections. The
rainbow is an apparition Of color
and form in the air. The
sunset is afar off, painted upon
the distant clouds, but the rain
bow comes down to earth and

Some, like Rousseau, Thoreau and

Favorite Books "out Of Prin+n

Christian Science Monitor: It was
indeed serious state of things which
was unfolded to the Library associa-
ton in England recently by L. Stan.
ley Jast, of the Manchester public
libraries. 1t appears that many ia
nous children's books are actually
out Of print and that the libraries are
experiencing great difficulty in COM
pleting their shelves. Much OF Har-
rison Ainsworth and the whole OF
Jules Verne-imagine 1.-THE sea
stories of w. III. G.. Kingston, several
tales by Captain Marryat and BalIan-
tyne are practically unprocurable,
save through the secondhand dealer.
And SO Mr.. Jast proposes that the
council of the Library association
shall negotiate with publishers for
the reprint OF these books, guaran.

take the work a large enough sale

The silly STUFF.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In
Washington Mrs. Meredith, up to
date, seems to have made more Of a
f1utter than the new secretary of
agriculture. And how did she do it?
Why, by changing the date of her
afternoons at home, from Wednesday
to Thursday, or was dt from Thurs
day to Wednesday,? That was up
setting social tradition Of the CAPT
tai of the nation. And 1t was con-
sidered important enough to be COW
cred in the dispatches. Of course
we farmers of the west are deeply
interested in social precedence ut
Washington. And what are these
social functions? 1t is when a few
ladies call on a few other ladies and
exchange few trivialties of CONVEX.
sation, and, perhaps, drink a cup OF
tea together and gossip. But back
there such things are deemed as
being of some Importance. Silly to
most sensible persons; and to think
that any stir should be made over
them--or that "a woman from Iowa"
should make the stir. But 1t may
be only more national advertising.

ator kenyon purposes to put in ms

very confident that he will not find

Marshalltown Times-Republican
The Charter Oak Times says Wilson
and Lodge are holding back the
treaty. The Times view is rather
superficial. The treaty itself is uak-
ing the impasse. Its provisions are
Its own death warrant.
Waterloo Times-Tribune: Colonel
Bryan isn't going to allow Senator
Hitchcock. TO make much headway
as a candidate for president. Which
may decide Mr.. Hitchcock and his
Nebraska friends that Mr.. Bryan will
have no business in San Francis 20
around about next June.
Monticello Express: Senator j..
Ham Lewis, he of the pink whiseers
and gray spats, predicts that in the
end Wilson will be renominaled by
Iacclamation. This is ccnceding that
| the democratic party is in a worse
condition than it's enemies con-
tended it u.s..
| Rorfe Arrow: The two things that
puzzles US most are that our country
| has not been able to protect itself
against sedition and its people
against blue-sky grafters.

woman suffrage must be dear to the
heart of the republican national com.
mittee or it would never have paid

NOT FIGURED ON.

In 1917, 1918, and 1919 insurance companies
in the United States and Canada paid out a
total of eight hundred and two million, four
hundred and seventy-one thousand dollars for
fire losses.
When one stops to consider the cost Of re-
placing buildings today is just about double
what it was five years ago, some idea of the ire
mendous losses caused by these fires can be
gained
Very few people have increased their insur.
ance to cover this increased value Of their prop
rty and when fire loss comes the insured finds
that instead of being we'll covered as he had
figured several years ago, that he probably has
only about half the insurance he should have.
AS a result tremendous losses have been in
curred by the individual and industry through
failure to recognize this changed condition
In the report issued by the national Ameri-
canism commission of the American Legion is
this paragraph: ''The best work the Legion
can do will be that of the separate posts all over
the country, each devoting itself to conditions
in it's own community and striving to do all it
can to promote the public welfare, to stimulate
good citizenship by both example and precept.
to strengthen the power of other individuals
and organizations that are working toward the
same end.' This is admirable. A great CO.
operative work of the sort here outlined will
make the Legion fulfill the best hopes held for it
by it's sincere friends
