LHE'S RESPONSIBILITY.
By EDGAR A. GUEST

LIFT'S RESPONSIBILITY.
This is the thing I would have you
learn-nothing is yours to keep.
And never you'll rest from the need
Of toll till the last, long final
sleep;
There's never a place or a time in
life when nothing you'll have 70
do
Whatever the post you shall come
to here, 1t shall call for the best
in you.
You may dream Of riches and all
the joy which silver and gold
can buy,
But the greater the wealth that
shall come TO you. the greater
your care shall lie;
For the more that this If. shall
give 10 you, the more TO life you
must give,
For this is the great unwritten law;
No man to himself can live.
Has God bestowed on YOU talents
rare by which you may rise to
fame?
Then upon your soul ne has laid
the charge with courage TO use
the same;
Nor skill nor power can bring You
ease. for this you shall find is
true
He who has much to do with here.
shall ever have much 70 do.
For life and talent and wealth and
fame are given 70 men in trust
And each must work with the gifts
he has till his flesh returns to
dust,
For this is the law which governs
all and this is the common
test
He that shall come 10 the best life
has. must give 10 the world his
best.

be asked, does the world propose TO do in the in
terim between the present and the time when dis
armament becomes the fixed policy of the nations?
What bIoodshed and what destruction are con-
templated probable?
The allies have forced Germany TO give up prac-
ucaIly all the more formidable instruments of war
but estimated by allied military commander
that great quantities Of small arms and supplies are
stnI being held. hidden away by the people Has
Germany retained the nucleus OF another great

The truth is that mankind, in the mass likes
The clnl OF the sword and the other accompani-
ments or war and above all il likes to enhance ito
own interests even 20 the extent OF taking away
from others the things that are rightfully their
property.
The time for disarmament would be the present
& the nations willing admit the rights Of
the peoples to enter inf1 possession OF their right
ful inheritances and work their national life
in way that would benefit the race. The spirit OF
conquest and revenge is still rampant In the
thoughts of many peoples, and peace can never be

THOUGHTS ON WORMS.
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

OAN ~ oOAAAsA1s
A Colorado entomolygist insists
that insects would provide US with
excellent food were it not for our
prejudices.
We have no doubt that bran and
hay are filling;
We're not averse 10 dietetic stunts
We've eaten whale and shark, and
we are willing
To sample almost any creature
once.
We quite applaud the scientists en-
deaVOr
To build synthetic food OF harm
less drugs,
But not for any reason whatsoever
wall we eat bugs.
We're fond OF Ougs-we think
they're pretty creatures
The bugs that fly-the bugs that
squirm and crawl
The ugliest have their redeeming
features,
We know they must be useful. one
and all.
We like to watch the butterflies at
twilight.
To see them sail on every breeze
that stirs,
We ike TO watch the moths above
the skylight-
Though not In furs.
But while we have no doubt that
they're nutritious
And cooked with butter sauce
would likely make
a dish as appetizing and delicious
AS oysters. fish, or even sirloin
steak
We feel that there's a squashiness
above them,
A certain softness that could not
be chewed
And We are sure we'd rather do
without them.
Though starved for food.
The iusty trout has no such stern
objections
Whatever bug he finds delights
his soul
lie eats the angle worm IN writhing
sections
And swallows beetles, gnats and
locusts whole
But though the trout may be the
moth aspire,
When he observes him. perched
upon a limb,
Wei eat the insect food we may
require
When we eat him.
