Wealth and Happiness.

Much of the anxiety and care OF
these days is needless and springs
from an overemphasis of the amount
Of property needed for happiness. Ev-
erything in our country tends to slim
ulate men toward excessive ambition.
Our climate is rich in oxygen, and is
an irritant to work. The undeveloped
resources of our land appeal to Gu
pidity-even at time when we begin
to realize that these treasures should
be conserved for our descendants. The
stories of successful men are exploited
with endless variations in magazines
that teach the art of getting Oh in
stead of getting up. Little by little
young men feel that 1t is disgrace
TO live modestly. Avarice is II virus
in the blood Undue ambition is pois-
oning the springs of contentment.
Youth has forgotten Ceramics warn
ings not ito fly too high toward the
sun lest the flame consume the wings"

FINDS SECRET OF HIS ORIGIN
Natives of Guam EnIighten Marine;
Disagree With the Theories Put
Forward by Darwin.

The theory that he had sprung from
some remote protoplasmic organism,
that his twenty-times-g rea grandfather
was wire-haired baboon in the wildS
of Abyssinia and other near-Darwinian
monstrosities, were all regarded by
Sergeant John Burrows of the marine
corps as so much bunk" Still. his
mind was never at rest.
The sergeant re-enlisted after the
war and was ordered to Guam.
The other day a letter was received
at the marine corps recruiting head
quarters. 1t came from Sergeant Bur-
rows in Guam.
"At last" he stated. 81 have discov-
cred where my ancestors have come
FROM
The sergeant explained that natives
of the island had enlightened him. In
accounting for the origin of man. they
said that everything in the world was
derived from Il certain rock on the
island of Guam, which first became
human, then stone, and gave birth to
all men. From this island men We're
scattered all over the world. They
forgot their language and talked like
fools without understanding one an
other nor knowing what was said."-

Inhabitants of Old Providence Island
Astounded by the Appearance of

One wonders what the inhabitants

when seven American seaplanes, with
that rending clamor of motor that
marks these powerful devices, swooped
down on her tiny harbor. The report
OF the seven fliers is epic in its sim
plicity.

ers. The onions are sent to market as
they are needed.
Southern Crop.
In the South, especially in the Gulf
States, there Is another onion belt, which
produces the other 10 per cent OF our
onions. These are the Bermuda onions
which you see figured on menus about
this time of the year. They are planted
in December and harvested carly in the
spring. They are supposed to come on
the market just as the northern crop.
stored the fall before. is becoming ex-
hausted. Thousands of tons of north
ern onions remain in the market TO
compete with the southern crop. And
the southern crop won't keep. Har-
vested in warm weather, IL must be
moved and eaten within three or four
weeks or il will spoil. Hence, not
only is the grower of northern onions
being forced to take very low price
for his crop, but the southern onion
man is apt to see his crop rot in storage.
This situation is typical of the con-
ditions which are causing the Amer
lean farmer so much distress. The price
that he gets for his product is regulated
by demand and supply. Unfortunately
he cannot control the demand at all,
and he can control the supply very little.
Besides this. when prices fall. dis
proportionate share OF the loss falls
upon the farmer. The other agencies
which handle his product usually suffer
very little when prices fall. and they
usually make most of the extra profit
when they rise.
The Department of Agriculture tries
to help the farmer by telling him how
much TO plant. so that he may avoid
Cutting the market and forcing down
the price of his own product. For ex-
ample. as soon as it has learned the
size of the northern onion Grip. the
Department advises the southern onion
men about how much they may safely
plant. In the same way they advise
the farmers as TO their potato plant
ings, and about many other crops. Much
temporary good is accomplished in this
way. but Of course this constitutes no
solution of the problem of how to assure
the farmer fair return for his invest
ment and his labor. II also leaves us

than by any other. You have doubtless
noticed that potatoes go up and down
in price In n most disturbing way. One
year. they are luxury and the next
year a drug on the market. The farmer
does all he can to regulate the supply,
but an acre that produces sb bushels of
potatoes one year may produce 1i0
bushels the next. Then. too. large sec
tions of the crop may be destroyed.
Thus some years the country actually

IL is to make industrial alcohol out of

HAVE AN ONION
By Frederic ]. Haskin

Washington. April l5.--If you are one
of those thrifty persons who cut down
the cost of living 10y buying what the
market offers at bargain. you viii fea-
turc onions on your table this spring.
The market is glutted with onions.
There are said 10 he $500 carloads OF
them on hand. which will soon be use
less If not eaten. And nj the same time
the human system has a special need
for onions. They are. according to ex-
perts. one of the very best of spring
tonics. Not only do they contain
vitamincs, and the mineral salts in
which "A civilized diet is so poor. but
Also certain essential oils that have the
specific effect Of stimulating the liver.
And the liver is usually an important
factor in that springtime feeling of
lassitude and general Indifference
which the poet does not sing.
The present glut in the onion market
has forced down the price of that vege-
table which took rank as a luxury dur
ing the war. to two cents a pound.
In the producing regions you can buy
them for as little as half cent. This
situation. which is SO happy for the
onion eater and SO sad for the onion
grower. Is a part of'the general collapse
ot the values Of farm products-a col
lapse which IS undermining the econo-
mic health OF the whole country. But
II Is also due in part to a popularity
OF the business of onion growing.
There are two great onion-producing
regions in the United States. The most
important of these is in the North. 1t
runs from Massachusetts, TO Michigan
fn an unbroken belt across the Coun-
try. then jumps the prairie states and
appears again in Colorado and northern
California. This region produces SIS per
cent Of all OF our onions. From it come
the big white. red and yellow onions
which you can buy all winter at the
grocery store. They are harvested in
The early fall and are placed in special
onion storage houses. which are so
constructed as to resist the frost. These
storage houses may be owned by the
onion growers in some cases, but are

surd.
The population IL increasing faster
than the food supply. Moreover. every
year sees q larger proportion of that
population crowded into the cities. and
"A smaller proportion of IL on the farms.
Hence we all urge the farmers to pro-
duce as much food as possible. But
the interest of the farmer lies the other
way. When crops are small. he gets
good prices. The city people suffer.
When crops are large. the farmer loses
money. while the city people get food
at lower prices.
An Economic Absurdity.
So the better the farmer does for the
city people, the worse he does for him
self. The best thing for him to do
is to practice diversified farming pro-
ducing as many as possible of the
things he needs himself, and putting
forth a small money crop" which will
bring a good price. The intelligent
farmer and especially the farmer swho
belongs to a farmer organization. is
rapidly getting this idea. He is also
getting the idea that when he markets
his money crop comparatively. thereby
eliminating at least some of the middle
men. he will get still more money for
il. Small crops, production for home
consumption. and community co-opera-
ton may help to solve the problem for
the farmer. But they will not solve
the food problem of the nation. Until
some way is found of rewarding the
farmer for doing his task well, instead
OF furnishing fim. he will he under
strong Inducements to short-ration us.
The worst difficulty which the farmer
faces in carrying out his program is
that chance and weather have great
deal to do with the size OF crops. He
can decide how much land he will plant
in a given crop and he does consider
this matter more and more carefully
with one eye on the market. But he
cannot decide how much the land will
produce. That depends on the weather.
In onions. the same land may produce
as little as $50 bushels per acre or as
much as 600 bushels. Thus the farmer
may intend TO produce a small crop
and produce n large one in spite of him
self.
This uncertain element IN farming is
illustrated better by the potato crop
