BRAND Has Reuealed Preoccupations

WASHINGTON, Nov 81 (By The AS

head of the British delegation, in his
speech after Premier BRAND said

him with admiration, we have heard
him with full measure of sympathy,
but we have done much more, I think,
than merely been the auditors of a
great, artistic performance. We nave
heard something more than a great
speech; we have heard perfectly can

taxable exposition of the inmoss
thoughts Of the Prime Minister of our
great ally.
He has told us, believe without
reserve, what are the anxieties, what
are the preoccupations Of the country
over whose destinies he presides. He
has told us what they fear and why
they fear it. And nothing can be more
useful, nothing can be more instruc-

The Longing to Know.
From the Albany Herald.

Dr. Johannes Schmidt, Danish scientist,
IS starting out on a years voyage during
which he hopes to discover where the cells
go DR.. Schmidt is the worlds greatest
eel expert, but neither he nor any other
scientist has been able to learn what be-
comes of the cells after they depart from
the northern waters at the close of sum-
mer. What difference does it make where
the cells go? OF what practical use is any
scientific knowledge concerning the hid
den secrets of the earth? 1t is mans priv
iege to know these things, and to wrest
the earth's secrets from it if he has the
power. 1t does not cheaper our bread and
butter to know how far the stars are from
us, nor will it tighten our burdens to know
what becomes of the ees, but all scientific
knowledge helps us to understand the uni
verse better, and thus assist in making
lite fuller and more complete. Man was not
endowed with curiosity purpOselessy AS
long as there are left on this earth hidden
secrets and unSolved mysteries man will ex-
ert himself to find them out. The more
we know about the world in which we live
the greater will be our appreciation Life
is more than meat and the body than raj
ment.-DaWsOn News.
1t is true, of course, that cells would be
NEITHER ScarCer nor more plentiful as the re-
suit of scientists discovery of the secret of
where they go when they leave their summer
habitat. But human nature is so constituted
that we are always DESTROYS of knowing the
truth about those things which have been
hidden from us, and we accordingly strive to
peep behind the veil Of mystery which hides
SO many secrets. We do not know where the
shad, the rockhsh and the surgeons go when
they leave the rivers in the autumn and enter
the sea. They spend the winter somewhere in
the ocean or its inlets but nobody has ever
discovered just where, for none OF them have
ever been taken from the sea. The salmon
travel in great schools from the rivers in
which they begin life, and spend four years
in the Arctic before returning to the same
rivers in which they were Matched, yet sal
mon are never taken from the Arctic ocean.
An American scientist is preparing to
build a remarkable telescope in South Ameri-
ca, and through it he hopes to be able to see
the planet Mars under conditions that will
make it possible to sweep aside much of the
mystery in which this red-faCed neighbor has
ever been shrouded. OF course it will be of no
practical value to us even if we shall be able
to see, through the eyes OF a scientist glued
to his giant telescope whether or not Mars
is inhabited and what the planet looks like
at close range. But it will satisfy our curl
osity, and we dearly love to have our curios-
ity satisfied
After all, it's a mighty good thing man
has curiosity. If he had been created without
it he would never have known anything ex-
cept what he saw, for he would never have
had the desire to reach out into the unknown
after the unseen.

The Torture of Suspense.

A murderer has just been sentenced in
Connecticut to be hanged for his crime, and
the date of the execution has been set for
April 10, 1922. That is nearly six months
from now. 1t seems to be a long time for
even a murderer to suffer the suspense that
his punishment brings, and, unless the Con-
necticut law conceived that as a part of the
penalty, it is not clear just why the agony
for the condemned man should be prolonged
Ii the law itself had any mercy whatever the
murderer would not have to drag out the rest
of his existence in dread terror. Most muir
derers, when they realize their last opportu-
nifty to escape death is gone welcome the APP
proach of the day of execution. 1t is fire.
quent plea that the hanging or electrocution
be hurried if possible. Recently negro con
demned to die for murder asked to have the
date of his execution moved forward so he
could meet his fate more quickly and have
done with it, THE suspense is killing me,

The Roll Call.

Other communities are busy with plans for
the Red Cross Roll Call and inquiries are
coming to the News office as to what Daw-
son proposes to do in the matter. So far as
we have been able to find out no steps have
been taken to give the people of Terrell coun-
ty opportunity to contribute to an organi-
cation that perhaps means more to suffering
humanity than any other outside the church
es. and the Red Cross so thoroughly organ
lied for the most efficient service fills place
that is unique and does a work that cannot
be done by any other organization. There
are people here who would rather do without
their breakfast than fail to enroll with the
Red Cross, and are waiting for the opportuni-
tv. Dawson is usually wide awake to all good
movements, but just at present we seem to
be tagging in the matter OF the Red Cross.

AUTUMN WOODS.
By Willis Hudspetl1.

What mortal skill can duplicate
An autumn woodland sight,
Or human thought originate
Such colors of delight?
Can any stimulating hand
Produce a work OF art as grand?
The scarlet sumacs fringe the grove
In patches far and near;
Leaves-yelow, greenish, buff and mauve
And others curling, scar,
Hang quaking in the hazy breeze,
Or quiet, lie around the trees.
The woodbine clings around the oak,
Which spreads its stalwart arms
Above the moss and artichoke
And shrub of meeker charms,
With elm and oak and hickory
Commingling i'll the fantansy.
Pink asters. twinkling, dot the sod
About the hazel hedge;
The sunfow'r and the goldenrod
Begirth the neither edge,
Both bowling mannerly as il
Their welcome were a triAe stiff.
A rood below, the river flows
Its winding way along,
Where on the willow flock the crows
To sing their meeting song,
While blackbirds babble in the brush,
Upon the cattail or the rush.
The fields dim in the far off blur
Here curves a wagon road;
There slowly drives a harvester
Contented with his load
Through down of milkweed from the
glade
Across a poplar's pointed shade.
The drifting clouds tranquility
Blends with the turquoise hue,
And fills us with an ectasy
That thrills us through and through.
He who depicted all there is
Can only paint a scene like this.

Hav VS.. Gasoline.

''You can feed horse for IS cents day
Why have an auto?" That legend appeared
on placards at the twenty-eighth convention
of the National Hay Association at Chicago,
having been designed by the hay producers
as an argument for a more extensive employ
ment of the horse drawn vehicle in business.
1T is a foregone conclusion that the legend
will not be popular in Detroit and Akron.
The hay men are pledged to encourage in
every way possible the return of the horse.
They're not concealing their motive, of course,
which is to create a more extensive market
for their product. Horses that work must eat
inst as motor vehicle must have gasoline and
oil Dobbn eats hay hence the interest OF the
hay producers in having him come back into
the business of delivering goods in cities and
towns. They argue that, where frequent stops
are necessary, the horse is more advantageous
+ than motor vehicle for use within a twenty
mile radius That seems a little extravagant
in this time of hustle and hustle, for the dis
lance that a motor vehicle can cover in all
hour could not be traversed by a horse in
much less than half day, If his efficiency IS
maintained 1t might be cheaper to feed
horse than to pour gasoline into tank, but
deliveries would be slow and uncertain, and
that would hurt business. Consumers of goods
demand quick service and are not satisfied
with anything else, as merchants fully realize
The horse will never become extinct. Some
communities always will use the horse as
draft animal, and with some men the afec-
ton for the faithful beast is so deep and last
ing that Dobbn will continue to hold place
OF usefulness. 1t is recognized that the aver
+; he
does his horse but for quick service the mo-
tor vehicle wins. Hay producers may extend
their arguments and represent that the horse
has no clutch to STOP no valve to grind, no
carbon to interfere with his service, no urge
for dangerous speed, and yet fail to impress
the business public that the cheaper and slow
er method of delivery should be used. Modern
methods insist upon that which expedites COM
mercial intercourse. The horse is not in class
with the motor car.
