DIR. John NJ Thomas, who is to be in
augurated president of Pennsylvania
State college today, has been a conspic-
uous figure in church and educational cir
cleS for many years. He graduated from
DIiddlebury college in 1890 and from the
Union Theological seminary in 1893. be-
ing ordained to the Presbyterian ministry
in the same year He was pastor of n
church in East Orange. y. J.. from 1893

POLICING THE FAR CORNERS.

The establishment of police booths in
outlying districts, manned by two men,
one equipped with motorcycle and the
other ready to answer emergency tele-
phone calls, is recommended as a safety
measure for a city where crime has been
especially rampant and getaways notably
frequent. 1t is a protective scheme which
deserves consideration in any town or
rural district.
Especially where a state police force
is lacking, a series of such units estab-
lished by each community and linked by
telephone or wireless should help in
checking fugitives and act as a crime de-
torrent. This is especially true of the
more remote districts where revolving
crimes, murders and robberies grow more
frequent as the network of improved
roads spreads out and the automobile fur
nishes ready means for flight.

INACCESSIBLE WEALTH.

A lecturer tells of the enthusiastic
American senator who returned from
Alaska with the glorious tidings that in
one river valley alone-and that not the
largest-there was room and splendid
soil for 100000 farms. The lecturer in
vestigated and found that the statement
as it stood, all by itself, was true. But
inasmuch as the entire population of
Alaska at the present time is less than
10000, and transportation is so expensive
that it effectually bars the marketing of
farm products elsewhere at a profit, he
wasn't advising 100000 farmers to rush
right off to Alaska and enter the business
of agriculture quite yet.
This problem of distribution is one of
the greatest now before the nations.
With coal enough to supply the world
for centuries, and ice enough to fill its
ice-boxes meanwhile, Alaska alone could
warm the world. turn its wheels and pre-
serve its food. Provided, Of course, those
wise ones arise who will show the world
how to get the things it needs into the
places where it needs them, at a profit
to those who get them out and take them
there, and at prices possible to those who
consume them.

VISITING THE CITY COUSINS.

Summer is naturally the time the city
cousins choose for visiting their country
relations and enjoying farm life, but not
until after the crops are in and the farm
work a little less strenuous can the coun-
try cousins return the visit-in case they
are invited. Abe Martin has some advice
for rural relatives contemplating a trip
to the city which is worth considering.
This student of human nature says:
Don't hunt up your city cousins.
They'll not be at home, an if they are
they'll have little L eat.
A couple o. rounds on tn phonergraph
is about all tn entertainment they kin
offer.
They'll talk about high taxes an tn
cost o Twin an how they're up against
it, an you couldn' swallow if you stayed
