cooperation back ill the days when he was boy on the farm.
 It does not take an optimist to see the pleasant picture of the farm boy of today after he has become the man. ager of his own land and after he has begun the marketing of his own prod ucts. The farm boy and girl today are receiving the benefit of training and education in profitable farm and home practices that it was not the privilege of their father and mother to receive.
 Last year more than 26,000 boys and girls of Arkansas were taught the yalu- ation of organization and of meeting together on common ground to learn good methods of farm and home man. agement They raised their products and last fall met at fairs and rallies and brought results of their work for exhibition. They raised money by

various means to conduct their fairs and shows. They were learning hte first principals of cooperation.
 This year the lesson is being carried still fuhter and the club boys and girls of Arkansas are responding by showing that they have learned how to cooperate and are working out their own probelms under statewide plan of club organization. Under this new plan the clubs of farm boys and girls are becoming self supporting. They are providing their own means for raising money. They are laying their own plans for fairs, short courses and rallies to be held during the year. They have gained the confidence that comes through having worked together. They know the value of concerted effort.

Saw First Tobacco Smoke.

It was Christopher Columbus who discovered tobacco, and he did 1t on his first voyage in 1892, according to a little brochure which George 0. Dempsey of Boston, has prepared for distribution among the members Of the Algonquin club. Mir. Dempsey's account says: He was not only the first European to report tobacco, but he saw the natives smoking rolls of it --cigars-to light which they carried burning brands in their hands. Popu- lar impression makes Sir Walter Ra' leigh the discoverer. History dis closes the fact that the distin- guished nobleman was closely and unfortunately identified with the fra grant herb, but at the same time shows that he did not begin to play his dramatic part on the worlds stage till years after the great admiral had quit 1t.
 At all events the pipe is insep- arabic from our vision of Raleigh, but we know Columbus saw cigar smok- ing years before him. Unfortunate discoverer. indeed, Columbus found a new continent. and another gave 1t his name. He discovered smoking, and the name of another is linked to the romance of it.

LEARNING TO COOPERATE.

The farmer is just beginning to ap- preciate the value of cooperation. Had he learned years ago to cooperate and work with other farmers in the solu- tion of his problems his present posi- tion in regard to marketing his prod ucts for his rightful portion of their valuation would not be so difficult.
 It has taken vision of bankruptcy to drive the farmer to cooperation. In desperation he grasped it as the last straw, now he knows how much more pleasant it is when, with others in his same position, he is helping to work out solution of common problem. The farmer is not to be blamed in any sense because he did not learn to CO., operate sooner but how much better would be his condition today had he been biven the opportunities to learn

BEAUTY IN OLD AMSTERDAM
Canals of Dutch City Have Caused 1t to ee Named the Venice of
 the North.

Amsterdam is notable for two pos sessions above all others: It's old canals and its old pictures, writes E. V. Lucas in "A Wanderer in Holland" Truly has 1t been called the Venice of the North; but very different is its somber quietude from the sunny Ital- ian city among the waters.
 There is beauty of gaiety and a beauty of gravity; and Amsterdam in It's older parts-on the Keizersgracht and the Heerengracht-has the beauty of gravity.
 In Venice the canal is of course, also the street; gondolas and barcas are continually gliding hither and thither; but in the Keizersgracht and the Heerengracht the water is little used.
 One day, however, watched a cos termonger steering boatload of flow CTS under bridge and no words of mine can describe the loveliness of their reflection. l remember the incl dent particularly because flowers are not much carried in Holland. and 1t is very pleasant to have this impress sion of them-this note of happy gal ety in so dark setting.
 In the main Amsterdam is city of trade. of hurrying business men, of ceaseless changing tramcars and crowded streets. but on the Keizers- gracht and the Heerengracht you are always certain to find the old essen tial Dutch gravity and peace.
 No tide moves the sullen waters of these canals, which are lined with trees that in spring form before the narrow, dark, discreet houses the most delicate green tracery imaginable; and in summer screen them altogether. These houses are for the most part black and brown. with white window frames and they rise to great height, culminating in that curious stepped gable (with a crane and pulley in iD which is, to many eyes, the symbol of the city. l know no houses that so keep their secrets.
 In every one, I doubt not, is furni- ture worthy of the exterior; old paint ings of Dutch gentlemen and gentle women, a landscape or two, girl with lute old silver wind mills; and plate upon plate of serene blue Delft.

play the hypocrite. True to his
innermost convictions, he took
his stand upon freedom of in
quiry and thought; nor would he
abandon his right to impart his
views to the young men who
came under his influence. So the
cleavage between Spinoza and
his community grew daily wider.
A certain fanatic attempted
to assassinate him, but Spin
oza avoided the blow in time,
and in fear of his life he shortly
afterwards left Amsterdam to
take up his residence with nom
Jewish friend. All hopes of re-
Cancellation between Spinoza and
the synagogue being now at an
end, the Rabbis and Presidency
took the extreme step of pro-
nouncing a decree of excommun-
ication against the young hereto.
Spinoza, who was away from
Amsterdam, when this action
against him was taken, received
the news of his accommodation
with indifference. But he could
not be altogether Indifferent to
the further action of the COM
munal authorities, who appealed
to the temporal powers to Danish
him from Amsterdam altogether.
In a pamphlet addressed to the
civil authorities he protested
against this decision, and strong
ly urged the right to freedom of
thought, the exercise of which
was no violation of the laws Of
the State. This defense formed
the foundation of his later great
work, "The Theologico-Political
Treatise, in which he further
elaborated the idea that freedom
of thought can be established
without prejudice to religion and
the peace of the State. Mean
while, he was supporting himself
in modest fashion as a polisher of
optical glasses.

About the same time he was
writing on the Cartesian philos-
ophy, and he set to work on a
treatise on philosophical method,
"De Intellectus Emendatione."
Then followed his Ethics"
which he finished in 1865.
He settled at the Hague, in
1870 in order to be near his pa
iron, John de Witt, who two
years later was assassinated. He
was then offered a professorship
of philosophy at the University
of Heidelberg, which he refused,
preferring to maintain independ-
ence as a simple workman. But
the occupation in which he en-
gagged was far from healthy for
a man of his consumptive tend
encies. He died in 1917 at the
age of forty-fve.

To all of us who knew him the loss
is irreparable. His teachings, deeds
and achievements will continue to live

At special meeting of the United
Hebrew Charities at Philadelphia,
Pa, it was decided that the name of
this organization be changed to "The
Jewish Welfare Society,"" Applica-
ton will be made to the courts at
once for appropriate change in the
charter.

Thus various influences worked
upon the mind of the young
thinker, filling it with doubts and
gradually estranging him from
the faith in which he had been
nurtured. He ceased to attend the
synagogue and to conform to
Jewish practice, and his example
worked havoc among a number of
young men with whom he asso-
ciated.
Reports of Spinoza's estrange-
ment from Judaism soon spread
abroad, causing the representa-
tives of the community to be very
much concerned for the effect
which his teaching was likely to
produce. While Jews were being
burned at the stake for their
loyalty to the Jewish religion,
Spinoza was in effect declaring
that the religion for which they
sacrificed their lives was an anti
quated error. 1t was felt that
stability of the Amsterdam COM
munity, built up as it had been
by refugees from Spain and Por-
tugal, and none too secure even
in Holland, was being endang-
cred by the young revolutionary.
So Spinoza was summoned be-
fore the College of Rabbis, and
admonished to return to the an
cient faith. AS he refused to al
ter his course of conduct, he was
laid under a light interdict. In
tercourse with him was forbidden
for thirty days. But the young
man still remained obdurate, and
then a private offer was made to
him of yearly pension of a
thousand gulden on condition
that he should take no hostile
step against Judaism, and should
show himself occasionally in the
synagogue.
Spinoza was not the man to
agree to such terms. No amount
of money would induce him to

THE STORY OF SPINOZA

Throughout the cultural CEN
tres of Europe there has lately
been noted reawakened interest
in Spinoza. While only a select
few can understand his philos-
ophy, there are vast numbers of
people who would prefer in
formation concerning the man
himself and his relations to the
community. The history of
Spinoza is pathetic one; the
figure of the lonely philosopher
is invested with romance which
appeals to the imagination of his
readers, even when they are deep
ly absorbed in the profundities
of his philosophic system.
The Talmudical College,
founded and directed in Amster-
dam by Saul Morteira and Men
asseh ben Israel, numbered
among it's pupils a brilliant youth
of Spanish origin named Baruch
Spinoza. who early made &C
quaintance with the writings of
Ibn Ezra, Moses Maimuni, and
Chasdai Crescas. With his Rab-
binical and Cabbalistic studies he
combined a devotion to the
sciences of mathematics and
physics and the philosophy of
Descartes, and at the same time
he came under the influence of
DR.. Van den Ende, who lectured
in Amsterdam on classical philos-
ophy.
Van den Ende had learned
daughter with whom Spinoza fell

CAVIAR AMERICANISM
Continued from Page u

1492 asks: "Say, Pop, do you know
what year youse Eyetalians discov-
cred our country?" It is reflected in
our humble desire to impart light
when we ask the caviar lady if she
knows that five Jews came in the
crew of Columbus; that the first
European to set foot on New World
soil was Luis de Torres, interpreter
with the Genoese, and Jew; that he
settled and died in Cuba-a first set
tier indeed.
Yes, the new generations may be
trusted to "carry on" The land
and it's liberty will not languish. The
perpetuation of the Great Expert
ment which began in 1776 depends
on all bringing to the nations prob
lens their united loyalty and efforts,
shoulder to shoulder, whatever their
creed or condition; to face the is
sues of a struggling world; to con-
front the "ugly, old and wrinkled
truth stripped clean Of all the vesture
that beguiles." We must inculcate
civic and personal ideals; we must
meet with broad humanitarian en-
deavor-in other words, as Ameri-
cans-the problems Of the weak, the
vicious, the improvident. We most
unremittingly seek to purge the slums
that the stream of social history be
not polluted.
Such is the obligation and privilege
of AUGMENTATION; such is the urge
of the divine spirit within man, as
evinced, among others, by the Jew
who preached the Sermon on the
Mount.
