CULTURE IN ITS INFANCY HERE

II IS, lAiIlk, true 10 say that the material progress of America has enormously surpassed the intellectual progress. That is why a European, visiting in the United States. is dis concerted to find men of immense power in business talking like chill dren in an elementary school about literature and art
 It was this absorption in material things which. though it has made American domestic life easily the most comfortable in the world, left America so completely at the mercy Of the old and ravenous diplomats of Europe in the peace conference. Culture, given by contemplation of art and literature, is the power to know and understand human nature and motives. Centuries of familiarity with the garnered beauty and learn ing of the world have gone to the making of the European statesman. but only a generation or two of in innate knowledge of great businesses and machinery had gone to the mak- ing of the American delegation.
 The great expanse of America, the fact that its resources are still unde- veloped, and that fortunes seem very easily to be made by men whose wits are both agile and accommodating. make the reappearance of its high general culture difficult. The stan dards of America are constantly be- ing displaced by the irruption of new ly enriched men, who pass from pow erty to affluence so rapidly that while they have the means for life of cul- ture. they have not mentality for 1t.

RETAIL CLOTH|ER
 TELLS PRESIDENT
 OF HEAVY LOSSES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. April 22.-Presi- dent Harding was told by Andreas Burkhart, president of the National Association of Retail Clothiers today that the position of the retail trade is now extremely precarious," and it is question as to how long retail business can exist under prevailing conditions.
 The conference was arranged with the president at the request of MT. Burkhard, who said he desired to re- flute the statement in the recent re- port of the federal trade commission that retailers are reluctant to take losses on merchandise purchased a, peak prices. He told the executive that the dealers are facing another season of new losses instead of net profits.
 Speaking later at a meeting of locaI clothing men and haberdashers, Mir Burkhard reviewed at length tho price reduction movement begun last fall and declared that merchants had sustained heavy losses. He held out little hope for the immediate future unless there is a business revival.

SNAKES USEFUL TO FARMERS Prey on the Gophers, Which Do Such Enormous Damage to the
 Growing Alfalfa.

A fullgrown bullsnake in a Kan sas alfalfa field is worth at least $2.50 a month to the farmer on whose land he lives. This is the statistical deduction of experts at the Kansas State Agricultural col lege. They arrive at it in this way:
 There are on the average six go- phers to the acre, and they damage the alfalfa crop to the extent of about $2.50 month. A bullsnake of this kind can keep an acre free.
 The calculations are those of F.. L. Hisaw, mammalogist at the col lege, and J. B. Rogers of its zoology department.
 "A fullgrown bullsnake," says MT. Hisaw, ''is capable of eating all the gophers on an acre of alfalfa in one month, and during the six warm months of the year is able to clear SIX acres.
 "Alfalfa growers should take seri- ous thought of the economic impor- tance of these harmless snakes. By protecting them great deal of time and money can be saved in trapping and poisoning gophers and other rodents.
 'The bullsnake feeds on rats and mice when around the barn or gran- ary. The only return he asks for his loyal and valuable service is the right to live an undisturbed life"

"sEEs" IN THE DARK.

At a distance of 600 feet, in total darkness, Samuel o. Hoffman of San Francisco asserts that with the aid of delicate instrument for the detection of heat waves he can tell whether one, two or several persons are present. His invention is com bination of thermopiles, a reflector and a galvanometer. The instru- ment, which acts much as a sound detector, is sensitive to heat waves and can be developed to the point where a complete silhouette of an objective can be given, showing the outlines from which heat waves ema- nate. It can also be used for the detection of airplanes thousands of feet in the air.

MEXICO FIGHTS ILLITERAcY.

1literacy in Mexico is decreasing slowly under the efforts of volunteer teachers. Over 1,5OO teachers have enrolled for the task, and probably 1000 of them have been accomplish ing good results. About 10000 il- lterates have been fortunate enough to receive an impulse toward im- proving themselves. The National university, which is at the head of the national education system, grants certificates to these volunteer teachers, who serve without pay. Some others, without any formal recognition from the university, have been doing good work where they can, among their servants and neighboring poor.

Night Service

Sunday night was Community
night at Grace Methodist church
and large audience was present
TO enjoy and benefit bv the splen-

was augmented by a trombone
solo by Roderick Darling.
The pastor, Rev. DR.. George W,
Hylton, delivered the last Of Sc
ries on "Christ's Program of Re

those present were Selectmen
Charles N. Whitney and l.. B.

DR.. Hylton made an eloquent
plea for the reconstruction and
betterment of the community
along the lines laid down by Christ
in His gospel. DR. Hylton said in
part:
Religion and patriotism have
ever gone together. The two are
inseparable. The life and strength
of nation is at every point the
product of religious forces acting
upon it. To the atriot the call to
serve and to suffer for his country
has ever been recognized as the
call of God. Cancel the religion
of Washington, Lincoln or Roose-
welt and you sap the springs from
which their patriotism foweu
That which today sends forth to
