Concerning Proverbs.

A proverb is seen at its best when
It is not over-familiar to u.s. Then
we can enjoy the sudden salt flavor
) Of cynicism, the searching irony that
made Bacon describe proverbs az

penetrate the knots Of business Of

France, as might be expected, Is
rich in the edge-tool variety Of prov
erb-though the edge, naturally, suf-
fers in translation. HE that cannot
pay let him pay" 1.-THE nearer the
church, the farther from God" Spain
has proverbs, with smoothness, a
characteristic blandness in place of
the sharp French rapier thrust. let
that which is lost be for God" "A

Bees Eaten for Revenge.

Bees are usually employed as manu-
facturers of honey which is every
where considered a delicious food, but
there are places where the bees them
selves serve as a food.
The negroes of Guiana, when stung
by q bee, proceed to catch as many as
they can and in revenge eat them. It
would be interesting to know what
happens as an effect Of the sting thus
taken internally.
In Ceylon the natives hold torch
under the bee swarm hanging to a
tree, catch them as they drop, then
carry them home. boil them and eat
them.-Popular Science Monthly.

Of the Ladies Home journal, has re-
tired from business, while still in full
working vigor.
why?
Just because he wanted to play"
and because he refused (as he said to
drop in the harness. 8
Play may mean frittering away
precious hours in proftless and even
unhealthy pastimes, dangerous to self,
family and to society.
But to Mr.. Box, Play means
cultural diversions, more time for good
friends, fine sportsmannship, good
health, and for the satisfaction of his
stored-up longings and dreams of many
years, years when Business would not
give him the leisure time to play.
We fool ourselves, often, and are
content with talking about Business
as the Game of Life desperately
grim game, and SO we go on with it,
and drop in the harness"
Mr.. Box is very wise but he can
afford to be. He retires. What of
hundreds of thousands of us who cam
not yet afford to retire?
We can also be wise, within the limi-
tations of Business We can. Play, in
our leisure time, sensibly, proftably.
Play is today being preached as never
before. Ut is hailed as great national
tonic, medicine. Walter Camp urges
one kind of Play regular health

Christian Hypocrisy.

One of the unexpected, but withal
typical effects of the "holy war; just
over is forcibly brought to mind by the
news from Oberammergau, Bavaria, to
the effect that because of lack of food
the historic Passion Play cannot be
given until 1922 and the vow made
centuries ago by the poor peasants to
portray the life story of Jesus Christ
every 10 years, must be broken.
Fought in the name of humanity
what a blasphemy!), the war has left
Europe so impoverished and famine
stricken that to give this wonderful
performance would mean taking food
from the mouths of already starving
children. to feed the thousands of pill
grims who attend it every decade.
The ardently religious inhabitants of
the little village in the Bavarian
mountains have faithfully carried out
the sacred vow of their forebears in the
past, using whatever money that has
been realized for humanitarian pur-
poses. But the symbol of Christianity
has suffered most from the late "holy
war; and Frau Lang, wife of the
native actor who portrayed the Christ
in 1900 and again in 1910, says:
1T is practically impossible to
present the play when the people of
Oberammergau, in common with those
of all Germany, are half starved. We
exist on food usually given cattle. Our
families barely keep body and soul to-
gether. Due to the blockade, our
children are starving. Shoes and cloth
ing are unobtainable. Our American
friends do not seem to even suspect the
terrible conditions here
This is, indeed, beautiful state of
affairs in civilized, Christianized
world!

Playing the Fool.

Der of pointed remarks that should help
to clarity the martial atmosphere
hovering over our country and es-
pecially surrounding the powers that
be in the national capital. We quote
from the magazine mentioned:
Playing the fool-that's what, as a
nation, we seem inclined to do. We
haven't had enough war. We evident
ly relished the long lists of dead and
wounded that used to fill up the
columns of the daily press. We want
still heavier taxes. We have grown
fond of wasting money. We want to
waste few million more. So we have
begun to talk about the greatest navy
in the world. We intend to be ready
for Japan. If the leading nations of
the earth, after these past six years,
haven't sense enough to take some
effective steps to reduce armaments
and to end war, they deserve to be
abandoned by Heaven to destroy
themselves.
Think of the demand of the Secretary
of the Navy for $50 millions of dollars,
and the Secretary of War asking for
500 millions for the year 1921! Four
schoolboys, one an American, one an
Englishman, one Frenchman, and
one japanese, could come to an agree
ment that would make war an i'm
possibility. But hand the.matter over
to the diplomats and the case is de-
clared hopeless.

Safeguarding World Peace.

In view of the great slandero GUS
efforts made to convince the public
that the Nonpartisan League farmers
opposed the recent war, we can hardly
be called favorable to war by the kept
press If we point out the weak spot in
present day efforts toward promoting
world peace
With our great nations keyed up to
producing more than they can con-
sumo, it looks to us as if the world were
headed for wicked times. What, pray,
are we going to do if our Western
farmers cannot SCI! as they formerly
did to Europe and if our manufa cturers
and city workers can produce in six
months all our country can buy in a
year? Cannot any one see that the
want and misery thus produced is the
driest of tinder for war flames? Is
any one certain that for us war would
not be preferable to this misery of over
production if there is no other way out?
But there is another way out! The
reason why we do not hear more of it
is that it cuts to the root of our big
business system and that it demands
a moral awakening which our country
as whole is in no mood to embrace.
1t seems as if the peoples of civiliza-
tion would rather wipe themselves out
than admit and act on the theory that
moral law rules the world.
The only way we can stop war is to
take the long, long journey back to the
brotherhood of man basis right here
at home. We have got to give the
common man whether farmer or city
worker the full value of his toll so that
the one can buy back the full equiva-
lent Of his production from the other.
We can do this by putting big business
ona service rather than a profit basis.
The farmer can then find a market
fora his production and the city man
work all the year round. There will
then. be no export of capital to defend
with the navy or surplus goods to be
forced on another people with aero
planes and poison gas. We have these
alleged surplusses only because people
cannot buy what they want at the
prices demanded by our monopolists.

In Desperate Stroits.

President Atterbury of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and lieutenant of j. P.
Morgan & Co. broke into the confer
ence of the United States railroad labor
board last week with an ultimatum
that the railroad labor laws of the
country had to be treated as scraps of
paper if the roads were not to go
bankrupt.
Rail labor protests reduction on the
ground that it has never gotten it's
wage up to cost of living, that during
the war satisfactory adjustments could
not be made, and that declining prices
have not yet made the inadequate wage
living wage.
The most that the railroad fnanciers
claim to be able to save by pairing rail-
road labor to the bone is $500, ,000, 900,
and hence one can hardly imagine
them escaping bankruptcy if labor is
gouged as we'll as the general public.
The plain truth is that the railroads
are in bad shape, that return to private
exploitation was collosal error forced
by few financial pirates and the
general fear of encouraging production
for service, and that insthe near future
tn, government has got to take them
back.
