Canture a Young Eagle

Mike Aspenson of near Mastering
drove TO Viroqua Saturday. In his
car was a rare object which excited
much interest--a young eagle which
he had purchased from some boys who
had captured the bird at the Mississ-
;ppi River. "Fools enter in where
angels fear to tread" can probably be
said of the boys. Had the mother
eagle been at home at the time of the
capture, the youngsters would have
Jared badly.

URGE BENEFIT TO HAWAIIANS
Rehabilitation of Race by Providing Land Ownership Is Plan of
 Senator Wise.

Honolulu, T. H.-Rehabilitation of the Hawaiian race by placing govern ment lands at that peoples disposal will go to congress in a new form, if a concurrent resolution with concrete proposals attached introduced by Sena- tor John Wise weathers legislative investigation and debate.
 Rehabilitation proposals went to the last congress, but languished in the senate at Washington after passing the house when strong opposition de- veloped from the landed interests of Hawaii.
 The new plan would provide for the creation of Hawaiian homes commits sion to father the project; the conf1n- ing of grants of land to Hawaiians and half Hawaiians, instead of to those down to one thirty second Hawaiian, and an experiment with pineapple lands of the island of Molo- kai for five years before the scope of the project is enlarged to take in other acreage.

DRUG FORMULAS
 PUT IN CHINESE
Translation of United States Pharmacopoeia Will Aid
 Drugmakers and Scientists.
GERMANY TRIED TO GRAB II
Attempted Before the War to Corner Drug Trade in China--Use of Diff ferent Standards Has Been
 Confusing and Dangerous.

Philadelphia. - The United States Pharmacopoeia is being translated into the Chinese language, it has j lst been announced by the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. Through the adoption of the American standard formulas for drugs and medi- cines, which the pharmacopoeia will give, it is expected American drug manufacturers will benefit greatly.
 Professors and alumni of the local institution, according to the statement it issued, are contributing more than any other city or institution to the work.
 The statement follows:
 Germany, before the World war, tried every means within her power to have the German pharmacopoeia translated into Chinese so that Ger man manufacturers might export to China drugs of German standards. It Is understood that since the war Great Britain has been trying to have the British pharmacopoeia introduced for the benefit of British manufacturers.
 Praises Philadelphia Body.
 That both of them have failed is due not to the efforts of American drug manufacturers, but to the merit of the work of the pharmaceutical labora- tories of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy pharmacopoeial revision committee, of which E, Fullerton Cook, director of the pharmaceutical labora- tories of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, is chairman.
 "The United States Pharmacopoeia is a collection of official formulas of standard drugs and chemicals for making various compounds or simple preparations IL is published by the United States Pharmacopoeial conven- tion. under the authority of the gov ernment, and, under the national food and drug act of 1906, it provides the legal standards of strengths, qualities. proportions, etc
 Thirty Different FormuIaries.
 sThere are about thirty different pharmacopoeias in the world, the most important being the British, French, Belgian. Swiss. German, Austrian an l American.
 "Hitherto the Chinese have use German, British, French and America pharmacopeial standards indiscrimi- nately. according to the training of the particular druggist who filled the pre- scription. This has led to confusion and in some cases is likely to prove dangerous 10 the purchaser.
 "With the Chinese government sane tioning the new pharmacOpoeia uni formity and safety will prevail. Ameri- can manufacturers will have the in- side track and the American scientists especially those of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, will be accorded added recognition for their services to humanity"

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?

THE USE OF ANY"

CT KNOW the family we'll, and the

 When the sentence first quoted is analyZed-that is, taken apart and ex- amined eritieally-it seems to say that the youngest son is brighter than himself; for of course, he is one, or any one, of the family. Such a state ment is absurd, and to express clearly the meaning of the writer or speaker 1t is necessary to insert some word or words (such as "other" or the rest of'0 to show the comparison between the member of the family under dis cussion and the rest of the family.

THE WOODS By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
INSPIRATION.

A POET sang of human things, "A Of gorgeous queens and might
 kings,
 And gems that glisten He praised the brassy front of show, The rubys fire and diamonds glow, Yet none would listen. He wove him many labored rimes Of ended days and coming times, Of deeds that stirred him; He wrote of pomp and circumstance, The flap of flag, the light of lance, But no one heard him. And thus he learned to know the pain Of him who sings but sings in vain To ears averted, Like one who wakes his sweetest tone To unresponsive walls of stone In halls deserted. When all the merry melodies He sang his fellow men to please Brought none to hear him, He turned from splendor and from pelf To sing a measure for himself, A song to cheer him. He wrote song of long ago A vale where yellow lilies grow Beside a river,
  Where meadowland and waters meet And rushes quiver He wrote a song of childhood days, Of pleasant shade and wooded ways And summer quiet A bridge that spanned a gushing Till, A humble cot upon a. hill. With roses by it. Twas not the creature of his art, This song upwelling from his heart In moments lonely; With memory his eyes grew dim, For then his own soul sang to him, The poet only. But other mortals heard his tale Of woodland path and verdant vale To heaven Winging, And men who scorned his song before Sought out the poets open door To hear him singing Thus came to him his mistress Fame, Clad in her aureole of flame And smile supernal; No more 6 feetng vision now, She placed upon the singers brow The kiss eternal. And then the poet, fool and sage, Turned gently from his written page, While braves thundered, And, when he saw the listening throng Of those who once had spurned his song He greatly wondered.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PoLTRooN."

A T THE time of the drafts "A during the Civil war and the World war there were few men who attempted to avoid compulsory military service by cutting off their trigger or first finger, arguing that this would prevent their being mustered in- ' to the army. On no less an au- thority than Archbishop Trench, a deep student of English, we find that similar practice was responsible for the introduction into the language of the word ''poltroon" as a synonym for ar rant coward.
 "In 0lden times" states the archbishop, "a self-mutilation of this description was not infre- quent on the part of some cow ardly shirking fellow who wished to escape his share in the de- fense of his country. He would cut off his right thumb. become incapable of drawing a bow and thus useless for the wars. It was not to be wondered at that Englishmen should have looked with extreme disdain upon one who had so basely exempted himself from service nor that the Latin phrase police truncus' --'one deprived of his thumb, later shortened to the two-syl- lahled 'poltroon," should after ward have become a name of sco,n affixed to every base and ccvarsily evader of the duties and dangers of life"
