SUGAR From Timber.

Speaking of the suggestion Of saw
dust sugar. a Ceylon planter says:
"While cannot vouch for the sweeten-
ing properties Of timber in general, l
know there are trees which yield su-
gar. We might have been sending you
considerable quantities from Ceylon
had an experiment made then been
more efficiently carried out. Palmyra
trees which yield sugary syrup, were
tapped, and modern machinery in
stalled to refine the Juice, but for some
reason the native workers could not
be prevailed on to carry the stuff down
from the forest to the works. There
Is still a future for palmyra sugar,
when the ill-luck is lived down.

A WAR CRIMINAL CONVICTED

The sentence of two years imprisonment imposed
on German major, charged by the French gov
ernment with ordering troops under his command
IN take no prisoners and to kill the wounded ad-
versaries who fell into their hands, and found
guilty by the German supreme court sitting at
Leipsig, is wretchedly inadequate. And 1t is PLAIN
that the only for his being punished at all
was the Germans feared that to let him go scot
free, as the lieutenant general from whom he al
legged he received his orders was permitted to do,
would dangerously arouse French anger.
There may be those who will say that 1t would
have been better not to have held the trial than
to allow it to become farce. And yet though
the punishment falls so far short OF what the
crime calls for, good purpose has been served
The major would not have been convicted, we may
be sure if the evidence against him had not been
overwhelming. And If there have been any Ger
mans who doubted the truth of the atrocity charges
made against their troops by the allies they must
now be convinced. And out of this may grow re-
pentance for their country's misdeels and desire
to make such amends are possible.

All of a sudden Uncle Wiggily
began to laugh.
II see what the trouble isl" spoke
the bunny. ut is the wind, blow
ing on Cherry Obs tail, that tips
him over. He stands with his back
to the wind and it gets under his

time that the wind blows. Come
and watch, Mother Robin"
Mrs. Robin looked and, truly,
each time the wind blew under her
little boys tail it tipped him over
in a front somersault.
ut never did that before,
though" said one Of the little robin
girls.
Because Cherry Obs tail was
never large enough before so the
wind could blow on it," laughed
Uncle Wiggily. "All he needs to
do is to face the wind instead OF
having it blow from behind him
and he will be all right. Turn
around Cherry OH" he called tc
the robin boy. And, as true as I'm
telling you, when Cherry oh turned
the wind flattened down his tail in
stead of blowing it up and he could
pick up all the seeds he wanted
without turning somersaults.
Then the robins were happy
again and all was we'll. And if the

What is the matter with Russia

such chaotic condiuuns exist in
those countries? There is only one
answer--illiteracy. In Russia it has
been found that over SO per cent
of the people can neither read nor
write, and in Mexico the condition
is practically as bad.
One of the cornerstones Of the
foundation of our nation is educa-
ton, and the stability Of our gov

upon the education of the mem-
bers who compose it. Germany's
motto was, "An unlimited amount
of education for the few who rule,
and only a very small amount for
the great majority" 1t is unneces-
sary to state Germanys fate.
And so, If the service which the
teacher renders is of no more val
ue than that of peanut politician,
our country in more ways that one
is on the retrograde. But, no, such
is not the case. 1t is JOY to
know that such persons as l.. x.
Hessler, Director Asplund Il hear
tily agree with the Journal that
the job of handling the publicity
for the T. P. A. Is too big for HIND
and a few others are in a very,
very small class by themselves;
and that the great majority of
the people in this wonderful land
of ours are supporting educationI
even to sacrifice, and appreciate
the inestimable service the teacher
is rendering. No one exerts q
greater influence upon the minds
of the boys and girls than the
teacher, and should not the servic-
es of the best equipped teacher OBJ
tainable be engaged for moulding
and shaping the lives of our future
citizens? i wonder If Mr.. Hessler
would be willing for "just any old
teacher" to instruct child OF his
or of any one in whom he is in
terested And yet he says the
teacher deserves no consideration
from those who hold the purse.
Living expenses have increased far
out of proportion to the increase
in teachers salaries, and yet the
teacher is expected to keep up just
as he or she always has, and If
they do not they are regarded as
"old fogy" and as back number
and are let out of their positions.
When the cost of living has re-
turned to normal, then, and only
then, should a wage reduction be
made in all professions and voca-
tions.
Wishing you continued success,
and thanking you for this oppor-
tunity of expressing some Of my
views, I am,
Most respectfully,
A TEACHER.
