Save Enough Seed To Last Two
Years.

Wisconsin is having one Of the best
corn years in history. A favorable
season is Fastening the ripening of
the crop, and there is every indica-
ton that there will be plenty of seed
corn for next spring. But despite
these favorable prospects e. D. Hold
en- OF the agronomy department Of
the University of Wisconsin, is urg-
ing the farmers Of the state to clay
by liberal stock Of seed. Wiscon-
sin has had severe lessons in the past
few years on the subject of seed corn
shortage.
eve will have only ourselves to,
blame if bad season next year
leaves us without seed for the follow
ing spring and forces us into a mad
scramble to secure anything in the
way Of seed corn which can be dug
up from the feeding cribs of the
neighboring States" declares Mr.
Holden. "This has happened in the
past; let us see that it does not hap
pen again. Save seed corn enough
for two years.
Mr.. Holden is asking the growers
to take extra care in selecting and
storing the seed ears this fall in or
der to increase the Yigor and stand
of the crop next summer. By going
through the field before the crop is
harvested and picking good-looking
typical ears from large, healthy,
leafy stalks, seed of strong character
can be secured

Wild Elephants Against tiorsemen.

In Burmah wild elephants are pit
ted against hOrsemen and elephant rid
ers, and often rOut their trained reIa-
tives by the reckless fury Of their at
tacks. The "cOrnac" has to stick to
his seat, while his hutti quirts and
careens around like an exploding loco
motive or encounters his adversary
with the force Of catapult. Fight
ing elephants guard their trunks by
doubling them up like a clinched fist,
while using their heads like battering
rams or they stand shoulder to Shout
der, after the manner of the fighting
bOars, and after a prelude Of side
long pushes, suddenly heW away at
each other with their tusks. During
the process Of the duel the hutti seems
to forget or ignore his rider, but if he
has received a fatal wound the
cornacs have to jump off and run for
their lives, experience having shown
that wounded elephants generally ex-
pire in a paroxysm Of rage.-Detroit

Goethe's Superb Faust.

Christopher Marlowe, an English
dramatic poet of the Sixteenth CEN
fury, was the first to- use the old leg
end Of Faustus, and he deals rather
gently with the character Of Mephis-
topheles, making him sadder and
more dignifed than he appears in
Goethe's drama. 1t was the German
poet who placed that demoniacal be-
ing before the world for all time, who
created that sneering, sardonic indi-
vidual, powerful and exacting, who
makes Faust sign their contract with
blood; brimful of vanity, anxious to
show his power by the magic creation
of wine drawn from wooden table,
enjoying life as a man, yet retaining
all his diab0lical characteristics.

WORDS or GERMANlC ORIGIN
Many of Today's Most Common Ex-
pressions Can Easily Be Traced
to the angles"

Perhaps the saddest of English
words-the word which brings up more
thoughts of grief and fear than any
other words death" This word
did not come to US from the classic
lands of Greece and Rome. 1t was
one of the words of the Germanic peO-
pies and has been English ever since
English was. The Angles, who came
to Britain from what is now south
eastern Schleswig, called the land that
they invaded and helped to conquer
"Angleland" and from that word
England" "Anglische" or a word
something like it, came to be Eng
lish." These Angles, and all the other
Germanic peoples, had this word
death long before the English Ian
guage was spoken, and in the earliest
English we find the word spelled
"deth" and sometimes "deeth'' and no
doubt from the spelling "deeth" we
arrived at spelling death
"Skull" was another word of our
Germanic forebears and it meant
cup, bowl, or drinking vessel, and from
the shape of mans head, as it APP
peared long after death, the relic came
to be called skull" because its form
suggested Skull" a 'skele," or
"skal" or drinking vessel. We often
read of northern barbarians who
drank out of skulls" but it does not
necessarily follow that they drank out
of the skulls of the dead men, but
merely from their household skulls"
"skOls," or "skals," which were their
bowls or cups of wood or Stone

NOW TIME TO GROW
IN HAPPINESS

The Census of 1900 shows a great
growth in population, especially IN
the towns and cities.
We know from the bank statistics
and from many other sources, that
the United States has grown ire
mendously in wealth. The people
have more savings deposits, more
bonds and stocks, more life insurance
and more of everything that shows
great material prosperity.
Now, also we are given figures to
show we have more people. Our cities
are growing at a rapid rate, SO far as
population and wealth are concerned.
Is that the only way a city should
grow? Should it not grow in beauty
in the things that make life more
worth living, in conveniences for rec
reation, in social activities, in those
things which uplift the spirit and es-
pecially should it not grow in the pro-
motion of health and the reduction of
the death rate?
The spirit of the times is not alone
for bigger things and more things,
| but it is especially for better things.
That really is "the great unrest"
The people want better things, better
living and growing conditions They
are not satisfied merely to see their
city grow large in popula ton and
business They want it to grow also
in those things which make life more
pleasant and more free from sickness
and from the distress caused by loss

1t costs more to be dirty than to
keep clean. Consider the toll of
disease, fire and depreciation,
through filth, disorder and neglect.
Dust and CRIME are said to be re-
aponsible for more than so per cent
OF the wear and tear on clothing and
house furnishings.
1t is not surprising, then, that
the people of America have been
thoroughly aroused to the necessity
for community cleanliness. When
the National Clean Up and Paint Up
Bureau first sounded the call to
arms on May I, 1912, there was an
almost instant response.
Today more than 1000 cities and
towns with probable average of
] 900 volunteer workers, or total of
100000 men, women and children,
are working together for a COM
mon cause--''to make this commun-
ity as clean as its cleanest home"
This is but the power of an idea
multiplied by the multitude. 1t is
the mass idea extended and length
est development, and its visible re-
suits represent the finest and most
practical kind of altrui5m.
1t was not difficult to convince
! these 100000 co-operators that
their united efforts would enable all
of them to enjoy greater economies
in living. Every housewife realized
that dirty streets and yards in her
community were a real burden on
her time and purse. The dust from
the streets was blown into her home.
1t found Judgment in the curtains,
draperies and carpets. 1t made her
| housekeeping an endless burden.
No home owner would attempt
to clean up the entire community,
, gether in a concerted effort to clean
up, the result is apparent to all of
them.
; Neither was it difficult to convince
! the City Government and the bust
ness interests that a consistent eff
fort to clean up and keep clear
would be a good thing for every
! body. 1t has made the city more
| sanitary, eliminated fire risks, re
! duccd insurance premiums, increas-
ed the price and self-respect of al
citizens, and made the city a more
i desirable place in which to live.
The splendid community spiri
which has been developed in these
1000 cities and towns has practical
ly remade many communities
Streets are repaired, parks are beau
tilted, ramshackle fire traps are raz
ed. Millions of homes and public
buildings have been repaired, re
painted and restored to beauty anc
J usefulness.

These are some of the fruits of
community cooperation. The COM
plete history of the National Clean
Up and Paint Up Campaign will
never be written, but it is sufficient
to say that it is the greatest coop
erative movement for community
welfare and betterment that ever
has been undertaken, and the most
commendable and significant thing
about it is that these great bodies of
people give their energy, their en-
thusiasm and their services to this
work without pay and solely for the
public service.
