TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY
Greece and Rome and Those Of
the Gothic Tribes.

There was this radical difference be-
tween the governments of Greece and
Rome and those of the Gothic tribes.
In the Former the state was every
thing, the individual nothing; the
state was thought to have a perfect
right to the property, liberty, and
even life, Of its citizens. In the lat
ter the Individual was everything and
the state comparatively nothing; all
rights were thought to exist, to inhere
by nature In the individual; and the
state could demand nothing from him
for public use without giving him an
equivalent. Here we find the funda-
mental principle of civil liberty; that
principle which has been so carefully
guarded in the English and in all the
Anglo-American constitutions. and
which was so happily and tersely ex-
pressed by Jefferson In the Declaration
OF Independence. Our rude Saxon an
cestors, though under a kingly govern
ment, had more real liberty. and q
more Just appreciation Of the true dig
nifty OF man, than had the polished cit
liens OF the republics Of the Mediter-
ranean. The legislative authority was
vested In the witenage-mote, or assem-.
bly, of wise men.-Dexter A. Hawkins.

DISTRIBUTE EXCESS PROFITS
Growers Of 1918 Wool Crop Beino
PAID as Rapidly as Possible by
Department Of Agriculture.

Excess profits made by dealers who
handled the wool clip in 1918 are be-
ing distributed to some 100000 wool
growers by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. 1t is estimated
that the total amount of such excess
profits is more than one million dol
lars, of which a little less than half
has been turned over to the bureau Of
markets for distribution at the present
time.
Some Of the dealers who accum,i-
lated excess profits have failed or re-
fused to refund the entire amount so
far, and the bureau Is working to Sc
cure the full amount. The department

LAID BIBLE SCENES IN CHINA
Native Artist Had No Conception OF
Any Other Land Outside OF
His Own.

In north Fukien province there dwelt
an artist who painted pictures on silk
for the gentry Of his little village. The
people in this secluded hamlet nestled
amid the hills had never seen automo-
biles or airplanes. nor did they take
the long journey to Shanghai to watch
the great steamers come In laden with
merchandise and messages from the
ports of the world. But they knew the
words of Confucius and Lao-tse and
they lived and died with simple dig
nifty as their fathers had done before
them. One evening the artist, who
had been working all day on a me-
mortal portrait strolled out into the
dark, cool street to refresh his tired
soul, writes Elsie f. We'll In Asia Mag
aZine. The tiny white church Of the
foreign god beyond the tea shop was
brilliantly lighted. The artist stood
a moment In the open door. The young
missionary was talking most eloquent
ly; he was not preaching, but he
seemed to be telling stories that were
as fascinating as those recited in the
bazaars. Almost in spite of himself
the artist sank unobtrusively into an
empty seat. For the first time he
heard some of the beautiful old stories
Of the Bible, which have held the peo-
pie of the West enthralled for 1000
years. And the artist returned to his
home and made pictures of the story
Of Noah and the flood, and Of the par
ables of the lost sheep and of the prod
igal son and of many others that were
in the book of the western missionary.
But he had never heard of the Pales-
tine. To him Noah was Chinese, and
the lost sheep belonged to a farmer of
his province and the prodigal son
might well have been a dissolute youth
of his own village.

A Lesson in Costume Design.

The Home Economics Class, High

For tall thin girl dressed in a
tight dress with long lines and
stripes:
There was young lady from Lynn
Who was so unusually thin,
In vertical lines she resembled the
pines,
In circular lines she would win,
For Stout short girl who wears
ruffles:
No where's a young lady from Pratt
Who's inclined to be rather fat.
Now ruffles are found to make her
look round e. =
But she's never thought about that.
Illustrating some angles at which
hats are worn:
I am pretty, but not very wise,
Ny gown by itself takes the prize,
But ! wear my chapeaux right over
my nose.
And extinguish my fetching bright
These hats that are worn too far
back,
Rest about where you'd carry pack.
Now wouldn't you love just to give
them a shove,
And procure them the style that they
lack.
A lesson in fitting hat crowns to
the head size:
Behold my hat is much too small
Although it's Just the rage this fall.
On some folks here, 'twould look
quite dear,
But me it does not suit at all.
This lady is pretty and trig,
But the crown of her hat is too big,
It makes her look small, when she
, wants to look tall.
And spoils the effect of her rig.
