Cumulative Forces

That man is clever who uses the strange and fatal forces, and is not trapped by them. There are giants in the land today as of old
 You may call them Natural Laws, Human Nature, the Inherent Nature of Things, the Inevitables, or what you will.
 For instance, there Is Gravitation. When you cast anchor it saves the ship; when you fall overheard sit drowns you.
 wild, it strikes the house with light ming.
 One of the biggest, steeliest and most irresistible laws that affect men, is the cumulative power of repetition. Sometimes, especially when it injures us, we call it hapit-
 And when we accomplish things with | it we call it Practice. | In either case, good or bad, it means an investment of power that comes upon the Doer. 1 With exercise of the Will, 1t grows as an oak from an acorn. At first feeble. hesitating. fiabby, it becomes by
 and by strong, quick, keen. We recognize this. of course, in mat ters of the hand, such as piano playing
 wood carving or cooking. But we do not always understand
 how this same law holds. and practice
 makes perfect. in thoughts and feel I ings, as well as deeds.
 But our emotions have their railway
 tracks and wagon ruts, as well as ouI
 actions 1 It is much better to feel a higf
 pleasure the hundredth time than the first.
 1 Genuine culture consists in selecting and developing those forms of enjoy
 ment that improve with repetition. The vulgar and uncultured Is always
 seeking something new--new songs
 new jokes, new people, new scenes 1 to shock the jaded and impotent facu1- 1 ties into life.
 But a sonata of Beethoven, a noe turne of Chopin, melody of Mendels' sohn or Schubert, is richer and 1oveliel after hearing it 20 years than at first l That is the classic element in any l thing, it's enduring power, it's elemen of growth, its everlastingness. That is why the sky remains beauti full, though it has been hanging ther for centuries-God made it. l The bored. the petu1ant and the pessi
 mistic. are they that have neglected tn
 law of cumulative culture; so the lax of disintegration has seized them.

serts will carry mail from New York to England or from New York to San Francisco in from ten to fourteen hours without danger to the mail or to per- sons. This device, he states is not costly to build and is very inexpensive to operate.
 Because of insistent warnings from his countrymen against patent lawyers and against officers of the army and navy having to pass on new ideas, Dimitri so far has refused to permit examination of models of his devices and has appealed to certain senators to assist him in placing the matter be- fore the proper authorities, while at the same time assuring him complete bro tection-New York World

KANSAS GIRL IS REAL TOWN-BUu1DER
 ENLISTS EVERYONE IN BOOSTING COMMUNITY
IN. E. A. Staff SpeeiaN

HAYS, Kan.-Ruth Fgiesbach is a town builder.
 Her position in Hays is secretary of the chamber of commerce but she has been a lot more than that-she has made Hays a worth while place to live in.
 Two years ago she took the job. To day her record of accomplishments stands like this:
 Increased the membership of the chamber of commerce from 15 to 4276.
 Organized business girls club.
 Organized a buildi.g and loan asso- citation. thus encouraging and building homes.
 Saved wheat crop in 1919 by bringing in trainloads of farm hands and dis tributing them among the farmers. Reorganized the city fire department
 Reorganized the cemetery associa- ton.
 Has given Hays a reputation as a convention town.
 Organized advertising campaign de- signed to make Hays best retail trade center in northwestern Kansas.
 Miss Flfesbach acts and feels toward Hays as she would toward a big fam l fly. She has the whole town pitching | hay for Hays" I "A chamber of commerce." says she "shouid be the promoter of general welfare, including the commercial, in dustrial civic and educational inter- ests of a community. l And what is community? Merely | a. big family
 Tact, optimism and enthusiasm are the keynotes of success.'' < She relies much on advertising. Ut makes no difference whether you are trying to convince people that your 1 town is the best to live in or whether 8you are trying to interest the com munity in voting bonds for new drainage system, advertising will do the work"
 Miss FIiesbach is thoroughly pleased over the success of what she calls mi nor projects But it's the big things that want to see pan out,' she says Some of these big things. that she is back of are:
 New postoffiee building. New railroad station
 New hotel. I New drainage system.
 Establishment of a big park Bringing in of new mills Erection of a large storage elevator that will help farmers. I Installation of an up to date teIe- phone system. Establishment of north and south I highway to be known as the Fort Hays | trail
 l "The greatest thing we have accom- I plished," says Miss Friesbach ''is oul ]! plan through which everyone works to- gether to build up the community fl which they have their homes"

ADDS NEW rERRoRs TO WAR

NGTON-ReyOlut1On or three phases of warfare and present methods of ship construction is assured if new devices now being offered to the gov ernment work as well in practice as in theory The devices are inventions by Jean Dimitri, a Rumanian by birth, but who gave distinguished assistance in the American intelligence service dur ing the war.
 The three war devices invented by Dimitri and which will be offered to the American army and navy are:
 A self propelled explosive devise capable of destroying an enemy battle fleet of any size and at any distance without detection of danger by the enemy.
 A device by means of which an air plane may locate a submarine in any depth of water or submarine com mander can locate the proximity and altitude of an airplane.
 A fighting ship plane radically diff ferent from anysexisting type that can be launched from and landed On the present type of plane carrying ship having landing platform.
 Under the new design of ship con- str'uction which Dimitri says he has discovered a warship or cargo vessel can cross the Atlantic ocean in three O1y S ciil0 N1il b0 tOanl S1I et IO,l iflQttl lower than ships now cost and can be operated much more economically.
 Because he has not yet secured pat ents on his inventions, Dimitri declined to give any technical details of the war devices or ship construction design be- yond the effects of their use
 He insisted, however, that if as- sured of protection in the matter ot patent rights he is prepared to prove conclusively to war and navy officials and shipbuilders that his devices will do ali he claims for them. His fight ing ship plane he proposes to enter ir the $35,000 competition now being staged under the direction of Com mander Hunsacker, U. s. N.
 In addition to these, Dimitri claims to have invented device by means ot which any of the vessels that have beer sunk in the past may be located or, fl carried on a vessel that is sunk, will ir a manner that he refuses to divulgt make possible its immediate location to passing ships.

HOW MUCH IS FOUR BILLION

Ray Baker. director of the mint, has more statistics at his tongues end than most anyone in the treasury depart fnent Give him Q start on any kind or money statistics and he will fairly run away with himself
 The other day. when it was an- nounced that the government would need four billion dollars to run its busi- ness during the coming year. someone breezed into Rays office and asked him:
 lust how much is four billion dol lars anyhow, Ray? ?e
 Ray wheeled around and answered rought -out of hand:
 "Oh. not great deal. It requires 2oe cubic feet of space to hold million dollars in silver. Multiply that by fou,- hundred thousand and you will have something like 1 million cubic feet of space that it would take for the four billion dollars. Some warehouse. eh 2"
 Now as to weight. A thousand dol lars in silver weighs about fifty nine hounds. Get out the old scratch pad and figure on four billion dollars in pounds and you will find that you have something like 236 million pounds, or I miss my guess.
 And now a word about the size of all that laid out, dollar after dollar, side against side. or end to end Every silver dollar measures an inch and a half across. Which maks something like six billion inches of silver dollars. Divide it by twelve and you have 5e0 million feet of dollars"
 And how much does that make in miles?' the demon pursuer asked. s5
 Say" Ray answered, "do I have to 1 do all this work myself? Divide it by 5,2S0 and let me know the result."--- Cleveland Plain Dealer. r Sweet potatoes are used as silage iL

The home of Mrs. John Hester
was the scene OF a delightful gat-
ering last Wednesday afternoon
when the Woman's Missionary
Society OF Methodist Church en-
tertained complimentary to the
other Missionary Societies. A
bout seventy five ladies were
present and a most interesting
program given. A represen-
tive from each society gave a
brief sketch of the work accom-
plished during the past year
After the program a discussion
was held regarding the or
ganization of a federated club
with a broader field than
can be covered by the church
societies. The idea met with
general approval and it was to
hold a meeting on Tuesday at
the home OF Mrs. Fred Hays, to
organize such a club. Refresh
ments were served at the close
OF the entertainment.
