full times, of all times, for research
and discovery are those times of the
deepest gloom and those days of the
most stress and strain. The history
Of humanity has been one of con-
tinual looking back and thanking God
for the rough and dark ways, which,
in turn, forced us into super-work and
ingenuity and which finally lead us
into the better way.
The world is continually crying out
for formula, but there is no formula
for success. Life is too big and too
infinite to be circumscribed and con-
tanned by formula. Success does
not stand in the market place and point
out to every man a sure way. All of
life is matter Of personal election and
personal selection. 1t Is only the blind
and the dumb man that does not elect
and select for himself.

is foreign to nothing. There are soils
and years and are still unexhausted.
The possibilities Of an acre of land
are infinite. The plants that can grow
out Of it are infinite. There is no
other profession that creates within
the heart Of man such a passion to go
into it as does this profession Of az.
riculture, and it is all because of the
essential richness, the adaptibility, and
the possibilities that lie within it. If
we fail in 1t it is not the soils fault
There may be temporary factors mak-
ing for retardation and trouble, but in
the end the soil in the hands of genius,
is going to win out!

In Memory of Alvin ID. Powers

Corporal Alvin IDl Powers, son OF
j. II. and Mary 10. Powers, was killed
In action while serving with the
American EXpeditionary Forces in
France. His body arrived home Thurs
day, April 21 and was Inferred in War
rior Creek cemetery on Friday. A
large crowd of sorrowing friends and
relatives saw him tenderly laid to rest
and paid their tribute OF respect to
their soldier friend and schoolmate
He heard humanity's clear call,
And knew the voice divine;
He gave his life, he gave his all,
In deadly battle line.
The silent stars look down
Where lies this loyal son;
In frost and dew they weave crown,
OF honor he has won.
A NII1GE.

Romance. I"

TO my mind the possibilities of the
soil carry more romance than does
any other industry. Pardon me for
making personal application and il
lustration. 1t was myself who first
listed Fulghum Oats, Iron and Brab-
ham Cow Peas, Abruzzi Rye, Hundred
Day Velvet Beans, Bush Velvet Beans,
Biloxi Soy Beans, Brown Top Millet,
and Carpet Grass. This inductory
work is to me passion. These things
agriculture. Next year | have fine
list Of these inductory things. 1t costs
more to exploit these things than is the
profit that comes out Of them, but the
romance Of a profession does not lie
in dollars and cents. If we do not get
romance out Of life it is our fault. The
good thing in agriculture is that the
romance way is a scientific way, and
science is basic The trouble with so
many of us is that we will not read
and also that we Will not follow
science. Take the close spacing of
cotton, for instance, six or eight inches
in the row, and. in fact a plan that
largely eliminates this costly thing of
chopping out cotton. 1t has been
demonstrated thousand times and a
world Of publicity has been given to ii
as one Of the best means for weevil
control and the earlier production in
the season Of the boil on the cotton
plant, and yet am doubtful if half
dozen men in this county today are
following this scientific rule.

many hundreds Of millions of years
it took to make coal, and oil, and phos-

and all manner of building materials,
but true it is that they are all here.
Each one of these creations carries
adoption in hundreds Of reactions
about which we are just beginning to

The Man Factor.
1t is said that Yankee can make
his living on Plymouth Rock, and the
marvellous history, indeed, Of all New
England is the history of rock-ribbed
country. Every man can live off the
crumbs that fall from the table, or,
on the other hand, he can sit in at the
table himself. A man can be man
from his neck down at two dollars a
day, or from his neck up--which may
mean just as much as he cares to make
it. In other words, it is the man fac
tor in life that counts.
Failure and Success.

The evening schools Of our ma
ton are putting democracy into
education>and education into democ-
racy to a much greater degree
than any other single factor In our
national life"
So says DR.. r. x. -o'Hara, of the
knights OF Columbus Evening
School He continues:
only a little more than half of
the children In American cities COM
plete the elementary grades, IL is
said Forty-three per cent Of those
who enter the first grade in one of
our largest cities do not reach the
eighth grade, and 40 per cent do
not complete the eighth grade. Less
than 10 per cent Of the pupils who
enter the early grades of American
public schools finish a high school
course.
Uneducated Voters.
The remaining 30 per cent of
Americans who do not finish a high
school course are the persons who
in the last analysis settle the ques-
tions of war and peace, of inter
national credits and taxation, of the
tariff and the Indebtedness Of the

would serve to fill In the gaps and
to broaden out her education.
.As a result OF the advice Just
mentioned, she has decided to en-
ter college extension, courses In
ma thenatics and a foreign langu-
age in the knights of Columbus
Evening School during the coming
term.
when one stops to think about
the matter, as one too seldom does
1t Is as unreasonable to say that
ones education should cease when
one reaches the age of IA or IL or
22 as to say that one need not take
food or physical exercise after one
has grown up because ones body Is
already developed. The schools and
colleges really possess something
that Is worth while. II is not
something that can be poured into

railroads. Moreover, they are the
persons who should settle these
questions. They are tAe very
greatly preponderating majority Of
those whose interests should be con-
served in those matters. and expert
ence has taught US that those who
look after their own interests have
their interests better protected than
have those who permit others to
care for them.
The deplorable fact is not that
the 80 per cent settle the questions
Of war and railroads. 1t is rather
that they are so poorly equipped
for settling such questions. In or
der to make democracy successful
more education must be put into
democracy. But in order to make
education successful in turn, more
democracy must be put into edu-
cation.
Reasons for Leaving school.
There are, of course, plenty of
reasons why such a smalr percent
age of the whole population re-
ceive a high school education. 1t
may be that the pupil is too dull
to profit by the teachers intelli-

r
genee, or that he is too intelligent
to- profit by the teachers duliness.
He may be physically underde-
veloped and unable TO support the
strain, of constant attendance at
school or he may be so strong
as to tempt selfish pa
rents to sacrifice his future welfare
in order to make lighter their pres
ent burden of securing a livelihood.
But whatever the reason may be-,
both the uneducated citizen and the
State suffer. 4,
High schools and colleges have
been developed at a great expen-
diture of effort and money on the
assumption that these institutions
contained something that was val
liable to the average American
citizen; and then after this .expen-
diture has been made the, average
American citizen has been excluded
from their benefits because In his
childhood either he or his parents
could not appreciate the advantages
of education. Democracy has been
banished from higher education.
Resuming the Work.
Fortunately in Washington a
