Take this advice from william
Rabe. who sees again, after being
blind 80 years.
During his 30 years OF blindness
science learned how 70 restore his
sight. A surgeon cut out a part OF
each eye which had become Opaque,
shutting out the light A special
glass lens, worn spectacle fashion,
replaces 10.
Rabe was well-to-do when he be-
came blind; was a merchant tailor
and owned considerable real estate;
also he had seven children. But
during his blindness his fortune and
family scattered.

being caught beneath surplus supplies
Of millions of dozens OF eggs. Lower

to the greatly increased activity of the

itants would have to eat an egg a day
until January to wipe out the surplus
that is being increased by arrivals Of
100000 weekly.
Spectators were said to have been
holding eggs at loss Of three cents

eggs in storage than at this time last
year.
Storage eggs, which last year
brought 80 cents a dozen by the case

before any announcement of the en-
gagement of the 16-year-oId daughter
Of Harold F. Mccormick, to Max Oser,
proprietor of a riding academy in

riding master is not known.
Harold F. Mccormick. the father,
is expected to arrive here this after
noon from New York with his elder
daughter Muriel. He is quoted in dis

his only concern in the affair is his
daughters happiness. Mrs Edith
Rockefeller Mccormick, the mother,
has refused comment on the re
ports of her daughters engagement.
According to reports here, Oser, al
tho he conducts a riding academy. is

Farm Council Head Says
Farmer congressman Best.
Says International Investment
Bankers Profiteered in War.

Chicago, Feb. 18-The money
powers of this country manipulated
by the international investment bank
ers decreed that the farmers should
be made to bear the brunt of the war
costs, Benjamin C. Marsh, managing
director of the Farmers National
council told members of that body, in
session here today.
During the past three years. he
said. farmers have lost $40, 100000
thru the deflation in prices for farm
crops and thru the foreclosing of
MORTGAGES and high freight rates.
THE profiteers of America jointly
obtained" he said, "$250,000 net
profits for every American boy who
lost his life during the world war"
The speaker said that freight rates
under the Cummins-Esch laws have
increased about one-third while farm
prices have gone down about one-half.
1.-THE bright spot in our national
sis the fact that a group of fearless
senators and congressman from agri-
cultural states have thrown down the
challenge to the control of our gov
eminent, agriculture, commerce and
industry as well as of banking and
credit, by Americas privileged mon
opoHsts.
These senators and congressman,
known as the agricultural bloc, have
made a splendid fight for the farmers
rights. They have been opposed by
the administration. they have not been
able as yet to obtain the fundamental
legislation which farmers must have,
but they are the farmers only reliance
at the national capitol"

Approached with a question as to

gestion that every church and parish
house in the city have one or two or
three coy corners for the girls who
live in hall bedrooms.
Must Aid Cupid.
For" he said, young people never
have made love and never will under
an arc light"
In place of legislation he would
substitute a comfortable parlor. The
church has had it's chance at legisla-
ton, he accuses, and it is very evil
dent that the legislative method of
correcting divorce as a menace to
family life is wrong.'
Its bett-r part he suggests,
would be to give two young people
a coy corner by themselves where
they may become acquainted"
Practices His Doctrines.
He woodland does:
Bring men and women physicians
into his pulpit once year to lecture
to the young men and young women
on physical fitness.
Address every congregation once
during the winter on the elements Of
love, eourtship and marriage.
Open the doors of the churches in
order that the couples who are walk
ing the streets may have a chance to
sit down and talk.
Physical Education Needed.
1.-The church has almost totally neg
lected physical instruction" the Rev.
Thompson said. 1T has taught doc
trine but it has omitted the lesson
the basis for estrangement after mar
riage.
Young people should be informed
concerning the nature and elements of
love. They should be told that the
purpose of courtship is for both the
man and the woman to gain all neces-
sary information concerning each
other before coming to a priest or
minister to be pledged for life. Last
ly. there should be explained to theH
the solemnity Of the marriage
pledges"
The pledges to which he refers are
love and cherish until death do us
part" and Keep thee only unto her
or unto him." The first, he says,
shows that marriage should be an in
dissoluble life partnership, the second
that it is tremendously exclusive.
No Place to Entertain.
But now as to the "open door"
Scores of girls, nice girls, are walk
ing the Streets" he says, because
they have no suitable place to enter
tain their beaux at home. Scores
more of music and art and business
students are walking because their
home consists of a hall bedroom.
And the church is kept shut up
at has gymnasiums and Libraries
and moving pictures and swimming
tanks, but no coy corners. In my
mind it is the corners that are most
important.
Religion shouldn't dehumanize u.s.
If it did I wouldn't want it,
