their mental activities.
DR.. Hannay said that emotional
possibilities were brought out by
coming in contact with some SUI
premely great thing in architecture
and illustrated this by telling of
some of the great works of art that
he had seen.
Poetry, he said, had a great in
fiuence upon the character as in the
case John Keats when he came in
contact with Homer's Had and
Chapman. Prof. Hannay also said
that music has much to do with
bringing out the latent powers and
spoke of its emotional value. illus
trating this with his own experiences
in the Quar- Abbey in the Isle OF
Wight.
He also used the Old Testament
prophets as an illustration of the
bringing out of the spiritual powers
and further proved his point by the
lives of George Washington, DIR.
Grenfell and Livingstone, the explor-

in the Argonne to represent the eff

While deep in character, DIR. Han

"ExplOratiOn of Self"
Subject of Lecture at
WOman's Club Meeting

The educational department Of the
Waterville Woman's club enter
tanned the club at the regular meet
ing Of that body at Library hall
| Tuesday evening.
Prof. Nelson c. Hannay was the
speaker of the evening, his subject
being, THE Exploration of Self" BY
, way of illustration he recited some
statistics showing that the average
man is about 80 per cent. efficient
| and the exceptional man is As per
cent. efficient. This. the speaker
said meant that their salaries would
be correspondence different, being
really the difference between S25.O0O
a year salary and 1,5O0 year. This
goes to prove, he said that there are
a lot of uneXplored areas in individ-
uals.
He said that individuals are full Of
potentialities. but they should come
in contact with such things as will
free their intellectual powers. He H.
Illustrated his meaning by saying that
| an automobile may be fully equipped
but unless the spark Is struck. it is
useless. He spoke of these as spark
fng potentialities and divided these
into three topics: the physical. men,
tai and spiritual resources. He il
Illustrated the physical by the army IN
Massachusetts at the time Of the
war only about As per cent. Of them
could pass the examination between
the ages OF 10 and &c. He illustrated
this by citing his own experience on
long distance walking. saying that at
first he could only walk Is miles at
stretch. He heard man say that
he could walk three times as far and
now he. himself can walk 60 miles,
from practice.
He made the mental division into
three subdivisions: Intellectual. vo.
litional and emotional and aestheti-
cal. He cited the fact that people
are amazed at the greatness of some
man when it really lies in the devel-
opment OF his powers, while some
other man could know just as much,
but his powers lie latent. These
powers, he said. are sometimes
brought out by the study Of great
men of the past. He illustrated this
by some of the great historical fig
ures of the past. Even great men go
to other great men for inspiration as

Perhaps the fact that he was born

Corn as Cash Aids
Business and Friend
ship at Madelia, MINI.

Madelia, Mimi, February 21-r-
Merchants of Madelia and farmers of
the surrounding country have been
brought together as the result Of the
acceptance of corn as cash in the
purchase of merchandise or settle
ment OF accounts.
In two-month period just ended,
the merchants bought more than
$4,000 bushels of corn at approx
imately so cents a bushcI. or a'total
of $10,500. which was new money"
released in the community and re-
lieved the financial pressure on mcr-
chants to Il certain extent.
One of the direct results OF the en-
pertinent, which was copied in many
other towns as THE Madelia Plan
was the establishment here few
weeks ago of the Community Club,
organized to foster the fullest spirit
of cooperation between the town and
country folk.
When the market for the farmers
crops, especially corn, started on the
downward trend, and in some com
munities corn was sold as fuel or
burnt for fuel by the farmers, p. II.
l.ebak, a Madelia business man, CON
ceived the idea of accepting corn
from the farmers It 10 cents a BUSH
cl above the local market price.
The rules of the plan, which was
received with enthusiasm by the
farmers when they saw there were
no Strings attached to it, were as
follows:
Amy farmer was allowed to
bring in 100 bushels of corn to any
merchant and receive his pay in mer-
, chandise or pay on account.
Merchants cooperating agreed
to take 4 given amount of corn on
these terms. but had the privilege OF
taking an additional quota from any
! farmer owing them a bill.
3-During the two-month period,
the merchants agreed to pay pre-
| MUM Of 10 cents bushel over the
local market, with a minimum Of 40
cents bushel on shelled corn and 80
cents for corn on the ear. in trade or
on account, the corn to be hauled to
, the local elevators and weighed in,
graded and turned over to the repre-
sentative of the merchants, who in
turn issued merchandise check,
stating what store it was drawn on
and in what amount.
The merchants were well satisfied
with the results. The actual percent
! age of loss by this system Of corn
buying was 2G.7 per cent. as the mer-
| chants necessarily had to market the
corn and accept the consequent loss
due to the premium they gave thu
| farmers.

Already Talking
Possibility Of New
RussO-Japanese War

Moscow. Jan. 22-(By Mail. 1.-The
possibility of a new Russo-Japanese
| war because of mutual encroach-
ments in the Far East, has become .
| subject of discussion in military cir
cles here because of the shipment
of army physicians and large num-
| bers of officers for troop training
purposes to Chita (Siberia) and other
points. Also troops subject to dis
charge at the expiration Of service
terms are being held. =
George v. Chitcherin, Soviet Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, has sent
many notes to the japanese, none Of
which appears to evoke an acknowi-
edgement.
Leon Trotzky in his speech at the
Ninth All-Soriet Congress, plainly
stated that Russia could not indeh-
nitely endure the advance Of JapanI
csc troops on territory Of its ally,
! the Far Eastern Republic. He had
reference. in particular, to the men,
! ace to Chita from Mongolia. by Jap
anese.
1t is felt here that Russia will not
and cannot enter into any real war
with Japan, partly because of the
great distance from Moscow and also
the lack of food, for any large bodies
OF troops. but that in the spring there
may be more advance guard Skin.
miSheS.
In tho meanwhile, the weapon Of
Russia will continue to be propagan-
da against Japanese militarism by
working through the Third Inter-
rationale among the Socialists and
Communists of Japan, Korea, Mon
golia and China.
This is the main purpose Of the
forthcoming Congress here Of Far
Eastern Peoples. Many inspired ar
COW press in an effort to show that
the interests Of Russia and the Unit
ed States are identical, as related to
Japan.
| At the Armament Conference in
Washington, Baron Shidehara, made
Il statement declaring that Japan had
no territorial designs in Russia and
! giving assurances that japanese
| troops would be withdrawn as soon
Us a staple government could be es-
tablished there.
| Baron Uchida. the Japanese For
eign Minister, had announced to the
Japanese Diet a few days before that
Japan intended to evacuate Russian
! territory as soon as guarantees could
, be given for the safety of the lives
! and property of their nationals.
No date when this could be accom-
nlished was suggested in the Japan
csc statement to the Washington
conference. Secretary Hughes an
| nounced in the conference that these
Japanese. assurances were taken to
mean that Japan did not seek
through her military operation in ST
IBERIA to impair the rights Of the
Russian people in any respect.
