Janitor OBJECTED.

One Of the strangest ways of call
ing up or stimulating the magma
ton was that employed, once upon a
time, by our great American sculptor,
st. Gaudens. You will find the story
In his "reminiscences. When he was In
Rome, during his student days, he
was very fond Of strolllng about at
night In one Of the old Italian gar
dens, In which there was a fountain
which was particularly beautiful in
the moonlight and played such mu-
sic as only a fountain In an old Italian
garden can play. So when st. Gaudens
got back to New York city and into
his humble little studio on the third
floor back, what does he do but turn
on the water tap and keep It running
all day long to remind him of the
tinkle and splash of that fountain
In the old italian garden. One day
the Janitor comes plodding up the
stairway, and, discovering the run
ming tap, says: 1--WE been pumpin' wa
ter up here for three weeks and won.

GREAT STATE COPIED MOTTO
Michigan Must Acknowledge Its obIi-
cations to the Greatest Of Eng
lIsh Architects.

The motto of the state of Michigan
Isl Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam
Circumspice," (If You Seek a Beauti-
full Peninsula, Look About You) was
borrowed rather shamelessly from the
inscription which appears on the in
terror of ST. Paul's cathedral In Lon
don, In memory of its architect, Sir
Christopher Wren. This inscription
reads, Isl Monumentum Requirls Cir
cumspice," IF You Seek His Monu-
ment, Look About YOU'D. In other
words. the great church is itself q
monument to the greatest of English
architects.
Sir Christopher Wren was born In
1882 and died In 1923. He won many
honors. was knighted by Charles II
later elected president Of the Royal
Society OF London. and served for q
time In parliament. But his fame
rests chiefly on his having designed ST
Paul's, the most magnificent Protestant
edifice In the world and second only
to st. Peters In Rome among the re-
ligious structures Of modern times. II
required thirty-five years in building.
but was begun and completed under
Wren's sole direction. II cost $780,

HELPED GRANT TO FORTUNE
How Mark TwaIn's Friendship and
Business Instinct Was Used to
Help Old Friend.

In 1885, Mark Twain, who had his
financial ups and downs, was enjoy
Ing q period Of prosperity as the pub
Usher Of his own books. The pub
LEGATION Of the Adventures Of Huckle-
berry Finn" at that time had been
particularly profitable and Clemens,
hearing that Richard Watson Glider
of the Century company, had been
discussing with Grant the publish
Ing of his memoirs, called upon the
general, with whom he had long been
Oh intimate terms, for the purpose of
finding out how far the project had
developed.
II soon appeared that the Century
editors desired the book, but would
not guarantee a profit of $4,000 to
the author, who had recently ex-
perienced a failure In business and
whose health was breaking down.
Clemens, whose first and last thought
was to serve his friend, said: Gen
eral, l have my checkbook with me.
| will draw you a check now for $25,-
900 for the first volume Of your
memoirs, and will add like amount
for each volume you may write, as an
advance royalty payment"
An arrangement was made where
by Grant received 20 per cent Of the
net returns and, as is well known,
the book was vast success. The
publication resulted in receipts by the
Grant heirs of about $4,000. The
first check to Mrs. Julia D. Grant,
drawn February Z, 1886, for $780,
600, remains the largest royalty check
in history.

New Scientific Discovery.

Among the most remarkable
gllmpses into hidden corners Of nature
that scientific advance has afforded
are the frequent discoveries of micro
organisms in unexpected places,
where they produce phenomena here
tOfore supposed to rise from other
causes. For instance, scientist in
Upsala. Sweden, ascertalned that in
preparations Of meat and fish CON
tanning. for purpose of preservation,
salt to the amount of Is per cent,
micro-organlsms grow luxuriantly and
he concludes that the favors and
odors that are peculiar to various
salt conserves are due to the micro
organisms with which they are
crowded.

loaned. The inability of the parties
in the United States to borrow pri-
vate funds with which to reclaim land
is the same as exists in other coun-
tries, and the record our government
is making in retaining lands COM
pares favorably with the accomplish
ments of other nations. Asking the
federal government to carry on re-
clamation works is requesting nothing
more of the federal government than
what progressive governments have
been doing elsewhere.
In conclusion, what the United
States needs is a permanent and con-
structive policy Of reclamation. This
bill provides it.
The amount of money to be appro-
priated and the projects to be un-
dertaken is subject to the approval of
congress.
The lands subject to irrigation are
lying idle and of no value, the
waters necessary to reclaim them run
ming to waste. Those subject to
drainage in the same condition-an
inconvenience to transportation and
menace to health. When reclaimed
both will add vastly to the taxable
wealth of the several states.
The reclamation department, high
ly efficient, with splendid record
of performance in the past, can achieve
even greater results if given the funds
necessary for continuous operation,
as provided for in this bill.
There are practically no more pub
lie lands in the United States, in
their present state, subject to entry
that can be profitably farmed.
The funds under this act will re-
volve, and therefore, continuously
furnish new land for settlers, the pro-
ductivity of which is about double
that of our best farming lands, not
subject to irrigation and drainage.
The government is merely assisting

money advanced will all be repaid
with interest.
The proposition is national in its
scope. AS the west and south in
crease in agricultural production, the
north and east will increase in in
dustrial production.
It will not reduce farm values in
the east and middle west
The world is not troubled with
overproduction, but under consump-
ton. AS soon as the conditions are
restored there will be an abundant
demand for /. all we can produce.
Furthermore, the late war proved the
necessity of the country being self
sustaining as to its food supply.
Again we need a larger home mar
ket for our manufacturers. It not

Only gives preference right in mat
ter of employment and settlement to
those who have served in the military
and naval forces of the United States
but it will offer opportunities for our
young men to secure homes and con-
tinue profitably in agricultural pur-
suits.
Our country, having adopted the
policy of no further territorial ex-
pansion, should develop the vast lands
within its own borders.
The North and East should well
come the opportunity to assist in the
upbuilding of the West and South,
especially when they would add to
their prosperity thereby.
The principle embodied in this
measure has the endorsement of the
last republican and democratic ma
tional conventions, the unqualified
support of secretary Fall, and the
strong recommendation of Presiden,
Harding.

Playing With Fire

Editorial, Louisville (Ky.) Post
A serious question is provoked by
a consideration of those people who
patronize the bootlegger. Not all Of
them, but certainly many of them,
are men and women who consider
themselves law-abiding citizens, and,
in all ways but one, deserve to be con-
sidered as such. But, if they but
knew it, they are playing with fire
when they assist lawbreakers to
break the law. Most of the class we
are now considering are reasonably
well off in the way of property. They
loudly assert, on ordinary occasions,
their belief in law and order. They
bubble with Indignation when union
men on their sympathizers break the
law, and insist that upon the main
tenance of the law the future of the
republic depends. And they are
right. But can they not see that
when they and people like them
openly lend encouragement to boot
leggcrS engaged in flouting the law,
they are themselves making difficult
the enforcement OF laws?
