senator's whose course they formerly
thought SO harmful. 1t seems exceed
ingly strange that Woodrow Wilson,
whose ideas are so venerated by many
Democrats, cannot utter a word pub
licly to urge his party associates to
support these treaties. In Europe
these agreements are considered a
wonderful advance, and have been ac-
claimed as one Of the greatest steps
ever made to abolish the curse of war.
Yet Mr.. Wilson is SO set on his own
theory. that he can apparently see no
merit in this great achievement of
world cooperation.
These treaties obtain the termina-
tion of the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
which the American people disliked so
much, they secure the reduction of ar
mament, for which our people have
been clamoring, and they protect the
Philippines from attack. Treaties
that accomplish these ends are en-
thusiastically welcomed by the vast
majority of the American people. The
party that votes against them will be
beaten by tremendous majority in
the coming election. Loading them
down with reservations would be like
ly to encourage other powers to at
tach reservations that would kill the
treaties.

THE COUNTRY HOME

The growth of interest in country
life. is not merely promoted by q con-
viction that it is going to offer good
business Opportunities. These oppor-
tunities are going to be well worth the
ambition OF industrious young people.
But there is something more than that
in the attraction that country life ex-
erts.
There is q deep attachment to the
soil and locality and the homestead
that is developed in country living.
The city dweller moves around good
deal from place to place, and usually
develops no deep attachment to his To-
cation.
Even if he owns his house, the
grounds are too limited to afford the
chance to develop much beauty. Even
in the attractive suburbs that grow
up around cities, the population lives
too thickly together to develop an at
tachment to the soil. The hand of man
defaces natural scenery.
In a country home, people feast
their eyes on the hills and plains and
all features of the world that God
made. The home owner in the coun-
try town has an incentive to beautify
his place. He has room to develop it
in simple and attractive fashion, to
make it thing of beauty. Each year,
If he has the spirit of improvement,
he adds some feature of use or charm,
and the place becomes living and
growing thing, into which he has built
day by day something of his soul.
1t will take far better business on
portunity to pull him away. If he does
move. he is apt to be disappointed in
business way, for all that glitters
is not gold. But even if his change
proved to be financially profitable, he
often concludes that he bartered real
happiness for dollars.

either side. But in the deepest ques-
tons of community and national life,
one side represents higher standerd
than the other. The choice comes to
everyone, whether his opinions are 60
ing to live up to the best light he has,
or else be dictated by his own selfish
interests or evil desires.
1t is the great task Of education, to
give young people broad and unselfish
convictions, that will lead them to
thoroughly inform themselves on pub
lie questions, and naturally to uphold
ideas that work for the good Of the
community. The more good books,
newspapers. and magazines that peo-
pie read, the more helpful their opin-
ions will be.

This principle, that the human

the experience of all industrial

The man who has sufficient

To Make Bread
COMPLICATED THAN MAKING SIMPLE CAKE

once killed 1t will not make the
bread rise.
To make two loaves of white
bread, into the mixing bowl put
one level teaspoon Of salt, the
same quantity of sugar and half a
tablespoon of butter or lard. Pour
half a cup of hot water over these
ingredients.
When the butter is melted, pour
in half a cup of cold water. Stir
half a cake OF compressed yeast
in two tablespoons of lukewarm
water until II may be poured.
Test the liquid in the mixing bowl
to ascertain IL 1t is just lukewarm.
This may be done by letting q
drop fall on the tender part Of the
wrist. II right in temperature,
add the yeast mixture. Then beat
In enough flour to make a batter.
Beat this for several minutes to
help incorporate the air necessary
for the growth Of the yeast. Then
add enough more flour to make q
dough stiff enough to be handled.
Toss on a lightly Toured board,
and with Toured hands knead In
enough flour so that when the
dough Is pressed in with the finger
1t quickly rebuonds. as does a rub
Der ball. Roughly, about three min
utes' kneading will be required for
this quantity. About one-fourth
cup Of flour will be required for
kneading in after the dough is on
the board.
Run the water over the dough
ball for a second and then place 1t
back in the mixing bowl. Set the
bowl into a dishpan OF warm water
and place a clean. warm cloth over
all. Let rise either over night or
about seven hours during the day.
