40 years and for nine years more as
a president of the state conference.
He was still serving when he was
called away In spite of the shock
that the members of the congrega-
ton must have experienced at be-
ing witness to the end, they all
must have felt an impressive beau
ty in such passing of a faithful
servant, still in service.
Only recently the New York pa
pers carried an item describing
another death of peaceful beauty.
An old man sitting in park was
heard to say to some children
playing there, "Do you see those
falling leaves? In just little while
/ shall fall as they do" In a
moment more his head dropped on
his breast, and he had gone.
In spite of the grief, the un-
speakable sadness, that we inevita-
bly, associate with death, it can
come with tenderness and peace, as
such deaths as these we'll illustrate
When a long and useful life merg-
es so gently into the beyond, one
says, "That is the way I should like
to 60" 1t is when violence or un-
necessary disease, or other prema-
ture and wrong conditions occur
that the end of life seems truly ter
rible But we know that this thing
called death is natural. and hence
it is not strange to find that it has
beauty of its own as do all things
in nature-O. S. Journal.

SATISFIED" FARMERS

A Boston paper notes the alleget
| fact that Nebraska farmers are no
! worrying about the strikes because
they have 200,313,000 bushels Of
corn which they can burn if nee
essary--cheaper fuel at 30c 9
bushel than coal at SIS ton.
'That," says the editor, "may
give a certain sort of cold, short
farmer, but it won't be of much
service to the rest of the United
States whose people need the
corn"
The Nebraska farmer, and others
in the same fix, will certainly agree
that the necessity of burning corn
is "cold" satisfaction-if any. He
slaved to prepare the ground, and
he worked as hard to plant it. He
sweated to cultivate it. He tore
the skin from his knuckles and
shivered to husk it.
And now to have to burn it! It
is a tragedy for the Nebraska farm
er; for really, what the Boston ed
itor should remember, is that that
corn is all he has in many cases for
MS year WOFh. III burning IL, he
is burning to ashes year cut out
of his life, and out of that of his
wife and his children.
When food is burned for fuel
there is something rotten in the
United States of America. And
there is about as much satisfaction
in being forced to believe that, as
the farmer enjoys when he burns

Nonopoly and the League

The island of Nauru lies in the
southern Pacific ocean. 1t is an inn
mensely valuable deposit of phos-
phate which was taken away from
Germany by the treaty of Versailles
placed under the guardianship OF
the league of nations and then man
dated to Britain, Australia and
New Zealand
Under the terms of the league OF
nations mandate, all signatories OF
the covenant have equal economic
rights. 1t is now claimed that Brit
ain. New Zealand and Australia
are tending to monopolize the
phosphates of Nauru. Therefore
the council of the league has re-
uuested a report from the British
empire. The British empire has
agreed to report. If dispute arises
it will go to the permanent court
of justice.
This is a civilized proceeding. II
is also an object lesson. For con-
slider what would have happened
without a league. Germany would
have lost the island and the victors
would then have quarreled about
possession. Great Britain might
have got possession. Thereafter hel
rights of monopoly would either
have been unquestionable or they
would have been regulated by
treaty, 10 or Is nations would
have had to start writing increas
ingly angry notes at each other il

Britannica's Baker Boomerang

And so the editors of the Ency-
clopedia Britannica stand pat on
their biographical sketch of for
mer Secretary of War Newton. d.
Baker. They say they won't change
it.
Well and good. We had always
priced the Britannica's S as work of
reference, stuffed with cold, hard
facts. Henceforth when we ap-
proach those formidable volumes
and begin to read up on some ques-
ton on which we seek enlighten-
ment, the thought will be running
through our heads like a refrain:
''Is this fact? Or is it just some
biased body's personal opfnion?"
If the Baker biography" is al
lowed to stand in Britannica, we
suggest they include also Senator
Lodges stump estimate of EXPIRES
ident Wilson; Hiram Johnson's
opinions of Clemenceau; Poincare's s
sketch of the kaiser: de Valera's 8

and Kipling's idea of America s

-FOUR FLUSHERS

A friend of the writer who has
unusual opportunities to observe
people saws mankind naturally di-
vides itself into two parts: four
flushers and those who are honest
ly trying to perform.
Everyone falls into some divi-
sion of one of these classes, he
states.
Is he correct?
/ think So The people who are
trying to give service in return for
a living far out-number the four
flushers, but the latter are decided
ly more conspicuous.
The four-flushers cOngregate

They are quick to adopt new titles
and new nomenclature to describe
their activities.
They are the deadweight of in
dustry. and the ball and chain oi
politics.
They thrive in those professions
and activities where the service
rendered is intangible. Gifted with
an easy flow of language and &
prepossessing personality, they
wiggle their way into jobs where
they stick until they are asked tc
move on.
Every trade organization and ev-
cry professional group have tC

The College Diploma

After four years of student life,
thousands of young men and women
are just now going forth from col
lege halls, with the bachelors di-
ploma in hand. to find their perma-
nent place in life.
What is the value of that di-
ploma? In itself, virtually nothing
at all. It's significance is only in
If the main interests of college life
have been on the side lines at
games, fraternity dances, class
stunts, bacon bats and other such
activities, with only enough atten-
ton to study to escape danger Of
scholastic failure, nothing in the di-
ploma will ever counterbalance the
lost possibilities of four college
years frittered away on things of no
enduring significance. The years
may have been happy, and many
pleasant friendships may have been
formed. but the big chance has been
lost.
One of the serious problems of
college life is the fact that even the
student who does fall lamentably
short of it's possibilities gets SO
much good out Of it that he does not
realize what he is losing until he
turns and looks back, with the red
ribboned parchment in his hand,
upon the things of priceless value
that he has passed by. The college
that shall discover some sure way
to make the student realize at the
beginning of the freshman year
what so many discover with regret
at the other end of the course, will
have doubled the value of the aver
age diploma which it issues.-Co-
