WHO WILL BE MASTERS OF THE
GENERATIONS?

How many boys and girls who have returned to
school this week will awaken to the fact that the
distance one travels on the road to in life
depends almost wholly upon how young learns
that hard work clean living and clean thinking, hon
esy and industry the acceptance of discipline both
from those in authority and from ones own con-
and thrift the motors which drive fast
and far?
Nearly all of those who have achieved power to do
great things and have done much learned early in
life that honest work provides the only highway to
and they developed sufficient will power to
keep everastngly it.
Many people have made fairly good records who
did learn these lessons until they quit school
and sowed some wild oats. But how much further
they would have gone, how much they would
have accomplished how much they would have
made of themselves, if they had learned earlier,
The beginning of the school year is "a good time
for the boys and girls whose long vacation
is to take inventory of themselves
make resolves-and the most important resolu-
ton should be the resolve to keep the resolves
Those boys and girls in the public schools
who earliest learn to distinguish real values and to
control themselves will be the masters their gem

Sentiment Against VOisteaG let.
WASHINGTON POst.)

The nationwide poll of 10000, 900 persons on
prohibition sentiment conducted by the Literary
Digest progressed slightly past the 100000 mark,
with the ratio of enforcement modification and repeal
running just about the same at the start. An
interesting side showing in connection with the gen.
eral pCll the first nsalment of special poll of
2,200, 600 women of the nation on the subject. A
summary of the first q ,467 in this latter poll
shows 1868 for enforcement 1915 for modification
and 5,529 for repeal The percentages at present
stand little than IS against the continuance
and strict enforcement of the eighteenth amendment
and the Nostead law in the womens poll and slightly
more than els against in the main poll
Recognized leaders of the drys vigorously con-
tending that the Digests poll does not afford fair
representation CT the real sentiment regarding pro-
hibition enforcement in the country, and they point
results in state elections and primaries where the
wet and dry proposition declared to have been
an issue in support of their contention that the ma
jory of the voters of the country for the amend
ment and the law it stands If, however, the
tire 10 0000 900 persons whose expression of opinion
has been sought respond, anywhere near the num-
Der the showing, whatever it may be, cannot be
loosely considered. 1t is significant that the per
centages have nearly uniform in the poll thus
far and it is also significant that the women's
men is akin to that shown in the general results.
While vote taken in this way have effect on
the law its enforcement it is perfectly proper to
set forth present-day opinion question which a
large part of the population refuses regard set
tied for all time.

men in the business. He says there is not chance
to enforce prohibition in New York. He contends
that both the Republican and Democratic State and
local organizations working hand-in- glove with
those engaged in the liquor traffic. and that the
bcotleggers include in all lines of business from
oblacks to big bankers.

To Save the Young Folks From Modern Dance
Hall and Sex Problem Play
BY REV. J. C. GILKEY, Springfield, Mass.

The South Congregational church of Springfield, Mass, holds semi
monthly dances. 1t isn't the od-fashioned quadriue or even the waltz,
but the modern dances, including the todde. And even the descendants
of John Alden seem to enjoy it as much as the young people.
1t was the only way to save the young folks from the dance hall and
the sex problem play of the local theaters. If the young people want to
dance they are going to dance, and If you won't let them dance In the
church youth will be served and they will go some place else, probably the
cheap dance hall. That accounts for many of the depraved tendencies OF
our mice boys and girls today.
I convinced elders of my church that if they allowed their children
to dance at all it should be where dancing could be made right, and if it
vas right for them it was right for us, so we all join in.
1t has increased the attendance of my church from 800 to 1,700 and
the young people, who would not come to the regular evening service, now
flock to the church Sunday nights, where they have supper and clean mo-
ton pictures. Girls and boys who took no interest in church work before
re among the best workers in the Olvet community house, which is a
defunct church building turned over to the work of social betterment in
connection with my church.
1t is not true that clean motion pictures will not pay. The theater
which we run in connection with our church and at which sex plays are
taboo, clears over $175 q month and is increasing every day.

POWER In THIS FLASHLlGHT
Continued Experiments Have Resulted
in Development of a Really Re-
markabIe Article.

From the pocket fiashllght operated
by two or three dry cells of minute
size the battery searchlight has been
steadily improved until remarkable
results are obtained.
Some time ago there was devised
a s%earchlight of 500 foot range OPP
Grating on six or eight volts. More
recently a battery searchlight has
been introduced with a range of 1000
feet up to half a mile, operating on
six volts. Equipped with a seven and
one-half inch adjustable focus, single
shell reflector, on a recent photometer
test one of these searchlights gave
453 candlepower.
The combination of q nitrogen-filled
tungsten lamp and a correctly de-
signed reflector has. worked wonders
for the battery-operated s~earchlight.

To Relieve the Agricultural Depression and to
Make Farming Profitable
By cLAuDE A. M of Virginia.

Nj. President, the most important problem awaiting solution today
b to relieve the depression existing in agriculture and to make farming
permanently profitable. When agriculture has been sensiby and scientif-
caly organized and placed upon a remunerative basis the most serious
barrier to our material beterment has been removed. Experience dlsdoses
that every panic and every financial and industrial depression which has
cursed this country invariably has been preceded by a great fall in agrcuE
tural products, and hence a great reduction in the profits derived from
the farm.
The beginning of the present frghtful financial and industrial depps-
sin was first heralded by the great fall in the prices of all the varied agri
cultural products. No relief will come from these wretched conditions,
as the past has clearly demonstrated, until the prices of farm products
have greatly increased and this business again becomes profitable. The
reason of this is plain when you give the matter thoughtful consideration.
Onefourth of the entire wealth of this nation Is invested directly IN
farming. Thirty-fve per cent of our people are directly engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits. If we add to these the varied industries that use the
products of the soil in manufacturing, the mercantile Establishments that
traffic in farm products, the transportation and shipping companies which
distribute these and those industries that furnish implements and supplies
to the farmers, it may be fairly estimated that almost practically one-haf
of our population is either directly or indirectly dependent upon the pros
perty of the farms
