The Kansas Idea

THE Board of Education at
Wichita, Kansas, has laid out
i a school farm Of thirty acres
in the heart Of the city. These
thirty acres are a part of a sew
enty-acre lot on which the Board
of Education is building a number
of school buildings both for agri-
culture and for general education.
1t will be an impressive sight.
On that farm the school commit
tee, will, Of course, undertake to
teach the boys and girls who wish
to make agriculture their occupa-
ton. The idea is also to teach
the other children something about
farming so that they too shall be
able to use spare land to grow
things.

Ship Subsidy
Means Ships
LASKER, of the

HHAIRMAN LASKER, of the
Shipping Board, announces
that as soon as the Ship Sub
sidy bill is passed group of
American capitalists is ready to
form a $30,OOO,OO0 steamship COM
pany.
This company will begin by con-
structing for the North Atlantic
trade two electrically-driven ships
of 10000 tons each. Each will be
$4,000 tons larger than the worlds
present ocean monster, the White
Star liner Majestic, built by the
Germans to be called the Bismarck,
but appropriated by England as
one of the spoils of war.
The company also contemplates
purchasing the Leviathan, owned
by the Shipping Board, and now
being reconditioned at Newport
News. The three vessels could
render a weekly North Atlantic
passenger service, under the Amer
lean flag, superior to anything now
on the seas. Finally, the new
company purposes to buy and
operate the Shipping Boards pres
ent steamers running between here
and England and North Europe.
Here again Mr.. Lasker offers
tangible results from the Subsidy
bill. At the House committee hear
ings Lasker told of a Pacific Coast
group, headed by Herbert Fleis-
hacker, prepared to put together
$25, 100000 and buy the boards
Pacific passenger steamers as soon
as the bill becomes law.
In other words, capital stands
ready to buy the Government 8
vessels and to construct the types
of high-class passenger steamers
which the Government does not
possess.
What will it cost the Govern
mentf
Well, the Shipping Board now
loses $50,000,000 per year operat-
ing third of its fleet. When
the Subsidy bill is law that loss
will cease. Instead, the Government
will be paying subsidies to Ameri-
can shipping companies amounting
to $15,000,000 the first year, $780,
100000 eventually. So the "cost"
of the subsidy, to start with, is a
governmental saving of $35,0O0,O00
per year.
Good business. What alternative
plans for establishing an American
merchant marine do the subsidy
foes offerf None that we have
heard of.

WAYSIDE WISDOM
THE ICEMAN COMES.
Copyright, 1s12.)
BY S. E. Kiser

THERE'S always something doing when
l. The iceman drives along our street.
For chips are scattered now and then,
And each becomes a stolen treat.
The iceman's horse is big and gray,
The iceman's voice Is fierce and loud;
He warns the boys to keep away,
And shakes his red fists pt the crowd,
But every time his back Is turned
A dozen daring kids rush out.
For, being wise, they all have learned
There's nothing to be scared about"
THE iceman's arms are big and strong,
l. He carries heavy chunks with ease,
And frequently he fingers long
Exchanging back-doOr pleasantries.
The jingle of his tongs when he
Returns to split another lump
Gives warning to the boys to be
All ready instantly to jump.
His big horse knows when he appears
That II Is time to move ahead,
And wisely pricking up his cars,
He marches on with stately tread.
0VA-HA!" the daring spirits cry.
While scattering With chips Of ice,
Declining to be governed by
Appeals or scolding or advice.
The icemans rumbling wagon drips,
He seldom occupies a seat,
And when he makes his daily trips
A crowd pursues him down the street;
He shakes his fist and yells, Get out?
But every boy has set this down;
There's nothing to be scared about
The iceman smiles behind his frown.

service between the two coun-
tries. Air service also plies be-
tween London and Paris, with the
same regularity as railroad trains
between Boston and New York.
An American invented the air
plane and American capital de-
veloped it, but we are making very
little use of it. The incompetence
of American political organization
and the faulty with which we
have followed the laissez faire
policy combine to leave us in the
lurch in everything which requires
the power and the mighty organi-
cation of government to achieve.
Great Britain so maneuvered in
the conference here that the air
plane could control the sea. Pos
sessing the greatest merchant ma
rine, she can also have the greatest
airplane fleet, because her merchant
marine can offer her the greatest
number Of mother ships of air
planes. Now she is starting to
build 500 more airplanes.
What is our Government doing
to meet this potential threatf We

are we attending to its military
value.

Something to Think About

BY Bruno Lessing-
ON SAVING MONEY.

THEN. I know a man In
l. Connecticut who wanted an
automobile. He also wanted 10
save. Somehow or other he
couldn't make the two desires
fit in with each other. He fig.
ured that the automobile was
not a necessity and that saving
money WAS a necessity.
One night his telephone was
out of order, his child swallowed
something or other which stuck
in her throat and, before he
could reach the doctor who
lived only two miles away, the
child died.
The doctor told him afterward
that ten minutes difference
might have saved her life.
This man bought a car for
$3.50 and told me many things
against saving money.
DUT I know that Mr.. Forbes
- understands all this per-
fectly. And I heartily approve
of his attitude toward the
squandering of money when tho
saving of II brings so much
contentment. I am equally
sure, however, that he will ap.
prove of this:
Save money, but save it in.
telligently. Money spent to
maintain your health or to give
comfort and happiness to those
dependent upon you is not
squandered. A luxury Of yes.
terday easily becomes a necessi-
ty of today. It's a fine thing to
lie back in your old age and let
the money that you have saved
support you. But you can't go
to a concert when you're deaf;
you can't eat caviar when you
have dyspepsia, and you can't
take the girl you love for a nice.

But the other day he asked
this question:
did you ever hear anything
against saving money!"
Well. Forbes, to be perfectly
candid with you, ! did.
THERE'S no use in going to
l. extremes and telling about
the misers who hoard every
penny that comes into their
possession, because a miser,
after all, is not a real, human
being. He is a species of ghoul.
But I knew a man who was
fond of the night life of New

because he first wanted to save
money. He was constantly in
fear OF a penniless old age, and
he decided that when he blew
in money on the Great White
Way 1t would be the interest
that he was drawing from his
secure investments.
Well, he made his pile and he
began to get his steady income.
But he also got tuberculosis and

ruled by gila monsters or
