Prosperity in the 0ffing.

HUMPER crops nearly always assure national
lh prosperity. They mean cheaper and more
abundant supplies of the essentials Of living.
Everything man needs comes, at some time, from
he land When the land refuses to yield hard
Times are, almost certain. When the fields over
How there is reason for rejoicing.
] The governments August crop report, con-
bidered in this light, is Of the most hopeful
kigns of complete revival the nation has known for
? long time. Wheat elevators will be packed. Corn
tribs will overflow. Haylofts will be filled to the
gables. And the report on apples assures at least
plenty of apple pies this winter-probaby busy
fider mills also.
| Y0ere will be farmhouse mortgages burned.
II will be happy harvest moon-one of the old
fasbma ed sort with plenty of red and
big -eSnpkins and fat the county fairs. It
IS Seysain to be all this in spite of the market diff
fulyss which the farmers may encounter. America,
kftsf all, has not advanced far from the status of
hn agricultural community The basic laws
pf economies govern prosperity and depression to-
hay as fifty years ago.
If there more apples the people will have
nore apples to eat This holds true in spite of all
the middlernen the great ceners of population can
produce. If there is wheat the people will
have more white bread to eat If there more
potatoes the Aroostook farmers will send their sons
and daughters college this winter and the labor
ers wife will be able to fill her market basket better
for the Sunday dinner.
+ For the fourth time in the history OF the United
States there will be about three billion bushels of
corn. Over million tons of hay more than ever
before has been produced in the United States is
predicted Only since the Pilgrims sighted
Plymouth Rock has larger potato crop been
grown. -
1t looks assuredly like a winter of country
dances and new automobiles.

New York and Kansas.
HE NEW YORK TIMES str

THE NEW YORK TIMES struggles to find
i something Of comfort in the report of the
United States Census Bureau which proves that the
AVERAGE white male in Kansas lives about years
longer than the average man in New York City.
1t arrive; at that comfort at length in the conclu-
sion III fifty years in Gotham is worth more than
SIXTY years in the Sunflower State.
"A man lives several lives in New York before
he is 81" according to this newspaper 1t defends
sAmericas largest city also by the statement that
an Kansans yearn to come to New York but few
New Workers long to go to Kansas"
d 1.-The Times makes brave effort to prove to
She world that New York is fine place for human
beings to live and without doubt it succeeds in con-
vincing-New Workers.
/. il probably is true enough that few residents
of the great seaboard metropolis desire to go to
Kansas. They have no such desire because most of
them would be totally unable to see Kansas after
they got there. 1t is unfortunate characteristic
of the average Gothamite that he becomes deaf
dumb and blind just as the train leaves
behind the last OF the piles of brick that constitute
Americas greatest city. He does not enjoy these
faculties again until the conductor once more yells.

blue countryside of France, England in the month

banks of the Ha6son.

We never yet saw Kansan who wanted stay

Coal Rationins.

ID ATIONlNC always produces more or less
IN dissatisfaction. That is one good reason why
it is unwise unless conditions make it absolutely
necessary. 1t will be hard to convince anyone in
the District of Columbia that somebody else is in
worse need of coal There are certain to be some
complaints of favoritism, some charges that unfair
practices have been resorted to, and some suspicion
that there are loopholes by which the system can
be defeated if anyone is clever enough to outwit
those in charge.
But on the whole, it seems, an excellent sys-
tenn has been started That the emergency exists
is beyond question. That it will be disasreeabe
IN many instances is certain But there is no other
way. If there Is not coal enough to meet all
demands those whose need affects the greatest
number must be supplied.
It is At least reassurng to District people that
firm hand has been placed on the pulse of the
local situation.

College Men.

10 the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The letter signed Dot Ebert
which appeared IN the open Court
July as. 1922. has caused the under
signed to wonder why there are so
many colleges not only In America
but also throughout the world? Ger
tainly, the college must do some good
In our midst or It would not be sup
ported as It In. The chance of a COL
lege education for the worthy poor
boy in America seems just as good as
for the worthy rich boy. However
the import Of her letter places the
poor boy seeking an education in the
position Of one who pompusly puts
on airs In public while he nearly
starves to death at home.
Is this true? My experience has
led me to believe there II no nobler
band Of youths in America than those
who are earning and working their
way through college. There may be
some who take the time to sew a few
wild oats; who, stopped in habits of
reckless living. finish before their
course IL completed. but the major
tty Of them have come to college with
purpose and know that failure to
make good means little chance to win
In the battle Of life.

Game Cocks and War.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The Heralds editorials are by far
the best in town. but you lowered
your batting average last wednes-
day. Now. Mr.. Editor, be perfectly
fair. do you believe there Is the
slightest danger OF our becoming
mollycoddles and milk sops should
we decide to settle our differences
like intelligent beings rather than
according to the ethics of the jun
gle? Surely you do not, yet in that
single peg hangs the whole Of your
WASTED Effort" Must a man keep
up a continual fight with his neigh
bors or pose as a bad man in the
community in order to maintain his
dignity. his integrity and his self
respect?
The game cock is a noble bird and
in his natural state he has some
thing to fight for. Also. by the law
OF natural selection the strongest
birds propagate their kind and thus
improve the species. But when
gamblers arm them with steel gaffs
and place them In a pit. the joke is
certainly on the birds. They have
no interest in the dispute that led
up to the match. though of course
when the contest is on IT would be
suicide for either one to shirk the
fight. Admitting that the best bird
always wins, many fine specimens
never get out of the pit alive. Don't
you see the point?
Now. let us suppose a case Of two
very wise game cocks. wiser by far
to an understanding and agree not
to tear each others eyes out merely
because it is expected of them. In
stead they hand swords to the gam
blers and invite them to decide the
contest. Would you say they had
lost their courage, that they were
afraid to fight? Would they be
mollycoddles?
Don't get the idea that opponents
of war are spineless creatures. They
are red -blooded Americans who love
their country and are perfectly will.

THAT FEDERAL JUDGSHIP

With the very probable creation of new fed eral district in Arizona by congress during the present year, there is much interest evidenced in the appointment of the new federal judge. The most popular choice for the appointment among those mentioned is Judge O. J. Baughn, superior judge of Pinal county. Judge Baughn is man of fine legal attainments and one who is held in the highest esteem by the bar of Arizona as well as people generally He is of the rugged Ari- zona type of men, fearless in his honesty of de- cisien, with courage to carry on the things he believes right in truth man in whom the peo- pie could place their implicit trust, should he be called to the high office his many friends would have him fill. The office is one which calls for man of great strength of character as we'll as sound judgment, and regardless of political af- filiation, those who know him best agree that he is amply endowed with these characteristics. Those who are most enthusiastically endorsing him for the judgship come from all parties and all walks in the life of the state. He is an Ari- zonan without one excuse to offer and an Ameri- can without an apology. His successes in life have been hard earned and honestly won and his friends point with pride to his accomplishments on the bench as well as the enthusiastic heart interest displayed in forwarding the develop ment of Arizona.

LESLIE M. SHAW ON THRIFT

Some outspoken observations on the youth of today were made by Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury under President Roosevelt, and now in his seventy-fourth year of lift in recent talk before the Marquette Club in New York
 "This seems to be generation of "get-mores," said Mir. Shaw "The question that seems up- permost in young peoples minds nowadays is, how can get more money = how can 1 find the short cut to wealth? If more than the legitimate fee for service or profit from an undertaking is to be obtained they are all for it. What we need to teach the younger generation is how to put more into life, not how to get more out of it.
 ''Yet the idea of thrift seems furthest from their minds The whole sentiment among young people is not to accumulate savings, and thrift is considered stinginess. There is only one infalli- ble rule for success, and that is can man live within his income? A man who spends all of his income for living expenses is never going to succeed
 Growing boys are not being taught the mean ing of days work and the value of dollar as they were in the old days, MT. Shaw thought. It was not the country's iiterates who were sleeping in the parks with newspapers for mat tresses, But those whose parents kept them from working that they might get an education.
 But I'm not against education, mind you" said the speaker. "I believe in it, but the young man must be taught that he must work for what he gets; that this world keeps one-price store, with no bargain counters"
