FIVE YEARS AND CHANGES.
POWER AT THE MINE.
THANKS TO MR.. EASTMAN.
BAD ADVERTISING.

bk1A AOV Elk l1S1NG.
five years ago this month more than
4Oo000 UNITED States soldiers began
the drive on the Argonne. Seventeen
thousand were killed, MANY wounded,
IN lighting that stretched along forty
mile front.
Soon after the war was over.
Five years ago, and the soldiers. to
whom excited and frightened big
pocketbooks promised the moon and
stars, have not yet received a penny
OF the p tifully small bonus that rep
resents the dwindling down of all the
gratitude.
There's a plan to simplify the coal
problem. Railroads won't like it-no
. more coal to carry. Middle men will de
test it.
The idea is change the coal into
electric current at ths mine.
Electr city carries itself over the
wires, with no bump ms of freight cars,
no flat wheels, no loading and unload
ing Instead of buying coal, changing
it into power and heat five hundred
OF thousand times from the mine,
skilled labor at the mine would change
coal into electr. city to be USED for heat
light, power, wherever wanted. That
will come in time.
Il ought to come now.

Thanks to Mr.. Eastman, of Roch
ester, and the wide, wide world, this
country sees efficient and thorough
development of musical talent.
a, To help nation in music is to help
it Intellectually. Music and intellect are
sisters. Music arouses the brain, re-
4 freshes and stimulates it, as nothing
else cam do Music is the only stimulant
that has no next day" of let down
and reaction.
Mr.. Eastman's school of music in
the university of Rochester brings to
THE city and to the students of music
.hc best musicians of the world, and
provides musical genius with a mag
nificent setting in beautiful opera
house, given to the city by Mr. East
man and paying financial profit to no
one.
Young people from all over the
United States win scholarships that
give them free teaching and $1,000 a
Year for living expenses.
Thus, one mans success finds ex-
preston I'M way that benefits an en-
tire nation.
The government has sold the heart
of Muscle Shoals plant to a corpora
ton and that ends Henry Ford's at
tempt to- get the great water power.
It ends also the possibility of his car
rying out the promise 20 give the far
1 mers cheap fertilizer and it gives Ford
and the farmers permanent possession
of very good complaint-if they ever
want to use it in politics.

The Rev. Arthur Wilde, Sweden
Durgian, says the Garden of Eden was
a state of mind. So is everything else,
Including happiness ond misery. Ep-
ictetus, deformed ant a slave, was
happy, Croessus, rolling in gold, miser
able, worried. Moth 'ng IS real. All
wealth, gold, diamonds, the sun and
stars, our own bod es represent nothing
more solid than electrons and orotons,
made of negative and positive electri-
city, locked up in atoms that vary in
construction, according to the element
composed.
The elements are interchangeable.
Matter has no existence, mind and its
states are the only real thing, the real
universe. There is no big, no little, no
beginning, no end. In fact, it's all
quite confusing.
Mussolini decides to sell advertising
space ON postage stamps.
1t will not be good publicity. Adver-
Using on street car transfers, tried, is
found not worth while. Advertising on
hostage stamps will be worth even
less.
The person putting on the stamp
won't look at. much less read, the ad-
vertising.
Advertising is valuable only when
put where the people want to see it,
= when they have leisure to read it. The
best advertising is in newspapers. Re
petition is reputation
Carnovan's brother is dead, more
food for superstition. The other earn
avon who dug into the tomb of Tu-
tankhamen, died naturally, Some insect
bite produced blood poisoning.
The Carnaryon brother said, when
his brother opened the tomb, Some
thing dreadful will surely happen to
oar family" He died naturally, like
his brother, from complications follow
ing an operation. Still, the supcrsti-
tious will believe that Pharaoh,
turned to dust, reaches out with his
curse through thirty-five hundred
years.
In the PHILIPPINES General Wood is
using the army to fight locusts that
eat the crops. That's the kind of war
that armies SHOULD make, andl the
only kind that they will make, when
the earth becomes civilized.
Government flying machines now
are spraying forests to protect trees
from pests. In France, flying ma
chimes replant denuded mountains.
That work will go on when war, as a
killing trade, will have been long for
gotten.
