CoyETOUs SPIRIT

MO OTHER prompting within the

Its effect Is seldom productive OF
satisfactory pleasure.
And no other motion is SO unpro-
ductive OF results, except Of the kind
that divests us Of our sunny DISPOSE
tion, which we stand and deliver with
out word of protest
An odd phase Of the covetous spirit
is that 1t generally sets its affections
on objects of no substantial worth.
The fine, ennobling things which de-
yelop strength of character are often
overlooked In the exciting chase for
the ephemeral which grows hotter as
the pursuit is continued
Friendship is ruthlessly brushed
aside. Hearts are broken Reason
loses Its balance In an excitation OF
feeling. Talents are neglected or
wrapped in napkin and hidden. As
the tide Of years sweeps us on. we
become lmpelled by a sort Of fanati-
cism whose power we are unable TO
resist.
Daily we sink little lower from an
existence Of independence to state
Of mere servitude, controlled in every
thought and act by the fervent spirit
of covetousness.
1t is natural inclination which
manlfests itself when, as children, we
covet the toys Of our playmates. But
that Is not all. 1t sometimes compels
us to appropriate the playthings and
impudently to claim them as our own.
Then comes the merited punishment.

phere we cannot at once escape Its

NO WONDER.

A news dispatch sent out from the
National Capital last Monday says;
Approximately $32,000,000 has beer
loaned by the federal intermediate
credit banks to aid the farmers in fl
nancing the production and marketing
of this years crops.
Farm loan board officials, in an
mouncing the figures, said they failed
to show that the wheat growers have
taken advantage of the government =
latest credit facilities, although ap-
peals for financial assistance recently
have come from these areas. OF the
total loans made direct to farmers or
CARNATIONS, only $2,403,S69 has been
loaned on wheat, they said. There was
no explanation for this at the farm
land board and Commissioner Cooper
said that the credit banks had taken
care of all applications for wheat
loans.
1.-THE board s figures disclosed that
1924 100000 of the total amount adj
vanced was in the form of loans direct
to cooperative and other farmer asso-
Citations. The remainder went to ag
ricultural credit corporations and to
banks which rediscounted agricultural
paper.
When the wheat farmers were
loaned up to their limit and had
nothing more to borrow on, how could
the trainers of the federal intermedi
ate credit banks law expect them to
profit in any way by that laws In
reality, they didn t. This law seems
to be in line with the various subter-
fuges resorted to in lieu of legislation
that might have been helpful.

CITY Of RAT
PLAGUE
Nebraska Town Freed of Alley
Pests by Old Foes of
Rodents
BY International News Service.

ALLIANCE, Neb., Feb. 1.-Allf-
ance is happy, for the town is
purged of it's stray cats.
Farmers in the vicinity of the
Alliance dump head are satisfied,
for the countryside has been swept
clean Of it's rat pest.
Sam Shelton, negro, city scaven.
ger, is bubbling over with joy, for
Sam is to be cited by the city coun.
Gil for some suitable reward. 1t
was Sans idea that cleaned up the
towns alleys and the dump heap.
Farmers in the Alliance country
threatened the city with damage
suits because, they contended,
armies of rats invaded their barns
and granaries and cribs for an an
nual loot of thousands of dollars.
The invading rodents, the farmers
complained, came from the city's
dumping ground, which, they in
sisted, was a veritable rat Encu-
bator.
The city appealed to Shelton.
Sam went out in the highways and
byways gathering in feline tramps
and hoboes and "Wobblies," and
dumped the whole family of toms
and tabbies on the city dump. Rats
disappeared almost over night.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The American

ing for more new members.
All told, there are but 80 actual
members, although there are more
than 5000 French, English and

view of the fact that the American
colony of Paris counts at least
5000 permanent residents, this
membership number is extremely
small.
One hundred francs Cess than
$1O is the first price, together with
an entrance fee of 100 francs. Life
members pay 5000 francs and as
sociate 1000 francs. For twenty
five francs agar any resident of
Paris and it's suburbs, with no re-
CARDS for nationality, may take out
one book at a time. with the right
to change it as often as he desires.
The American Library and Read
ing Rooms occupy the old Nunciate,
one of the most handsome palaces
in Paris. There are specious stack
rooms, well lighted and heated, and
the reading rooms are decorated
with superb ceiling paintings and
fine mirrors and chimneypieces.
The children's room was formerly
the Moorish rooms of the Nonce,
and it's delicate arches and tracery
work still remain, delight to the
children who come in to sit around
the tiny tables in miniature chairs.

study the air in broader sense.
The air differs in composition
at different levels.
That Is, because 1t consists Of
different gases, some Of which
are lighter than others.
Here are four principal gases:
Oxygen including ozone. which
is a concentrated oxygen, both
of which are heavier than the
others.
Nitrogen. which is the next
heaviest.
Hydrogen. which is the lightest
of the four.
There il, therefore. always
more simple oxygen at the sea
level than on the mountains. But

the mountains than at the sea

At the lower levels-that is to
say, under 1000 feet above sea
level - there are several other
gases which exist in small proper
lions but are useful to human
life.
One Of them, helium, is the
lightest known gas.
Niton is another Of these rare
gases. and is important because

"A SCHOOL RUN
BY CHILDREN !.
BY VIM. A. McKeever


IH1LDREN can be taught
self-government and that
very easily. provided Q
strong and affectionate adult
personality stands behind the
scenes with definite guidance and
inspiration. No school can man
age itself, however. Il left to
it's own devices. Lacking In ex-
perience as to adult life and he
problems Of their future, even
high school pupils always make
a mess Of any unguided attempt
at self-government.
A certain high school Of $50
pupils, in a small Middle Western
town, has solved the problem Of
student government so well-fol.
lowing the ideal just outlined
that it seems fitting to commend
this plan to others. Here is the
program:
To help the teachers keep the
school financially sound and sue
cessful; to keep It always honest.
trustworthy, clean, decent, prop
erly amused, orderly, loyal and
contented.
To exercise kindness, good will.
helpfulness, respect for the rights
and property Of others. and to
mako it the best small high
school in the State.
AS one will readily observe,
the maxims given above arc
ideals that must have been
originated in the mind Of an
adult, but they arc easily grasp
ed and visualized by the younger
person. And the significant fact
is. they are doing the work.
Out of q thousand schools which
have visited I have never seen
any more enthusiasm and loyalty
as accorded by the whole school.
Not only is there enthusiasm for
athletics and extra-school pro-
grams, but there is a devotion to
class work and the preparation
Of lessons.
The athletic team, the band.
the chorus club, the literary
societies, the class organizations,
the cafeteria, the lecture course
all these are an integral part
of this educational regime which
seems to operate so we'll and to
fill the life of the young Adde'S
cents to the full.
But, mark the point. There IL

scenes. giving unfelt guidance
and inspiring the leaders to move
the mass in the right direction.

self.government In both school
and college.

: ''Hc is given the same amount
OF food that he always was, I am
quite sure. I'll ask his keeper
just to make certain"
So I sent for his keeper and
asked him. He assured me that
he was given the same amount Of
rice that his former keeper had
fed him and that there was no
reason why he should be 50 thin.
The veterinary went away. He
was puzzled, although he in
sisted that Tango was not a sick
animal.
But Tango got no better. In
fact, he got worse. He grew
thinner and thinner. His great
hide hung in folds about his big
body and he hardly had strength
TO get UP. SO I sent for the
Doctor again.
"Tango's WORSE" said when
he arrived. "L am terribly wor-
ried about him. I don't know
what I should do II anything
would happen to him."
Bring his out" said the
veterinary. IT want to SEQ how
he walks"
Bobby few off to ask the keeper
to bring out the invalid. and as he
came forward I almost wept. He
was a sorry looking elephant, I
can tell you. He could just about
drag himself along. That was all.
The veterinary examined him
carefully as the keeper stood by
looking rather nervous. I thought.
Suddenly the doctor said:
4 "Are you feeding this elephant
his regular rations?"
The keeper blushed. thought
it was from the feeling that he
was suspected Of unjustly not
doing the right thing. But I dis
covered afterward the real reason.
Right in the very midst Of his
protestations OF honesty, the
strangest thing happened. Tango
lifted his trunk weakly, stretched
It out and put it right around the
waist Of his keeper-just above
the belt where his blouse hung
loosely. And would you believe it,
as the trunk loosed the blouse. out
fell rice like a white fountain!
"You rogue" I cried; you've
been stealing Tango's rice. You're
dismissed"
We fed Tango up in q hurry
and soon he was as good as new,
