his essay on Mother Earth with this

this is called dew."-London Tit-Bits.

Munich, Bavaria, Oct. 29.-Two
hundred Jewish families have been
expelled from Bavaria, and as many
more are awaiting deportation. The
explosions were made by order OF
DR.. Won Kahr, the Dictator, and were
made on the ground Of inability to es.
tablish the right of domicile.
Among those expelled were many
old residents who, while not SUBJECTS
of the Barvarian State, are citizens
of the Reich. Many of them saw ser.
vice during the war in Barvariar
regiments. A number of East Euro
pean Jews from Austria were among
the expelled.
The houses owned by those deport-
ed have been requisitioned for the al
legged purpose of housing refugees
from the Ruhr. The Bavarian Jewry
is in a panic. Many heads of families
have offered to leave Bavarian terri.
tory voluntarily, if they are permit.
ted to change their residence to other
German provinces.

government statistics showing the

eminent statistics:
A high school graduate earns on the

A poorly educated man earns on

Increased earnings of high school
graduates on account of four years
(720 school days) Of additional
schooling-$40,000 less $4,000
equals .................. $4,000
Therefore, each additional day
spent in school adds to the life earn
ings of high school graduate $751;

Every day the first boy spent in
high school was worth $25 to him in
after years, for it added that amount
to his life's earnings.

Around the corner I have a friend,
In the great city that has no end.
Let days 60 by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it a year is gone;
And I never see my friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race.
He knows like him just as well
AS in the days when I rang his bell
And he rang mine. We were younger
then,
And now we are busy, tired men
Tired with playing a foolish game,
Tired with trying to make a name.

THE ROMAN ATTITUDE TOWARD THE JEWS

The purring and fawning of Ca
tholics around the Jews for some
time past, in order to get the Jews
to "pay the freight" in their social
ed work of discriminating the Ku
Klux Khan" is a well-known fact.
The Catholics know that the pre-
sent fight of the Khan is not direct
ed against the Jews, but against
Rome herself, to prevent her from de-
stroying our free institutions, the
public school system, free speech.
free press and free assembly.
Running true to form, Rome pre-
fers to spend other peoples money in
stead of her own. Her hand is ever
alive to receive, but dead to release,
Always taking in, but never giving
out; the mortmain of an immortal
beggar.
The strangest part of this matter
is that the Jews have apparently
allowed themselves to be drawn into
the web of the Roman spider, who SC
cunningly invited them into her par
lor. Have they forgotten how, in the
past Rome has prosecuted them
whenever it suited her to do so, and
will again and again, when in power ?
If so, the following occurrence, now
taking place, should refresh their
memories, and be a warning to them
Again can they see Romanism in &C.

SCHOOLS AND ROADS
INTERDEPENDENT
-k-K-K-
History Shows Amazing Parallel Be-
tween Road Conditions and De-
gree of Education
-K-K-K-

Too often the relationship between
good roads and schools is considered
to begin and end with the use of We
hicles to bring students to and from
their institutions of learning. AS a
matter of fact, the relationship is
much deeper, of greater significance.
For it is the universal history of
all mankind that where transporta-
ton is ready and easy, civilization
follows; that where transportation is
difficult and scarce, is barbarism> and
lawlessness. And where is civiliza-
ton is the demand for education;
where is barbarism is satisfaction
with ignorance.
Bad Roads-Illiteracy
The illiGerate sections of the Unit
ed Statese are so, not only because of
lack of schools and lack of means
to TRANSPORT children to and from
schools, but because of lack of pop
ular demand for schools and for edu-
cation. The good road not only
brings the possibility of the school,
and the means of getting children to
and from the school, it also brings
the better farm, the traveller, the
ecturer, the library, the electric
light, the telephone, the community
organization, all of which tend to
create a demand for information,
for wisdom, for "book larnin'," for
education.
The nation, at present engaged in
giving millions and millions of dol
lars to the states to match their
funds in federal aid road building, is
not only supplying transportation
which will aid and help the schools,
but is building up where it as yet
exists but sparsely, a civilization
which will in turn create such a de-
mand for schools and teachers and
books, as will speedily, in those re-
gions, turn back the tide of illiteracy.
Roads will help draw the United
States where she belongs, towards
the top of the column of nations,
listed on. a basis of illiteracy, in
stead of as at present, away down
in the list.
