Z YOUNG children of today who
~ innoccntly imagine the North
and South Poles of the earth
to he real poles stuck in the
ground may yet live to see
their infantilc. ina ginings turned in
to actual fact.
Several men Of science of consider
able authority are at this moment in
dulging in "a reasoned vision of huge
towers dominating the top and
bottom" of the world. They see Gi-
gantic erections of latticed steel
work, perhaps thousands of feet high,
their bases firmly anchored in the
terra flrma nearest to the North Pole
and in the rock of the Antartic Con-
tinent. From the SUBMITS captive
balloons carry cleaning copper
cables still further aloft. and about
the upper reaches of these cables
they see a continuous electrical dis
play of lightnins-like pyrotechn;cs.
These real poles are to be the
means of supplying the whole world
with all the power. light and heat
that IL needs. They, are to throw
off and around the earth electrical
energy measured III millions OF horse
power. This power is to he picked
up by similar steel poles, cables and
balloons wherever it is required. 1t

drive all our trains and ships. heat
all our homes.
How has modern science developed
such Il weird fantasy?
Through worry chieHy-throug the
worry born of foresight and solicit
tude for coming generations of the
human race. III this case necessity
is really proving to be the mother
OF invention. for scientists are view

horrifying prospects Of our children
in their bitter struggle to wrcst an
existence from nature.

expensive his abode is, or whether
it consists Of two rooms or twenty,
if it is comfortable and pleasing to
look at.
He'd rather see a flower pot in

comfortable, than the most valuable
antique in town, if he has to keep
away from it because it might be
broken.
He wants to be able to smoke in

HENRY CANTWELL WALLACE

Henry c. Wallace, as secretary of az riculture, was a real "dirt" farmer, his family records showing that his ances- tors were also farmers as far back as they could be traced. He was an edu- cated farmer, but himself earned the money to complete his education by sue cessful farming of some of his fathers land during his twenty-second and twen- ty-third years. Thus his schooling had the broad basis of native inclination, ex- perience and ability on which to rest and develop. The fruit of his training was observed, not only in his own per sonal success in tilling the soil, but also in his influence in extending farm tech nique to others. He was strong fac tor in his adopted state of Iowa and in neighboring states in awakening all farmers to better and more profitable methods.
 His influence for better farming was most widely felt through the medium of his farm journal, known far and wide as Wallace's Farmer. He was able to give more exact training, however, in his capacity of professor of dairying at Iowa State College. When MT. Wallace was selected to head the department of agriculture, his appointment was re- garded as the most apt and happiest MT Harding made, with the possible excep-

"Light Is Breaking"

The establishments of Sweden, who have been in control of the government for the past few weeks. have adopted a new slogan. "The light is breaking" They see a change in world conditions and believe that only steady concentration on international good xill and peace will usher in the hesitating dawn. Europe has been haunted house too long. There has been a skeleton in the closet of Christendom and people are beginning to discover that the skeleton is nothing but rat ting dead bones, that can be thrown out. The sSe'eton is called mi;itarism. Here and there i:s worshippers dress it up in shining armOr and plumed helmet and make it strut around in pompous dignity. But the people are dis covering that the armor is hollow, that only skcielon stalks inside. From fear their sentiments are changing to laughter. They laugh at their own childish dread of former years. Militarism is discredited and re- jected. Toe sun is breaking through. Dawn and happiness.

The Right Word
THE SIXTEENTH SENTENCE. lEind fha ErrOr in This ArticIe.l
By ". CUKTIs NICHOLSON

The sixteenth sentence in the recent test reads as follows: '"The delegate with two alternates is coming into the hall"
 There is no error in the foregoing sentence. The use of the singular verb is may have puzzled some, but the expression with two alternates" does not make the subject delegate plural. The singular verbs in the following sentences are correct:
 An automobile with all of its accessories was given me last Christmas. ,-
 Franks sister with her two cousins was expected.
 Affect and Effect.
 P.F. O'NeiI, ThOmpsOnviIIe, Conn: Please advise which is the correct word to use in the following sentences:
 "'We do not know whether the relocation of this outlet would disturb the air circula- tion in the dryer and consequently (affect, effect) the efficiency"
 Answer: The right word is affect. Effect means to bring about; make as, The Board has decided to effect a reorganization of the committee; We must effect a new, set of rules.
 Affect means to change or influence: as, The relocation of the dryer will affect the efficiency; He was visibly affected by what I said; The presidents letter has already affected our plans.
 Effect and affect in the foregoing sentences, are verbs. When noun is needed, one should use effect; as, Did you note the effect upon him? The effect of this decision will be a change in the rules.

THE REVENUE IS FOUND

Public approval will follow the action of the city commission increasing to three dollars the court costs for viola tions of the traffic laws. This action made possible the further increase of salaries of policemen and firemen five dollars month. It is hoped that the city will administer this fund in such a manner as to keep it distinct and to use any surplus for the addition of new members to the uniformed forces. The city needs more policemen and more firemen, just as it needs more and bet ter street lights, all in the interest of protecting life and property in this com munity. It should be noted that the plan for raising this additional revenue was devised by the men themselves and their advisers. The city commission failed to devise any plan for providing the funds. It is believed that in sim liar manner funds can be provided for other urgent requirements, such as bet ter street lights, which the city budget inadequately contemplates.

about as bad as they can get. There are many reasons for believing that an up- ward trend is not far off in European af- fairs. The rehabilitation of German fi- nances and credit will soon be we'll under way. The French withdrawal from oc- cupied industrial areas is rapidly going forward. Although, the French are given a year for this withdrawal, they evident ly recognize the fact that continued maintenance of the French patrols in Germany hampers a return to industrial production, and entails an unnecessary expense. Therefore, the withdrawals will probably be principally completed within the closing months of the calen- dar year. N~s
 England's resources are amply equal to her rapid recovery as soon as her trade revival is in progress. With the loss of much of her manhood during the war, the mental reaction uniting many at first for return to civil life, the sac rifice of money and material, coupled with the collapse in Central Europe, England has been at great disadvantage. Her depression cannot last much longer, it is believed, with the gradually strengthening conditions throughout the world. ..- =
