 The true sportsman delights n the game rather than the score. A full creel or welfilled bag is his trophy of success But he knows that no man can hope to win all the time and he is quite content when he returns empty handed, for he has had healthful recreation and has communed with nature in manner that only the outdoors-man knows He has learned lessons from brooks and trees from fishes in the streams, from animals in field and woods; he has smeed the sweet odors of the forest he has in his nostrs the tang of field and moorland, he has pictures artists have strven in vain to paint he has found: 4

STILL THE WAR goes merrily on regarding the proposed literacy bill. Against it we have seen not single argument which would stand analysis and the arguments for it, which are predicated on the danger of native domination, are fully as fallacious.
 One camp argues that inasmuch as the Declaration of Independence says that Governments derive their just power from the consent of the govern ed," that any such test is un-Ameri- can in principle. The other group answers that the framers of the Dec laration of Independence presupposed electors of sufficient education to in- telligently consent to or reject any measure for their government. And so it goes.
 No one should be allowed to cast a ballot who is not possessed of suffi- cient education to do so intelligently. Whether that shuts out more natives or whites is immaterial. By the same token the duty revolves upon a com monwealth demanding such a requi- site of those who seek the right of suffrage, to provide means for the education of all it's people of whatever race.-Ex.

VOLCANOES, GOOD AND BAD

WE ARE indeed fortunate who do not live under the dark of nature. A heavy snowstorm or flood in spring is unpleasant and frequently full of danger But it is visitation common to man. kind
 It is little difficult for us to comprehend the terror the abjec and gripping feeling of panic that is upon the Mexican population which lives at the foot of Popocatapetl, that monstrous volcano
 The successive catastrophes that have issued from the lava fountains of Vesuvious are in danger, it is feared, of repetition by the active Mexican crater Engineers, caught in the possibility of the eruption in the future are at loss for means to prevent wholesale wastage of life and property All that the world hope is that Popocatapetl will hold to its fiery stream.
 Not all volcanoes, happily, are sources of de- struction. In Hawaii the extinct crater of Pablo has just been tapped, and is supplying the city of Honolulu with water supply of 100000 gallons day. The town of Hilo is raising fund to con- quer the active volcano Klauea and utilize the mendous volume of gasses there for industrial and other purposes.
 Those gases, according to scientists, may be the not only of practically unlimited motive power, bu talso contain all the food elements neces- sary to sustain the human body-carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and lime :

NOT WHAT, BUT HOW.

EVERY ONCE in while is reminded that in
 little while Christmas will be here. Of the merry season is still more than weeks away but many children and grown-ups have already begun to make their plans
 To do the kind of thing that old Krskingle does takes lot of planning if it is to be done we'll ill manner of speaking you have to get ready for 1t. Not that this planning is hard work, even if you go at it with all your might and main because as every boy and girl knows when you do anything to make anyone happy, it is never hard work, and doing it, the more fun it is.
 If you were to ask him face to face, Santa Claus would tell you that lot of people miss half the fun of Christmas because they forget that 1t ism what is given that counts, but how the thing is given. He would tell you that what thing costs how much it shines has nothing to do with it. What really counts is how much affection and kindness and well-wishing you put into it. It's what you are, and not what the gift s that counts.
 That's why Christmas is such wonderful sea- son; and that is why most people who like Santa Claus and Christmas try to plan and get ready for this great day, that they may have most of them selves to give when that day comes.
 Santa Claus never yet waited till the last min- ute and then scurried around and wondered what he would do about this and about that. You can guess from the stories they tell about him. and from the way he looks, that he is the kind who does things when they ought to be done-quite while before the last minute. And in these things it is we'll to follow Santa s example.

IN AN UNUSUAL proclamation issued last week by Olaf Melby, pio- neer merchant and mayor of Summit, South Dakota, he gives one of the most sensible bits of advice, to our mind, that we have ever read. He says:
 "Your home people are the only ones interested in you and your welfare. Do not let strangers tell you what to do. Better ask your neighbor, your banker or merchant. Outsiders only want your money and are not otherwise interested in your advancement. Stick to your community and all your friends, and you will wear diamonds"
 The advice is pertinent in that dur ing the past few weeks many propo-

BUYING THE TOYS

SOME LITTLE girls will have big, flaxen-haired dolls smiling from their stockings on Christmas morning. Some little boys will have toy airplanes, bomb -throwers and all the other paraphernalia of modern nursery warfare.
 Some other little girls and boys won't
 But those whose doles are the ordinary saw dust kind with eyes staring, it must be confessed rather stupidly, in front of them and those whose toy soldiers just everyday fellows, to be con- graduated
 The toys have known it all along. They have known too that the humber ones of the assemblage, now so shiny with paint in thousand toy shops over the land, are due for far happier life than their pretentious brothers and sisters who destined for the homes of the rich. For a toy s happiness is measured by the love that is lavished upon it. And the child who has simple toy thinks far more of it than he or she who has new trinket for every mood.
 Psychologists are beginning to find this out. They have worked out whole involved system of toy teachings, in which the child mind dwells prin- cipay on simple objects plain contours and brave, not delecate colors.
 So if momentary sigh comes to you because you cannot afford to have Santa Claus bring the best there is' to your little lad or lassie smile in stead. They will be all the better for it. @

AN UNNECESSARY SACRIFICE

MUCH AS WE admire the youngsters who go shouting about the streets and dropping into the school houses, taking sunshine and happiness with them, most of us are far too careless in allowing our little ones to take risks of accident
 The statement just made by the American Red Cross that 10000 children under IA years of age killed in accidents each year in the United States is appalling Big figures are hard to comprehend. But when we think of each one of these innocent youngsters sent to the slaughter of careessness we realize what of poignant grief has been cast up.
 Every mother who has lost child has con- stant sorrow. But it is not alone in suffering that the nation loses. Twenty thousand boys and girls cut off before their talents could flower their faculties be developed have lessened the quality of our citizenship for the next generation in meas ure that it is impossible to compute. This should not be.
 Such an easy thing it is to warn child that he must be careful So little trouble to provide training in the habit of discretion Burns falls, auto and other vehicular accidents, drowning and poisoning exact the heaviest toll. certain num- Der of such occurrences always avoidable acci- dents But the proportion of them that be traced back to carelessness the part of the child or some adult is large. Let us have care. Our children must not be in the silent army of 10000 that reproaches the nation.
