STUPIDITY OF WAR.

Everyone who thinks about it must realize the absurdity of placing two armies of in the field to kill each other, when the themselves have personal grudge against those whom they are sup posed to kill nor any definite idea of what it is all about.
 This was strkingly illustrated few weeks ago ill China, where October 13 two opposing gen. erals, Marshal Ho and General Lu both secretly de- serted their armies and fled to Japan. Not knowing that their leaders had departed, the contending mics fought on for eight hours.
 When it was discovered that the generals had gone the two armies threw down their arms and mingled with each other in friendly fashion. This incident is vouched for by Mr. M. P. Walker, treas urer of the Episcopal mission at Shanghai, who had such statement broadcast

A SENSIBLE CALENDAR.

For long time it has been recognized that our present method of dividing time into months of un- equal length is illogical and confusing and many plans have been suggested for improvement.
 Prof. c. F. Marvin, chief of the U. s. Weath- Bureau, suggests that the year be divided into thirteen months of four weeks each, making holi- day of the 365th and an additional holiday of the 365th day in leap years.
 This would cause each date to fall on the same day of the week in every month of twenty eight days. That is if January 1 were Sunday, the first day of every month in the year would be Sunday, the second would be Tuesday and the third Wednes- day and so on, in every month.
 No one deny that this would simplify calcu- latons ill which days weeks and months are invov-- ed, and anyone might soon learn the day of any month printed calendars would not have to be con- suited every time wanted to know the day of the week corresponding to ahy given date.

PRINTING THE NEWS

One of the most striking tendencies of the mod ern newspaper is it's fairness in presenting political news. as compared with the customs of the past.
 In the old days, newspapers rarely gave any publicity to the expressions of candidates or lead CTS of opposite parties. A political meeting held by the opposition was formerly either given scant space grossly misrepresented ignored altogether
 Not so today. Newspapers print all the they can, giving space to all parties and candi- dates in order that their readers may be informed While there are exceptions fairness is the rule.
 And this policy of fairness is what makes Am erican newspapers the greatest and most dependa be purveyors of information in the world.

TAXES AND BONDS.

Everybody wants reduced taxes, yet majority can nearly always be induced to vote for any sort of bond issue. How can these two ideas be recon ciled? They cant be.
 If continue to vote bonds, we must expect continued increases in taxation. That ought to be plain to anyone even though he has little intelli- gence.
 The question each voter should decide then is whether he believes the proposed improvemnt for which bonds asked justfies the payment of the increased tax. AS guide in making his decision he should ask these questions:
 Is the improvement really necessary? Do the local conditions warrant the expenditure? Will the making of this improvement prevent or delay important improvements? Will the funds raised be used judiciously and economically? Is the amount asked excessive?
 These and other questions along the same line should determine the action of the individual voter who should not be swayed by the appeals of the

 Many bond issues necessary and often it would be short tsightedness not to vote them, but equally often they merely the means of carry ing out some politicians scheme which is entirely beyond the range of and common sense. Think before you vote!

THE SEVEN WONDERS

Nearly everyone has heard of the ''seven won ders of the world,'' but probably few could name them and still fewer could tell what became of them Those interested ill such things might clip this out for their scrap book.
 The seven wonders of the world were so named by Antipater, writer of Palestine about 200 years before Christ as follows:
 The Hanging gardens of Babylon, destroyed in ASA B. C., more than 100 years before they were listed among the ''wonders."
 The Temple of Diana at Ephesus, burned in 262 the Day of Our Lord.
 The statue of Zeus at Olympus destroyed in the year 408.
 The Colossus of Rhodes, sold for junk i'll 653
 The Lighthouse of Pharos at Alexandria, fell n earthquake in 1375
 The Mausoleum of Artemsia destroyed in 14C2.
 The Pyramid of Cheops, the only one of the 'seven wonders' still in existence.
 Such were the seven wonders of the ancient world. Many lists of modern wonders have been made, but recent writer selects not the perishable works of man, but the discoveries and inventions which have revolutionized civilization.
 He names the radio the telephone the airplane, the Xray, antiseptics spectrum analysis and radi- um. Whether his list is the best that might be made or not the wonders mentioned will survive as long humanity exists, bestowing untold benefits upon mankind.
