RUNNING

-~4<'A distinguished American editor scoffs at the
speed Of Nurm, the great Finnish runner, because
motor go faster and keep it up longer He
thinks Nurmi's remarkable racing in New York is of
very little
This is shallow view of the matter, inspired by
undue zeal for mechanical progress. Such argu-
ment IS sufficiently answered by the thrill that
to every normal human being when he sees magn-
fcen athletic feat reads adequate account of
1t enthusiasm that pushes humanity ahead and there
is enthusiasm in gas engine though certain kind
of enthusiasm make one. steel piston
moving up and down within a steel cylinder, under
the impact of gasoline explosion, is poor substitute
for human heart, far real values concerned.
The human at its best is athletic. This is not
saying that athletics is the best thing about the human
race, but that periods of highest achievement in
separable from athletic activity and admiration for
physical prowess. Genuine vigor of mind and soul
to require vigor of body. History shows that
men degenerate physically they start degeneratng
morally and mentally too.
Body and SOUL somehow go together, upholdng
and refectng each other So the whole civilized world
insnctively turns from its dry scientific trumphs to
draw force and inspiration from a file exhibition
of this ensoued machine call the human body.

SOLAR AND LUNAR SPEED

Speaking OF solar eclipses-as everybody will be
doing in few days-an American astronomer says:
'Ecpses far back 1868 B. c. have been utilized
in predicting the motions of the sun and moon, and
some of these have shown that there is unexplained
acceleraton of the Of 1913 seconds per century
onds per century"
On mature consideration, most Of us will refuse
10 find that very alarming If the wants to gain
speed in its journey around the earth at the rate Of
about II seconds in century and the earth wants to
gain in its journey around the at the rate Of one
and one-haf seconds century, that is all right with
US. We can regulate watches accordingly. The
human race itself is so busy breaking speed records
that it is not much impressed with such modest eX-
amples of celestial rivalry.

ing OF one above another The first law of coopera-
toh snouid be the golden rule Honesty and sincerity
OF purpose must be guides before we can success

in store
Ihere has been too iauch t1lougnt given in the
past TO such slogans the survival of the fittest
Whieh call forth the animal instincts and make
m willing to strive for at the expense of his
prothers But gradually, the futility and waseful-
ness OF these methods are being impressed upon hu-
anty and is realizing that in the universal law of
protherhood and good will is true happiness, success
and universal prosperity.
Stability of the market one of the outgrowths of
cooperation. We do not want excessive prices in
times OF shortages do abnormay low
prices when crops good. We want what is fair
according to the law of supply and demand.
During the past year there has been great deal of
discussion over the advisabity of continuing to
game farmers into cooperative associations. Coop

method by which cansuccessfuly handle, not only
