SO many people are the victims of
so many habits. that the person of
equal ability who is willing to avoid
these habits is almost certain to sue
coed.
The most common of bad habits is
oyereating. Most of us eat at least a
third more than is gOpd for us. Amer
leans are said to be the fattest people
in the world. Excess baggage slows
up the body and the brain. Also, fat
is n drain on health. The insurance
companies are wary of fat people, ex-
perience having shown that they are
shorter lived than the lean ones.
Another bad habit is under-reading.
If you want to hide an idea put 1t in
book The number of readers of "A
certain popular weekly probably ex-
ceeds the total Of all the book readers
Of the United States. Enough books
are published-more than enough-but
the editions are too small. Not enough
people have the book-reading habit.
One other bad habit is mental loaf
ing. A lot of people believe they work
hard because they are at their business
or labor ten or twelve hours a day.
Outside of those hours they make no
attempt to do anything constructive.
Through habit, they are lazy, without
moving it.
These paragraphs will mean nothing
to anyone unless we can give them
faith that energy and honesty, fortified
by temperance and intelligence, will
take them where they wish to go.
Faith in common sense We must
get it by observation. Pick out the
men who are worthy of your admira-
tion Study them closely. You will
find that they work along very simple
lines.
Little things get most people. Harm
less practices, when regularly indulg-
ed, soon develop into habits with seri-
Gus consequences.
Don't follow the crowd, in its stupidi
ties. The advantage gained by being
sensible may be slight, but success, re-
member, is usually won by very mar

are actually engaged in farming, min
ing and numbering and how many are
engaged in fabricating and distributing
the products of the soil.
To be exact, of 41,614,24S people en-
gagged in gainful occupations in the
United States, 29,57O,6S7 or about II
per cent are engaged in manufactur-
ing, transportation, distribution and
allied activities.
Thus for one primary producer, two
are employed in converting the predict
to use and in placing it in the hands Of
the consumer.
In view of this is it any wonder
that the primary producers do not get
the major part Of the price?
Economists contend that the second
airy processes--transportation from one
section of the country to another, grad
ing for market, milling, refining and
delivering from the grocery to the
kitchen-are production just as surely
as scraping the ground with hoe is
production.
If people showed a willingness to
do without few Of these intermediary
processes there would be hope of re-
ducing prices by shortening the route
between the primary producer and the
consumer.

Every now and then farmer cuts
a wedge in a potato and inserts a slip
of paper, signed with his name and ad-
dress, on which are these words: 81
got 20 cents bushel for these pota-
toes. What did you pay?'
Three months later, a housekeeper
receives n half-peck Of potatoes from
her grocer. She finds the slip and
calculates that she paid on the basis Of
$3.50 a bushel.
Both she and the farmer think they
were robbed.
The government recently made a
very searching investigation of this
spread" in prices, but was unable to
find evidence of robbery anywhere
along the line.

/
Most individuals do not live as their
personalities and better natures wish
them to, but try to conform to the
pattern Of the majority. They say to
themselves: 81 must not be an excep-
ton; Tom, Dick and Harry are no
fools and what is good for them is also
'ood for me-"
And so the majority rules and also
fools, for nature bestOws her most
precious gifts not on the multitudes
but on the chosen few.
Genuine pearls and diamonds are
scarce; and likewise genius is rare.
We have never seen a multitude with
inventive ability, for the multitude has
only common sense, whereas an in
ventOr needs uncommon sense; just
as person with a common ear cannot
be great musician. A good cOmpOs-
er requires an extraordinarily gifted
ear, and that is why good composers
are few and far between. (From the
golden sayings of Epictetus).
The term majority rules" is mis-
leading, for if we look behind the
scenes, we shall discover that a min
ority often composed of demagogues.
is pulling the strings, and that the
majority are no more than puppets
who dance according to the way the
strings are manipulated. So it is in
politics, in stylesof dress, in war and
in peace.
The correction of this evil is almost
impossible, especially in our age of
democracy, Bolshevism and Socialism,
when the cry is, Let the people rule !"
Ii is a hopeless condition i'm many
lands, but one should not follow the
majority and be fooled by it, for the
majority in our age is surely no cri-
teriOn.
There We're times when the majority
had respect for authority. Then it
might hav been followed without i'll
effect because it had some standard,
even though that standard was NOT al
ways of the highest. But nowadays,
when there is almost no respect for
authority, the majority is nothing but
mob, and as such it is misleading
and should not be followed.
Many great nations, civilizations and
majOrities have collapsed in the past
and 1t is due to the minOrities that
mankind was spared. Ii was a case
of survival of the fittest," and not al |
ways the fittest physically. Therefore
the thinking individual should be salts |
fled to be one Of the sensible minority |
rather than crave to be among the
halfmad majority.
Let the majority rule and fool whore
you must submit, but do not let it
rule and fool your spirit.
In time of madness like this, there
are also found great misleaders. false
crooked-thinking philosophers
and empty-headed thinkers and writ
ers, who try to fool you by discrediting
old truths, old beliefs, and the very
belief in the Almighty. These fellows
are only the mOuthpieces of the mis-
leading majority. the embodied spirits
of the multitude's degeneration. and
the sensible man should not allow him
self to be misled by them, though they
boast of having discovered new hori-
IONS and of having exposed" this one
or that, this thing or that.
In truth, they have nothing new TO
say. and it is only to the shallow in
dividual that they appeal, and not to
the critical and learned mind. They
are either consciously misleading. or
they are, more likely, themselves mis-
lead, victims of the times and of the
fooliIig majority.

The observance of Constitution Day,
November 16, in rural schools should
be of special significance.
That the Constitution was ordained
and established for a more perfect
union and to establish justice is known
to every school pupil. That it, with
the Declaration of independence, is an
epoch making document, that the real
significance Of both can be understood
only by studying their provisions in
the light Of current thought at the
time they were written-these are
facts not so well known but of mo-
mentous Importance to American boys
and girls.
Constitution Day gives an opportun-
ity to emphasize them. Interpreted in
American ideals and applied to educa-
tion, these two great documentary
masterpieces guarantee equality of edu-
cational opportunity to the children of
America.
1t is well known to everyone that
there is a vast difference in the kind
of educational facilities provided for
rural and for urban children in Ar
kansas. In rural communities the
school term is shorter, the instruction
Of poorer quality, fewer children
finish high school and college
This situation is contrary to the
spirit Of our Constitution. 1t is not
only unjust but unnecessary. Consti-
tuition Day should be a reminder and
an incentive, reminder that equality
of educational opportunity is neces-
sary to the establishment of justice
an incentive to all communities, but
especially to the less progressive ones,
to improve their schools to the utmost
of their ability.

THE Patent Office quit requiring
i models to be deposited in connec-
ton with the applications for patents
about 1880, except in an occasional
case where the invention is difficult
of understanding from the verbal de-
scription. So the asSemblage of
models now being sorted over for
sale is by no means up-to-date.
They do, however, represent every
phase of human endeavor looking to-
ward the making of anything that
man uses, or that it was hoped he
might be induced to use. There is
practically nothing in the world, made
by man, but that the Patent Office
has approved patent rights upon it,
and these early models are the fore
runners of the most remarkable de-
velopment of human ingenuity ever
known in any country on in any age
of the worlds history.
Beyond any doubt this is the most
inventive nation in the world With
only one sixteenth of the population,
one-half the worlds patents have
been issued in the United States, now
numbering well over a million and
half During the last decade, figuring
the additions by immigration and the
death records, about one person in
each $50 of our population has asked
for at least one patent on some device
or other. Eighty thousand asked for
patents last year and more than half
that number got them.
The most fundamental and revolu-
tionary patents have been born in
this country, and been encouraged in
every possible way since the very
birth of the Nation. The Constitution
provided for patent monopolies. Presi-
dent Washington, in his first message
to Congress, recommended the pas
sage of the patent act, and the patent
law was passed by the first Congress,
in 1890.
The first patent was issued in 1890
only three the first year; because
it was Jefferson's idea, as the first
patent chief, that the usefulness of
an invention rather than its novelty
should rule. In the first three years
there were 81 patents issued, and ap-
Evening star., 1925-08-09

plicants were so aroused that in 1893
the law was made more liberal.
While the United States was thus
early fostering inventive genius and
affording it protection, it is interest
ing to note that it was not until the
introduction of the steam engine
that the patent system was crystal
lized in England. Since that time
not an important advance has been
made but has been the subject of
patents.
The United States patent system is
now a model for the world, and other
coutries are molding theirs after
ours.
1t should be emphasized that the
steam engine marked the line over
which the world stepped from the
old manual power to mechanical
power SO that is the greatest single
event in the worlds industrial history.
While we are noting the freak con-
traptions and bizarre ideas that
have been patented. we must not
overlook the fact that the Patent
Office is mot merely a clearing house
for the fantastic vagaries of the
imagination of wild eyed" inventors.
1t is really the corner stone of Ameri-
can business. All of our great in
duStrieS and manufacturing plants
are absolutely dependent upon some
patent rights. The great corpora
tions maintain extensive and eX-
pensive laboratories and workshops,
in which the best talent of the coun-
try is constantly engaged in develop
ing new ideas, in improving methods
and machines, so that the work of
the world may be better done with
greater economy of time and human
labor, and for decreased cost

serrated teeth and operated by trig-

for several days until the tapeworm
became very hungry; then the trap,
baited with sweet;neats, would be eau

AS the hungry worm sought the de-

head and he could then be drawn out
