An American Philosophy

Americans people are by mere external des-
tiny fated to be great, but whether shall
be great achievement great catastrophe, de-
ponds upon our development of philosophy says
Prof. Alexander Mekcljohn of the University of
Wisconsin philosophy department. in brochure just
published by the American Association.
Nothing in human life Prof. Mekeljohn con-
of men should have power which they do not know
how to use, should be masters of a situation they
cannot comprehend, and today that terror is upon
us who are Americans. | am certain that America
has not yet achieved philosophy, but am almost
as sure that she has one in the making
Prof. Meikeljohn urges Americans to study and
achieve philosophy which will allow them to settle
international problems without war; political situa-
tions without voting and individual differences with
out compromise This particular philosophy APP
pears as visionary and mystifying 10 most Of as
the theory of the fourth dimension What is it?
Prof. Mekeljohn believes that war is an unsats-
factory and unfair way to settle dispute. He be-
licves that blind and misguided voting leads only to
more voting to determine the principles of the first
vote. lie believes that compromise is essentially
wrong because it docs not seek just decision but
a satisfactory decision which will be the
least obnoxious to all parties concerned
Our philosophy today, says Prof. Nickel john, is
concerned with words rather than thoughts. He
gives as an example the debate between the scen-
fist and theologist.
The scientist says that the world is millions OF
years old, the theologist says six days. However,
adds the fundamentast, if you consider day mil.
lion years. then the Bible and science agree. 1t is
by such arguments that the main problems Of de-
bate are lost and words and interpretations become
fundamental. Such arguments lead men farther
apart, keep then, enemies and fail to offer solu-
ton of any value

To the Farmers

Secretary Jaroine, speaking at Pomona, Fla, has
Il word of praise for the farmers Of the south By
paying increased attention to crop rotation devel-
opment of forage resources building up of livestock
enterprises and better practices in connection with
cotton. the southern farmer has progressed far
But the secretary has wider message than that
10 deliver. lie suggests ways and means for im-
proving the condition Of agriculture over the whole
United States, and his words arc wise
Better management of production is one KEY he
offers to in farming. On the other hand,
he admits that need better marketing and dis
tributing conditions. Legislation may remedy the
latter phase, but it is up to the farmer himself to
manage the production end of it,
The secretary calls the chief problem in the sur
plus question that Of merchandising. He urges bet
ter provision Of facilities for storage and carryover
and for obtaining credit He calls for collective ac-
ton in controlling the stream of supply that flows
TO the consumer.
Any legislative relief for the farmer he says must
utilize farm organizations to- be effective. He
thinks the bill providing for division Of cooper
ative marketing in the Department Of Agriculture,
which has passed the house, will have a salutary eff
feet on distribution.
The secretary favors legislation that will enable
the farmers through their organizations, to help
themselves. This is the best form of relief that
farmers could have, if the farmers will think. Some
of the relief has to from the mind Of the farm
err himself.
Jardine is backing the Tincher bill, providing for
an appointment of farm marketing commission.
According to this bill seven men would be appointed
by the president. These men would come from the
ranks Of farm organizations in the federal reserve
districts The twelve federal reserve districts would
seat three members each on an advisory council
and this council of &c would make nominations to
the president.
But the working out Of this plan again depends on
the farmers. The legislation is no panacea, but it
shows the farmers the way whereby they can help
themselves.

The seventeenth Of May is to the Norwcgians what
the Fourth of July is to Americans, and 1914 is to
them what 1776 is to U.S.
For 1914 saw the end Of IA struggle for Norwc-
gian freedom that four centuries old During
all those years the Norwegians, to whose aspiring
souls and stout hearts freedom was the breath Of
life, restless under Danish rule.
But the climax when the powers of Europe,
led then by Napoleon, in 1910, coolly transferred
Norway from Denmark to Sweden, giving this lib
erty-lovng nation chattcl to that Jean Bap-
tiste jules Bernadotte who, the son Of an advocate
of Pau, rose to be marshal in the armies Of Ma
poleon and became king Of Sweden as Prince
Carl Johan.
Against this browning outrage the Norwegian
people united man, and the result was tina.
long delayed Norwegian freedom, which was en-
joyed in mainly harmonious union with Sweden
until, in 1905, peaceful arrangement with it's
neighbor and kindred country gave Norway the full
independence it now enjoys.
Norway is. the mother Of Ibsen, Grcg Bjornson,
Nanscn, Lie and many others known to the litcra-
ture, art and science Of the world Norway is also
the mother of host Of sturdy citizens of this coun-
try whose love for the ancestral home land does not
impair but strengthens their loyalty to the land of
their adoption.

MOSQUITOES is the best camp site.
If it is possible, you should select
a place where the soil Is sand or
gravel.
Such soil assures adequate drain
age. You should know that all un-
dcrbush about . camp should be
cleared away, for such underbrush
frequently shelters mosquitoes.
If you are planning to spend some
time on one camp site or in per-
manent camp you should be sure
that the camp is provided with wood
on flooring raised few inches above
the earth. Due care should be given
tn see that q pure water supply is
available. Unless you know that the
water is pure it is best to take no
chances and boil all water used Tor
drinking purposes.
Sunburn
Be careful about sunburn. Do not
expose your skin too long at ono
time to the intense rays OF the sun.
Don't be afraid Of fresh air and sun
shine, but acquire your summer tan
gradually. Don't try to crowd
three months tan into "a hours.
Sunlight is one OF natures most
powerful medicines. You may DC
more sensitive to the effects OF sun
burn than are some other people. In
dividuals differ as to the amount Of
sunlight which they can endure with
out injury. y
Eye strain frequently results from
direct exposure to sunlight for
long period of time. Disturbances OF
the circulatory and nervous sys-
tens may also be brought shout by
long exposure. Sun baths, like water
baths, are beneficial provided you do
not remain in them too long.

Letting the Bow Learn

A physician in New York State wanted to give
his cleven-year-old boy frst-hand picture of what
life is in a city So he handed him enough money
to last three days and put him train for Buff
falo
The doctor had faith that his sons steps would
turn in the right direction and that faith usti-
fled. The boy spent time in the business district,
visiting stores, the banks, riding street cars, asking
all kinds Of questions.
Another day he spent in an art gallery. went to
the ZOO, and then to the top Of twentythree story
building to get bird's-eye view Of the thing. He
got big kick out Of this.
Then he took his first ride on ferry-to Fort
Erie, Ontario, and compared the Canadian side with
Ours.
