THE AVERAGE MAN"

Who and what is the average"
man that we hear and read about so
often? Prof. Harry L. Hollingsworth,
of Columbia University has examined
$4,000 American men, and as result
arrives at the following specifications
for the average:
Weight, $50 pounds; height, feet
7 inches; his brain weighs 1900
grams, twice as much as that of a
great ape; his pulse beats about sew
Gritty minute. He has vocabulary Of
$500 words. Ask him to define "dll-
apidated" or philanthropy" or "coin-
age" and he can't do it, but he under
stands the words "shrewd" and "ir.
sure" He cannot accurately disting-
uish between the words poverty
ard misery" nor can he tell you the
difference between revolution" and
evolution" He can repeat sever
numbers but when asked to repea,
eight numbers he will leave out one
Hle quit school at the eighth grade

little bit about physiology. He
Knows practically nothing about
government, political science or polit

literature he knows almost nothing
On an intelligence test he rates about

man will die.
How do you compare with the

Capitalization Of industry.

think it would be better for this coun.

to be further congested in the great

NO GESTURE OF PoL1TENEss

Guests at the state parks hereafter
will be furnished with all the fire
wood they need. Park attendants
NOW are splitting and pilina the
wood so it will be seasoned by
summer. Camp kitchens and few
primitive brick ovens will be turned
over to the park guests for use.
But this, be it understood, is not
to be Interpreted as mute testi-
monial that the state is SO glad to
welcome the tourists that somebody
will wait on them hand and foot.
There is no fulsome hospitality nor
gesture of politeness involved. The
truth is that the inexperienced cam
pers were hacking down pretty trees,
pee,ink bark off ancient frs and
slicing kindling wood off picturesque
stumps or splitting up benches and
garbage boxes for fuel. So the parks
committee decided that too many
tourists were lazy or did not know
how to gather fire wood and if the
state was to save its natural scenery
it had better gather fuel itself.

There seems to me a real remedy for

the mixing of industry with agricul.

SCHOOL NOTES

The White Bluffs girls basket ball
team was defeated by Richland at
White Bluffs, Friday evening. AL
though the White Bluffs girls were
waging a losing battle, they fought
very hard and showed good opposi-
ton to the Richland team.
The White Bluffs girls had many
opportunities for shooting but were
Unable to convert their shots. The fl
nal score was 80 to 7.
Although the White Bluffs team has
not proved itself winner this season,
it has developed some good material,
which will probably be en- the floor
again next year. In the last two games
Olive Walker has taken the laurels
as guard. Her. ability to recover the
ball from the opposing team has made
her stand out throughout the game.
Olive is a freshman.

When Ruth Kline fell asleep,
Surely the angels of heaven that day
Ceased their fair labor
And began to play K
Their sweetest music
Just to welcome her,
Our best beloved.
The very stars grew dim
To see that dear soul
In splendor leap
To meet the Master she loved,
When Ruth fell asleep.
Fearless, she preached the
Golden Rule, and lived it, too.
Her thoughts were fragrant
Blossoms wet with dew,
OF human kindness.
An Apostle of crystal truth

Her own from earliest youth,
Upon that sunlit shore,
Where life's glad morning breaks,
May all the beauties
That she loved on earth
Greet her, when she awales.

with only sections of the country prosperous.
Prosperity must be passed around if any,
body is long to enjoy it. This question can
not be solved by the farmers alone, but the
majority opinion is that there is no legisla-
tive remedy for agriculture. 1t is an eco
nomic question pure and simple and must be
worked out accordingly.
A few years ago it was contended that
agriculture did not have sufficient credit
facilities That proposition was often made

agriculture now has ample credit facilities.
