So the Bad Chaps took hold of

NO PENNY-PINCHING

President Hoover has announced that the "Coo-
idge" economy program is to be continued in his adj
minstration and department heads have been warned
not to expect to get more money than they got last
Economy in government is essential, and it is
gratifying to learn that Mr. Hoover is properly
of it. 1t might, however, be anticipated that Mr..
Hoovers kind of economy will take slightly different
form from that which we have in the last half
dozen years.
True economy often calls for the expenditure Of
large sums of money This is especially in gov
ernmental organization, where dollar spent today
often save $40 few years later.
Mr.. Hoover being engineer, doubtless knows
that perfectly. So, predict, his economy will not
be of the penny -pnchng kind.

Gladly Offered Life 's's
ca to Save Commanders

A young sailorman, Reuben James,
after whom United States destroyer
is named, saved the life of Stephen
Decatur, widely known naval officer.
The incident occurred in a gunboat
action in the war with the pirates of
Tripoi. During the encounter young
Reuben James stuck close to his COM
mander's side, warding off the attacks
made on Decatur from behind When
his right arm was disabled by scim-
itar euts he shifted his cutlass to the
left and fought on. Soon this arm
was useless, too, and the weapon
dropped from his hand. At that mo-
ment he saw a pirate lift his scimitar
. to strike Decatur's head as he lay on
the deck locked in a death struggle
with the Tripolitan captain. AS both
Reuben James arms were useless. he
deliberately put his own head in the
way and caught the stroke aimed for
Decatur 1t was mighty blow but
the hard-headed sailor was back at
his post in three weeks and lived to
a ripe old age.

! fore this basic principle of scientific
agriculture was thought of by a peo-
pie who were to build nation deep
ly rooted in the products of the soil.
AS patron of the Improvement Of
live stock in this country and the In
PRODUCTION of new fruits and vegeta-
bleS he was in constant cOmmunica-
tion with men interested in these sub
jects, both in America and Europe.
While he was President he laid the
foundation for the modern system of
government crop reporting by person

the earliest and latest appearances
of 81 different farm products.

the fauna and flora, weather condi-
tions and the like. 1t is not generally
known, perhaps, but he was also in
terested in ethnology and in 1891 he
made tour of Long Island to visit
the Indians of that region and to re-
cord their language The result was

Rotation of crops and other forms
of scientific agriculture, however, are
not the only things for which the ag-
riculture of today Ms indebted to
Thomas Jefferson. When the farmer
plows up an old meadow, turning the
sod over upon itself, he can thank
Thomas Jefferson, the inventor. For
it was this man who invented the
pillow mold-board which makes mod
ern grassland blowing possible. When
the motorist folds down the top of
his car to get the full benefit of the
cool breeze, he can thank Jefferson
for the invention which makes it pos
sible to do so. When the desk work
er tits back in his comfortable swivel
chair or swings around easily instead
of getting up and turning the chair,
he should remember gratefully the
name of Thomas Jefferson, for it was
this Virginian who invented the only
improvement in seating devices since
the time of the early Egyptians. In
fact, all inventors should look upon
Jefferson as their patron saint. For
when a man devises something new
and establishes in court his right to
it against those who would initiate 1t
and profit thereby, he is indebted to
Jefferson for laying down the prin-
ciple upon which the United States
patent office is founded.
No less interesting than Jefferson
the scientist, and the inventor, is JEFF
ferson the patron of fine arts. He
was keenly interested in literature
and was himself a writer of note
He was a musician and an accom-.
