Storage For Big Crop

In anticipation of a big soybean
crop this year, leading professors
are planning large increases in
elevator space for storage to be
available before this years har-
vest of beans begins flowing to
the market next October.
Among the Illinois firms an
nouncing storage expansions are
Archer-Daniels-Mid with a new
five million bushel grain elevator
head house and processing plant
to be built at Decatur, and enlarg-
ed facilities by Swift and Com
pany, including space for SOC. 600
bushels at Champaign.
1t is reported, but as yet uncon-
firmed, that the A. E. Staley com
pany may add substantial storage
space in Decatur, besides acquir-
ing certain outside country eleva-
tor interests. The Glidden com
pany Of Chicago is also mentioned
in connection with new elevator
construction.
Professors declare that a study
of country storage rates of the
past few years has indicated that
it is more economical to build per-
manent space than it is to rent
space at the current rates. 1t is
understood that some of the giant
facilities of the new Archer ele-
vator may also be made available
to other processing companies.
This new construction by soy
bean processing firms lends an
optimistic note to the outlook for
industry, and should tend to in
crease confidence for the future
on the part of business and indus
try in other fields.

Our faith in freedom is based
on the belief that every human
soul has it's own sovereign rights
rights that are not merely grant
ed by society but are an essential
of. the human character. Since
society is nothing apart from the
men and women of which it is fash
Toned, it can never ignore this
right of freedom without counting
it's own destruction.
Yet this freedom is not the
freedom for men to do as they
please. Even in primitive society
this freedom is denied, and the
complex demands of civilization
deny it in a thousand ways. When
men agree to live together for the
sake Of work or happiness they
set limits to their behavior and
agree to live beneath a code and
law.
Yet the right of freedom re-
mains. 1t is right not to natural
but to spiritual freedom. It's most
vital doctrine is that men have
the right to think as they please.
Man as a member of society has
duties rather than rights. AS an
individual his rights are supreme.
The problem of society is to APP
point to each man his duties
while scrupulously protecting his
rights. For in the right of man
to think as he please lies the only
hope for endurance and perfection
of society.

culture make them lovely. The
more elaborate ones become brill
liant spectacles, which would
draw hearty applause on the stage
of theatres.
The bride and her attendants
are dressed with all the fashion
and taste that costume artists can
devise. Flowers create a back
ground of colorful beauty. The
masterpieces of the worlds music
library lend their touch of emo
ton and romance. The movements
of the bridal party are SO practic-
ed as to add the suggestion of
drama, and every motion is sig
nificant toward the general effect.
Even a very quiet and simple
home wedding has its own dis
tinct charm.
But what say some hilarious
friends of such wedding pairs?
They are sometimes not so much
concerned whether this or that de-
tail is perfect, as to whether the
bride and groom are given the
proper hazing.
The right kind to them may be
comparable to the limitations once
imposed on the supposedly fresh
college students. Some couples
are subjected to all the embarrass-
ments and difficulties that invent
i've wits can devise.
A certain amount of mild horse
play may be tolerated but if the
bride gets grain of rice in her
eve and hes to go to an oculist the
first day of her honeymoon. it is
, an unfortunate anti-climax If the
pursuers tear through the streets
too fast, an accident may happen,
with tragic results.

little slow A wedding should not
be turned into a roughhouse.

A Rising Composer

Born in New York's slums,
Dante Fforillo, son Of Italian i'm
migrants, recently won the Pulitz-
er prize scholarship for music for
1898, as the most talented and
deserving" American composer of
the year. The composition on
which the award was based is a
symphony, begun several years
ago.
This is not the first prize for
music to be won by young Fioril-
10, as he previusly had been
awarded the prize offered by So
ciety of professional musicians,
besides four Guggenheimr fellow
ships, since he first began his SER
i0us musical studies at the Green
witch House, founded by Mrs.
Mary Simkhovitch, a noted social
worker. He is now 20.
The prize composition is the
eighth of twelve symphonies writ
ten by Fiorillo, who has many
other compositions to his credit
His first work to be performed
in public was a series of dances
written when he was II, and play
ed in concert under the baton of
his instructor, Enrique Coroselli,
a native of Uruguay, who took an
interest in his young pupil and
gave him much encouragement.
Winning of the Pulitzer prize
carries with 1t a cash award of
81 500 which will go toward fur
Their musical study in EurOne, and
in view of the high recognition al
ready given him it seems certein
that Dante Fiorillo will In time
take top rank among contempor-
airy composers.

$4,000 Atrplanes

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker,
ranking American ace in the
World War, suggests, in a recent
article in Golfers the construc-
ton of $4,000 airplanes as one
of the solutions of this country's
defense problem.
He does not Suggest military

some military use. The building
of them would guarantee the
maintenance of the industry's fac
tories; the flying of them would
mean training for thousands of

eve should certainly not monkey
with the tariff, so as to let in
foreign copper and other metals
even for reciprocal advantages,
which might have the tendency
of shutting down small mines that
would be Of tremendous value in
time of war. We should repair,
as far as reasonably possible, any
damages such a plan might do to
the traffic now carried by the rail
roads"
Sound advice, it seems to us,
from one Of Americas most able
and patriotic experts.

origin of Numerals

Primitive man did not deal in
large figures, so he was able to
represent numbers sufficiently
for his purpose by his fingers,
by notches cut on a stick, or by
a series of short lines.
AS larger numbers of things
came to be counted, symbols to
represent more than one object
were gradually invented But our
present system of so-called Ara
bic numerous was not perfected
until a few centuries ago.
Symbols corresponding to our
figures 1, 4, and 6, have been
found on inscriptions dating from
the third century B. G. in India.
The 2, 7 and 8 appeared about a
century later, and the 8, and
still later. The forms of the
figures have undergone much
change from time to time.
The system was adopted by the
Arabs, who invented and added
the zero, or cipher, and gave the
figures a "place value"-units
tens, hundreds. and so on-about
the tenth century A. D. The
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1939-06-09

Arabs introduced the system into
Europe two or three centuries
later.
The decimal point was a still
later development, it having been
invented and introduced by
mathematician named Christopher
Clavius in 1893.
The origin Of the Roman mineral
characters, l, V, x, ETC., is un-
certain, and various theories have
been advanced concerning them.

LIBERAL WINTER FEEDING
ESSENTIAL FOR TURKEYS

Breeding turkeys lose weight
during the laying season. They
can stand this loss if they are
fed literally through the winter,
says c. F. Parrish, poultry spe-
cialist of the State College Exten-
SIGN Service.
Now is the time to start feeding
turkey hens mash, Parrish says
Some focks in the State have
already started laying.
Too, most poultrymen select
young hens and young toms
from the spring flock to hold over
as breeders. Only by liberal
feeding do they reach full growth
by the time they start laying, the
specialist added.
Breeding birds will keep in
good condition with green feed
such as clover, Italian ry grass
or alfalfa, plenty Of sunshine, "a
good growing mash, scratch
grain, plenty of water and gravel
or some other insoluble grit.
A recommended mash is: Bran

insurance benefits, amounting to
1,432.68, were certified for pay
ment to 272 residents of North
