BED no KEEP WARM

A news note speaks of people in
Europe going to bed to keep warm
due to lack of fuel under govern
meDt regulations. That is what will
happen if people are so foolish as
to tolerate governments that start
wars. The people of Europe are
hard working folks. well able to pro-
vide for all their needs. if they will
stick to tilling their farms and run
ming their shops and meeting the
real needs of their people.
When they tolerate governments
that make it their first aim to bring
death and destruction to neighbor
nations, then the common wants of
the people are going unattended to-
The coal that should be used to pro-
duce comfortable homes is being di-
verted to munition factories and war

THR MdR1D,s RERrnnar

Thomas Hood, famous Englisf
poet wrote as follows about thu
month Of May:
"'Tis like the birthday Of the world
When earth was born in bloom;
The light is made Of many dyes,
The air is all perfume.
There's crimson buds and white
and blue,
The very rainbow showers:
Have turned to blossoms where
they fell
And sown the earth with flowers. :"
The earth seemed desolate through
the months of winter. but now it
turns into garden of beauty, as the
spring rains fall and the ascending
sun brings new cheer.
As the snow banks of the winter
have melted out, so many cold hearts
have thawed out. People are slim
ulated by the bright spring days to
perform athletic stunts, and they feel
new life. AS they engage in pleasant
work and sports, it seems a
of the month when the
world is born again to new fruitful
ness and color.

PERILS OF CHILDHOOD

Young life is saved from many
diseases by the great achievements
of medical science. but the perils of
life keep increasing. Parents have
reason to worry.
Modern traffic has created perils
that were never dreamed of in the
old days In some places many par
ents don't feel happy until they have
deposited the little learner safely in
the school yard. Then there is the
powerful medicine looking like nice
candy, which the careless parent
left within reach of the little ono
Also the rough and tumble games
that break arms, and the desire Of
the kid to shin to the top of the
highest tree. Considering such and
many more perils. parents have rea-
son to be thankful that the kids al

THE UNTURNED STONES

The old phrase used to say that
energetic people "left no stone un-
turned" in their effort to find new
opportunities. The average run of
people are not that way. If they
turn over a few stones and find no
treasure lying underneath, or if
they apply for work OF opportuni-
ties at a limited number of places
and get no response. they assume
the chances do not exist. They are
apt to settle down in the same old
rut and be content with what little
they have achieved.
The unturned stones almost invar-
iably cover real opportunities. They
go to the people who have the per-
sistence to keep turning and turn
ing these stones.

THE HOME TOWN BALL TEAM

If baseball is to be really the ma.
tional game of the United States
there should be chances to play in
such games and watch them in every
town in the land. There are probab-
ly more ball teams now than ever be-
fore, largely because most colleges
and the great majority of high
schools maintain regular teams. AL
so because factory and home town
leagues in many places have their
own seasons.
All the young men of a commun-
ity who like to play ball should have
the chance TO play on some team.
People should support teams in their
own home town, and back them up
by attending the games and giving
them a little financial help. It is a
great asset to a town when it has a
good ball team or teams playing
'egularly,' giving youth an outlet for
is vigor. and a sport feature for
people to witness.

ARMY OF COLLEGE Youth

Many great changes have come tc
this country during the years of the
goth century. One of the greatest OF
these is the enormous increase in
the number of students in colleges
and graduates from these institu-
tions. The present enrolment in col
leges in this country is six times the
number who were enrolled in the
year 1900.
A great army of them are to be
graduated from colleges during the
month of June. Their bright and
eager minds will exercise a power
ful influence on our country
Fifty years ago it was rather ex-
ceptional for young people to take
a college course. Anyone who had
graduated from a college was re-
garded in many communities as hav-
ing achieved a very large stunt. aud
to be thereby entitled to a place of |
prominence.
Next September a great army of
young folks will again march into the /
college halls, full of grand ideas of
the things the classroom and the lee
ture hall will do for them. Quite a
number will march out after a few
months because the scholastic pace
is too swift. Many of those who drop
out could keep UP if they really tried,
but they will want to do too many
things outside of book study.
This vast army of college trained
youth enters the working world af-
ter wonderful contact with the wis
dom of humanity If they were I
thinking of the football game and {
the dancing promenade while the
was made to pour that wis I
dom into their minds, it will have !

careers. If they learned through '

splurge Of affection, and If that child
soon forgets this obligation and
gives little expression Of this af-
fection, the recognition has a very
limited effect.

THE PONY EXPRESS

The post office department has is
sued a commemorative postage stamp
in honor of the Pony Express. which
consisted of the service by which
mail was carried on horseback for
Is months beginning in 1860 between
st. Joseph, Missouri. and Sacralnen-
to. California. The riders were ex-
pected to carry the mail 100 to 200
miles before being relieved. It was a
dangerous service in those times.
and many of the riders lost their
lives when attacked by Indians.
The heroic service performed by
the men who rode across or main
tained stations in great spaces which
were largely wilderness in those
times. was one of the magnificent
achievements of American energy. It /
showed what our people can do when
hey are faced by great difficulties

LEFT ON BUSINESS BASES

In game of baseball. many hopes
of victory are defeated because the
runners are left on bases. They
may have hit the ball well enough SO
they could get on first. second. or
third base. But unless the next bat
ter or batters can get a hit. these
men are likely to stay where they
are, SO that the inning ends without
scoring any runs.
In the business world, many peo-
pie are left on bases, because of a

WHO'S WINNING THF wlR

Since the Allies fell down 80 bad
" in Norway, the impression hal
been somewhat common that Ger
many Is winning the war. The allied
forces IN Norway had to take ter
rife attack from the swarming
tlocks Of airplanes. It seemed i'm
possible to make headway with those
war birds constantly raining down
death.
Success in that line does not mean
that Germany is winning its main
cbjectives. The Nazis started out to
lick the British by choking on their
commerce through submarine at
tack. 1t was recalled that they al
most starved out England in the
World War, through. the sinking of
vast tonnage Of British ships. 1t
was felt that they could do even bet
ter at that game now.
For a few months after the war
started, a large company of British
ships and their brave sailors went to
the bottom of the sea. In spite of
that, the British have been building
ships probably faster than they were
sunk The British feet by which
that island kingdom is fed and sup
piled with munitions seems stronger
than ever.
Also for many weeks the Germans
a constant succession of
bombing raids over England. These
were supposed to scare people most |
10 death, and induce them to yield to
he Nazi demands. These raids kill
ed few people. blew up a few ships,
md did some physical damage. But
hey have had little effect on the
general war situation.
So neither the British nor the
Germans seem to be getting any
where. They are casting billions Of
money into the sea by the foolishness
f war, when all these issues could
e settled peaceably if people on
9th sides would only be fair and
eep their agreements. So far as
an now be judged. the war will
o on until the fighting nations learn
nat war settles nothing.

GARDEN PHILOSOPHY

To millions of folks, a garden is
just scene of hard work. The boys
usually look at it as a place OF
sweat and backache. in which they
toll reluctantly while longing for the
swimming hole.
Many older folks say the garden
means only struggle with pests and
weeds. The true gardener says he
loves his tender plants. as a parent
loves a child, that their lovely hues
create harmony of color as inspir-
ing as the themes of a symphony,
that the steady progress of the lit
tie plants day after day is a fasci-
mating drama. He remarks. with
Francis Bacon, famous philosopher.
that God Almighty planted the first
garden" and he feels the sons of
men do well to follow that divine |
example.
Hafiz. famous Persian philosopher
and poet, said: Listen. o student,
the true wisdom. See yon bush
aiame with roses, like the burning
bush of Moses. Listen and thou shalt
hear, if thy soul be not deaf, how out
from it soft and clear, speaks to
thee the Lord Almighty"
The soul of the Eternal speaks to
man out of the lovely hues of flow
ers. They seem to dance and sing
as their merry blooms sway in the ]
wind. They tell us that our world,
which often seems a sorry kind of {
place, has happiness in its heart. 1t {
seems as if the divine power breath [
ed a spark of its fire and love {
the life of these plants.
Even if you only dig in the gar
den to raise beans and potatoes,
these humble and workaday plants
tell story of the rewards of honest
industry. Contact with the soil has
been held to give strength to human
beings. People who work in the
garden Seem seo have Unusually good
health, promoted by the open air ex-
ercise and the good digestion which
this produces.
