not so much for any addiction to pessimism as for
his UMrUlingnosa to wink at the truth as it appears to
his and his plain outspokenness.

"I can not help hoping that the human race, having

this generation is wrong, that public opinion is "a
. vulgar, impertinent, anonymous tyrant who deliber
ately makes life unpleasant for anyone who is not
content to be the average man," and that democracy
means "a victory of sentiment over reason," the
triumph of the unfit, the conquest of quality by
quantity. . ' . -

should serve to purge humanity of some of its weak
nesses. There is, however, a lack of that profound
sympsthy with the human race that weakens an ap
peal for better understanding from that source.
STAGE FOLK DEFY AGE.
So gallant is the worM that no mention of Lillian

the stage at 64. Mclntire and Heath, Who have

LIFE, CO. D. (
What a wonderful world it would be if we never
had to pay the price! But we do. - V
The price of what? Of everything!
To live we must labor or, if we do not labor,
someone must labor for us and in that case we pay
the obligation of dependence which is the price.
For safety, for enjoyment, for profit we gather to

wear ana war upon our nerves Because oi tbe noise ot .nd . wher averaee of health, which
memoration of 100 years of freedom Braiil will open
a centennial exposition In September.
The United States is quite properly among the
twenty-flve nations participating in this Internationa:
event. A Nebraskan, Frank A. Harrison, has been
acting as general commissioner for tbe United States,
arranging for exhibits and stirring up popular in
terest Whatever the end of the controversy between
him and his associates, their differences at least will
advertise the exhibition.
There is a good deal that would prove interesting
down there to American travelers, for example, the
network of Inland water transportation. The republic
has 10,000 miles of navigable waterways open to
river steamers and ocean-going vessels, and 20,000
milea additional used for light draft boats. The city
of Rio has a population of more than 1,000,000. A
large attendance of Americans at this Brasllian fair
might add considerably to our knowledge and cer
tainly would, go far to cement understanding rela
tion and Pan-American solidarity.
GOINO TO THE ANT.
We are a race of travelers, thinking little of
trips overseas or even around the globe. But most
of use fail to note the wonders that are literally
under our feet
At our feet the little ant people are busy every
day in a most interesting life. Did you ever watch
them 7 Probably not We are too practical to waste
time like that
On a recent afternoon an observer lay in a little
glade just outside the city. He noticed ' long thin
line of little black ants, marching across the bare
spot of ground. The line disappeared into the grass
on both sides. None of the little marchers waa
carrying anything and ho wondered what was their
object, what was in their "minds."
He caught and killed a fly and placed it near the
line. Presently one of the ants seemed to smell it
He paused and then scouted out and discovered the
fly. He seemed to look Up at its great bulk, a dozen
times bigger than himself .
Then he rushed back and passea the word to his
fellows. . The line) curved out to the dead fly, which
was soon covered with the little insects. They toiled
for perhaps five minutes before they severed the head.
Two ants seemed to be detailed to carry this away.
They struggled with it, . sometimes carrying, some
times rolling it until they disappeared in the grass.
- Several of the big, quick-moving ants came near
while the cutting of the prise was going on. But
they did not interfere.
. The observer caught one of the big fellows then
and, in the interest of science, slew it and dropped
the body. .' Before the little black ants came across
it, one of the big ones found it. I
' He seemed to become greatly excited. Grabbing
the body, as big and heavy as himself, he walked
away, sometimes 'dragging it, sometimes carrying it
aloft, a prodigy of strength. ' ',
- Was he rushing his fellow to some underground
ant hospital, some first-aid station? Was the dead
one, perchance, a recognized relative of his?' We.
don't know. We suspect, however, that in the dead
brother, the excited ant saw only a delicious feast to
be enjoyed at leisure in his underground home.
GIVING FARMS A PERSONALITY.
- A pleasant custom that lends an air of honest
pride and stability ia the growing one of giving farms
an attractive name. . Farmers are finding it to their
advantage commercially also. ; The patent office will
register farm names as trade marks, thus -protecting
the fanner against their use by others anywhere in
the United States. , If it is desired to use the name
as a trade mark, it must be attached to commodities
moving in interstate commerce. o ? . : ,
. , Ranches have usually been known by their cattle
brands, but most farms have lacked even this per.
sonality, : usually being known by such terms as
"Smith's place" or "Jones' quarter," 4 or possibly
referred to by the name of the original settler.
. Herbert Quick, once quite a figure in Iowa agri
culture, calls his country place in Virginia "Cool
font," in reference to the springs there. An un
ending possibility for descriptive names exists, as
travelers along Nebraska roads may testify. Among
the signs to be found painted oh big barns are "Val
ley View," "Cherrycrof t," "Overlook," , "Hillcrest"
and "Lone Pine." ; : Down in Kansas, just outside
Atchison, a motorist reports a farm bearing an im
mense sign over its front gate, "Hadhisway," which
leads to the intriguing thought that unless the owner
is a bachelor, somewhere around the kitchen entrance
there may be another sign perhaps reading, "Has
herway.",, .
Whatever the name "chosen for a home in the
country it is' almost sure to do one of two things:
Express the personality of the owner or call attention
to some striking feature. In the towns street num
bers have to suffice, but no such practical necessity
need cramp the rural dweller. j

Little by little' the children's death rate drops.
Medical science ;s responsible in part; instead of five
deaths in every ten victims of diphtheria, anti-toxin
has made it possible that nine out of every ten shall
live. Education has helped to a great extent; mothers
understand the needs of their children more than
they used to and other people pay more attention to
the needs of the mothers than formerly.
.. The little child cannot help itself. Two things
can keep it alive: Knowledge of what to do for it
and the will to do it. The world can'-t be going to'

In a bulletin Issued by the commis

will nf the' Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ In America.
"It Is not enough to say to the
nations 'be good'," this analysts de
clare "We must find out what It Is
to be good In this modern world, and
wo must establish suitable Interna
tlonal agencies, so that we can be
good. We must do much hard
headed, eool-hearted. clear-mlhded
and creative thinking.
"First of all. we must not Indulge
In Indiscriminate condemnation. We
must Indeed condemn the whole war
system as eternally wrong, but we
cannot condemn every man or even
every nation that haa fought Many
noble heroee have fallen In warfare
Natinna hav bn forced to fight
for the overthrow of vast Interna
tional Crimea"
The principal direct and Indirect
cause of big armaments are listed
as follows:
- 1. Science, steam and electiio
power and standardization produc
tion by machinery, have given the
advanced nation extraordinary pow
era of expansion and aastreealon.
z. Creation of wealth and massing
of canital. control of dlseaae and
increase of population, with demand
for more food and for abundant raw
material, have caud the nrogres-
slvo nations to reach out long arms
into an in woria.
t. The existence of many abso
lutely lndenendent sovereign govern'
ments, each responsible only to Its
own people for their welfare, haa
lea to conscious ana ecneming riv
alry and the adoption by. several
governments of the policy of eco
nomic imperialism. By diplomacy,
Intimidation and Intrigue they have
sought for expansion of commerce
and for the political control or tnose
backward geographical areas on
which they were, or expected to be,
dependent for food and raw ma
terial. . .
4. Suspicion . and fear of neigh
bors have led each government to
build uo Its own defensive system.
This practice antedates. Indeed, hu
man history. But it naa reacnea
modern proportions. because the dis
coveries of science have been effec
tively utilized. .
5. The massing and mobilizing ror
war of the entire power or eacn
nation haa become possible by pop
ular education, growing nationalism,
Increasing political centralization,
and growing inter-relation and co
operation of commerce. Industry and
politics. '
C. Acts of one people or govern
ment with no thought or Intention of
ill-will have often brought narm to
neighbor nations, arousing feelings
and acts of retaliation growing into
settled mutual hostility.
7. The modern system of finance
has : enabled governments through
loan and credits not only to utilise
to the full existing wealth, but to
discount and mortgage their futures
and thus to create big armaments
otherwise ' impossible.
8. The modern system of treaties,
open and secret, nave produced
groups , of "powers" committed to
assist each other under certain con
tingencies, thus increasing fears and
suspicions and making swollen war
budgets inevitable in every land.
9. Vast private manufacturing en
terprises, - producing munitions and
other materials needed by armies
and navies have deliberately culti
vated international suspicions and
fears for purposes of -private gains. .
10. A materialistic, unchristian
philosophy. Justifying the right of
strong peoples to take and to dom
inate the earth, has stimulated sel
fish nationalistic ambitions and riv
alries. The doctrines that mere
might gives right; that moral laws
do not bind nations; that the weak
must go to the wall: that victors may
ignore the needs of the vanquished
and may exploit them and their re
source these inhuman doctrines of
materialism have led to vast national
crimes, and to deep-seated hatreds
and plans for revenge. -
11. The will to avert the fate of
the vanquished. If not positively to
win the prize of the victor, has been
a mighty modem cause of super
armaments. 12.- The people of every land, and
age hate war. If so, why have wars
come? Because they have usually
been misinformed by the ruling
cliques. ; The real and full facts in.
the case are seldom told them. The
issues are more or less falsified in
order to arouse the power of enthu
siastic patriotism. Even where they
partly know the facts they have no
adequate machinery for the. control
of ambitious or scheming political
leaders. And they are today , om
inously exposed to the. schemes of a
sensational press. . . .
Bread and Beef,
Farm to Tahlt
. Bread Is held up by the Joint com
mission of agricultural Inquiry as a
striking example of what happens
to the farmer's product In the way
of costs and profits before It reaches
the family table.
This phase of the commission's re
port soon to bo rendered to con
gress, was discussed by Chairman
Sydney Anderson. "Our Inquiry re
veals the fact that about 10 cents
out of each dollar the consumer pays
for bread la absorbed In the cost of
distribution, while th farmer re
ceives only !M cents in the local
market for the wheat needed to pro
duce the loaves delivered. This
statement Is based on average, fig-
ureo for 1111, 11 and 111. In
HIS th ntlr production cost was
44 cnts and the distribution cost
54 cents.
"It seeme possible that greater
ernciency can bo developed which
will tend to reduce the manufactur
ing baker's selling cost and overhead
and the retail dealer's operating ex
pense. Our inquiry does not indicate
that the manufacturing baker has
exacted an undue profit In taking
the l.t cents from the consumer's
dollar for manufacturing bread and
distributing It to the retailer,"
Representative Anderson stated.
"It would appear, however, that
the retailer's operating expense of
II cents and the baker's average
selling expense of ls.71 eents out
of the dollar the consumer pay for
brad ehould be reduced by Improve
ment of method. To some degree,
consumer's demand for variety
cause duplication of service on the
part of the several bakeries making
daily deliveries to tne same retailers.
"The competitive element between
manufacturing bakeries in their ef
forts to command markets naturally
tends to Inoreaae the amount of
eerviee and the cost of selling. How
ever, competition tends to maintain
a high standard of quality and con
venience of service."
"In lilt the producer received an
average of 40.1 cent out of the dol
lar th consumer paid for fresh beef
after paying S.I cents for transpor
tation, feed and commissions. Th
packor paid 44 cants live cost and
9.7 cents for selling transportation
and packing, making a total of 10I.T
cents. He sold rresn Beer to tne re
tailer at 84.5 cents and sold by
products tor 18.8 cents, making a
total oM04.8 cents, thereby realis
ing a profit of 1.1 cents. The re
tailer paid 8C.S cents and had .an
operating cost of 10 cents and a
profit of I.S. cents, equaling the 100
cent which the consumer paid for
rresn oeer. .
"In 1931 the producer received an
average or 47.7 cents out or the
dollar the consumer paid for fresh
beef after paying 4.8 cents for trans
portation, leea ana - commissions.
The packer paid an average of 7S
cents live cost and 25.1 cents for sell
ing, transportation and packing,
making a total of 88.1 cents. He
sold fresh beef to the retailer at
78.8 cents and sold by-products for
10.8 cents, making a -total of 89.4
cents, thereby realizing a profit of
1.5 cents. The retailer paid. 79.8
centa and had an operating cost of
18.6 cents and a profit of 2.7 cents,
