Every year the expression, "It Is nil Greek to tnt" hns n sharper point to It. The reason Is that each year few er boys and girls study Oreok, re marks "Glraril" In the Philadelphia Press. I see by the list of students In n typlcnl American college that only one boy in l." now studies Greek. In the same college '50 years ago over half the students read Greek. A drop from .10 to less thnn 7 per cent In a generation Is going fust, and shows that Greek will soon be not only a dead, but a burled language In the United States. And from Oxford, In England, cornea n wall that the university Is fast los ing ground. The year before the war, In 101,1, Q71 students entered Oxford, but !!0 years earlier 7S-I. matriculated. And of those who came In lOl.'l. ISO were Rhodes scholars. From an Oxford man I learn that Greek Is the trouble. Cambridge uni versity nb'olished Greek, but Oxford did not, nlthough In nearly all the live preparatory schools In England Greek Is no longer taught. So It seems that schools do not pre pare boys for Oxford and Oxford stands still. at the Sanford Hartman home.

Scientists Aver There Is Even a Bond of Sympathy Botween Humanity and a Stone. If. as scientists tell us, there Is a connecting link between human be ings and animals, animals and vege tables, and vegetables and minerals, there Is n bond of sympathy between you and a stone. Everything becomes merely a matter of degree, with hu man beings In their own estimation nt the top. A great scientist. Sir .Tngndls Chan dra Rose, has just given some aston ishing facts regarding vegetables, In which ho shows that they have ninny of our characteristics, says London Answers. The effects of stimulants on vege tables are similar to the effects on ani mals. Vegetable can also be put under anesthetics, they can be poi soned and they are subject to I he death spasm. The latter point hns a special Interest for vegetarians. Per haps the most astonishing fact Is that vegetable plants possess greater sensi bilities thnn animals, enabling them to record wireless signals. When does a vegetable end and an animal begin? Near the border line Is the common sponge. TH E UN I VE R SA'JL CAR During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Truck has been on the mar ket, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no complaints of motor trouble. As the motor and the rear axle are the vital funda mentals in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Ton Truckhas not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory and economic way. There is no other evidence so convincing as that which comes from long practical experience. Ford One Ton Trucks arc serving along nil industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere. If these statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not be as large as it is, because people are not buying trucks which do not give service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Ton Truck in all classes of U3age, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in factor,' delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days of modem business methods, this worm-driven One Ton Ford Truck has become an actual necessity.

His name Is Jimmy, and he Is classed ns n bad boy In his western home. Not really bad, perhaps most ly spoiled. Among other bad habits ho has picked, up that of excessive profanity. Last week- his father shipped him to the home of a well-to-do friend here In the hope that some of tho rougher edges might be rubbed off. "Jimmy," said his father, "hns al ways had Ids meals served In the old fashioned way, with, everything on tho tnblo at once. But his first dinner in the city mnnslon hnpponed to bo of a formal sort. As the meal progressed Jimmy grow redder and redder. Final ly he burst out In n llnmo of Indigna tion.

Imagine yourself trying to walk through a dense wood nt midnight without n light, the penalty for touch ing n tree being death. That will give you some Idea of the dangers thnt the men on mine-sweeping trawlers faced when their vessels were steam Ing through a freshly sown mine field. The minesweepers were divided Into groups, each of which was commanded by n naval officer. The vessels loft harbor about daylight and steamed out to sweep for mines. They worked in pairs abreast of each others. Between the vessels swung the sweep wire, sunk to the necessary depth In the water by means of toved kites wooden arrangements acting on the same principle ns ordi nary air kites. These wires can be regulated to travel to any depth beneath the sur face. When mines nre caught they are dragged to one side nnd destroyed by rlile fire. If the bullets hit the detonator the mine generally explodes at once; but, If. on the other hand. ; water enters the buoyancy chamber nnd floods It, the mine goes to the bottom like n stone and becomes in nocuous. I As the trawlers themselves may , draw as much as 12 feet of water, i they may come Into contact with n I mine laid nt or above that depth. If a mine sweeper Is struck and the re sultant explosion occurs forward in I the bows, It may keep nllont and even- tually be towed Into harbor by one of ; her consorts. If the detonation took place nmidshlps or In the stern, how- 1 ever, It was unlikely thnt the ship j would survive, and the men In the en gine room or boiler room would prob- I ably perish with the vessel. j I represent for Lincoln county one of the strongest Insurance companies In tho way of hall Insurance.
