In very deep min. * the temperature is said to Ik- somewhat higher than on the earth’s surface. On the other hand, no part of a house Ls quite so cool on a hot dy as the *»liar. In Chicago a freight tunnel c rise-crosses under the business sectlou. A number of theaters, restaurants and hotels arc tapped to this tunnel wltu an airshaft, put in a fan and m.ne cool a:r. They adver tize the cooling breeds drawn from the underground tunnel. Before the days of ice. some good housekeepers on large places hud dry wells in which they kept the milk and butter: all of which Is by way of laying a foundation for the advice vo people to keep the l»ahy in the cellar in very hot weather. I think i might also be per suaded to adv;.sc a dry well undi i* certain •circumstances. Kvery mother knows bow a baby wills on u hot day and also how rapidly it picks up when the cool weather comes. A cool day in the hot season »s better than medicine. Recognizing this. New York sends babies out on f rry boats and places them on clips. Cleveland sends them to the lake shore. Chicago sends them to the park lake fronts, and more inland cities get them out of the zone of hot pavements into places where the breezes can get them. This is written in the hope that It will come to the attention of many mothers of young babies, ii such babies are living in rooms close to the roof they must be got ten out on hot days. Perhaps there is some basement room which can be straightened up a bit ana made Into u hot weather nursery. Pei haps home mother who lives in a flat top house on the plains may read this. She may haw- a dry w'ell that she can use. or. perhaps, the root house can be made available. Perhaps as oon as the crops are out of the way the men folks can be induced to dig a cave that will yorve as a very warm house in a blizzard and v* very cool one when the thermometer is oxer 90. Rustics of Yesterday. What has become of the country folks? The farmers we used vo .se«: Who come to town on Saturday morn And hitched to a friendly tree. Hitched to a rack in the public square, Hitched to a lamp post *>r anywhere, With never a sign that said ‘‘Not there.” in the days that used to be. What has become of the country folks? Who used to smell so good; Their clothes perfumed with the odors sweet Of bur oh and hickory wood? They smelled of the smoke of burning brush, Had pie for breakfast and cream for mush: Had grain to spare for the grateful thrush. Which sang like it understood. What has become of thee ountry folks Who traded at Cheap John’s store? They came to town by the wagonload And lingered about the door. Took tea and coffee for eggs and wood. Ate cheese and crackers and called it good. Then talked of affairs in the neighborhood And friends who would come no more. What has become of the country folks? Oh, it's all quite plain to see They've all been changed into city folks, Yes, even as you and me Old Dobbin’s gone from tin* hitchrack bar. Once wearying miles now are miles not far. And they smell of the smoke of a motor ear— The rustics that used to be. —William Hertjchell, in the Indianapolis News. Leninc and the Generals. Lenin© sent an automobile with red guards to the fortress of Peter and Paul to fetch part of the counter revolutionary staff imprisoned there. ••Gentlemen,” sa d Lenin© as the generals filed into Jais office. “I have brought you here for expert advice. Petrograd is in danger. Will you be good enough to work out the military tactics for its ‘defense?” They assented. “Here are our forces” resumed Lenin*, indicating upon the map the location of the red troops, munitions and reserves. ”And here are our latest reports upon the number and disposition of the enemy troops. Anything c-lse the generals desire they will call tor.' ’ They set to work and toward evening handed him the result of their delibera tions. “Now,” said the generals ingratiat ingly, “will the premier be good enough to allow us more oo/n fort able quarters?” “My exceeding regrets,” replied Lenine. “Some time, but not just now*. Your quar ters, gentlemen may not be comfortable, but they have the merit of being very safe.” The staff was returned to the fort ress of Peter and Paul. England’s Increase 1n Bigamy. We have reported lately many judicial comments on the increase in bigamy. Several judges have referred to the of fense as “rampant,” and have remarked upon a general relaxation of public morals. War, unhappily, intensifies the conflict between elemental nature and civilization. According to the judicial sta tistics for 1917—the latest available—there were 435 persons tried at assizes and quar ter sessions for bigamy, compared with 130 in 1911 It lias been tainted out that numbers of women had been going through forms of marriage with soldiers in order to ob tain separation allowances. Many of these bigamous alliances Lav© been made be tween foolish girls and troopers who were thousands of miles from their wive© and families and who never hoped to- reach home again. Tho form of marriage i* nearly always go»<» through at a register office, where there is no need of publicity. In other countries records are not only kept, but used, and there are formalities which make candoxtine ceremonies less easy. In the case of soldiers, no doubt, reference to the regiment would elicit in formation about the man who proponed marriage, but that is: a course which not many women hav either the courage or the inclination to take. Opportunity. They do me wrong who say I come no more When onco 1 knock and fail to find you in. For every day I stand outside your door And bid you wake and rise to .fight and win.

Mexico is just a semitropieal country. This fact is controlling its destiny. Yet tew persons have given it any consideration. We think of the country as similar to the United States, and of its problems as like our own. But its geographical situation makes its conditions absolutely different from those, of the tempi'rate zone. It is not by accident that at this stage of the world’s progress there is not a single stable self governing country of importance withiu the tropics. Brazil is the only apparent exception, and Brazil is of nothing like the importance that its extent of territory would seem to warrant. The trouble is that, the human body doesn’t operate efficiency under priced conditions. The steady heat, particularly if it be humid, is what we call enervating. The people of the tropica are automatically slowed down. it takes a certain degree of progress coupled with a certain energy of character to make a stable, self governing nation. The tropics penalize their inhabitants. They deprive them of the energy necessary for maintaining tolerable government, under modern com petitive conditions. Most of Mexieo lies either within or just without the tropies. \ irtually ihc entire Country lies south of latitude 30. The City of Mexieo lies south of latitude 20. This acmitropicui situation is respon sible for much of the backwardness that is today making Mexico a nuisance to the world. We often speak as if the characteristics of the tropics, lassitude and laek of energy, wen moral—or immoral — qualities. They are not. They are inevitable. They exist wherever men live under the adverse physical conditions resulting from the continuous heat. But while these qualities are not the fault of tha Mexicans, they are their misfortune. Beeati.se of them it is the duty of the United States to consider seriously what must be its attitude toward its southern neighbor. Conditions being what they are, it is questionable whether we may expect the people ever to be able to maintain a successful government over long periods of time It is the part of reason for this nation to he giving careful attention to the probl’m ol bow it can best use its influence to stabilize conditions in Mexico. j Only Forty-Five Men Out of j j One Hundred Are Producers ! ___ » By Newell Dwight Mill a. It is a startling fact that one-fourth of society is supported by the other three-fourths. So far ae food, raiment, and tools are concerned, all mothers, all little children, the aged and invalids, cannot work in the fields, the forests, the mines of coal, iron, copper and gold, nor in the factories where looms, presses, engines, reapers, ships, are produced. Of course, the mother and the wife, more than make this up to the husband and lather, who is the bread win ner. Perspiration is important and so la muscle, but inspiration and the heurt have their place. Now comes a more startling statement! In one of the great factories where work was done for the government during the-war, it was found that only 46 men out of every 100 was a real producer or the various parts that went to make up that marvelous instrument that did so inu. h to win tlie war. The machine iD question was the Liberty motor engine. That engine developes 400 horse power. It made the airplane the eye of the army. Every morning Foch, Haig and Pershing waliened anxiously to see whether the sky .vas swept clear of fog. If the army's eye was clear and undimnied the allied regiments would advance and win one height after another. Everything depended upon the signals from the airplanes. Little wonder, berefore, that the government has now ordered 'the Liberty motor engine to .e placed in the Smithsonian institute, Washington; the British inussum in London; and In the permanent French exhibit, in Paris. But In going over the various parts of that wonderful motor, that some men nay won the war (the providence of God won the war, using all noble armies of the allies, whose combined strength, genius and self sacrifice were needed to destroy cruelty, autocracy and militar ism), one is amazed by the discovery rh-,t only 46 men actually toiled upon the different wheels, levers, valves and « of the Liberty motor, while 56 men were planners, inventors, draught.sine, .kkcepers, clerks of supplies, packers, shippers, accountants. Indeed the y, i me fit experts who watched every Item, carried on a system of bookkeeping so Intricate that one voucher cost the government $15 for the assembling of tile estimates. But this intellectual element, that dots not appeal to the eye and the ear is really in that Liberty motor. In the shadow, behind the steel parts stand* the soul with its inspiration, patriotism and devotion. The machine is like the world house in which we live—it is not all matter. We have onlv seven part* of material in the appie or the peach, while 93 per cent Is compacted out of the invisible elements of the air making up the perfume and Juices. Oftentimes the astronomer and philoeopher. the sage and martyr, are worn to shadow, pale a* chalk, wtth hardly enough of body left to serve as a scabbard for the sword. The real thing in this hero, however, is his soul. The egectriclty that hurls the car forward i* invisible; gravity, the greatest force In the earth, is unseen. Mans body, mans tools, man's iron and stone, man’s harvests and ships are Important through the 45 men who produced them, but the other 55 men with “1,chlldre"' do work also through thoughts and hope's and fears, and sacrifices, and prayer and love. There Is a natural man, but there 1s God Ld'r^ntr' ma"' lmd ^^eatest of ail things are the unseen farmers and Rrofits. From ftie Milwaukee Journal. A western drought in a ary farming sec tion sent hundreds of men 600 miles to work as farm laborers so that they could support their families until another season. In another section, one man cleared $3,000 from six acres of strawberries and expects to do better next year. That looks like a tremendous profit. Perhaps next year the dry farmers who went all the way to Nebraska to get work as laborers will dear a huge profit. Will Those dry farmers are an Incalculable asset to the nation. Year by year they contribute to Us production and add to our resources. Sometimes *hey have a very bad seaseb; their crop* are a com plete failure. We sympathize. Moat years they make a fair living and a little profit Sometimes they have a wonderful crop and sell It for a good price. The reward of the good year must bal ance up the lean years. Without its prom ise. they could not go on developing the land and making the desert a garden. More than that, American experience shows that the new farming lands gradu ally settle down to a steady self support ing basis. How long It is since we heard 1 of an "off wheat year'’ in a great section. Kansas farmer* used to have seasons i when they barely struggled through. The I good years made it possible for them to keep going until Kansas is one of the wealthiest of our states. i Nobody pretend* rewards are exactly i and Justly proportioned to effort. Bui when you read of a big crop and a big | profit, remember the lean years of dis- | couragwment, and be glad that the hardy enterprise which has added to America's feeding power is rewarded.
