The Informa tion has been sent out to 1,100 town chairmen in Nebraska.4 Tho 'little red school houses' are community centers through which the people o tho entire country rocolvo messages of vltul Interest to them," Mr. Burgesn says. "It seems to mo that there should bo no difficulty in enlisting tho co-operutton of the school authorities In holding commun ity meetings. Tho school house should be flow, as it always has been the 'cradle of liberty.' " The State Director suggests that every town chairman should get local school officials and leading men and women to address community gather lugs In the school houses and tell them of the AVar Savings Stamp campaign. 5,020 VOLUMES IN ONE IJfOJK .J .Encyclopedia of the Literature of China, Covering 28 Centuries, Is Remarkable Production. The Chinese department of the ltrll lsh museum library contains ti single work which occupies, no, fewec than 5.020 .volumes. This .wpndoiful pro duction of the Chinese press wns pur chased some years ugo for ?7,G00, and Is one of only n very suiull number of '.copies now In existence. It Is nn encyclopedia of the lltene turo of China, covering h pVlod of 28 centuries. It owe? Its origin to the literary proclivities of the Eulperor Cung-he, who reigned from 1002 till 1722. In the course of his studies of ktlio unclenle Urc of ,hls country Kanfe.lie discyf rod tlint.iarteiislve cdn rtipttons hnddicun ntlowedtfo creep ln to the modern editions, arid conceived the Idea of having the text of the or iginals reproduced and preserved In an authorized form. This wns 11 mighty conception, truly, and In the' execution it remains unique down to the present time. For the purpose of carrying out the work, Knug-hc appointed a commission of learned men to select and collate the writings to ho reproduced, and em ployed the Jesuit missionaries to cast copper types with which to execute the printing. The commission was oc cupied for 40 yenrs In its greut task. Beforo tho work was completed Kang-hc died, but ho had provided that Ids successor should see the book com pleted, nnd he faithfully cnrrled out his trust." The book Is .arranged In six divisions, each dealing with a par ticular branch of knowledge. WATER NECESSARY TO LIFE Astronomer Can Prove That Other Planets Are Uninhabited If He Finds They Have No Moisture. All life Is lived In wntor. Where no water Is, no life can be. The nec essary machinery may have been al ready made, as in u completely dried seed, but that seed cannot actually llvo until water reaches It again. To live Is to be wet; or, in the, phrase of n French student, "Life 'Is an aquatic phenomenon." When tho supply of wntcf Is with held from living things they may sur vive, but their life Is slowed down, us It were. In tho completely dried seed life Is arrested altogether, yet the creature Is not dead. The French call that n case of vie supendui. or, In our language, susptuded animation. After nstonl.shlngly long periods, such seeds will germinate If they nix wa tered. The astronomer tells us thut our planet Is jjnly one- oC ninny belong ing to lnuumernblu suns, nud heAvou dcrell whether, this little "lukewarm bullet" of ours, us Robert LotiUi Sto vensbii calli.l It, Is really unique. In bearing n burden of life. There Is one path that heads ti&the answer of his query. If ho llntl no evidence of wn tev on other worlds ho cannot expect to find life there.-yDr. C. W. Suleeby, in Tho Youth's Companion. "j Injure Future In Youth. ' In youth Is' the time toMnsurc the future. This is true of every kind of Insurance. And micccss folloivs'the biune law. 'Tls true that In youth you have less to go on, but If youdon't make the start now you will never bo more thuu n '"hand-to-mouth"' per former. You niust be convinced of-tlio worth of your Weal and then stake all on junking It imlb-peiunble to tho world. You -will luivu to show the world you beltevo In It. The; world may even demand proof In sacrifice. Hesitate and you arc lost. l'fly tho price of your belief promptly and cou stantly and tl'iu future will bo moro welcome in consequence.

' ' Worry Oftsn Selfish ' To expect sorrow fs to sulter-f r'om It beforo It arrives, nnd when It may not arrive ut all; it Is like throwing our gold Into the sea because wo funcy- that the ship is going down. Perhaps there may be n great troublo u,waltlng us next year; shall wo destroy the en tire happiness nnd comfort of this year by anticipating" It? The dread will not help us to bear It when it comes, vor vy Is u wrong that we do to. otlrflelves, and ft usually intiKca ot iters ""vi with us. A'ery often It is absolutely selfish. Let us resist it by. all the means In our power, nnd give our selves to tho things that cheer and strengthen us; basing ourselves on tho hope that when trial comes wo ahnll bo nblo to enduro It bravely; There uro reserves of strength whlchve too often Ignore, whoso help conies In tho hour of need.
