Wurd M. llurgc&s, War Savings Di
rector for .Nebraska, bus called tho
attention of the use thut may bu nnulo
of school houses throughout the coun
try In holding meetings to further tho
AVar Savings campaign. 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.

.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

worth of your Weal and then stake all
on junking It imlb-peiunble to tho

world you beltevo In It. The; world
may even demand proof In sacrifice.
Hesitate and you arc lost. l'fly tho

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. Exchange. ,
