The unmistakable impression gathered from the letter written by a correspondent from Gib bon, Neb.; is that those whose destiny it is to be numbered among the toilers who do the drudgery of the world, forever engaged in its menial and unpleasant tasks, are to be also de . nied any comfort or consolation of education. Because they are unable to break the material , ahackles that bind them to a melancholy fate, they also are to remain without intellectual pleasures. The argument that education unfits the in dividual for doing useful work, even when that takes on the form of manual labor, is without any real support. On the contrary, many gradu ate! from our state universities and other In stitutions of higher learning have, gone onto farms; some have even pioneered and helped to develope new agricultural regions. In all the killed trades highly educated men will be found, and men of genuine culture have engaged in toil of the dullest sort, merely for the reason that it was all that' opened to- them a way to earn a living. These men do not long remain in such positions, because they have the energy to lift themselves. v Nor is it true that this country was pioneered by uneducated men. . Before the English had planted t,he first colony at Jamestown the Span iard had set up a printing press and opened a school at the City of Mexico. At Jamestown and at Plymouth Rock were men who had studied at Oxford, Cambridge, Leydon, Geneva, and tven at Salamanca and Vallodolid. The Caverlys brought learning with them to Mary land, and William Fenn saw to it that the Quakers were not without the school master. It is true that the means for learning were scant and crude in the frontier settlements, but such as they were they were employed to the utmost, and as the nation grew in wealth and strength it extended its facilities for providing instruction, until now education is within the reach of all, and the law requires that all must share in it to a certain extent. Our country is great, because its people are Intelligent and literate. Their minds are opened up, all the knowledge of all the world is at their command, and they are capable, not only of ap plying it but also of extending it If boys and girls are kept longer at school today than was the custom a few years ago, it is because we have advanced to where the importance of hav ing them trained in cultural knowledge exceeds the demand for their presence in industry. If some extend their studies into years of maturity, the general cause of civilization is the better - served by reason of the added' value of enlight- enment flowing from their research. . Education does not unfit for work; it will alter the nature of most work, and transmute drudgery into pleasure, because it will giva the vision that discloses the usefulness of all work, and the consciousness that all toil, however homely and obscure, adds to the sum of human happiness, because it is necessary that it be done. i Betting on the Farmers. ". It used to be that every farm magazine was filled with stories of how this or that man made immense profits from his crops. The fashion now is changed, as it should be, for these ex ceptional cases were accepted by the outside public as the rule. In no other line of business do the technical publications boast in this way of their, profits. On the other hand, a mistake equally serious may be made in looking only at the dark side of the farming business and paint ing conditions entirely with deep blue gloom. Liberal credit is now available for agricul tural purposes through th,e War Finance cor poration. This would not be the case unless those in authority were confident of the return of profit to the business of food production. From top to bottom the government is betting - n the farmers. President Harding's message demfesptrated his conviction, not only that farm ing could be rehabilitated, but that certain steps, uch as the encouragement of co-operative mar keting and obtaining lower freight rates, must be taken in order to make sure of recovery. A live stock commission broker reports that cattle bought on the market for the last four or five months are making a little money for the men who' have fed them. He asserts that this is especially true of low-priced cattle, and tells of selling cattle that cost $4.65 per hundred pounds 100 days ago for $675. A good many steers that cost $4 per hundred, fed on corn from 60 to 80 days, are said to have sold for from $120 to $6 per hundred. "There is still a lot of stuff coming to market that is losing money," h said, and cites the instance of two loads of cattle bought a year and a naif ago at $9.75 and which sold lately at $5.50. These cost $150 more , than they brought, and in addition the stockman was out the cost of the feed, taxes, interest and labor. It does appear, however, thai there is profit in feeding cattle now. There is opportunity In putting four legs on this chtap corn. J. M. Flannlgan, secretary of the War Finance corporation for Nebraska, declares that there Is no reason why the feed lots and pastures should not be filling up. The credit is available through this government agency, sad once full confidence is developed, live stock operations may be ex pected to resume their normal volume. Business at Christ Would. , Right at the start, let us admit what Is apparent, that none of us knows what Christ would do, were he engaged in business nowa days. Many think they do, but on close examina tion it will be discovered that they are giving to the teachings of Christ arbitrary interpretation and undertaking to apply that interpretation to the other fellow rather than to themselves. Christ taught very simply, and because of the simplicity of His teachings the sophists of the last 20 cen turies have been enabled to spring a wilderness of words about principles that are crystal clear when taken as laid down by the Galilean. - Probably the simplest rule He laid down for the guidance of men, one that is applicable to business and to any of the activities of human life, is: "Whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them." Is this rule capable of b,elng applied to business? In Cincinnati a successful clothing manufacturer as serts he has run his business on that basis for many years. It Is known as the "Golden Rule" company. How closely the rule has been ad hered to we can not say, but it is a fact that the assertion has not been successfully chal lenged. Down in Georgia another concern is about to embark Oh business enterprise, an nouncing in advance it will be guided by Christ's teachings. Whether these are to be the simple texts contained in the Scripture, or the con clusions reached by the exegetists, will be dis closed as the progress of the concern makes them known. The Gospels are full of allusions to busi nesses of various kinds, and many of the' illumina tive comparisons or parables deal with ventures in commerce or industry, because Christ sought figures that would be easily understood by those who heard Him. He did not lay down a rule that can not be followed, and he did plainly state that no man "can serve God and mammon." The square deal as the solid, satisfactory basis for human relations was taught before Christ came on earth. It is now and has at all times been admitted as the correct principle for deal ings between man and man. Therefore it is not to the credit of man that it is not now the universal rule. Life is probably no more complex now than it was in the days of Christ, nor is His rule for action more generally ignored or( distorted. This is not because the principle is not capable of being applied, but because men will not apply it. Little sustenance is obtained from gnaw ing a file, and the issue here presented is one that will be answered by individual and not by mass action. When Christ's rule is substituted for the prevailing one, "Do the other fellow be fore he gets a chance to do you," the world will be much happier. Envy Not Warranted. Senator Hitchcock's newspaper continues to indulge in hysterics over the conduct of a weekly farm paper owned by Governor Mc Kelvie. It remarks that the Nebraska Farmer "is reported to have earned for him (the gov ernor) a very comfortable income." Well, why not? The senator's newspaper has earned for him not only a comfortable but a luxurious income, running well into six figures every year, for some years. He should not envy another publisher the mere bagatelle (as rated by his own success) of a few thousands a year. The Bee does not know whether or not Senator Hitchcock is warrantd in his apparent fear that Governor McKelvie may be a candidate against him when he seeks re-election next year. The governor has not announced his intention. It does know that, if Governor McKelvie should run and be elected, the profits of his weekly newspaper will not support him in anywhere near the magnificence which Nebraska's present senior senator enjoys by reason of his own newspaper revenue. Beyond Man's Ken or Jurisdiction. Public intere. In the return from Europe of a popular motion picture lady was titivated by reports that she was bringing many new gowns, on the display of which before the camera might be predicated definite and probably sweeping changes in woman's outward apparel. About the same time, from another source, came an equally interesting announcement to the general effect that, regardless of what the Freneh may do in the matter of lengthening gowns, American women will do as they please. And there you have it. The outside world may marvel, but the folks at home know that when an American woman declares her inten tion of doing as she pleases that the argument is over. It is, in the likeable French of the A. E. F., "feenee." No other woman in all the world can show the same good reason for wearing 'em short possessed by the American. She not only has the best shoes and stockings, sne naa me tnapcnr.gr iooi, me snmejt anKies, and well, you finish the list Add to this a generous endorsement from eminent medical men, who find in the short skirt, the seemingly scantiness of the costume, a dis tinct advantage in the way of improved health. We have occasionally wondered if this had any thing to do with the fashion, but whether it has or not, the fashion will stay if the American woman wants it to. She is captain of her soul, all right, when it comes to deciding this great question. Mere man is as silent and as use less here as the "x" in fish. The War Finance corporation has advanced $15,000,000 on wheat, $5,920,000 on live stock, $13,000,000 on cotton and $16,000,000 for gen eral agricultural purposes. This totals about $50,000,000, a sum large enough to exert a help ful influence in restoring business life. They are taking the Irish Free State seriously in Dubin, that'a sure. Merchants anticipating lighter taxes are making their goods, if not free, at least very cheap; for instance, tea, 10 cents a pound; Havana cigars, 3 cents each, and whisky. 18 cents a bottle. Nebraska reserve officers have demanded either proof or an apology from Tom" Watson. We venture the prediction they will get neither. ' No need to worry about those twenty-two federal judgeships going without some one to fill them. The Husking Bee Its Your Datj Siart ltWithaLau$h WHY MEN SWEAR OFF.

' They are on call for rcucue expeditions at all houra of the day and night, and, once a week, that they may keep themnelve in good wind, they turn out for a long, exhuuxttng-, training outing. It la the cudtom to keep each monk on tha station 'for from 15 to 20 years and then to tninnfer him to Blmplon push, which la only 6,000 feet above ea level, or to asHlen him to a parish In eome mountain valley. in the loo years more than 100 men, picked for their youth and atrenKth, have spent 15 or 20 years at mis elevation above sea level. and endured the exposure which cornea in th winter. It is possible to get a line on the healthfulneaa of h!eh elavatlona and life In the open In cold weather from . the century long experience of these men. In 1839 three died from typhoid fever. A traveler brought the dis ease to the monastery, and three deaths among: attendants followed. Two died from consumption many years ago. Theae two came Into the monastery together and. it la said. were Infected when they came In. If so, the disease progressed only slowly, for one died eight years after he located at St. Bernards, and the other 13 years after going there. One died from epilepRy, one from peritonitis, and four from ava lanches or other accidents. The station has been remarkably free from coughs, colds and all In fections and eruptive diseases. The average age attained by these men at Simplon and In the valley parishes to which they have been transferred has been very high. in addition to their own health conditions they have been able to make some valuable observations on the effects of altitude. One Is that apoplexy Is much more important as a cause of death among persons at high altitudes than it is among other peoples. The conclusion Is that most of the deaths at high altitudes, ascribed to heart disease, are really due to apoplexy. ' That being true, it Is the man with heart disease, who should avoid nign altitudes. . Consumptives do best at an alti tude of 7,500 to 8,000 feet. Colds, infections and eruptive fevers are not of much consequence at the high altitudes. At about 6,000 feet open sores ex- posed to the sunlight do not un dergo septic processes. The sun light at high altitudes has a maxi mum heating power. A man at St. Bernards pass can lie on a sun bank at midday in the sunlight and sleep comfortably without blankets over or under him. The sunlight, likewise, has more power to kill germs and purify the air, the soil and the water. There is advantage to health and physical vigor In subjecting the body at the same time to the stimu lating effects of cold air and to the warming effects of the sunlight, as it is on the mountain tops.

On th plea that th fed eral government should help in cer tain alleged Improvements, congress passes' a measure appropriating money to states that make equiva lent appropriations of their own, but the provisions of such measures are usually such that the state must surrender authority over the ex penditure of its own money. The effect is to open th door to federal bosses over state undertakings. Quite a number of measures of that kind have been enacted, the mom recent instance being the maternity bill. There Is a strong Influence at work to promote the same kind of federal control over education' in the states. The federal appropria tion is used as a bait to catch both a state appropriation and a state surrender of proper authority. There may be cases in whloh such a policy Is allowable, but they are only In undertakings involving in terstate commerce and other inter state affairs. They have no place in purely state sovereignty and ad ministration. They vitiate state en deavor while fulling to create an ef fective federal substitute. Tht states do not even gain any money by it, for their people have to turn around and pay in federal tax all they get by such processes. CENTER SHOTS.

She is well de veloped, weighing 90 pounds, but walks with a slight stoop. I correct her whenever I can, and make her stand erect, but can't be with her always. In the last few months a few small blotches came out on her arms and then a few on her cheest. The school nurse examined her and prortounced them ringworm and painted them with iodine. 2.

My lisease had progressed for a year before I sus pected it. I had no constipation, while I had a frequent imperative desire to go to stool and the passage left a feeling that the bowel was never emptied. I never had large, explosive bowel movements, alter nating with constipation. I never had indigestion, nor nausea. I had no pain. There may have been a little blood in the stool at the last. When I lost eight pounds in weight and felt like going to the toilet con stantlyi I consulted a physician and he found a well-advanced cancer. (From the Kanna C"-" Star.) Terhaps it is tuhltu advantage of the enemy to refer to the sub ject of mince pie so soon after Thanksgiving, but an aroused and indignant public sentiment will not be restrained. The old adherents of that one-time great American in stitution known ns mince pie cannot longer be muzzled, A sacred old edifice' seems tumbling sbout their heads. For the old-fashioned mince pie has been substituted a camou flage under the same name, and loy alty to an old friend compels the exposure of the fraud. What has become of the mince pie of the fathers, which mother used to make? Until that question is an swered a large .nd riotouB party of American citizens will march under the banner of H. G. Wells proclaim ing that civilization la threatened and the social order is crumbling. This new dish that was placed be fore us on Thanksgiving day, to glvr the finishing touch to an otherwise artistic dinnei1 of the old type, was tasteless, lacking substance and without a kick. It did not smack of the old fireside companion of an other day when mince pie was a top- ; liner on the Thanksgiving menu, along with the turkey and the cran berry sauce. Why, in that day j mince pie had, to borrow an expres- ! sien from the prize ring, everything. ; Rich mincemeat, seasoned with cin namon, and with something that has fallen under the ban of the eight eenth amendment, and -sprinkled with raisins. It had the taste and It had the punch that made a place for itself even' after a. full meal at a Thanksgiving dinner. The imposter that was brought In to us the other day labeled mince pie lacked even the adornment of the real thing. For our old-time friend had a thin top crust out of which there oozed that's the proper word for it oozed the rich, Juicy intimation of the wealth of excel lence of its "innards." But thf camouflage of the modern mince pit is clad in a thick top crust thai gives it the appearance of bein? dressed in, a fur overcoat, and its inward parts have the appearance of a famine in pie stuffs. No one who ever sat down at grandmother's table on Thanksgiv ing day was known to push back a helping of mince pie, half devoured, with an excuse for not finishing the dish.
