Illinois thing. One gets strength out of the ground as often as one touches it with a hoe. Anteau was no doubt an agriculturist; and such a prize-- ! fighter as Hercules couldn't do any thing with him till he got him to lay down his spade and quit the soil. It is not simply potatoes and beet3 and corn and cucumbers that one raises in his garden; it is the average of human life. There is life in the ground; it goes into the seeds; and it also, when it is stirred up, goes into the man who stirs it. The hot sun on his back as he bends to his shovel and boe or contemplatively rakos the warn and fragrant loam, is better than much medicine. The buds are coming out on the bushes round about; beof the fruit-tree- s gin to show; the blood is running up the grapevines in streams;' you can smell the on the near bank; and the birds are flying and and glancingsinging everywell-hoe- d Bate, $2.00 Per Year in Advance Subscription CONNER, Publisher RUTH METZ, Society Editor C. L. THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD The suffering and distress which have come to our people in the South by reason of the floods has touched the heart of the country. Not only was the original ( Red iJjJch Cross; fund at $5,000,000, President Coolidge asked for subscribed in short order, but his plea for a duplication of that amount is also being handsomely met. The federali government itself, through tha President, has already made large appropriations through the army and other official bodie3 in the way of supplies, services and protection. The president,, it has been known, gave serious considerations to the possibility of calling an extra' session of Congress to vote an even larger amount of relief. His advisorsincluding senators from certain Southern states, felt obliged to counsel him that the situation was so pressing and imminent, that the normal delay which would occur before Congress could be assembled, would bar the effectiveness of the appropriation if made. Hence, the deisionj to .postpone that effort until the December ses sion, when flood relief and control will be made the outstanding feature of the President's message.

The love of digging' in the ground (or of looking on while Mud-pie- Western Newspaper Union.) he pays another to dig) 4s as sure to come back to him as he is sure, at last, to go under the ground and stay there. To own a bit of ground, to scratch it with a hoe, to plant 3eeds. and watch their renewal of life this is the commonest delight of the race, the most satisfactory thing a man can do.

Evidence of what ,is thought to have been one of Arizonas' first mine disasters was the recent Interesting discovery in the exploration of the workings of Sodium buipnate Froaucts. company's mine at Campe Verde, Nevada. A skele ton and a number of stone hammers were uncovered. The discovery, according to Dr. Byron Cummings, acting president of the University of Arizona, is the most unique and amazing from the viewpoint of the archaeologists that have been made in the state in recent years. Dr, Cummings, who f archeology at the is professor university, estimates the relics and skeleton to be at least 1,000 years old. that the college GRIN NELLtooargues many regulations for its students, and he quotes a good many authorities lo prove that it would be a lot better for young fellows if after they are eighteen and "old enough to have some sense," they were permitted to do as they please when they come to college. "What's the use of making regulations to require them to go to class or to keep from drinking or to deprive them of having motor curs? If they don't do their work, kick em out." I suggested to him that rumor has It that the slaughter Is already more bloody than pleases the public. Grin-noi- l doesn't know that whenever anyone Is "kicked out" as he phrases It, there Is likely to be a strong protest from friends and acquaintances and fraternity brothers and influential citizens from the district in which the kickee lives. It Is all right to kick people out until the boot Is applied to one's own particular friends, and then the situation changes. "Why do yon try to save so many of them?" he asks me. "There are a whole lot whom It would be a blessing to get rid of." No doubt. He doesn't recognize the fact that even In a human plant the percentage of waste should be reduced to a minimum. Nor does he see that In the undergraduate organization of which he. is an ofiicer every effort is made through explicit regulation to salvage the new men. ."Why do you send the freshmen upstairs every night at half past seven to study, why do you limit the number of dates they may have, why are they gathered together on Tuesday eve nings and given virtuous lectures concerning concentration and study?" I ask him. "Well, we want them to make good," he explains. "Wouldn't it be better, in accordance with your theories, to Impose on the new men no duties, no regulations, no restrictions. Aren't they, too, eighteen years of age and 'old enough to have some sense'? Let them work out their own salvation. Kick 'em out if they won't do their work without ham pering regulations." "I don't think it's the same," he said Possibly not, but I could see no dif ference between the college making regulations to save its students and the fraternity doing the same thing. Regulations are necessary In every organisation and in every division of society. There are regulations pro hibiting smoking in a powder factory Whv not soy that in, such a situation a man should be allowed to do as he pleased. When his carelessness had resulted in blowing up the factory It would be ample time to pick up the fragments of his carcass and throw them out. Regulations are made for the good of the group quite as much as for the good of the individual.
