ECONOMICS ' IN THE BIBLE Everlasting Truth to Be Found In One of the Injunctions Laid Oowq y Christ, There Is a vast deal of sound eco Qomtra In the new testament, says a writer In the American Magn2lne.- - Be si'iflsh nobly. ' "Love., thy neighbor as thyself." When Christ said thnt,. he set It down as an everjasttng tn?tl that mnn mustJove vhimself in' order to' achieve 'anything i.t iH In this world, and thnt, the attempt to love auother hs he does himself is to'strUgr gle toward nn Ideal. ,Xi , , m , Moreover, when he told the rich younfr mnn to give" all r he had to the poor, he jjssued the command not be-- " cause' he despised money and tha things money 'symbolizes, he stuv thnt tills particular young mnn wns a winter, one who "couldn't stand prosperity," and that the use he made of his money harmed him Instead of helping him. There were "quarter horses" 2,000 years ago, Just as there are "quarter horses" today. j To be aelflsh In a fine way Is to oarry out one's highest destiny. That Is real philosophy. It Is also real com- - mon sense. Why Is a man put Into the world If It Is not to make the best of hlmRelf, to Improve himself, to Im-press himself on his community and his world T That is just what be Is Intended to do. And he does it In two way: The first Is by his acqutsftlveness, his pow-er to get things; It matters not wheth-er what he gets Is money, or learning, or power of eloquence, or the serenity ' of lofty thought. The second Is by us-ing properly what he has got whether It is money, or learning, or power. And If he does use It properly he IS on sure ground. To use It properly means that he uses It for his own good and. Incidentally, for tbe good of others, that he wastes 't neither In foolish living nor in, extravagant liv-ing, and, above all, that he uses it so that It Increases even while It la be-ing used, so that, In the end, he always grows In power and : Would Life Be Tolerable if the Power of Prussianisrn Held World by Throat? I -- . '" By Otto H. Ktha, B.nkej tad PUanlKropul --- -. r I It is the purpose of a common determination to fight and to bear find to dare everything and never to cease nor rest until the accursed thing which has brought upon the world the unutterable calamity, the ( devil's visitation of this appalling, war, is destroyed beyond all possibility of resurrection. j That accursed thing is not a nation, but an evil spirit, a spirit which has made the government possessed by it and executing its abhorrent and bloody bidding, an abomination in the sight of God and men. ' Speaking as one born of German parents, I do not hesitate to state it as my deep conviction that the greatest service which men of German Lirth or antecedents can render to the country of their origin is to pro-claim and to stand up for the great and fine ideals and national qualities and traditions which they inherited from their ancestors, and to set their faces like flint against the monstrous doctrines and acts of a rulership which have robbed them of the Germany which they loved and in which x.t they took just pride, the Germany which had the good will, respect and w admiration of the entire world. . . . ; I measure my words. They are borne out all too emphatically by i the hideous eloquence of deeds which have appalled the conscience of V the civilized world. They are borne out by numberless expressions, writ ten and spoken, of German professors employed by the state to teach . its youth. v.-- The burden of that teaching is that might makes right, and that the German nation has been chosen to exercise morally, mentally and t , actually, the overlordship of the world and must and will accomplish that task and that destiny whatever the cost in bloodshed, misery and ruin. Would life be tolerable if the power of Prussianisrn, run mad and f murderous held the world by the throat, if the primacy of the earth "I belonged to a government .steeped in the doctrines of . a barbarous past ; ' and supported by a ruling caste which preaches the deification of sheer might, which despises liberty, hates democracy and would destroy both if it could? ' ' : It is not for glory or for riches or for honor that we fight, but for liberty alone, which no good man loses but with his life. .. Not Altogether Good.

Hy. has a good Job and he has been work-ing all fall as though he was laying up funds for some approaching event He would no doubt consider lavorably a matrimonial bargain. It might be that Ernie Dean has al-ready been spoken, for, but tbls is not' certain, and there would be no impro-priety In interested parties going to the trouble to find out. !t would be worth a little worry to catch him even If it should be necessary to snatch him Irom the grasp of another. The boys say John Bchoettlln is plow but sure, and that he has a great fondness for feminine creatures. He posseses the qualities which ought to appeal to all good husband seekers, and he would no doubt be favorably Impressed with some sort of matri-monial offer. He is an assayer and a good one, and can be depended on to supply his better half with an abund-ance of spending money. Henry Irwin, manager of the West-ern Union Telegraph office, ought to be a shinning mark for some fair iBingham maiden, and possibly is. He Is conveniently located in the city hall and he might be interviewed on the subject at 'most any time. He is an A-- 1 fellow and takes special de-light In talking to the ladies. And he might be wired in with little trouble. For some lady who would like to have a learned man the name of Peter 'Marthakis is suggested.

He Is an TERMS USED IN MEASURING THE FLOW OF STREAMS Tbe volume of water flowing in a stream, called the '"run-off,- " or "dis-charge," Is expressed in various terms, which,- - however, may be divided into two groups those representing rate1 of flow and those representing actual! quantity of water. The rate of flow Is eenerallv exoressed as "second- - foot," an abbreviation for cubic feet per second, the unit used for measur-ing flowing water, as "gallons per minute," the unit used in connection with pumping and city water supply; as "miner's inch," the unit used by miners and irrigators for measuring water that passes through an orifice 1 inch square under a head that varies locally; and as "second-fee- t per square mile," the unit used to represent the average number of cubic feet of water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, on the assump-tion that the run-of- f 1 distributed uni-formly both as regards time and area. The actual quantity of water Is ex-pressed by the terms "run-of- f In Inch-es," "acre-feet- " and "million gallons." "Run-of- f in Inches" expresses the depth to which the drainage area would be covered if all the water flow-ing from It In a given period were con-served and uniformly distributed on the surface, It Is used for Comparing nm-f.f- f with rainfall. "Acre foot," which Is sused commonly In connec-tion with storage for irrigation, is the quantity of water required to cover an acre to the depth of 1 foot that Is. cubic feet. In the Territory of Hawaii the unit most commonly used in measuring the flow of water is "million gallons." Tills unit Is used not only to indicate a rate of flow ("million gallons per day") but an actual quantity of water stored in a reservoir. U. S. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior.
