We live ia the midst of blessings
till we are utterly insensible of their
greatness, and of the source from
where they flow. We speak of our
civilization, our art's, our freedom,
our laws, and forget entirely how
large a share is due to Christianity.
Blot Christianity out of the pages of
man's history, and what would his
laws have been? what bis civiliza
tion? Christianity is mixed up with
,our very being and our daily life;
there is not a familiar object around
us which does not wear a different
aspect because the light of Chris
tian love is on it; not a law which
does nut owe its truth and gentle
ness to Christianity; not a custom
which cannot be traced in all its
holy, healthful parts to the Gospel.
The sheriff of Knox county, it is
aa.id, took his son along with him
and beat up a citizen with whom
there had been some trouble over
passing through a small strip of
land It is thought up in Knox that
the proceeding was a shade out of
the line of an official proceeding.

Practical Education
One of the most ridiculous mis
takes of the older education was its
failure to bring up young people
fitted to live in the country and en
gage in agriculture. Tnis is one of
the principal causes of high cost of
food. We refused to teach country
young people anything about the
calling in which they expected to
make a living.
We fitted them to be clerks and
book-keepers in city stores. Noth
ing was taught them as to how
food production can be made a bus
iness success, or as to how country
life can be made successful and ad
vantageous. As a consequence most bright
voung folks, having learned to de
spise their father's business, rushed
off to the cities. Jhe farmerse were
left without help. Foreign laborers
were brought in But they were
no satisfactory substitute. Often
this hired ,he)p could not be had.
As a result, having driven all the
food producers away from the farms
we now complain because food
costs high.
A large number of agricultural

schools have now been starred. A
great u any young people are learn
ing how to make farms pay. and
how to organize ccmmjunity life in
a country town. In time this will
lead to greater food production. But
there are not nearly enough of these
schools, and they need more gener
0U9 support.
Practical educaiion is a big sub
ject.' The many questions relating
to the education of girls has not
been taken up. In conclusion it
can be said that if our education
can be made thoroughly practical,
we can attain an efficiency that
will make the United States more
prosperous 'than ever before, in
spite of the great burdens it has to
carry. $s
Widespread Thievery
Complaint is made of a carnival
of thievery now going on, particu
larly from railroad aud express
shipments. , Crooks who dispose of
stolen goods send out gunmen to
rob from freight cars and freight
stations.
The railroads, owing to shortage
of labor, have bad to take on some
undesirables, who may 6teal them
selves, or at least accept tips to
keep their mouths shut.
There has been a complaint of an
unusual amount of crime since the
war began. The criminal element
have felt that the law and order
forces of the community were too
busy fighting a war to look after
them, and that they could ply their
nefarious trades with less inter
ference than usual.
Modern penology is inclined to
treat a first offender lightly, and by
the probation system to give" him
a chance to make good. But if be
shows a persistent criminal . tend
ency, merciful treatment not merely
encourages bim to persist, but it is
a bid to all uncaught criminals to
take their chances.

Adinini.-truti-r Hoover sectored in a
Matement rechtd by ir-e Missouri
Division of the IV-d Administra
tion While tne price? of seme food
Muffi will decrease, others will in
cr;iise, he said.
"Wi'h the war tffectu;-.l.y over,"
said Mr. Hoover, "we eater a new
economic era and its immediate ef
fect on prices is difficult to antici
pate The prices of some food com
modities may increase, but others
will decrease, because with liberat
ed shipping, accumulated stocks in
the Southern Hemisphere and the
Far EcM will be available. The
demands upon the United States
will change in character, but not in
volume."
All activities of the Food Adminis
tration will be continued through
the armistice period, said Mr.
Hoover, adding that "there will be
no relaxation of efforts to keep
down profiteering to the last
moment."
"The maintenance of the embar
go." he continued, "will prevent de
pletion of our stocks by hungry
Europe below our necessities and
anyone who contemplates specula
tion in food against the needs of
these people can well be warned of
the prompt action of the govern
ment." Famine, Mr. Hoover declared, is
the mother of anarchy, and if we
value our own safety we cannot bit
idly by and see the growth of this
cancer in the world's vitals. There
are conditions of famine in Europe,
he 6aid, that will be beyond our
power to remedy.
"There a re. 40 million persons in
Northern Russia to whom I fear
little access with food can be obtain
ed," be said.
