More of tho softer side of life, less of the storm and struggle. For several decades past tho trend in literature has been away from tho ideal" toward the real. Poet'' and nuthors, felijnlnK truth, havo painted life as a sordid cen sual sham and called this Realism. Tho fad has been popular, all tho little tlogs trying to mimic the big ones. Wo havo never been friend ly to this travesty on the holy pur pose of literature the purpose of which Is, to lift men to a higher plane aid cheer them on to greater moral conquest. But Realism Is doomed. The world Is In a war for an ideal, ono that would wako the Immortal dead and call sleeping heroes from their graves. These aro heroic times. This ago Is like ly to produce another Shakespeare. If it does, of what type will he be? Of course, he will be an idealist. But still, In the present-day litera ture, we cannot help seeing a certain tendency toward the autocratic and I an unmistakable exaltation of rank. As wo havo said, the present day I novel deals almost entirely with iiAmninmT onortoa n ml rlinrnetors. that Ohio county has 400 illiterates ; yery m0 Q. ho baUleflcld ,8 re. in her pqpulatlon and Daviess has flectedi wlllspored good-byes, the 700.

T, are s0 natural. But the point we wish to combat Is the tendency to make all tho leading characters officers and the heroines daughters of million aires. This is not akin to the great democracy of our army. In your typical modern war- novel, tho daughter of a well-known manu facturer goes to a summer resort need this training. Four nights of each of 'tho six weeks will be given by tho county agent to the superin tending of the different schools In tho county she establishes. It is tho requirement of the county agent appointed that she be the hol der of a first class certificate for teaching and to have taught three or four years. She Is then to co-operate with the county superintendent and Mrs. Stewart In the carrying on of the campaign against Illiteracy. Co-operation of Teachers Sought. The co-operation of tho county teachers will also bo asked and tthelr help In establishing the even TiiE schools when tho agent will over see. It shall bo one object to teach patriotism first In these . evening schools. Patriotism will be tho key note all through the course. The ffrst students will bo the drafted 'men, or men subject to draft and their families. This will make tho training easier for them when they reach camp, for they are being train ed nightly In all camps to read and write and the rudiments of learning. The students will bo given history drills and will be taught the reason for this war and tho events leading up to It and why the U. S. A. and the allies aro at war. The county agent will recelvo a nominal sum for her work and sho will be expected to pay her own ex penses. The last census reveals' the fact Illiteracy. Institute at Frankfort. Mrs. Mills attended the institute in Frankfort last week where plans were made with regard to the pro cedure in this measure. The cam paign received the endorsement of Gov. A. O. Stanley, Prof. H. H. Cher ry, of tho Western Stato Normal at Bowling Green, E. O. Coats, of the Eastern State Normal at Richmond, V. O. Gilbert, stato superintendent of public Instruction, and other ed ucators attending. Mrs. Mills will establish evening schools of lustruc- Jttfon throughout Ohio and Daviess tWntles, working in connection with Supt. John L. Graham and Mr3. Stewart. Sho was In Hartford on this mission Tuesday afternoon, ,iavlng entered upon" her duties Tuesday. Owing to the county schools not being In session until September, It wlU probably bo Sep tember 1 beforo the evening schools will be organized In Daviess county. It shall bo tho aim In this campaign to also Increase tho school attend ance In tho district schools, that tho men and women of tho future, by this method, may have good practi cal educations. This Is considered another phase of war work, and one of the greatest of tho war activities at homo, with the county agents the missionaries to tho Illiterates In tho outlying districts. Those who know of any Illiterates In their community aro asked to as sist the commission and the county agent by reporting to her,any time. Also those who will assist with the gets everything that goes with the "uniform." rAe standardization of woolens and colorings also was advocated by President Frankel, who said shrink ago causes greater loss than any- I thing else. Ho urged that tho Government cllmlnat. all one- dol-lar-a-year men and replace them with practical men. Profiteers were denounced as traitors who made tho consumer pay the bill, and life imprisonment was urged us the pen alty. Ho predicted that America was destined to be the greatest coun try in the world. "Tho labor situation is becoming more and more critical every day, Tho eight-hour law does not tend for efficiency and industry. Rather it is a great detriment in that it re stricts production and increases the cost. Tho proposed forty-four-hour week is virtually control of industry by labor, which will be made easy to obtain through the great Govern ment contracts that are being turn ed out. The workers do not want this, however, for they realize they will be unable to utilize the addition al recreation hours. If the forty-eight-hour week is essential to In dustry, why permit overtime at all?" - NEW SUGAR KEUUJiATIONS.
