LAND OF DESTINY.
In a presidential yt-ar men are mule, characters
rteflncd and destlnlf-3 pcannni bi tho ir-ile of the
nation. It is a time for rejoicing because a favored
on ts honors, a nood neighbor 13 exulted, or the
child of the farm becomes the "rr.an of the. hour."
In this campaign th successful contender for the
otTlce of chie.f executive will be a child of the farm,
for the, reauon that all candidates were born on
farms.
It 13 certainly an Inspiring thought to realize that
in the, United States there is no barrier to the at
tainment of the hiehest honor in the plft of the
people. How often tho fond mother, pitting ty the
cradl rocking hr infant son, looks upon hU inno
cent face and predicts, in her o'.vn mind that some
day that little one her boy may become a great
and honored man. With her own hands she opens
the window to a world of wonderful opportunities.
Of all men who live upon the earth, he who is
without hope is the most miserable. To him all days
and nights are dark. Hut those visions do not come
to the American. He lives in tho hope of brighter
dayp, happier hours and more peaceful and pleasant
environment. To him and hin family there comes
the musical whispering voice of prophecy that tells
the tale of destiny, inviting an inspiring spirit of
determination that epells success.
o
THE SPEED MENACE.
If the epped maniacs endangered only their
own machines and their own lives, there, wouldn't
be anything to worry about. Perhaps the world
would be better off and safer if they would wreck
their machines and kill themselves.
nut the man who goes tearing through a city
Ftreet at 40 miles an hour is a menace, to others.
Other automobtllsts are not safe on the same
street; pedestrians are not safe on sidewalks or at
crossings.
The speed flend is one of - the most dangerous
of criminals, for he is nothing but a criminal. His
criminality lies In his indifference to the safety of
others. Officers of theMaw do well to hunt him
down, and judges upon the bench are recreant to
their duty to the public when they do not impose
the full penalty of th law upon him.
The speed maniac is not to bo shown any mercy.
At any time, by anybody. That is why he talks
to deaf ears when he g.u s to thf newspape r office
and asks that his name be kept ou of print after
he has been arrested.
BAD DISTRIBUTION.
A New York newspaper tells of farmers from
Long Island. Staten Island and New Jersey bringing
wagonload aftr wagonload of fresh vegetables into
the city ami. after a futile effort to sjll them, forced
to haul them back home or leave them to rot. At
the same timo immense quantities of fruits and
vegetables h tve been arriving from more distant
place, most of which havo been sold at a loss to
the shippers. Meanwhile retail prices throughout
tho -lty have been h!d up to th.i old, high level.
The raptr say:
"It ?s not a question of over-production.
There are plenty of people to buy more fresh
food If It can be had cheap. Hut they cannot
buy it, although it reaches the city. They must
pay th- prices that the dealers demand."
The situation may be worse in the metropolis
than anywhere else. Hut It is bad enough in all the
in nearly very city, large or small.
It is a bad method of distribution, which makes
it too difficult for the producer to ileal directly
with the consumer, ar.d which gives too much pow-
r to th' se who take charge of the distribution.
It .in old ."Tory too ni.iny middlemen, and some
of them or all of them taking mere protU than
their services are worth. What every community
needs is not necessarily more regulation, but a
simi'b c and more flexibly arrangement, whereby the
food need not pass through more than one set of
hands, or two at most, on its way to the consumer,
and whreby the consumer himself mny do biisi-r..-s
directly with the producer if he is dissatisfied
wan the way the deaK-rs are handling things.
Altogether, this distribution problem is the most
serious ( r.e m American economic life. We cat. pre
dt:c" plenty of food stall's and other commodities,
tr.d we can crr.sjm." all we produce. Hut we do not
eem abU to pass them around without vast loss.
POLAND'S ' RASH ADVENTURE."
Americans have always admired and syinp2thlzed
with Fol.tnd. Americans have been especially sym
pathetic in rtcent ('.ays. siting the Polish army
t-wept tack by the Russian.- and the new I'oli'h
republic in immimnt rcril of b ing ov erwhelmed
by bolshnvism.
At the same time, it micrhl be said that Poland
Invitfd this difäsicr.
Jffedtre wfcWi. Ihn musical grr.ius who p'.ayed the
chief part in the politicaF resurrection of PUrd.
and is now virtually an exile, said sadly to an
American newspaper man In France the other
day:
"No. I am not forsaking Poland, but I'olanJ
is no longer willing to listen to my advice. I
did not approve the rnh adventure )n the
Ukraine. I warned everyone that it would lead
to disaster, but no one would pay any atten
tion. I knew that we would not have any as
sistance from the allies, but my countrynien
were carried away by their own enthusiasm.
The result is that Poland is in a very crPical
sltuatlon." A "raph adventure" it was indeed, Poland's
great task was internal reconstruction. Sh? em
barked on a career of conquest, invading territory
that was not Polish at all. If she had "stayed at
homf" the bolsheviki might have let her alone.
Now nobody knows what will come of it.
The allies may render Poland belated aid, and
perhaps it is their duty though it is embarrassing
for Americans Just now to peak of International
duties.
DANCING AND FITNESS.
"There is only one way to keep fit, and that is to
oance," nays Phyllis Redells, a famous Rrltlsh
ballet dancer.
"Iancing will cure colds, ward off ;.ieu-
monia. alleviate insomnia and depression and
tlo ;t lot of other extraordinary things be' ond
the score of medical attention."
Even a ballet dancer does not know everything.
On reflection, almost anyone may remember colds
that were cautjht at danees, may remember hear
ing of pneumonia, casts attributed to getting chill
ed between dances, and of Instances of "insomnia
and depression" after the ball 'was over. It might
also be remarked that there is more than one way
for a woman to "keep tit." Home authorities rec
ommend golf, others swimnjlng, others garden
ing, and others housework, just ns highly :s the
gifted Phyllis recommends dancing.
The rest of her argument, however, is sounder.
Ten years ago, she recalls, a woman usually
abandoned dancing in her late 20's. considering
herself too old for such frivolities. And the no
tion that she was growing old, combined with tho
lack of exercise ami diversions commonly asso
ciated with youth, helped to make her old. Today,
thanks to this Fame wholesome exercise and the
buoyant, stimulating mental atmosphere that goes
with it. many a woman at f0 years old is younger
than she was in her 30's. Dancing, whatever its de
fects when carried to the rather absurd limits of
recent years, is a great restorer of youth.

CHARMS OF THE CITY.
Some people who worry over the troubles of com
ing years, that may or may not come, are much
alarmed because so few of the boys who 'went to
war are golng back to the farms. It is predicted that
there will be famine in the land if more food is not
produced. In the vicinity of lar cities, it Is aid
not more than one in ten of the boys brought up in
rural districts have gone back to the farm after
being released from military service.
There are, charms in the city that the farm does
not have. The streets are alive with humanity, thea
ters are open day and night, strangers are coming
and goiag and fetee and festivals are ever changing:
the shifting scenes, preventing stagnation and
monotony. It Is good business for the city people
to keep things on tho move, to retain residents and
bring more to the Industrial centers. Every person
making a home in a city is an asset to the com
merce of that city.
The commercial spirit seems to hold the upper
hand on most people. For 300 years the work of city
building has been going on in the United States, at
the expense of the rural districts. Now the charms
of city life, with municipal light, heat, water and
extensive transportation systems. Invite the men and
women from the farm. It. may be a sign of future
losses in production and higher prices for con
burners, but the young people of this age are not
given to very serious thinking along the line of
economic waste.
o
RUSSIAN DUPLICITY.
The bolshevik leaders, apparently, are quick to
learn. Having been tricked into an ignominious
peace at Hrest Litovsk by the Germans, they are
applying the same tactic in armistice negotiations
with the Poles.
Evidence is multiplying that the Reds have no
desire to end hostilities with Poland while thty are
gaining advantages bn the battleflc-ld. Without al
lied aid to Poland, that country will be under Puss
rule in another week.
Put will the Russian bolshevik leaders stop when
they have conquered Poland? This question just
r.ow is giving allied leaders food for serious thought.
It might furnish food for serious thought for some
Americans particularly republicans. were it not
a campaign year. When bolshevism has enveloped
Europe and turned Its longing eyes Americaward
well who Is it that is hobbling the League of Na
tions as a resisting force anyway?

PITY THE CENSrs TAKCU!
(Christian Mossvngvr.)
Fince the days when King David numbered the
children of Israel the taking of the census has al
ways been productive of trouble. David's enumera
tion was for military purposes and was expressly
against the divine command because it was tanta
mount to an expression of distrust In the power that
established the chosen people as a nation. As far as
our advices go there has been no decree of the Al
mighty directed against census taking in the United
F:ats. but that ls practically the only pource from
which complaints against the last census hae not
emanated.
Civic pride I exceedingly sensitive, and when the
citizens of a community have read the estimates of
real estate men and various civic bodies showing
how a place has doubled in population since thq
last census was taken, they are very naturally dis
appointed when the ce'd flirure are presented to
them.

More Truth

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
NOT WORD ron WORD.
In gay Puree, where Love holds
sway
Rut I''aithfulne.ss Is often phoney
They've stricken out the word
"obey"
From tho conjugal ceremony.
The reason beinpr. we are told.
That Mother Eve's dark-eyed de
pendents, More firmly to their lords will hold
If they are granted independence.
If shy Flirtation's pleasant sea
Is not forbidden them to swim in,
Tho best authorities agree
They will not want to being wo
men. To know the law forbade her go
With other gentlemen to tlinner,
Affected Fifi like a blow
It woke profound rebellion In her.
But now that she can flirt with ease,
No matter if she's duly wedded,
And ogle any nan sho sees
Her nerves and heart are nicely
steadied.
There'll b; no heartbreak now, nor
sighs,
For, as the Paris women view it,
If bursting from the nuptial ties
Is no more wrong, then wherefor
do it?
We still employ the word "obey"
To bind fond hearts through
storm and strife time.
And in this country Love holds sway
And marriage often lasts a life
time. j
And though we now and then have
heard
Of wives engaged in mild flirta
tions. We know that when they say the
word
They murmur it with reserva
tions! (Copyright. 1920.)

AN NIK.
This quaint but charming - and
undeniably popular name has no
etymological right to existence.
Though It signifies grace and is of
course closely related to Anne and
Anna, It has no scientific excuse for
being. It seems rather to be the
natural endearment rising out of
the chill dignity of Anne.
It 1 barely possible that Annie
may have come to us by a more
direct route than coHoquillsrn. A
favorite name In early Gaelic time
was Anne signifying Joy. The pro
nounclatlon of this name is very
similar to Annie. In England how
ever, there has arisen a fashion of
christening Annie, probably from
confusion as to the spelling of Ann
or Anne.
With tho exception of Anna, the
quaint name of Annie is the most
popular of all forms in this coun
try. Anne Is piquant and Anna
slightly forbidding, but Annie ap
peals to the popular taste ami Yan
kee love, of endearment.
Amber is Annie's tallsmanic stone.
It will bring her health and guard
her from disease. Tuesday is her
luckv day and 4 her lucky number.
