What's the use to talk about our

Or talk too much about our neigh
bors' sins?
It's better not to blaz-* our neigh

Or craze ourselves with our own
teazins whims.
It's better not to be too much

It's often better just to try to learn,
And not to blame too much th.-

Till we're contented with just what
we earn.
It's better to have eyes than have

It's better to look-out for learning

For when we fancy we are super

Away with all the "policies" and

Away with "argumenting" this

THE LAND.
•.-1 "vf-
FEW ASK FOR CHAN8ES
Majority Feel That President's Quid*,
•nee 8hould Be Held—He Regards
Pact As 8ure to Come Spon.
(By Mt. Clemens News Bureau)
Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train—From the Capital at Washing
ton to the far'Pacific coast the Presi
dent of the United States has Jour
neyed on the most unusual expedition
ever undertaken by a chief executive
Of the nation.
To discuss national questions, many
presidents .have toured the land but
Mr. Wilson is laying before America
a question which affects the whole
world—the question of whether Mr not
we. are to join in the League of Na
tions whether we are to forget our
former isolation and share with the
other peoples ot the earth the respon
sibilities of maintaining civilization
and preventing, as ho says we can do,
future warfare.
Between the capital and the coast
the president made fifteen speeches
and half a dozen brief talks. All of
100,000 fellow citizens listened to him.
Several millions had the chance to see
him, and apparently everyone wanted
to see him, from those who thronged
the streets of the cities and towns
where he stopped, to those who came
to the railside or stood at little flag
stations in remote places, knowing
their only reward could be a fleeting
glimpse and a wave of the hand.
He has met and talked to all types
of citizens—to men big in the busi
ness, financial and professional worlds,
to farmers and mechanical workers,
to Indians and cowboys and foreign*
born herders and rangers, to soldiers
and to mothers who lost soldier-sons
in the late war.
What do they all tell him? unani
mously they say they want peace
definitely settled, they want no more
,wars, they want the League of Na
tions, and most of the American peo
ple, it nay be fairly said, tell the
President .they want the League just
as it is, without the reservations or
amendments which certain senators
bave insisted upon, Th? majority of
citizens say to those who interview
them on this tour:
"Woodrow Wilson guided us rightly
before and during the war with Qer
tnapy. We entered that war, every
on£ agrees, to end all wars. 4le says
the- league, can do that. We want to
do that, so let us keep on trusting him
and get the league into operation as
soon as possible. Forget politics."
Most Americans encountered on the
tour have forgotten politics. Repub
lican Governors and Mayors have In
troduced the President to his audi
ence the Major part of the local com
mittees which have met him have
been Republicans, They have all said:
"We are nothing but Americans, Mr.
President."
Mr. Wilson's arguments tor the
league, briefly summarized, are those:
There can be no peace, either now
pr iu the future, without it. There
can paly be a regrouping of nations
and a new "Baianea of Fowep," which
Is certain to lead to war. There can
be no war in the future, with the
league in existence, becattse.no single
nation would defy the united rest of
mankind, and if It did, it could be
brought to terms by an economic
boycott, and without the use of arms.
There can be no reduction in the
cost of living until the league is es
tablished, for nations will not go
ahead with peace time production un
til they know that peace is definitely
assured and that production of war
material is no longer necessary.
There can be wonderful prosperity,
with the league in existence, for rel
ations of labor atad capital all over
the world willvbe made closer and
mdre fHendly, and the worker will re
ceive a fairer share of what he pro
duces.
These declaration ot the president,
logically and eloquently put, have left
his hearers thinking -and thinking
deeply. And then Mr. Wilson hat
pointed out, the people themselves, ac
differentiated from senators and politl
clans, seen to want just -what thc
president wants, which Is America for
leadership.
Quite as unusual as the purpose of
the cross country tour la the manner
In which it is being carried out and
the completeness of the arrange
ments on tbe nine ear train which 1E
.bearing the party
At the rear is the private car May
Bower, occupied by the President anc
Mrs. Wilson. Next is a compartipent
car tor the secretary Tumulty, Ad
mlral Grayson, Mr. Wilson's Phys*
Elan, tour stenographers, the chief
executive clerk and seven secret ser
vice men. Byond are three compart

five
movie men, and

BRED GREAT MEN
Italian City of Florence May
Claim High Honor.
Birthplace of Many of Thos* Who
Rank, in Intellectual Ability and
Achievement, Far Above the ,-
Rest of Mankind.
At first thought one would be apt
to claim for London,, the great metrop-.
oils, the honor of having given birth
to the grentest number of the world's
geniuses.'
Among other great Londoners the
following might be cited: Francis Ba
con, philosopher and essayist Spen
ser, Jonson, Milton and Keats, world
known and honored poets Hogarth,
Turner, Watts, Mlllals and Holman
Hunt, artists whose achievements are
acclaimed by all the world of taste
Fox, Pitt and Beaconslleld, statesmen
who have Influenced the building of
empire Daniel Defoe, the novelist
Faraday and Huxley, the scientists,
and many others. All these would
stand In the very front ranks of great
ness, some of them, like Milton and
Bacon, towering above their fellow
men like mountain peaks among mole
hills.
The Frenchman would undoubtedly
stand up for the claims of Paris, quot
inga long list of poets and painters
and novelists and statesmen to justify
his boast.
The Italian would probably put the
question: "How far back may we go
in this quest? For If ancient Rome 18
to be added to the record of the more
modern city, where will you find her
equal?"
Then Athens would lift up her clas
sic voice In protest, and quote a long
list of her sons who have formed the
models of all subsequent time in art
and poetry and philosophy and arcljil
tecture.
But there Is another competitor
which can beat them all In this com
bat. Compared with London or Paris,

There is probably nothing that
seems so useless in the eyes of the
average person as an Irish potato
which has begun to rot, but the de
partment of agriculture In its war-time
experiments has discovered that starch'
can be made from a decayed potato
just as well, if not better, than from
a good one, and so the surplul jrti
ot the farmer ot dealer heed no
be thrown away or wasted.
In like fashion chemists
metliofls awlfl wppiaiwlfle
shortages have found that sugar can
not only be made from beets, but
from sweet potatoes as well. The
farmer hlmselt can make good sirup
from his sweet potatoes by boiling
them until they can be mashed In the
water to thick, mushy liquid. Tb this
ground malt Is added and the result,
after properly cooking for about an
hour, is a thick sirup, which Is strained
through a cloth and used for any sort
of sweetening.

Plre-Retardlnr Paints,
From tests made at the federal' bn

while -practicallySrall paint coating*
have some fire-retarding action, none
of those sb far tested afford very great
protection. All the samples in question
were materially damaged by applica
tion of flame for a few. seconds. Both

comparatively high. These have the
advantage of cheapness gnd both

ALWAYSHAS HOPE
Prospector for Gold One of For
tunate Men.
With Belief In One's Luck to
Be-
Must Ahead" the Buffets of Fate
Aria Things at Which
yV.,... to Laugh.
The typical prospector for gold, still'
met with In the far hills and deserts.'
may well be taken by all men as an"i'
example and an inspiration as far as-'
the blessings of staying, hopes are^i
concerned, says the Los Angeles
Times.
"Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick," says the proverb. But it Is not
a good proverb. No matter how long
deferred a hope may be it should*'.
never be abandoned. It should never
be-anything but an Inspiration and an
incitement.
Take this nomadic tribe of prospec-^..
tors, for Instance. The typical pros-, ij
pector Is a man-who has spent per
haps the most of his life pursuing a, 'i
hope that has never been realized. Yet,
we never find them discouraged. We
never know them to end their daysr
In despair. No matter how many their •.
years of failure may be they will tell
you that Just beyond the next chain
ot hills or In the heart of a still unex
plored, desert the treasures they seek'^f
are surely awaiting them.
A most sincere and persistent man
is the prospector. He believes in his- 1
quest and respects it The little or
the much that he wins by spasmodic
toll he invests In his dreams. He"
braves- the solitudes and the lonely
wastes of the world to reach the goal
for which he Strives. Hunger, thirst
and other hardships and sufferings he
endures with a willing heart
And he never despairs. That's the
glory of the prospector—he never de
spairs.
The average man, hedged In by the""
traditions of towns and cities or set
tled in'the humdrum of the country,'
looks upon the prospector as a queer
and somewhat demented individual.
We laugh at this strange fellow who% 1
Is pictured to us as plodding along In
the .wildernesses and the sandy deso
latlons with his pack and his burro,'
following the wlll^b'-the-wlsps ot for
tune.
But the prospector Is only doing in
bin Way what we are doing in ours.,
We are following each our'own .dream
as the prospector is following his. __
The only difference Is that we pro-1
ceed In safety and without adventure,
Otherwise we are the saiqe as th9
wanderer of tfce flesprt wil the hills/,
A?lfl
also we Are soon discouraged' and
we are easy prey to defeat, while It Is
death alone that can defeat the pros
pector.
It seems to us that of all the mis-
fortunes there to* in llfer-and heaven
knows there are many—the misfor
tune of hopelessness Is the worst.-'
"Only for hope the heart would die,"
said a poet It was a true thing to
say..
And about this wonderful thing of
hope there Is another way to look at It
and that Is that we should always
have at least one hope ahead. That
Is to say, we should always have some
thing that we look forward to. Then,
If What we have In hand tails us, th«
other ttdnjFtiiat we look forward to
will
to be busy with
.which we ahould
Always have

There Is really soi^ilng^aiystert
ons about a hope. If y^i will cherish
It faithfully and keep 1$ warm in your
heart you will be almost sure, to some
time reallxe It, It (s said that we are
what we believe ourselves to be. But
perhaps we might better say that yn
are what our hopes drs,
Since then a longeherlshed hope Is
most likely to be realised, surely it -t
were foolish of us to harbor hopes thatv
will not bring us comfort and Joy.*^
Hope for the best there l»—not greatly ft
riches, not any material possesaton,
but peace for the heart and-la serene s^ ?,'

forty varieties of seed the kind known
as "Trice" Is best suited for Chinese A
cultivation. It appears that "Trice"
