What Love Is?
'1 ove." writes the editor of an
MctPrn naoer." is at first an illusion
and then a delusion."
We can't remember just who this
editor is nor in what paper the quo
tation appeared, but we'll bet our
Sunday-go-to-meetin boiled shirt
that he walks backwards and that
instead of good red blood there flows
through his veins the sourest of
vinegar.
Probably somewhere back in his
purple, palpitating past there was a
girl who passed him by him and
married the other fellow and ever
since the carking canker of crabbed
ness has been eating away and eat

his heart.
Love a delusion!
By all the golden, sunny ringlets
on the brow of Cupid, by all the
sweet lips that ever puckered into a
rosebud to receive the kiss of a lover,
we swear that love is no delusion.
Does a delusion make the world
go 'found? Is the blue sky an illu-
sion
?
Is it an illusion when our cardiac
pumping-station goes all y-flutter at
the sott-whispered words of the
sweetest girl God ever made?
Is it an illusion when we thrill in
every nerve if a tiny, soft, velvety
hand chances to linger, just for an
Dstint, in ours as we look into a

seem shallow as a mud-puddle?

if we hear that "THE" girl has a

Is it an illusion when she buries
her face behind the lapel of our coat,
shvly nods her little head and
answers "yes" when we ask her
the greatest question in the world?
Is it? IS it?
W should say NOT!
Love is the concentrated essence
of goodness, sprinkled upon the
tender petals of a crystalized violet.
It comes skyhooting down from the
high heavens on a mellow moon
beam, entwines its silken tendrils
about your fluttering heart until your
breath comes in short, quick, ecsta
tic gasps and your soul just seems
to float awav on a billow of seatoam
to the Island of Rosebuds and Orangel
Blossoms.
Love an illusion?
It is NOT. And believe us, we
know.
We've tried it often enough.
The Inferiority of the Negro.
"Our friends down South, being
sure that the negroes are inferior,
deny them advantages and provide
inferior schools for negro children in
order that they will continue to be
inferior and thus prove the correct
ness of the contention of the scien
tists and sentimentalists that the
negro is inferior After all, there is
nothing quite so satisfying as the
feeling that you haye got things
fixed so that you will always have
an inferior race in your midst "

funny or even interesting. The Life
editor made a bad break.

Mind Your Business.
(By Hiram Wallace.)
I believe that the farmers in
ail
parts
of the country pay too much
attention to other peoples' business
and not enough to their own. The
farmer roust understand that his
farm is a manufacturing plant and
that he is a business man the same
as any other individual who is en
gaged in turning out a finished or
partly finished product. Farming
therefore is a business. It needs at

Farm Credits System Needed
St. Joseph, Mo. Farm wealth of
the United States, estimated at $40.
000,000,000, should be the basis on
which the prosperity of the country
rests permanently, yet there is no
adequate law under which to finance
the farm. That was the condition
described here last week at the In
terstate Agricultural Congress by
W. C. Brown, former president of the
New York Central Railroad
"The establishment of farm credits
is one of the most important ques
tions now before the nation' Mr.
Biown said. "The farmer is paying
twice the interest he should. Long
time loans at a low rate would en
able the farmers to properly finance
their work and it is this financing
upon which depends to a large de
gree the prosperity of the country."

Taft Lands Washington and Wilson.
Morristown, N. J , Feb. 22 The
United States is threatened with a
serious invasion of its rights as a
neutral by the warring nations of
Europe and in preserving its com
merce with those nations is face to
face with a crisis, in the opinion of
former President Wm. H. Taft. In
the solution of that crisis, should it
arise, no jingo spirit must be allowed
to prevail, Mr. Taft advised; neither
pride nor momentary passion should
influence judgment.
"And when the President shall
act," Mr. Taft declared, "we must
stand by him to the end. In this
determination we must be sure that
all will join, no matter what their
i previous views, no matter what
their European origin. All will for
get their differences in self-sacrific-
loyalty t0 our common flag and

those wno look back to a country
of one or the other of the belliger

The natural result has followed that
the bitterness of the contest is re
flected in the conflicting sympathies
of our people. The newspapers of
no other country have been as full
of details of the war and of the cir
cumstances leading to it, as our own
press. This has stimulated public
interest and created partisans who
attack President Wilson because he
has been faithfully following the ex
ample set, and the admonitions giv-
en, by our nrst rresiaent.

Do we not every Sabbath have a teacher in the pulpit and in the Sun
day-school, so that we may live better lives?
Does not every lawyer have from one to two thousand silent teachers
in his office; that is, his law books ? And he daily learns from them, so
that he may be a better lawyer.
Does not the physician have his books (his silent teachers) and medical
papers that he learns from every day? Many of them go often to take spe
cial courses in the large city hospitals, so that they may be more skillful
physicians.
Do not our children listen to the teachers in the public schools nine
months out of the year?
Does not the banker take the financial papers and attend bankers' con
ventions, in order to learn better methods, even if his hair is white as
snow? Yes, it is all true.
Why should not the f aimer have his teacher and bring forth the fruits
of the earth more abundan tly ? Without such fruits the population of the
earth would disappear The farmer heads all occupations in importance; he
feeds the world, with the help of Providence. Surely he needs teachers
also. There is no farmer, no matter how good a one he is, but who can
learn to be a better one.
Every farmer should read a reliable farm paper, one covering the exact
needs of his section, and, whenever possible he should take a short-term
course at the State Agricultural College.
