We are so impressed with their needs, which is common to us all—of growing by doing, and of getting by giving.—Anonymous. LYNCHING IS HORRIBLE AND INEXCUSABLE A negro was hanged by infuriated men at Charleston, Mo. The prisoner accused of attempting to attack a white girl, was taken from the sheriff, hanged to a tree; a bullet was fired through the body; the body was then cut down, tied to an automobile and dragged through the streets of the negro section; the body then was hanged to a post; then, as the fury increased, the body was taken and burned. Did this vindicate justice? Did it add to the security of the community in which it occurred? Did one fiendish crime justify an outbreak of fiendishness on the part of those who should have been the guardians and conservators of the law? There is no justification for lynching. This country has courts and legal processes ample to cope with criminality. There is no crime so heinous that it may not be dealt with as it should be, by due process of law. Should penalties be too mild in some states to punish the unspeakable crime against women, the laws should be overhauled and the penalty be made more severe. Crimes of this nature should be treated as capital. The death penalty is deserved in such cases. But the imposing of the penalty should be legal and by legal process crime justify an outbreak of fiendishness on the part of those who should have been the guardians and conservators of the law? There is no justification for lynching. This country has courts and legal processes ample to cope with criminality. There is no crime so heinous that it may not be dealt with as it should be, by due process of law. Should penalties be too mild in some states to punish the unspeakable crime against women, the laws should be overhauled and the penalty be made more severe. Crimes of this nature should be treated as capital. The death penalty is deserved in such cases. But the imposing of the penalty should be legal and by legal process. Uncle Sam is comparatively young as nations go. But he has an old head on his shoulders. OUTLAW WARFARE URGED BY MANY American statesmen are advocating vigorously the outlawing of warfare. There may be differences of opinion as to methods to be used in the process of putting war beyond the pale of law and of toleration. But sentiment is the same as to the general result to be sought. President Coolidge has expressed himself strongly for the outlawing of armed strife. And Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, who is to become chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is outspokenly for the "substitution of law and public tribunals in international affairs." The best plans, as Senator Borah concedes it, should be considered as three separate propositions, namely: Creation of a body of international law, involving "going as far as humanly possible to reduce international relations to established rules of conduct." Establishment of an independent tribunal with jurisdiction and power to determine all controversies as to construction of international law or treaties. Declaring, by said tribunal, "that war is a crime no longer to be recognized at any time as a legitimate instrument for settlement of international disputes." Quoting Senator Borah further: "In other words, if war comes, it must be without the shield or sanction of law, but in violation of it, as piracy, or slavery or peonage or murder." It is the repeated assaults upon warfare, by men eminent in public and private life that are crystallizing public sentiment for the abolishment of armed strife. The good work should proceed. The world should have its hunger for permanent peace satisfied. There should be regulation of "stunt" flying, to eliminate the dangerous features. Too many lives have been sacrificed in "stunt" flights. Don't Forget That The Ever-Ready Truck & Transfer Co.

SIR GEORGE MACMUNN Sir Herbert Samuel's resignation of the post of British High Commissioner for Palestine, which he has occupied for the last four years, and the appointment of Gen. Sir George MacMunn as his successor, marks a radical change in the administration of the Holy Land. Gen. Sir George MacMunn, the now High Commissioner, is a soldier instead of a civilian and has been for the past four years Quartermaster-General of the British armies in India. From 1888, when he joined the Royal Artillery in India, he has taken part in every one of the numerous frontiers wars of that great Oriental empire and in the conquest of Burmah, being repeatedly wounded and singled out for special ditsinction and promotion incidentally winning the Distinguished Service Order, away back in 1893. He served with Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener in South Africa a quarter of a century ago and in the great war took part in the Gallipoll expedition before being appointed Commander in Chief in Mesopotamia. As indicated by his name, he is of Scottish origin and was brot up from his earliest childhood amid military surroundings, since his father, an old artillery surgeon-major, was the principal medical officer of the Royal Hospital of Chelsea, which is the English equivalent for the Palace of the invalida in Paris and the Home for Old Soldiers and Army Pensioners. The general's mother was the daughter of one of Queen Victoria's favorite chaplains. Sir George has several very instructive and interesting books to his credit, notably "A Free Lance in Kamir" and "Pike and Carronade." So much of his military life having been spent in India, especially in dealing with the war-like frontier tribes and in the con- An old farmer couldn't believe that people who miles apart were able to verse over a telephone wire day his wife went to a friend, who had a telephone house.

Health & Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "The Fast Way to Health" MILK (Continued) SUMIK may be made by using milk which has been allowed to stand in a cool place for a week or ten days. The bottle, which has been kept covered, should then be opened and about one-half of the whey removed. The rest of the milk can then be shaken in the bottle or poured into a pan and beaten with an egg beater. This is equal in value to the lemon milk, but is not so easily prepared on account of the length of time the milk takes to sour by its own lactic acid. If the milk is soured more quickly by heat the flavor is entirely different and it does not taste nearly so good as if soured for a long time in a cool place. BULGARIAN MILK. This kind of sour milk is made more quickly by adding to sweet milk a culture of Bulgarian bacillus which assist in the sourcing process and in developing the lactic acid. If it is added to raw milk it is no doubt better than ordinary butter Milk, but it cannot be compared in value to lemon milk or sumik. GOAT'S MILK may be used in place of cow's milk in any way except for milk diet. When an attempt is made to take enough goat's milk for an exclusive diet, you will find that after drinking one or two quarts a slightly unpleasant taste will gradually make itself apparent, which is not perceptible when only a small quantity is used. Goats are naturally healthy animals and their milk is very clean, so if it is enjoyed, and can be secured fresh, it makes a good substitute for cow's milk! DINNER STORIES An elderly country doctor whose business was not large set in his office reading when his henchman appeared. "Them boys is a stealin' of our green apples again, sir. Shall drive 'em away!" The doctor considered a moment and then leveling his eyes his servant, responded: "No." An attorney was consulted by young woman desirous of bringing action against her husband for divorce. She related a harrowing tale of the fil-treatment she had received at his hands. So immense was her recital that the lawyer, for a moment, was startled out of his usual professional appearance. "From what you say, my man must be a brute of the first type!" he exclaimed. The applicant for divorce arose with severe dignity, announced: "Sir, I shall consult an attorney. I came here to get twice as to a divorce, not to hear husband abused!" Two brothers were being entrained by a rich friend. As luck would have it the talk shifted away from ordinary topics. "Do you like Omar Khayyam?" broughtlessly asked the host, trying to make conversation. The older brother plunged heroically to the breach. "Pretty well," he said, "but prefer Chianiti." Nothing more was said on this subject until the brothers were their way home. "Bill," said the younger brother, breaking a painful silence, why can't you leave things that you don't understand to me? Mar Khayyam ain't a wine, you bump; it's a cheese." COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying BAD GRAMMAR IS CURRENT—Berkeley Gazette The head of the English department of the Kansas State Teachers' College declares that high school English courses are not successful in teaching grammar to pupils. He has recently finished tabulating data gleaned from examinations given to all freshmen in the school, and similar to examinations given college freshmen all over the country. These papers show a very widespread ignorance of grammar and punctuation. The results from large, flourishing high schools, were, as poor as those from small country schools. "Pupils from the same high school," he reports, "often vary to extremes." This seems to indicate either that some pupils acquire a knowledge of grammar naturally or that others are immune to good teaching. No doubt some of this ignorance of grammar goes back to the elementary schools and to home usage. Some of it, too, is caused by a general laxity on the part of everybody outside of the school room. Some advertising material is notoriously ungrammatical. Some current literature is written so hurriedly and published so carelessly that bad grammar stands forth in cold print, quite uncorrected. The language of the nation's comic section is full of bad grammar as well as bed spelling. As long as these conditions prevail, it will be a difficult matter for the English teacher, in her daily class hour, to counteract the general ungrammatical influence of the whole outside world. AND STILL, MORE SHAW George Bernard Shaw observes that when a man has anything to tell in this world the difficulty is not in making him tell it, but to prevent him from telling it too often. He finds that what a man believes may be ascertained, not from his creed, but from the assumptions on which he habitually acts. More Shavian shavings: Make money; and the whole nation will conspire to call you a gentleman. Ladies and gentlemen are permitted to have friends in the kennel, but not in the kitchen. There are no perfectly honorable men; but every true man has one main point of honor and a few minor ones. Poverty is not a thing to be afraid of.

Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing; age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing. The most intolerable pain is produced by prolonging the keensest pleasure. Charity is like prurency; it feeds on the evil it pretends to abhor. Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. When a stupid man is doing something he is afraid of, he always declares he is doing his duty. Every step of progress means a duty repudiated and a Scripture torn up.
