Make Christmas a sane one.
Politics has practically driven
Ella Flag Young, one of America's
noblest women and superintendent 1
of the Chicago public schools, out ’
of office. She has just resigned at *
the age of 71 and will make her *
home in California. Mrs. Young
was too progressive for the pur
poses of the politicians who hold 1
places on the Chicago school board. '
The world-war has been raging
16 months and there is no sign of
an end. The slaughter will proba
bly continue until the nations are (
exhausted, are too weak to fight ,
further. And then, what? More
nations are entering—who will be
able to keep out? Everybody is .
asking Where will it End? When
will it End? How will it End?
Ford's peace party is ridiculed in
Europe, the President can do noth
ing, the Pope is helpless, who can
tell the end?
APPROVING THE PRESIDENT S MESSAGE.
The message which President
Wilson delivered to Congress last
week has attracted more attention
than any other message to Con
gress during the last thirty years.
It is admitted by all that the
state papers of President Wilson
rank very high, but none of the
others equal the last one in the
epoch making events which it in
augurated.
From every location the great
rhorus of approval is swelling
wider and wider and louder and
louder; for the country realizes
now as never before that the vast
and unlimited wealth of this great
country is no “longer safe" without
adequate defense.
The American idea of prepared
ness is to be a citizenry trained to
arms so that if we are attacked, as
some of the nations of Europe have
been attacked, we will be ready to
meet the aggressor with trained
men. President Wilson is acting
on the same principle as any city,
which organizes a police and fire
department for the protection of
life and property.

class, six destoyers, four monitors,

According to the U. S. public
health service a new disinfectant,
derived from pine oil, a by-product
in the manufacture of turpentine,
possessess qualities superior to or
dinary disinfectants, being four
times as powerful as carbolic acid
for disinfectanting purposes, yet
non-toxic and without harmful ef
fects when it comes in contact
with delicate membranes or with
fabrics or metals. This discovery
is particularly valuable at this time
because of the shortage of coal-tat
derivatives for disinfectant pur
poses. _
Metallic magnesium, the lightest
metal known, is said to have quali
ties superior to aluminum. A fac
tory has been established at Niaga
ra Falls for making it and the
product o{ this plant has been con
tract for by the French government
for the manufacture of aeroplane
parts. At the close of war when it
is no longer in demand for this pur
pose the company proposes to use
the material for the manufacture
of household utensils.

Paradoxical as it may seem, ker
osene is the best extinguisher
known for fire in baled cotton.
Owing to the fact that the colton
is highly compressed water will
penetrate to a depth of only an
inch or so. Fire in the baled cot
ton does not blaze but smolders
slowly, eating its way into the bale.
Kerosene quickly penetrates to the
center of the mass. Owing to the
low temperature in which the cot
ton burns, however, and to the ab
sence of flames the oil does not
take fire but instead chokes and
smothers the fire already started.
When the fire has been extin
guished the bale is opened. The
oil then evaporates quickly, leaving
the cotton practically as good as
ever. _
America Makes Toys.
For hundreds of years the peas
ants of France and Germany have
made Christmas toys for the whole
Christian world, but the Europear
war has stopped the industry over
there, and the United has had to
make her own toys this year. You
will be interested in the special il
lustrated article covering the sub
jects which we publish in this issue
of the News.
Earle W. Hodges, candidate for
governor, opened his campaign at
Forest City Tuesday. Mr. Hodges
has been elected secretary of
state three times, the last time by
the biggest majority ever given a
candidate for a state office, which
speaks louder than words for his
popularity and the experience
gained in this office fits him for the
one to which he now aspires.
What the Editor Knows.
In the schools of iournalism they
are teaching that an editor needs to
know a great deal about a great many
things, and that he cannot possibly
know too much; and that is right, but
the most Important thing for an edi
tor to know is how little comparatively
any editor can know.—Boston Globe.

Lightning Begins on Time.
A bolt of lightning, shooting through
an 18-inch stone wall at the home of
William Reese, , near Valley Forge,
Pa., tore a hole in the building as large
as a man’s head, struck a grandfa
ther’s clock in a room where the fam
ily was gathered and threw the glass
door of the clock across the room,
shattering it into a thousand pieces
over the head of the farmer, who was
lying on a couch.
The bolt, stunning his oldest daugh
ter, rendering the younger daughter
' deaf and shocking all in the room, dis
charged itself through the lower por
tion of the house, and a dog which lay
on the floor was killed.
The works of the clock were dam
aged and the wood splintered.
Algeria’s Population.
Algeria has a total population of be
tween 5,000,000 and 6 000,000, of whom
only a little more than 800,000 are of
European origin. The French have
not found it expedient during this war j
to insist upon compulsory military !
service on the part of the native Mo
hammedan population.
CAME TO A SUDDEN FINISH
Intervention of Cyclone Ended Phys
ical Contest Between the "Old
Man” and Sue.
"Never, never, shall I forget how
that ar’ cyclone swooped down on us,”
said the old man. “It was about three
o’clock in the afternoon and me an’
the old woman was hoein’ corn down
thar' by the river. I was ahead of |
her about two hills an’ she hit me on
the heel with her hoe.
“ ‘You did that on purpose to be
mean,’ sez I as 1 turns about.
“‘Yer dratted heels ar’ too long by
a foot,’ sez she, as she bristles up to
me.
“‘Yer another!’ yells I, as i drops
my hoe.
‘‘‘Take it back!’ yells she, as she
spits on her hands and squares ofT.
" 'Never! Sue White, I'm gwine to
swipe the meanness out yo' or die
a-tryin’!’
“ ‘You can’t wallop nuthlj^ olg man.'
"With that,” he continued, "we
clinched and that thar fout was sun
thin' jist awful to see. The corn was
about knee high and 1 reckon we de
stroyed half an acre of it as we
pranced about. Bimeby I gin her a
twist and a flop an’ she went sailin’
and jist then the cyclone busted in on
us from the river. The ole woman
was waitin’ to cum down so's to tackle
me again, when thar’ was a biff—skit!
—skit!—and I never sot eyes on her
again.”
“Was she blown away?” I queried.
"Blowed away like a feather, sir,
while I was flung down and got hold
of a bush. That cyclone made a sweep
over forty miles long and we never
round her mangled remains, even.
Poor old Sue!”
"It must have surprised her?”
“Yes, I think it did. She had her
fingers all spread out to clutch my
ha’r as she cum down, an’ she was
sayin’ as how he’d make a wreck o’ me
when she lighted, and then thar’ cum
i whiff! whiff! and she was gone. She
nust have bin powerfully surprised,
t>ut the Lord's ways ar’ past findin’
nit, an’ supper’ll be ready in about
Ive minits.”—Chicago Daily News.
Negro Minstrelsy Is Dying.
Other nations may have disputed
our claim to the invention of the
Bteamboat and the telegraph, but ne
gro minstrelsy Is as indisputably due
to American inventiveness as the
telephone itself. Here in the United
States it had its humble beginnings;
here it expanded and flourished for
many years; from here it was export
ed to Great Britain, where it estab
lished itself for many seasons; from
here it made sporadic excursions into
France and into Germany; and here
at last it has fallen into a decline and
a degeneracy and a decay which
seem to doom it to a speedy extinc
tion. Its life was little longer than
that vouchsafed to man, three score
years and ten, for it was born in the
fifth decade of the nineteenth century
and in the second decade of the twen
tieth it lingers superfluous on the
stage, with none to do it reverence.—
