In one of hl stories of farm Ufa In Georgia JmI Chandler Harris tella of a wealthy plunter who wanted a few acrea of original woodland cleared Dear a village In which he lived. Labor was acerce. but he finally Induced a thrift leea fnllow In the village to do the work a man who hod always been boneat, but a kind of dreamer and "ne'er do well." After a few days the men came to hta employer and frankly confessed that ha could not do the work, al though he needed the money. Preaaed for reason he aald that the flrat tree be atartod to cut down waa hollow and occupied by two squirrels, wbo made violent coni()lfilnt at the destruction of their house. The next waa the home of a chipmunk, with a large family, and the third waa occupied by at leant four palre , of jaybirds. "That piece of woodland la a peopled city, throbbing with life,' buwy from morning until night. It contains their homes and famlllee, they here built and lived there for yenr und I have not the heart to destroy what belongs to these helpless creatures." And out of that Incident almple but Impressive aa It waa, Mr. Hnrrla drew Inspiration foi one of the most irraphlc plcturea Id alt literature. II. B. Herman, In th Booth Atlantic Quarterly.

There Is an Intense need for art, and above all for music In the dully lives of our people, and It la through the public schools that the musical re eourcea of the younger generation, al present, lying dormant must be awakened. Why should our girls and boys being educated to be good business men and women be dented develnent of all higher Intellectual and moral aide of their natures? It la here that music most directly exerts Its Influence. To quote the words of Ilnto: "Music i a moral law. It Is the essence Of order, and lends to all that Is good, Just and beautiful." There Is always the possibility, too, that embryo I'attls and Cerasot are amongst our children and these can add aa much to the future fame of our country as orators, poets, writers, or successful business men then let them too, have their choice In school days, as well aa the others. Undersea Pipe Lint for Oil. Tank steamers are loaded with oil on the Mexican coast by means of un dersea pipes, sometimes over a mile long. The record Is broken by two lines each two and one-bnlf mites long, recently' Installed about seventy miles south of Tamplco. This method of load ing ta made necessary by the character of the const In the vicinity of the oil fields. There are no harbors deep enough to accommodate tank vessels, and the water alongshore Is shallow for a mile or more out to sea. The oil plpea lie on the aea bottom and con nection la made with the tank ahlp at the outer end by means of flexible metal hose. The line Is fully connect ed on shore and la then towed out to aea by a tug. Literary Digest About Milestones. Moat people Imagine milestones to be quite ancient Institutions. They are not so really. The flrat mile stones to be erected In England were aet up on the Cambridge road between Barkwsy and Cambridge In 1727, and It waa not until 40 years later that their use became at all general True there are two "milestones," so called, that bear the date 1700, still standing one at Tadcaster, and the other near Wlthlngton, Herefordshire.

By Reducing Consumption People of the United States Averted a Famine at Home In Spite of Lew Supplies. The fact that the people of the United States were able to reduce by more than one-half million tons their July, August September and October consumption of sugar proves conclu sively that their war conscience was thoroughly awakened and that the country as a wbole stood ready to fol low the Injunctions of the Government Our normal consumption of sugar In tbe four-month period beginning with July has been 400.000 tons per month, a tout of 1,600,000 for the quarter year. , In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach Its height consumption waa reduced to 200,000 tone. In Au gust only 825,000 tona went Into dis tribution and in September only 279, 000 tons. In October the distribution fell to 230,000 tons. If .the general public had failed to observe the Injunctions of the Food Administration this country would have been In the throes of a sugar famine before the end of August Our visible supplies were so low as to bring great anxiety to those familiar with the augar situation. Tbey feared that It would be absolutely impossible to reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be a mere lux ury In the American diet. Few accomplishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so pre dominantly as this reduced consump tion of sugar. By It we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency until tbe new beet and Louisiana cane sugar crops were In sight Now the nation la In a position so that If we choose we may return to our normal home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go far afield, can maintain Its recent re stricted rations. If, however, those nations are to Increase their nse of sugar very considerably It must be by our continued sharing with them through limiting our own consump tion. AMERICAN SPIRIT RELIED ON TO WIN. In the light of succeeding events It Is Interesting to locall the confidence with which the Cnlted States Food Administrator viewed tbe gloomy out look In July of t017. when this coun try had been In the war for less than four months and the Germuns were steadily aendlng the western front nearer and nearer to Prris. "Even though the situation In Eu rope may be gloomy todny." he de clared in a public statement "no American who has knowledge of the results already obtained In every di rection need have one atom of fear that democracy will not defend Itself In these Cnlted States." LOYALTY IN LITTLE THINGS LAST PROOF OF PATRIOTISM Americana without murmuring cut their augar allowance from four pounds a month to three and then as long as need be to two pounds for loy alty's sake. Food Will Win the World. America earned the gratitude of al lied nations during war by sharing food. America under peace may win the world'a good will by saving to share.
