When Is A Man Old?
"A dread to come to the end of
a year," said a friend to me recent
ly; "it makes me realize I am grow
ing old."
That suggests a question. When
is a man old?
In Shakespeare's time a man was
old at forty, and often invalided
long before that
Sir Walter Scott at fifty-five be
moaned the fact that he was an old
man.
Montaigne retired to his castle at
thirty-eight to spend hi3 declining
years in peace and study.
Dr. Samuel Johnson once remark
ed that at thirty-five a man had
reached his peak, and after that
his course must be downward.
-
Physiologists tell us that in all
mammals except man the period of
life is five times the period of
growth. A dog gets its full growth
in two years, and lives ten; a horse
in five years, and lives twenty-five.
On this basis a man should live
from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty years.
But William James, the great psy
chologist, said that most men are
"old fogies at twenty-five."
He was right. Most men at twenty-five
are satisfied with their jobs.
They have accumulated the little
stock of prejudices that they call
"principles," and closed their minds
to all new ideas: they have ceased
to grow.
The minute a man ceases to
grow no matter what his years
that minute he begins to be old.
On the other hand, the really
great man never grows old.
Bismarck, who died at eighty
three, did his greatest work after
he was seventy.
Titian, the celebrated painter, liv
ed to be forty-nine, painting right
up to the end.
Goethe passed out at eighty-three,
and finished his "Faust" only a few
years earlier; Gladstone took up a
new language when he was seventy;
Commodore Vanderbilt Increased
the mileage of his lines from 120 to
more than 10,000 between his sev
entieth birthday and his death at
eighty-three.
Laplace, the astronomer, was still
at work when death caught up with
him at seventy-eight. He died cry
ing, "What we know is nothing;
what we do not know is Immense."
I suppose that is the real answer
to the question, When is a man old?
Laplace at seventy-eight died
young. He was still unsatisfied, still
growing, still sure that he had a
lot to learn.
As long as a man can keep him
self in that attitude of mind, he is
still young.

FACTS
The basis of all successful busi
ness is facts. The head of one of
the world's greatest corporations
has a sign over the door of his
private office reading: "What are
the facts?"
The difference between leaders
and followers in this world is that
leaders know how to use facts. The
way to begin to prepare for lead
ership is to study facts.
The greatest collection of facts
about the United States, our gov
ernment, industries, business, peo
pie and conditions, is in a book pub
lished annually by the United States
government. It is called "The Sta
tistical Abstract of the United
States." Anyone who wants to be
able to answer any questions of
fact about our nation can get them
all in this book for one dollar sent
to the Public Printer at Washing
ton.
WILLIAMS
The most widely known news
paper man in the world Is probably
Walter Williams. Williams started
life as a printer on a country paper
in Missouri. His education, except
for a few years in the common
schools, came from his newspaper
work, travel and reading. He con
ceived the idea of a college of jour
nalism and In 1908 established the
first school of that kind, at the Uni
versity of Missouri. There are fifty
or so colleges of journalism now, in
different universities, all founded on
the Williams model.
The other day Walter Williams
was made president of the Univer
sity of Missouri. He still retains
the title of Dean of the School of
Journalism. He is the first news
paper man ever to head a great edu
cational institution.
SUGAR
Straw and cottonseed may Boon
sunnlv the world with sugar. Xylose
one of the most widely distributed
organic compounds in nature, is
found in all vegetable fibers. It Is
a sugar which does not produce fat
when eaten. It was 'first discovered
In 1886 and chemists have been
working for 44 years to find a cheap
way to extract it. Up to recently
It cost about a dollar a pound to
get It out of the fibers. Under

the Federal Bureau of Standards
has been engaged In chemical re

The pursuit of whales for their oil
has developed in the past twenty
years to such an extent that inter
national laws for the protection of
these huge beasts are under con
sideration. Aviation has stimulated
the demand for castor oil, which re
mains fluid at low temperatures and
does not carbonize. Cod-liver oil
is in greater demand than ever.
Porpoise oil is used for lubricating
watches. And the oil from cocoa
nuts is used in a thousand ways,
for foods, candies and cosmetics.
One of the newest scientific dis
coveries is a germ which will ex-
tiact the oil from cocoanuts without
ressure, economically and com
pletely.
WELCH
"Nn human hems' in this country
is not his debtor, though millions
have never heard his name."
No greater tribute could be paid
to any man than that phrase which
was applied to Dr. William ri.
Welch of Baltimore, "Dean of Am
erican Medicine," on his eightieth
birthday.
Dr. Welch's great work has been
in starting in this country the meth
ods of medical research into the
cause and prevention of disease and
in leading in the application ot tne
results of research to the practice
of medicine. His especial interest
has been in preventive medicine.
The public health systems of Am
erica owe tneir origin largely io
him. It is because he established
the principle that it is the physi
cian's chief dutv to aid in prevent
ing disease that the world owes him
a debt of gratitude.

W. C. T. U. NOTES
OIL
Oil is the world's most preclou
itv. I nm not thinking es
pecially of petroleum, which Is the
first thing we think of when we say
"oil." Palm oil from interior Air
en. olive oil from the Mediterranean
shores- whale oil from the seven
seas, were articles of international
traffic centuries berore uoiumous.
Today the animal and vegetable
oils are still sought for everywhere
and consumed In larger quantities
than ever before. America has con
tributed corn oil, peanut oil and
cottonseed oil to the list. We pro
duce more linseed oil, from llax
grown in the Northwest, than any
other nation. Florida Is beginning
to produco tung oil, extracted from

When before the senate commit
tee In March, George W. Wicker-
sham, chairman of the Law f-.n-
forcement commission, wsa asked
f the prohibition law is, or can
be enforced, he said It was not De
ng enforced 100 percent, but he
quickly added that one of his "most
competent investigators" naa toia
him that the law Is being enforced
better than any other federal law.1
Some of the drys are worried and
some of the wets are rejoicing over
the Literary Digest poll on prohibi
tion. Dr. Leigh Colvin points out
that 32 states have hold actual legal
referenda on the liquor question
and that 30 of these states have
voted dry. He calls attention to the
fact that while the Digest's presi
dential polls have been fairly ac
curate, its poll on prohibition in
1922 was far from accurate. The
result of, that poll was announced
on the ninth of September. At the
November election following, three
states voted 30 percent higher for
prohibition than the straw vote in
dicated. The straw vote showed
only 35 percent of the people of
California In favor of prohibition
yet in the election prohibition car
ried by 33,000 majority. The straw
vote showed only 44.2 percent of
the people in Ohio in favor of the
enforcement statute, but at that
election the dry majority was 189,-
000.
In five states binding referenda
have been held since 1922. and the
vote for prohibition was 52 percent
higher than the straw vote indica
ted. So, do not get excited about
the strnw vote. As Will Rogers
says, "Walt until you hear from
the United States."
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
I hereby announce myself for the
office of County Commissioner of
Morrow County, subject to the will

party at the May Primaries.

The following disptach from
Washington, D. C, shows the re
sult of the poll taken by the Path
finder, which shows a little different
trend:
"A prohibition poll recently taken
by the Pathfinder, weekly news per
iodical published at Washington, D.
C, Is receiving no publicity in the
wet press. Yet this poll Is far more
representative of a cross section of
American people than the Literary
Digest's. The Pathfinder ballots
went to rural and small town peo
ple In as largo numbers proportion
ately as they did to larger cities.
The Digest poll largely reflects city
sentiment, stronghold of the wets.
