When people began assembling intoc6mmunities, the direct exchange of service became more complex and many different forms of money came Into existence. Civilization brought al>out finch a great concentration of people that highly standardized money was developed to enable them to trade. Indirectly and to store up excess service for the proverbial "rainy day." Every cjvillzed nation In the world iifeg a standard monetary system and its worth in the world markets Is solely dependent upon the ability of the particular, nation to collect, in the form of taxes, a sufficient portion -of the services of its people tot meet It* obligations. ; ; ; ^ Money is the product of service and therefore has no basic control over the economic status of the country, Prosperity or depression merely reflects1 the amount of the demand "-of the public for service, and the .-oaQney power of the ^^tlop ac^usti ftafeif ;to. the. demand. : "'•••'••. ;"'• - - .-" ; i One yardstick c?in .tneasure many bolts of cloth and one dollar can measure much service.'

Insects and Man Do Not See Colors Just Alike Just as there are sounds which Insects make but human beings cannot hear, so we are told, there are colors which Insects, but not humijn beings, can see. These colors, declares a writer In the Detroit Free Press, lie chiefly In the ultra-violet range of the spectrum. Some experiments which the American Museum of Natural History made disclose that a garden of flowers appears very: different to Insects than to mankind. Pink, yellow and red portulacas, for Instance, become strongly ultra-violet In color. Pink and yellow zinnias retain their customary shade. But many other flowers show changes when viewed through catrteras attuned to -ifisect sensitivity. If this Is so, what becomes of Darwin's theory that color Is a camouflage for Insects? A yellow spider perched on a yellow zinnia might be invisible to Its victims, but on a yellow portulaca it tfould be as conspicuous as a signboard. Darwin's speculations were based on the assumption that insects see the world In the colors we do. In the light of evidence that this Is not so, perhaps a reexamination is. called for. Chin*** and Japan*** Chitiese civilization and culture Is several thousands of years older than that of. Japan and, In addition, the Chinese have shown themselves to have an Initiative and creative power superior to that of the Japanese, whose facility in methods and adaptation, in turn, is superior to that of the Chinese. Artiflaa of Eidunp At the very earliest time of which there Is record, and in remote places Tn later times, the principal article of export, by common consent and practice. was used as a third element or medium of exchange. Then anyone having articles of commerce for exchange would first exchange them for the article used as a medium of exchange for the article desired. Almost every stable article of commerce has at one time or another been used as such medium of exchange; as cattle in ancient Greece, Home and other countries; Iron in Koine and other ancient and some medieval countries and, until quite recently, in Japan; tobacco in the colony of Virginia; wheat and other grains In many agricultural states; lead and tin at times, and copper, silver, and gold almost universally from ancient time to the present day. Iron bars are still used In trading with the. natives in Central Africa. Fanatic Says He Was Told by God to Choke Them. Seattle.--A strange case of religious fanaticism was revealed In the double slaying of two young boys whose* father confessed that lie had been "told by God" to kill them. The police charged the father,.Oscar I lest ties, forty-three, unemployed paint er, with, murder in choking his sons, John, nine, and Henry, five, to death. The bodies,' with the throats bruised, were found on a bedroom floor of the. llestnes home at ISallard,near here. The father, for whom n sanity test was planned. Insisted, the police said, that he had been directed to kill the children "because they had the devil in them." . ' • John was killed on n Thursday, according to the • confession. The parents and Henry spent the night on the kitchen floor around the body. ."Friday the Lord told me to take the body and put It In a closet," the fa ther'8 confession read. "Saturday I thought the younger boy had the devil In him, too, so I strangled him," During the recital a train whistled in a distance. . ' "That isn't a1,whittle," Hestnes cried. "That is the Lord speaking." The theft of a minister's automobile led to the discovery. Rev. O. L. Haavik, pastor of the Ballard First Lutheran church, decided to look after the welfare of the children after Hestnes and his wife had been Jailed for Stealing the clergyman's car. The pastor found the bodies, "fully clothed. In the bedroom. The police discovered a note on a table Indicating that the parents had planned to flee. Neighbors said that Hestnes had been acting strangely in recent weeks. Adequate Shelter - ! to Save the Feed •>; '1"'~ Live Stock Quarters Should Be Suitable; Can Be Built of Straw. By A. I'OMT<*R, AKHI'UI IUIBI RtlKfftMrhMI Dipt.-, unlvctxiiy nt -Illinois.-'. ' WNt; Hflrvlri!. As crop product ion IK adjusted closer iind closer to domestic needs, 'here will be less feed to waste, and this means that the $|;«»,00<MM»0 worth of live stock on farms will huve to be given adequate shelter. Poorly sheltered stock cannot make the most of the feed It eats. Then, too, there Is the added wuste and spoilage that comes when live .-stock feed Jlng iii done without, proper protection. This-Is especially lufportant because all feed errtps wefe.poor. Further more, the trend now I* toward the ad Justmenk inMilve stock production, us weir a» of crops. If farmers are to; conserve what live.stock they do pro ilin e arid put higher qua I I t y products oil the,market, they.cannot neglect the sheltering, of their animals. ' Home., shelter can be provided with nothing niorc .than a straw pile In' the feed lot. , .It breaks the wind and fur iilshcs some overhead shelter during driving storms. Better than the straw pile Is the straw shed, which may be built at a small outlay of ' time. Forked poles cut froin timber and set as posts will support poles, brush and straw for a straw shed. White such sheds are not permanent, they should last for two years and may be rebuilt easily. The s&vlng In manure will ban pay for the time In build Then there Is the open shed which Is open to the south and east. Tills pvrmlts live stock the freedom", to come and go as It pleases. By the Use of plenty...-'Of'"tilraw, these open sheds can be made an excellent shelter for the feed bunks. They keep the feed dry until it Is eaten atid sate cou siderable spoilage and wind loss. \ pear better posted on the matter are of the opinion that a satisfactory agreement will be reached between the milk board and distributor? before the present contract expires. Bower Birds of New Guinea It is the custom of the bower birds of New Guinea to build elaborately constructed bowers of grass, adorned with bright berries and fruits, in which the males perform their love dances before the females of their choice. Such a bower is to be se«>n at the Field Museum of Natural History In Chicago as a setting for a pair of bower birds posed in courting attitudes. Ia their native habitat these birds do not entirely abandon their bowers after they have set up housekeeping in a nearby tree. The males continue to use them as playrooms when they are in frolicsome mood. Boy, 4, Rescues Girl, 4, From Forbidden Pool Matjuoketu, Iowa.--Kenneth Iteid, four, already has learned something about the ephemeral qualities of be; ing a hero. When Virginia Faye Ferguson, also four, plunged head first Into a fish pond, Kenneth seized her protruding legs and screamed for help. Virginia couldn't Her head was under water. She kicked, but Kenneth held on and finally was assisted in hauling the dripping little girl from the wuter. Virginia Faye then commenced to cry--not because she was afraid of, water, but she suddenly remembered she had been forbidden to play near the pool. She streaked for home, but when she arrived, told her parents that Kenneth and the other boys poured a cupful of water on her. After wrapping her in warm blankets and putting her to bed, her parents learned the true story. ? Bull Needs Good Yard and Some Playthings "The old saying, 'A bull is a neces , Sary nuisance,' need not be true If a farmer has a safe bull yard and breed ing stall," says Prof. A. M. Goodman of the New York State College of Agriculture. A good bull-yard will confine the bull safely and provide shelter from bad weather; it will keep the bull strong and virile by allowing him a chance for exercise-j it will facilitate herd breeding. • , The yard should be constructed of good posts, nine feet long, set in the ground three feet and extending abovethe ground six feet. Hough planks, poles, or other strong, cheap material should be used for the fence, which should be spiked to the posts on the inside, or the side next to the bull. A breeding rack In a good breeding stall, the entrance of which Is controlled by a gate, is of vital Importance. *A bull will take more exercise If he Is given something to play with," suggests Professor Goodman. A keg, a log, or a steel drum, he says, will encourage the bull to move about. Or place a strong post six feet tall In the middle of the yard and to the top of this fasten a chain about two feet long. To the lower end of the chain fasten a keg or old milk can. The bull will play with this by the hoar. These Men Had Money to Burn A Desert That Will Remaia There is one desert In Arabia which "bids fair to remain forever Impreg- . nable--a real desert this, a literally Infernal waste, as-arid as a floor of granite, as hot as a furnace blast, as dreary as a cemetery of the W'ahhabis. a desert of agony for man and beast. It is that region .of volcanic drift 800 feet above the sea and about 8,000 miles square. In the Hejaz, southwest of Jebel Shammar.

Mo.--Thomas George Pasha, who says he is^an Egyptian and has a flair for the show business, agreed to be burled an hour in order to test certain theories of after-life. But O. C. Murphy, commissioner of sanitation and Inspection, has doubts as to the state after death and many convictions as to burials. His Job is to see that no unauthorized burials take place. Pasha's hour underground was nearly up when Murphy appeared. "Get him out; he didn't take out a permit," said the commissioner. Then he recalled that nobody In Kansas City may operate as an undertaker without a license and 4'asha had none. "But it was my own funeral/' said Pasha. Judge Holland was unimpressed and lined him $25 for each offense. Ifo Mid Mrs. Louis Althof: ittl Tamily of McHenry spent Sunday afternoon with MT. and Mrs. William Alt hoff. Mi*.

TIM' first use of the word "mother" is not known. Grain for Dairy Animals The right amount of grain to feed dairy animals during the winter, months depends,upon the amount of milk the animal is producing and to a lesser extent upon the breed, according to one authority. With Jersey animals producing less than ten pounds of milk no grain, should be fed. Where the production is above ten pounds six-tenths of a pound of grain should be added to the ration for each pound of milk produced in excess of the ten pounds. The grain supplement Is reduced about one-tenth from this amount for Guernseys producing more than 12 pounds a day, and one-fourth for Holsteins producing 16; pounds a day. The grain ration of course is dependent upon a plentiful supply of good legume hay, otherwise the grain ration will have to be Increased. A LETTER FROM Representative LYONS Gibraltar Gibraltar, the strongest fortress in the world, resembles a huge, crouching Hon.

Preparing for Windbreaks Farmers Intending to plant young trees In windbreaks and shelter belts on their farms next spring can do much to insure the success of their plantings by fallowing the ground where the trees are to be planted, for the remainder of the season. This suggestion is made by It. E. Ford, assistant In the forestry department of the Colorado Agricultural college. It is recommended that the soil be listed in the plains region so it will collect and hold moisture for the use of trees, and at the same time provide a check against soil blowing. Trees planted in newly plowed ground or sod usually do hot do well, it Is stated.
