Tlie manager of the ReckeTeller In ■tltute for IHdical Research on Sat urday announced a further donation oi $2.550,000 by John D. Rockefeller to that Institute. Thla Rift bring! the sum toial of Mr. Rockefeller'* contributions to the institute up to |IUM,OO<I. This is a liberal finan cial foundation for the support of a corporation designed to perform great services In humanity's behalf. In medical research work this Institute has already secured a great deal of information of value to mankind and Its further researches will Inevitably add tremendously to the knowledge that Is so much needed to overcome the Insidious diseases that undermine human life. The institute is not founded In motives designed to In fluence political thought and action, further than to conserve tho general welfare by disclosing knowledge. In deed, speaking of the devotees of medical science as a whole, while they as citizens take a more or less active interest In politics—like preachers, for lnstuuce—iheir organ izations as such are less addicted to the ‘‘vice" of politics than almost any other organization that seeks to In fluence human conduct and to admin ister to mankind's necessities. ThJ ' bad'' that Rockefeller may have done will twin bo overcome—obliterated, so to speak— by growing Intelltgoncj; but the good that he has made pos Bible to be accomplished will endure forever. JHE GOOD TO COME FROM THE MEXICAN POLICY. We have had a good deal or ocoa alon to queatlon from time to time the wisdom ol Ihe course (pursued by the administration In treating the sit uation in Mexico since It fell to Its lot to deal with it as a herlage from Its predecessor. lW we are glad to ad mit that one good thing is likely to come out of It which could not have been attained by any alternative course that could have been taken. It was not a matter it deliberation or fortnight, and the result almost prov. IdentlaL The circumstances which led to the offer and acceptance of me diation by the South American en voya, between our government and the only semblance of government, In the Mexican republic, opened the door of opportunity for a better under stending between ua and the people of Mexico and of all the Utin-Amerl can countries, which it might othei wise have taken man) years to bring about. A radically new policy has been Instituted In deullng with those nations and it haa been wonderfully advanced within a few months. On both aides of the internal con filet the government of the United States has atill been regarded with •uapiciot.. even by fear and hatred, which It will take long to dispel from the mass of the jteople The course of this administration has been on the side of the people of Mexico as oe pos Ml to the traditional ruling imwer, which has held them down and kept Ihe republic hark politically. The leaders are coming to realise and the people will be made to understand tn timo. If the policy Is continued, that the attitude of the United States has undergone a change, if the Wilson administration firmly twiahliehca r, policy for our government which w ill dispel the fear and suspicion of the 1 attln-Amcrlcan peoples snd bring about relations of amity aud good leellng with those nation* it w IJ be e memorable achievement. THE WAYS OF THRIFT Copyrighted, 3 914,. American Society for Thriit. MILITANCY AGAINST FRAUD. There are militants In England other than the few who have so thor oughly advertised women's suffrage —a far larger, more powerful. Quieter clans. The "rights'' they demanded were unadulterated, clean goods, honest measure and fair prices. For years they have been fighting the high cost of living and they have un deniably come out victorious. For today, while Americans are crying about "hard times" and "high prices" tho dollar of the English co-operator buys proportionately more than it did thirty years ago. The co-operative stores In Oreat Britain und Europe are more In ac cord with onr Ideals of democracy than anything of w'hlch the American peo, le can boast—organizations which thrive by the people Tor the people. In them the producer, man ufacturer, merchant and consumer are all in the same boat, and there the good of one means the good of ail, not in theory hut in money In their pockets. The Co-operative Wholesale Boclety in England, which does a' business greater than any corporation in America with the single exception of the Steel Corporation was organlz.-d primarily in response to the denfand for fair play by the women of the poorer middle classes. These women in various communities got together with their Interests in common and formed guilds. The Women's Oulld today is the power and Hie standard maker for these big co-operative con cerns. They demanded and secured reforms: clean stores with decent sanitation and .plumbing, a clean, moral atmosphere Food on sale now Is covered when the stores are swept out, and they are swept nfton er; food stuff Is protected from flies; a pound of tea is a pound of tea with out extra charge for tinfoil and wrap ping. Meat means meat without the same price being extracted for "trim mings" and hones. Adulterations in fabrics as well as foods are stopped. Cases of graft In the management are promptly dealt with, and educa tional and social advantages are brought within tho reach of people In very moderate circumstances. Tills sounds like a Ctoi lan situs tlon to the American housewife, hut groups of women anywhere can ac complish the same results when they sincerely want them. The American Society for THRIFT Is advocating the formation of organizations which will work along lines similar to the Women's Guild In England, making efforts In behalf oT thrift, education and school gardening. In one state, Illinois, the chairman of the educa tional department of the State Fed eration of Women’s Clubs and the Society for Thrift, are working lolnt ly toward local work under Thrift Committees.

Once upon a time the little red squirrel said he was going over to Farmer Hrown's to get some corn. He had seen the farmer and his men put a lot In one corner of the barn and It looked and smelled so good. Ills mother told him to be very careful and to come hack as soon mh he had eaten all he wanted, lie ran away along side the fence, then hopped on to a branch of a tree and so into the bam. How he did eat and how good it Listed. In one corner was a box he had never seen before and In that was some big kernels of corn. He ran Into It and began to eat but as he did so "snap" went something and when he tried to get out he found that he could not. He was in a trap, and there he must stay. Oh how he wished he could get out. He squeezed as hard as he could to try and get between the bars but It was no use, Soon he heard voices and Fred, the farmer's son, eame In with two other boys. How his little heart did flutter. What were the boys going to do? "Hurrah,” said Fred. "I have caught a squirrel, l.et’s take it Into the house." The cage was put in a sunny window and the boys watched to see what the squirrel would do Poor little squirrel, he was so frightened that he dared not move. After a while however he grew used to seeing the boys and reallz ed that they did not mean to hurt him. Tn the cage was a nice wheel and he would run around and round so fast that you could hariHy see him. Fred brought him nice things to eat and would stroke his soft fur, hut he was homesick and wanted to see his father and mother so much that the Just lay In one cor ner and would not eat. When Farmer Brown saw him he said: "Fred, why don’t you let your pet squirrel go out? llow would you like to he shut up away from your friends? Fred didn’t want to let his pet go but one day he said: "Well, perhaps my squirrel does want to go home." So he opened the door and quick us a flash out hopped the squirrel nnd he ran home as fust as he could. ERA OF THE SOB (Buffalo News.) Congressman Bowdle of Ohio Is the statesman who curried Nicholus l.oryt worth's district, winning by 101 votes because nearly 6,000 of the republi can strength went off Into the pro gressive movement. Mr. Bowdle has the level head of the man who is educated In public schools, learns a trade and shows him self to have capacity for earning a living before ho takes up professional study and turns his attention in thur direction. Mr. Bowdle has ideas of his own, among others, that within twenty-five or thirty yeHis people will be reading about what he calls “Tho Era of the .Great Sob." He declares that the pe |r|oi* between 1910 and 1925 will he marked by sentimentality and gever.l i gush, while societies and clubs of ev ery description ar e formed, each hust ling about producing an appearance of business ami burdening the mails with literature proposing to save society from society's misdeeds. "The cardinal thing of all," says Mr. Bowdle, “Is cash, and with every year tho ery for cash grew louder." (He Is looking hack from 1950.) Hj declares tliHt society has dlsdadncd the theory that a free man from fa free state properly Instructed would be Immune to old world evils and would care for his own redemption, : not only from ignorance, hut from thu results of original sin. Mr. Howdle treats the situation with great earnestness, with no small de gree of humor and yet with profound j sincerity. We do know that sobbing I over crlmlnnls has reached n polnr j whore It Is not uncommon for the con- I vlet to be given dinners and loving cups on leaving the penitentiary and we have seen great petitions sent in so- the pardon of thieves who hap pened to bo very prominent. We do not know that the title of the next chanter In our history will b$ "The Era of the Great Sob.” at Mr. Bowdle predicts, but ther o la enough basis for it to suggest the Idea and make It seem anything but grotesque GREATEST PITCHER ON EARTH Uncle Bam, serving In the capacity of arbitrator on behalf of American fandom, the other day was called upon to de cide "who la the greatest pitcher In latter day baseball?"

"No, Indeed; It’s heaps mo re fui* here at home.” After his partner agreed to join him In buying what looked U> everyone as waste land, but was really^ valuable sand, Tom went down to the village looking for • ht* man that owned it. Tom talked to I ho owner about other things, but final ly ttked him in a casual way what he woii cl take for the land In questm-i. r 'ho mnii laughed, saying: “Aw. that land ain’t m good. What do you want it for?” “Oh i” said Tom “It. might be worth something some day. I have saved up a little money nnd just thought I’d take a chance on It by way of an invest ment.” The man named a very low price and Tom bought it. * * * I* is now two years since Tom bought the sand, and any day you can see a string of tug boats pulling lighters load ed with it into the city to a veady mar ket. Torn made enough out of it to buy DAVID David lived In the country with his mother, who whs -i widow. David helped his mother, and did most of the work about tlie farm. There was no school but the country school, and this was In session only during a few months in the winter. David w-an&d to go to school, but money was scarce, and then someone must care for the farm, so David had made up his mind to say nothing about his ambition to his mother and settled down to farm life. One of the farmers not fur from where David lived decided to take boarders one summer and tie told David he would take all the vegetables he could spare and all the fish he could catch. Not far from where David lived was a big lake, and David would go to the lake to fish early In the morning. At the farm where the boarders were was a boy about David’s age named Cart, who began making fun of hts bare feet and overalls. “Hello, country,” he called. "How much are tutors today? When you set enough taters hope you get a pair of shoes." David dtil not notice thin unkind re mark, and Carl called again: "Better ask mtlgi i,l 'S 1 'in in hi llis kink your ma for a piece of calico to mend youv trousera. You must be a country dude." Even thle did not bring s reply from Havld, and Carl called: "Can t you talk, hayseed ?” David turned around, and wntked to ward Curl, and when he came near enough he said: “You may be from the city, hut you do not know good man ners, and tt seems that a country boy could teach you." David walked away, leaving Carl tor much astonished to reply until David was some distance away. "You can t teach ms anything, hay seed," hs called: "1 can do anything you can, even If I do live In the city." David saw I'arl often, and every time he was hailed bv him as hayseed. David, however, kept lile temper, although It was very hard at times lls mother did the washing for the boarders and the fear that his mother might loss the work she did kepi David from saying and doing what he felt like many timea. One morning, however, he had re venue David went to the lake fishing very early, and lust ss he was casting his line he saw tStrl coming toward him 'Hello, hayseed’" he called, “catching tny breakfast?" David did not reply, and Carl called again. "I sav hayseed, arc you catching nv ireukfast f “If you exiect me to answer you." re piled David ."you will have to sp ak to his half interest in the contracting busi ness and now has a nice little home nearly paid for, all because he saw and made use of an article other people had seen and cerelessiy walked over every j day. without using their eyes and brains.

So. when some one else comes along and gets it, don't sit back and bemoan your fate, saying , how lucky the other fellow is. * * * Most any fair day now you can see Jennie romping on the lawn with a lit- j tie girl by the name of Betty, and a ■ “young man” child toddles close by. And when Tom says, “Shall we go into town tonight and take a w'hirl at the ‘white lights’?” if you listen closely you can hear Jennie say: “No. lndeedy; it’s heaps more fun right here at home.”—H. C. j THE END me In a different manner." "Oh, my, aren't we stuck up, though?' said Carl, coming close to l'avld. "1 say, hayseed, you haven't the spunk of a babbit.” Curl gave David a pusii as he passed and David reached out and grabbed hhu by the arm. Carl's push had sent David close tn the edge of the lake, and as he grubbed Carl both boys went into the water. David could swim like a fish and, Ihi nking Carl could, climbed up the bank. When he looked back he saw Carl dis appear under the water, and then h; realized that Carl was in danger. Quick ns he could David swum to the place where Car; had disappeared and caught him by the hair. It was a mat ter) of minutes to get Carl out of the lake. David laid him on the bank and rubbed him and In a few minutes Carl opened Ills eyes. "You are alf right.” said David; "you were frightened, that Is all that alls you." * David Avent back to his fishing nnd after awhlls Carl got up and came ovsr to him. "I pushed you frst," he said, “or you would not have touched me. I guess. I thought it would be great fun to see you in the water. 1 did not know you could swim." "Do you mean to say that you pushed me. thinking 1 did not know how to swim?" asked David. "Well, you are meaner than I thought you were; but It was a good thing for you I did know how, oY you would tje at the bottom of the lake now.” •'I know It,” replied Carl, “and I see how had I really was. But I thougnt country l>oys were Just stupid fellows and didn't know anything but how to work on the farm. "I am sorry for all tlie things I have said nn<l I wisli you would forgive me. 1 did not think you might drown when I pushed you. I don't know how I can thank you for caving my life." "Ohl that Is all right," said David. "You drop the hayseed and w# will call it squared." Cavl did drop hayseed and the boys became great friends. Before the sum mer was over Cart could swim as wet! as David, and when Carl left for the city tils father had made It possible for l'avld to go to the village school. "If It had not been for that ducking you gave me,” said Dsvld some years iater. T never should have had an edu cation." "If you hadn't shown me what a mean boy I was," replied Carl, "I navi* should have become a decent man." (Copyright, 19H, by the McClure News paper Syndicate, New York City.)
