proves its value, for it works,
at least better than any other
political system, so far as the
welfare of each and every
unit of society is concerned.
At any rate this is true of
democracy in theory. If it
doesn't work well in practice,
the reason is to be found in
the fact that in our practices
we have deviated from the
theory.
For Christians, however,
the idea of democracy finds
additional support in revealed
religion. The Christian doc-
trine of the incarnation holds
that in Jesus Christ we dis-
cover not only what Cod is,
hut also what man ought to
be. It proclaims our kinship
with God, therefore the dig-
nity of our human person-
ality. If we are made in the
image of God, our humanity
has its measure of infinite
worth.
This is enough of theology
for the present. There are
two very practical considera-
tions which follow from these
basic truths. We are destined
for greater ends than we
have reached. What these
ends may be in terms of our
social structure, we must la-
\antes in civilization have
come because of lonely voices
crying in the wilderness a
message which was new and
sometimes strange. It is
foolish to hermetically seal
our minds.
A second fact is the real
identity of the interest of the
several units of society. No
social system is good for one
unless it is also good for all.
Theories must be tested not
by their effect upon one class
but by their value for the
common weal. The tempo-
rary sacrifice of the one may
be the necessary- prelude to
the welfare of the whole. No
one argues the propriety of
calling upon our men in uni-
form to make a sacrifice of
their personal preferences, of
their immediate profit, or of
their safety and security. In
our will to democracy we
civilians must respond with
equal sincerity and good will.
The end is worth the price.

mally, the pancreas, an organ j
emptying Into the intestines,
gives off a product called in-
sulin at just the right time
during digestion. Insulin
causes the body to “burn"
sugars and turn them into
"steam,” or muscle energy.
Without insulin the body
cannot untilize the sugar and
much energy is lost.
To make up for this defi-
ciency, more food is needed,
and the individual becomes
excessively hungry and
thirsty. The sugar, which is
not burned in the digestive
processes of the diabetic, as
it is in the normal person,
produces an abnormal amount
of water which must be
passed. When the physician
makes his examination, he
finds excess sugar in the
urine and in the blood. The
diabetic is also apt to be
weak and to suffer loss of
weight.
Insulin the Modern Magic
One of the four major
medical discoveries of the
20th century was insulin.
The discovery was announced
in Toronto in 1921. Now in-
sulin may he bought and,
with a hypodermic, injected
into the diabetic individual
| by himself once a day to re-
| place the insulin his pancreas
fails to manufacture and re-
lease.
Mass Production Did It
Twenty years ago an aver-
age dose of insulin cost about
$12.50 a week—too expensive
for many diabetics. The great
change that has brought the
cost of this life-sanving drug
down to not more than 10
cents a day illustrates a
phase of American life that
we often overlook because we
are so used to it.
It is one thing to discover
in the laboratory that the
human body needs insulin to
live, and, also, how to make
insulin. It is something else
again to be able to make it
avai lable everywhere at
prices people can easily af-
ford to pay.
But that is just what the
drug industry has accom-
plished with insulin, as with
so many other drugs and
products that have raised our
standard of living above all
other peoples in the world.
Mass production of insulin
by American industry is ac-
tually bringing life, hope,
and happiness to thousands of
American homes today—tru-
ly a modem medical miracle.

in 30 years of tests of soy-
heuna at thp different exneri-
ment stations in the state,
supported by the experience
of fanners, the soybean has
a very limited adaptation in
Texas. It has produced fairly
good yields the last two or
three years in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley on irrigated
lands when planted for late
fall harvesting. It has pro-
duced some lair, but incon-
sistent yields from year to
year in parts of northwest
Texas. Your estimate of 457
pounds of soybean meal per
acre must have been based on
the yields from a few of
these best fields and not on
the behavior of the crop over
the state as a whole.
The peanut is decidedly
more limited in its adapta-
tion to soil for the production
of protein meal and oil than
is cotton. It is adapted pri-
marily to the sandier soils
and not to the heavy clay
soils, of which latter there
are many millions of acrep in
Texas.
You can see therefore that
a comparison of the acre pro-
duction of protein feed from
soybeans, peanuts, and cotton
in Texas, based on the fig-
ures you cite, is erroneous in
its implications and if ac-
cepted would result in disas-
trously low protein produc-
tion, and we would be faced
with even greater shortages
of protein than at the pres-
ent time, and the shortage is
critical now. What effect
would such further shortages
of protein have upon our war
needs?

Writes AAA About
Soybean Program
Office of the Director,
Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, A. and M. Col-
lege of Texas, February 25,
1913. Mr. George Slaughter,
State AAA Chairman, U. S.
Department of Agriculture,
College Station, Texas. Dear
Mr. Slaughter: Referring to
your press release entitled
“Farmers E n c ouraged to
Meet War Goals,” which ap-
peared in the Bryan Eagle on
February 18 and no doubt in
other state papers, I want to
call attention to what I be-1
lieve to be some misleading
statements, which, if follow-
ed, can in my judgment re-
sult in losses to individual
farmers and losses to the
whole war effort.
You state that in Texas j
soybeans will produce 457,
pounds of meal per acre, pea-
nut! 203 pounds of meal per
acre, while cotton will pro-
duce only 153 (founds of meal
have to be supplemented by
additional protein to make
them a balanced ration. In
other words, no matter how
much corn or milo a farmer
may have, he must supple-
ment it with protein to feed
it economically. Therefore,
the implications in this ref-
erence can serve no purpose
as I see it other than to mis-
lead the farmer.
I realize that if farmers
are limited in cotton acreage
to 40 per cent of their culti-
vated lands they cannot be
expected to increase the total
amount of protein from cot-
ton, but since cotton is no-
tably the vegetable protein
producing crop in Texas, if
the war needs require a much
larger quantity of protein
feed than we now have for
the production of beef, pork,
milk, and poultry products to
feed our armies, our allies,
and thp Hvil populations here
and elsewhere, then it would
seem to me to be obvious that
we are following the wrong
course in trying to force the
production of the 240,000
needed additional tons here
in Texas from soybeans and
peanuts alone when we have
at our command in cotton a
crop which can produce this
protein. The question is,
low important is it that we
lave this protein to produce
livestock? Can we further
cut down our supplies of meat
and dairy and poultry pro-
ducts and yet meet our com-
mitments to our fighting
forces, our allies, and our
own population?

to result in even more acute
shortage of protein than we
are now experiencing?! We
can lose the war by failure to
supply the necessary food
products just because we
want to avoid increasing the
stockpiles of cotton lint. Ia
it good judgment or good
sense to take such a chance X
Very sincerely yours,
A. B. Connor, Director.

Never before has the need
been so great for the Ameri-
can Red Cross. This year it
will reach into the battle
fronts and into the countries
where the sick and suffering
lie helpless. To operate thi*
great institution through the
coming year $125,000,000
will be required, a small
amount compar'd with the
huge sums invested in the
tools of war.
Let us be thankful that we
nave such an organization,
for while it is necessary that
the forces of evil be put
down, the purpose of the Red
Cross is to relieve the unfor-
tunate and to spread the doc-
trine of a human democracy,
throughout the world with-
out regard to race, color, or
religious belief.
