Get the Education.

A young man asks if 1t will be wise
for young farmer to take Il four year
course ut an agricultural college If it
takes all the money he has and leaves
him without funds ut the close. Yes.
You cannot invest the money in any
thing that will pay better than thor
ough professional training. 1t is n capt
tai you cannot lose and which will al
ways bring in the dividends. Get the
education If you have to borrow more
money before you get through. "The
world is always on the hunt for men
with educated minds and trained
hands," and the man with the college
training will always be in the lead.

We are not SO sanguine as some of
our contemporaries that the recent I'm
ported lady beetles from China, which
are said to have cost the government
about 81, 900 apiece, will clean out from
our orchards the notorious San Jose
scale. At the same time we are hope
full that this little natural enemy may
be factor In reducing the ravages of
the pest. Fruit growers should not
place too much confidence in the can
nabalstic propensities of this animal
and should leave nothing undone from
the practical standpoint to protect their
orchards. At the same time, wherever
1t is possible this sort of experimental
ton should be encouraged by fruit
growers and others. 1t is well known
fact that In many cases natural agen-
cies are responsible for the reduction
and suppression of many outbreaks of
destructive insects and other animals.
If the Chinese beetle will live and
thrive In orchards scattered over our
diversified country under the varying
climatic conditions and tend to keep
San Jose scale in check, the price paid
for its introduction will be insignill-
cant as compared with the great bene-
fits derived later.-American Agricul-

Pingpong Fer the Masses.

The POOR are in fashion, too, in q
way. They are playing plngpong on
the pavements of New York. In this
street game no rackets are used, but
the children use the palms of their
hands in their stead. The ball is some
times Il rubber one and sometimes of
celluloid. The balls can be purchased
for l or cents, and that is the COM
plcte cost of the game. White chalk
lines marked on the asphalt pavement
serve as tables, and the game can be
seen almost any clear day in any as

Quack Grass Experience.

This pest fills the soil with its long,
round white roots, crowding und chok-
ing out other vegetation. In some sec
tions 1t Is called couch grass, witch
grass, tucker grass, etc. At an eX-
perience meeting of New York state
farmers the following remedies were
offered:
Plow the land Il few times in sum
mer, not trying to raise any crop for
one season.
Sow buckwheat thickly two years In
succession.
Good, thorough tillage followed by
buckwheat or peas.
Put on sheep enough to keep the
tops gnawed close to the ground.
Fail plowing, not narrowing until
spring This plan killed a part of the
roots.

WAS 1T A CRIME?
Were the Miners of JohnstOvn MUIR
dcred by Corporation Greedr

dcred by Corporation Greedr
Was the horrible slaughter of min
ers ut Johnstown preventable?
Statements are made which, If true,
show that 1t was-that greed and not
unavoidable accident is responsible for
this hideous loss of life.
John Retallick, fire boss, who was
In the mine at the time of the disaster,
says 1t was due to blasting and that
those in authority knew there was dan
ger from tiredamp. In the course of
his narrative Retallick, now in the
hospital says:
"The Klondike mine, especially No.
right, had been in very bad shape for
some time About two months ago 1t
first became noticeable that an extra
amount of gas was collecting, and the
officials of the Cambria Steel COM
pany began to take the utmost precau-
ton"
What was this utmost precautlon"
To stop work at the danger point-the
point at which mems lives were i'm
periled whenever blast went Off?
No.
They talked for awhile of closing It
down, but that was almost impossible"
Why almost impossible2
Because 1t Is one of the best pro-
ducers, and from 1t is secured the
greater part of the daily output of the
mine.''
Fire Boss Retallick, you see, has no
thought of accusing anybody. lie has
worked long in the mines, and 1t seems
natural to him that the mine owners
should hazard human life for the sake
of keeping up the output of zone of the
best producers"
The mine owners knew the peril if
this witness, who does not hold them
blameworthy, is to be credited.
1.-THE mine grew dangerous about a
week ago" he says.
Then they took the utmost precau-
ton" thus:
"At that time 1t was decided that no
novices should be allowed in this sec
ton of the mine Mt all, and the mine
officials selected twelve of the best and
most experienced workmen they had to
operate it. Those men were careful,
but as a general rule you will not find
miner who has the least sense of
fear"
Miners cannot afford to have fear.
Were they always or often thinking of
the chances of death In their hazard
Gus calling they would lose the courage
necessary to follow 1t. But 1t Is the
duty of mine owners not to encourage
this carelessness or take financial ad-
vantage of it at the risk of such hor-
rors as that at Johnstown.
The managers of the Cambria Steel
company's mine seem, according to
Fire Boss Retallick, to have gone fur
beyond even such guilt. He represents
them as being open eyed gamblers In
human life.
One hundred and fifteen men We're
killed in the Johnstown disaster.
If that disaster was preventable, If
the mine managers deliberately sent
the miners into the mine to face condi-
tions which they knew were danger
Gus, a great crime has been committed
1t Is to be hoped that the coroner and
district attorney of Johnstown are men
of courage who are not afraid to do
their duty.
Let the whole truth respecting the
causes of the slaughter of those 115
miners be made known.-New York

THE GREAT yANQUISHER OF ALL
FORMS OF RHEUMATISM.
The Marvellous Cure Of Mrs. Cook Of
Gardner, Kansas.

Rheumatism, terrible in it's acute, and
long enduring in its chronic, form, is
one Of the most baneful diseases that
human beings suffer from. 1t is a dis
ease that will not bear neglect, for if
not treated promptly will remain until
death TO harass, torture, and make life
miserable.
Rheumatism is also Il constitutional
disorder and hereditary. Because of an
inactive condition of the kidneys and
bowels the blood is not purified, and
an acrid poison is formed and deposit
cd in the muscles and joints, and this
causes the inflammation and intense
agonies that thousands are Obliged to
endure. Too often the effects of rheu-
matism are fatal. especially when the
dread disease affects the heart; then
death is sudden. Many other serious
complications result from this terrible
disease such as pneumonia. pleurisy,
meningitis, and diaphragmitis, and
these often prove rapidly fatal.
Racked and tortured reader, what
are you doing to get rid of your danger?
Physicians candidly admit their in
ability to cure, The ordinary medi-
cines of the day may give you relief
for a few hours or days; they cannot
Danish the disease from your blood,
joints, and muscles; they cannot take
the sweliings from your knees, elbows.
or wrists, or make supple the stiffened
and twisted limbs. You cannot longer
afford to experiment; death is the sure
result of experiment and neglect.
Today, your only hope lies in the i'm
mediate use Of DR.. Phelps wonderful
rheumatism banisher-Paines Celery
Compound. This tested and world
famed vanquisher of rheumatism, neu-
ralgia. and other troubles that arise
from impure and poisoned blood, is now
fully recognized by the medical pro-
fession as a positive and unfailing cure.
The following important letter sent by
Mrs. Cook. is but one Of the many thou
sands received from prominent and well
known people in every state of the
Union, who have been cured by Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Cook says
Il was soreIy afflicted with rheuma-
tism some time ago, so much so that
was unable to 60 about the house; I
had to be carried. / tried all kinds Of
medicines and Eniments to no effect.
For months l was helpless, unable to
turn myself in bed, and suffering with
pain which was almost unendurable.
Finally, by chance, | noticed an adver-
tiscment of Paines Celery Compound
and concluded 10 try it. After using
one bottle it seemed to be helping me
and continued to use it until had no
more rheumatic pains. Since then |
have been able to do my Homework.
and have been free from rheumatism"
