There once was a girl in New Haven,

. In his College Training and the Busi-
ness Man President Charles F.. Thwing
Of Ade1bert college announces his pur-
pose to be to present the advantage
which banking, transportation and in
surance, which no one calls learned
may receive from the college. The oDln-
ions Of representative men in each Of the
three branches are given. Typical and
very sane, it seems to this chair, is the
following by Marvin Hughitt president
of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway
company:
: Whether it be to the disadvantage Of young,
man to devote the time necessary in obtaining
college education in preference to going at once
into railroad or other work, depends TO very
great degree, II not wholly, upon the makeup Of
the young And in the consideration Of
the advisability Of the one course or the other.
this question Of the kind Of timber young
man may be becomes most important factor
in my judgment In reaching a conclusion, con-
sidered both with regard to his school life and
to his discharge Of the duties pertaining to
whatever line Of work he may undertake; for
one young mans mental equipment may be such.

The conclusion OF the author as based
upon the opinions Of business men and his
own observation Isl that a college training
not only fits the graduate to become a bet
ter business man, but makes him a better
man. 80 -.

Seeding in May.

The; crop reports furnish us with
abundant evidence that this spring has
not been merely "cold feeling
spring. Mature is varying her dates a
little this year. Here it is almost May
1 and the crop reporters are telling
us how seeding Is partly done in
southern Minnesota and scarcely be-
gun in the northern part Of the state
It will be a queer season for Mime
sofa when the wheat fields are not
seeded before May /. In Manitoba
they do not usually expect to get their
seeding done or even fairly started
before May 1, but here we should be
at least two weeks earlier. - :, ~.
So far as time for maturity Of the
crop is concerned there is plenty OF
time between May and Sept L, but
with the seed put into the ground Sc
late, there will be room for much ap.
prehension as to the effect unfavorable
weather during June and July may
have on the growing crops. On sthe
other hand, it may turn out that the
late9start- will just fit in with weather
conditions later in the season, with
the result of a bumper crop.

A Shot at EckeIs.


The Bank Clerks association Of Minns-
apolis must have been highly edited Satur-
day evening by the address Of that disE
ttnguished Cleveland democrat and ex-s
controller OF the currency, the Honorable
James H. Eckels Of Chicago. I wonder if
there was bank clerk at the meeting so
Ignorant that he could not have told Mr.
Eckels in reply to the latterss inquiry:
why a. city could not engage in the
sale of dry goods and groceries just as
legttimately> as in the conduct Of street
railways and gas plants that the one
kind OF business was essentially private
because any man can engage, in 1t who, has
sufficient capital while the other is just
as essentially public business since it in
wolves the monopolistic use of public prop
erty--the streets or alleys Of the city.
I wish to thank r he Journa for its
intelligent criticism of Mr.. Eckels speech
There are doubtless honest and intelligent
DIRECTORS to municipal ownership proposi-
tions, but when a public man like Mr..
Eckels classes street railways and gas
plants with dry goods and groceries, or
insists that the demand for municipal

alton by the state is $40, oO0 by the United

$22,317.75.

part Of the veterans pension is not taken
from him. The report says: There are

pension, $9.41 month" The veteran is

Tell Her So.

If you love your wife let her know
it now and then by acts and words Of
praise and kindness. Don't wait un-
Til she is sick or dying to bring the
fact to her notice. If your wife has
an instrument, ask her to play for
you sometimes, and sit by and turn
the leaves and when finished thank
her. You were not backward to con-
fess your love once. You did not
think it silly or sensual to do SO then.
Why should it be so now? Go home
sometimes and press kiss upon her
lips as tenderly as you were wont to
do in your lover days and see il the
tell-tale blood don't rush to her cheek
and happy tears to her eyes. We
wonder how many wives there are in
our land today that have not heard
their husbands say for score of years
4 love you." Oh, we know that
there are some who hunger for love
tokens. Husbands if you have
happy home keep the foundation of
your love pure and sweet. She left
all to join her destiny with yours, to
make your home happyIand meet your
wishes. So treat your wife with the
tenderness you were won't to treat
her in the days you sought to win
her for your own. You may have
forgotten the past. but she has not.
Maybe she is wearing out her life
to make your home cozy and COM
Portable and pleasant for you. Let
her know sometimes you appreciate
her services. Think Of the manly
tenderness that in youth gained her
affections. Her charms may not be
so great as then, but remember the
little acts of kindness that ought to
have strengthened your friendship.
A true wife wishes to feel sure she is
precious to her huSDand, not uSelul
and convenient, but dear. Your
wife will stand by you through storm
and sunshine, if you will let her.
We say to you, husbands, love your
wives as you love yourself, continue
through life the same. Take this as
your part and do better. Do not
wait until it is too late. Give. kind
words while they are"
