Fifteen years ago there was hardly q
town in Western Kansas which did not
show many foundations on which no
superstructures had been erected. The
foundations remained uncovered be-
cause Of the collapse of the boom. Some
Of them were small and shallow, 9th
ers were laid broad and deep. The ele-
ments assailed them all alike. The
rains washed the mortar from between
their bricks and stones. The frosts dis
integrated the bricks and stones them
selves. Foundations which, If built
upon in the ordinary way would have
endured for general tons, fell, In few
years, into such utter ruin that when
good times" returned to Kansas it
was In all cases unsafe, and in many
impossible, to erect buildings upon
them. Only small portions of the ma
terial they contained could be utilized
In the construction of other founda-
lions. Not unlike the fate which these
abandoned foundations suffered Is that
which overtakes the educations which
many uOA aSAuIS III lie SCHOOLS.
Schools and colleges lay but the foun-
dalton Of education. They may lay 1t
broad and deep, but If no superstruc-
ture Is later erected over it the foun-
dalton will quickly fall to pieces. AS
ISOLATION, the mortar that binds the
bricks and stones of the mind togeth-
er, will be washed away in time. Ideas.
which are the minds bricks and stones,
Will crumble and fall apart. A founda
ton without superstructure Is worth
less. 1t has no adaptation to Its en-
Vironment. Nature will not let 1t long
exist. There are thousands of men
and women who have smaller sum
total of knowledge and reasoning
power at 30 or 20 than they had when
they threw aside their school text
books. They have erected for them
selves no intellectual superstructure.
and their intellectual foundation, being
unprotected, has fallen into decay.

"Turnips taste better TO deer than

International Falls at st. Louis
81 know men who make it their
annual custom to plant turnips in the
game country, just so they will be
assured of easy venison in the fall, or
during the summer months, if they
happen to live in the woods them

IF a turnip patch is located in any
district where there are deer, every
deer within that district will visit it
several times a week, the time Of day
they make their visits depending
upon the wariness of the animals and
the nearness Of settlers.
Even after snow falls these visits
are continued, as long as any of the
vegetables are left in the ground.
Until the snow gets too deep you can
see where it is paved away after
night in search after the succulent
roots.

Worlds Work for September. A good
story is told of the new minister OF

a Liberal. He was stumping Alberta
with Patrick Nolan, of Calgary a Con-
sentative. The rival orators spoke at
Ponoka, where nine out of ten of the
farmers are Americans. Afterward
they went to the village hotel, and
mingled with the farmers to overhear
comments on their addresses.
