This is the season of the year when
you are likely to hear the street car
conductor and a young chap IN very
dusty working clothes discussing with
intimate touch the doings in the inter-
collegiate world and you need not mar
vel if you notice a Greek letter pin on
the coat of the young man who rustles
your baggage on the wharf at the sum.
mer resort.
1t is the period when the boys who
are putting themselves through col
lege" get out and hustle for the where
withal to settle next years expenses
and you will find under grads and just
grads in almost any position which
offers fairly remunerative employment
for the summer months. This summer
employment Of college men-and COL
lege women too furnishes the motif
for many a gOod-humOred jest, but at
the same time when seriously cOnsid-
cred it affords an interesting sidelight
on American college life. Some people
have an idea that the note of serious
educational application has been lack
ing i'm these latter college years, but a
tabulation Of college men at work
through July and August the country
over would go far to disprOve such a
belief The Maine hay fields will offer
muscular training to many a college
athlete and the farm will send him
back in the fall with calouSed spots
which will last him well into the fall
| term.
There is a great change from lhe
rah -rah of the athletic field to the seri-
BUSINESS of everyday dollar getting, out
the fact that 50 many American college
boys make the shift every season and
give good, honest service to those who
employ them shows that underneath
the scholastic effervescence of the pres
ent day college man there is the same
earnest perseverance that marked the
educational progress of his father and
grandfather. It's an evidence of good
democratic Americanism in the MAX

Col. Henry Watterson wakes wroth
at the report that Judge Alton b.
Parker had been selected to present
resolutions at the Denver convention
on former President Cleveland's death.
He expresses himself upon the matter
in the following vigorous terms:
The attempt to drag the dead body
of Grover Cleveland from its new
made grave into the tumult of ma
tional convention will deceive no one.
An invasion of the grief of the noble
lady who wecps amid the silence and
the solitude of the granite hills, a
blow at party concord, it is the act Of
shameless hypocrites. Nor was ever
professional ghoul inspired by a
more mercenary spirit because the
sole aim and end of the Murphy-Con-
nors crowd, aided by Judge Parker, is
the perpetuation of the ascendancy of
the Belmont combination, to
which Democracy owes it's last igno-
minious and well-deserved defeat. 1t
was Belmont Ryan money that
financed Judge Parker's campaign for
the nomination in 1904; it was Bel
mont Ryan money that nominated
him, and it was the BelmontRyan tag
that made an antitrust Government
under such a brand absurd and i'm
possible.
1t is interesting to recall, in connec-
ton with this statement by Col. Wat
terson, that s35 900 of the money In
opcction was contributed to the Demo-
cratic campaign in Maine.

United States Government Seeks To
 Interest Farmers In Its Cultivation.

United states government Seeks To
 Interest Farmers In Its Cultivation.
 An increasing demand for chicory as a coffee addition has caused the United States government to make special ef- fort to induce American farmers to grow the plant (See Bulletin l9, U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture.)
 Chicory is root grown something like the beet or carrot and has been used as a food in various ways for centuries.
 More than @ hundred years ago during the Nepoleonic wars the continent of Europe was cut off from the outside world, and coffee, of which the Dutch in particular are very fond, became scarce and high in price.
 It was found that the chicory root, dried. roasted and ground, made a most excellent substitute. Soon many were drinking it entirely, while others mixed 1t with a certain proportion of genuine coffee.
 These people found that 1t gave the coffee richer fuller flavor, and that the injurious effects which pure coffee has on many were entirely overcome.
 Since then chicory has been exten- sively used by coffee merchants and the preparation of 1t as an addition to cof- fee has become a large business, giv- ing employment to thousands of men. Many large factories in Europe and sev- eral in America are manufacturing thou sands of tons annually.
 Being as necessary an addition to cof- fee as salt Is to soup, chicory has come into great demand. and to supply this demand the government is interesting it. self. It promises an entirely new and profitable field of endeavor for the Amer ican farmer.

ENGLAND'S NAVY TO
 EXCEL ALL OTHERS

London March 18.-Speaking in the House of Lords this evening. Lord Tweedmouth, first lord of the admiralty defended the policy of the government in refraining temporarily from laying down a large number of battleships and said that the construction of battleships just now partool largely of the nature of an experiment.
 The three vessels of the Temararie type. he declared, were infinitely superior to the Dreadnaught type and the three vessels of the St. Vincent type would be an improvement on the Temararie type. In the spring of 1911, Great Britain would have three squadrons of four ships each of the St. Vincent type. No power in the world would be able to assemble such a fleet of first class battleships, Lord Tweedmouth declared, and he could almost say that a combination of all the powers of the world would not be able to put an equal squadron on the sea.
