Ed Russell came down from his
ranch, handed the postmaster $3.50

evidently knows how to make pay

Our sympathy certainly goes out
to certain poor families who are
obliged to borrow the paper. They
must have it on account Of business
affiliations with the public, but
cannot afford to pay for it as long
as they can borrow.

The RISK TOO GREAT.

Several reports which we have no
ticed recently tell Of very serious acct
dents which befell little girls of ten
years while helping in some of the
farm operations. One had her feet cut
OF through unwisely getting in front
of mower hitched TO nervous horses.
another had an arm frightfully man
gled from getting 1t caught in the reel
OF manure spreader, while n third
girl, somewhat older, lost her life
while driving n team of horses through
a breaking Of the hayfork rope In
view Of accidents of this kind, which
are Of frequent occurrence all over the
country, 1t Is well for the parent to
remember that considerable risk is in
volved in the handling Of most farm
machinery, even for one who Is strong
and experienced, and that the likeli-
hood OF Injury increases many fold
when inexperienced boys and girls take
the mans place. We believe II is right
and proper for children to help in all
ways that they can up to the limit of
their strength and ability and that. as
a rule, they like to do so, but care should
be taken that this work IS not too
heavy for their strength or OF an extra
hazardous nature

THE BOY AND COLLEGE.

At this season of the year, short
time before the schools and colleges OF
the land open for their years work,
there Is many a boy who is debating
the question as to whether IL will be
worth while for him to go TO college.
No wonder that he scratches his head.
for the problem is not an entirely sim
pie one. several factors entering In
and serving TO make an affirmative or
negative decision the wiser one In n
general way it is true that there is
probably no money that n young man
spends that fetches him larger or
more satisfactory return on the amount
invested than that put into getting an
education, and this holds whether it is
along the line of the professions, lib
eral arts. along technical lines or I'm
specialization I'm animal husbandry, ag.
riculture or horticulture. The returns
may not be apparent at once. but the
Increased capacity which the educa-
ton gives will mean an increased sal
airy ms soon as he becomes adjusted in
the work for which he has prepared
himself. There is n never supplied de-
mand these days for young men OF
worth and character who are well
equipped along the lines mentioned.
In view OF the opportunities which are
open, the chief questions to be deter
mined would seem, therefore, to be
those Immediately affecting the boy.
II Is probably fair to say that IL will
pay the boy TO go to college and will
be worth the trouble on the part of the
parents TO send him IL he cares enough
for the opportunities which college life
affords TO work for them. IL he does
not prize them to this extent-this on
the assumption that the entire means
are not at hand TO defray the expenses
or such course-he would probably
do better to stay at home.
There Will be hours I'm the college
life of the lad who is working his way
through school when II will be very

his spare hours when his fellow stu
dents are participating in athletic
sports or otherwise spending their
time in recreation. But this handicap
Is more apparent than real, its harsh
ness mellowing or largely disappear
Ing rs college days recede. In conclu-
sion, 1t is pertinent to suggest that
the financial is not the only point that
should be considered. The college
trained man may or may not acquire
great wealth, but II his training Is
what it ought TO be 1t Will enable
him to get more out of life and put
more into IL for others, as we'll as

How TO Clean Black Lace.

Black lace should not he washed I'M
less it IS decidedly dirty. but should be
well shaken to remove as much dust as
is possible and then dipped i'm sou-
tion Of deep blue gum water. When
the lace has become dirty and brown
ish In color, the best plan is to wash II
In soapsuds and then rinse and stiffen
1t In deep blue water to- which the
gum water has been added. The deep
blue water will help to restore the lace
to Its original black. The lace should
be all rolled In an old cloth for n
short time and then pinned out with
the cloth between it and the sheet. ms
1t imparts blue stain which IT would
be necessary to remove from the sheet.
When the lace is quite dry remove the
pins and place n piece of tissue paper
over 1t. Iron it with the paper be-
tween 1t and the iron. If the iron IS
placed directly on the lace 1t will leave
gloss on 1t which is not pretty and
which stamps It MS washed lace.
