"a COLLEGE EDUCATION THAT is
WORTH THE MONEY"

In the next two or three weeks the
boy who is going away to school, If 1t
has not already been decided, will set
tie upon what school he is going to at
tend. Probably the family have de-
voted considerable time to discussing
that question now. That Is right, be
cause going through college is a big
job In itself. if proper returns are
realized on the investment. Some
boys make success of going to col
lege, and others make an absolute fail
ure. There is probably the same per-
centage Of successes and failures in q
matter of getting college education
as there is in any other line of bust.
ness.
It seems to us that it is mistake
to send boy, who has never had a
job at which he had to work, to col.
lege., He should have been at some
employment that has developed the
cogs of judgment to some extent in
his mind-he should have had to como
in contact and combat with enough
different phases of life to form in his
mind some idea of the affirmative. and
the negative-some idea of decision
as to what he should or should not
do.
If young man is going to work the
rest Of his life after he comes out of
college, why should he not work a
Nttle before he goes into college /?

ceedingly little to do with the cost
of living in the United States. The
United States Is the great granary Of
the world and has more food pro-
ducts to sell in excess of the demands
of the home market than any other
country.
II we look abroad for sources of sup
ply at cheaper rates than those pre-
vailing in our own country 1t is i'm
possible to see any land from which
supplies could be drawn to feed
Americans at less cost than is paid
our own fellow citizens. The farmers
of our country are surely not going to
accept less prices than are offered the
farmers Of Argentine, for instance, or
Russia or Hungary or Egypt, or India,
or Australia, or Canada. The export
price Is not below the domestic price.
The theory that domestic prices are
put up close to the level of the amount
of duty exacted on the imports of for
eign goods is disproved completely in
food schedules at least. Yet the dis
proof is scarcely ever published by
freetrade newspapers and seldom ad-
mitted by freetraders themselves. Lit
tie recognition is given the probable
truth that the influx Of gold has
caused general increase in the level
of prices all over the world, and too
little credit for the cost Of living is
given to the demand Of the civilized
nations for higher scale Of living
than used to be satisfactory to such
peoples.
Whether these things be true or not
it is certain that those who look for
the cutting down Of prices Of staples
of living because the tariff is lowered
in any particular direction are proba-
bly, destined to find out the mistake in
their belief that the cost of living is af-
fected very much one way or the other
by rates of duties on foreign goods i'm

THE COUNTRY CLUB.

The Ottumwa Country club Is enjoy
Ing the most successful season In It's
existence. Young and old are taking
advantage of the golf links, the tennis
courts and the social privileges. W

outdoor life that is being felt the coun-

come an institution In the land, and II

be the most invigorating and health
full of all outdoor exercise and amuse-
ment. The springy turf soothes the
tired nerves, furnishes food for the de-
yelopment of muscle and invigorates
the mental faculties. The country
club is a camp at ones very door,
camp where some Of the not too
burdensome conventionalities are re-
tanned, but where life and health are
drunk in with the pure and fresh air,
and from which the worker returns
with stronger limbs and cleaner brain.
Where the Country club fills It's
greatest function is in inducing the
middle aged and the old to go In for
healthful exercise. In this country
there is disposition to buckle down

is THIS A DEcADENT NATloN7

Every few days tits announced that
this government or that government
has gone to France to secure a big
loan for railway building, internal i'm
provements or military purposes. Bor-
rowers Of all sorts and from all climes
go to France, and If the security they
show is reasonable they can get their
money with little trouble. During the
last two years the French have made
foreign loans to the amount of $780,
100000, the bulk of which has gone
to national and municipal govern
ments abroad.
At present many nations are seek
ing loans in France, and the chances
are they will be given what they
want.
Brazil is now seeking a small loan
Of forty million francs in Paris, with
which to establish an agricultural loan
fund in the state of Sac Paulo and the
same country has within two years
borrowed 435 million francs in Paris.
Servia is treating in Paris for a
loan of 160 million francs, to be used
In railway building and for military
purposes, and Nicaragua will prob
ably float small loan of 80 million
francs there.
The municipality of st. Petersburg
is looking for loan Of 100 million
francs, and the city of Buenos Ayres
which has adopted a plan Of municipal
improvements, including a great new
avenue, wants rs million francs. These
with other loans likely to be made by
the great Paris bankers this year
amount to the grand total of 555 mil
lion francs. And these loans are not
OF the most important, being really
in the line of minor operations.
France has become a great lender
because Of the marvellous thrift of her
people, and the good sense and intelli.
gence of her bankers who have stud.
led foreign countries and their needs
and know how to distinguish between
deserving borrowers and mere specu.
lators.
The activity Of France along this
line seems to be the best answer to
the statement made recently by a
leading western educator that France
is decadent nation. Decay and a
well filled purse do not often go to.
