A Flare Back,

If by any chance you happen to
cross the campus at Barnard College
for young ladies and meet a "fresh
man" you may be sure that her Golf
fure is natures product, for it has
been decreed by the sophomores that
freshmen" cannot wear rats or puffs.
If you meet an upper "classman,' or
classwoman, who has a beautiful head
dress it may or may not be the pro-
duct of the young lady's pocketbook
In an endeavor to impress the fresh
men with her learning the sophomore
girls at Barnard rather lost sight of
the reverse of their proposition. 1t
means, Of course, that the freshmen
must not wear false hair, and there
fore leaves us but one conclusion
that the upper classmen are permitted
to indulge. So if there are any sus-
ccptibie young men in the vicinity Of
Barnard they have a perfect right to
question the genuineness of the beau
tiful hair of the upper class girls. 1t
may or may not have been theirs
from birth; but if he meets fresh
man to whom nature has been kind
he may be sure that it is all hers. 1t
looks as though Barnard Sophs had
overreached themselves and that the
Barnard freshmen can afford to ac-
cept with perfect equanimity the de-
cree of the sophs.

A New Arqument.

A postmaster of Illinois recently
advanced the proposition that it might
be we'll to demand good roads or nc
rural delivery" as an incentive to bet
ter highways among those benighted
folks who have not yet been led to sec
the tremendous cost of hauling
produce over poor roads. Some of the
cities are objecting to the postal
deficit for which the rural routes are
claimed to be responsible. but fortu-
nately the farmer has the votes when
it comes to a test of strength and
there is likely to be extension and i'm :
provement rather than retrenchment
and curtailment in the rural routes.

Tbere ;ssmerit in the suggestion {

There Isl merit in the suggestion OF
this postmaster, however, and it is en-
titled to more than passing considera-
ton. To be sure he happened to
come from city, as the convention al
which he spoke was made up of firs'
and second class postmasters, but in
his effort to find some way to divert
funds into improvements for his own
Office, he hit upon plan that can be
made to work wonders for some Sec
tons of the country.
The order to provide good roads
with the alternative of giving up all
the many advantages of rural free de-
livery, would at least set some of the
more conservative" jogging a bit. 1t
is natural that cities and towns with
large postal receipts and rapidly grow
ing business should object to using
cramped quarters and obsolete equip
ment. One way that more money
could be released for their use would
be to provide better roads so that the
rural routes would cost less.

one of those sterile Maine farms we
have heard so much about, Harold
Doloff of Standish has raised the FOL
lowing crop on nine acres: 90 bushels
of Strawberries, cucumbers, beans,
peas, tomatoes sweet corn ana other
early vegetables, enough to supply his
own table and to furnish some Tor MS
neighbors. In addition to these ne
has raised 100 or more cabDaSeS, -
bushels Of oats, 800 bushels OF hrst-
class marketable potatoes, and cut nay
enough to winter two horses. TO
make the field look attractive, he
planted row of sunflowerS which
yielded a two horse load of heads.
These he will feed to his hens during
the winter. No special effort was
made in raising these crops, fertilizer
being principally used This shows
what a young man of energy, good
Judgment and sound commons sense
can do in the country and that farm
ing can be made profitable.
