What a College Girl Can Do.

The college girl who lives in a small
town has perhaps the greatest power
for influence. Her education and eX-
perience raise her to a position which
commands the respect of those others
who have not had her advantages, and
this position she should use, not as an
excuse for egotism or self sufIiciency,
but as means Of accomplishing re-
forms in the life of the community.
Starting a village Improvement society
is an excellent way of interesting peo-
pie in their surroundings and opens
to many an entirely new world-a
world which teaches that the useful is
not necessarily the ugly and that en-
virOnment is the inspiration of action.
Beautifying the village or town is
bound to bring the citizens together
in a new and more intimate assOcia-
ton and does much to abolish those
dens of vice which disflgure not only
the aspect, but the moral life of
town.
or course this is but one phase of
civic Improvement; there are many
others. In the factory town especially
there is a wide scope for the college
bred woman's activity. There is no
reason why the factory town should
be unsightly or why the employees of
the factory should live in ugly, in
sanitary dwellings; no reason why the
women of the town should not be
reused to interest in their surround
ings and, above all, to self respect.
The woman of education owes it to |
her less fortunate sister to encourage
that feeling of self respect which lies |
dormant in the breasts Of so many fac
tory women. Give them the vision of |
something broader and higher than |
is comprehended in their own horizon
and they will try to conform their
lives to 1t.

And he went off to smoke in high

We were recommended to a boarding
house by the Rays. They assured us
that "only the best people will be
found there. We've often stayed there
ourselves"
We engaged rooms and after hOrri-

portly landlady assured us, with her
gilt earrings twinllling from emotion,

our little sitting room, where Miss

The Owl In History.

The owl was in former times gen
orally regarded as an omen of mis-
fortune or death. but as the Egyptians
represented Minerva under the form
of an owl the Athenians. who weE
under the care of this goddess, looked
upon the appearance of the owl as a
favorable omen. 1t therefore formed
upon the ancient coins referred to the
symbol of Athens and her foreign pos
sessions. The Chinese and the Tar
tars have also held the owl in high
esteem. The first named used to wear
owls feathers in their caps. and some
Tartar tribes still worship idols made
like owls.

Summer and Fall Seeding
and Top Dressing

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the sum-
mer and fall, claiming that by so doing
they are apt to get much better "catch"
than they do when they follow the usual
practice and seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top-dressing
grass land. Some of the most progress
sive farmers put on top-dressing immedi-
ately after haying, with perhaps a small
application of nitrate of soda the follow
ing spring.
If you will send your name and P. o.
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park,
VT, he will send you free, postpaid, sew
eral formulas for mixing fertilizers es-
pecially adapted to top-dressing and fall
seeding, together with prices of ingrepi-
ents, full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved by
the Vermont Experiment Station and
will be found thoroughly reliable.
