OLDEST UNIVERSITIES.

The oldest universities on the con-
tinent of Europe are those Of Bo-
logna, Paris and Salamanca. In Eng
land Oxford and Cambridge are the
most ancient. Many of the earlier
universities were the outgrowth Of
the intellectual movement known as
"Scholacticism." Great scholastics
like Abelard and others would draw
about them crowds of young men to
listen to their lectures, and the lee
lures were followed by the perma-
nent institution known as the uni
versity. In such way Abelard be-
came the practical founder of the
University of Paris.

TAXES FLOW INTO
COUNTYS STRONG BOX
SOMETHING OVER ONE THIRD OF LAST
YEARS ASSESSMENT ALREADY PAID
INTO TREASURY.

People are meeting the demands
of county government these days
by paying into the county treasury
certain little sums which forcibly
reminds the man OF much worldly
possessions that it costs something
to be we'll off, and likewise gives
momentary pleasure to the poor
man for being that way.
The total tax levy for all pur-
poses in the county last year
amounted to $50, This tax
became due last December and de-
linquent March Ist. If one-half
was paid by March Ist, however,
the other half could go to the last
day of September before penalty
would attach. The penalty is one
per cent per month on the whole
sum due. OF course large num-
Der Of people see to it that half Of
their taxes are paid by March Ist
and yet goodly amount has been
coming in since that time. APP
proximately $4,000 of last years S
assessment has already been paid
in which speaks very well for the
citizens OF the county and we be-
lieve compares favorably with con-
ditions in many of the older coun-
ties of the state.
Some people have the impression
that they should receive notice
from the treasurer of the amount
of their taxes. due possibly to the
custom that prevailed in the states
from which they came, but the law
expressly provides that this is not
required and therefore the expense
incident to mailing out such notices
if it were done, would not be
lawful expenditure of public money.

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

When frying meats. fish. ETC., and
the stove becomes greasy sprinkle salt
on the spots as soon as the frying is
done and rub. The stove will be clean
from grease.
When sweeping mating. to avoid
tearing the fabric slip covering OF
flannel over the broom. The flannel
will take up the dust easily and will
save the mating much wear.
Here is a way to pad the ironing
board. First tack an old soft blanket
about the board. Next put layer of
cotton batting and over this sew tight
ly unbleaclled muslin. Lastly put on
the cover and the work is done.
The water in which onions have been
boiled is excellent for cleaning gilt pic
ture frames. 1t not only removes
specks and dirt, but brightens up the
frames in wonderful way. But it
should not be used until quite cold.

Children, This Part Is Yours
EXPERIMENTS WITH WORMS.
Their Peculiar Way Of Joining To-

In experiments the angie or fish"

err. Cut off their heads, and new heads
grow on. Cut off their tails. and new
tails grow. yivisect them at both ends,
and both ends are soon replaced. Not
only that. but new body grows on
behind the detached head and also in
front Of the detached tail. 1t is not
true. as is sometimes said, that il a
fish worm is cut In pieces the pieces
will join themselves together again.
Children would better let scientists
do such experimenting, however. as it
amounts to cruelty when done for
sport. The same principle is worked
out as when you sustain a hurt, per-

ture then takes its course and heals
the injured section on you as 1t does

Reason For the Moaning.

A boy had wandered into an orchard
one windy day late in the spring He
stopped under a gnarled old apple tree
which. under the pressure OF the strong
blast. was swaying and creaking and
moaning as If in greatest agony.
what on earth are you making all
that fuss about?" the boy asked. in
some derision. Your moaning and
grooming are enough to make a black

bia dry is becoming statewide. Many
Of the papers over the state have
taken up the matter insisting that 1t is
a subject in which. the entire state is
interested. Almost without exception.
these papers point out it would be a
severe blow to the university should
the people of the town vote for sa-
looms, which would be open to student
patronage.
Both sides are claiming victory in
the election to be held Tuesday, June
4. The decision really rests, it is be-
lieved here, with the negro vote. The
negro voting population is close to
500 and the drys to win, it is said,
must get large per cent of this vote.

TO STOP BLUE SKY" LAND SALES
Government Will Take steps to Check
Fake Concerns Selling Canadian
Farms.

Chicago, Illinois.-F. H. Newell, d.
rector of the reclamation service, has
summoned representatives of Western
railroads, state land commissioners
and reclamation agents to meet here
to take up the question of blue sky"
land investments. 1t is said the fed
eral government is considering move
ment for their suppression.
The prime purpose is to build up
the new West" Because better in
ducements are offered in western
Canada without actual conditions be-
ing better, the government is said to
have recognized that something must
be done to stop the removal Of APP
proximately 100000 families a year
from the United States.
The continued exposure of fake"
land companies, which it is said, have
mulcted investors out of large sums
by inducing them to buy land which
is worthless, or to which they have
no more title than to a claim on the
blue sky, is blamed for the large emf
grafton to Canada. From this is TAX
en- the nickname of the law which
Kansas passed to outlaw such con-
Germs.
