Figures published by the federal bu-
reau of education give evidence that
the rewards OF genius engaged Ia the
educational field are considerably be-
low those attainable in other of the
learned professions and In many indus
trial avocations The highest paid
head OF a state-aided institution OF
learning is the preSdent of the Univer.
sity of California, who receives $l2-
600 a year and house. The president
OF Cornell university and the Uni
versity OF Illinois, each receive $lO.'
600 a year and house. and the presi'
dent OF the University OF Minnesota
$4,000 a year without house, Other
presidents salaries run down as low
as 50 400 The best paid fun professor
enjoys an income OF $4,000 a year
and the least paid tutor struggles along
on an allowance OF $50. When 1t Is
considered that there are lawyers In
the country earning from $4,000 to
100000 a year. that some medical
men command almost as large earn.
ings and that many engineers, presi.
dents OF manufacturing concerns and
others engaged IN industrial pursuits
are equally well rewarded, one may
well marvel that so many men OF su.
perla.ive intelligence devote their
lives to pedagogy.

BABY IS HELD BY SNAKE
Reptile, Attacked in Time, Seems to

Struggles for Freedom.

San Gregoria. Cal.-Trapped IN the
coils OF a huge gopher snake, which
stole upon her as she lay asleep in
hay field in Wild Goose canyon, five
year-old Charlotte Newman, daughter
Of farmer who resides near Daven-
port, was held captive by the reptile
for a half an hour, while frantic chill
dren who had discovered her plight
summoned help from distant farm
house.
The little girl, who is visiting rela-
tives in the canyon, fell asleep while
at play with her juvenile companions
in the new mown hay. She was not
missed until her cries of terror we're
heard by the boys and girls. When
they ran to her the snake had wrapped
itself about her ankles and she was
powerless to escape
Frightened at the snake, which
semed to be enraged at the struggles
of the child, the children hastened to

TODAY is the national day Of
thanksgiving day which has
been set aside in order that the
people of this great country of
ours may have opportunity to
gather and give thanks to the
Almighty for the blessings
which have been bestowed upon
them. Truly the people of tie
United States have much to be
thankful for this year. We are
at peace with the world, bust
ness conditions have never been
better and the crops during the
past year have been most plenti-
full. A few people will remem Der
to go to church and give thanks
for what we are enjoying IN this
world Of ours, but to the vast
majority the real spirit of the
day has been forgotten and tc
most people it is a national holi
day-a sort of a day on which
one gorges themselves with
turkey and other good things
and then lays around the bal
ance of the day putting cigars
and feeling full. But while most
people are taking it so easy just
stop and reflect what a blessing
it is that you live in this great
country where you are sure of
three meals a day, with good
enough clothes to keep you
warm, and prosperity having q
gala time galivanting through
out the nation.
