 The Cook Stove.

The cook stove is horrible ex- ample of mans inhumanity te woman. Sometimes, when placed in the hands of a young bride who learned everything at, college ex- cept how to hash potatoes, it be- comes an object lesson of woman s inhumanity to man. The world is full of bilious husbands who married some prize winner in the Latin course and woke up later to find that while she could pin the shoulders of a Creek word to the mat three times out of five, she didn't know whether a cook stove could be started from the seat or had to be cranked with a half hitch.
 In a newly established home which is filled with love and install ment furniture. the cook stove is used for the first few years as a domestic science experiment station. As nearly all cook stoves are made of sheet iron, they do not feel these experiments nearly as much as the rest of the family If there were more sheet iron stomachs in existence there would be fewer round trip tickets sold to Reno. Nevada, with six months stop overs.
 The cook stove is simple affair. and seldom requires any more care than six cylinder automobile. It is so constructed that anyone can start a fire by the simple expedient of substituting gasoline for kero- sene.
 As arule the cook stove has to be fired up every morning and this is a wifely duty which should be in- cluded in the marriage ritual along with love, cherise and obey Fail ure to attend to this, on the part of enraptured and short-sighted bride grooms often results in the mourn tul spectacle of embittered hubbies leaving a warm bed at an unearthly hour and grouping around in the sepulchral wood-shed after kindling in their pajamas.
 One of the principle functions of the cook stove is to heat water for the bath room. It discharges these functions with great enthusiasm for the members of the family who gets to the bath tub first, after which it yields an icy product that would build chilblains on an Antarctic ex- plorer. In summer the cook stove does not heat water or anything else which accounts for the in- creasing popularity of the bathing beach and the four-minute sponge off. By Howard L. Ram.

ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP
Per Acre Value Five Times More Than CIover-Some Wisconsin Census Figures Which Talk
 for Themselves.

According to the 1910 census of the hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew fS.000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged 2.S tons per acre for the entire state, and the average acre value of the crop was s3100. During the same year the combined acreage of timothy valued at $14.00. It costs no more to grow an acre of alfalfa than it does to grow an acre of timothy or clover
 The average cost of growing an acre of clover or timothy is approximately $10.00. Thus the farmer would clear S4.00 per acre in growing these crops. whereas if he grew alfalfa he would make profit of $2100 per acre, or

ALFALFA
 Alfalfa should be grown on every farm. Make a beginning-start nOso.
ALFALFA sNRIcHEs THE LAND
Besides Producing More Abundant Harvests Alfalfa Adds Plant Food to the Soil for the Use of
 Other Crops.

Alfalfa enriches the soil. The roots of the alfalfa plant penetrate 12 to 35 feet into the soil-far beyond the reach of corn, wheat, oats and
 other shallow roofing plants, In this way potash, phosphorus and oth- CT elements of plant food are drawn up from below through the roots of the alfalfa plant and stored in the upper soil for the use of other crops.
 The experiment set forth in the ac- eompanying chart was made in Can ada, where it was found that alfalfa

sod yielded 61.5 bushels of wheat per acre, as compared with 42 bushels on timothy sod.
 Barley yielded 30 bushels per acre on alfalfa sod, and only 20 bushels on timothy sod. Canada is not corn country, yet the experiments show similar results. Alfalfa sod yielded "A bushels per acre of corn as com pared with Is bushels on timothy sod. This is only one of many such expert ments which give the same results, proving alfalfa to be a soil enriching crop.

Sand is the main constituent of glass, constituting from 52 to 65 per cent. of the mass of the original mix ture, or from 50 to 75 per cent. of the finished product, after melting has driven off carbon dioxide and other volatile materials. On the quality of the sand depend the transparency. brilliancy and hardness of the glass.

VERY ABLE ADDRESS
By DR.. Peterson at High School Aud
ltOrum Thursday Evening

DR.. Peterson, professor OF OBJ
stetrics and gynecology in the Uni
versity medical school at Ann Arbor,
who is recognized as authority in his
chosen profession throughout the
West, gave a lecture in the high
school auditorium last Thursday eV-
ening on the subject: Rights of the
Unborn Child" He showed among
other things that to destroy the life
Of an unborn child is a crime against
the interest of state, because the
state has guarded the life of the
child by sufficient statutes and laws
whereby the act is made manslaugh-
ter He also talked about the de-
moralizing results and the horrible
conditions now existing in our coun-
try; he proved by statistics the fright
ful prevalence of illegitimacy, stat
ing that out of five hundred cases at
the University of Michigan hospital,
three hundred and ninety-fve were
girls between the ages of thirteen
and seventeen, or in other words,
girls who were young and easily
misled and who were ignorant OF
facts which their parents should have
told them instead of waiting for them
to find them out by actual expert
ence.
DR.. Peterson also showed how
humanity was trying to allay this
great social evil by establishing
schools, etc, such as the State school
at Coldwater, and the Infants home
at St. Joseph. He remarked also that
| the state has an agent in every coun-
! ty engaged in uplifting these condi-
| tons, finding homes for these home.
less children and trying to save tn
girls.
His address was given in the most
choice language and diction and the
| high moral value of the lecture is o.
the greatest Importance, and the
lecture should have been attended by
| far more than were present. Ig
norant prejudice kept many away
when it would have been of the mos
| benefit to them. DR.. Peterson spoke
before the doctors of the city in tn,
Wright House during the morning
and his talk was splendid. After th'
talk the doctor enjoyed dinner at tht
hotel.

CHORAL CLUB CONCERT
In College Chapel Tuesday Evening,
December 9Th
PROF. RE-. vEATCa CONDUCTOR
ChOruSeS From 0peras-AudlenCe Applauded
enthusiastically

A more appreciative audience never
gathered in the college chapel than
the one which greeted the Choral
Club last week Tuesday evening.
The program consisted of the more
popular choruses from we'll known
operas, solos and a trio.
The first chorus was the WALTZ
Song" from Faust, which with its
swayihg, almost Intoxicating rhy ythm
captivated the audience at once. Fol
lowing this was the "Miserere" from
II Trovatore. The soprano and tenor
solos were taken by Miss Fuller and
Mr.. Fannell in the duett between tho
lovers and the chorus of ladies' voices
sang the "Miserares which foretold
the doom awaiting the prisoner at
dawn. The "Sextette" from Lucia
de Lammermoor with its beautiful
harmonies and dramatic character
came next, and the Bridal" chorus
from Lohensrin was given with
splendid effect.
The March OF the Toreadors from
Nul lllNi NlNluly pOl u dy Oh liiS NhiO va =
anxiously awaiting the appearance OF
the Toreadors, ready for conflict in
the Spanish arena. The last number
was the ever popular Soldiers Cho-
rus" from Faust and with its thrilling
martial air was perhaps even better
rendered than the preceding choruses.
Almost with one exception the ap-
plause was so great that the numbers
were repeated.
In addition to the choruses, Miss
McGreaham sang My Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice" from Samson and Deli
lah; the trio from the Rose Maiden
Hast Thou Wandered" was delight
fully sing by Miss McGreaham, Miss
Fuller and Prof. Veatch. Far from
the Summer Blossoms" also from the
Rose Maiden was made more beau
tiful than when the cantata was giver
last season by Mr.. Fannells interpre-
| tation.
To make the program still more in
terestng synopsis OF the opera:
from which the choruses were taker
was given by Prof. G.. Y. Warner.
Much of the success of the con
cert was due to Miss Theo Amsbury
the accompanist and to Prof. Veatcf
who has so we'll and carefully trained
the chorus.
