as the fact that the girls are tired of school
 Pocket money is quite as attractive enjoys being able to take his girl friends on automobile rides, and lin ing them up against the soda foun- tain.
 Similarly to the young girl pocket m oney is the raw material of clothes. Clothes are the arsenal of the cam paign for bean. The prevailing home sentiment is that last years school dress, with a little modernization, will do very well for the coming season. She sees much better than Mother the futility of any such temporf2lng course Nothing will give her her true social position but, several L>es-. frocks. Then there are millinery anz- other incidentals.
 Whenever she mentions these vital truths, Mother refers to disagreeable subjects like Dads life insurance pol icy. Dad looks worried and grows more absorbed in the newspaper. What can an ambitious girl do, but get out in the real world, away from bookland and it's melancholy shadows. and hustle for her own pocket money
 It is of course needless to analyze or refute this point of view The girl who quits school too soon is tho girl who gets married too soon, who is driven into the factory to help her husband. Meanwhile the little ones. grow away from home influence like little weeds.

1REnAND's DREYF'Us CASE.
(New York world.5

Tn June, 1907, certain crown jewels including the Kings regalia of the Order of St. Patrick, were stolen from Dublin Castle. Sir Arthur Vicars, who succeeded Sir Bernard Burke, of "Burke's Peerage'' fame, as Ulster British justice has found it's way to satisfy Vicars's urgings that the truth about the theft be made public.
 An inquiry was begun in February, 1908, but Sir Arthur resigned from the commission and refused to appear as sessions would not be public nor it's inquests thorough. He was forced to resign office for negligence. The peo- pie regarded him a; <capegoat. Re ports appear from time to time that the jewels are pawned, that they have been returned, and so on; but no off, cfal statement has been made.
 Last May Sir Arthur won a libel yer dict of s25,ooo from a London weekly which stated that he had shielded a lady at the expense of his own repu- tation'' This court victory is all the vindication he has been able to se- cure.
 The case was revived last month, when F'flson- Young printed in the London Outlook that Sir Arthur was victimized by a group of young gen tlemen adventurers of a very unpleas- ant type, who came to him with per fectly good introductions'' and held high reveI in his office, with some de- tails az to duplicate keys. Sir Arthur's counsel deny the whole story. They add that the facts would have been accorded the public and judicial in quiry which he asked for and is still anxious to obtain
 In the face of such a challenge the British Government and administra- ton of justice will probably cantinue to ignore a theft from the nation; and no plausible reason for the neglect has been suggested except fear thta the truth might uncover plotters too highly placed

19O9@Stanley Ketchel knocked out Nose Lafontise in 24th round at Butte, Mont This was the first time the future niddIeweight champion had ever fought a professional, and the result was a great surprise to Lafon- tise, who was a rugged and clever battler. Moses graft was to travel about the West, posing as novice at the fighting game, and arranging matches with ambitious amateurs. By betting on himself he made 8 good living, but he struck a snag when he took on the Montana cowboy. All of Moses science and skill couldn't dis courage Ketchel, who kept right on coming until finally a wild and wicked lunge stretched out the ringer for the count.

Probably the treatises on sociology which one studies in college would say 1t. was because their parents wanted the money the child could earn. But are Father and Mother smart enough to get possession of any large part of the daughters pay envelopeY

To Continue Enforcement
Of the Pure Food Law
Statement by Chief AIsbeTg Of
The Bureau Of Chemistry.
Great Need Of Times More Science
In Manufacture Of Foods.

Atlantic City, y. j., June 5-There
has been and will be no step back
ward in the enforcement of the pure
food law under the new administra-
ton, DR.. Carl l.. Alsberg, chief of the
bureau of chemistry. today, told the
National Wholesale Grocers' Associa-
ton in annual convention here. He
added, however, that the administra
ton of the law will gain in effective
ness if coupled with policy of edu-
cation and instruction
DR.. Alsberg said he hoped to make
the chemistry bureau as valuable to
the consumer as the department of
agriculture as d whole had been to the
farmer.
One of the great needs of the
times, he continued, lis more science
in the manufacture of foods. Here in
the United States the business of food
manufacture has advanced with OK
traordinary rapidity. We no longer
live at home as they say in tn
south Our table is dependent on the
distant grower the distant manufae-
turer The food problem Is not a prob
lem of the home or even of the To-
cality. 1t is problem nation wide.
1.-THE transformation of the food
industry has been 50 rapid that abuses
could not fail to creep into it. The ola
household methods are often bad when
applied on a large scale New methods
had to be devised. Under pressure o.
competition these have not always
been thoroughly tested. Thus trade
practices have become established that
are hard to eradicate II must be on
of the duties of the department of ag-
riculture to examine into all OF THESE
processes, to improve good ones ana
discover substitutes for the bad. II
must also be its function to develop
methods of utilizing by-products ah't
of using as food many things which
are not now utilized.
Much work of this type already has
been done in the department of aSrl-,
culture, but it is hoped to make TINS
work the dominant note of the bu-
reau's policy"

them, as the Department of Agficul
ture, to be the prime mover in gen

1t is thought that once the towns and
cities become interested ther will en-
ter into the spirit of the thing, AMI
the result, the debris. dead bushes
and apple trees will be removed from
the limits of the highways, and no
more be breeding place for pests.
Then, too, it is hoped that the pride
of the community will reach farther
than it's highways, and enter into its
out of the way places. which are. even
if isolated, a breeder of disease and
pests.
The idea of having the Grange of
ficers address the meeting originated
for the purpose To see if some CO.

and the department can be formed.

ELMER ECTON IS
READY FOR BERTH

The umpiring of Elmer Ecton during
the past pair Of weeks at the Myrtle
street park has been a source OF pleas
ure to his friends. Mr.. Ecton Is an
old ball player, having served IN the
busy occupations OF catcher and frst
baseman on numerous southern Iowa
and northern Missouri semi-pro clubs
and now he has graduated to a full
fledg~d umpire. He knows the game
from the tap Of the gong to the
twenty-seventh out, and has good
pair OF eyes to see that none OF the
games fine points get by him. II
President Justice hasn't completed his
list Of umpires for the coming season,
he will show wisdom by giving Ecton
at least trial. Ottumwa devotees OF
the game and the players believe Ecton
lines up we'll with several arbitrators
who have served as regulars. and they
say he is fit for championship games.
