The Boy and the

By JOHN p. FALL0N

One evening a boy came
to his father as he was read
ing The Star, and told him
that he was going to quit
learning geography, as there
was nothing interesting
in it.
SO the father said: you're
going into business after
YOU leave SCHOOL,"
Sure" replied the boy
eagerly, taking for granted
that there was no more
geography for him.
We'll, here's what a bust
ness man writes today" and
he turned to an advertise
ment about oriental rugs,
in which the life of the
orient was wildly por-
trayed.
What do you think of
that he queried.
Bully" answered the boy.
Now, that's geography.
The boy looked dismayed.
There's more to geogra-
ply continued the father,
than names of places. You
find out why we send to
Italy for silks, to Germany
for toys, and why other ma
tons come to buy from us"
Read the advertisements
in The Star closely and con-
stantly every day for the

All noble men to do all good
For lovely, lofty womanhood!
Let women vote to help the cause
To purify the nat TONS laws

Crushing the cruel and the strong!
Let women vote to help themselves.
And join the world that digs and delyes,
For freedom and the glorious light

And when they act on land or sea,
They vote for love and liberty!

While many proflt-sharing manulac-

in the United States, in which the wage
earners share profits with the owners
Of the plants, the number Of urban CO.
operative manufacturing establishments,
In the accepted sense Of the term, is few.
The major portion of the cooperative
manufacturing plants in the United
Sites is confined to the rural DISTRICTS
Here frequently are found cooperative
CT eameries, and, while some OF them fall
because Of the lack Of proper manage
ment and others because of the lack or
proper and sufficient milk supply, on the
whole they are profitable establishments
The usual method OF establishing CO.
operative creamery is for several pub
lic-spirited residents of q farming COM
munity to get together and decide to call
in q representative OF a creamery-ma-
chinery manufacturer to help them or
ganize a cooperative company. The rep
resentative is always ready to come. be-
cause the invitation implies that he Is
going to stand a good chance OF INSTALL
ing the machinery. They go about the
community together, interesting farm
ers In the prospects and getting sub
scriptions for the undertaking. When the
necessary support is assured a meeting
Of the interested farmers is called, when
the kind Of machinery Is determined
upon, a manager Is employed and the
rules and regulations for the operation
of the plant are drafted. Once the cream
cry is established. in some instances wag-
onS are sent out to gather the cream
In other instances the farmers bring the
cream from their dairies two or three
times week.

One manufacturer. who makes gasoline

that until the selling end was so thor

BIG SUM GIVEN FOR FARMS
100000 TO BE APPROPRIATE
ED FOR EDUCATIONAL WORK.
Government to Aid the Agricultural
Schools and Other Instructors in
Trades and Economics.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Page
vocational educational bill authoriz-
ing maximum appropriations of over
100000 for agricultural and
trade educational work was adopted
by the senate today as substitute
for the Lever-Smith bill, which pass
ed the house. The measure will go
to the house and ultimately into a
conference committee.
The Page bill authorizes the estab-
lishment in each land grant college
of an agricultural extension depart
ment, to give instruction and prac-
teal demonstrations in agriculture
and home economics to farming COM
munities. Each state is given $10,-
600 this year, making $480,000 in
all, the total amount to be increased
100000 each year for ten years. To
receive its allotment each state must
appropriate an equal amount for car
rying on this work. Three-fourths
of the whole sum must be spent each
year for field instruction and demon
stration. None of this money can be
used for buildings, and each state
must replace any amount that is lost
or misappropriated.
For special instructors in rural
high schools 100000 annually is
appropriated, beginning in 1916, $4,-
10000 for intermediate schools and
an additional $4,000 annually to be
apportioned among the states in pro-
portion to the number of persons en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits. Ad-
ditional sums are given for training
teachers.
