Agriculture in the
United States.

Our land is becoming higher ir
price in this country as in the
older nations intensive farming
is steadily increasing. There
must be a larger product from
each acre to make the farming
pay. Corn and grain crops are
being suppIanted by root crops,
and the dairy business is sup
plementing the growing of the
root crops. They go we'll toge th-
er, A greater and greater de-
m and for agricultural products,
with a supply not increasing SO
as this insistent demand
tends to raise prices on TODD pro-
ducts and incidentally prices OF
all commoditieS

Municipal
Ownership of
Public Utilities.

There is such an intimate rela t
lcnship between the public anc
the public utilities such as the
water-svstems, telephones, elec
trio power systems, ETC., that pub
lie control of these seems to b<
the only logical and consistent
proposition.
NO utility ot A public character
should furnish it's service or com.
modify at a greater price or cost
than it's real value, vet when il
is privately owned it will be sold
at A price made to pay dividends
on watered stock, and it's capt..

ment will usually be far greater
than its holding are really worth
intrinsically.
Under public ownership there
need be no greater charge than
VIII cover cost and expense of
operation.
Under municipal control, the
charges being lower, there will
De still greater consumption, and
thus automaticall the charges
VIII lower themselves The great

be maximum of consumption

This is the experience with
municipal control of public utilit-
les in both Europe and America.
Municipal control will result
III greater population, a wider
distribution of benefits, and the
general effects will be for create
and better community.
The public is master of the
situation here. We can secure
control OF our public utilities
Organization and united effort

We think it is time that Oakley
owned its public service utilities.
The business men and the peo
pie generally are favorable to
municipal ownership.

AMERICAN SCHOLARSHIP.

AMERICAN SCHOLARSHIP.
Scholarship in America has re-
ceived grave damage from its
most inveterate enemy, which is
early specialization. The stu
dent of English history who can
not express an intelligent or in
telligible opinion as to the signiti-
canoe of the Stuart dynasty will
take many pages and draw nu-
merous maps and plans for the
purpose of establishing by what
particular window Charles l.
passed out of the palace at
Whitehall to the scaffold. The
notion that this sort of informa-
ton is important at any stage in
students career is an illusion
well worthy of the study of the
academic pathologist. The as
sumption that such information
can take the place of a real grasp
upon ideas, tendencies and move
ments of opinion is hardly worth
discussing. The American col
lege must be brought back on to
firmer basis than this if 1t Is
to survive and if it is to be worth
working for. 1t is probably not
possible to ascertain what pro
portion of American students go
to college for social purposes
only, what proportion go with a
specific vocational end in view
and what proportion go for the
purpose of becoming literally ed
ucated gentlemen. 1t is prob
able. however. that the class last
named is not now very large.
but the country will suffer Sc
verely if this class does not grow

They listed all the new students in

understanding that they were to be

every phase of their university work,
and also in regard to any personal
problems. And 1t has worked.
