He is highly educated math-
ematiciau, and his calculations
are based on astronomical laws.
Mr.. Blake predicted the drouth

vance, and said that the drouth
of 1913 would be longer and more
severe than those of 1911 and
1912.
He predicts that the winter of
l913-14 will be an exceptionally
good one for winter wheat, and
gives great deal of other val
liable data regarding the coming
year, which Is gong to be an eX-
ceptlonally erratic one, and
dangerous for the farmer accord
ing to his representations.
Crane & Company have one of
the largest printing. publishing,
binding and office-Supply houses
in this Western country, and
they have adopted this means of
helping their customers and
friends in celebrating their an
niversary of forty-five years of

Forecast by writing to Crane &

And they haven't even the hope to look forward to
that their work will grow lighter as they grow older
For the older they become the more work is pied on

the largest boy-he has deep, deep tub strapped 10

Yet in spite OF their hard work and their sorrows,

~ ZEE how smiling faced these children are! Yet now
probably the father the older brother OF every
one of them has gone away to the war. And so
these children although they go to work every morn
ing. no longer laugh. They are sad, and they weep
and their mothers weep. Yet they must work-eVen
harder than usual For they are German children, and
Germany is at with Europe
You wonder why they must work hard. 1t is be-
cause the crops must be gathered in that the soldiers
will not go hungry and the inhabitants become famine
stricken.
That is very hard life for young girl or boy, ism
it? For as soon a child is old enough to carry a
basket must begin work in the fields SO here you
see them as a photographer snapped them, walking
early in the morning along road that leads 10 the
vneyards-work aprons on, and carrying little wooden
tubs into which they throw the grapes they pick.

ChaHy's Sad End

We know you would like to hear
the story about Chahy, the little
squirrel, which Miss Rose Potter,
who drew him for us a few weeks
ago, you remember, told the editor.
Miss Potter writes US such a sad
little letter about him that we are
sure you would like to hear about it
too.
"Chaffy. of the drawing, was a real
little squirrel, who lived in our yard
at home. He would sit all afternoon
curled up on a pillow in the ham,
mock. and when hungry for some
particularly dainty bit would jump
upon the dining room window sill,
chattering and calling, until some
one opened the cake box and fed
him a cooky.
Poor little Chaffy. Mother found
him one day upon the window sill
with a tiny hole in his side, where
some one had shot him. Not know
ing at the moment that he was hurt,
she offered him a piece Of cake.
Re nibbled just bit, but by and by
he laid his head down close beside
it and didn't move any more.
Poor little wood baby! Perhaps
in becoming tame it lost that natu-
raj instinct which protects the wild
folk OF the forest"

Pullman people who have fol-
lowed the attempt i'll Montana to

are not surprised at the stand taken
in the matter by President Craig
head. Mr.. Craighead is member
of the board of trustees of the Car
negie foundation for the adyanc-
ment of teaching, and recent publica-
tons of that foundation indicate
that it is the Carnegie policy to re-
duce the status OF agricultural col

list separately from the university
and are literally developed Prior
to accepting the position as head Of
the Montana T.. President Craig
head was president Of Tulane uni
versity of New Orleans, La, an old

Der of whose faculty members speak

planned by the fact that he is a des-
ciple OF the old classic education
