INSTITUTIONS WHICH DEPEND ON GRANTS
FROM THE GOVERNMENT.


Al the close of the war Dr. Hibben believes that
most of the German universities will be IN
desperate condition. Not only will they have lost
through one cause or another most Of their stu
dents and many Of their faculty members, but
they will also be in u bad way financially. Grants
from the government are depended on in order to
keep going, and a government that is practically
BANKRUPT. as it seems likely that Germany will be
after the war, has money to give TO unlVer-
stiles. Even if Germany should wn the univer-
sites will be in very bad way, but as she seems
almost certain to lose things will be even worse
81 should not be surprised" declared DR.. Hib-
ben "to see some of the oldest and most famous
German universities permanently close their doors
as a result of the war. In Austria the same will
probably be true. / am not familiar with condi-
lions concerning universities in Russia, but 1t
seems highly probable that the war will have ITS
evil effect there, although probably in less de-
gree II is hard TO realize the numerous ways IN

Here DR.. IIibben paused and glanced out across

windows Of his library to the edge of the Prince

migrating robins which were hunting worms on
the close clipped grass. 1t did seem impossible
70 realize that the very instant scores of thou
sands of men were facing instant death in Europe.
Perhaps something Of this was in Dr. Hibben's
mind. He turned TO the interviewer.

York you really should go and take look at
our new stadium" he said. ats most remarkable
the progress they have made with it. When |

understand that considerable number of the
American students attending universities and ar
schools in Paris have Joined the Foreign Legion
Should the regular courses be offered, hardly
man would appear to take them. But there is an
other reason why the universities will not be
opened Except for the oldest men, practically
every professor and instructor is at the front.
This Is an example of the complete grip which
the war has on the country. In the wars of the
past many classes of society have felt only the
indirect effect of the lighting. During our own
Civil War, great as il was, most OF the uniVersl-
ties of the North remained open and were fairly
we'll attended. Much as men were needed, 1t was
not necessary TO take the boys OF college age or
the finely trained men of the faculty. OF course
many of the students volunteered, but there WAS
no compulsion about it. In the South II was dit
ferent and several colleges ended their distin-
ruished careers because every one connected with
them had gone I, the war.
"Thc operations in Europe are Of so gigantic
nature as to make all military campaigns OF the
past look almost trivial This means that an enor-
nous number Of men must take the field, and that
there are no classes which can be spared. Any
one able to carry and fire rifle can add his small
part to the strength Of an army, and his previous
station in life is matter of no consequence Thus
there is no such thing as exemption except in the
case of the physically unfit. Recently France has

REDUCING TOBAC-
CO ACREAGE

Two of the tobacco growers
organizations in Western Ken
lucky have voted unanimously
to curtail the tobacco acreage.
These organizations are located
in what is known as the STEM
ming district where prices in the
last two years have not been
satisfactory to the producers.
Tobacco prices unquestionably
would be better if the growers
did not overreach themselves in
acreage. 1t is not an easy mat
ter to limit production. A move
ment by organized growers to re-
duce the acreage usually results
in a corresponding effort on the
part of the independent growers
to put out larger crops. 1t is a
fact also, that some of those who
vote for the curtailment of &C
reage expect the other fellow to
do all the curtailing. These con-
trive by evasion of one kind and
another to- grow their usual
amount of the weed, hoping to
profit by the reduction of acreage
by those who scrupulously OBJ
serve their agreement.
The growers organizations
are trying to systematic the
production and marketing of to-
bacco and in truth system is
greatly needed. So long as so
many of the tobacco farmers
sacrifice quality while striving
for quantity in their crops there
will be complaints of unsatisfac-
tory returns. 1t is not possible
to bring all the growers into any
sort of an association and it is
difficult to induce some of those
who enter into the pooling agree
ments to stand hitched. Posi-
bly, the organizations themselves
are lacking in system, but they
are persisting and it is presum-
able that while they are living
they are learning.
There is no doubt that if the
growers could be induced to line
up together compactly for a re-
duced acreage and for co-opera-
tive selling they could control
the tobacco situation-at least to
the extent that fair prices would
be forthcoming for their product.
The present tendency is in that
direction. How long it will be
before the organization reaches
such a state of undoubted eff
fciency is merely a matter of
surmise.

PAINT FOR THE FARM

decorative as well as protective
if colors are chosen with care
and good taste.
For farm buildings, white is a
clean and wholesome color, but
is unsuited for use upon stock
barns, if lead paint is used, be-
cause of the discoloring effect of
fumes from the decaying organic
matter. White may make the
buildings over-conspicuous, but
brown, gray or green, trimmed
with different tone of the same
color, fits them nicely into the
color scheme of nature and har-
monies with the surrounding
landscape.
Colors are important aside
from the appearance of objects
painted with them. Bright colors
are often used as a cloak with
which to conceal impurities, how
ever, without the assistance of
chemical analysis, impurities are
difficult to detect, especially in
the ready mixed paints. Paints
must therefore be bought of a re-
liable dealer who knows and sells
good paint, or only those brands
of known quality must be pur-
chased. Ready mixed paint when
made by a reliable manufacturer
should be better than the home
mixed kind, because experience
and skill are required to prepare
it successfully.
There are some worthless
brands of paint on the market
and it is important to avoid
them if possible. Some of the
compounds sold as paint, or as
substitutes for it, are not only
valueless for the purpose for
which they are sold but are even
destructive in their action.
The liquid portion of paint, the
thinner or vehicle, should be
from IS to o5 per cent. linseed
oil. The remaining portion of
the thinner should be largely ia
pan dryer which is itself about
one-fourth linseed oil. Very
small quantities of turpentine
and China wood oil may be al
lowed. For the solid portion, or
pigment, of paint white lead,
zinc oxide, oxide of iron, and red
lead are satisfactory. Paints
made from them may be tinted
many colors by the use of ocher
umber, chrome yellow, prussian
blue or bone black. The color is
only small part of paint and
has little to do with its quality
Ready mixed paints are salts
factory and economical for small
jobs, such as interior work, paint
ing farm machinery, wagons and
other such equipment. If more
than one coat is to be put or
with ready mixed paint it must
be thinned for the printing coats
by pouring off part of the con
tents of the can without stirring
and thinning by the addition OF
small amounts of turpentine and
linseed oil. The portion poured
off is then returned to the can
and all thoroughly mixed. The
amount of thinning depends up
on the kind of surface to be
painted and the number of coats
to be given. For the finishing
coat, ready mixed paint is used
as it comes from the can, after
a thorough stirring.
Paint should be we'll worked in
with the brush across the grain
of wood and finished with long
smooth strokes the length of the
board. Good results can be had
only when the surfaces to be
painted are dry and clean. Build
ings should be dry inside as well
as out, and each coat of paint
should be allowed to dry thor
oughly before beginning the next.
