Sunset-Central
Cattle Prizes
Owing to Lateness of An
nouncement, Farmers I'm
able to Compete, and
Contest Carried Over
to 1915.

Acting OH the Judgment and adj
vice of the Federal and County
agricultural officers and supervisors
along the lines of the Sunset-Cen-
trail, the Industrial and Immigra-
ton Department of that system has
determined to carry the cattle prize
competition, announced to the
farmers some months since, into
next year.
H. NJ. Mayo, head of the depart
ment in question, states that the
determination to offer the blooded
stock as prizes for cotton and corn
production, was unfortunately de
laved until the farmers had made
their plans and had, in the majority
of instances, planted their crops.
This prevented the growers from
entering the contest and seriously
initiated against the success of the
project.
I'VE will carry the contest over
to include the 1915 season instead
of making the awards this year,
said Mr.. Mayo, and will make
an active canvass of our lines i'll
ample time to insure a broad ad
vertisement of the scheme, and the
entry of farmers from every county
Our idea is not only to encourage
the better production of crops, bu'
a greater degree of interest i'll farm
and food animals by the farmer
which will have the result of i'll
creasing his prosperity and bette

cation.

Money Value of Education.

good many Richmond high school boys will
start out next month on their annual hunt for
vacation job. A number of these will be tempted
to stay with the work in preference to return
to school. That is the way with boys, not only in
Richmond but in every city.
To meet this problem of the energetic boy
with the lust to get job and "be man." Phila-
delphia school authorities appointed a commit
tee to make a thorough investigation.
After months of labor, this committee made
a report in which the whole matter was reduced
to dollars and cents basis in order to appeal to
the practical man and the taxpayer.
They found that the boy who left school at
fourteen received on an average of three dollars
a week to begin with and reached at twenty-five
the average of ten dollars, the limit of his earn
ing powers.
The boy who began an apprentice in a
shop started also at three dollars and climbed to
seventeen dollars at twenty-five, which was his
limit
The lad who remained in manual training
school until sixteen years of age began also with
three dollars per week. but reached twenty-six
dollars in his thirty -second year.
The boy who remained in school until eight
cen and left with technical education, began
at four dollars, but climbed by his thirty-second
year to forty-three dollars week.
Three dollars a week, the average of the four
teen year old unskilled boy, represents five per
cent on an investment of three thousand dollars.
Forty three dollars per week for the technically
trained represents five per cent on forty
three thousand dollars. AS an investment, the
latter is, therefore, worth forty thousand dol
lars more than the former.
Thus it is proved that education pays in dol
lars and cents, fact which, with the foregoing
figures, is hereby recommended to the parent
who for moneys sake permits his son to leave
school.

Soda For Gas,
Acid Stomach
or Indigestion

Gss, Gas, Gas-When everything
eaten turns to gas and we eructate
sour food and acrid fluids it means we
are troubled with acidity, says a noted
authority. An excess of hydrochloric
acid in the stomach starts food fer
mentation and prevents complete di-
gestion. Then our meals sour in the
stomach like garbage sours in a can,
forming gases which initiate the stom-
ach like a toy balloon, causing a
heavy. lumpy misery in the chest; we
belch gas, have sour risings heart
burn, flatulence, waterbrash and nau-
sea.
He tells us to put aside all digestive
aids and instead get from any pharma-
cy package of 10 grain Sodagen tab
lets and take one tablet any time fol-
lowed by tumbler of water which
will instantly neutralize acidity; stop
fermentation, absorb the gases and
sweeten the entire digestive tract
He further states that those men
and women troubled with chronic acid
ity and its resulting Indigestion, Sour
ness and Gases should take one 10
grain Sodagen tablet regularly after
meals for period as this antacid is
entirely harmless, being composed of

Animated Instruments

According to a Chicago paper, certain DIR.
Schultz is making an attempt to get together
boys and girls of eleven different races. His
scheme is to have these inter-marry through
two or three generations in order to produce
stock which will be fitted to work in Arctic re-
gions.
1T seems that recent discoveries of immense
deposits of mineral and vegetable wealth. where
climatic and other conditions make it impossible
for the white man to develop them, make it nee
essary to breed new race better fitted for such
purposes. 1t is prophesied that soon as this is
done, the great corporations of the next genera
ton will begin to exploit the coal and iron mines
found there and then go ahead on large scale
breeding these special employees, managers and
workers alike
We pass the puerile absurdity of trying to
breed men and women like cattle and poodle
dogs to note that this is just what lies at the
bottom of the labor war in Colorado According
tc reliable reports made by responsible investiga
tors, the miners there have been treated in just
the way DR.. Schultz hopes the great corpora
tons of the future will be able to treat the mon
grel offspring of his experiment,-as tools, as
means to end.
