RARRING PAID STUDENTS

II transpires that four of the L. of
IS baseball team had at some time
somewhere received some compensa-
ton for playing the game. They are
by no means professional ball play
ers. They are and have been for sew
eral years regular students in good
standing. else they could not be on the
Varsity team. They have TO do pass
ing work in all their studies for a
year before they can play in the inter
collegiate games. 1t would seem that
these restrictions would make il evid-
ent that only bonafide students are on
the team. Now what is the great Of
Tense if a student turns an honest
penny in the vacation time by playing
ball? If one OF the debating team re-
ceived money for coaching a student
in oratory would that bar him from
competition? If a student takes pay
for a Fourth OF July Grafton or sup
plying a pulpit does that bar him from
the intercollegiate contests? Do not
the scholarship and freshman limita-
lions bar out the professional player?
If the person is a student in good
standing and has had 10 have a years
probation TO prove his competency,
what's the harm of paying his way in

serving as bell-hop, working in a fac
tory or on a farm, Probably the worst
feature of the matter is that students
have lied TO dodge the rule. Prob
ably there's not college team of the
state or country that has not some

ceived pay for a days play. 1t is not
thought criminal by folks Public
sentiment does not sustain the rule.
Perhaps the public doesn't know. Per-
haps II is not keenly critical How
ever, that's doubtless the reason the
boys lie about the matter. But TO do
away with intercollegiate base ball as
a penalty for this violation of the rule
strikes us as a cowardly way of duck
ing responsibility. IL the board of COM
troll considers the rule a good one

" of infringing the rule, make lying
odious. build up a sentiment of honor
among the students. The athletic
field is the character laboratory.
There's the place TO try out your prin
ciples and theories, and your ethical
rules. Because students cheat in
exams, and tests, do we give up the
tests, We have no use for ringers"
or professionals on college teams, nor
dirty play in contests, we would hold
the standards high, and try 10 train
our youth 10 stand for the best. Just
the same learned men make mistakes
som etimes, and il may be that this is
one on the athletic board.

sicians who examined me for the COM

down on account of this insidious

Overworked kidneys may become
inlamed and seriously diseased while
the sufferer ignores the warnings.
Backache, rheumatism, uric acid in

A Useful Rubbish Heap

Ii will pay If you raise your own
vegetables, TO fatten your garden. Plan
a rubbish heap in the back part of the
garden lot. Put on il all the weeds
hoed up, all the grass clippings from
the lawn, turnip tops, vegetable peel
ings. etc, from the kitchen; in fact,
all the perishable rubbish you have
need to dispose of. Scatter the ashes
from the kitchen range or furnace
over the rubbish, add once or twice, a
little Stacked lime, and if convenient
pour the suds ON wash day over the
rubbish pile, as this will kill insect
eggs. and any insects themselves that
have lodged there. by the following
summer you will have a rich and thor
oughly decomposed mound of fertili-
ger. better than any you can buy, and
at no cost; unless, indeed, ii be for

the tall, stately, classic type-nothing is

Today's Poem
THE NEARNEss OF NATURE

THE NEARNESS OF NATURE
Nature is no distant dame,
All aloofness in her mien;
Mistress Nature is the same
Unto peasant, unto queen
Yea, the sun of Summer sweet
Shattered from a sheltered crown
Kisses little children's feet
That are bravely bare and brown.
They who seek her need not fare
over dim. mysterious hills;
Always she is sitting there
over dim, mysterious hills;
When the traffic hesitates
Where the human river pours
Nature creeps through city gates
Knocking at our city doors.
Nature plants courageous grass
In the cobbled market-place
Where the weary thousands drag
Bent of form and sad of face.
She comes creeping, creeping so
From the country unawares,
With her roses in a row
And her ivy on the stairs.
only just a little way,
Alley first and avenue,
out of road of sturdy clay

The Baby's Dessert

OF course the recipes given below
are not for nursing babies. but for
the baby" of the family-the little
child who can not be given the heavy
pies cakes. buildings, and douEhnuts
served on the farm table. II means a
little extra work for the mother 10
prepare these desserts, but some of
them are nourishing enough TO serve
for nearly a meal, so after all il is
economy TO make them. Besides
perfectly healthy, well-fed child
makes less trouble and expense than
a sickly one, fed on improper foods,
so the busy country mother with the
welfare of her little ones at heart
manages to tit in some delicious cook
ing suited TO the tots
Rice Custard-One tablespoon Of
leftover rice, one egg, two table
spoons of sugar. a tiny dash Of nut
meg. and a large cup of sweet milk,
sugar and rice. Beat again and flavor
Bake in an old thick cup or tin very
slowly. This can be used hot for din
ner with skim milk over it and the
rest cold or warmed over for supper.
Orange Cup-Cut sweet oranges in
little bits and mix well with shredded
cocoanut in individual dishes or sher-
bet cups. Sweeten and on top put "A
preserved cherry or two or a teaspoon
Of preserved strawberries.
Apple Sauce with Raisins-Make
the apple sauce after any liked recipe
and keep il as hot as possible. Have
ready some large seeded raisins and
mix lightly with sauce. Children love
this dish with or without thin cream
and it is very good for them. Ii may
be varied by using figs or dates. but
these are not usually so we'll liked.

The kinsliness of Toll

Ii isn't always best TO choose
The line of least resistance"
The things you can't afford TO lose
Are captured by persistence.
The arm that never strikes a blow
Gets puny, weak and fiabby;
The soul that seeks its ease, we know
Grows feeble, shrunk and shabby
TITS manhood's heritage TO strive
For what is worth possessing;
And few are ever known 10 thrive
Who wait for Luck's caressing.
The sturdy oak must seek its strength
Deep in the old Earth's soil;

WASHINGTON. July 24.-The fun
text of the note to Germany, giver
out today, is as follows:
The Secretary Of state to Ambas-
sador Gerard. Department Of State,
Washington, July 21, 1915. - You
are instructed to deliver textual1y the
following note to the minister of for
eign affairs:
The note of the imperial German
government dated July 8, 1915, has
received the careful consideration of
the government of the United States,
and it regrets to be obliged to say
that 1t has found it very unsatisfac-
tory, because it fails to meet the real
differences between the two govern
ments and indicates no way in which
the accepted principles of law and
humanity may be applied in the grave
matter in controversy, but proposes.
on the contrary, arrangements for a
partial suspension of those principles
which virtually set them aside.
Freedom of Seas Recognized.
THE government of the United
States notes with satisfaction that the
imperial German government recog-
nizes without reservation the valid
ity Of the principles insisted on in
the several communications which
this government has addressed TO the
imperial German government with
regard to its announcement of a war
zone and the use of submarines
against merchantmen on the high
seas-the principle that the high seas
are free, that the character and car
so of merchantman must first be
aseertained before she can lawfully
be seized or destroyed, and that the
lives of non-combatants may in no
case be put in jeopardy unless the
vessel resists or seeks to escape after
being summoned to submit to exam
nation: for a belligerent act Of re-
taliation is per Sc an act beyond the
law and the defense of an act as re-
taliatory is an admission that it is il
legal.
America Is Disappointed.
/ ne eQN0l AAlltAll VI NAH NuAlNA
States is. however. keenly disappoint-
ed to find that the imperial German
government regards itself as in large
degree exempt from the obligation to
observe these principles, even where
neutral vessels are concerned by
what 1t believes the policy and prac-
tice of the government OF Great
Britain to be in the present war with
regard to neutral commerce. The i'm
perial German government will read
lily understand that the government
of the United States cannot discuss
the policy of the government of Great
Britain with regard to neutral trade
except with that government itself.
and that 1t must regard the conduct
of other belligerent governments as
irrelevant to any discussion with the
imperial German government of what
this government regards as grave and
uniustifiable violations of the rights
of American citizens by German naval
commanders.

After narrowly escaping lynching at

Empey, q prominent rancher and
held him a week for ransom was plac-

abduction. Empey said he was well

worse for his experience.

on what is known as Cranes Flat.
Empey two days ago escaped from
his ahductor and was found by Unit
