81 slapped him on the back
and asked how he was getting
along. He was getting along just
fine. He would have that eighty
acres of wheat ready pretty
soon. l asked him to go over to
the field with me.
How much is this costing
us2' l asked him. He couldn t
tell me. / told him that it was
a mighty important thing to
know and / asked him to aid me
in figuring it up. He did. That
field was costing us $40 an acre
to plant and that year it pro-
duced twenty-six bushels to the
acre. l told him | guess we had
better go over to the house and
settle up, which we did. That
settled me on agricultural stu
dents as farm managers. "
"What became of the second
young mani"
"Oh, he got veterinary job
with the government and is now
doing expert work helping stamp
out the foot and mouth disease.
" We would pay the right
kind of a farm manager 800 a
month, but we can't get one.
They are as scarce as hens teeth.
1t is the same with other kinds
of efficient farm help. The man
who knows how and can show
results can command his own
figures, so far as salary is con-
cerned. If he can show he is
worth the money he can get it.
We are thru experimenting. He
must show us the goods before
he lights here.
GA wealthy farmer of my ac-
quaintance visited an agricul-
tural college and saw lot Of
young women there studying. He
was told they were there to fit
themselves for cooking, all the
practical things about the home
so they could obtain practical re-
sults-ft themselves for good
salaries. The mans wife was
partly blind and couldn't active
ly manage their home.
That's the very thing for
me- he told the professor. we
want a young woman well fitted
in that way to take charge of
our home and manage it. Will
you talk to some of the young
women about it? We can afford
to pay well.
"The professor informed him
it would be an insult to any of
the young women to suggest that
after they left the school they
accept a position as a servant or
a home manager as suggested.
He refused to do it.
" Then what in the world are
these young women studying
for?' he was asked. They were
studying to fit themselves for
teachers-to tell others at a sal
airy how to do the things they
had learned to do in the college.
They were being taught to hunt
for the easy things.
"These colleges are not fitting
men to work. They are fitting
men to search for something
easy. We have an oversupply of
advice-just coolies and loads of
it. What we need in the country
right bad is men who will work,
as well as advise. Too many men
are being fitted for the easy side
of life and not enough for the
other side. These colleges are
saddling on us a mighty expen-
sive lot of fellows. They spend a
dollar to make a nickel. Give us
more men not afraid to work.
That is the kind of farm mana
gers we need"

Would Outlaw Canoes.

Burning of the canoes at Camp Tek- akwitha is a good example The use of these extremely frail, unstable and therefore dangerous craft should be everywhere restricted to expert swim mers. Any others who go out in them risk their lives, since the least in- cautious movement is likely to cause an upset even when the water is quiet.
 While canoes iiiaayy iiiiay still still be used by those who are fitted and ready at any moment to swim ashore, 1t would be better if they were put out of use al- together. There is always the dan ger, as long as they are kept at hand
 that boys who cannot swim may seize an opportunity to venture out in them
 They serve no purpose that is worth while. An expert may derive some pleasure from padding canoe about
 but to persons who want to enjoy a ride upon the water they offer neither security nor comfort.-Albany Journal

FIXED IT TN HER MEMORY
Ingenious Method by Which Lawrence Hutton Cured Waitress of Her
 Forqctfulness.

The late Lawrence Hutton used to say that having to take a little trou- ble would impress fact on anyones memory so that he would never be able to forget it. In illustration he would tell this story:
 Our waitress, Maggie, could never remember to put the salt on the table, and time after time Mrs. Hutton would remind her to do it. One morning it was absent, as u@ual, and 1 said: Mag gie, where is the stepladder?'
 It's in the pantry, sir
 Please bring it in, Maggie said, kindly.
 Maggie brought it in with look of wonder on her face.
 Put it right beside the table, commanded; and when she had done so added: Now, want you to climb up to the top of it, look all over the table and see if there is any salt there.
 Maggie never forgot the salt again. Youths Companion.

Coverino Cream Cans.

A great part of the value of keeping cream cool on the farm and at the station or creamery Is lost if the cream is exposed to the direct rays of the sun while being hauled from the farm to the point of sale. Far too few people stop to realize the impor- tance of covering their cream cans when bringing them in to town. Ex- pensive jacketed cans are not neces- sity to keep the cream cool. In sum- mer weather just an ordinary piece of wet burlap thrown over the cans will keep the temperature of the cream as much as 20 degrees below what it would rise to if left uncovered while being transported over the average hauling distance.

 The ambassador is optimistic in spite of the growing serious concern here over the state of relations be- tween the United States and the Ger manic allies, following the receipt of a disappointing note from Germany on the Arabic and the request from the recall of Ambassador Dumba of Austria. It is held in German circles the Arabic note, with it's reiteration of the announcement that submarines are under orders not to sink peaceful liners without warning, is ir accord with assurances already given the State Department and confidence is felt that an agreement can be reached for arbitration of the question of re- paration.

In the normal times of re- cent years a visitor at one of the sum- mer conferences of the student Young Mems Christian association, for in stance, would be surprised and de- lighted at the hearty good times which the delegates enjoyed.
