The aver- age number on probation throughout the year was S,485 persons.

YOUTH HEADS BIG CONCERN

Russell Monbeck, fourteen-year-old Dayton (O.) boy, is president of the Boys Box Furniture company, incor- porated under the laws of the state. It is cooperative organization, num- bering among its stockholders 28 boys. ranging from ten to seventeen years.
 The company operates from to p. m. daily and the company products are chairs, music racks, piano benches, writing desks, flower boxes, bird boxes and other light articles, for which it finds ready sale.
 The profits are divided up at the end of the year on basis of the num- Der of hours worked by each boy. Last year the 28 stockholders divided near ly 5000.
 The capital stock is one dollar a share. Some of the boys are anxious to buy more stock, but the rules of the company prohibit 1t.

While Francis Ouimet's golf wasn't quite so good, or nearly so good as it generally is, in the recent open championship his rare philosophy was still better than par.
 T played badly" he said. Out I could have played worse. But that part of it didn't matter. I had cork ing good time, which is what I play golf for. I don't ever want to win an- other championship if winning one is going to spoil my week. For some times you can win. and sometimes you cant, but in the end you generally get what is coming"
 When you are at the top of your game" added Ouimet. the game plays itself. And when you are not at the top of your game you are not going to win, and it is worse than foolish to fret or bother about it, since there Is nothing to be done except to take what you get"

LEAVE NOTHING FOR ENEMY
pert In the Matter of Destroying Weapons of War.

Military men are taught how to destroy surplus stores which may be useful to the enemy and which are in danger of capture.
 It may be necessary to destroy guns to prevent them falling into the hands of the enemy, or to make cap tured guns useless. If small amount of dynamite or other explosive is available of course this can be done very effectively.
 If not, the breech of the gun is closed and the hingejoints smashed as much as possible with handspike or pick If there is time few rife shots fired at the vital points of the gun effectively jam the mechanism so as to make it useless.
 With rifles, the butts are broken off and the barrels destroyed as much as possible. To do this the rifles are we'll heated over fire and smashed up with heavy hammers. The army hand books lay down that party of five soldiers should be able to destroy 50 rifles an hour.
 Ammunition Is destroyed by plac- ing it in a deep pit and setting it on fire.
 Telegraph wires are cut up into small pieces and the poles cut down and broken up.

FLOURISH ONLY IN WOODS
Wild Flowers That Refuse to Be Con- tented in Gardens That Are the
 Handiwork of Man.

Among the truly wild" flowers, two in their native fastnesses are the may flower, or trailing arbutus, and the twinberry, or partridge berry, the last named a member of the madder fam fly, and distant relative of the coffee tree. The mayflower is widest and shyest of all No more is the eagle at home in the farmyard or the cardi- nal in the cage than the mayflower in the garden. As the imprisoned cardinal pines away and dies when the gilded bars of birdcage separate 1t from it's liberty, so the mayfiower sickens and withers away in the gar den.
 The moth mullein for many year has been rural mothbah. It is a member of the figwort family. Among it's relatives are the great mullein, the blue toad-fax, the small snapdragon, the turtle-head, the beard-tongue, the monkey-fower, the lousewort and the cow-wheat. The country dwelling housewife uses it's leaves in packing away garments of winter to keep out the tiny cloth moths of summer. It is also believed to be a bane to cock reaches.
 The showy lady's slipper, shy member of the orchid family, flower ing from June to September, never seeks the haunts of man, but tries to remove itself as far from their com ings and goings as it can, and it sue. ceeds so well that only the flower lover who is willing to take pains can approach It's dwelling place. More over, it is so persistent in it's efforts to be let alone that it has come to have tiny glandular hairs which contain an oil that is somewhat poisonous to the human skin, and it is said that a number of cases of dermatitis have followed the efforts of flower lovers to carry it in triumph out of the woods.

Beating the Bakers.

"Oh, I am almost tired to death!" said the woman who spends half her time addressing club meetings. Our political economy club has been in session all day passing resolutions and drawing up petitions demanding a law regulating the price of bread. Only think! Three dollars worth of flour costs, when baked into bread. SIS. It's outrageous. We'll soon all be bankrupt. The bakers must be made to feel the power of the law. You should have been at the meet ing"

Hobo Amono Flowers.

The great bindweed, first-cousin to the morning glory, is hobo among flowers. It travelled up and down the lanes of world trade for centuries, until it has come to claim most of the northern hemisphere for it's abiding place. It loves wayside hedges and thickets, where it climbs over every thing in it's fight for the survival of the fittest; but it knows no joy great CT than getting into cornfield, where it can use the stalks as nature built trellis for it's wanderings. It flowers from June until September. It keeps solid hours, getting up with the rising sun and going to bed when the sun goes down, except on moon light nights, when it keeps open house for the benefit of certain moths that are it's especial friends.

Letters to the School Boards of cit
 ies having high schools that formerly
 received benefit from the state aid act, recently declared unconstitutional by
 the Supreme Court, were mailed by Geo B. Cook, state superintendent or public instruction. MT. Cook called attention to the increase in the high school enrolment in the state from 4,000 to 16,000 made during the time the state aid law was in effect, and urged the boards to cooperate in working for the passage of a new state aid law. In the letters, MT. Cook said:
 Tt appears that a state aid law very similar to the one passed in 1911 would not be unconstitutional if the funds were taken from some other source than the common school fund.
 ''It is earnestly urged that every ef- fort be made in the respective high schools to maintain the standards of the last few years, and that the pa triotic patrons be called upon, where necessary, for subscriptions and dona- tions and that tuition charges be made for outside pupils, il this cannot be avoided.
 "The State Board of Education and the State Department of Public h. struction will be very glad at all times, as heretofore, to aid you in all plans for your school. Let us work to- gether for the next two years in the firm belief that state aid will soon be re-established and high school privi- leges again made available for the boys and girls of the country dis tricts"
