Duck Turns Into Soap.

At the State University museum is
the body of a duck that has turned
largely into soap. Doctor Wolcott
found the bird up in the sandhill re-
gion on n recent specimen hunting
trip. This is the first known specimen
of the kind. Doctor Wolcott explains
the phenomenon by saying that the
duck was fat and the water, alkal. and
sun hot. The action of the latter on
the alkali and the fat simply made
soap of that portion Of the duck that
was susceptible of being so trans.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he

A s~quare-built, full two-story house
is shown in this design. 1t is intended
for a family Of four or five who like
to entertain their friends in a mod
crate way.
A house that is nearly square cuts
up into comfortable rooms to better
advantage than almost any other
house plan. There is a great advan-
tage in square corners that are free
from roof interference, because of
light and ventilation. In northern sec
tons a house that is nearly square
and is built two stories high is easily
heated. There is economy in build
ing after this fashion because the
same foundation wall and the same
size roof covers both floors. Such
houses always look well from the
street. They never go out of fashion.
This house is built of ordinary
two by tours in plank frame construc-
ton manner. The studding is board
ed on the outside with cheap lumber,

1t will be noticed that the space on
the upper floor is practically all util-
lied for useful purposes. There is
very little room taken up in the hall
way. In fact, there is Just enough
wall space to accommodate the diff.
ferent doors opening into the rooms.
The outside appearance Of the
house may be much improved at
slight expense by training climbing
vines against the sides of the front
porch, also the loggia may be deco
rated in the same way by hanging
wire trellis supports from the caves.
The best trellises for climbing vines
are made of square mesh wire fencing
Such trellis supports are good for all
kinds of climbers that hang by ten
drills or by winding about the sup

A pareant for Ak.sar.R

Several times in recent years the question OF
substituting some different form OF amusement
instead of the carnival at Ak-Sar-Ben time has
been brought to the attention of the Board OF
Governors but no definite action has ever been
had on the point The main reason for perpetual
ing the carnival has been that il Is a revenue

arately and as a whole, admit that the carnival
Is not the most desirable form of amusement to
be provided. and yet at a loss for something
that will serve the purpose and produce the rev.

Sar-Ben.
1t was suggested last year that Ak-Sar- Ben
look into the feasibility OF presenting an historic
pageant that would serve as the principal day
light amusement for the festival season. The
Board of Governors made a special trip TO st.
Louis for the purpose OF witnessing the pageant
and masQue given there They admitted being
much impressed by what they saw. but again
returned to the question OF funds. 1t is not
likely that the Board of Governors will feel at
this time justified in assuming the expense that
would attach to the presentation OF so impor-
tant an undertaking as a properly devised and
correctly organized historical pageant and
masque. The Bee. however. suggests that the
matter be given serious consideration Ne
braska history contains many interesting cpl
sodes, which would produce interesting and i'm
posing speetacles. which possibly might be
adapted for a daylight parade. IL the pageant
was not feasible at this time.

Higher Education and the Farm


II is perhaps true that higher education has
made boys and girls dissatisfied with the life on
a farm as II has heretofore been. The sordid
drudgery OF the never-ending round OF toll that
was the lot OF the old-fashioned farmer. who got
little for his efforts beyond a bare existence,
was not sufficiently alluring to hold the am
bilious youth of the country to the soil. They
looked out into the world and saw opportunity
for better and more enjoyable ways OF living
and they sought It. Higher education Is not to
be blamed for this; the condition was due to the
lack of the advantages that have come with the
wider spread OF the broader knowledge Of the
world The university. If It has had any effect
on the movement, has helped TO turn the tide in
the other direction. and is sending back to the
farm young people who better qualified to
meet the conditions OF life and to secure bet
ter living with less OF effort because they have
had the advantages and inspiration that come
from education.
The function Of education is dual: first II
opens up the mind, to the end that an under
standing may be had OF the elements that con-
troll life and shape the destinies OF the race.
Along with this essential qualification is de-
veloped and strengthened the even more neces-
sary faculty OF thinking, OF reasoning, and Of
planning. to the end that efforts will be made
The first service that education brings to It's
possessor is an ability to sustain and enjoy life
under circumstances that become intolerable to
the uneducated man or woman with a mind
broadened and trained by the discipline and
teaching of a modern school Is possessed Of the
treasures OF all time, and has an inherent grasp
OF things that outside the narrow circle in
which the unframed mind must pursue its daily
round With this capacity for enjoyment, the
second service OF education, that Of ability to
plan, direct, and execute, becomes of inestimable
value
Nebraska in common with all the states of
the union, finds that a very large and continu-
ally increasing percentage OF its university stu
dents arc turning TO agricultural and allied pur-
suits The value of the university. the academy
and the high school to the farmer is so great
that special argument on this line need hardly
be made. Any man should be proud OF a son
or daughter who has the ambition to seek for
wider knowledge in the higher schools. and he
ought to be grateful that he has the means to
assist in gratifying that ambition
