YIELD FOR
DURUM WHEAT

jamestown, Sep. 9.-Forty-four bu-
shells of durum wheat to the acre
from a sixty-acre field threshed at the
Ely Whitney farm south OF James
town is the highest yield reported IN
this vicinity this season and a truly
remarkable yield. The durum was
sown on a field that was summer fal-
lowed two years ago and last season
did not raise a crop because. OF rust,

the abnormal yield this season, the

Don't Believe in Fairy Tales, Girls

man above your own grade in life
who offers you attentions, girls. Nine
ty-nine times out of a hundred he is
wolf in sleeps clothing, and he
has exactly the same intentions to-
ward you as hungry wolf would have
toward a defenseless little lamb.
Another great harm that girls art
less faith in fairy tales does is that in
looking out for the Fairy Prince, who
never comes. they only too often over
look the honest young suitor who Is
on the ground. and who would make
a million times better husband than
any romantic hero. Naturally, IL you
were expecting to suddenly be snatch
ed away from your daily grind to a
state of luxury you would turn up your
nose at the prospect of a little fiat
built for two.
That's why many girl turns
down the good, honest-hearted young
mechanic or clerk, who can offer her
only the love of his heart and the work
of his hands and the chance to build
up in life with him. Her silly head is
filled with fool dreams about being a
millionaire's bride. and by the time
she wakes up from her dream her
chance of real happiness has gone.
Still another harm that believing
in fairy tales does girls is that 1t
paralyzes their effort. Every employer
will tell you that when a woman gets
down to business, and gives her mind
to it, she can cut circles around al
most all of her male competitors. No
body can find out as much about
subject as a woman can when she
really sets herself to investigate it.
Nobody can remember so many de-
tails. Nobody is shrewder than
woman, or loves to bargain better. No
man can be as fanatically intent on
one subject as a woman can be.
All of the special sex peculiarities of
women lend themselves to success in
business; yet, in spite of these qualifi-
cations, women are generally paid less
than men in business simply because
their work is worth less.
And the reason of this is that few
women think it worth while to ever
learn their business thoroughly be-
cause they don't expect to follow it
except for little while. They are de-
pending on somebody else to come
along and support them, and bestow
upon them the money they want, in
stead of earning it themselves.
It's the fatal belief in Fairy Tales
again, and if the time ever comes
when girls realize that there's going
to be no magic wand business in
theirs, and that the only way that
their serge suits will be changed into
spangled robes. and their street car
into a limousine, is by their own good
work, then we shall not have to pass
laws securing a minimum wage for
girls. They'll earn a living salary,
with frills on it, for themselves.

OUR PADDED NEWSPAPERS

It is we'll known that journalism en-
courages superficiality, but perhaps
few appreciate to how great an extent.
Journalism creates superficial readers.
Unfortunately, the immense growth of
modern knowledge in all branches
makes an intelligent superficiality a
necessary requirement of education.
The man who reads line for line and
word for word is in these days
stranded on a desert island, Everybody
must make a dart for useful infor-
nation Wrd snatch it where he can.
But sound mental discipline requires
that this versatility should be tenn
pered by a certain amount of slow,
steady, thoughtful, drudging applica-
ton. Now the newspapers and cur
rent magazines do not encourage this
they do not even admit of it. Who
would plod through a page of a great
daily? Who could? Instead, we are
trained to run diagonally from top to
bottom between two mouthfuls, or in
the midst of an inquiry as to the
neiEhbor's baby. Nothing takes our
attention but what is thrown at IT,;
nothing really stimulates our thought
but a loaded headline or a staring pic
ture.
But here is a strange thing: You
would think this wild hurry of writers
and readers would at least foster one
of the chief literary merlts-brevity.
Quite the contrary. Our newspapers
are one of the wonders of the world
for size-and padding. Why it is that
when most of us want to read only
the headlines, and should apparently
be satisfied with headlines and nothing
else, every newspaper is stuffed with
column after column of amplification
which seems to add little to the few
essential words printed at the top
The reason is obvious. It is precisely
because we have acquired such a
happy facility in the art of skipping
that we are perpetually invited to skip
like little lambs. I want to satiate
myself with baseball. you with the
cotton market. Jones with politics.
Mrs. Jones with murder. We can each
of us make perfect brevity of the 9TH
ers' interests. But brevity for the pa
per as a whole would be quite out of
the question.-Gamalie Bradford, in

MINING NOW BEING
TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
More Than $500 Students in
Pennsylvania Coal Regions At
tend Night Institutes

The fifth annual reports of the
Mining Institutes in the Anthracite
Region, which are conducting Mining
Schools at night, under the direct
control of the local Public School
Boards, have just been completed by
the Presidents and Secretaries of
these Mining Institutes, and have been
compiled and arranged in a compre-
hensive and combined report by
Charles K Gloman, Chief Clerk of
the Susquehanna Coal Company,
Wilkes Barre, Pa, and this report has
been made public by the companies
which have taken an especial interest
in this work.
This is the second season of direct
control by the Public School Boards
and of direct cooperation by the
State Department of Public Instruc-
ton, with the continued moral and
financial support of the operating coal
companies, and the wisdom of this
method of control has been amply
proved.
With advisory committees repre-
senting both the employers and en-
ployes to cooperate with the public
school authorities the three elements
are united which assure the present
and future success of the schools.
The needs of the employe and the
needs of the employer are thus COM
bined with the knowledge and exper-
ience of the educational experts. The
best proof of the success of this COM
bination is that eleven of the students
passed the State examinations for
mine foremen and forty-four students
passed the State examinations for as
sistant mine foremen this year, and
the total number of students has in
creased enormously.
More than $500 Students
There were over $500 students en-
rolled in the schools of the Nanticoke
Mining Institute, the Shamokin and
Mt Carmel Mining Institute and the
Williams Valley Mining Institute in
the season which ended this spring,
and the aggregate membership of
these Institutes was 2296. The fol-
lowing table shows the remarkable
growth of the first two Institutes and
their schools since they were founded
in 1910:

A CALL TO MEN

What we need just now more than
we need big guns and big ships and
shells that weigh more than a ton is
good, strong, earnest men, men who
will carry on the farm work lust as
faithfully as they would manage a
great factory or follow the flag into a
strange country.
The men whose name we bear drove
back the great forests with their axes:
they travelled roads marked only by
blazed trees; they rode on a sled
drawn by oxen to mill and to church
they fought wildcats. bears and pan
thers; they ate coarse bread made of
cornmeal, and they put this country
where 1t is-at the very top of all the
nations of the earth
Your battlefield and mine lies right
where that of our fathers did; but we
have a different work to do.
Our task is to make the farms bet
ter, to help the world to live better
to keep the country they made al
such great price clean and honest and
true, and to put our hand under the
arm of every poor fellow that is hav-
ing a hard time. And this is a chal-
lenge to the very best there is in us

CITIZENS COMMENT FURTHER
ON THE CITY IMPROVEMENTS

Senator f. L. BeidIeman made the
following statement:
Harrisburg is the best city in the
State and she has been made so by
Nthe municipal Improvements of the
past ten years. 1t is a pleasure tc
meet the many people from other
places to have them tell us how pro-
gressive we are and their desire to fol-
low our example. Instead of the OPP
position we had at the outstart, we
now find our people eager and willing
to make the city a bigger and better
place in every way"
DR.. William L. Wright, prominent
physician, expresses the hope that city
government will in time come to be on
a par with the quality of the improve
ments. He says
''I suppose no person has a better
opportunity to observe the good and
the bad things about a city th"n a
physician who travels its streets from
end to end during the entire year
Looking at Harrisburg to-day and re-
membering what she presented several
years ago makes one feel that some
where within her walls there is a
source of much energy, producing
great things which can be equally en-
joyed by all of her citizens. l am
certainly in favor of a greater and
more beautiful Harrisburg, but above
all I should like to see these mag
nifcent improvements topped by a
government which the city can boast
of with as much pride as she does of
her recent improvements"
Rnbarf a Endope
mer president of the West End I'm
provement Association:
ct am tremendously enthusiastic
over what has been accomplished in
the way of public improvements in
our city within the last fifteen years.
TT is only proper that we should
give a public demonstration in honor
of all the good citizens who have
given their time. means and encour-
agement to the splendid improvements
achieved.
"I believe there is great future
for our city beautiful and the cele-
bration in honor of that which we
have accomplished will put into us the
high spirit of determination to con-
tinue the good work"
Arthur d. Bacon, president of the
Rotary Club:
II am pleased to contribute my
praise of Harrisburg and rejoice in the
celebration planned by the Chamber
of Commerce to memorialize the con-
clusion of the 1901 program of mu-
n!cipal improvements.
Have you ever watched an insect

If I could say one word more earn
Sst than any other to working girls,
i. would be this:
DON'T BELIEVE IN FAIRY
itALES, GIRLS.
$'he story of Cinderella and the
FAIRY Prince is fiction. 1t never hap
t'sns in real life. 1t never happened
eo any girl. 1t assuredly is never going
20 happen to you; so get the silly idea
out OF your head and get down to the
real business of life.
Do you know why the working girl
so easily falls a victim to the wiles
of any well-dressed man? 1t is be-
cause she still believes in fairy tales.
She really lives in a romance that
she makes up for herself In it some
God-like male creature, who is a hap
py combination of a matinee hero and
philanthropic millionaire catches a
glimpse OF her at her counter, or in
her cashiers wicket, or over her sew
ing machine, and he falls madly in
love with her, and marries her, and
takes her off to live in a golden palace
In Fifth avenue. and she becomes a
society queen, and has her pictures in
the newspapers every day.
That's the stuff the working girls
dream is made of, and she s so anX-
ious to find this Fairy Prince that she
hts his cap on every man she meets
who looks like what she considers a
swell. He doesn't even have to be a
deep, dark, subtle villain to deceive
her She deceives herself into be-
lieVing that a street Irritation means
an overwhelming passion that she has
inspired in the mans breast; and that
few JOY rides and a dinner or two at
a restaurant, and a summer excursion
mean marriage in the end.
Many a girl has wakened up from
her dream of the Fairy Prince to wish
that she had never been born. and to
ind that her hero had just been
amusing an idle hour with her, and
when he had tired of her, had thrown
her aside like a broken top, careless
whether he had wrecked her life.
Quit dreaming girls. Wake up and
face the truth, and that is that men
rarely marry out of their class. They
may find the working girl pretty, and
piquant and her very unconventional
ity diverting, but when a man of fam
lily. and wealth. and tradition mar
ries he almost always picks out for a
wife woman who knows how to give
dinners, and run an establishment, and
who can add her fortune and her So
cial prestige to his.
OF course there are exceptions to
this rule. but the average working girl
has Just as much chance to be elected
