JOB SEEKS SPECIALIST.
Generally Accepted Impression That
College Graduates are Least
Fitted to Demand Jobs is
Badly JOlted.

The generally accepted impression
that college graduates are the most
helpless and least fitted to go forth
from the graduating exercises and
demand job at decent wages is
pretty thoroughly jolted by the an
'nouncement that forty-four members
of graduating class at Ames have
Ialready placed themselves in the
teaching profession as teachers Of
agriculture and home economics. OF
the list nearly two-thirds are girls
who take up teaching domestic econ
moy in schools; the others, men, who
will teach agriculture.
However, the statistics of the
classical course" may not be so
prolific of jobs. Perhaps the old
idea holds good as before in certain
courses. These forty-four know
something better than others. They
are specialists. They were not wait

jobs were waiting for them.
The all around man has ceased to
be success. He has gone with the
cid time mechanic who could do any,
thing from soldering the tea kettle
10 cutting a file or boring a rifle bar
rel. Nowadays enc man does one
thing, another another thing and an,
Their assemblies what the others
make. In the division Of labor We
have become specialists. Perhaps i
isn't as satisfactory in many ways a:
the old style but it is and will con
tinue to be and we might fit our
selves to the scheme of things as u
luck heads against a stone wall
There was never so many jobs wal
ing as are waiting right now-bu
they are jobs for the specially train
ed man and woman. The profession:
discovered this first and the lega
and medical and other profession:
began to split into specialized lines

the same thing. The graduate who
has job waiting impatiently for
him to finish school is he who has
learned one particular thing better
than others know it.
Granted that the college graduate
who has had merely a general edu-
cation is helpless when cast out like
& young bear with all his troubles be-
fore him-he usually succeeds bet
ter in the long run than the une III"
Gated man; but for quick action and
the short way to the ladder of sue

bet. He doesn't wait. We wait for
him and pluck him before he is fair

An Automobile Accident.

Last Thursday evening an acci.
dent occurred at the railroad eros
sing at the Milwaukee depot. Mr.
and Mrs. c. N Houck were driving
their car and touring east on Water
street to go over the tracks, the
train was seen approaching close
by and at the same time Master Ger
hard Casberg came along on his BIZ
cycle, getting in front of the auto,
which knocked him down, but for
Itunately didn't hurt him very much,
receiving a slight cash in the head
1t was one of those unavoidable ac-
cidents, which are apt to occur un-
der such circumstances 1t is for
tunate they got across before the
train reached them.

What Free Trade Always Brings


j. Ham Lewis, who is a senator
from the state of Illinois and dem
Iocraty.>stTange to say, has predicted
that there will be an extra session
of congress and that for the sake of
authorizing a bond issue which will
ultimately amount to 100000, 200.
He overestmated the deficit, but that
there will be a deficit admits of no
reasonable doubt. 1t isn't all due to
the war, either. We have reformed
the tariff and We have reformed It
in such way that it has slackened
activities outside as well as inside
the treasury Office. 1t has. produced
general stagnation as all other tar
ifs formed along the same lines have
produced stagnation. There is moth
ing new in the experiences of the
present. Grover Cleveland had the
same problems to contend with, and
| he increased the permanent debt OF
the nation by adding at least $267,-
100000 to the national debt. When
the republicans came back, under
President Mckinley, they levied an
American protective tariff and we
proceeded to pay off those bonds.
We had just about reached our nor
NAL national Indebtedness when we
have another free trade reform wave
and now We are up against the same
thing.
They will explain ii away and Mr.
Wilson will tell the country that We
Iare just on the eve of another era Of
Iprosperity-we are firmly OF thai
opinion ourselves, but the wave viii
come because the country will at thu
Eearliest time possible return to th'
American policy of the protective
Rtariff, under a republican admins
tration. tgvEsry
And then We Will have money il
1.-The treasury as we-did in the pas
when we paid for the Panama cana
lout of our protectiveE surplus 9Th
surplus that the democrats are Still
living on. And then we viii hav
plenty of work and wages and brea'
and butter for all who are willing T.
labor, too. The jobs will again b
hunting the men instead of the me-
hunting the jobs.

Preventing OdOrs from the Kitchen.
Cabbage, that worst of all often
ders, will not smell If piece of
bread or charcoal is laid upon the
top.
Onions must be drowned out by
using another odor. Powdered ce-
dar wood is the best thing for this.
Sprinkle just pinch upon the range
and let it burn. That's all that is
necessary. If onions are peeled un-
der water, or held under a running
tap, they will not smell nor will
they smart the eyes.
| Fish smells may be eliminated by
sprinkling the range within splut-
tering distance, with LAYER of salt.
When the frying is done, sweep the
salt into the fire. The salt absorbs
1.-THE grease, and prevents the smell.
! |After cleaning fish, remove the
smell from your hands by rubbing
dry mustard upon them.
| Boiling over smells can only be
prevented in one way: By not filling
the. cooking vessels quite so full.

Residence Burns This Morning

The fire alarm was sounded at
four O'Clock this morning and the
department was called to the West
Side to the residence of Christ
Christopherson, which was found to
be in flames. The residence is the
former VIM. Thayer home just OPP
rosite the brick residence of Bert
Ruth, about block and half north
west of the bridge. Mr.. Christie
pherson is a widower living alone
He was asleep upstairs when the
fire broke out, and in coming down
stairs struck his head against some
thing, which rendered him uncon-
scious for a time. Luckily he reviv-
ed in time to escape from the house,
which was entirely Quilted by the
flames. Only the side walls was
left standing. Mr.. Christopherson
was a former resident of Kendall
willie and has been living here for
about two years. The loss is a Sc
we're one, and he has the sympathy
'of all. Most of the contents of the
house was burned.

Carlsons Successful Bidders.

In referring TO the letting of sew

council of Cresco to Fred Carlson,
of DEBORAH, the Times has the fol-
lowing TO say:
This is the first job of paving
in Cresco for the Carlsons but they
have been successful bidders on all
curbing done heretofore. They also
built the water reservoir three years
ago. All their work has been done
satisfactorily both as to time and
quality

FREAKS.

The freaks are not all dead.
The day will never come we sup
pose when this old world will not
have a full supply of freaks.
We condemn some and dignity
Iothers-just why the difference we
do not know.
Some freaks want to regulate so
Iciety and others want to discover the
south pole-the last is the worst OF
the two. The former we dub crank
and the latter a scientist,
Perry says he found the north pole
we don't believe him-but he has
been able to strut little since. In
this and former attempts he suffered
such hardships that his physical pow
ters will never be what they might
have been-for what? SI
What good has the north pole been
to Perry or to the United States OF
to humanity anywhere, or what good
will it ever be? Not one little bit OF
good, Mary Anne.
If you know about the town You
live in and it's people, about your
state, it will be worth more to you
and to those you can help because OF
your knowledge than all the ''scien-
tific research Perry and his ilk have
gathered to mention the men
who have lost their lives following
such freaks.

He admits he lived thirty-nine
days on one dog and for two days
debated whether he would eat his
frozen companion.
All of which is in the interest OF
advancing science"
To repeat it, we probably always
have freaks, but we prefer the suffra-
gette.

Plants That Make Good Hedge.

The most popular shrubs for
making hedges at the present time
are japanese barberry and Califor-
MIA privet. The barberry will grow
almost anywhere and is delightful
the year around, it's bright red fruit
adding a warm note to the winter
landscape which is most acceptable.
Ii needs almost no trimming and It's
prickly spines are not relished by
dogs and other intruders. 1t grows
slowly, however, and for many years
makes only low hedge.
Privet is better when tail hedge
is desired, but privet must be kept
trimmed all summer if it is to look
we'll.
Doubtless arbor vitae is the best
plant for an evergreen hedge al
though hemlock spruce sis decidedly
preferable when the hedge must
stand in partial shade. Both make
fine, strong screens and barriers,
which are quite as effective as fen
ces in excluding unwelcome visitors.
