ADEQUATE TRACK FOR
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES

In all probability an adequate
track for the use of the high school
athletes will be constructed at the
city ball park. A committee from
the Chamber of Commerce was re-
Gently appointed with full power to
purchase or lease ball ground. and
In case the committee decides to con
tinue the lease on the present ground
which has three years yet to run, it
is planned to construct a one-fifth
mile track around the diamond for
the use of the high school cinder
men. Messrs. Brickner and Scherr
OF the high schol faculty have made
a survey of the situation and report
ed to the chamber that at COMPARE
lively small cost the track could be
constructed. j. e, Lindsay has Of
fered free use of team in case the
Chamber of Commerce will provide a
driver, to work the ground, and Mr.
Sharff of the Warren Construction
company has offered the free use Of
the company's heavy roller.
The members of the chamber
looked with considerable favor upon
the plan, and it is likely that the
$50 lease money for this year will
be forthcoming and the grounds at
once improved.

ANOTHER NAME FOR R0GUERY
Aim of Some People to Acquire Repu
tation for Shrewdness-Novel
Trick OF Wealthy Old Lady.

It seems to be the aim Of some PEG.
pie to acquire a reputation for shrewd.
ness, which in many cases is only an
other name for roguery. Such people
take a delight in trucking their friends
as we'll as enemies, like the wealthy
old lady who occupied her leisure in
making patchwork quilts, which she
regularly donated to the annual church
fairs. They were hideous things, and
as nobody would buy them, they were
apt to be rallied off in ignominious
fashion at the close of the fair, much
to the chagrin of the old lady.
One day, just before the fair time,
this old lady sent for her lawyer, and
had him add codicil to her will, be-
queathing twenty-five dollars to each
and every person who should buy a
quilt at the church fair. The lawyer
assured her that her injunctions to
strict secrecy should be faithfully OBJ
served but it was noticed that a sister
of the lawyer bought the silk quilt on
the very first day Of the fair for six
years.
When the old lady died the lawyer
came smilingly forward with six quilts
and his sister, to claim the sum of
$3.50. But he was tricked in turn, as
the old lady had neatly cut the codicil
from the will

The department of agriculture In

hawks and owls, only four are actually
injurious to crops. One observer tells
us that he has seen with his own eyes
an owl of his acquaintance swallowing
nine field mice, one after another, I'm.
til the tail of the last remained in evi
dence However, in four hours, this
meal having been digested with no ap
parent effort, the owl was ready for
four more mice. The old hawk and
his wife will consume a round dozen
Of mice each during a single day, and
in two months time their youthful
brood will devour a similar quantity
1t has been stated that colony OF
hawks will kill 10000 rodents in three
months time. We I'll know what dam.

PLANT JUICE USED FOR INK
Curious Vegetable Product in New
Granada Known as Ink Plant
Used for Public Documents.

Most Of the inks in use today are
derived from the mineral kingdom
All inks require certain degree OF
skill to manufacture properly. Whether
made of mineral substances or Vege'
table, most of them cannot be used
with much success in the state IN
which they are found in nature.
There is in New Granada a curious
vegetable product known as the ink
plant. It's juice, called chanch1, can
be used, it is said, without any preVl'
Gus preparation.
The letters traced are Of reddish
brown color at first, but turn deep
black in a few hours. This curious
Juice is less injurious to steel pens
than the commercial inks.
These qualities Of the plant seem
to have been discovered under the
Spanish administration. Some writ
ings intended for the mother country
were wet through by sea water on the
voyage. While the papers written with
common ink were almost illegible,
those written with the vegetable ink
were quite uninjured.
Orders were given in consequence
that this plant juice be used for the
inscribing of all public documents.

LANGUAGE OF SEALING WAX
Meaning Has Been Given All coIors
Generally Made, Says New York
Stationery Dealer.

A well-known New York stationery
dealer says that the language of seal
ing wax is late fashionable fad. A
meaning has been given to all the col
ors generally made, and all persons
who use sealing wax on their letters
should be acquainted with these mean
ings, so that the use Of favorite
shade may not be misinterpreted.
In this new language white means
a proposal of marriage, black is a
message of death, of course, and vio-
let signifies sympathy or coincidence.
Chocolate should be used for invita-
tions to dinner, vermilion for business
communications, while ruby-sugges-
tive perhaps of a bleeding hearts
used to seal love letters. Green IS
used to signify hope, brown to tell OF
melancholy, blue of constancy and yell
low of jealousy.
Pink is the proper color for school
girls to use in sending letters to one
another, while matured ladies should
use gray for letters of friendship.

What Is Practical Education?

What is practical" in education!
We cannot accept the answer of the
youth who is taking culture course"
because it is The thing to do. He
muddles through his work, absorbing
only what is injected by forcible feed
ing, explaining in moments OF fancied
sincerity that, since culture is not
practical" il e not worth real work
What nonsense! IN state OF saVagery
nothing is practical that does not sup
port life or save it. In civilization
everything is practical that enables
one to live happily in a complex en-
vironment. The ability to survey a
field is practical, but so in equal meas
ure is the power to reason correctly
fsfn historical analogy; so is the pow
err to enjoy intelligently a good book.
A liberal education, for the right man,
is more practical than any other. And
the right man for a liberal training
is any and every student who Will
profit more certainly by a general edu-
cation in the fundamentals Of living
than by a special training in technical
knowledge.-Henry S. Candy in Har-

Recent Observations Show That Red
Flowers Usually Have Much
Shorter Blooming Time,

It is often remarked that in bowl
of cut flowers containing red and
white roses the white roses will last
much longer than the red. To a GER
tain extent, also, the redder the roses,
the quicker the. petals will fall. Ger
tain species vary, or course, but the
general rule holds true.
For many years it used to be
thought that the principal reason TOT
this was that the white rose and the
light pink rose were harder because
thew we're closer to the wild rose. The
latter is generally a very light pink
in color. But this explanation loses
much of it's point when 1t is remem-
bered how readily the petals of wild
roses fall.
Recent observations show that red
flowers usually have shorter bloom
ing time. This is because they absorb
the ight, whereas white and yellow
flowers reflect it. The red poppy of
the corn fields has very short bloom
ing season, while the yellow poppy OF
the seaside has longer one. The
daisy and the dandelion flourish every
where in the sunshine, but there is
no wild red flower on the lawn.
So, if you wish to wear bouton-
Mere or a bunch of roses at your belt,
let them be white or pink ones, for
these will not drop and fall to pieces
so quickly. Or, if your table orna'
ments are to be roses. let them be pink
or white. They will live for days, es'
pecially if little salt be put in the
water. Thick-feshed flowers, such as
tulips, are naturally less affected by
the sunlight and the red ones will EN-
dure almost as long.
