Would outlaw Canoes.

Burning of the canoes at Camp TEX
akwitha is a good example. The use
of these extremely frail, unstable and
therefore dangerous craft should be
everywhere restricted to expert swim
mers. Any others who go out in them
risk their lives, since the least in
cautious movement Is likely to cause
an upset even when the water is quiet.
While canoes may still be used by
those who are fitted and ready at any
moment to swim ashore, it would be
better if they were put out of use al
together There is always the dan
ger, as long as they are kept at hand
that boys who cannot swim may seize
an opportunity to venture out in them.
They serve no purpose that is worth
while. An expert may derive some
pleasure from padding canoe about,
but to persons who want to enjoy a
ride upon the water they offer neither
security nor omfort.-Albany Journal.

Covering Cream Cans.

A great part of the value of keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery Is lost If the
cream is exposed to the direct rays of
the sun while being hauled from the
farm to the point of sale. Far too
few people stop to realize the impor-
lance of covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town. EX-
pensive jacketed cans are not neces-
sity to keep the cream cool. In sum-
mer weather just an ordinary piece
of wet burlap thrown over the cans
will keep the temperature of the cream
as much as 20 degrees below what 1t
would rise to if left uncovered while
being transported over the average
hauling distance.
