Good and Bad Points.

A man entered a famous restaurant
and asked for coffee After he had
finished his repast he called the waiter
and said: "Waiter. this coffee has its
good points and it's bad points. One
of it's good points is this-it has no
chicory in it." Yes. SIR" replied the
waiter, quite gratifed. Visions of a
handsome tip floated before his minds
eye, and he rubbed his hands glee-
fully. But" resumed the customer,
Its bad point is this-it has no coffee

Older Students Tutor Discouraged
freshmen.

Tutors for discouraged freshmen are
being providing by the Young Mems
Christian association at the University
of Wisconsin in the belief that the
failures of many students are due to
their inability to adapt themselves
quickly to their new surroundings.
About twenty upper classmen have
volunteered to act as tutors, and in all
cases where the freshmen are unable to
hire tutors no charge will be made.
The special stumbling blocks of first
year men, such as mai aematics,
chemistry, English and languages, will
receive special attention.

Polly rose and went softly from

appeared with the sleeping child
pressed to her bosom. Into the
arms of the sick woman, she
placed the little form. With
mother1y instinct, they closed
about him. The child nestled
close with sigh of contentment,

Business Side of Farming.
The work of these agents, how
ever, relates not only to the pro-
duction side but also to the bust
ness side of farming Farmers
on 191 farms were influenced to
keep accounts of their business,
either partial or complete. Three
local cooperative associations
were organized, the value of the
business done by them being ap-
proximately S13,5OO. These were
organized not to compete with
other organizations, but to pre-
vent undue loss by selling or buy
ing in small lots when carload
lots might be handled as well.
Several farmers exchanges
were organized and the value of
the business done by them was
approximately $4,000. One la
Dor exchange organized by one OF
the agents, in cooperation with
commercial club placed 5000 men
with farmers during the harvest
season of 1914. Similar labor ex-
changes were conducted in prac-
tica1ly every county where farm
bureau was at work and many
men were supplied with work and
farmers with labor through them.
When one considers not only
the definite economic value, but
also the educational value of
these things which were done,
and the influence that the demon
STATIONS and the other educa-
tional work has upon the COM
munities and counties where it is
done, it is difficult if not impos-
sible to assign any money va1ua-
ton to these activities. 1t will be
even more difficult in years to
come when every county may
have its own bureau for promot-
ing sound practice in agriculture
and home economics.
What this work will mean to
the wealth of the average farmer,
to the welfare of the average farm
home, and to better living in
every community in the State
would be difficult to overesti-
mate When Kansas is thinking,
something is bound to happen,
and when that thinking is con-
corning the farm, the home, and
the activities of everyday life, the
things that happen will have the
most intimate relation to the well
fare of its people.
To keep studying, keep think
ing, and to stay in the lead seems
to be the aim of Kansas. To do
SO it literally supports the work
of its institutions, helps to make
their influence statewide and con-
siders them the best investment
