URGES HIGHER
EDUCATION
OF WOMEN

The numerous exercises Of the an
nual commencement at st. Mary's
College and Academy, Notre Dame,
Indiana, recently opened with the
public reading of the graduating es-
says and poems by the students who
are finishing their high-school
course. Besides the faculty and stu.
dent body OF St. Mary's. there were
present members of the faculty of
the University of Notre Dame. and
many relatives and friends OF the
graduates.
The closing remarks were made
by the Rec. J. L. Carrico. C. s. c..
of the University OF Notre Dame,
who said, in part:
IL should like to urge you, young
ladies, not to make the mistake of
disseminating your education. Re.
turn to school in September, II 1t is
al all possible. and take a full col
lege course. Many do not believe
in the higher education Of women,
but there is just as much reason for
the higher education OF woman, as
there is for the thorough education
of man. Education OF the right
kind. of the kind that Mt. Mary's
affords, must in the very nature OF
things make the woman more wo-
manly. more potent for good. more

The ,Freeman,Tri asked sone of

The ,Freeman,TTibune asked sone of
the gentlemen who spoke at the chau-
tauqua here if he knew what compen-
sation Mr.. Bryan received. He re-
piled that he did, saying that Mr.. Bry-
an gets $3.50 and half the gate receipts
for each address. Mr.. Bryan insists,
too, upon making two addresses day,
hence his income from chautauqua
addresses must be from $500 to $1,000
per day. Yet this is the man who told
the people here that the press is sub.
sidized, intimating that the newspa-
pers are supporting the preparedness
propaganda because they have been
bought. Mr.. Bryan declared that the
advocates of preparedness are for pre-
paredness at so much per prepare. On
the other hand Mr.. Bryan is against
preparedness at the price he demands.
1t is doubtful if any of the big news
papers-even ii they are all dishonest
and have sold their soul to the NUM-
lions trust-get for their services from
500 to $1,000 per day. The Freeman
Tribune is not complaining of the pay
Mr.. Bryan gets, but it does resent his
insults to the press and so far as this
paper is concerned it has just as much
confidence in the integrity and hon
esty of the men who conduct the big
of the country as 1t has
in the men whose business is making
public speeches for pay.-Webster

From the North Branch Review, pub

concerning former Kiron people: The
Editor and family had the pleasure to
visit Sunday at the beautiful farm

Washington Prairie. Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam Ward and Mr.. and Mrs. Gust Mey-

neighbors of the Sprogan family at
Kiron, Iowa, were also there and a
very pleasant day was had. Mr. SprO-
gan took us for walk through his
vast fields of grain ANDY corn, and if at
first we thought he showed an undue
amount OF pride, we were soon ready
to forgive. however, for he certainly
has the finest crops we have seen in
many years. He has field OF corn that
is farther advanced than at this time
in the most favorable corn year and
is equal to any ever seen in the great

The engineering authorities at Iowa

that some department of the college

ing, has issued an authoritative denial
of this. ... A.
"There is no department OF Iowa
State college that would recommend
cement floor made from mixture CT

recent letter in answer to one OF the
numerous inquiries that have come to
him. 1--WE would thank you very much
if you would tell us where you read

The wearing qualities of any con-
crete work would depend upon the
hardness of the materials mixed with
the cement. For this reason quartz
sand is always considered the most de-
sirable. Where floor less firm than
concrete is desired, paving blocks OF
some form of asphalt construction is
sometimes used.

Flowing Keeps Dust Mulch.

go out into your corn field these
dry, hot days with your pillow and keep
it there" is the advice of the soils
men at Iowa State college to farmers
who want to know whether it pays to
pillow in dry weather. 1t does pay,
these men say, and the wise farmer
will keep the pillow going just as long
as he can.
After the stand is too high for a
two horse pillow, it is worth while to
go through the rows with one horse
and light cultivator. Some farmers
drag the space between the rows with
an old mower wheel. If good dust
mulch is kept on the ground, there
need be no fear from drought and a
good crop Of corn will be assured.

Like It's Done at School.

When rural school teachers come TO
Iowa State college to take work in ag-
riculture in the summer school, they
are not permitted to make use of the
facilities of the big laboratories In
botany. soils and farm plants. These
laboratories are as we'll equipped as
those in any agricultural college in the
world, but when the country teachers
are around all the expensive equip
ment is kept under lock and key.
The college instructors are not
afraid that the country teachers will
not handle this equipment with care.
1t is because they want the teachers
to secure their training with exactly
the sort of equipment that they will
have to work with back in the little
rural school.
So with lamp chimneys instead Of
imported test tubes, used tomato cans
instead of delicate beakers, a common
pair of balances such as a farm wife
uses to weigh her butter on instead
of balances costing from $50 to 5000
with home made rack for holding
the lamp chimneys and few other
such pieces Of apparatus, the rural
teachers work out their problems in
soils. The whole set Of apparatus
could be bought at village hardware,
dry goods and drug store for Sc or 81
and could be setfup in any country
school in the state. ~
In the class in farm plants, in which
over 200 are registered this summer, a
cigar box, few jelly glasses, some
farm seeds, All ordinary pocket knife,
a 80 cent hand lens, some grating
wax and some small scales serve for
