Some Things Education Does.

Thousands of young people are
now engaged in school work in
high school, academy. college or
university For some of them a
new experience is opening up; for
others the years work is simply
continuation of their training al
ready begun. For all Of them i,
is worth while to consider Just
what it should mean to become
educated, or at least to think
carefully of some things that edu-
cation does not mean.
In the minds of certain young
people there is probably at least
the suggestion of an idea that this
experience before them is going
to lift them above the common
levels of life, pl4cing than at an
advantageous distance from the
uninforned classes. Education to
them is means of relieving them
of responsibility for the lifting of
heavy burdens Theirs is to be
peculiarly easeful life, devoid of
unpleasant tasks.
For such as these the following
questions recently submitted by a
Chicago professor as "Test Ques-
tions os Education may be of
profit. In them are embodied the
true ideals of education. Let those
who have finished their college
courses answer them thoughtfully,
and also let those now engaged in
their work at college give them
consideration as applying to the
activities to which they are now
applying themselves:
QUESTIONS FOR COLI EGE PEOPLE.
Has education given you SYM

you to espouse them?
Has it made you brother to

Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them?

friend yourself?

was spent for the building and main

according to compilation just pub

registered in that year, an increase

Capture of Gen. Won Kluck's old
army of the Aisne is the immediate
object of the sAnglo-French offensive.
General Won Kluck has gone into
retirement, but Won Kluck's corner
at the southwestern curve of the west
ern battle front remains one of the
major defensives of the German hold
ings in France To compel the eva
cuation Of this area under penalty
of capture of Won Kluck's veterans is
the reason why the allies have start
ed their drive so near to the Aisne.
Won Kluck's corner is the Verdun
of the German western front and the
allies are trying to duplicate on a
larger scale the German offensive
strategy at Verdun. An advance of
20 miles to St. Quentin will put the
allies in position to dominate the
principal lines of communication on
which the German southwestern Aisne
army relies for sustenance. The gains
of the French and British have been
due to the intensity of their artillery
fires. The British report that their
casualties have been small and are
unquestionably correct. The big guns
of the allies devastated the German
first line trenches before the infantry
began to move forward. ~.
Now, however, the allies are I'M
questionably facing new German en-
trenchments fully as strong as those
captured It will be necessary to re-
new the strong artillery attack and
when the secondary lines OF defense
are taken, a third and fourth will
remain, to be blasted away before the
infantry can consolidate.
The British have been boarding
their ammunition for year. In fact,
there must lie the hope Of the allies
that the present drive will force the
Germans to retire from the Aisne.

WABASHA COUNTY
This county was one of the
first to be established after the
organization of the Minnesota
Territory in 1849. The trad
ing post from which it re-
ceived it's name dates back
to 1843 and was known for
several years as Gratis Land
ing. In 1S43 it was christen-
ed Wabashaw after Wapa-
shaw, the third Of we'll
known and influential line of
Sioux chiefs. Wapashaw's
band occupied the country be-
low Lake Pepin and his prin-
cipal village was situated on
the Mississippi river thirty
miles below the post. The
name Wapashaw itself signi-
fies cred leaf" and thence
"red hat or cap" The first of
this line of chiefs shortly
after 1853 made a visit to
Quebec and returning wearing
a British soldiers uniform
with it's red cap; whereupon
he was acclaimed Wapashaw
by his people. In pronounce
ing the word the accent is
placed on the first syllable,
the first ga" of this syllable
is sounded as in "father" and
the final "a" as in awe"

PIG CLUBS IN KENTUCKY

A new feature that has been ad-
ded 10 the extension service OF the
College Of Agriculture at Lexington,
Ky, is the work Of organizing pig
clubs among the boys and girls OF
the state. This work is being con-
Quoted in cooperation with the Blu
reau Of Animal Industry, U. s. De-
partment Of Agriculture, they hav-
ing placed one OF their agents in
Kentucky TO organize the clubs. The
agent wishes to begin enrolment
not later than January. Let's not
put this off too late but enroll now
through your County Agent.
The corn clubs have done excel
lent work but il is hoped that the
Importance Of feeding all crops to
live stock on the home farm may
he emphasized in this pig club work
and il would be well IL all members
OF corn clubs would enlist in this
work to improve the number and
quality Of hogs in Kentucky, and at
the same time learn how to make
more rapid and economical gains in
hog feeding. We need more and
better hogs in Kentucky and this is
one way of starting the movement.
Now is the time TO begin.
Object of the Work.
The object Of forming pig clubs
among the boys may be stated as
follows:
4. To stimulate an interest in
hog production and teach the boys
how to raise better and cheaper
hogs by the use Of improved blood
and the growing of forage crops.
2. To increase the number of
hogs raised on the farm in order !
that the meat for the home and that
required TO feed the extra farm labor
may be produced instead of being
bought.
3. To complement the work OF
the boys corn clubs by showing the
boys how they can profitably sell
their corn through hogs.
4. To encourage the home curing
OF meats on the farm.
5. To teach the boys how to judge
hogs and select them for breeding or
market purposes.
6. To encourage the growing OF
forage crops and discourage the use
OF high priced feeds.
7. To instruct the boys in prac-
tical way in the management, feed
ing, sanitation, and prevention OF
diseases of hogs, all OF which in
formation proves valuable with re-
spect TO other forms OF livestock
work.
8. To give the boys a means OF
earning some money for themselves
while at home.
9. To instill in the boys while
young a love Of animals which will
result in their taking more interest
in farm life.
Rules and Regulations.
4. Any boy between the ages OF
10 and i8 years may become mem
her.
2. Each by must secure at least
one pig il he becomes a member OF
the club.
3. Each member must care for
his stock in person, and keep
record Of the feed given and the
pasture grazed He must record the
weight of each pig when it came in
TO his possession and at stated inter- .
walls, so as TO determine the gains.
The date Of narrowing should also be
recorded.
