tMISFITS' DISCUSSED
BY {. NJ. SANFORD

"The Tragedy of the Misfit" was the
topic of the lecture given Monday af-
ternoOn by C. M. Stanford, morning
lecturer at the chautauqua, in which
the speaker advocated program for
educational reformation through pay
ing more attention to vocational train
ing.
Mr. Sanford urged that educational
institutions should provide experts to
advise young men and women concern
ing the choice of their life's work with
view to enabling them to select the
work best suited to their talent and at
the same time avoid spending time
and money fitting themselves for a
place In an overcrowded profession.
The waste of time and money and
the tragedy involved in a mans having
prepared himself to follow some par
ticular profession only to find that he
had fitted himself for work of ma
ture that he was not so we'll fitted by
nature to do, or that the profession
was SO crowded that he could not find
place to display his ability was dwelt
upon by the speaker, who illustrated
his point by saying that at the present
time the supply of mechanical engi
neers so far exceeds the demand that
many men are entering other lines OF
work after having spent years in per
fecting themselves for this particular
line, while with the same ability and
the same amount of study they could
have become marine engineers, a class
of professional men so small that they

[By Associated Press to The Bannerl
Wooster, O., Aug. 7-Ohio has one
little spot of land so rich that the old

of fertilizer of any kind, the only soil
in the state that has not paid divt
dends from fertilizing, Paulding and
parts of Van Vert, Putnam and De-

The rich spot, however, has been. un-

GUILIO BRAGONE
REAL PUZZLE TO
EXEMPTION BOARD
Claims Draft Discharge And
The Cause Resides In
Italy

The local draft board Is perplexed
Guilio Bragone, Call No. 26, claims
exemption because of dependent
wife. His wife lives In Italy and so
does any head of family who knows
the Bragones and who could make affi-
davit that Guillo is the sole bread
winner. The draft law does not cover
the case.
Incidentally, Guilio took out his first
naturalization papers within the last
fortnight. Had he delayed this several
weeks, the board would not have to
wrestle with his problem.

Pour the scalded milk onto the
cornmeal, fat, sugar and salt. When

good If molasses is used. Knead thor
oughly, form into two loaves, let rise
till light and bake in a moderate Ov-
, en-. The bread will be coarse grained,
but OF nntty flavor, and by pouring
the hot milk onto the meal, the lat

of considerably less flour than Is usu-
ally needed for bread

LITTLE ROCKS BIG
ANNUAL FIRE LOSS

Little Rock has burned up more
than a million, and nearly a million
and a half dollars worth of proper
ty in five years according to figures
published this week for the first
time. The figures were compiled by
the National Board of Fire Proven
ton. The loss per year is $3.50 a
tax of $278o every year on the head
of every family of five. The object
of the fire-prevention propaganda
is to cut down this wasteful fire tax
and save the loss by fire Figures
for the entire state of Arkansas are
not yet ready but the fire loss out
side of Little Rock will probably
show up much greaer per capita than
in Little Rock, which has the advan-
tage of waterworks and high grade
