Woman Groeers.

At the Hammersmith CEnglandl Trade School for Girls the education committee has tried the experiment or holding classes for the instruction and training of girls as grocery assist ants. Up to the present the classes have been well attended, and they win be continued as long as not fewer than 25 students wish to take the course Practically every student who has passed through the course has secured a situation in the grocery trade at very satisfactory wages It is hoped that six courses per year will be con ducted, and in future every student will be required to pay a registration fee of Is. on joining the classes. which have hitherto been free. It is reported that among the girls who attend there is, on the whole, low standard of gen eral education, especially in spelling. grammar and punctuation A recon mendation has, therefore. been made to the council that a test in English should be imposed in the case Of girls who do not possess certain qualihca- tions.

Putting a Kick in Cider.

Farmers in a western section of. the country have found a way to beat the local option laws. Thousands of gallons of cider were made in that sec tion last fall, and the farmers have discovered that by running it through cream separator the water is ex- tracted, leaving little but the pure al cohol remaining.
 Its got an awful kick" declared one farmer, who allowed his barrel of cider to sit in the warm November sun for two weeks before giving it the cream separator test.
 Since his discovery others are filling their cellars with jugs of the extracted juice to tide 'em over the winter months.

Sees Good in Incorboration

From last weeks issue of the Snowflake Herald we re- print a short comment on the proposition of incorpora- ting the town of Holbrook. While incorporation had al ready been effected before the Herald reached it's read CTS, it is reproduced here in order that the readers of the News may know that others hold the same opinion of in- corporation as the editor of the News. The article in question follows:
 CONSIDER INCORPORATION
 The citizens of Holbrook are considering incorpora- tion. There are so many things that go along with in corporation as against an "open town that we can harldybelieve that incorpora- tion will be voted down.
 One of the greatest bene- fits to be derived by incor- poration is the way sanitary regulations, traffic and civic government can be inforced.
 No progressive and grow ing town with sufficinet tax able wealth and the popula- tion can afford to do without incorporation.

Howl eermany eets RId of Rats.

German system has been carried out so far that in most cases it has ceased to be matter for remark But how many people know all it's ramihcations say, to the exterminatioa of rats. for instance? Yet, thanks to this self same system, there are practically no rats in Germany, while here in the United States they do S1OO.OOO 900 damage annually.
 As soon as rats appear in building or other place, if ordinary methods fail the police are notified of their exist ence and at once an official is detailed to exterminate the rodents. So closely is the matter followed until the effort is successful that rats are seldom seen No charge is made for the services of the official rat catcher. As a consr quence, there is little or no market rat exterminators or traps in many.

Blurred Speech.

The use of the ungrammatical collo- quialisms of which we are all more or less guilty has deleterious influence on the character. Slang has the same effect. They put a person in rut where one gets along without think ing. But the wrong of the opposite situation reveals it. Take a person who is careful in his speech, who chooses his words and carefully frames his sentences and you become aware immediately of a thoughtful effort, and you feel that there is something clean in the persons mind. And the utter ance Is not only clean, but it is clear and therefore sincere. There is some thing manly in simple, direct expres- sion. You may be sure that ungram- matica1 phrase and suffering slang lack both moral and mental impulse.- Columbus Journal,

Railroad Strike AUerted

The threatened strike of railway trainmen was called off last Monday, a few hours before the time set for it to go into effect. The mediat- ors selected by President Wilson succeeded in obtain ing from the managers of the railroads a concession of all the demands made by the trainmen. A short time lat CT the U. s. supreme court decided that the Adamson eight-b0ur law is constitu- tional.
 The settlement of the strike will cost the public about fifty millions of dollars a year, which vast sum will go to the 100000 trainmen who threatened to strike. The money will be paid to the men by the companies in increased wages, but the people generally will stand the expense, for of course the companies will increase freight and passenger rates.

Carrnnza Elected President

General Venustiano Car ranza was elected president of Mexico last Sunday by a vote variously estimate from 300, ,000 to one million.
 Mexico will now have a constitutional president for the first time since 1911 when Francisco Madero re- ceived more than 300,00Q votes. General Victoriano Huerta called an election in 1914 and declared himself elected but later nullified the election on the ground that an insufficient number of votes had been cast.
 His election to the presi- dency marks the climax to the efforts of General Car ranza, who took the field against Huerta February 19, 1913, after Huerta had seized the executive power. The election was simplified by the fact that there is on vice president under the new constitution.
