No German Rhodes Scholars.

The trustees OF the will of Cecil
Rhodes intend to apply to parliament
for a bill to abolish the Rhodes
scholarships at Oxford allotted to Ger
man subjects. In his will Rhodes thus
refers to the German scholarships:
q note the German emperor has
made instruction in English compul-
sorry i'll German schools. 7 leave five
yearly scholarships at Oxford of 90
pounds (Sl,250) per annum to students
of German birth, the scholars to be
nominated By the German emperor fol
the time being. Each scholarship to
continue for three years. SO that each
year after the first three there will
he Il scholars.
Rhodes explains that his hope is that
IAN understanding between the three
great powers, England, America and
Germany. ''will render war impossible
and educational relations make the
strongest tie.

NAUGHTY WIND.

"The Clothes-Pins on the line" said
Daddy, were having very jolly
time.
"I'll blow those clothes away said
the North Wind.
"'Oh, no you won't said the Clothes
Pins in chorus.
you are only little wooden things
said the Wind. i am strong and pow
erful and can do just exactly as ! like
"'Wen see about that said the
Clothes-Pins
"'You can't see roared the Wind.
He blew around and laughed for all
he was worth.
1.-THE very idea he said. of Clothes
Pins talking about what they can see.
They can't see thing. They must
have eyes if they want to see, and all
the world knows they can't see
snow the Clothes-Pins heard what
the Wind was saying-or at least they
somehow understood.
"They held on to the clothes-line for
all they were worth, and when the
| wind blew they held on all the tighter.
THE clUthes-line entered the game
and tried to keep all the clothes on the
line from blowing too much. But it
was hard work, for the wind was in
deed strong.
! THE Clothes-Pins were working
though They would not give the wind
/ a chance. but held on TO the line and
kept the clothes from blowing away.
Now the Fairies saw that the
| Clothes-PinS were doing their work 50
we'll that they thought they would like
to help them.
"They came flying along, and how
they laughed when they saw Mr.. Wind
| getting angry. For Mr.. North Wind is
such a funny old soul when he is
angry. He gets so blustery and howls
with rage.
THE Fairies all perched on the line
and began to sing:
" 'Heigh-ho. heigh-ho

That the clothes will stay here.

THE ClOthes-Pins did stick to tn,
line and the Fairies helped them sing
ing all the time. The Wind kept OF
blowing and tried his hardest to ge
the better of the Fairies, but he had II,
luck at all. He was in a mschievou

those clothes this way and that. It's
not nearly so much fun to blow papers
as it is to blow Clothes
1T all depends on the way you feel,
North Wind said the Fairies.
The Wind suddenly became very
quiet for he was tired out People said
that the wind had died down so sud
denly, but the Fairies knew the reason
why
after a little while, though, they
said:
"'Now. old North Wind, won't you
blow for good purpose? The clothes
are all safe in the house and we'd
like you to blow so we can have a mid.
night sail on the Woodland Pond. The
ice has gone and we can bring out our
fine sailboats.'
THE North Wind thought about it q
minute. He had been pretty angry
with the Fairies for spelling his game
But then he knew they were right, SO
, after a little he said:
yes, | will give you the wind
| Soon after that the wind began tC

1t seems to be fashionable just now
to scold the American farmer for not
producing more crops, and to urge him
to produce more this year, as patriot
ic duty in time Of war. There need
he no fear that the farmers of the cOun-
try will miss any opportunity to pro
duce all the crops they and their FAM
lies can plant, cultivate and harvest
The prospective price is decidedly at
tractive and is sufficient incentive. But

The Call.

BOYS, the time has come at last.
Drop your dollar mongcring and games,
Put up your dancing shoes and skates,
Cut the cocktail ana the willy Scotch,
The heavy dinner, the rocking cabaret,
The little blonde athirst for glittcring
stones;
Cut those wasted hours with cards
And arguments and songs
The hours are priceless and the time is

When YOU must drop the careless
peaceful pose
And rise as men.

drastic cure
That takes the form of Iron
Get fit. Americans.
And clear your heads of cant
And that dire form of brain anaemia
That some call pacifsm.
Give your mob of selfish politician,
Who grind their axes even III the face

The word that YOU arc those who bear
the names
OF men who lived and served and died
TO put the stars and stripes
Upon your flag.
You are up against it, boys.
But YOU are going to let your fathers

With confidence and pride and Joy
That even in .these careless DAYS
Americans are MEN.

WINTER VEGETABLES.
Methods for Saving and Conserving

sired vegetables as the size OF garden

extra rows of string beans. peas. corn,
carrots, beets, spinach and few ex-
ira tomato plants to produce surplus
for canning.

enough vegetables wasted TO keep the
table supplied all winter il they were

vegetables in such a manner that they

Most housewives can a quantity Of
fruits, iellies and tomatoes, but very
few attempt the vegetables because
