Value of Education.

Every day spent In school the chill
dren earn 50"
This statement was made by Wis
consin's state superintendent, who
bases his estimate on the official rec
ords of the bureau Of education at
Washington. Here is what he offers
as proof of the statement:
"Uneducated Iaborers earn on the
average $500 a year for forty years. g
total of $4,000.
High school graduates earn on an
average $1,000 year for forty years
total of $4,000.
This education requires twelve years
Of school of $50 days each, total Of
2.lGO days. If 2,1G0 days at school add
$4,000 to the income for life, then
each day at school adds 500
"Forceful as this standardization OK
earnings is said the superintendent.
1t tells but one side of the story-the
money side Back Of this can be seen
improved standards of living more in
teIligent and progressive communities
and a stronger national life. "-Chica-

Captain Waltaker and his crew. of
whom one was F. NJ Eden, young
artist of Amsterdam, who made the
trip to satisfy Il longing for adventure,
started home ON the steamship Nieuw
Amsterdam.
The voyage required eighty-four days
time and was made douhly hazardous
by the fact that the tug could carry
only twenty-seven tons Of coal. Ere
quent attempts TO stop passing vessels
to repleniSh the bunkers failed. Each
time the presence of the small boat in
the path of steamship would send the
vessel zigzagging away in the belief
that the tug might he a disguised sub

Eden, land each time the vessel took
TO light and we could not catch her
although we were badly in need of

The tug was the Fuerta. built by the
Corona or company in its shipyards
in Holland for use in towing oil barges
in the Panuco river In ordinary cir
cumStances the tug would have been
transported dashed to a ships deck, but
the freight rate demanded was deemed
eXorbitant, and Captain Waltaker was
selected to make the voyage with the
tug under her own power.

If anyone has doubted that the
women of this glorious land would
rally to their country's patriotic de-

amiss, for although it was the first
time in the history of the country
that they were called upon for any
such duty, they walked to the front
like a woman.
The Clerks and commissioners were
busy at the school house all day
Wednesday registering the ladies,
and although there YVES q slight con-

long. In a number of instances

LARGE PIG SHOW
BY BOY FARMERS

Judging by the number OF inquiries
received regarding the approaching
event, the exhibits by the Boys Fig
Clubs at the Louisiana State Fair,
October 81 to November s. inclusive,
will surpass all previous exhibitions
of this kind. The former displays by
the juvenile swine exhibitors have
been wonderfully successful and
there Ia every reason to expect that
this years show will meet with great
success. Reports reaching the man,
agement show that many parishes
will be represented with scores of fine
blooded pigs raised by boys on exhibit
ton. Some pigs belonging to girls are
also expected to be shown, as there
are some girl members OF the Pig
Clubs.
A new feature has been listed for
the Pig Club exhibit this year. It is
a Fat Hog class. Plans have been per-
fected whereby many packing houses
will bid on the pigs in this class,
Three hundred head are expected to
be offered for sale. At least five
packing companies have promised to
bid. In addition, the packing plants
have added $3.50 to the premium, so as
to give an additional inducement to
the juvenile pig raisers to have theiI
products at the fair.
Counting the $3.50 offered by thu
packing houses, there will be Sl.25'
awarded for members Of the Pig Clu'
this year. This includes the $1,000 tn
fair association offers for displays II
the breeding class. Some OF the pig
shown in this class, Judging by pas
