Not as Green as He Seemed.

Several young society girls" of Co
lumbus, Ind, went camping near that
city last summer. They wished To do
something shocking, so they picked out
a young man who was plowing in a
neighboring field and. "made eyes" at
him. The young man blushed and
grnned. The girls grinned and blushed.
The man was chief engineer of Il rid
ing plow and one of the girls asked for
permission 10 ride with him. They had
Il good time with the supposed young
farmer and the field was soon plOwed.
The girls confided to each other that
he was very nice fellow, "if he wasn't
so terribly green" The young man
didn't seem To have been anywhere and
they told him great deal about the
wide, wide world. Recently the girls
learned that the young farmer lives
in big city. knows all about the white
lights and can call show girls by their
first names He is q plow salesman
and was running the plow just TO get
some actual experience TO use in his

Says College Women VIII
Have Big Part in the Work
Of Rebuilding the World

Any young woman who neglects the
opportunity in this war time to pre-
pare for the rebuilding of the world
will be a world Stacker, in the opinion
of Miss Ada Rice, secretary of the
Kansas State Agricultural College
Alumni association.
Miss Rice points out that at the
close of the war there must be re-
building of national and international
life. This will call for the best quail
ties of leadership and the best train
ing, and in this work the college wom-
an can play part of great Importance.
College women must not wait until
the end of the war for service, how
ever, states Miss Rice. The time is
now at hand" she declares, when the
world must depend upon woman for
carrying forward progressive move
ments." She urges college women to
take an active interest and perform
active service in the big movements
now in progress.

NEW METALS BEING SOUGHT
Manufacturers Looking for Substitutes
for Those Now Used Because OF
Advance in Prices.

The recent advance in price OF many
Of the more commonly used metals has
led manufacturers TO adopt or consider
the adoption of various substitute
metals or alloys for certain purposes
The advice of the bureau of standards
has frequently been sought in this con-
nectiOn. An interesting field of inves-
tigation is opened up by such inquiries.
1t appears that the metals tradition
ally and currently used for various
articles are in many cases no better
adapted for the purpose than others,
and a slight difference in price would
warrant n substitution. Ii is not usu-
ally possible however, TO suggest sub
stitutes Offhand. as there are many
factors involving manufacturing pecu-
liarities, durability and other physical

How Fish Are Counted.

The Wood river. in Alaska has been
closed TO fishing for many years and is
resorted 10 for breeding purposes by
red salmon escaping the nets in Nu-
shagak bay. The counting of the sal
mon was first undertaken in 1908 and
has been continued annually since that
time except in 1914.
The counting is made possible by
throwing Il rack across the stream and
compelling the fish To pass through "A
narrow gate where they are easily vis-
ible To persons Immediately above.
Agents OF the fisheries bureau In relays
are kept on duty day and night for the
entire period of the run. and the tally
is kept by an automatic counting de-
vice manipulated by hand.
The highest count for any one day
In recent years was 25.554.

Suddenly he stopped, with the hat still

nothing. He would wait for her to

As he entered the room he observed

This is the way TO build IT:
Make a screened case 31a feet high
with the other dimensions u by 10
inches. If solid top is used, simply
place the water pan on this. Other
wise fit the pan closely into the open
ing OF the top frame and support Ii
by one-inch cleats fastened TO the in
side of the frame. Place two nova
bic shelves in the frame, II to Is
inches apart. Use biscuit pan II by
ii inches on the top to hold the wa
ter, and where the refrigerator is TO
be used indoors have the whole thing
standing in a large pan TO catch any
drip. The pans and case may be
painted white, allowed TO dry, and
then enameled. A covering of white
canton flannel should be made TO fit
the frame. Have the smooth side out
and button the covering on the frame
with buggy or automobile curtain
door may be opened without unfasten-
ing these hooks. This can easily be
done by putting one row of hooks on
the edge of the door near the latch
and the other just opposite the open
ing, with the hem on each side ex-
tended far enough to cover the crack
at the edge of the door, so as TO keep
out the warm, outside air and retain
the cooled air. This dress or cover
ing will have to be hooked around the
top edge also. Two double strips one
half the width of each side should be
sewed on the top of each side cover
ing, and allowed TO extend over about
21a or inches in the pan of water.
The bottom OF the covering should ex-
tend into the lower pan.
Place the refrigerator in a shady
place, where air will circulate around
1t freely. If buttons and buttonholes
are used on the canton flannel instead
of buggy hooks, the cost will be re-
duced.

about giving up the search. when he

them. They all began: Dearest"

breathed the tenderest, most undying
devotion. He put them in his pocket

of several months back, but the post

only about two days before the day he
had found the man with his wife. No
