ABOUT DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL

About this time many precocious
youths in the early high school age
get to thinking they won't go back to
their studies in the fall. They know
all the book learning they need They
read that Abraham Lincoln and other
great men never had much schooling
Why should they fuss away with books
when it won't help them to make
money? .
And SO our communities are full
|of young people prematurely over their
school days, without any general in
.telligence. If like Abraham Lincoln,
they spent their spare time studying
The great classics Of literature and
experience. there might he some hope
for them But you cant get education
solely out of the movies and sporting
lie
If boy has to quit school to help
his family, he is not TO blame. 1t is
his misfortune for which he is entitled
to pity. But half of those who drop
out do SO because they want to earn
a little pocket money to have good
time with. They limit their possibili.
ties Of future success. and are not
likely to become intelligent citizens.

THE JAMESTOWN PURCHASE
''.. GRAFT 'f

WARRINGTON, June 20-Special-
The house has refused to agree to
the senate's proposal to buy the prop.
erty of the Jamestown exposition for
a naval training station. The proper.
ty was bought in at a receivers sale
a few years ago for $240,000. Its
owners Immediately tried to unload
it upon the government. but congress
has always turned a deaf ear to their
|plea until now, under pressure from
Secretary Daniels and upon the plea
OF war necessity" when it is pro-
posed to pay $1,4OO,OOO for the prop
erty with some more land added, and
to expend the further sum of ST.
100000 in improvements.
| The secretary of the navy has. said
that he will fight the issue to the bit
ter end His determination has aroIs-
ed little surprise in Washington. The
jamestown property Is in Virginia
and the heart of every member of the
administration beats warmly for the
old flag and an appropriation. with
some added throbs whenever the ap-
preparation runs into seven Figures
and is to be expended south of Ma
son ana ONIONS line.
The debate in the house disclosed
not only the eXorbitant price which is
put upon the jamestown property and
the excessive profits which its owners
will realize if the deal goes through,
but it also demonstrated the small
value of the property from strategic
point of view. The exposition grounds
are easily accessible from the sea.
the coast defenses of Chesapeake Bay
are VIGOROUSLY weak. and Il naval sta

able in the extreme. In addition, the
shore front there is of such nature
that it will require dredging oper-
alton extending more than a quarter
fof a mile from theT'land to provide
sufficient depth Of, water for an an
chorage. ~" |S'*
The secretary's passion for James
town is geographically understand
able. Financially and strategically it
has little to commend it. The best
minds of the. navy have long dwelt up
on the ACCESSIBILITY and the desirable

base of the Atlantic seaboard on Mar

"PatrIotism."

A British firm underbid the steel trust on armor-piercing shells for our navy, and got the contract, as 1t should. Immediately a Republican congressman rushes before the house with a resolution stating that 'patri- otism requires that supplies for the army and navy should be man. ufactured in the United States by American workingmen receiving Ameri- can wages"
 Evidently this Republican congress man never heard what the steel trust did to American wages" while it had a chance, nor read its advertisements for laborers: "Syrians, Roumanians and Poles preferred" One can be a better protectionist if he never hears or knows anything, and 1t is surpris- Ing how many achieve merit in this fashion.

QUALIFIED TO LEAD
PRESIDENT WILSON'S GREAT
 ABILITY Is RECOGNIZED.
Largely Through It's Exercise His Party Has Been Able to Put For ward a Magnificent Series of
 Constructive Reforms.

The biggest fact in the public eye of America today is the leadership of Woodrow Wilson. No other president ever rivaled him in the ability to se- cure congressional support, and this in spite of the fact that he Is the head of peculiarly individualistic party, and that his leadership has been put to more terrific tests than those faced by all previous presidents of the last 50 years.
 Foreign relations have been perplex- ing and disturbing to a degree, and seditious and partisan cabals have been formed in congress to embarrass the president or compel him to submit to violations of American rights. They have embarrassed him; but every time the matter has come to a test, Presi- dent Wilson has had the support of an emphatic majority.
 This eminence in leadership is one of the rarest as well as one of the most precious qualities that states man can possess. President Taft lacked 1t; he could hold the allegiance of only small fraction of his party. MT. Hughes as governor lacked 1t alto gether; his stay at Albany was one long factional wrangle. President Will son has 1t.
 Wilson's leadership is responsible for the most magnificent series of con- structive reforms ever put through in this country. Wilson's leadership is all that has kept the land peaceful and prosperous when half the world is in flames. Wilson's leadership will be priceless in the troubled days of in- ahead.

SPRING STYLES IN CHILDRENs DRESSES

 In the picture shepherds check and a plain cloth are presented as sensible models for the demi-season. And even if a decided style tendency develops later on these suits will hold their own, for they are built to fulfill all that is required in practical street clothes.
 Lent is not far away, and that means that time will soon bring leisure to de- vote to spring sewing. New fabrics and styles for the coming season are already presented. Those for children interest the home dressmaker most i; she feels safe in making wash dresses for little girls because they are not subject to last-minute whims of fash ion.

Perkins Describes His Own Work.

If the undertaking and undefiled Progressives of this country are pay ing any attention to George w. Per kins these days, we think 1t must be to laugh.
 He and the Colonel delivered as much of the Progressive party as they could to the Republicans without ask ing terms. The Progressive party would have disappeared from national poli- tics if they had had their way. They played squarely into the hands of the Crane and Penrose crowd and took the beating in November that was the log ical consequence of the unnatural al- liance they formed.
 But now comes Perkins, approved by Roosevelt, and cries out against old guard domination in Republican poli- tics, when, had his plans of last sum- mer succeeded, he would have turned not only the party but the whole coun- try over to the men who now excite him only to holy wrath.
 One wonders whether, if the Repub- lfcans had won the election, Perkins would now be supporting Hughes or calling aloud for his destruction.

YES! MEDICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT
 WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man, Give me small bottle of freezone." This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 A few drops of this new ether com pound applied directly upon tender, aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers.
 This new way to rid ones feet of corns was introduced by Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order small bottle from his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

EXCELLENT RETURNS FROM THE CANADIAN
 WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming Rich on Western Canada
 Lands.

The large number of United States settlers coming to the Western prov inces of Canada are easily explained by the case of MT. c. Lacy, late Of Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
 MT. Lacy came to Canada from Wis consin in the summer of 1914 with $1, 800 available cash in his possession. He rented a half-section of partly i'm proved land in Alberta and commenced summer following. He broke 300 acres with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with wheat. Also he had two COWS and 20 head of young live stock. He was for tunate in buying feed at bargain and managed to rent the adjoining quarter section as pasture.
 A few weeks ago he decided to real ize his profits-and they amounted to S6,OO0 absolutely clear from the crop and the stock.
 W. J. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta, says:
 q landed in Brooks, March 18th, 1916, with one car of household effects, and nine head of good horses, and less than $500 in cash. I have put $1,5O0 worth of improvements on my farm. I have 31 head of cattle, 16 head of horses, debts all paid, new automo- bile, and a good, stiff bank account. At present prices, can cash in for S16,000. I am well satisfied, and ex- pect to double this next year.
 I have threshed altogether 1000 bushels of No. Northern wheat from two hundred acres, which went from A to 56 bushels per acre.
 Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all No. Northern, two thousand bushels of oats, 670 bushels of flax, 700 bush els of barley-aI at market prices we'll, figure this out for yourself at the market price. I sold 3,1O0 bushels of wheat at $1.74%, am holding the re- mainder for $2.OO. Also all the oats, barley and flax for higher prices" Intelligent farming pays always ac- cording to Alex. Wattie, a prosperous farmer. Some figures to prove his con- tention that he has made good" In 1914 MT. Wattie threshed 40 bush els to the acre from a 30-acre crop This sold for $1.6OA per bushel, which after deducting seed, labor, twine threshing and freight, left clear profit of $50 per acre, or a total of $1,5O0 From last years crop of 34 acres, just sold, he received after freight had been deducted, $1,876.94.-Advertise

 For a girl of eleven years or so this combination of materials has been handed with excellent taste in the dress shown in the picture. Cotton pop lin or any of the moderately heavy weaves will prove a good selection in the striped material, and the white in the bodice might be of thinner goods, as India linen or percale or batfste.

 No one knows just why this state oK things has come about, but it may be because no such attention has been given to sports suits and one-piece frocks that the tailor suit has been somewhat neglected by costumers.
