ANYBODY CAN MAKE MISTAKES
Everybody Able to BIunder, But Few
Are Willing to Frankly Admit
They Have Made an Error.

Mistakes are things anybody can
make successfully.
have known people, writes Strick-
land Gillian, in Farm Life, who seemed
to fail at every other kind of manu-
featuring who could make as splendid
specimens Of mistakes as one could
wish to see.
Yes, and do It easy!
have made mistakes.
Yep, I have.
used to think I made none.
Now ! list that think as one Of the
biggest mistakes / ever made or knew
about.
These days I find myself wondering
II I am not the fellow who invented
them.
Sometimes a fellow takes a miss
that nobody else would take, and aft
erward finds out II was mistake.
Anybody under twenty never admits
that he has made a mistake.
And he is usually honest about II.
If anything goes wrong, blame II
onto someone else.
After twenty-five he begins to think
Of few he made when he was eleven.
BY the time he is forty-five he will
forget the mistakes he made in early
youth because, in looking back over
the trail, the little ones Of childhood
are completely hid by the whoppers
he has made since he was thirty-five.
l don't know why people have to
make mistakes.
But they are built that way.
I believe l never made the same mis-
take twice.
This encourages me.
For as I look back over a mistake
dotted career believe I have reached
the point at which I cannot make any
mistakes without repeating.
But that may be q mistake.

WOMEN'S COLLEGE

The Women's College of Delaware,
opened IN September 1914, in affiliation
with Delaware State College for men
and was the first college for women
to be established under state control.
This form of organization has particular
advantages at this time when our state
universities and co-educational institu-
ton are being turned into military train
ing camps, because it makes it possible
to conduct the work for women without
any interruption.
In addition to the standard arts and
science course the practical Home Eco
nomics course is given with such re-
quirements as to make it on a par with
other college courses; the Education
courses are given to prepare teachers
for the high schools and the elementary
grades with opportunity for practice
teaching provided by cooperation with
the Newark School. Agriculture which
is already attracting many women as a
war necessity is offered with exceptional
facilities as to instruction in that the
resources Ct the Experiment Station
are available, also the Experiment Farm
of 200 acres with its pure bred herd,
swine, and other animals, its wood-lot
and its orchards, and gardens which
contain some five hundred kinds Of fruit
and ITS experimental plots which demon-
strates many interesting methods of
crop production and the use Of farm
machinery: Drawing, color work, and
design are electives in all courses. No
tuition is required of Delaware students
For these cHtsile tbs State a fee Of
$50. 90 is required. The price for board
is 1850 %. This is maintained with the
.lesire to keep the living expenses as
low as pos ;ible while the instruction
and eauip.nent are of the highest char
sS!.I.

THAT $50 NAG

10 you see that handsome sterper
dashing down the street with Mr.. Vim
yard handling the rihhcrs behind him :?
Fine piece Of horseAesh isn't he {?
Well, Mr.. VInyard picked up that $50
nag for that small sun when nobody
else would have him at any price
Like to own him, wouldn't you, now ?.
So you can, if you're willing t. give
Nr. Vinyard his $500 back~-plus some
$4O0 or $500 to boot
Why can't everybody pick up $500
trotters for $50? Brains and co;s. both
are needed to buy good horsefesh. This
wise connoisseur CT the article simply
does wha: the painter Opie did, whose
t!ne colors were the envy Of all his
rivals. When pressed ior bis secret he
said. II mix my brains with my
paints
Mr.. Vinyard also con3esses to be EN-,
ploying more than dash of The Golden
Rule in handling his four-footea friends,
and this, added to his '.horse sense"
transformed THIS contrary, seemingly
vic;ous neer-do-well $4,000 animal
wanted by nobody. into a high priced
first-class steed any man would be
proud to own.
The Scribe trusts none of his readers
will go off half-cock and buy the Hrst
fair-lcoking horse they come across be-
cause te Is ''airt cheap" He may be
dear even at 5000, like the splendid
looking horse green youth he knew
once bought at a low Agure only to
learn later that he had been ruined
wAsA y colt-snagged in the pasture
field, a bad case of SPAWN resulting |!
So, perhaps, it is net we'll, after all to
try to give 6 recipe for picking up $500
s--7ses for $50.
