PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
Fact Shown in Dollars and Cents by
Figures Compiled by Bureau Of
Education.

The value of staying at school Is
stated in dollars and cents in figures
recently complied by the bureau of
education and distributed to boys and
girls throughout the country by the
children's bureau. ra.
From a study of a large number
of actual cases it has been found that
at twenty-five years of age the boy
who remained in school until he was
eighteen had received $1,000 more sal
airy than the boy who left school at
fourteen, and that the better-educated
youth was then receiving more than
5000 year more in pay.
This is equivalent TO an investment
of $4,000 at per cent" the state
ment said. Gan a boy increase his
capital as fast in any other way?
From this time on the salary Of
the better educated boy will rise still
more rapidly. while the earnings of the
boy who left school at fourteen will
increase but little"

In one case the teeth were placed in

washed out the sockets. Then they
were reinserted. 4 stitch or two placed
in the gums and the jaws were ban
daged shut SO that the teeth bit on a
pad of lint. In the other case the
teeth still hung to the gums, so the
sockets were cleaned out without de-
taching the teeth.
In both cases the teeth became sol

them for normal biting a few months
after the accident.

mExlCO'S WEALTH OF SILVER
Aroused Greed of Conqucrors and
Brought Only Bondage and misery

3" Mexico has produced steady stream
of silver ever since its conquest by
Cortez in 1910. But while the supply
seemed inexhaustihle. it brought more
misery than happiness to the nation.
in the opinion of the Salt Lake Trib-
une, because il afforded the incentive
to bring conquerors TO its shores TO en-
slave the people.
The Spanlartls robbed and enslave0
the Aztecs TO control the silver supply.
They blotted out semi-barbarous
civilization that had built great irri-
CATION systems, massive temples and
beautiful cities, and the once proud
and happy people were placed under
the yoke for four centuries.
An almost uncanny gift in ferreting
out the big silver deposits was pos
Sessed by the Spanish governors. The
cost of gunpowder was so high. though
that only the richest finds were
worked. Only ore that produced over
100 ounces of silver to the ton was
mined. II is said that the owner of

arm and then sank its teeth into his
hand. The squire Immediately killed
it by choking it with his right hand
The rat. when later measured, was
found to be twelve inhces long and of
the Norway variety.
