WORDS TOO OFTEN CONFUSED
Excellent Point Made In Emphasis Of
Difference Between Training"
and Education"

The difference between training and
education was well expressed by DR..
G. Stuart eager In his address to the
graduating class Of the school Of hor.
tlculture for women. when he said:
Cloth would be spun on hand looms
today had no other factor been intro
duced into spinning than the instruc
-iion Of daughters by mothers. This
kind Of instruction does not make for
progress; II can never convert trade
Into profession. The spinning Jenny
was not invented by spinner. nor the
wireless telegraph by a telegraph
operator, nor the science Of agronomy
by practical farmers.
Progress depends upon fullness
Of preparation exceeding the limits Of
anticipated requirement In practice
That Is why | have never liked the

tween training and education. Mont

There were 81 such applications DUR
ing the month Of August alone
The applications, indicate a -four
ishing financial condition over the
entire country, come from over the
states in the following proportion:
from Montana, 26; from California,
2l; from Texas and Kansas, each II !;
from Oklahoma, 16; from Minnesota,
IL; from South Dakota, IL; from
Pennsylvania and New York, each
10; from Illinois and Colorado, each
s.; from Idaho, North Dakota and
South Carolina, each Z; from Massa-
chusetts, 6; and from New Jersey,
Virginia and Arkansas, s each.
These figures represent an increase

sQUATTERs MAY
NOW FILE ON LAND

The opening OF the lands of the re-
Gently surveyed townships makes It
possible for the numerous persons
living on them to make proper filings
on the land.
These filings will not be received
until after the 2Sth. but papers may
be prepared at any time now and
have them ready for filing when the
time comes.
y. s. Commissioner Stanley was
in Raymer Tuesday and made out
several of these papers, and he will
be here again next Tuesday and a
week from next Tuesday
II is much easier and more con-
venient to have the work done here
than to get your witnesses and go to

". A. HELMANN BUYS
STERLING GARAGE

w. A. Helmann has just closed
deal by which he becomes owner OF
a garage in Sterling and tells us that
he expects to move there at once.
The garage is new one and Mr..
Helmann will handle three of the
well known makes OF ears. the Oak
land. Paige and Chrevolett.
We don't like to report that sort
OF news, for Mr. Helmann is the type
OF business man we like to keep in
our midst, hustler and booster
of the sort that makes good for him
self and always wiling to help along
with time and money anything for
the public good.
For purely selfish reasons we re-
gret to see him go, for Mr.. Helmann
is our heaviest advertiser. and few
drops of that sort would make us
feel like initiating the Pierce paper,
hunting a job and give the paper
away, if anyone would take It.
However, we hope that Mr.. Hell
mann finds his latest change a profit
able and pleasant one. Sterling Is
not so far away that he cant come

THRILL IN sWo0P OF HAWK
Pity for the Victim Cannot Altogether
Overcome Admiration for
Bird Of Prey.

Although the hawk undoubtedly has
a right to his dinner. there is frequent
ly little sympathy shown for the bird
OF prey. but much for the victim that
furnishes forth the feast.
II Is a thrilling sight to see 6sh-
hawk. sailing hundred feet or more
above a rapidly flowing stream. sud
denly bring his wings nearly together
above his back and fall like a plummet
to the water below. The action is rapid,
the wings are In motion by the time
the water Is reached. and out OF the
spray emerges the hawk with fine
fish In his talons, to be borne away to
the accompaniment of flashing drops
thrown from the struggling fish.
One day on suburban lawn a mother
oriole had coaxed youngster out Of
the pendent nest. hung on the extreme
end Of a branch where no enemy could
find entrance. just as the little one
was making the acquaintance OF all
outdoors, a sharp-eyed hawk saw the
newcomer. and in an instant the oriole
was taking his first and last fight In
the possession of the hawk, while the
mother flew alongside pouring out her
heart In rage and pain. Thus they
passed our Of sight.
The strength of the hawks foot ID
remarkable. Some years ago a hunter
shot hen hawk Of large size, breaking
wing. Down came the hawk and the
hunter advanced TO secure the chicken
thief. The wounded bird made no at
tempt to run, but faced his foe. When
few feet only separated them he
jumped and attempted to fasten his
tnlons In the hunters foot. A pair Of
heavy hunting boots were nearly cut
through as the sharp claws slipped OF
the nstep. Had the hawk rot fair
hold the foot would have been pierced.

HAD ITS ORIGIN IN PERSIA
Word "check" Can Be Traced 70
Term Employed In the Ancient
Game Of Chess.

The historical adventures Of the
word "check" give an interesting ex-
ample Of how q common term has
gained its present meaning.
It comes originally from Persia, and
is associated with the game Of chess.
A shah Is q Persian king. and centu-
rles ago the word shah, or something
like It, was used to designate an at
tack upon the king In chess. Under
the influence Of the medieval Latlnist
the word underwent curious change
to "scaccus" and later passed into old
French as "eschec" or "eschac." From
the French 1t was but step through
the Norman tongue Into English as
"check" or "cheque."
After Its form was established the
meaning Of the word began to extend
from formidable move In a game Of
chess to any stoppage or rebuff Of
something In progress, and gradually
II came to designate anything which
controlled or restrained anything else,
and 20 came to mean token or ticket.
In the early days Of drawn notes." or
drafts. the counterfeit or stub In the
book was called a "check." About the
beginning Of the nineteenth century
the word became synonymous with
draft, and some forty years ago was
established as the statutory definition
for "a bill of exchange, drawn on q
banker, payable on demand"

Booster ladies have endeavored to
furnish the town with high grade
entertainments.

the pianist and singer would have

sorry that 90 many Of them were un-
able to hnd seats. but that condition
will be remedied by the addition OF

A GOOD TIME TO WORK
next YEARS GARDEN

A certain amount Of preparation
made now will materially add to
the productivity OF the home garden
next year according to r. A. McGin-
ty. of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege, who says:
"The red berries on the asparagus
plants show that the latter are ma
ture and that they have served their
purpose Of storing in the crown OF
the plants an abunance Of food for
next years crop. They may be cut
and burned at any time now.
"A mulch OF manure spread over
the asparagus bed will help to pre-
vent heaving of the plants during
the winter and serve as a valuable
source Of plant food next spring
"All the rubbish around the gar
den should be collected and burned
or placed In a pile to rot. In about
two years this rotted material will
be fine for using in hot beds or cold
frames or spreading over the garden.
"A good application Of manure
should be spread over the garden
and plowed under before the ground
freezes. This will make 1t possible
to put the ground In good working
condition very early in the spring
and enable the early vegetables to be
started promptly and easily"

Of the Atlantic coast red sails have

Caesars opinion was that they knew

TELEPHONE CASE
IN COURTS HANDS
Attorney General Schaffer
Holly Attacks Federal Pol
icy in Closing Speech

The States action against the
Bell Telephone company for in
creasing rates, as ordered by the
postmaster general, is in the hands
of the Dauphin county court 1t
was submitted shortly after 8
O'Clock last evening, after an argu-
ment that was marked by sharp
criticism of the federal authorities
and a plea to the Dauphin county
court not to interfere with the ma
tional government.
The orders for increase of tele-
phone rates in Pennsylvania were
declared by Attorney General
Schaffer to be unwarrantable exer-
else of authority even under the
presidential war powers and TO be in
effect an attempt to raise revenue
Notwithstanding the fact that the
right of taxation is expressly reserv-
ed to the states. The Bell counsel
contended that the company was
merely an agent, and made plea
to the judges not to bring the state
courts into conflict with the Federal
courts when the war was not yet
ended. The United States govern
ment held through United States
District Attorney Burnett that the
Dauphin court was without juris-
diction in the case but did not inter-
vene.
At the close of almost four hours
of argument, which was among the
most interesting in the Dauphin
court in years, President Judge
Kuhkel directed that briefs be filed.
The State secured a preliminary In
junction q week ago, and asked that
it be made permanent on the ground
that the advance in rates could not
be considered an exercise of war
power, as there was no emergency
