squire simpsons Idea Endorsed.

About the time We Went into the
war Squire c. y. Simpson advanced
an idea which is taking root in the
country now. Knowing that there
were likely to be lot of physically
disabled men after the war. and
knowing also that the ranks of the
teaching profession seemed TO be al
ways thinning out. especially so far
as men were concerned. Squire Simp-
son proposed that preparation be
made at once to take the men who
came back wounded and who wished
TO prepare themselves for self support
by adopting new profession ana
send them TO school, al least those Of
them who needed additional educa-
ton. at government expense and pre-
pare them for school teachers. This
would not only give them useful
profession and make them self sus-
tanning but would give an immense
body of specially trained men to The
schools of the country at time when
they are so much needed This idea
is growing. On the subject the New
York Herald says:
Public educators are looking to the
returning disabled heroes of the war

is well fortified by their arguments
and by the facts
Every man who went to war was
more or less well grounded in the
fundamental requirements of teach

sharpened his desire to play a great

and progress, and led by travel and
experience to increase his assets for
educational work. OF these he has
too often never taken stock. The
trained educator, however. looking
for the stuff from which teachers
come and for whom the country is
crying do well in not overlooking the
prospect of some rare finds in this
promising material
No calling seems shorter of help

Another BadFire
at Chemical Plant
Two Warehouses With Acetate
Destroyed, Thursday.

., The East Jordan Chemical Plant
suffered another serious fire loss
Thursday noon when warehouses Nos.
Three and Four were destroyed to-
gether with large quantity OF acetate.
These warehouses were new ones,
No. being constructed this spring and
was full OF acetate. No was in pro-
cess OF erection, work OF putting on
the roof being in progress at the time
of the fire. The big stock OF acetate
contained in warehouse 3 ignted and
is still burning-it being practically i'm
possible to drench the fire out. When
the blaze first started the chemical
wood piled nearby was ignited from
live cinders and workmen were kept
busy extinguishing these blazes. A
string of E. j. & S. X. r. logging cars
were directly in the path OF the blaze
and were saved by prompt action Of
the railroad employees.
just what the total loss will be is
hard to determine at this time but it
will be considerable.
This is their second recent loss, a
fire on Tuesday, June oath destroying
the tar tanks aud gas scrubbers entail
ing loss OF several thousand dollars.

NEW RUBBERS ARE SAID
ESSENTIAL In CANNING.

East Lansing, Mich, July lst.-"It is
poor policy in home canning to use
rubber jar rings second year. de-
clares Miss Anna b. Cowles of East
Lansing, State Leader OF Girls Canning
Clubs. New rubbers of good quality
are absolutely essential for consistent
success in canning. Metal tops should
also be inspected carefully, as they
must fit perfectly.
Even a new rubber is not necessarily
good one, for there are many rubbers
OF poor grade on the market today. Miss
Cowles gives the following tests for an
acceptible rubber ring:
/. A rubber should stand a reason
able amount OF stretching and pulling
without breaking and should always
return to its original shape.
2. A good rubber will not crack or
show results after being pinched be-
tween the thumb and fore finger.
3. For pint and quart jars rubber
should be 5-16 of an inch wide, 1-l2 of
an inch thick, and have an inside di-
ameter OF IA inches.
4. Color is no index of quality. Good
rings can be either red, white or black.
Full information on canning subjects
may be had by writing to Miss Anna b.
Cowles, State Leader Girls Clubs, East
Lansing.

Cookie BURR, LONG
PEST, FINDS ITS use
Yields Valuable Oil for Paints and
varnishes and Adaptable
for Food.

Out Of the cookie burr, which sticks
to the clothes of the passer-by and has
generally been considered a pest, is
now being made q new and valuable
oil valuable for use in paints and var
nishes and adaptable for food.
The details were explained by L. B.
Rhodes, oil chemist of the North Caro-
lima department of agriculture, In an
address delivered In Raleigh, N. c., be-
fore the North Carolina section Of the
American Chemical society.
"The cookie burr" said Mr.. Rhodes,
"familiarly known as the clOt burr, Is
q coarse plant, with rough leaves and
prickly head. 1t Is widely distributed
through the United States, SO that 1t
Is more or less of q nuisance In most
localities and Is very abundant through
out the South. If the burrs could be
obtained Systematically in sufficiently
large quantities they could be easily
milled.
"Those which I have gathered" con-
tinued Mr.. Rhodes, "were either dry or
In a half dry condition. They were
first cut In half by trimming board
and the kernels mashed. The ground
kernels were then wrapped in cheese
cloth and pressed between cold steel
plates.
"The oil thus obtained was allowed
to settle for three or four days and
then filtered. Ii is Of a light yellow
shade, has clear sparkling appear
ance and a pleasant odor and an agree
able nutty taste. 1t keeps we'll with
out becoming rancid. On account Of
this quality 1t should eventually be
used as a substitute In the dietary for
other vegetable oils.
"The press cake left after express
in the oil should be Of value as food
for cattle and certainly 1t can be read
fly used as a fertilizer"
The yield from the kernel Is about
80 per cent and the kernels constitute
about the same proportion Of the bulk
of the crude burrs. The press cake
contains about 40.34 per cent OF
protein.

SPEND WHAT WE DON'T SAVE
Michigan War Savings Organization
Trying to Reverse General
Practice.

Most Americans have been living on

tion for Michigan is trying to induce
the people of the state to transpose
two words In this phrase and make 1t
spending what we do. save"-tO
promote wise spending intelligent saw
ing and safe Investment. On the
subject Of wise spending the treasury
department says:
"This means spending preceded by
thought. 1t implies the balancing Of
all needs, present and future, and Of
the means of meeting these needs, and
then spending In such way as to
meet the most urgent ones. In es-
sence 1t is a sort Of budget making.
"Wise spending sees to 1t that all
the income is not spent on the first
needs or desires, lest other more
urgent needs or desires appear.
1.-THE determination of what is wise
spending must rest with the individ-
ual, but he must be helped to over
come the temptation to satisfy present
necessities to the neglect Of future
needs.
"On the other hand, urgent necessi.
ties Of today must not be neglected
for the petty ones Of tomorrow. Pro-
vision must me made for a rainy day
and unforeseen emergencies, but eco
nomic stability implies also some cap
ital with which to turn around, or to
take advantage Of opportunity"

SOLDIER NOT KILLED

dian army. Nearly four years ago his
father and sister read an official letter
that the boy had been killed. That

the threshold the other day.
He appeared as war-scarred vet
eran. The home Is at 300 Forrest ave-
nue., st. Paul.
He enlisted August, 1914, with the
Edmonton Fusiliers and went to
France with the first contingent. One
day a comrade brought news back to
the States that Dewitt was dead.
While officially dead" the soldier
was only wounded at Ypres, June,
1915, and had a turn at "blighty" In
England. He returned to- the front In
January, 1917, and served until the

is not entirely correct"

It," declared the Judge as he gave a
