Guthrie Center has shipping
association the directors of which
met last week and elected officers
for the coming year. Guthrie Cen
ter is thus endeavoring to bridge
the gap between the producer and
consumer. If every town had such
an organization much of the present
profteering would be done away
with.
The Menlo Journal comments on
the fact that all the names on their
new ticket for school directors are
men whereas one or more members
of the board may be women. AS
women are more interested in the
schools than men the question is
often asked why they are not given
at least one seat on the school
board. The training of the child is
left largely to the mother, and why
should she not have a voice in reg
ulating the schools in which she is
so vitality interested.

In less than a hundred years the
coal of the United States will be
exhausted, says Prof. Friedrich, of
the mining engineering department
of Iowa State college. Coal has
always been so cheap in the United
States that it has not been consid- !

mining methods in digging it.
Modern methods of mining save
nearly all the coal in the ground.
There are mines which get 95 per
cent of the coal, and the operating
costs only ten or fifteen cents ton
more than the mines which waste
half the coal.

Why Colds Are Dangerous

You are often told to Beware of a

Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers

BERANGER'S HEART TOO KIND
Great French Poet Continually Preyed
On by Host of lngrates Who
Piucked Him.

Interesting anecdotes are told of the
great French poet, Beranger, who died
In 1857.
The poet was as poor as he was
generous. All he had he gave away.
and when there was nothing left he
sent the beggars who haunted his
house to call on his numerous friends.
One Of the characteristics Of this
unfortunate benefactor who was al
ways surrounded by a host Of ingrates,
was his tolerant spirit. Since there
was no ante-chamber In his modest
home, the beggars who knew the honse
stayed outside on the staircase 1t was
impossible to see him without finding
half-dozen Of them on the stairs
There they used to wait like ravens
for the small change. old clothes, and
sometimes new clothes. that Lisette
was the first to distribute to them.
When friends demonstrated with Be-
ranger for giving away things he need
ed to people whom he did not know,
Lisette would answer:
"Oh, now, Beranger will just write
another song-the lazy fellow!"

"and we're only hoping that one Of

about US and that we aren't the hen

that there are two kinds of hawks

In ways"

dered Hawk. "but luckily the world
isn't made up of Griffon vultures"

Vulture.
