STUDENTS EARN OWN WAY
No Reason Why Healthy, Ambitious
Wisconsin Boy or Girl Should
Not Go to College,

Few colleges in the United States
have such large percentages of stu
dents earning their way through
school as have the Wisconsin colleges.
For example. nearly so per cent OF
the students at NOrthland College are
either totally or partly dependent upon
their own resources. At .Beloit Col
lege nearly 10 per cent of the students
earn part of their expenses. At Car
roll College nearly SO per cent OF the
students make their own way. At Rip
on College 40 per cent students are de-
pendent upon themselves.
81. Because of the opportunities for self
help in the college towns of Wiscon-
sin, there is really little reason why
any healthy young man or woman liv-
ing in Wisconsin should not go to col
lege. 3sa .ai
erWisconsin Colleges Associated
are today acquainting the people OF
Wisconsin with the functions, oppor-
tunities, problems and needs OF the
small college.

SUPPOSE EARTH SHOULD SKID
Direful Possibility Pointed Out by
Writer Evidently OF Pessimistic
Turn Of Mind.

Those fellows who are pumping all
the gas out of the earth, and digging
the coal and the iron and gold and sill
yer out Of it, and sucking all the oil
out Of 1t, better look out what they're
doing
Supposing the scientists say that
it doesn't make any difference. What
do they know about it? They don't
know any more about it than we do,
and that isn't very much. These smart
Alecs that tell us one thing today and
another thing tomorrow are not to be
depended on. They change their minds
too often, and the reason they do SO
is that they are simply guessing all
the time.
Now it stands to reason that II we
take the whole insides out of the earth
1t is hound to be q whole lot lighter
than it was before. Any kind Of an
idiot knows that. We take out the in-
sides and we never put anything back
in its place. If we played fair, like
trade rats, 1t wouldn't be SO bad; but
we don't play fair.
We take out coal and burn ii up in
smoke; the same way with oil; the
gas blows away in the air.
Now, by ginger, to our way of think
ing, the next thing we know this old
ball is going to skid 1t is bound TO
do so. being relieved Of all it's ballast.
It Is going to skid, and then something
is going to happen to everybody who
is thinking about something else and
hasn't got good hold on tree or
something.
Suppose you are walking along the
road, or sitting carelessly in a chair,
and the earth skids like that. Why,
dear man, you will fly off like man
standing up on spring wagon when
the horse gets scared.
We have no desire unnecessarily to
alarm anybody, but this thing of TAX
ing everything out OF the insides of
the earth but the acoustics ought to
be looked into.-Los Angeles Times.

PREVENT cRoWDING OF PIGS
Properly Constructed Feed Trough
Will PermiteEach Little Porker
TO Get His Share.

Young pigs should be given their
feed In such a mannersthat each indi-
yidual pig gets its share. The SIM
plest way to accomplish this is to allow
the pigs to eat from properly con-
structed feed trough, one that will
keep the pigs out of the feed and VIII
lessen the possibility of crowding.
