Just some baking, flour, salt, etc., same as pros pector; and speaking of prospectors makes us think of the added at traction of the business because of the opportunity the herdsman has to constantly prospect while with his herds. Take your 'grubstake". get a prospectors outfit, as many reindeer as you can, get into the Broad Pass, and make money while you hunt the region over for the mine. The longer you keep at it the richer you grow, mine or no mine.

A Man Is as Old as

John Walsh, SO, an ex-soldier and
friend OF Dan O'Leary, most famous

TOO many men think they're done

Old age is a calamity only to the ex-
tent that men make 1t such for them
selves. There is no sight more inspir-
ing than the old man playing young.
"The fact is" wrote Cicero, the Ro-
man. "that old age is respectable just
as long as 1t asserts itself, maintains
its proper rights and is not enslayed
to any one"
Cicero. himself Of ripe age, described
the ideal old man, thus: HE keeps his

the midst of these studies and labors

upon him" he wrote THUS, by slow
and imperceptable degrees life draws TO
it's end. There is no sudden breakage :
Il lust slowly goes out"
A man is as old as he feels, as the
saying goes. And he's as young as be

More familiar Is the story OF the
eighteenth century boy who, watching
the lid of a boiling kettle rise and fall,
applied his observation to the invention
of the steam engine.
In 1913 DR.. Clayton Of London read
that in a certain coal mine there had
been discovered a strange gas that
burned when fire was applied. DIR. Clay
ton reasoned that the gas might come
from the coal itself and, acting on this
theory, he burned coal in a retort, caught
the escaping gas in bladders and amused
himself and his friends by lighting what
the doctor called "the spirit of coal"
But Dr.. Clayton didn't think far
enough. It remained for one, william
Murdoch, to make coal gas commercially
useful.

Der OF the editorial stan OF The Atlantic
Monthly" startled the National Council OF
Teachers offs English. In session here, by
coming to the defense OF newspaper
English"
Professor Thomas told the Assembled
English teachers that the general tone OF
newspaper writing has improved greatly
in the past ten yenrs.

duced under excessive speed and that re-
porters write their stories from often
times meager facts and first Impressions,

markedly good writing when you take all

Professor Thomas attributed the i'm
provement in newspaper diction and use
Of English to the many journalistic
schools OF the country's universities and
paid particular compliment to Columbia

Prof. Rollo Walter Brown Of Carleton

fessor Thomas and told the teachers that
not enough attention has been paid by
university and college faculties to stu
dents scholastic achievements as com
pared with that given their social life.
Il have come to the conclusion" Pro-
lessor Brown said, that any student, to
receive attention from the faculty Of the
average college. must be, to certain
extent, morally and mentally deficient.
In the past two years l have visited
many colleges and attended many faculty
meetings, and while l have found that
considerable time has been devoted to
such questions as the number of frater-
nifty dances to be held during a season,
what hour at night the fudge kitchens In

ASSEMBLY FACES
BIG NEW OUTLAY
State Joint Purchasing Com
mittee to Need Coin.

That the Seventy Second General As
semhly gill be asked to make speclh
appropriation Of approximately $1,000
to cover expenses of operation OF IN
State Joint Purchasing Committee, ap-
peared likely today The appropriation
would cover salaries Of the secretary Of
the board, clerks and various inciden-
tails. It is understood.
Members Of the assembly Will have
to decide whether the needs Of the CON-
mittee could best be served by a spe-
Cinc appropriation or whether continu-
ance OF the present method of financing
the board is more suitable. Either man
ner would cause no additional burden
on taxpayers, those cenversant with the
operations Of the board declare.
Should the assembly decide to allow
an appropriation for the board, much
needless routine work could be dis
penaed with, 1t Is said, since the board
now has the task Of dividing the ex-
renses OF operation pro rata among the
twenty Institutions of the State each
month Thus the expense Of operation,
including salaries, comes out OF the ap-
preparations OF the State institutions.
Not more than $4,000 would be need
Maurice shelton, purchasing agent for
the State Under the method instituted
for purchasing supplies for the State,
Indiana has the lowest cost OF any State
in the Middle West.
BY making an appropriation specifically
for the purchasing board, the work Of the
committee would be simplihed, without
any additional cost to the State, 1t Is
pointed out. BY doing away with the
necessity each month of dividing the ex-
penses Of operation, much time could be
gained for other important work.
Another argument being put up for the
specific appropriation lie that in case some
Institution is left without an appropria-
ton. the purchasing board would have
the money to make purchases for that
institution. without placing the burden
of expense on other Institutions This
has been the case with the Farm Colony
for the Feeble Minded, recently estab-
ushed by the Legislature.
