GOING SOME.

The rich man travels n his auto cor.
The poor man travels by train;
The hobo hikes the railroad tracks,
But he gets there Just the same.
No one knows the hobo's address,

But he gets his Just the same. .
No one kno1rs of his aches or pain.
Nobody evey hears him complain;
No one sees the doctor come or 20,
But he's hiking once again.
No one ever sees him take his both,
But he gets one jast the same;
Dame Nature treats him as you and I.
In sending do1OB the rain.
He eHVics no man in this lrorid,
While he has his feet to roam;

ROBIN REDBREASTS
EAR OF WHEAT

In ages long past a few monks
came to Brittany when that coun-
try was heather. They built rude
sheds in which to dwell, and a chap
el of moonstones, and then pre-
pared to till the soil. But, alas!
they had no seed.
Then one of them spied a robin
sitting on a cross they had set up,
and from his beak dangled an ear
OF wheat. The bird flew away, and
they secured the grain, so%ed 1t and
next year had more, sowed again,
and SO by degrees were able to
plant large fields and gather abund-
ant harvests. II you go into Brit
tany and wonder at the waving
fields of golden grain, the peasants
will tell you all came from robin
redbreast's ear of wheat.

CALVES in IOWA,

Reindeer Raising in Alas.
ka Is Favoriate Sport
And Business.

Down in Texas. in connection with
the rural schools there have been
organized a large number Of boys
hog clubs. Over 1000 boys are rais-
ing hogs. Most OF these boys hav.
but one. raising a full marketable
hog from a pig. Vet many of the
boys have a number. one boy rails
ing IS, and these from little pigs
which he purchased with money he
earned.
A banker in Waco, Tex, offered
to loan any boy IS. with which to
purchase one pig, if the boy would
agree to raise 1t into a 3o0-pound
hog, and after the sale Of the hog
the boy could repay the loan.
In the State of Iowa, boys have
calf clubs.
Besides raising a calf for money,
one boy started by/lifting his calf
daily. As the calf grew in size anc
weight this was not noticeable &c
the boy in his lifting. When the
county fair was held, the boy gol
a small sized tent, and exhibited
his. calf.
See the Calf a Boy Raised" was
tne sign on tne tent.
Ten cents was the admission.
People did see the big fat cali
raised by a boy.
The calf weighed twice as much
as the boy, yet the boy lifted tho
calf
So this boy bought more calves
with money he earned by raising
the one calf.
These hog and calf raising boy,
have competitors in the Alasks
boys. Through the schools thes,
boys of the far north are beins
organized into reindeer clubs.
The government owns about 400
reindeer.
These reindeer will gradually b,

Railroad Rates
Lowered on Henry
Ford's New Road

Railroads throughout the coun-
try claim that they cannot pay in
terest on bonds because the rates
do not give earnings enough. Last
week in New York railway stocks
went tumbling.
The railroads want relief from
the government and millions are
asked and will be provided to en-
able the roads to pay at least run
ming expenses and interest on
bonds.
There is one railroad owned by
Henry Ford. 1t is the Detroit, To-
ledo and lronton. This road runs
through fairly prosperous regions
of Michigan and Ohio. Henry Ford
has lowered freight rates, and his
road is making money.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission permits a certain rate to
be charged. but Mr.. Ford. didn't
want to charge so much. He must
get permission from the commits
sion, which is supposed to repre-
sent the people, for Permission to
lower the rates.
We candidly confess We cannot
understand the railroad business.
But when We have been told for
years that the railroads are losing
money. and charges have gone up
and up and up, it is some relief to
know That there is one railroad in
the United States that is making
enough money to warrant them in
asking for the privilege of lower
ing rates. We never heard of this
being done before.
1t Is really about the most won.
derful piece of news we have dis.
covered.

A Thought.

(By Helen Carter, pupil at Force
School.)
In the olden times people had pic
tures-yes, long before the camera
was invented-and they were far
superior to ours. No, they were
not painted by an artist of great
fame, but all they had to do was to
look in a pond of clear crystal wa
ter and there they beheld them
selves. Color, life, and even the
twinkle of the spectators eyes were
not omitted from this portrait clear
and fine.

A negro was walking along the

on his shoulder and a hearty voice
said to him:
That's pretty heavy, brother.
Suppose you let me help you.''

fishes a record for the short courses
which have been growing in popu-
larity each year.
The past season had been the
most successful for short courses
which we have ever known" said
Mr.. F'rier. Certain unusually favor
able conditions have contributed 10
this but the people are increasingly
alive 10 the value of this work the
university is offe ring and they are
anxious TO get from II the help that
will give them aid in handling some
of the difficulties that now confront
the farmers. A fine feature OF this
seasons work too. has been the
splendid way in which business and
professional people in towns and
cities have cOoperated to make this
agricultural educational work ef-
fective. This has been done not with
the exploiting spirit dominant but
because it is the part of a good citi-
zen and a good business man to CO.
