THE GRADUATES

If Edison is right,
Or even nearly SO,
The college man is light
In what he ought to know.
The time is near at hand
When college graduates
Diplomas will have scanned
With pride that palpitates.
And many of them will,
In starting their careers,
Expect the world to fill
With prescience of seers.
But those who hope to turn
Completely upside down
This stolid earth will learn
Degrees don't spell renown.
I've known of some B. AS
Who had this very bunch,
And now they shuttle trays
In Thompson's dairy lunch.
However, by and large,
think, perhaps, the truth
Bellies the sweeping charge
Against the college youth.

Dust to Dust

In famous street of Paris there is
a palace and sewer. Talleyrand, who
lived in the magnificent palace, never
noticed the sewer; but it turned out,
nevertheless, to be of some Importance
to him.
He had cut a huge figure in the
events of forty years. He had met
and fathomed and bantered and in
fluenced all the men and magnates OF
his time, and held In his hands the
reins that governed civilized Europe.
But one day he died; and the en-
balmers came and placed his body in
a white-satin coffin. They retired,
forgetting to dispose of his brain,
which they left on marble slab. 1t
was the brain that had coined bon
mots which amused courts and chan
cellors for generation, the brain
that had inspired the literati OF
France, that had led two revolutions,
outwitted Napoleon, made dupes of a
dozen kings, swayed the world.
The janitor entered and seeing the
brain that the embalmers had forgot
ten, said: Hello! what's to be done
with this?' He was neat man, who
disliked to see things out Of place
And he thought of the sewer which
ran by the palace; and forthwith hi
went there and threw the brain int

Occasionally in our moments of per-

are accustomed to call for equal op-

though such time had passed away.
We have spoken in another article Of
the service of Secretary Herbert
Hoover in helping to secure new for

American farms and manufacturing
| industries.
Herbert Hoover, one Of the most
helpful and best known Americans,
was forced to get out as an orphan at

mucker in a mine. But that help

What did he come up from? Pit boy

Henry Ford unquestionably is the
outstanding figure in the automotive
industry. Twenty years ago he was

From tiny bicycle repair shop in

The biggest figure in finance in the

Frederick Underwood, president of

W. W. Atterbury, vice president of

Charles P. Steinmetz, one of the
greatest figures in the electrical field,
was a craftsman. The fact that he
is crippled, terribly crippled, did rot
handicap him in his rise to world
prominence.
John Carly, of the American Tele-

PRESS CLIPPINGS
Should Map Supervise Forests of
State.
(Stanstead Up. O. JournaD

(Stanstead Up. O. JournaD
The hesitancy Of those identified
with the forestry interests of the
state, to bring about the needed legis-
lation for controlling and conserving
the cutting and forest growth, is not
understandable. There is large ex-
penditure for growing and setting
seedlings, while natures seeding goes
on without attention, other than to
cut the three to five-inch saplings for
fire wood. The whole state should be
mapped and brought under intelligent
supervision. 1t isn't necessary to
use the word "shall" in the law of
supervision of cutting and care of the
forest area, but seek out the areas
that should be conserved and push
forward theoretically an educational
campaign, calling the owners of these
areas into conference, and show them
what is for their interest, thus enlist
ing their interest and cooperation. 1t
would only require a few years to
bring the forest growth to a point
in excess of the normal cutting, and
in time the cutting could be double
the present total and the growth more
than sufficient to keep the balance on
the right side. Other countries and
states are demonstrating that this
is all rational common sense.
