 You will need more than these things, however, to get you anywhere. You need some very costly training. You should have your high school course. Then you should have four year course in good technical school. Some of the money for this course you can make for yourself. Most of the big schools have employment bureaus which help students to get part time jobs while they are going to school. Then you can earn some money during vacation.
 If you want to find out more about it, write to the Registrar of one of the big technical schools or to the Secretary of the American Society of Civil Engineers, B Vast 2oth Street, New York City"

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES

Many of tse wideawakes are going to spend their long vacation at home. 9th CTS will go to the seashore. some to the mountains. some to both the shore and The mountains while there are those who will have a delightful time going to the different cities to the country. taking trips here and there Some may go camping and others may be putting in some happy hours at the playgrounds- But whatever you do or wherever you go you should f9st adopt as your motto "Re careful"
 Such instructions as you may have re- ,efved in your homes or in school about 5eing careful must not be disregarded during vacation. There are always many dangers to be avoided and they ozn be escaped by just small amount sf attention at the right time.
 Boys and girls must keep out of the way of automobiles which creep up so silently at times they must be careful In swimI1ng no to go beyond their depth if they cannot swim, they must no jump on CT off the back of vehicles, they must not get into dangerous places but have thought of what is liable to cause serious injury or death and avoid 1t. Be careful is 2 warning that can be applied on many occasions. If there Is any doubt. '+Be careful" should be guild .zE influence.
 And while there is need of being care ful for your own protection, there Is likewise plenty of opportunities for ap- plying it in regard to others It is i'm. portant not to do anything that would cause serious injury to another, that might make a companion a cripple fol life. or that would cause damage tc property through carelessness like play ing with matches, starting bonfires ol leaving camp fires or other fires neal woods where large loss of propert! might result therefrom.
 All of us can see where we might hay' been more careful after something ha hap happened. What Is more importan IS to do it and prevent the undesirable things from happening. Be careful.

Rubber.

Dear Uncle Jed: How many of you boys and girls have rubber balls? Did you ever wonder where the rubber comes from? on them.
 The pails are put there to catch the sap.
 This sap is made into rubber. The sap is thick and white like milk.
 The men in the woods will heat the sap over the fire. When it becomes dry and hard it is taken to the mills and made into balls and dolls and bags
 Gan you think of anything else made of rubber?

A Fine Rain

The fine rain which fell over a large
section of the state, Monday morning,
was a Godsend to suffering crops, pas
lures and gardens. 1t came too late
to help hay OF small grain, but tobacco
corn and late potatoes win benefit ire
mendously.
The hay crop is very poor over the
entire county, estimated by some as
being not more than half crop. Small
grain is good in scattered localities
but generally ight-probably 25 per
cent below an average crop. The corn
crop as rule is in fine shape and
two weeks ahead of schedule. Tobac-
co on the whole is in fair condition,
though very uneven, and many fields
show severe drought damage. II
seems shame that this crop should
suffer such damage after getting the
most favorable start ever known in
this county.
