"The depot was struck by lightning
day before yesterday and torn up
considerably" related the landlord
of the Petunia tavern. But as it
was four hours since the last train

MISLEADING FIGURES

The Journal is in receipt Of cir
cular from the Director of the Uni
versity extension Department setting
forth figures the various amounts the
Department has saved for the farm
ers Of Idaho the past year by having
its experts" travelling about in
structing farmers how to kill a grass
hopper. or a ground squirrel or TO
spread manure on his fields etc. The
method OF reasoning seems to show
that some s6716559 have been saved.
The same method Of reasoning has
demonstrated 10 the editor of the
Journal that had he refrained from
shaving his chin the past forty years
he would have saved himself the sum
Of s62. 6oS.00. II is too late in life for
the editor 10 retrieve this vast sum of
money but the system Is explained
here for the benefit Of the young fell
lows who have not yet begun the dis
sipation
a mans beard will make an aver
age growth OF quarter of an inch Il
week. II not cut of this would give
him beard IL inches long in a year.
At the end OF forty yrs his beard would
be forty three feet four inches long
At ten cents a week. the old tim
price a years shaving saved would
give rcturn OF $500. In forty years
this wound save him S20S. 90. not
counting interest. But with this re-
markabla growth Of beard its own
er could place himself on exhibition
at the end of the first twenty years
and charge an admission OF ten cents.
This should at the very least bring
In one hundred ten cent pieces day.
Counting six days 10 the week for
twenty years would bring s62.40O.o 90. |
II Is a sum that appeals to the ina
sination and II is just as real as the !
i6.Ti6.55s saved by these University
experts. In their figures the "ex-
oerts" add s23.iiS for Miscellaneous"
savings. The man with the beard is
also entitled 10 at least an equal sum
