GIVES LIFE TO SAVE HIS SON
Father Reaches River Bank With Drowning Boy, Then Sinks
 From View.

delphia.-Stanley Shirery of Westinghouse Village was drowned in saving the life of his 12-year-old son. The man sank in view of sev- eral persons along the river bank, who were powerless to aid him. His body was recovered.
 Shirery and his son. with John Ball. ey of the same village, went fishing. While leaning over, the son evidently became dizzy and fell into the stream.
 The elder Shirery plunged into the stream and reached for the boy as he was disappearing beneath the surface.
 With his arm around the neck of his son, Shirery managed to reach the bank. Bailey, leaning far over the stream, took the limp form from the father. Bailey then reached for Shir- cry, but his last vestige of strength had gone. With safety only a few inches from him he sank from view.

NOT RESTING, JUST WAITING
Idiot Boy, According to Judge Gary, Very Much Like the Rest
 of the World.

Judge Gary was talking at din ner about the worlds industrial situa- tion.
 "All over the world,' he said, Tabor is earning more and producing less. In England, for example, there are more coal miners employed than ever, and the production of coal is lower than ever.
 English labor reminds me of the idiot boy.
 "A farmer, out of pity, gave an idiot boy asjob. Then one afternoon the farmer walked across his farm to see how the boy was doing. He found him lying on the grass under a tree smoking a cigarette.
 "'Well, Looney,' he said-the boy was known as Looney in the village Well, Looney, what are you doing? Resting?
 "Looney took his cigarette out of his mouth and answered.:
 "'No, boss, I ain't restin', cause I ain't tired. I'm just a-layin' here waitin' for the sun to go down sos I kin quit work"

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t is that so many products that are ex- tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulills al- most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri- nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.

at the rate of expenditures in 1918 would be paid for all education-eIe- mentary, secondary, higher, technical and professional, that is, how much would be spent on the average for all the school education of all the chill dren in public elementary schools and high schools and in colleges, universi- ties, technical and professional schools of all kinds. The range would be from $111 in Mississippi to $1,274 in Mon- tana, again somewhat too high, and the average for the United States would be $40. Illinois, in this third table, is put down at $431.
 Grand Average Is $515.
 To this $40 should be added about probably not quite so much-for expenditures of private schools of all kinds, elementary and secondary, pri- vate commercial schools, and schools for the deaf, blind, the feeble-minded and other special classes of children.
 The grand total of $515 represents what at the 1918 rate the people of the United States would pay on an av- craze for all the opportunities of edu- cation, public and private, higher and lower; for all the difference which seTooling makes between a generation of total illiterates lacking in all the training 6f the schools, and the condi- tion we would have as the result of a continuation of the 1SiS rate of ex- penditure for education and training in the schools.
 Since in the figures for the United States as whole and those for each of the states are included the ex- penditures for many who will go through college, for many more who will go through the high school, and for still more who will get more than their share of the average in city schools and country schools having comparatively long terms, the actual amount paid for the education of the large number of children whose school ing is confined to the elementary grades of the city schools and of the short-term country schools must be pitifully small.
 Does 1t Pay7
 As matter of investment and busi- ness economy, alone, the thoughtful man will ask: Does 1t pay to spend an average of $515 on the education of the children of the nation, or would 1t be better to save this money, close all our public schools, and let the next generation of men and women depend wholly on their unspoiled and unimproved native ability? Is It prob able t1Iat on the average these men and women will because of the education which they receive from the schools and colleges, universities, technical and professional schools, produce $512 | more during their lives than they would if nothing were spent on their

MAGIC ROOMS.

"Tbese rooms are so marvellous, said the boy adventurer to the girl adventurer who had reached their journeys end at the House of Secrets, that I'd like to call them Magic Rooms"
 By all means do so," said Master Thoughfulness.
 And is there still more to seeY' asked the girl.
 "Still mOre," said Master Thought fitness, "and you must wander about" !"
 Gladly we'll do that" said the girl
 "She's right" agreed the boy.
 One of the rooms they visited was filled with presents and everyone was giving them away to visitors from the other rooms and to adventures.
 Sometimes they would give away something they wore or carried with them such as a brooch or a stick-pin or scarf or a sash. And in the very center was a laughing, jolly person whom Master Thoughfulness intro duced as Mir. Generosity.
 MT. Generosity gave them both pres ents and turned to some one who stood at his right.
 "Oh, aren't we having a good time? Isn't this great, great?"
 That's his son Unselfishness at his right" said Master Thoughtfulness.
 As they were wandering about they saw the Courier Cooperation. He 1t was who had told them how people must work and play and pull together in order to get along and be really happy and fine.
 "Well, now you understand some of the reasons I like to carry messages, eh?" he asked them. Its so nice to be able to carry the messages do too between the House and adventurers on the way.
 Isn't it wonderful in the House of Secrets? Every kind of a room here with every kind of a fine secret-and all the naughty ones are kept in the cellar, ha, ha, and they aren't allowed to cause trouble here! Why, they even make old Worry-Ahead-of-T Time stay down there.
 "Qo you know why? He kept borrow ing Trouble from the bank and the bank wouldn't stand it after a time. They said they were all out of Trouble and it was a dreadful thing to think of The Bank of Trouble Which Loaned Worry in Advance on Security to be out of their best stock.
 '"The bank was so excited after that for they thought they would be able
The Holbrook news., 1921-07-01

to loan out the worry to more people all over-but we've put the bank in the cellar and the bankers too.
 And one of their best customers now is Miss Snobbery and Miss Care Only-For-F Fashionable-Clothes. Miss Snobbery has thought only of her social position all these years and has tried to make people feel unhappy and shy and awkward. Now she is worry Ing dreadfully for she is fearing she will never be liked again. She lost all her popularity you know.
 "Where? Oh. little by little it got away from her when she wasn't look ing-and suddenly she found it was all gone.
 Miss Care-Only- For Fashionable Clothes used to be the meanest child.
 "She used to make fun of her school friends who had clothes that were too old for them or too small for them or where something wasn't just right She never went anywhere unless she had just the right dress for the occasion and she didn't know anything about having good time and forgetting about clothes. She was most objectionable and grew up to be very mean. She went down in the cellar when Miss Snobbery did.
 ''They quarrel all the time, for Miss Snobbery says the only thing that counts is social position and Miss Care Only For Fashionable Clothes says that it's clothes that make the man and fine feathers for fine birds.
 "But we all know that the really great big secret make up of lots of little secrets is that cooperation or getting on with our fellow creatures Is what counts"

Small Is Cost
 of U.S Schools

bered that these figures include not only the cost of instruction, but also expenditures for buildings, grounds, equipment, repairs, fuel and all incl dentals, including in many cities and states books and supplies.
 The range is from $63 per individ- ual person in Alabama and Mississippi to $637 in Montana, the Montana rate being almost exactly ten times that of Alabama and Mississippi. The Ill., inois range is $539. The average for the United States is only $252.
 Comparisons.
 In a country in which we blithely acknowledge that all things wait on education-the public health, material prosperity and wealth, social purity, civic righteousness, political wisdom, the strength and safety of state and nation, and, finally, the thing for which all these eXist-that is, the individual welfare and happiness of the people we have recklessly ("recklessly" is probably the word) spent $252 per child that the attainment of all these things may be assured. Since less than 70 per cent of all the money eX- pended for public schools goes for in struction, only $175 of the $252 was paid for actual instruction. We ire queltly have complaints that the in- structiOn and training of the boys and girls who leave the schools is not as extensive and thorough as it should be. What should we expect for $175?
 For the generation of boys and girls reaching the age of high school gradu- atiOn. in 1906 the average per capita was $40. For the elementary and secondary education of the million of men and women in the United States now between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-ive the average paid was S2OO.
 An Average.
 The second table shows what would be spent on the average for the edu- cation of each child of those (some- thing more than two and a quarter millions) who reached the school age of six years in 1918 if the average ex- penditures for that year were to be continued until 1881 when these boys and girls will have reached the nor nal age of graduation from the high school. In only one state would the amount be less than $1O0, and the av- craze for the United States would be $359. The figures for Montana ($1274) are no doubt too large, the number of children of school age in that state in 1918 being larger than the number calculated on this basis of the esti- mates of the total population made by the bureau of census. The same is probably true, but in a smaller de gree, for California ($54O). Illinois average in this table is the same as In the first, $539.

Commissioner of Education Gives Figures of Expenditures
 in This Country.
AVERAGE IS S515 FOR PUPIL
Counting Children of Kindergarten Age There Are More Than Thirty Million Children of School Age In
 the United States.
By p. P. CLAYTON.


 CUnited States Commissioner of Educa-
 tion)
 Considered alone, expenditures for public education in the United States may seem large. Figures and com parisons recently published in many newspapers show how small they are when compared with expenditures for other purposes, public and private.
 These expenditures are also small in comparison with the number of chi.- dren to be educated. We forget how numerous a people we have come to be. In thinking of hundreds of mill lions of dollars for public schools, we forget that there are tens of millions of boys and girls to be educated. Keenly conscious of the size of the dividend, we forget the size of the divisor We forget that there are in the United States more than twen- ty-seven million boys and girls between the ages of six and nineteen-that is. between the age at which children in most states enter school and the age of those who graduate from the high school having gone through the grades of the elementary school with out the loss of more than one year. If children of Kindergarten age are counted in there are more than thirty millions.
 The Cost.
 Just how much do we pay for the education of these children?
 The first of three tables giving de- tails show how much was spent on an average in the public schools of each of the states for the education of each child of the generation of children entering school in the fall of 1905 and reaching the normal age of high school graduation in 1918. The figures given in each case show as nearly as can be computed from re- ports made to the United States bu- reau of education just how much has been spent to make all the difference between total illiteracy and the lack of all school training of this genera tion of boys and girls and that which they did get in the public elementary and high schools. May it therefore fairly be taken as the measure of the value of such education in the minds of the people? It should be remem-

Love.

'Love' is one of the most frequently used-and abused words in our lan- guage. There are almost as many def1- nitions of 1t as there arc people who speak the language. This little mono syllable may be said to be immeasur- able in its potentialities.
 In the German language the word is "Liebe" The exact Russian equiv alent is 'Lienboy." The Sanscrit word that expressed the idea-or the primi- tive conception of it-is "Lobha." The exact and original definition of that word, however, is "Covetousness." So you see.-Chicago Journal.
