Eastern questions would be contrary OF the spirit OF
the age. Our government will not consent to one. If

may be wrecked.
The proposal for a preliminary conference to

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
WINTHROP f. STONE.

From the indianapolis News.)
The tragic death of Dr. Winthrop Ellsworth Stone,
president of Purdue university while tramping in
man whose career has been intimately linked with the
educational progress of the state Dr. Stone came of
sound New England stock. He was born in New
Hampshire and educated in various New England
colleges. He took his doctors degree in chemistry at
Goettingen a German university, in 1888, and re-
turned to this country to teach ind assisted in the
administration of the University of Tennessee until
1900 when he went to Purdue as president of that
institution, position which he held with distinction.
When DR.. Stone went to Purdue university 1t was
hardly more than 80 years old, with comparatively
few students. But the groundwork for a great instu
ton was laid out, and Dr. Stone gave himself to the
problem with characteristic aggressiveness. During
his incumbency. the university has become known
throughout the country engineering school of
the first order Its contribution to the science of agr
culture is equalled by few other universities in the
country In other departments also 1t has risen to
hlgh rank 1t is one of the few universities which has
given serious thought to the training Of its students
for service in time of war.
He was persistent In his efforts to provide for the
financing of the school on a scale which would en-
able It to maintain its position among the foremost
technical colleges In the country AS member of the
state board of education and various learned societies
he brought the fruit of ripe experience to the whole
Indiana school problem Although he was first a
scientist and executive he will be remembered with
affection by thousands of Purdue graduates who came
under his influence. The state can i'll SPARE men of

SUBTERFUGE.

Mr.. Jack Reynolds, president of the First Nation
al Bank of Albuquerque, very disengenously stated
to the editor of this paper Tuesday that the First
National is not a political bank" He said I'VE have
state deposits of only $4,000, on which we pay two
per cent interest In proportion to capital stock and
taxes paid we are entitled to We never get our
share"
We almost felt sorry for Mr.. Reynolds for the
way he was abused. We came very close to offering
our sympathy and help--but we didn't quite do it.
Instead we asked him how much money Nelson
Field land commissioner, had deposited with him. His
reply was something over observation-disclosures that
may mean. Two hundred thousand dollars is some
thing over $4,000" When asked about interest he
said he paid none He then explained that this was
not state money"-yet because the deals on which
it was deposited had not been consummated.
Mr. Reynolds feels that two per cent is all he
should pay state money because that is the Legal
rate. But he pays private customers five per cent
when they insist it and four per cent without in
sistence. All that is lodged by the daily balance
method used with state funds instead of the time
deposit' method used with other customers. Yet the
state deposit is the stable deposit the bank has
The gang" passes two per cent law to accommo-
date Mr. Reynolds and others. Then the arrange
ment is illegal" 1t surely is legal If it is anything
for it most certainly is not equitable
But Mr.. Reynolds is guilty of subterfuge with
the public when he states he has but $4,000 of

law is being violated every day. in the judgment of

Z per cent net This money does not increase the
banks overhead so we figure no deduction for that
purpose. The profit is $1,000 per year.
BY the time other public deposits, such uni
versty, county, city and school district added,
this amount is doubled.
In recent years the funds divided more than
formerly. The First Nationals grip is relaxing some
what They forced to divide the spoils than
they did Isn't it too bad
These public spirited citizens have objected for
long time to discussing these matters Our in
sistence makes us a menace" We must be driven
out of the state"
With the Journal editor gone they feel that 1t Will
be "all quiet along the Potomac"
Mr. Reynolds probably means we are a menace"
to special privilege in this state. We hope the public
agrees that this is true.

the flying fish left the water, a big
hen hawk swooped down out of
the air and tried to grab him,
thinking he was a duck.
ooh! OH" cried the fish. The
hawk fastened its claws in the
wings and, as they were not grow
ing on the fish, off they came, and
the hawk flew away with them.
The fish dropped back into the
water with a splash.
"Shall 1 make you another pair
of wings?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
mo, indeedm answered the fish.
81 am content to be what I am,
The water is the place for me. If
/ had been a real flying fish even,
with wings that wouldn't pull off
easily, the hawk would have me
now"
"Yes," the bunny said. IT think
he would" Then the fish, who
never again wanted to fly, swan
away and Sammie said:
II don't want to be bear. Uncle
Wiggily."
I'm glad of IT." laughed the
bunny gentleman.
And, If the sprinkling wagon

Forty dollars!"

dear. l feel pretty poor even with
what father left me. l want to keep
that, or as much of 1t as possible,
and my expenses made a big hole
in my salary"
I'VE must use the legacy to make
more money!"
What an inconsistent little
creature you are, Nan! You want
me to use 1t as capital and in the
same breath you want motor cars

l had intended to tell Dick had
ordered a dress and a blouse. But
he evidently expected me to get all
l needed with $40. l had patron
ICED Felice, and he was warning me
not to allow it to make me unhappy
because l couldn't. l would keep

months. There were many little
things l wanted, charge on Clara's
account l must pay soon, besides
some other bills Dick knew nothing
about. The $40 would come In very
good.

loaned or given me, the day she
found me weeping because I could
not pay the grocer. She had told
me to keep it until my ship came

that she wanted me to accept it as
such. But should she hear Dicks
father had left him some money
she might expect me to offer to re-
turn it?
Perhaps Dick would make what
he called a killing" in some way.
If he did l would offer It to her;
but l would pray at the same time
she wouldn't accept it.
You see l am candid.
Dick did take Mr.. Markham's
advice. He made nearly $500 in less
than an hour-so he told me when
he came in to dinner.
And when you can make money
like thet you keep me without
everything a woma' wants." 1 said

"Poh!" exclaimed Sammie, who
for the time seemed to have forgot
ten about wanting to be a bear.
"Fishes can't fly!"
"Oh, yes, they can!" exclaimed

Can they?" asked the boy rab-
bit of his uncle.
there are flying fish in warm
countries. They have fins that are
like wings, and, though they can
not stay in the air very long, as the
birds do, the fish certainly can

isn't exactly flying even if it looks
like It,"

"Hum!" said the bunny. ut seems
to me that as a fish you will be
much better off in the water than
in the air. However, I'll do what
I can to help you. I'll get some
feathers and make you pair of

II hope you get your wish and l

Uncle Wiggily.
Some feathers were picked up
near the coop Of Lulu, Alice and
Jimmie Wibblewobble, the ducks,
and Mr.. Longears soon made these
into a pair of wings for the fish.
The wings were stuck on the fish
with some sticky gum from the pine
tree, as water would not wash this
gum off.
"Now I shall fly" cried the fish,
when the wings had been fastened
on its sides.
Don't stay in the air too long"

ANSWERED. LETTERS.

Petite" IT read your recent
working schedule for the farm
woman, in which you said that 1t
was not the farm wifes duty to
help with out-of-doors work.
l want to give you my schedule,
which may be of interest to 9TH
ers; l get up every day at 5 a. m,
milk 3 cows while my younger sis
ter milks 2, then l separate the
milk and help feed a number of
calves; 1 next prepare breakfast
and gather fresh flowers for the
table. During this time Mother
has fed and watered 900 chickens,
built a fire and started breakfast
and done other duties.
After breakfast l sweep an
clean-each day-as many of the
nine rooms as necessary, and while
my mother and little sisters do the
dishes and my grandmother makes
the beds. All this is completed be-
fore the real days work begins, at
1880 or s o'clock.
Mother and I do all the sew
Ing and washing for our family of
seven, besides the homework, and
then find time to help a great deal
out of doors. We go to the county
seat several times a week and at
tend Sunday school every Sunday,
where mother is q teacher and l
am the secretary.

Constant Reader: Here Is my
recipe for doughnuts that never
fail and never have a greasy taste.
Mix level teaspoons of butter,
cup of sugar, a pinch of salt and
IL teaspoon of nutmeg together
well. Beat two eggs we'll and add
these to the dry mixture. Dissolve
scant level teaspoon of soda in
l cup of sour milk and stir this
also into the mixture. Mix / round
ed teaspoon of baking powder and
3 1-2 cups of unsifted flour, add
this also to the mixing bowl, and
stir well together. Turn out onto
a Toured board, roll, cut, and fry
in hot lard. l have found that
doughnuts are much better fried
in lard compound than in home
rendered lard, as the lard COM
pound is not so greasy.
Here is another hint: In maxi
ing cakes If you wish to measure
1-2 cup of butter, first fill the cup
1-2 full of water, then add butter
enough to fill the cup; this saves
butter because it does not stick to
the cup, and also saves the house

cup. OF course the water is thrown
