BOYHOOD STORIES
OF FAMOUS MEN
JOHN MUIR

John, is it necessary to tell you
every night that you must go to bed
when your brothers go?"
The father glanced at the book
his boy was reading and when he
saw that it was a church history,
his anger was somewhat abated.
Get up early in the morning 1t
you want to read" he said.
John was gleeful, but he didn't
know how he would get awake. But
at one o'clock the next morning he
awoke as if by magic. How fine it
was that he would have such a
long time to read!
John Muir was an ardent student
of botany and geology. He has
been called John O. Mountains"

SOME BLOWING

During the last three years one
of the janitors at the Lawrence
High School, Lawrence, Kans., has
blown up approximately 1926 bas-
ketballs, volley balls, and footballs,
for the use of students in all the
schools of the city.
"The guy who blows 'em up"
says he prepares on an average of
3 balls week. Of course, he does
not use his breath to do it, but has
a small pump which does the work
quickly and efficiently.

Adventures in the
Lick Creek Hills

There were six of us boys going
to camp in Lick Greek Hills.
We had to take our things in a
cart.
/ and another boy had to wait
until the store opened to get some
groceries.
The other boys told us they
would be under the bridge.
But there were two bridges and
we went on south to the big one.
On our way we came to some
men working on the road, when
we came back from the big bridge
and found they weren't there we
asked the men if they had seen any
boys pass with a cart and they
said no. so we knew they were at
the little bridge.
When We got there We saw the
other boys sitting on the bank fish
ing.
They had a fire and were cook
ing dinner and it wasn't more than
8 o'clock.
We had a good time that day do
ing everything.
When night came the dog began
barking and barked and parked.
Finally my brother and his friend
got up, took the revolver and be-
gan shooting in the air and We
heard someone going up the hill for
all there was in it.
Then | began thinking of the men
we had passed on the road. and
would have bet anything it was

Coming Of Spring

Loud howls the wind,
Deep lies the snow,
But the time is coming
When winter must go.
Lo-from her cavern
Spring hovers near,
Awaiting the time
When she shall appear.
Quivers each tree top,
Snaps each small twig.
OF winters last try
To make itself big.
Nearer and nearer
Steals the Spring Queen
Till at last in the open
She makes herself seen.
Then with a moaning
Winter departs
Leaving sweet springtime
To gladden. our hearts.
Shyly each leaflet
Lifts up it's head
Lightly the flowers
Spring out of bed.
Springtime has come
Gladly the earth
Awakes from her sleep
To partake of the mirth.

Along the waterfront III the seaport

brutal, yet fascinating life, unknown

Here in narrow, crooked, mean streets
overrun with wine shops, foregather the
hordes let loose from their toll on the
sea. Lascars, Apaches and the scum
Of all nations, rub shoulders in wild
revels and orgies.

CAN CABLE u. S. MONEY
DIRECT TO FATHERLAND
No Questions Of Exchange Can Pos
sibly Arise Under New West
tern Union Arrangement.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany announces an arrangement, eff
fective on Friday of this week, h ere-
by cabled money transfers to Germany
will be paid in American funds.
The particular value ofNthis arrange
ment is that it eliminates all questions
of exchange and places the payee in
a position to take full advantage Of the
premium on American currency. 1t
also involves refund Of the full amount
deposited in case of non-payment,
which is another great advantage in
case Of a deprecated and declining
foreign currency.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany believes that the arrangement Of
this direct money transfer service to
Germany on the dollar basis will be
of considerable convenience to people
desiring to send money cheaply,
quickly, safely and directly to their
friends or relatives in that country.

LOYALTY VS.. TREACE4ERY
IN "WOMEN WHO WAIT"

Women Who Watt showing at the
Crystal Theatre Friday and Saturday is
said to be gripping, tremendous, vi
tai story of the strife between two
brothers for the love OF one girl. 1t
presents an unique triangle in which a
man and woman who love each other
are kept apart by their sense Of honor
toward man whose deception and
treachery is responsible for their un-
happiness.
This story by Edward Russell, di-
rected by Philip Van Loan and released
as a Playgoers-Pathe feature, provides
three roles of equal Importance, and
accordingly Marguerite Clayton, Creigh
ton Hale and George MacQuarrie share
stellar honors.
Miss Clayton, & favorite since the
days when she was "Broncho Billy
Anderson's leading lady, is praticular-
Iy well suited to the part Of Eileen,
the woman whose love stood the test
Of time.
Creighton Hale, is a strongly sym
pathetic character as the betrayed
brother, and George MacQuarrie is a
powerful, sinister figure as the evil
brother.

ECONOMIC LOSS FROM
TUBERCULOSIS.

One hundred dollars per year does
not seem very high valuation for an
average human lifein fact, many OF
us might agree that we are worth
rather more than that to our country.
Yet, with only this amount as basis,
it has been estimated that the econo-
mic loss to the United States through
one disease alone is 25,0O0,000, 900,
and possibly double that sum. A re-
cent study made by the National Tu-
berculosis Association and the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company, IN
dicates that an average of two and
half years could be added to every in
dividuaPs life if tuberculosis were eli
minated.
There are 100000 cases of con-
sumption in this country at the pres
ent time, and approximately another
100000 persons have the disease in
quiescent stage. Since the Nation
al tuberculosis Association began it's
campaign Is, years ago, the death
rate from consumption has declined
from over 200 per, 100000 population
to approximately 120, thereby saving
the country about $4,000 lives year.
If the terrific economic loss from the
disease were confined to one occupa-
ton, the enormous waste of human
life caused by preventable and cur
able disease would stagger the civi-
lized world. But tuberculosis takes
it's toll ftom all classes Of society and
it's victims are scattered through ev-
cry trade and profession, thus making
it difficult for us to realize the price
we pay each. year in money and need
less pain and suffering.
In. order to continue it's campaign
against the White Plague, particular
ly through the education Of the pub
lie in regard to the preventability of
the disease, the National Tuberculo-
sis Association and its 1900 affiliated
agencies are conducting the Four
teenth Annual Sale of tuberculosis
Christmas Seals in December. 1t
has been estimated that the necess-
ary health machinery to control tu-
berculosis would cost approximately
$500 per person in any Ameri
can community, or total for the en-
tire population of the United States
of s7,OOO,O 100000, spread over gen
Grafton. This would mean a net
saving to the United States of pro-
ducing power valued at approximate
~ s1S,O00,0O0,000, if tuberculosis
could be eliminated.

Dairy Cow Care Important to Keep

l(Prepared by Office of Publications
University Farm. st. PAUL. s5s5s
The dairy COW should have the best
,of care in the transition period he.
tween the outdoor and pasture life
and confinement in a stable. Regular
housing and barn feeding should not
be delayed too long, for unless the
dairy COW gets plenty Of food and Is
kept in comfortable quarters there is
bound to be a slump in her milk pro.
,duction. A drop in production is
known to all experienced dairymen; to
sbe a serious matter, for when a loss

possible to bring production up to a
high level again later, even nIthe COW

garding winter feeding and housing,
=. w Gullickson of the dairy husband
Try division at University Farm, says:
sThe feed Of the COW, always an
important factor, is extremely so at
this season. A splendid basis for her
ration is found in the feeds that are
usually grown on every dairy farm.
Glover or alfalfa hay with corn silage
furnish a very satisfactory roughage
combination for the ration. It is eco
nomical to supply the hay in as large
amounts as the cow will consume.
Twenty to thirty five pounds Of silage,
depending on the size of the animal,
should be given from the first day
of barn feeding, for it will aid greatly
in making easy: the transition from.
pasture to dry feeding. 4, /:
I'm addition to the roughage the
COW producing milk should receive
some grain or concentrate feed. Corn
and oats furnish an excellent basis
for such a grain ration 1t will usual
ly, however, be found profitable to-
purchase other feeds to add to these.
A combination Of 500 pounds ground
corn, 200 pounds ground oats, 200
pounds bran and 100 pounds linseed
ioilmeal will give good results. One
pound Of this mixture to every three
pounds Of milk produced is about the
proper ratio for a Jersey or Guernsey
