After everything else was attended

from under the hem. but she had de-
cided she looked better without the

self up and down, she regretted that
she had not asked Evelyn for pair Of

Her brow puckered into a frown as
she drew on her fathers heavy boots
and slipped into his ragged coat. Then
she tucked the dress into the top Of
the boots that 1t might show us little

It was long climb to the boule-

was very quiet. and sudden rush Of
tears almost blinded her as she turned
toward the city. How delighted both
Jerry and Daddy would be when they
gpied each other! Gulping down her
tears. she shut out the thought that
perhapa some one would catch her
breaking the law and clap her in Jail

smile flashed before the eyes Of her

He didn't like
white bread or
ready-rubbed tobacco
And probably he preferred
horsecars to the trolley

He admitted frankly that his tastes
were peculiar. He didn't know why. It
was just a matter of fact that while he
was an inveterate pipe smoker, he
never smoked Edgeworth.
"But don't let that worry you. I
don't like white bread. And there are
many other things that nearly every
body know ikes-and I don't"
We have always recognized that no
one tobacco would just hit the taste
of every pipe-smoker. We have always
known, too, that we couldn't make all
the pipe tobacco in the world even II
itwere possible to make a tobacco that
everybody liked.
So we have been content to jog
along, seeking and finding men who
do like Edgeworth, who find its indi-
vidualfragrance exactly suited to their
taste.
Those are the men we want to smoke
Edgeworth. If we can give them the
full joy of smoking and keep our fac
tories running somewhere near capac-
ity, it is about all we expect-and it is
enough.
One thing we do want to be sure of.
It is this: That every pipe-smoker try
Edgeworth at least once and judge
for himself whether or not it Is the
right tobacco for

SWEDEs GO TO AMERICA
Majority of Emigrants Prefer Com
ing to This Country

Stockholm, September 2l.-ICor-
dependence of The Associated
Press. Sweden broke almost even
on emigration and immigration dur
ing the past year, according to fig
ures published by the Central Bur
eau of>Statistics.
The number of emigrants was
1850. or about 1900 less than in 1920
while 1851 Swedes returned to their
home country and 562 foreigners
became naturalized. OF the entire
number of Swedish emigrants about
IS per cent went to the United
states. There were about twenty
per cent more - women than men
among those who left their native
country. Most of these women were
single. and between fifteen and
twenty five years, of age.
In view Of the fact that there
were about $4,000 more births than
deaths in Sweden during 1921, it is
evident that the resident population
OF the country is increasing.
Sweden is exercising increasing
restriction upon her Immigration,
which has never been large. Thus
applicants and nearly one fifth of ali
the German applicants were refused
citizenship.

Grair, Men Defend

Farmer Can Market Grain
ASSOCIATED Press D:cSatch. ]

Chicago, October Ia. Ogden
Armour packer, and George E.
Marcy, president of the Armour
Gain company principal witnesses
yesterday before the federal trade
in grain futures. here in confer
ence with attorneys today to de-
termine to what extent they will
reveal details of their grain transac-
tions when they appear before the
commission again tomorrow.
Declining yesterday to disclose the
intimate details of their specula-
lions, Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Marcy
agreed to tell the commission to-
morrow whether they would furnish
all the dates and figures of their
trades requested by the federal in
Quiry board.
Mr.. Armour characterized himself
as a casual trader" in the grain
market. He denied that Armour
and Company, the packing house,
was interested in any grain deals in
which he participated, asserting
that the packing firm does not
trade in grain futures.
Both Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Marcy
defended the board Of trade as a
necessary medium through which
the farmers finds a sure and con-
slant market for his grain. .
1.-THE farmer has place to sell
his grain every day in the year"
Mr., Armour said. "He may not at
times get the price he is entitled
to, but / think It has stabilized con-
ditions. Generally speaking he is
better off, would say, than with
out a speculative future market
because no man in the grain bust
ness would buy wheat until he had
sold it and you know that some
times YOU have to carry wheat
long time before you can sell it."

EDUCATORS MUST
APPLY EFFICIENCY
THIS IS MESSAGE TO THE
NEBRASKA TEACHERS
SESSION AT LINCOLN
California Superintendent of
Schools Addressed Gather
ing Today
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l


Lincoln, Neb., October 12-Edu-
cation must recognize the principle
Of efficiency operating in society
and apply it in the improvement, OF
its. own practices and results, H. b.
Wilson, superintendent of schools
at Berkeley. Calf, told members OF
the Nebraska State Teachers asso-
citation here today.
Studies of the content In ele-
mentary Curricula have already
shown that there is more useless,
functionleSs material in the ordin-
airy text in arithmetic, geography,
phytology, language and grammar
than there is material of value, he
declared.
"In the world of business and
commerce, efficiency has become
the slogan during the last decade"
Superintendent Wilson said. Every
leading progressive, outstanding in
stitution is continually studying its
procedures and its products with
the idea Of improving both.
I'VE must be willing to apply to
our methods and to our products,
standards appropriate to Judge OF
our work which are correspondingly
as severe as those applied in the
field of business. There is no place
in an up to- date business institu-
ton for that which is merely fairly
good, or for that which is dead or
obsolete or seriously out OF date.
Improve Study Course
The course OF study now in effect
in schools should be improved by
eliminating large quantities of use
less obsolete, dead, functionless, not
to say antediluvian material which
exists in large quantities in every
subject of study in the elementary
and high schools and in the colleges
and universities.
THE material in text book has
been accumulated by a gradual pro.
cess of accretion. Until recently
there was no careful effort to study
the value of the material. One au-
thor after another copied from those
who had written books before him.
Until recently this was true OF
spelling: Within the last few years
the spelling lists have been cut
down from twelve and fourteen
thousand to three and four thousand
words. That which has been elimin-
Corresponding elimination can be
made in all subjects Of study.
''The organization of the school
must be planned in such a way as
to differentiate the children in the
various grades and subjects into
groups of corresponding ability and
approximately the same interest.
This differentiation has been ac
complished In Few of the leading
cities OF the country, but from the
STANDPOINT OF all the children of the
taught in classes of HETEROGENEOUS
composition"
