Why People Go to College

Someone in Boston has been trying
to unearth some hidden reason why
so many boys and girls are flocking
into the colleges. Various college and
university authorities have been led TO
give their opinions, but absolutely
nothing new has been developed. Col
lege attendance has been increasing
since the war, but it had been in
creasing rapidly before the war. There
is just one reason for it, and that is
the recognition that advanced educa-
ton brings various advantages to its
possessor. This is no modern discov-
cry. Cicero's father could see the
truth of it up in his little hill town of
Arpinum, and so he brought his boy
down to Rome to be educated in order
to give him a better chance than he
himself had ever had.
If every American boy who wanted
to go to college had seen his way to
do so there has been no day since the
foundation Of Harvard when the col
leges would have been able to accom-
modate those who would have sought
entrance. More and more, as the

It is clearly apparent that the ma
tons business prosperity and general
welfare are dependent on what is pro-
duced from the soil not five nor ten
years from now, but this year, next
year and every year. Business should
aid instead Of antagonize it's best
friends. Agriculture must obey the
great law Of the universe is,
adapt itself to modern conditions. A
great constructive program should be
carried out by the nation for the en-
enlargement and upbuilding of it's
farm and livestock industry and, we
believe, if the measures proposed for
the relief of. agriculture are enacted,
they will constitute. broad foundation
on which may be erected the worlds
best and enduring system in farming.
That also would mean the upbuilding
of what would be the worlds most en-
during and widespread prosperity.
The fact that our prosperity as peo-
pie so largely depends on agriculture
should lead us to the conclusion that
national welfare can best be subserved
by making farming safe and profita-
BILE industry and as progressively
modern and efficient as any other in
dustry. -.

The designation of the dates for
"release" of stuff from governmental
and other agencies sent
by their press agents to the newspa-
pers of the country is all poppycock.
AS matter of fact when most of the
junk is received it is stale news-it
has usally been covered days before by
the Associated Press or some other ma
tion-wide agency. Governmental and
other propagandists may imagine that
they are fooling country papers with
their ''gush," but they are badly mis-
taken. The country newspaperman
reads the dailies and, therefore, when
he receives batch Of mimeographed
junk which has previously appeared in
print he knows it and casts the de-
funct stuff into his waste basket
Right here we would suggest that con.
gress make an appropriation so that
the treasury and other departments
may be enabled to pay for the propa
ganda which they mail broadcast fo1
free insertion in the country newspa
pers, the main feature of which seems
to be to incorporate the names Of tn
various chiefs Of bureaus into tn
stories. This same suggestion apple

Nature herself would never, of
course. have consented to new year
beginning in the heart of winter, for it
is inconsistent with all her methods:
The new year in the natural world
starts in spring with the annual recru-
descence of things that grow and, it
is historical fact, some Of the early
Christians designated Easter Sunday
as the beginning Of the year. But,
even at this, January is in actuality
the best month for New Years day,
and we can thank the late Julius Cae-
sar for placing it where it is on the
calendar. It stands to reason that the
mind of a man is not plant that
should lie dormant all winter, SO in
this season of cold, of short days, Of
general wishing for the return of
spring, something is needed to keep
the modern human being from letting
himself slump back to the alternating
habits of the caveman. In days of old
many of our ancestors were guilty of
this habit of hibernation-that is, if
we can believe eminent authorities on
this subject.

Secretary of Labor Davis, who has
perhaps sized up the industrial situa-

anyone else, says there is just one
last tug through our difficulties be-
fore we can reach the stage of .recov-

February are always the months Of
most unemployment, he AYERS, and he
urges the workers Of the country to
pull through and have faith, for just
beyond this last bog lies the firm
ground of revived business and re-em-
ployment. He appeals to employers
to give work to- the fathers SO that
the children may remain in the best
places for them-the home and the
school. "Give employment wherever
you can," urges Mr.. Davis, Ito ease
the strain on those out of work and, to
some extent at least, start your mills

ture Of your country President

lected Mr.. Davis as secretary of Ia

It Annoyed the Bishop.


One Of the most curious printers
blunders that ever became embalmed
in a book, occurred in a London pub
fishing house in the early Victorian
period. While engaged in setting the
type for a widely-known book, "The
Men of the Time" several lines of type
intended for the life of Robert Owen,
the socialist, fell out of the form and
in making up" were replaced in the
form intended for it's closest alphabet
ical neighbor, oxford, Bishop Of"
When the first edition of the book ap-
peared it contained these startling
lines: .~s &.s-
"Oxford, the Right Reverand Samuel
Wherefore, Bishop Of, was born in
1905. A more kind hearted and truly
benevolent man does not exist. A
skeptic, as regards religions revela-
tons, he is nevertheless an out-and-
out believer in spirit movements"
Many copies Of the book were circu-
lated before the amusing error-not
amusing, however, to the bishop-was
discovered and these are now very dill
ligently sought by book COLLECTORS

Although the senate by . vote Of
46 to Al has declared that Truman il.
Newberry Of Michigan will retain his
seat in that body there is still an un-
pleasant odor about the affair. From
the evidence submitted during the con-
test in Michigan it appears that sum
Of approximately 100000 was spent
by the Ncwberry forces in the cam
paign. It is also reported that huge
sums Of money were spent by the OPP
position. The. whole controversy in
contesting the election of Mr.. New
berry was, of course, drawn largely on
party lines. AS in any trial, the de-
cision rendered was based on the evil
dence presented and it appears that
the state primary law in Michigan
does not limit the amount Of money
the state committee may expend.
However it is deplorablc that such an
incident should have arisen in the
United States senate. After this dis
agreeable affair, it is to be hoped that
future candidates will be more dis
Greet in regard to the amount of mon
ey they permit to be expended in their

Probate judges, Hold Over.

Probate judges elected in Minnesota
in 1920 hold over until January 1, 1925,
according to a decision Of the state
supreme court in case brought to
test this question. The people voted
for a constitutional amendment at the
1920 election, extending probate
judges terms to four years, and the
court holds that this applied to the
judges chosen at the same election.
There will be no election of probate
judges this year.
The point was settled by a three to
two vote, Chief Justice C. L. Brown
and Justice H. R. Dibell dissenting.
Commissioner Edward Lees wrote the
opinion. Constituting the amendment
adopted in 1920 the court says, it is

PRICES SHOULD BE CUT.
Board of Control Told There Should
be Reduction in Prices of Pen

itentiary Farm Machinery.
St. Paul, Jan. 19.-Prices of farm
machinery manufactured at the state
penitentiary must be drastically re-
duced, Representatives of the Minneso-
ia Farm Bureau federation told the
state board of control at conference
last week. :
The demand for reductions in farm
machinery prices was one Of the first
acts Of the new farm bureau admins
tration. The delegation representing
the farmers was headed by J. F. Reed,
new president of the state federation
and included F. E.. Lamers, vice presi-
dent, and J. J. jacobson, George Free
man, Thomas E. Cashman and J. D,
Pyle, directors.
The farmers dollar is worth only 81
cents in comparison with the price OF
products he has to buy, the farm bu-
reau representative said. Prosperity
cannot be restored until. the cost OF
machinery and other commodities the
farmer must purchase is brought down
somewhere near the value Of the
things he has to sell, they declared
The penitenitary, public institution

said, to- make the prison machinery

firms and carry out the intent Of tn
