Low Prices for Trash.

That there could be direct con-
nection between the drop in the price
of the mark and the drop in the jani-
tors Interest in the trash which spring
cleaning clears out of the average
apartment would seem 10 be far
fetched assertion. But this is the case,
declares the New York Sun Three
years ago the prices brought by all
classes OF discarded materials were so
high that the sale value was an item
of Importance 10 many janitors. Now
they are mainly so much trash-worth
nothing and less than nothing. since II
costs the city millions To get rid Of
the rubbish.
Though other factors enter into the
situation the unprecedentedly high
price OF the dollar In exchange Is one
reason that there is no market for ma
terials that were formerly salvaged
and sold in Europe, particularly TO
Germany.
Oil glycerin and fertilizer were sal
wage products OF the garbage reduction
plant. All rubbish was sorted into
classes. Rags, bottles. felt hats, rub
ber, hair and metals of all sorts were
the chief classes, and brought good
prices. Now the whole problem Is to
get rid of them.

State Needs 10000
Good Farm, Managers

That Michigan's 10000 farms
need 10000 trained and expert
managers to handle them efficiently.
was the statement made before the
Michigan Pike Tours Association
here on Saturday, July 8, by Presi-
dent David Friday Of the Michigan
Agricultural College.
"There are something over 5000
manufacturing establishments i'm
the state" said Friday. Each has
It's own executive and manager. On
the other hand there are about 1876.
900 farms, each of which is an indus
try unto itself, with its own execu-
tive head, and requiring a high type
of managerial ability.
at is the duty of the agricultural
college to offer professional service
for this group Of farm managers.
The big manufacturing industries
have their own experimental. re-
search and efficiency departments.
Farmers, scattered and in relatively
small units cannot finance and hand
lie such work. 1t is, therefore, up TO
state institution (the agricultural
college in this instance) to perform
this service for the agricultural in
dustry.
This, as we see it, is our respon-
sibllity at the Michigan Agricultural
College, and we are going to assume
it gladly and completely" %,

Albert Kline, well known colt de-
veloper and trainer is in charge Of
the stable The racing card at the
fair is expected to draw admirers Of
this sport from all parts of the coun-
try, it being the plan to have some

better in many cases than a great

igan.
At the head of the stable is Nor
gan Dewey, .: OH, owned by Bert
Echart Of Lansing, manager Of the
fair. Morgan Dewey is one of the
best bred stations in the United
States and his mark was taken at
the age Of three years. While train
er Kline is working him very slow,
preparing him for the late fall
trots, he says he can be turned on
whenever asked. He is firm in his
belief that Morgan Dewey will do
his part in keeping up the Echart
stable record.
In stall No. , is May the Great,

ed by Bert Echart and while still
somewhat green, she can pace like

FORMER WHITE SOX HURLS
THREE HIT CONTEST AND
ALMA FAILS TO SCORE.
Crittenden Also
Pitched Fine Game

The inability of the Alma colleg
isns to solve the Stats that doc"
Owens, former Chicago White Sox
hurler, sent up to the plate, was the
cause of the defeat of the Michigan
Intercollegiate Champions at Navin
field in Detroit Saturday, when the
Camps hooked up with the best that
the Detroit Amateur Baseball FEEDER
alton could put together. 1t was not
without battle, however, that the
All Stars walked off with a TO D
score, as result of the fracus.
The All Stars played errorless
baseball behind Owens, and it was
due only to this that the collegians
were not able to cross the plate.
Two errors marked the Alma team,
nervous in playing its first fray be-
fore thousands of people in a big
league park, and both proved costly.
Captain Crittenden himself was
guilty of one of the slips and Beck
ton at short slipped the other mis-
play into the work Of the Alma
team.
The way that Owens was travel
ing in his fine hurling Alma would
have gone TO defeat in any case,
the score would have been cut to
half of the All Stars counted. Three
hits was all that the attack of the
champions on Owens secured. One
Of these was a sizzling single by
"Ironsides" Crittenden, one "A doub
lie by Beckton, who sought hard to
atone for his error, and the other
was three ply smash that Johnson
sent to the edge of the park.
Crittenden also pitched fine
game, and it must be remembered
that he was hurting against a strong
Ell aggregation than the team that
Owens faced. He was taken for six
bingles, two Of them doubles. He
walked one man, and struck out five.
while Owens managed to strike out
only four of the Alma battlers.
During the past two weeks tn
All Stars have been practicing 70
the contests, while the Michigan
Intercollegiate champions had had
only three workouts together sine
college closed practically "A mont
ago. This also had a great bearing
on the play Of the teams.
The game was staged by Detroi
newspaper sportwrters for tn
benefit Of the Detroit branch of tn
Disabled Veterans of Foreign Wars.
AT first it had been proposed to use
sandlotters against the collegians,
but the Detroters opened the All
Star team up to Detroit Class A
Branch of the Federation, which CON
sists of semi professionals. This
brought Fournier and Owens, for
merly Of the Chicago White Sox in
to the game, along with Allen, for
merly of the Alconas of Detroit, who
played here against the Republics
with that team few years ago, and
other strong players. AS result it
is felt that the collegians covered
themselves with considerable credi
in holding the All Stars as closely
as they did

Real Purpose of Prep
School Here Defined

| say this, although it may seem a
non sequitur. because l have known
foolish fathers. because of a sudden
increase of worldly prosperity to take
their sons away from a school that
was serving them we'll in order to
place them in more expensive one
where they might make social ac-
quaintances Of higher order What
an absurdity in this democracy of
ours. / can hardly believe that it
does not stem from the the distaff
side.
So n uch OF the folly of parents
would be dissipated by a simple effort
TO comprehend the real purpose of the
prep" school. 1t isn't being conducted
so that it's pupils will make infiuen-
tial friends. 1t isn't a nursery of class
feeling. racial prejudice. professional
caste, vhich things are foreign TO the
natural human boy.
On the contrary, it is the nursery OF
f-discipline, responsibility, truth and
reverence as well as many other good
things likewise elementary. 1t offers
the first draught of knowledge OF
books and of life, and if this draught
be pure at the source a boy will always
wish to quench his thirst by it.
But however unwittingly and with
out intention he may act, foolish
father can poison the cup and render
foul its purity.

Silly Fathers Expect Boys
To Be Got Ready in Year

/ am strong on this assertion, for
it is just here that / meet and turn
down" scores of foolish fathers who
bring their sons TO me and expect to
enter them in the senior class and get
in one year a smattering of subjects
that would enable them to get by the
college entrance exams.
These are the fathers who will not
or do not understand what a prep
school is for. Primarily. of course. 1T
is intended to teach their boys Eng
lish. mathematics, Latin and Greek,
foreign language or two. But these
things could be done as well, and, de-
pending upon the ability of the teacher,
by tutoring at home. These fathers
lose sight of the big value the ideal
prep" school can deliver in the form
ing of character, in establishing in
dividuality, in making men of boys.
The lads who have the advantage of a
good prep" training soon forget the
pampering they got at home and be-
come self reliant. They early learn
the energy that comes from a true in
spiration. We start the engine inside
the boy and we keep it going. Every
thing centers about the formation of
character. It's commonplace TO say
that one must be taught to obey be-
fore he can intelligently command, but
that is one of the inaxims of theNsuc-

"Pa Says I Can" Is
Frequent Obstacle

"Pa SAYS | can" is the snag we meet
in trying TO cope with boys natural
inclinations. Pa says j can have more
than $50 a year spending money, pa
says 1 can keep my own automobile
in the village and run it when | please,
pa says / needn't go TO bed when the
other fellows do. That is the sort of
snag, thrown into the educational
stream by a stupid father. which we
have to take out and dry and burn.
Whatever "pa" says doesn't go here,
and although we should dislike to de-
stroy in any way the feeling of rever-
ence a boy should have for his father
cur first task is to demonstrate to our
new pupil that "pa's" authority stops
at the entrance gates of the school.
1t is surprising how many lads come
here believing they will be permitted
to smoke. When it comes TO the Jun
iors and seniors a headmaster would
have to be a knave or fool who didn't
admit that smoking goes on surrep-
titiously outside among these lads VINO
are so soon to graduate from TINS
school. But with the under classes
this indulgence is strictly and forcioly
prohibited. / say this although II
should be taken for granted because
of the remark a father made last
spring after all the formalities OF ad-
mission of his son had been compiled
with. He was ready to jump into the
automobile to go TO the station when
he said:
by the way, I understand that the
fourth class boys all smoke pipes here.
What kind of pipe do they prefer?'
AS an exhibition of folly that de-
serves to be termed asininity this re-
mark is the climax. 1t was made by
a man who in all preliminary discus
sion of ways and means had shown
good sense. 1t reveals how far from
some men is their own childhood
There has been in the last ten years
a steady growth of the relatively small
