Vocational Agriculture Project Wa
Successful

The boys In the animal husbandry
class of the Abilene high school fin
ished their class project last week
by selling at public auction their
pure bred Poland China SOW and
seven pigs. The total cost of the
project, including the SOW, feed,
labor, interest, advertising, registra-
ton and sale was $3.50. The sale
price was 1927, leaving net profit
Of $43.17.
w. L. French, instructor in that
department, says Of the work:
IA vocational project In order to
be successful must involve the prac-
teal application Of what has been
learned In school. 1t must also ex-
emplify sound business principles.
The boys can lay claim to success
in both phases Of this project. Their
animals were well grown and in the
pink Of condition and a better illus
tration Of raising litter Of pigs
would be hard TO find. As business
proposition they entered the open
market, invested, and IN 100 days
made a net profit of better than 30
per cent on their investment"

Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-07-27
EXCELLENT HEALTH RECORD

The record made by Perth Amboy, a city of over 10000
people in having no deaths in nine days and the remarkably
low death rate for the month of June is most encouraging
to those who have the welfare of the city at heart. Perhaps
this excellent showing will tend to disprove many of those
distressing things that have been said about the city from a
health standpoint. 1t is doubtful if many other places of the
same class as Perth Amboy can show as good results as this
city.
The fact that the death rate here during the month of
June was only 6.25 per 1000 persons and the infant NOR
tality rate only 10.42 as compared with rs in June, 1921,
should be widely advertised to counter act against the un-
fair reports made about Perth Amboy in the past. Perhaps
a slogan, Give long and well in Perth Amboy," would, il
circulated as much as many of the deplorable phrases coined
about the healthfulness and general sanitary features OF the
city, work greatly to this city's advantage.
The health report goes on to show that the general
healthfulness of the city has improved over the last year.
This no doubt was due to the activity of the health authori-
ties in checking disease, the establishment of clinics and
the vigilance of the school nurses.
An excellent record has been made for the city and the
health authorities are to be congratulated in this way. 1t 1
hoped that this good work will be continued so that Perth
Amboy will get a reputation for good health conditions that
will be second to none in the country.

s"The daily grind'' is tedious preparation for ellmaxes

to have a few hours Of leisure. Two weeks vacation, oo
weeks of work.
..T;me is of all things the longest and the shortest, the quick
est and the slowest."
The great period of time necessary to accomplish any
thing was illustrated in England long ago, when coHee was IN
troduced to that country as a beverage.
The first coffee sold in England was put on the market IL
1862 by Pasqua Rosee, merchant in st. Michael Alley, Corn
hill.
For 20 years a campaign of great violence was conducted
against coffee. English public affairs iunatlcs were so con-
WINGED that coffee ruined the health and corrupted manners,
morals and politics, that at times the authorities had TO drift
with the current and suppress its sale.
In ''The Women's Petition Against Coffee circulated
in 1914, the belief was set forth that coffee drinkers would
breed a race of ''apes and pygmles."
English merchants had to plug for 30 years to create
their market. How many modern American business men
would have that much patience?
Growing the crop takes a long time. The harvest is snort.
That is the way with nearly every human life.
Fate is a jester. Usually there isn't any harvest to speak
Of. Decidedly is this SO in the case OF the man who, desiring
10 enjoy great wealth, wears himself out in accommodating it
and wakes up at the graves edge to find that he has the gold,
but is too old to enjoy it.
We are forever planning what we are going to do tomor-
row or next Christmas or a year from now. Many of us live
too much in future that never comes The future is mostly an
illusion.
