TYPE NEEDS NO COLLEGE
Hard, Alert, Practical Boys Will Do
as Well Without Higher
Education

There is one type of boy or girl
whom l should never send to college
the one marked for business career
by the possession of some of the fol-
lowing qualities in striking degree
(for 'he" in the next five paragraphs
the girl or the mother of a girl may
read "she'), says a writer in the
Woman's Home Companion.
First-He will have an instructive,
almost jealous, attachment to those
things that are his own. A youth who
lets others rob him of his belongings
without a vigorous protest may be a
very fine and generous fellow, but it is
doubtful if he was meant to be busi-
ness man.
Second-He will be inclined to be
neat, systematic, orderly, punctual.
Business has no use for such men.
Third-He will be energetic, self
reliant, masterful. If youth is lazy
and listless, his body being in sound
health, it is to be feared that his slug
gishness is deeply rooted in his ma
ture. He will be mediocre in what
ever calling he enters, but in business
he will be an absolute failure.
Fourth-He will show some taste
for swapping or trading with good
judgment. The boy who likes to trade
and swap and buys carefully has in
him certain fundamental elements OF
business wisdom.
Fifth-He will not shirk response
bility or continually blame others
when things go wrong.
Academic college training is wear
mess and a waste of time for this
hard, alert, practical type. Doctor
Prichett of Carnegie Foundation offers
wiser counsel when he says thai
"many young men and women would
find their greatest usefulness and their
greatest happiness in other vocations
than those to be sought through col
lege attendance, and there is more
need today to make clear what these
opportunities are and to urge upon
all youth of the country the advan-
tages of college attendance"
If your son and your daughter con-
form to the special type described
above, their place is in school where
they may study business, commerce
finance, or a job in the world Of
affairs. When the young are so eager
to be up and doing that they revolt
against further study even of bust
ness subjects, it is better to let them
90 to work as soon as they have fin
ished high school. Practical expert
ence will show them what they neec
in the way of special training and they
can procure it for themselves through
correspondence curses of evening
classes.

BRICKS. EGGS. ETC.

"Teach hens to lay bricks instead
of eggs, says Graham F. Blandy, a
Virginia farmer, who states in the
New York Herald, that "that to pay
a bricklayer for one days work in
New York City, it takes 171a bushels
of corn, or years receipts from a
half an acre"
"In Minnesota to pay a bricklayer

how inflated wages decrease the pur-
chasing power of the dollar for every
body and also increase the cost of
living. The farmer for instance, pays
more for the product he buys, in the
face of declining prices for the prod
ucts he sells.
To pay a plasterer in New York for
one days work of hours, takes 631h

the plasterer demands for his one

it took 8 months to feed and fatten.
The carpenter in New York demands

carpenters pay for hours labor is
II bushels of potatoes or the yield OF

one year, to pay him for one days
work, while the electrician reeves
for 8 hours labor a quarter of a beef
weighing 127 pounds which would
feed a family for 2 months.
"This is what the farmer would pay
in labor farm products if he built a
house by day labor" says Mr.. Cut
ting, "and when the whole crew get
through their first days work, there
wouldn't be much left for the second

Liabilities are an offset to the re-

is finished by summing up the valua-

each page separately and carrying the

Farming is q business, and like 9TH
er business men the farmer should
| know which way he is going finan-
cially. To drift along year after year
not knowing whether he is going to-
ward success or failure Is not the prac-
tice of successful business men, and
IT, should not be the practice Of farm
ers.
To guage progress by an increase in
cash in hand or to measure loss by
additional debts incurred without TAX
Ing into account decreases or increases
in the value of all property owned,
often leads to false conclusions. The
storekeeper is well aware of this, and
his annual "stock taking" is nothing
more or less than the making of an
inventory or list Of property, withou'
which he lacks accurate information
concerning his profits and losses. In
ventOries are not difficult to make, and
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has found that they are of
great value to any rarmer who is striv-
ing to better his condition. They over
come obstacles and place his business
affairs on a secure basis.
Make inventory When Convenient.
There is no hest time of the year to
make an inventory for everybody and
under all circumstances. Each one
must decide for himself the date most
convenient. In deciding. however. the
most important consideration is to Sc
ect time of the year before the sea
ion's work in the field begins. 1t will
ave estimating large quantities OF
farm produce on hand if the inventory
is taken as late in the spring as pos
Sible before field work begins.
Although any day will do, it is gen
orally found best to select the first day
If some month, and fairly good guide
in any section will be the date upon
which tenants custOmarily change
farms. The best inventory date may
vary from January l in the cotton belt
to April l In New England and other
northern states. and for special farms
special dates are often required.
If no list of the farm property has
ever been made, it is well to start
preparations by going over the farm,
field by field, and building by build
ing, taking each item as it is found.
In this way nothing is missed. The
listing can be done in any memoran-
dun book or on loose sheets of paper.
All property owned comes under the
head of resources or assets These may
be subdivided into physical or tangible
property, and financial, or intangible.

In discussing the purposes and activi-

Committee, Mr.. Thompson, the attorney
for the organization, said:
Giving in the upper East Side would
be delight for 10000 people if our
noses were not continuously assailed,
chiefly by indescribable odors from the
slaughter house district. This odor is usu-
ally turned loose in the night, but has
evidently grown to such vigorous strength
during the day that we are actually awak7
ened from our sleep by it's nauseating
fumes. Even the determined shutting of
our windows fails to keep it from the

residents of the East Side have been
tickled from time to time by the repeated
promises of the steam companies officials
to do away with this shower of incin-
crate. refuse.
"Then consider the reek of the garbage
dumps that reaches our nostrils. One of
these dumps is located at the foot of
Sixtieth street and the other at the foot
of Forty-sixth street-so we have one to
the south of us and one to the north of u.s.
Through our streets travel all the day
long good sized garbage carts, carrying
the refuse from the fashionable residen-
tial and hotel districts. Two or three
scows may be seen anchored to these
docks into which the garbage is dumped,
and this dumping process on warm DAYS
becomes unbearable.
"Of course, we on the East Side realize
that our district must put up with a size
able quota of chicken-killing establish
ments, big garages, mammoth gas holders,
breweries, stables and other places that
are breeding places of offensive odors
