an increase in the number of limericks
received but shows added interest
Among the 1883 limericks that were

to note that some of these were sent
from Connecticut. and as far away as
Canada, which shows that the popu-
larity of this contest is indeed far
reaching.
Prizes on last weeks puzzle are
awarded as follows: First prize, S25
cash to Lena A. Sperry of Surry. Her
limerick was written about the Gardi-
ner Nash Co. and read as follows:
Gardiner Nash Company
There is a young lady from Surry
Who limericks writes with a furry.
Shes saving up cash
To purchase Nash,
Please send her a check in hurry.
The second prize winner:

FACULTY LOSSES
CHIEF ~" PROBLEM

Retention of the outstanding
members of its faculty has be-
come a problem of the first mag
nitude at the University of Min
nesota according to President L.
d. Coffman who believes that the
institution must pay chief atten-
ton in the next few years to the
development of a stronger facul-
ty and the adjustment of the
salaries of outstanding teachers
SO that other institutions may not
take them away in the period of
their greatest usefulness.
The true power of univer-
sity is found in the high-minded
and devoted scientists, scholars
and teachers assembled in it."
the president declared recently.
He pointed out at the same time
that salaries of full professors at
Michigan are about $1,000 great
err than at Minnesota, and at I'LL
nois, about $500 greater than
the Minnesota scale. Minnesota
also has lost outstanding faculty
members to the University Of
Chicago. Yale. University of Cal
ifornia and other institutions.
What a university must have,
to remain great. is men of mark
ed intellectual ability and lead
ership. and conditions under
which they may do the full work
of which they are capable" is the
presidents expression Of his at
titude.

HE Midnight Fright

A Detroitsr fell asleep in his IA
vorite chair the other night, and his
wife, little later, turned out the
lights and went TO bed. About mid
night, he was awakened by q soft
tap-tap on the stairs. Instantly,
there flashed into his mind all the
stories Of burglars he ever had read.
In the brief moment before the dim
ray of q fashlight came in view, he
lived through centuries Of criminal
review. He was unarmed, defense
less. The feeble ray Of light came
on, the tap-tap grew louder. And
then he breathed q sigh Of relief.
His small son had awakened, re-
membered toy he wished to take TO
bed with him, and had used his
Christmas gift fashlight to find his
way.-Detroit News.

The utility of this process in

Willow trees have striking char

This family popularity manifesto
itself in early spring before the
leaves appear, when trees loaded
with tassels ON every branch are
found in the forest, in parks. and
on streets and lawns. This is late
in March or early in April, says
''Tree Habits" from the American
Nature association Of Washington.
Several days later II may DO found
that the tassels on one Of these trees
have fallen to the ground. Exami-
nation Of these worm-like objects
will show that they are made up Of
small flowers containing remnants
Of pollen dust. The catkins fall a.
soon as the pollen-bearing flowers
have done their part, and the time
required for the flowers TO ripen.
burst open, and release the pollen
is but few days. A similar tree
near at hand may show the tassels
still hanging and you win naturally
wonder why the one tree has shed
its tassels and the other holds them.
Close examination Fl the tasscls will
show that those which dropped bore
pollen-bearing blossoms, while those
remaining on the trees are made up
Of seed-producing flowers.
