Examination of Boys in Paris

PARIS. January IL [P).-Examina-
ton time for Paris schoolboys has
brought out as fine crop of howl
ers'' as was ever retrieved from Il
freshman English course in an Ameri-
can college.
One young essayist wrote that the
Pyramids separated France from
Spain. Another described a demo-
sogue as a receptacle in which people
formerly drank beer. Geometry, it
was confidently stated several times,
teaches us that oxygen has eight
sides" and it appears that the best
way to kill an insect is to pinch its

That the French are not naturally
a seafaring nation seems to have been
shown by considerable misapprehen-
sion on the part of young scholars as
to the nature of ]ifeboats. One young

ped with every modern comfort" and
another that they were so constructed
"as to be able to carry more than they
can contain"

IT CAN BE DONE

WYE HOPE the reader recalls that bit Of
M popular verse about the man who was
W told that something other couldn't be
DONE and then che started right in with a bit OF
grin" and did it. That bit of verse has been
demonstrated in Redwood County during the past
three years and by Redwood County woman
on Redwood County farn--you know, one OF
those farms that certain pessimists have told US
it is impossible to run with anything like finan-
cial success unless Congress does lot of this,
that and the other to help the poor, down-trodden
farmer.
From this quarter section this woman, with
her three sons, now seventeen, fifteen and twelve
years of age, has paid on the principal of her
loan seventeen hundred dollars since the loan
was made three years ago. In 1923 she was
able to pay only interest and taxes but since
then she has paid not only these and kept up all
other obligations as well providing living for
her family, but she has made the very substan-
tial reduction in the face of her loan. She and
her boys are not only farming the home quar-
ter section but renting additional land as
we'll. Last year they sold two thousand dollars
worth of porkers that they didn't feel the need
of keeping any longer.
With a very sweet and motherly modesty
this woman, whose name we may not mention,
hands the credit to the Oldest IF the three
sons whom she says is born manager and
planner" But one has only to talk with her
briefly on the things pertaining to this business
Of farming to know that she understands the
principals Of farming and that she is not afraid
81 doing her share of the actual work. And yet
every day we hear men say that farming can't
be made to pay for it's own expenses these days.
But of course those are MEN who make that
statement. A woman simply tackles the thing
with bit of grim and DOES it-scme women!
At least here is one to whom the whole county
may we'll do homage.
