8 in 10 College "Gfads"
Fail, Says Millionaire

New York.-John 3. Andrus Of
Yonkers, "the worlds wealthiest SUBJ
way straphanger," who gave up being
a college professor soma years ago to
make himself one Of Americas richest
men, predicted little success for the
1901 students of Columbia university
who have just received diplomas.
"You know" said Mr.. Andrus, "that
90 per cent Of the young men being
graduated from colleges today never
viii be heard from, SO Ear as success
is concerned" His point was that too
much money us spent foolishly in edu-
eating too many people In this coun-
try" "
Mr.. Andrus told Of the much greater
demand for mechanics at high wages
than for professional men who receive
less pay. He reported a scarcity Of
building artisans that is sending their
wages skyward and q surplus of pro-
fessional men who are not nearly a.
well rewarded for their services.

enough to accommodate the bird and
the barrel can be easily turned to any
angle to take advantage Of the light.
One can attach half brick to string
or cord and use one for securing the
legs and the other the wing. The
weight is such that it will keep the
bird from struggling and yet will not
hurt the fowl.
After the weights are attached the
bird is placed on one side. A small
amount of water is used to moisten
the feathers along the last two ribs.
Enough feathers are pulled to clean
the section where the incision is
made.
Start at the hip bone and move
ahead one rib. This locates the po-
sition between the last two ribs. A
short cut is made in this section with
a downward cut from below the back
bone. The spreaders are then insert
ed. One will notice that a membrane
lines the entire body cavity. 1t is
necessary to tear this loose with the
hook. Pushing the loop of the in
testines downward, if necessary, one
will notice the testicle as small yell
lowish bean-shaped organ next to the
back. The remover is then inserted
and this organ completely removed.
"A small amount of tissue remain
ing may cause a slip. A cord-like at
tachment will be noted which may
be cut or torn loose.
The bird is then turned on the
other side and the operation repeated.
Working on both sides is usually
quicker than trying to complete the
operation on one side.
It is advisable to keep the birds
confined for few days to keep them
quiet; feed a moist mash and watch
for the development Of wind puffs.
These will be noted as engagements
on the bird where the cut was made.
When they form, it is only necessary
to cut slit in the skin and allow the
air to escape. Often it needs to be
done several times.
Capons should be banded so that
if a slip does occur it can be noted.
The slip mature with the same plum
age as normal birds and cannot be
detected. Capons should be finished
by a feeding period before marketing.

Election Board Orders
johnson Case Ruled Out
Committee Recommends to Senate
that Contest be Dismissed as
Charges Were Not Proved

Washington, June 8.-The senate
privileges and election committee to-
day recommended to the senate that
the contest Of former senator Mag
nus Johnson, farmer-labor, Minneso-
ia, to unseat Senator Thomas D..
Schall, republican incumbent, be dis
missed.
johnson had charged irregulari-
ties, but did not question the vote,
which gave Schall a majority of
about 5000 over the farmer labor
candidate.
Johnson claimed bootleggers' con-
tributions. aided his opponent, but
the elections committee reported
"the evidence does not show that any
violators of the liquor laws were in
duced to contribute money for the
expense of Shall's campaign"
The committee further decided
that there was no evidence to sup
port other charges made by Johnson
that Schall had violated the frank
ing privileges; that he had promised
appointments in return for support;
that he had violated corrupt prac-
tices laws of Minnesota, or that he
had spent money during the CAM
paign.
The report of the committee was
signed by Senators Deneen, republi-.
can, Illinois; Golf, republican, West
Virginia, and Nicely, democrat, West
Virginia.
The charges revolved around two
persons prominently identified with
the Schall campaign and frequently
mentioned in the testimony as candy

Rain and Jake was A. N. Jacobs.

worlds record at an average speed of
1O1.12 miles per hour.


101.12 miles per hour.
Smaller motors Of OH cubic inch
displacement, compared to 122 cubic
inches in 1925, combined with rainy
weather and slippery track, slowed
up the time of the 1926 winner, Frank
Lockhart, who won this years race at
1888 miles per hour.
This years gruelling battle Of tires
was called at the end Of 4031a miles
because of the downpour of rain.
Lockhart, who captured the grand
prize, drove the full distance without
single tire change and was all set
to go the entire 500 miles on the
same set of tires.
1t is noteworthy fact, too, that
the 1926 Indianapolis race was the
ninth on the Hoosier Speedway in
which Firestone gum-dipped tires car
ried the winners to victory.
The terrific battle of tires brings
out the effectiveness of gum-dipping,
the exclusive process employed by
the Firestone Company, which builds
extra strength and endurance into the
cord fabric by impregnating and sat-
urating every fiber of ever cord with
rubber
This special process minimizes fric-
ton and heat, keeping the tires COM
paratively cool under continuous
racing strain.
The performance of Firestone tires
at Indianapolis this year certainly
was remarkable when the terrific
speed at which the cars travelled over
the 15-year-old rough brick track is
taken into consideration.

paid for ways that were far from
being as pleasant or contributing as
much to the happiness and fullness
of life.
Take our public roads, for example.
In the first years after the colonies
became republic, funds were so
meager and the people so poor that
the commonwealth could not assume
the burden of road building. Instead
private companies were formed to
build and maintain turnpikes for
which service they were authorized
to charge a toll for the use of the
road.
On June ii, 1896, the first turn
pike company in New Hampshire was
organized. A schedule of tolls rum
ming from one cent per mile for every
ten sheep or hogs up to three cents
per mile for wagons, stages, private
carriages and like conveyances drawn
by horses was legally permitted the
company.
These old roads were very poor.
Ruts were left unsmoothed, bridges
sagged and fell in; vehicles were
mired in the mud holes. Yet the toll
companies claimed their returns were
so small they could not afford re-
pairs.
Imagine present day motorist
travelling over one of these roads and
being stopped every two or three
miles by gate which he could not
pass without paying toll.
Compare this with the cost of
travelling on a modern, concrete
paved highway. 1t will surprise many
to learn that our modern highway is
the cheaper of the two-far cheap
er.
A concrete pavement today costs
about $4,000 per mile. Grading,
draining, fencing, etc., bring the cost
of the whole improved road to about
$4,000 per mile, the actual cost de-
pending upon the locality where it is
built and the amount of grading re-
quired. At 6 per cent the yearly in
terest charge on this total cost is
$4,000. The sum which must be put
aside each year to replace the pave

good markets for the capon and New
York City is very good. In 1925
birds sold from SO to so cents per
pound on the New York market. Us
ually the higher price is offered for
the larger birds. One should select
a bird that can be grown out to 6
or 10 lb capon.
We find the B. P. Rocks very
good breed. They are very large,
mature early and by doing this their
meet is extra fine. The Leghorn is
not seriously considered as a capon
as they must be large to be money
makers. 1t is always advisable to
operate on the early Matched chick,
although as I have stated because of
the late hatch, for if we caponize the
roosters we will have realized much
more from them than if they had
been marketed just as BOOSTERS. :.
In caponizing one should not ex-
pect a loss from the operation. That
loss can be controlled by experience
and the required amount of skill. The
fattening process has a marked eff

Capons are entirely docile and San
be allowed to range with the pullets.
One range can be utilized and the
growth Of the pullets not hindered.
A set of tools is required for capon-
izing. These are manufactured by a
number of different concerns, but all
of them consist of a spreader, a
combined probe and hook, and re-
mover. If one has sharp knife, that
is all that needs be purchased.
Males should weigh " to 2 pounds
when operated on. The comb should
be developed first as comb develop
ment and sexual development are
closely related. If the male is too
mature the chances for slips are in
creased.
With increased size there also
seems to be an increased amount Of
bleeding and greater set back in
the birds development.
Males to be caponized should moi
be fed for at least "a hours proceed
ing. This starving empties the in
testines and allows clean view oil

that removing the supply of drinking
water will lessen the tendency to
bleeding.

USEFUL POULTRY HINTS FOR
l(By Mrs. M. T. Upton)

With the advance of summer we
take new courage with our poultry
raising. Many complain of eggs not
Matching well, chicks being sickly,
etc., but these are all trials we
all must meet, and with each failure
or success we must keep our courage
and strive for the best. There are
acknowledgements and failure in every
walk of life and / must say that some
times in the poultry business we wom-
en- have more than our share.
For instance we work hard all
summer and fall to have splendid
bunch of poultry ready for the holi-
day trade, only to awaken some morn
ing and find the birds have walked
away to Enthusiastically with
a little help.
I know several people who are still
setting the incubator and it is not too
late. Many times the June matches
are the best because the weather is
more favorable.
AS / have stated before very
profitable way to handle the late
,cockerels is to caponize them. There
is always a great demand for this
kind Of meat and the prices are very
attractive.
There are many of us who are in
experienced in this work and perhaps
al article published in the Hoa ed S

who are anticipating raising the cap

One can easily caponize with little

Because the capon is little known
and because some parties have made
q very respectable profit from the
production of them, others are led to
believe that they, too, can drop into
easy profits. Whether they do OF
