EDUCATION WEEK

This is American Education Week and
as such centers attention of the Ameri-
can people on the Importance of educa-
ton.
1t merits such attention at any time
but particularly the present when many
schools throughout the country have telt
the heavy hand of economy due to fin
ancial conditions. Not only have numer-
Gus schools been closed but others have
also been forced to curtail their activ-
tiles.
The wisdom of giving education the
fullest support is apparent to the great
mass of American people. They have
demanded educational facilities for their
children from the colonial days and have
sacrificed to the utmost to provide them
with the opportunity fol an education:
From some we hear criticism OF MOD
ern education, yet there is no compar-
son between the wide field OF training
open to the youth of today with that
which prevailed so, 100 or $50 years ago.
The advantages are all on the side OF
modern education.
The opportunity for a college educa
ton is open to all who wish to acquire
it. thanks to the numerous universities,
ist throughout the length and breadth
of the nation. Only few decades ago
a college education was limited to the
children of the wealthy.
American youths, no less than Amer
lean adults, should be proud of the ed
ucational opportunities which t h elr
country affords them. They should be
eager to take advantage of the opportun-
ity open to them and make the most of
it.
Perhaps we have made education so
easily available that many of the young
er generation, taking it for granted, do
not realize how different is their case
from that of their fathers and grand
fathers.
1t is regrettable that we find some
students willing to accept every educa-
tional advantage, but not willing to make
any sacrifice for it, as shown by the re-
cent action of 200 Columbia university
students who declared they would not
bear arms if called upon to do so by
their country. Nearer home, at the I'm
iversity of California in Los Angeles,
two students went to the courts in order
to avoid military training in their col
lege course.
We perhaps should not bear too much
stress on these incidents but should re-
member the fine record which college
students made during 1918. 1t is
probably as true now as it was then, that
the great majority of students are in
tensely loyal, proud of the advantages
their country has given them and will
ing at any time to answer their country's
call.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S MUSICAL
TOP

Hi, there! Wake up! Wake up, if
you please!" called Uncle Wiggily,
TO the jolly old dog gentleman, who
kept the toy store. Wake up. for l
want to see about getting Bobbie
Ringtail buzzer."
But the old dog kept his eyes
closed and on the counter in front
of him was spinning a red, green
and yellow tin top, which was hum
ming tune.
Dear met said Uncle Wiggily
This is very strange I don't see
how this jolly old dog does any busi-
ness if he sleeps when customers
come into his store"
Hey! Wake upi Wake up!'
shouted Mr.. Longears and he tap
ped on the counter with the end of
his red, white and blue striped
rheumatism crutch that Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy had gnawed for him
out of cornstalk.
Now whether Uncle Wiggily tap
ped the top or whether banging on
the counter stopped it spinning or
whether it was time for the top to
stop no one knows. But, at any rate
as soon as the rabbit gentleman tap
ped the counter with his crutch the

Bobbie," said Mr.. Longears. You
know, musical top like that" and
he pointed to the one that had now
stopped spinning. "A top that plays
music. Bobbie Ringtail, a little rae
coon boy, wants a top like that"
Eyes, they're very jolly tops"
barked the dog. I'VE sell a great
many of them. Did you see it spin
and hear it play?"
1T was doing that as I came in
and found you asleep" said Mr..
Longears. ITS just the kind of a
musical top I want for Bobbie."
I'm glad of that said the dog.
IT mean I'm glad you saw the top
spin and heard it play for now I
shall not need to wind it up again
and spin it for you"
do you mind doing that?" asked
the rabbit, thinking this was fun
ny dog Storekeeper who didn't like
to show his goods.
"Oh, no, 1 don't in the least
mind" chuckled the dog. THE only
trouble though, is, besides being a
musical top this is sleepy top. If
spin it and sit here listening to it
hum and play lullaby music I fall
asleep. That top would make any
body fall asleep"
Would it?" asked Uncle Wiggily,
curious-like and investigating.
"Oh, yes" barked the store dog.
'If I were to spin it again now l
would fall asleep and pretty soon
you would fall asleep and then we
would both be asleep and we
couldn't do business. So it's better
for you to buy this musical top as is
SO to speak, and try it when you get
home. 1t would be all right for you
to fall asleep at home. But
wouldn't like you falling asleep in
my store
why not?" asked the rabbit.
Because" answered the jolly dog
"other customers might pass and
look in, and seeing you asleep they
might think I wasn't doing any
business. Then they wouldn't come
in"
But if they looked in and sa"
you asleep, wouldn't they think the
same thing?" asked Uncle Wiggily
laughing.
"Hark!" suddenly barked the dog
81 heard a noise!' And what the
noise was and who made it I'll tell
you tomorrow night. Then the story
will be about Uncle Wiggily's sleepy
| top. And if the snow shovel will give
the gas stove a match for the elec-
trio light, it will not have to go tc

nation called Russia. They feel that
Russia is of the czarist past. The U.
S. S. r. they prefer to have referred
to as Soviet Union. Contrary to
common belief u. S. s. r.. does not
state for United Soviet States OF
Russia. 1t stands Union of Social
ist Soviet Republics.
While one phase OF the farm re-
lief program is the drive to reduce
acreage of farm products, scientists
at the agriculture department are
constantly experimenting with other
ways of controlling nature. For in
stance, one trouble California date
growers have had is due to the fact
their dates ripen just at the time
the market is flooded with luscious
apples, pears and other fruit.
So DR.. Walter T. Swingle and col
leagues went to work. Now they ad-
wise that by artificial pollenation--
using pollen from wild date palm
used as an ornamental plant-the
fruit of the Deglet Moor palm will
not ripen until very late in the sea-
son. In this way the date will come
along when the apples and pears
have gone.
The agriculture department ran
into one trouble that scientists fail
ed to notice when cotton was plowed
under. It was found that the dan
gerous boil weevil was breeding ra-
pidly in the discarded cotton bolls.
Now there is a drive on TO prevent
the weevil from developing, in or
der that acreage next year will be
sufficient for consumption purposes.
