For instance, instead of Leachmg‘ i the students the abstractions of economics an sociology, it is pro-| | posed to apply these theories directly to local events and prob i lems and produce practical results. The knowledge is to be i brought right down to the concrete. Maine, with other states, 1 Bas its problems of immigration, forestry, workmen’s compen-| 4 gation, taxation, local government and direction of public util- \ ; ities. Most colleges deal with these subjects in a general and| i eoretical way; the Maine institution proposes to handle Lhemi ¥ in an applied and practical way. } § i H All friends and acquaintances are. herewith extended a cordla) invitation to take “tea” with the “Fords” each . afternoon during the present week : e S o i This appeals as something Lommenddbly fine and a model for other state colleges. Study of civic, economic and social sub-| jects usually is along vague lines and without special apflica tion. It is worth while to turn out annually a large student body | equipped to deal understandingly with thn problems of life about them. These future citizens begin their duties to their state and city with an intelligent knowledge of the fundamen-| i tals of their state and municipal government and should be bet-| { ter citizens as a result. 1 i These questions of government are left largely to the poli tician class because the rest of citizenship is frankly unac- ‘quainted with them. The Maine idea is in the direction of| changing this and promoting a general understanding. To the ¥ extent that the college becomes the cradle of good citizenship| it will broaden the purpose of usefulness which there is now a| ‘disposition to lel]u]ge The opponents off highel education will have fewer flings at the university which equips its product e with the knowledge to serve the commonwealth and the am-f bition to do it.—Exchange. | “Mr.” Touring Ford $535.11 “Miss” Couplet Ford $686.09 OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR GOT OFF TOO EASY, AT THAT i The other day a New York magistrate sentenced a wealthy broker to | 15 days in jail for automobile speeding, and then proceeded to brag about it, and to bluster and threaten, as though he had done a vewy big and very brave thing. That he did a rather unusual thing, a thing all too unusual, is true; but it wasn’t very big or very brave when the circumstances are considered. The man thus sentenced had, it appeared, been arrested twelve times for various infractions of the automobile regulations. H4 had been ar- rested four times before for speeding, always getting off with a fine which did not disturb him greatly, and which certainly did not stop his lawlessness. For such a hardened offender, fifteen days in jail is g joke. If it had been a year, there might have been some sense in it. Magistrates have dealt and s still dealing all too delicately with speed| fiends. There ought to be more jail sentences, and they ought to be longer ~—not merely a few days in jail as a moral punishment, but a period in jnil‘ long enough to give the criminals ample time for reflection, repentance and; reform. . | When magistrates use- as little delicacy in handling automobile speed | fiends as they do in handling drunks, petty thieves and minor disturbers of| the peace, there will be less speeding and therefore fewer ucri(luts.—vDuw Juth Herald, : o) “Mr.” Tractor Ford “Master” Roadster Ford $681.00 $503.88 “Mrs.”AChaui:s Ford ; $393.27 You will find the Ford cozy home near thé Mifinesota ave- nue entrance, next to the Press Building.

A minister not a tho too modest to allow his name to be used ha: . describing it, he says the patient shows no symptom on Saturday night,| awakes Sunday feeling fine and cats a hearty breakfast. About church time the attack comes on and keeps him or hre at home. About noon the pa- tient feels easy and hungry and cats a good dinner. In the afternoon he is .able to walk out. He comes back and eats a hearty supper, but just about| (church time there is another attack. He retires early, slecps well, and on! «Monday morning is able to get up and go to worl The disease never| makes its appearance execept on Sunday, and never interferes with sleep or| ‘appetite. The pastor says there is no cure for it but faith, and that it is al sdisease which is ly carrying thousands to the devil. He suggests that a very appropriate name for it would be “Sunday sickness.”—Stillwater Ga-| zette.

FOR FARMS i A SHOCKING DEVICE A thief-proof device for holding small collections of money is a vexed| i problem which seems to have met with practical solution. The box itself tis not a box but a glass jar, filled with water. Coins are dropped into this ’_mr A magnet and electric wiring at the bottom, coming in: contact with i the coihs, insures that any pilfering hand which reaches down into the wa- 1 ter-and grasps the money will receive a stinging electrical shock. .. There are many instances in which such a device would prove useful. Schools are forever collecting money for some purpose and these funds are always subject to petty thievery. Small charitable collections suffer similar-| ly from the.depraved hand of the thief. A contraption which insures that | thi hand “it+ifs’ turn” shall do a little suffering should check thiévish en-! i thiisiasm and prot.uct the accumulating fund.—Little Falls Daily Transeript. | Fon DAYTON & The réport from Enw England that the textile mills are increasing ! their working force, and will soon be running at full capacity, is a hopcful! ‘sign. The east is getting back to normal sooner than is the west, but when ! the east gets busy, the west will follow. The south is also receiving a big | boost from the increased price of cotton. There is every reason to believe . that the prices of goods in which cotton forms a part, has rached the bot<’ | tom of the ladder, and is now climbing back to a higher level. Those who/| : are in the market for this line of fabries will probably save money by buy-| ing now, before the advance, Mmh seems sure to come.—St. Cloud Dmly' * Journal Press. . Jewett Co., Inc.
