~ em MAN WINS BACK BRIDE HE LOST Secret Vow Made in Divorce Court Led Husband to Make Good. HAD LIVED TOO HIGH L. F. Reynolds of Los Angeles Weath. ers Business and Family Crash and Returns After Three Years to Wife and Son. Los Angeles.—Renewing a romance which hinged on a secret agreement made at the time of their divorce in Denver, Colo., three years ago, Linn F. Reynolds of this city and his for- mer wife have just been married the second time. “She told me that if I would go away and make good we would be mar- ried again,” said Reynolds. “Now we have carried out our promises to each other—promises known to none but God and ourselves, Three months be- fore the decree was granted, our little son, John David, was born, and it was that little mite of humanity, more than anything else, that determined us to live down the past and make a new home.” Lived Beyond Their Means. When Louise Lawlor married Linn Reynolds, she was a popular society girl, just twenty years old, the daugh- ter of a wealthy manufacturer of Den- ver, Reynolds, twenty-two years old, was In business and was making $4,000 year. But he and his bride had not learned to value money, and lived far beyond their means. Soon the crash came. Reynolds was left without a dollar and heavily in debt. This, with other complications, made trouble for them which ended tn the divorce court. But before they parted they agreed that, if the husband lived down the past, some ¢ they would marry again, “For awhile after the divorce,” said Reynolds, “I kept slipping until I was down and out completely. Everybody was knocking me, and the world looked pretty blue. Finally I borrowed enough Ended in the Divorce Court. money to leave Denver and go to San Francisco, But I failed in every ef- fort I made to get along. Discouraged and almost penniless, I went to Los Angeles, and there for six months I all but starved, working as an extra at six dollars a week in motion pic- ture studios. It seemed as if fate had decreed that I must never again see my wife and baby.” i Husband “Came Back.” But one day Reynolds saw his chance, took advantage of it, and won ‘out. Stories of his success reached his former wife. Yet not one word did they write each other until a short time ago, when Reynolds sent her a letter reminding her of their secret promise, declaring that he still loved her, and that he wanted to hear his little boy call him “daddy.” ‘The very next mail brought the girl's answer, and a few days later she was in Los Angeles with curly-headed John David. WANTED SON IN CHAIN GANG Georgia Mother Preferred That to Having Him Sent to the Reformatory. Atlanta, Ga.—‘“Try my boy for boot- legging and send him to the chain gang, judge, but don't send him back to that reform school,” was the plea made before Judge Johnson by the mother of D. A. Dougherty, an eight- een-year-old boy, who was brought be- fore the recorder on a charge of hay- ing failed to return to the reformatory after having been given a leave of ab- sence to have his teeth fixed at At- Janta. His mother charged that he had been given 80 lashes and put on bread and water and that he had been forced to work “like a dog” at the reformatory. Blinded by Sunlight. Manhattan, Kan.—A flash of sun- light on newly painted woodwork caused L. E. Wood of Newton, Kan., to lose his eyesight. Physicians say it may be permanent.

Return of the Girl Intrusted to Family. "New Haven.—Mrs. Florence Pedmore of Hartford, Conn., found in a high school at New Haven her fifteen-year- old daughter, Dorothy, whom she lost twelve years ago and for whom she kept up a continuous search since. Her search led her through Philadelphia, over the mountains of Pennsylvania, as far west as Chicago and to parts of Connecticut. Mrs. Pedmore said she resided in Philadelphia twelve years ago when she paid a visit to her mother in Pitts- burgh, and for so doing her husband deserted her. The Brickleys lived in the latter city and she allowed her child to ive with them, Suddenly they moved away and she was unable to locate them. Recently she received a letter from New Haven, Conn., saying her daugh- ter was in a Pennsylvania town. She hunted the writer of the letter instead and found the Brickley family in New Haven. Mrs. Pedmore is a hairdresser and says she is able to support Doro- thy and give her a good education. COLLEGE PUTS BAN ON BETS Many Students at Lawrence Univer- sity “Go Broke” on Foot- ball Game. Appleton, Wis.—Because a large number of Lawrence college students bet on the Ripon-Lawrence football game and had te borrow money or ride “blind baggage” to get home, President Plantz put the official lid on betting, . A number of students also lost such large sums on the presidential election chat they were forced to leave school.

A prediction that within a few years | this city would adopt the city manager plan of government was made by Rich- ard S. Childs, in introducing Henry M. Waite, city manager of Dayton O., the speaker at the second Saturday afternoon luncheon of the City club ~! New York. Mr. Waite, who took over the direction of the affairs of | Dayton on January 1, 1914—after Gen. George Goethals had refused the post |—outlined to about 50 members what he had done to earn his $12,500 y« ly salary. Mr. Waite, the dean of cit r- managers, was referred to as “logical- | ly, New York's first manager.” “Out In Dayton we run our municl- “First, the people elect a council or commission of five members, whose duty it is to look about through the country and locate a man who might capably direct the city’s affairs. When one such is found, the commission questions him about his experience and so forth, In much the same way a busi- ness man does when he hires a clerk. If the applicant measures up to the standard, he is hired, and he, in turn, selects the heads of the five départ- ments of finance, law, service, safety and welfare, “In selecting the heads of depart- ments ability and experience and not politics count. Personally, I don't know of what political persuasion my departmental heads are. In this way we are able to get many men who oth- erwise would not think of running for office, under the old conditions. For example, the head of the welfare de- partment is a clergyman, thoroughly capable to study out the park and ree- reation needs of our population. “Take our finance department as an example of the efficiency obtainable | under the new plan of government. We have our finances so systematized that I—or any other citizen—can tell at a moment down to a cent just how any of the subdiylsions of our budget stand.” NEEDS BRAINS OF ENGINEERS Underlying All City Planning Is the Necessity to Secure Health and Comfort for the People. City planners are always busied with clyie centers, city halls, libraries, piiks, playgrounds, street trees, com- fort stations, etc., all grand features, all desirable, all even necessary, yet all incidentals, ‘The first problem to grap- ple with is availability. Such work is at present our greatest need, for all one so-called main thoroughfares are no too much congested during the buslest hours. This is an engineer's problem. Storm drains and also sewers are next on the program, also referred to the engineer's department. After this we need reservations for small neighborhood parks so that every resi- dent may reach one from his home in a ten-minutes’ walk. Now, having made our city available and sanitary to a satisfactory degree we are ready to make it a city beautiful and consider all the commendable fads put forward by bands of energetic workers who for many years have made large noises but accomplish nothing. But let us first have the engineer and have him give us a substantial foundation on which to lay the city.—Los Angeles Times, How Our Cities Have Grown. A metropolis grows up in two ways. At first it expands legitimately, adding furlong to furlong of growth. Then it leaps forward and seizes a large area overnight by act of legislature or parliament, sweeping into its net a score of villages and settlements. Then it proceeds to consolidate its position, as General Joffre might say, by filling up the intervening spaces. In Euro- pean cities they have an inner ring, which is the old city, and an outer ring, which may be anything. New York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, have their inner rings, which are the legitl- mate city, and the outer ring, which came by the get-big-quick method. New York succumbed to the promoter’s fever in 1898. In that year the city absorbed large areas of virgin soll, and a chain of independent villages, some of them nearly as old as Manhat- tan itself. From the Sound to the At- lantic they stretch across the backbone of Long island and the lower har- Wor of Staten island, where the local tradition, In spite of municipal ferries and promised tunnels, has remained at its strongest. Such frenzied expansion is the rea- son why the traveler in the nearer sub- rbs of a great city will often come cross a city line which is no longer the city line. As you near the old city line from the heart of population, the solid blocks of apartments and flats thin out. There follow stretches of waste land, market gardens, cemete- ries, It is across this zone between the old and the new city lines that the transit railways throw their surface lines and elevated “extensions,” and close behind them are the. builders, criss-crossing the raw acres with their Jong lines of “frame” an# brick.—Har- per’s Magazine, | IN U.S. SCHOOL Larger Proportion of Population Students Than in Other Leading Countries. EMPLOY 706,000 TEACHERS Expenditures for Education Reach $1,- 000,000,000 Annually, Half of | Which Goes for Public Ele- mentary Instruction. There were 23,500,000 persons attend- Ing schools of some kind in the United States in 1916, according to estimates {of Uncle Sam. “This means,” declares | the annual report of the commissioner of education, “that approximately 24 per cent of the inhabitants of the | United States are attending school, as |compared with 19 per cent in Great Britain, 17 per cent in France, 20 per cent in Germany, and a little over 4 per cent in Russia.” The bureau points out, however, that the result is much |less favorable to the United States if daily attendance, rather than enroll- ment, is taken n¢ the basis for compari- son, since some of the other nations have better attendance and a longer school term than the United States. The number of pupils in public kin- dergarten and elementary schools rose from 16,900,000 in 1910 to 17,935,000 in 1914, an increase of more than a mil- lion in four years. In the same period the number of public high school stu- dents increased from 915,000 to 1,219,- 000; and for 1915 the corresponding figure was 1,829,000. As the result of this increase of 110,000 in public high school students the total number of students in the 14,000 high schools of all kinds increased to 1,500,000. Of the | 11,674 public high schools reported, | 8,440 had full four-year courses. Ap- proximately 93 per cent of all public high school students are in four-year high schools, Teachers Number 706,000. | The report analyzes the number of teachers in the United States, show- | ing that of the 706,000 teachers, 169,- 000 were men and 537,000 women, The number of man teachers has increased very slightly since 1900; the number of tvoman teachers has almost doubled. In public elementary schools the number of man teachers has decreased 20 per cent since 1900, while the number of woman teachers has increased 8 per cent. In 1900 teaching positions in public high schools were evenly di- vided between men and women. At the present time women outnumber the men by 8,000, The avernge annual sal- ary of all teachers is $525. The figure is highest in the East and North Atlan- tie states, with $699 and $696, respect- ively, and lowest in the South Atlantic states, $829. It varies from $234 in Mississippi to $871 in California, and $941 in New York. Expenditures for education in 1914, partly estimated, totaled close to $800,- 000,000. An estimate, making due al- lowances for the intervening two years and for items necessarily omitted, would easily bring the nation’s current educational expenditure to $1,000,000,- 000. Public elementary schools cost in 1915 approximately $500,000,000; pub- lic high schools, $70,000,000; private elementary schools, $52,000,000 ; private secondary schools, $15,000,000; univer- sities, colleges and professional schools, $100,000,000; normal schools, $15,000,- 000, Of the $555,077,146 actually reported for public schools in 1914, $898,511,104 was by the North Atlantic and North Central states. New York expended $66,000,000 ; Pennsylvania, $52,000,000; Tilinois, $39,007,314; Ohio, $35,172,950; California, $26,579,804; Massachusetts, 25,492,292, and New Jersey, $23,284,- 096. Six states, New Hamphire, Ver- mont, Delaware, Wyoming, New Mexi- co and Nevada, expended less than $2,- 000,000, On a per capita basis Utah ranked highest, with an expenditure for education of $10.07, Idaho expended $9.66 per capita of population, North Dakota, $9.62; Montana, $9.50; Ari- zona, $8.98, and Washington, $8.89; while Mississippi spent $1.48, South Carolina, $183; Alabama, $1.97, and Georgia, $1.98. Millions in Gifts. Gifts and bequests to education amounted to $31,357,398 in 1914, of which $26,670,017 was for universities and colleges, $1,558,281 for theological schools and $1,495,773 for law schools. Since 1896 sums aggregating $407,000,- 000 have been given to educational in- stitutions by private donors. In discussing educatiounl movements the report points out that most of the recent contributions are in the domain of practice rather than in theory. The report declares: “There seems to be a clearer vision as to the essential alms of education. Educational surveys have multiplied to a remarkable ex- tent; almost no field has now been left untouched, and the latest findings in scientific measurements are being utilized in survey work. The health movement in education has experienced a notable stimulus from the prepared- ness situation and the demand for military training. Rural education has more and more enlisted the interest of the general public outside of profes- sional circles and has clearly become a problem of administration and financ- ing, rather than promotion. Vocational education is advancing slowly, but steadily, in a way that seems to afford the best possible guaranty of perma- Bence.’ Woman Cares for Surpius Mil- lions of the Red Men. As Result of Her Vigilance, Uncle Sam Has Made Record of Never Losing Penny for His Wards. How many guardians can congratu- late themselves upon the fact that they have never lost a penny for a ward during a period of half a dozen years? Uncle Sam, however, can say this for himself when it comes to the guardianship over the money of his Indian wards. This is somewhat not- able in itself, but it is still more so when it is realized that a woman looks after the surplus cash of the Indians and sees that it is safely banked and that the highest possible rate of inter- est is secured. There are thousands of Indian bank depositors in the United States, and their cash holdings amount to over $10,000,000. Their tribal holdings in banks amount to $4,000,000 more, mak- ing a total of $22,000,000 on deposit. It is the duty of Miss Edith A. Fries of the bureau of Indian affairs at Wash- ington to see that the money is placed to the best possible advantage of its owners, and also to make sure that it is fully protected. Miss Fries takes no chances, or the government record could hardly stand flawiess as it does today, with not a loss of a single dollar to be accounted for, Every chance of loss is elimi- nated by the thorough manner in which she goes about her work of safe- guarding the money in her care. In the first place, no banks are per- mitted to serve as depositaries of In- dian funds except such as are able to give evidence of stability and safe management; in the second, no dollars enter their coffers until they are cov- ered, dollar for dollar, by bonds, which secure their safety. It has happened in a few instances that a bank, after serving acceptably for several years, has suffered reverses and closed its doors, but in every case the full amount due the Indians was collected from the sureties on the bonds. To keep the funds in her charge in this condition of happy security, Miss Fries has to give a full gay’s work six days of every week to her task. She has become well acquainted with national bank operations and with the laws of the state banking departments of every section in which Indians hold residence, She has learned the ca- pacity of the leading banks in those sections and also the highest rate of interest each can pay, and she makes It her business to procure for the Indians the highest possible price for their money consistent with safety. The government, be it known, does not permit the Indians to handle the moneys which accrue to them in one way and another unless they have de- veloped to a condition of self-helpful- ness, and shown entire competency to manage their own affairs. The money derived by them from the sale of lands granted by the government or through the development of resources on their allotments is not paid to them outright, bat is given to the Indian field super- intendents, who handle the funds for the Indians in their agencies. When a superintendent accumulates a large trust sum, as he frequently does, he invites the state and national banks in the vicinity of the agency to submit bids as to interest rates. These rates are sent to the Indian office, and it Is the work of Miss Fries to consider them and to select a bank or banks in which to place the funds. Many banks regard Indian moneys as desirable de- posits, and as a result good interest rates are quoted. It is not unusual to receive 4 per cent on check accounts, On time deposits the rate often reaches 5 per cent and occasionally 6 Banish Worry and Live Longer, Says Uncle Sam The public health service, which has been gathered statis- tics on nervous diseases and their tendency to shorten life, has Issued a bulletin against worrying. “So far as Is known,” says the bulletin, “no bird ever tried to build more nests than its neigh- bor; no fox ever fretted because he had only one hole in which to hide; no squirrel ever died of anxiety lest he should not lay by enough nuts for two winters instead of for one; and no dog ever lost any sleep’ over the fact that he did not have enough bones laid aside for his declin- ing years." Clothing Output Large. Approximately half a billion dollars’ worth of men’s and boys’ clothing is manufactured In the United States every year. Uncle Sam's census statis- tics on the industry, just made pub- lic, show the total value of the output in 1914 was $458,210,985. There were 4,830 establishments engaged in the in- dustry during that year, giving employ- ment to 200,809 persons. To Open Big Coal Field. ‘ Uncle Sam's geologists estimate that there are 10,000,000,000 tons of lignite coal in the Nenana field of Alaska, which will_be opened up by the govern- ment railroad now under construction from Seward to Fairbanks. . c WINTER QUARTERS FOR SOWS Necessary That Animal Have Suitable Shelter, Proper Amount of Ex- ercise and Good Feed. (By B, l. THOMPSON, Associate in Ani- mal Husbandry, South Dakota State College.) If the sow Is to be properly cared for during the winter months it is necessary that she have suitable shel- ter, a proper amount of exercise and that she be fed not only liberally but upon feeds that furnish the uecessary nutrients required by the pregnant sow. Suitable shelter can be supplied by hoghouses of various types and the style of house used will depend upon the conditions existing upon any cer- tain farm, Whatever kind of house is used it should be well ventilated, dry and well lighted. Portable houses may be used advantageously part of Healthy Sow and Litter. the year, but at farrowing time a well- planned and well-built structure is needed. Personally, I prefer a house with the semimonitor type of roof and one of sufficient width for two rows of pens with a feed alley between them, The length will depend upon the num- ber of sows that are to be housed in it. The pitch of the roof should be such that the sun's rays will fall upon the north row of pens during the mid- die of the day. Of course this type of house should always face the south. In a building of this sort it is much easier to care for the sows than it is when small individual houses are used. Especially is this true at the farrow- ing time as one man can properly look after a much larger number of sows than when they are scattered about in a number of different small houses. DOCTOR SHEEP WITH WORMS Drenching With Copper Sulphate Is Recommended by Animal Hus- bandmen at Ohio Station. permanent Stomach worms and tapeworms, which cause enormous losses to sheep raisers each year, may be treated sat- isfactorily by drenching with copper sulphate, according to animal hus- bandmen at the Ohio experiment sta- tion. Digestive gisturbances, malnu- trition and general weakness are symp- toms of these pests in sheep. For 8 to 20 hours before treatment the sheep are fasted. They ure then drenched with a bottle or with a rub- ber tube and funnel. Two fluid ounces of a solution made by dissolving an ounce of copper sulphate (blue vit- riol) in two quarts of water is suffi- cient for a yearling, while a two-year- old sheep requires three fluid ounces. CLOVER AND ALFALFA VALUE Roughage Used In Feeding Tests With Lambs at the Ohio Experi- ment Station. When both roughages were of equal quantity, clover and alfalfa had about equal values for fattening lambs in feeding tests at the Ohio experiment station. Alfalfa usually is harvested in bet- ter condition -than clover, and co:n- mands a higher price on the market. The results of these feeding tests justify a warning to feeders not to cvervalue alfalfa to the extent of feed- ing an inferior grade of this hay when good clover may be had at a lower price—Ohio Experiment Station.
