Now that commencement is over in the colleges and the higt closed for the long vacation, there is a flood of help thrown upon the country to be taken care of for the next few months. In handling the summer trade many of these find remunerative em- ployment, but in offices and business houses this vacation help comes at a| ] ——————————————————— schools have time when business lets up and W add@itional hands are wanted. The supply is therefore much greater than the demand, and yet it is at this se: son that many of the young peop seeking an education find it necessary to get out and Rustle for their next year's tuition. Such applicants for employment read adapt themselves to most any line of opportunity so long as the rec- ompense is adequate.

HAUL DOWN FALSE COLORS: 'The third party has great hepes of bleeding the republiean party for its strength and suppert, and plans to do this by seizing the organizatlen in a number of the states, according to the statements lssued by the bolters, in- stead of organizing anew under their own standards. In such state organ- izations the bolters, doubtless, are in control, but they control organizations which they do not, as holters, belleve in. It ig their duty to desert the ship if they adhere to the red bandana's cau: and not travel under false col- Either they must do that or they must change their name and per- mit the republican party to be sep- arate, fpr while they controlled prior to the national convention, a few un- governable radicals cannot turn the rank and file of the party. Another similar circumstance sur- rounds those who have been chosen in ome of the states as electors on the ular republican ticket. It was sup- posed by them that Roosevelt would be the nominee and they would vote for him, but by virtue of the party which selected them they now repre- sent President Taft. If they do mot so intend to vote in the electoral col- lege it is their duty to resign and be chosen as the electors of the third party and their vacancles filled by Taft men as representative of the republi- can party, In each state the electors are morally bound to stand for the nominee of the party convention. No one can prevent them from represent- ing whom they will, but it should be done honestly and net by maintaining 1 false position before the people. They must declare for/ne or the other. CHILDREN’S GARDENS. In the work of beautifying a city, which movement has covered a wide territory, an important factor has been found to be the planting of flower gar- dens at home, and where in many cases the work is confined to the chil- dren, stimulated by the interest of par- ents or friends. the results are wonder.- ful. The interest of the children in gardening has not been confined alone to flowers, and whether flowers or small truck gardens the result is better than unattractive backyards. In Cinci says The American City, “a remarkable work has been done. Home gardens are now to be found on every side. The children are learning that in spite of unfavorable conditions th cceed, and they et stimulus from knowing that their teachers and other persons are inter- ested in what they can do. Whera the yvards are large, or a vacant lot an_be obtained, we find the young gardeners not only cleaning up and beautifying tie land but making it a source of profitable income. In the ittle backyard of the downtown home, which seems alw to serve the refuse can for the house, the garden, when it once gets a foothold, fs cer- tain to eliminate this evil, Gardens of this type are often unique. A pile of refuse makes a very good founda- tion for a tiny flower bed, which en- tirely covers it; a filled cistern offers ground sy e for g flourishing bed of radishes and lettuce; and where there no ds at all even, the garden flourishes.” * What has been so successfully car- ried out in other cities can done here in connection with the beautifica- tion. It needs a healthy start and plenty of stimulation to keep it alive at the beginning. EDITORIAL N(’)’T:VE?& Bryan, of course, i§ not selfish.

The bridesmaids were in the music room, having a late lunch, and miss- ing the ushers, who had had to go bacly to the city to be ready for the morrow’s work—which must be done even under the very nose of Romance. The maid of the house was all alone. She sat huddled up in a big leather chair in the cld dingy parlor, crying as if her heart would break. She must have missed the bride dreadfully. Over the hills the best man was tramping and puffing on an old pipe. Very fast he walked and very hard he puffed, and between puffs he talked aloud. “You are a nice sort of a chap,” he sald, savagely. “Poking off all by yourself (puff) Instead of belng the life of the party (puff), as ydu were heduled to be (puff-puff).

And her cheeks were pink and her eyes were very bright, and she was laughing. he best man had put his pipe in his pocket, along with his savage humor, and had prepared himself to be the life of the party. “Where are you going?’ he asked the maid of honor.

But she held her ground, laugh- ing up at him. “Give them to the woman I love,” he said softly. Suddenly the maid of honor felt very tired and she sank down on the first step of the wide stairs. The best man sat down beside her. But he did not look at her. He looked ogt the big front doorway, and sigh- ed. * “Why sad and pale, wan lover, prithee, why so pale?” The maid of honor's laughter trem- bled, and the best mgn turned to look at her, and her eves were full of tears, Suddenly he put his big hand on hers, “Little girl” he said, “T believe you have got a crumpled rose leaf. Let me be your father confessor. Won't you?” The maid of honor laughed unstead- ily. She spoke with an air of mystery, intended to be deceptive. And it was not a difficult thing to deceive the best man. “A crumpled rose leaf! It was a tragedy and I am doomed to be an old maid. Now I leave it to you—do I look like an old maid?” “You do not,” he said emphatically. “You are much too lovely. To pl: the role you should smooth back your hair, and draw_down your lips, and wear glasses and frown.” “That will come in time.

The best man waited for the laugh that always met his words, and when he did not hear it, he turned to meet| her merry eyes as bravely as he could. But the eyes were not merry and the face very pale. “Why, little girl—why, my dear lit- tle girl!” he sald. For she was crying. It is a beautiful, beautiful gold thim- ble!” she said, when an hour after somehow she brought herself and the best man back to the world of reality and found that they were sitting in the library in the big leather chair—plenty big enough for two.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN The moving picture fima: was show+ ing us how certain ssdsngulous views were made. To represent people climbing up a steep wall rapidly, you simply lay a wall scene on the floor and place the camera above it and let the people crawl by. In a similar way dogs and men can be shown running on ceilings. There are many strange things in human experfence that can be made plain by remembering that the brain is a camera on which events are re- corded as enes on a moving picture film. And there are persons with inverted s, tilted brains and brains that do not stand still, but wobble, and so pro- duce marvelous things. Many plain and ornamental liars are simply people who tell truly enough what they see, but who see abnormal- ly. Their conceptual camera is not acle mongers, folk who see vis- ions, psychic subjects, and the like, are such. Science is of value because it teaches us to hold the brain camera level. Those who believe outlandish non- sense, those who hold absurd and twisted views of life, see the same old world we only their camera is loose and shaky—or upside down. And whose brain- is perfectly firm and level? A Hospital for Sick Wheat. In Canada there is a ‘“hospital” where diseased wheat is. “cured” of va- rious complaints, the most common of which is that known as “smut.” This s a kind of fungoid growth which at- certain kernels of the wheat, and hanges the gluten and starch into a black dust. The dust adheres to the good kernels when the grain is threshed, greatly lowering its value. All the wheat grown within a cer- tain area of the “hospital” is inspect- ed by a grain inspector, who disquali- fies the diseased wheat, and orders it to be sent to the “hospital” for treat- ment. Arriving here, the grain is un- loaded from the vans by means of a steam shovel, and then disharged into a scale hopper, where it is weighed. The cleanest of the “smutty” wheat is then cleaned by the aid of huge brushing machines, and the very dirty is submitted to a washing process, and afterwards dried and treated with the brush. The wheat which is thick with dirt, but which has a pure kernel be- neath the coating of “smut,” is some- times scoured between pieces of met- al passing through a revolving ma- hever treatment is chosen for nt,” it is nearly always suc- and the grain eventually ap- s clean as though it had never been contaminated, Good Out of Evil.
