Mount Ararat is to have and a summer resort The nountain rears itself 17,000 f in the ambie ng to reports, and it has been viewed by travelers whose name is legion, but its summit ha been negotiated by few. Rather bleak and cold it rises and it presents little in the way of attractive feature But now, after these thousands of years, some human eye with a vision all its own has focused on it and decided that it may be made to welcome the sight-seeing wayfarer with coin. By means of a winding railway this visionary hopes to summon the traveling many to its far summit and to give th there rest and food and recreation The scheme may win, as other less pretentious scheme have, and Ararat may take its common place in the itiner ary of the tourist and pleasure-seeker along with Biliou Springs, Malaria Meadows, Ant Hills, Chigre Mountains, Bacillus Lakes and the like—who knows? However it may have appeared to others of more recent times cer tainly looked good to Captain Noah and his after that memorable wet spell zoological crew Great Brains HEY have some unusually smart city fathers down at Canton, Missouri, if anybody asks you—deep thinkers, and all that.

A rope 350 feet long was tied to that turtle’s tail. | Then the turtle was put down in the sewer and admonished to get action. The turtle did it. He traveled a block of the sewer in 45 minutes and finally appeared at the end of the pipe a little groggy and muddy, but with spirit unimpaired. And the sewer was open for. business. Smart? You said it. Even a bootlegger couldn't have given a better brain than that to any sort of a stunt. Education E ARE beginning to wonder a bit about this matter of education. It seems to be quite thoroly impreg nated with teaching, but how about learning? We ask” you. They had an intelligence test of the freshmen at the Michigan agricultural college the other day, and its result Was{a revelation. Answering questions, these aspiring students made known that Magnus Johnson is a baseball pitcher, Irvin S. Cobb is a great baseball player, the battle of Lexington was fought in 1620, the Mayo brothers are manufacturers of cough drops, an oyster bed is an acre of diamonds, a cutlass is a cannon, and Madras is a pre-Volsteadian drink. That’s what that college is up against. But turn to Wisconsin and see what happened. A bright-faced young woman, made application for,a teach- er’s Heenge-in one of the Madge towns. “Who is Robert La Follette?” asked her examiner, making it easy. Rob- ert La Follette,” she replied with confidence, “is a French- man who came to America during the war.” Can you beat it? And look at Oregon. The class was being orally ex- amined in mathematics. “Tillie Mook,” said the teacher, “you may tell me what is a subtrahend?” “A subtrahen,” replied Tillie, her face all aglow with knowledge, “is a hen that lays more eggs than the common kind.” Father and Son hp gas ROOSEVELT is being run for governor of New York. Prominent among the bosses handling the job for him is Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, a lame duck, who was rejected by the voters of his own state because of his standpat record in congress.
