TEN GOD REASONS WHY YOU
SHOULD GRADUATE FROM HI
1. A. high school diploma will
add to your education. In business
and education, a higher estimate is
set upon the graduate than the un-
dergraduate.
2. After graduating from high
school, you will be better prepared
to select your vocation. “He who
knows how to select his life’s work
and how to follow it after it is se-
lected, is already rich.
3. Completing your course will
strengthen your character, because
it will bring you into vital touch
with strong personalities and strong
forces. Character is the greatest of
all priceless human possessions.
4. The person with a high
school education has a stronger mind
than the person who dropped out be-
fore finishing. The mind has been
working on all the mental gist it has
had to grind the last few years and
it is stronger than those minds
which have not worked. After you
have earned a diploma from high
school, you will be better able to
analyze, make comparisons and
reach conclusions.
5. A broader vision is another
priceless gift of the high school
graduate. The graduate ought to
see farther on his knees than the
undergraduate on his tiptoes.
6. The educated person, whether
in youth or age, can spend his leis-
ure hours more profitably and en-
joyably than can the uneducated. It
is said that the American, though
rich, is not happy when he retires
because too often he has neglected
his early training and has no interest
except the business which he for-
sakes, and when this is forsaken
much of his remaining life is blank.
7. A high school training adds
poise.
8. Dignity.
9 Confidence, and
10. Success.

The same idea of loyalty impels

AN INQUIRY FOR
ALL THE FACTS
A very able editorial in the Port-
land Oregonian comments on the ac-
tion of Congress rejecting a “Spec-
ial Senate Committee” for investiga-
tion of the power industry, in favor
of an investigation by the Federal
.Trade Commission, a body duly
authorized and qualified to conduct
such a hearing. It says:
“The Senate voted for an inquiry
that should impartially seek and re-
port all the facts.”
It then pointed out that eai'ly in
the discussion of the resolution de-
manding a Senate investigation, in-
stead of a Federal Trade Commission
investigation, it was evident that the
aim was to secure enactment by Con-
gress of a law subjecting pi’oduction
and distribution of electric power,
including rates, to federal regula-
tion, in disregard of the facts that
91 per cent of electric energy gen-
erated in the United States is pro-
duced and consumed within individu-
al states and that all states except
Delaware have regulatoi'y commis-
sions. This would nullify “states’
rights.”
In regal’d to the demand for an in-
quiry as to whether utility com-
panies, “through the expenditure of
money or. through control of avenues
of publicity, have made any and
what effort to influence or control
public opinion on account of munici-
pal owenership,” it x-emarks:
“Efforts to ‘influence or conti’ol’
are a proper subject of inquiry, but
the suggestion that persons engaged
in the power industry are to be held
up to public condemnation for en-
deavoring to influence public opin-
ion against being compelled to sell
out in order to make way for public
ownership, is a denial of one of the
elementary rights of citizens.
“State utility commissioners, in-
vestment bankers, life insurance men
and attorneys for utility companies
and manufaetui’ers associations ap-
peared. All approved of the inquiry
provided it should be held by a body
that would find and report all the
facts.

“There will be an investigation,
and it will be thorough and free
from political fii’ewoi’ks. It will be
confined to matters within the pow-
er of Congress, though, as original-
ly planned, it would arbitarily have
invaded the functions of the state.”

Treating seed wheat with coppei’-
carbonate dust is an effective and
practical method of preventing
“smut” in wheat. Two ounces per
bushel has proved sufficient in most
cases. Use only copper carbonates
that are manufactured especially
for seed treatment. The best way
to apply the dust is to mix it with
the garin in some kind of a rotating
machine, or barrel mixer, until each
kernel is completely covered with
dust. A mixing machine may be
made on the farm by using an old
barrell churn, a water-tight barrell,
or a steel oil di’um. A concrete mix-
er is sometimes available and can be
used satisfactoi’ily. Smut in wheat
is responsible for much loss to farm-
ers, discounts often amounting to
from a few cents to 25 cents a
bushel.
Light brown sugar has a more
delicate flavor for candy-making
than dark brown sugax*. Butter is
more pleasing in delicately flavored
candies than substitutes. Always use
butter to grease your candy pans,,
for the fat used is sure to taste..

When you want to make a meat
loaf, have the butcher cut off a
fresh piece of meat and grind it
while you look on, or take the meat
home and grind it yourself. Use
the ground meat the day it was
bought if possible.
