She accepted the invitation with no intention of parting with her precious but she fell among; high-pressure salesmen and in an unguarded moment she affixed her signature to a contract to purchase a vacant lot for the $6,000 cash she had in a savings bank.

We have had a "long hard pull," but we must realize that it's the one who works hardest who becomes the greatest and the most highly honor ed. Examination time is coming and this will be the final test; to learn if we shall gain our goal. Of course if we have been faithful in our work and "burned the midnight oil" dur- ing the entire year we shall have nothing to fear, but if we have ne glected and put off our work we can not expect to come out on the "winning team." Examinations are the tests to see what knowledge we have gained in a year.

And so we can not "cram" into our minds all of this material in a day or even a week or two, ev en though we may think we' have au perior mental capacity. We shall be sure to find ourselves in a miserable state of remorse at the end of our "Jiiminations because of our negli-eafod in the fore part of the year. But let us not be pessimists mid always look on the dark side of life for examinations are not yet over and if we do our very best and strive to make the mark, I am sure we will not be entirely left behind although we can not expect to get the same grades as those who worked faithfully through the entire year. So next year we will know whal to do in the beginning of the year so as not to be on the losing team but on the winning one.

R. Hlnman of the New 7ork State Col lege of Agriculture at Ithaca. Corn barley, oats, boiled cull potatoes ann the like can be made the basil of the energy and heat-forming portion! ol the feed. tlrowth-produrtng foods cin be pro tided in meat-meal tankage, fish meal oil meal, alfalfa hay, and good kitrh en waste. These will also care for part or all of the mineral require ments.

unless tbe ration Is known tc be low In needed minerals. For ordinary purposes, however Professor Hlnman recommends tics following: A hundred pounds of hoiu Iny. cot'umeal, or ground barley; hundred pounds each of ground oat and wheat bran; 30 pounds of oil men fish meal, or tnnkage; and If pounds of chopped alfalfa hay. As I dully ration, he suggests feeding from one to three pounds, depending on the size and condition of the sow. He says also that If house waste, sweep Ints from the cow mangers, or pool silage are available, they may be spread on the ground where the sows ran get at them.

Skim milk may tak the place of tthe protein part of th above ration, ne says. The breeder should remember that he Is feeding not only the sow but the young pigs. Professor Hlnman de clures, and he should make ample provision for the heavy drain on the sow's vitality, particularly toward the end of her pregnant period, as that It when the most growih of the young pigs tikes place. Foo4 Value of Molasses Feeding molasses bus a food value of Its own, especially In cold weather. when Its heat-productng carbohydrates furulsh energy In abundance.

That Is one reason why stock that li fed molasses will usually be found In the spring with slick, shiny coats. It alio adds to the palatablltty of feeds, especially roughage, and will encourage the cows to eat more of this. Live Stock Items The only stock that should be abundantly watered Is live stock, It does not pay to grind or soak corn for pigs or large hogs. Keep the horses busy. Every da) they stRiid Idle Increases their np-keep.

Water Is essential for ill animals, but I bountiful supply Is eipeclnlly laa-portint for young, growing anlmali. It Is perhaps not surprising that the value of skim milk fnr pigs on pasture seems to be lever than for pig In dry let. Colts should not be shut up In a close, poorly ventilated barn; neither shenld they be forced to endure all kinds of weather outdoors.

RICHARD HENRY LEE, Signer The famous resolution declaring the American Colonies to be "free and independent states" was introduced in the Continental Congress by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, one of the Signers of tho Declaration of Independence. The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the famous document will be celebrated by the Scsqui-Contcnnial Internat ional Exposition in Philadelphia, extending from June I to December 1 was a lead-rr of one of the most distinguished of the thirteen origlnwl a commonwealth which has given a famous quota of riUt.snicn to the service of the Uni ted l'c was bom in Stratford, Virginia, in 1732, was educated in KngUiwJ, and returned to America at Ilia 'age of nineteen. In a very short time, the young Virginian (lie was only twenty-five) entered the Iloufc of Burgesses where he soon became noted for his ability as a dchator and as a clear political writer. He was among the foremost men of the state in putting in motion the machinery against royal oppression.

A brilliant display of eloquence characterized Lee's speech in Congress on June 7, 177G, when he of fered the historic resolutions declar ing: (1) that the thirteen colonies were and ought ot be free and independent states; (2) that foreign alliances should be made, and (3) that steps should be taken to adopt a general plan for confederation. Lee left Congress in June 1777, but was again a member of that body in 1778-80, in 1784-85 and 1786-87. In 187 he was chosen president of Congress but retired at the end of the year. He was opposed to the National Constitution because it superseded State supremacy. However, he supported Washington's administration, and was United States Senator from Virginia from 1789 to 1792.

He died in Chantilly, Virginia, in 1794. SUMMER CAMP FOR UNDER.

May 19 Persis- tent rumors that the time limit set for reinstating and converting War Risk Insurance would be extended by Congressional action received their quietus in recent official warning that all applications must be in the mail, or delivered to an office of the United States Veterans Bureau, on or before July 2nd, 1926. H. J. Crosson, Manager of the Philadel phia Regional Office, based this announcement on advice from the As sistant Director in charge of Claims and Insurance at Washington to all offices under his jurisdiction. Mr.

Crosson quoted figures showing that thousands of local ex-service men who have been fully advised of the facts by the campaign of publicity his office began last December intend to buy but are holding back because of hearsay that the present date of July will be extended. His records demonstrate that fifty-one out of every hundred inquirers buy this insurance at onz and the majority of the remaining forty-nine intend to, but for various reasons postpone action. If the pre valent belief of an extension by Congress is not exploded -July 2nd will arrive before they have moved in the matter and it will then be too late. He further stated that attempted applications which are incomplete cannot be approved nor can they be completed after July 2nd, 1926. Un der the present law there is no au thority for approving applications for conversion or for reinstatement and conversion after that ate, except those which are completed and mailed or delivered to an office of the Veterans' Bureau, before July 2nd 1926, All such applications, he said, must include ft complete re port of physical examination by a physician together with a check cov ering at least the first month's pre mium.

If there is reinstatement in addition to conversion this check must also contain an amount equal to one months premium on the Risk Insurance at the rate in ef fect when it was dropped, BILL BOOSTER SAYS: ORQERIUf ARTIOCS PROA PA.NIU5 CASH BEFORE VOU SEE TWE SOOOS, WMYIWO A VJEEK UlfCIUTHBI COWS AUD THEU JWtlUfc WBtOWT OH.
