BE PRACTICAL.
If you are a young man or
woman and in independent cir
cumstances you may, if your
tastes run that way, pursue some
hobby, may indulge in a purely
theoretical education along some
line of art. But if your pros
pects are such that the probabili
ties are that you will later in life
"earn your bread by the sweat
of your, brow" it is the part of
wisdom to -confine yourself in
your studies to that which js emi
nently practical.
To be successful you must have
something to dispose of, and
whatever this that you possess
may be, your success depends j
- wholly upon the demand for
what you have. If you are a
merchant you must have in stock
what the people want what
they require, what is a necessity
with those whom you expect to
patronize you. When you have
these things you may expect to
be a successful merchant, pro
vided, you can sell as reasonably
as any competitor you are likely
to have.
So it is with, an education. A
young man or woman starting
out in life, expecting - to carve
their own destiny unassisted,
should come to an early realiza
tion of the fact that what they
store in their heads in the way
of knowledge must have value.
In order to have value it must
be along practical lines and such
'that is of use to the masses. It
is the same in trades in the in
dustrial fields. What you train
your hand and eye to do must be
along lines that are productive of
something that is of material
worth. The practical aim should
be to produce a given thing for
which there is a demand. When
you have prepared yourself to
meet these requirements then
you may have reason to hope for
success, for you have possessed
yourself of that which you can
barter eternally.
their own price and take what
they willed.
Do our wa;o earners care 0
much for the "other fellow"
that they want the value of what
their labor produces to fall to
low that foreign trade Iwill be
stimulated? Would they be
willing, in order to increase our
exports, to work on shorter hours
and less pay ? Do our farmers
and manufacturers want the
value of their products to decline?
Do they want this badly enough
to take reciprocity "sop" to the
effect that the "other fellow" is
going to do the noble act in all
cheds and play fair?

COULD AFFORD MORE.
OAC is the pride of our peo
ple. It is the biggest thing in
town, in fact, the largest college
in the state and the greatest Agri
cultural Collet ; on the coast.
We are too apt to forget the im
portance ot our college and its
work on account of its location
in our midst. We need a re

the curtain raised that we may
imbibe somewhat ot the ideas of
others.- We ring up the curtain

Rural Spirit:
The State Agricultural Col
leges afford a practical training
for the farm boy and girl. There
the young man may learn im
portant things connected with
the line ot work he has been
associated with all his life. He
will upon the completion of his
course be fitted to take up farm
work with renewed enthusiasm
There was never greater need for
trained heads in farm work than

The graduate of an agricultur

sense and judgment, possesses a
valuable asset, that will count
for pleasure and renumeration in
his pursuit of agriculture. The
farm girl will be benefitted equal

Far as he knew it would not be a

J. A. Carson, of this city, who
is chairman of the committee on
tax law, it is understood, will
have an interesting reoort to
make. More than ordinary, iu
terest centers in the railroad rate
aw. It is a proposition in which
members of the league, and the
railroad people are deeply inter
ested, as shown by recent develop
ments.
"Take off the duty' from
articles in which we are interest
ed and the foreigners will buy
more from us because we are
buying more from them." Such,
boiled to an essence, is the re
ciprocity program. If we take
away the duty on many things
we strike a blow at our own in
dustries. Take hides, for an ex
ample, when those produced by
foreign countries are allowed to
come to the United States duty
free, all those engaged in the
cattle raising industry must
necessarily have less money to
"spend, for the simply reason that
they will not have so good a
market as they had formerly.
It will be the same with wage
earners in steel. When they are
dut of work as the, result of
large importations of steel there
will be less- demand for various
products. They will no longer
have 'employment, and having
no work, will have no money.
If such bacomes the condition of
our people everything' will be
cheap on a par with all cheap
labor countries. And when we
have reached such'a state -foreign
countries will perhaps buy more
of us in quantity, but not value.
There will be no home market
and in consequence everything
we possess will be cheap. As our
industries become crippled - so
will the pocketboolcs of our wage
earners and the great common
people will u;p less of every
thing, even to the point of deny
ing their stomachs what Jthey
crave. Under these conditions
would it be remarkable if foreign
countries bought largely of us?

stomach was so weak and upset
that I could keep nothing on it

my throat and lungs were raw
