But why not add a practical touch by one gift of lasting joy the Maytag. Enjoy the Maytag's faster, cleaner gentler method of washing, its advanced method of wringing, its quiet, smooth per formance. Week after week, year : fter year, it will continue to bring good cheer. The Maytag won its position of world leadership, not only by originating new and advanced ideas of design and construction, but by creating perfection in every minute detail.

A train appeared in the dis- , tance. The boy suggested that they sit on the track in front of the ap- proaching train and see who dared to 8tay there the longest betore jumping out of the way. The girl agreed. It ended Just as you would sup pose. The girl, eager to prove her daring, stayed too long. She is now in :i hriKtiituI with :i broken enll:ir severe bruIseH. And sh ami the young man, possibly, feel that they have learned something. A college freshman is more or expected to he somewhat silly 'in l"c .uma,. lives up to this expectation adrnir ably. But a stunt like this at Ober- Hn, where a boy and girl out of her life, seems a bit more than we have any right to ask. I However, nothing in particular is to be gained by meditating that I young people are foolish. They are, always have been and always will be. This foolishness does not arise from any mental incapacity: it is simply the inevitable result of high BpirItB and excess energy confronting a world that ls UDknown testing it and trying to how far fortune ran be Dushed Very often this experimentation taxes ludicrous, even tragic, forms. But the spirit back of it, for all that. is never ludicrous. A girl who sits on a railroad track to see how long she dare wait before Jumping out of the way of a train may be risking her life and behaving like a simple ton; nevertheless, that same girr, actuated by the same sort of restless turiouauy auu u ol excrement, I I- - M A 1 1 j J on lu reaauus wny we Older I ones look on the world's future with nODe Suppose that you set out to re cruit a host of daring souls to join and wrong. Would you seek your recruits from the sensible, mature people? Never in the world! You would go to the youngsters to the foolish, crack-brained kids who get into trouble because they don't know- how to .dodge .the. world's pitfalls And they would follow you! The same eagerness and lack of balance that drives them to do laughable silly things would make them follow to any kind of death you directed if only you gave them a flag and a slogan. The battlefields of the world have been littered with their bodies since wars began. Youngsters do foolish things, as in this case at Oberlin. But the tragedy of the whole" thing is that they eventually get sensible, mature -and very, very cautious. too much' dieting The national fad of dieting to re duce weight is permanently injuring the health of girls, women, and men in the opinion of eminent medical authorities. How dangerously ser ious dieting has become may be judged from the following statement by a famous doctor. He says: "Many young women to whom motherhood ha9 been denied have come to me to learn the reason why. I have to tell them, only too often that they have sacrificed their children for the sake of a boyish figure." This doc tor goes on to show that many adults. both men and women, do injuries to themselves by starvation diets from which they can never recover. It is time to call a halt in this dan gerous practice. Whoever said that two persons could have the same standard of weight? Medical science now declared that standardization In the weight of human beings is im possible, as Well as undesirable.' Eat enough of a great variety of foods p.nd enjoy them. ' Remember that Bugar is the Ideal flavorer of other foods and that it adds greatly to the zest and pleasure of eating. Sugar is also a food the most In expensive and the purest known. Don't be afraid to sweeten grape fruit, cereals, dried fruits, and all canned vegetables. Delightful flavors demand sugar. :o: It has been asked why more Amer icans do not own hippopotamuses. It probably is because none of the installment Btores have thought about selling hippopotamuses at a dollar down and a ' dollar a week thereafter. -:o: The college boy who has ditched his funny clothes, pulled up his socks and donned a hat is the one who has made up his mind to start in with a job Instead of being the president of some corporation. 035 For best results use fr7 BAKING POWDER Same Price For Over 30 Years ounces MILLIONS OP POUNDS USED BY OUR GOVERNMENT WHY WE AB INTER ESTED IN NICARAGUA Some light on the Nicaraguan t , . . , . , question is furnished by the I'K - pie's Lobby of Washington which has unearthed a sneech made bv Diceo Chamorro. In December, 1922, Chammorro, then President of Nica ragua, in a message to the National Congress, enumerated some of the concessions "granted to foreign com panies chiefly American." These are some of the items he listed: Exclusive right of navigation on the Escondido River lying in fertile banana regions. Money was paid for the concession, but it never reached the treasury. Timber rights in an 8000 square mile zone on the northeast coast, with other privileges which placed that area under American exploita tion. In the region of Laguna de Perlas, the Atlantic Pruit Co. was ceded lands for the exploitation of the banana business. An American enterprise, the Min ing Exploitation Co., obtained from a Nicaraguan political mining rights in a large zone which included rich gold deposits of Prlnzapolca. Another American company was given mining concessions in Cape Gracias a Dioa, Matagalpa and Nueva Segovia, constituting one-third of Nicaragua's area. . . The Central American Commercial Co. bought for $100,000 valuable rights at Corinto, including construe tion of a dock and collection of port duties for 50 years. This con cession had been transferred to Gen eral Zelaya gratuitously and he re ceived the $100,000. An American company was grant ed exclusive right for the manufac ture of ice in the whole republic for 50 years. . This helps to make clearer the extraordinary interest which our State Department has evinced In the Central American republic. :o:- It is going to be interesting to see what will happen to the farm question in the special session of Congress which President-elect Hoo ver has promised to call. It is gen erally agreed that the McNary-Hau gen bill is dead. Mr. Hoover called it "state Socialism," and the agri cultural west, where the seat of dis content is supposed to be, voted for Hoover and against the man who came nearest to agreeing with the farmers. Mr. Hoover is free to do as he pleases with the agricultural question, subject of couise to the whims of Congress. He is even in position to laugh at farm radicals. :o JOE SALE 240 acres, four and a half miler from Murray, 240 acres, three miles from Manley, $20,000 improvements; 160 acres, three miles from Manley. $4,000 improvements; two eighty acre farms; one fifty acre farm; fif teen acres; two houses not modern; two modern houses.
