NE W HAVEN. Conn.. May 13. -"To a bright young man who has anything in him, a college course Is not necessarily fatal to success. That Is my view of it." says Speaker Cannon In a discussion In the Yale News today of the value of a college education. lie continues: "The common school and the high school give the average individual at leal fair equipment for practical success in busi ness or In the various callings that men follow who live by ihe sweat of their fares. That is about all 'that the average man Hl.l utilize. ''There Is always a question as to whether' the average student will survive the spoil ing effects of a college course. "The human aoimal, on the average, is not worth his salt If he is incapable of making his own way. ' The greatest rewards come in business, not in politics. A good business man Is much better off than a poor politician. Th. business man has better chance for ad vancement - and receives great remunera tion."

RIVER IS REFUGE FROM FIRE Small Stream Keeps People from Burning in Northern Forests. VICTIMS IN WATER ALL NIGHT Conflancratlon Still Ksgei Fiercely In Wood of Minnesota and Win. consln Children nadly ' nursed. ST. PAUU May. 13. Settled in the vicin ity of Jraiid Marais, who have lost their homos and everything else,, except the clotjies on their backs, began arriving In that village today, according to reports by wireless telegraph. ... a One group arrived early today after they had sptnt the night lying in the bed of a small river and part of the time were com pelled to submerse themselves to keep tha flames from burning the clothes from their bodies. In this party were five children who were so badly burned that they are being cared for in a hospital In Grand Marais. At Gooseberry river and along Beaver Hanks, the flames are eating their way through the woods. From Park Bay to Tofte and as far back as the eye can see, timber Is on fire. From Good Harbor to Grand Marais fires burned at intervals. Reports reaceived early In the day from northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and Michigan indicated that the fires were not burning as fiercely as yesterday, but later reports said that the wind ap peared to he rising and this Indicated that perhaps tlie fires might be fanned into activity again. It is estimated" that the' loss on' cut tim ber in the district between Tofte and Good Harbor will be about tM.U00. A hpe'lal from Calumet, Mich., says that Willis Seaman, an Instructor In the' Michi gan College of Mines, and Rted Burnharn, while out flshint? in a canoe were hemmed In by fire and, atteniping to break through, their shoes were burned from their feet. Both also lost a portion of their clothing. Weather Balloon Lands in Iowa Bac Sent TTn hv Virginia fiffiniol. j o r j - o w.vta ound in iree JMear bhenandoah by Farmer. SIIKNAXUOAH, la..

Differences In the market offerings this week are differences in quality and quan tity rather than In prices, for with the advent of more home grown stuff the sup ply Is becoming more bountiful. Chickens also are more plentiful and slightly lower In price. A noticeable change in quality Is In the turnips, which have been small and pithy, but now are good at E cents a bunch.

Strawberries are more plentiful, but It is still considered early to begin preserv ing as the 15 cents a quart or even two for '.'.o cents will probably be lowered a little later in the season; some say next week, and others name the first of June as the season when aurply and price will favor the housewife.

Butter is slightly lower, country. -6c, 2(io and 30o; and creamery, 3:ic. This is the season when sandwich pos sibilities acquire a special interest and pimento clietse. which sells at 10 cents a cake or 15 cents a Jar, is a novrlty in this line. The Waukesha cheese and Neuf chatel cheese are also good for this pur pose. I'lioonInK I'oultry. It is most Important that poultry should be fresh, and this condition can be Judged by the fresh, sweet smell and also by the absence of moisture from the outside skin. The prlmenes.' of the flesh can generally u.e told by the plumpness of the flesh, which shows its elasticity when it Is pressed. Many poultry dealers have a tiick of breaking the breast bone in su.;h a way that the appearance of the breast is greatly Improved. Allowance must be made for birds thus treated; in fact, the best plan Is to Judge the condition by the thin flap which lbs beyond the breast bone and under the tall, tiie part which In a gouse goes by the name of "apnn." If this has a thin trans parent appearance the bird Is In poor condl" tion, but If It Is thick, firm and fat, the bird is at Its best. The sue of the birds can be told pretty accurately by tha condition of the breast bone, which is continued toward the tall In a piece of gristle. When the bird Is young tl.e gristle is soft. but as the bird grows older the gristle be come harder until in an old bird it is al most as hard as bone. Increasing age produces similar change in the claua and the beuk or bill, so that these should al ways be pressed ti see if they bend easily. The flehh nf young poultry is of a pink ish color and the transparent texture, blue nees and opaqueness mark the old bird, and this sign Is most apparent In the thighs and thickest parts if the legs, which should, therefore, always he closely ob set ved.
