t Do Vocational Courses Pay? v This question is frequently asked in connection with the money spent for the vocational training of boys and girls, especially in the rural districts where agriculture is taught.

The state board of vocational

Of the 711 boys in Indiana who

or more of vocational training, in agriculture in high school, says the report, and who are at work, 76 per cent are engaged at farming, the

occupation for which they were trained. It continues: "In 22 agriculture schools all (100 per cent)

at work, are engaged at farming. This involves 102 boys in the 22 agriculture schools.

"These figures show that the Indiana vocational schools in agriculture are performing one of the functions they are intended to perform, namely, to give vocational training to future farm workers. "The training which these boys receive is

Water in excess is an intoxicant, according to Science Service. With the aid of an extract from one of the ductless glands and also w ithout such assistance in controlling thirst Dr. Leonard G. Rowntree of the Mayo Clinic has proved that excessive water drinking by either humans or animals may result in intoxication. "Water intoxication," he says, "is hard to produce, as nature has provided against the accumulation of water in the body , in poisonous amounts. Through thirst the intake of water is regulated to the body's needs. Unless the Intake is greatly in excess the output through the kidneys and the skin takes care of the surplus. .In order to control the thirst, , an extract from a small ductless gland at the base of the brain was used. Under the influence of this drug the patient kept drinking water until he developed marked headache, nausea, a staggering pait, unsteadiness of muscle and inability to stand or walk, which lasted for a few hours. The same process was tried with dogs with even more striking results.

TODAY'S TALK By-George Matthew Adams, Author of 'You Can," "Take It," -Up" ' LET'S GO Of all the phrases that have attained popularity, I like this best "Let's Go!" I would recommend it to the President of the United States, to the Senators and Congressmen at Washington, to the leaders in every land under the Sun, to business men everywhere, to those who are faint hearted and hesitant, to those who sleep too much on their jobs, to those who are everlastingly complaining about not getting a "fair deal" or having a chance. To those who refuse to work be the reason good or not. To those who have within their powerto starve or feed a nation but who merely wait, coming to no decision, I would say: Let's GO! Great reforms and lasting benefits are accomplished only through co-operation and mutual understanding where two great sides are concerned. The corner stone of a nation is the individual. No government can long last without confidence on his part. And no individual can thrive without confidence in himself, So that you see everything depends finally upon you and me. All right, then Let's Go! Imagine the effect, if you please, if throughout the world for but a single day this motto should be the slogan. Imagine just a little further and just suppose that It should become a permanent determination on the part of all striving men and women interested in the welfare of everyone else. Think of the impetus given to the salesman to the manufacturer, 'to the ruler, to the newspaper and magazine publisher,, to the writer of helpful fiction, to the one discouraged. Repeat it to yourself a few times Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go! What a loss to the world in stubborn and useless bickering. Why aren't men wise enough to talk over misunderstandings and disputes around a table using common sense as the first principle toward settlement? I can well imagine such a scene and a quick agreement, and the leader or chairman, on congratulating all concerned, exclaiming as the voice of all: "And now, gentlemen, Let's Go?" Why not? Why not? Cornel Let's GO!

But when I've served my little stretch, and find that I am free, I feel that any man's a wretch who doesn't whoop with me.

Spanish Swindlers Busy Again

Beware of Quaint Letters With Foreign Postmarks Received in the United States.

By FREDERICK J. HASKI5T WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 15. The Spanish swindle, which in the past has lured nobody knows how many dollars out of gullible America, is again being tried, this time presumably on a larger scale. This celebrated hoax is based on the human weakness for easy money and for adventure. Many people see no reason why adventure and great wealth should not wait arouruj the corner for them just as in the-B iovies and in magazine fiction. Occasional stories in the papers also tell of vast fortunes acquired in odd ways. So, when an honest American citizen receives a letter bearing a Spanish postmark and addressed to him In quaint, foreign handwriting, he is intrigued. If he knows no one in Spain, ha opens such a letter curiously, with all sorts of romantic possibilities buzzing through his brain. He read3 the communication, and his wildest spec lation regarding it become suddenly tame. He learns that he has been se lected to help noble Russian who faces bankruptcy and is in prison. He reads further, breathless, and learns that "a modest fortune" of $120,000 is prac tically within his grasp. The noble Russian has somewhere in America 360,000 good American dol lars, and he is generously willing t& reward the person addressed with onethird of them, If only he will help In the recovery of the money. The un fortunate Rusian's baggage has been seized and he needs a trifling sum to reclaim it and to pay the Registrar of the Court for the expenses of the trial. In the portmanteau of the Rus sian's baggage there is a secret pocket, he says, and in the secret pocket he has hidden two checks pyable to the bearer for that sum" that is, for the $260,000. The imprisoned man cannot receive letters in his Spanish prison, but he has a trusted friend. The American is requested to cable this friend, in Barcelona, who instruct him how to proceed. If the chosen benefactor does cable, he will be told to send tne small sum, compared to .120,000, necessary to recover the portmanteau. When he has cabled the money he find3 that the noble Russian and the tcusted friend have passed quietly out of his life. Postal Officials Active on Case. The Post Office. Department has begun lately to receive complaints regarding this new form of the old Spanish swindle. lit is fairly certain that the scheme is being widely work ed because the letter that is being sent out is muitigraphed. The ink is multi graph ink, and under a reading glass the writing shows that it is not ordin ary handwriting. Some downstrokes, for instance, are faint almost to indis may depend upon the person to be fleeced. The impersonaters of the no ble Russian can estimate closely from the replies of the American how much money may be asked for safely, and obtained. The Spanish Bwindle is a very old game, but it never seems to lose its alluring possibilities. It must be profitable. Otherwise it would not be at KERKER ASTHMA and HAY FEVER REMEDY IS GUARANTEED The famous Kerker Remedy, to which so many sufferers are turning to ob tain the results they have so long sought, is sold in Richmond bv Quigley & Son, Druggists.

How To Start the Day Wrong

tinctness in the middle of the strokes, the results of uueven printing. Spanish swindle letters go to people in all parts of the country. No special attempt is made to select millionaires or philanthropists, probably because the operators know that such persons would be slow to respond to this particular kind of bait. Judging from cases that gain publicity, it seems likely that the names of prospective victims tare picked out of directories at random. The swindlers no doubt figure that less wealthy persons lead more restricted lives and that that they will more eagerly take a chance on this bit of adventure. The thrill of being selected to correspond with an Imprisoned Russian nobleman, and to send cables relating to secret pockets and fortunes does not come often to the average American, at least he does not realize how often this particular thrill is offered to the public. Many farmers in outlying sections of the country receive the Spanish swindle letters. How many fall for the hoax no one, except the Spanish swindler knows. The sum asked for when the correspondence gets to the critical stage tempted now by presumably one or the same operators who worked it in 1913. That the same persons are still at it is indicated by sample letters. Same Swindle In 1913. The Post Office Department has a sample of the latest swindle letter, and it has letters of the 1913 series. The 1913 version contained the story of an imprisoned Russian hnnlrfr and his beautiful daughter whose fortune must be recovered. From that point the story progressed as in the latest letter, the climax being the hidden pocket in the portmanteau, where the papers necessary to the recovery or the fortune were concealed. The 1913 letters are written on the same kind of paper that is being used for the letters now. The sheets are large and printed in tiny blocks with blue Ink. The letters are in similar handwriting. That the 1913 Iptter Is thp hnsla nf the up-to-date bankrupt Russian letter or ia can be seen readily from the phrasing of the two types. The same expressions occur in both. Since the Spanish swindle sfartpd vpnrs a?n it has changed very little. This method of takinar monv nwnv from Americans is obviously a bvs tematic business.
