WELL EDUCATED CLASS.
Farmers Have This Distinction Says Farm Editor.
Mr. I. D. Graham, editor of the Kansas Farmer, published at Topeka, spoke to the sophomore class in journalism on "Farm Journalism" last Wednesday morning.
"Farm journalism is just now in process of being developed," said Mr. Graham. "Farmers with their families form the largest single class in the country. They are members of one of the richest classes. They have time for reading, hence they are one of the best informed classes. This time devoted to reading, together with contemplative habits of thought, have given the farmer a liberal education. I believe the farmers are better posted on all great questions than any other class.
"The farm paper is the farmer's technical laboratory.. It is the greatest trade journal in the world and the most influential because of the confidence which the farmer puts in the agricultural journal which he takes.
"The county paper published in a farming community, though it can not hope to contain as valuable material on farming subjects as the professional journal, should devote some space to carefully written articles on farm subjects. Such a department is always an element of strength to a country paper."

RELY ON ENDOWMENTS.
It appears from a recent report of the treasurer of Amherst College that during the past year the college has spent $3.15 for every dollar received from its students From the report of the Williston seminary treasurer it appears that the school has spent $2.85 for every dollar received. The same thing is undoubtedly true of Harvard and Yale, and all other representative colleges, and also of Andover and Exeter, and many other preparatory schools. Were it not for the income received from their large endowments, all these schools would be compelled to increase tuition charges threefold, or to close their doors, says the Springfield Republican.
Eastern Schools Otherwise Would Have to Close Doors.

American Scenic Attraction.
Omaha, Neb. May 21.—Displaying itself with all its scenic glories multiplied a hundred-fold, the Columbia river, which winds down through, in and out and around the Rocky, Solkirk and Bitter Root Mountain chains and empties into the Pacific, is today on a howling, yet harmless rampage.
The seemingly ferocious waters of the Columbia are described by travelers, just erurignniveq rw travelers, just returning to this city from the northwest, as today the finest scenic feature of the entire "gallery of America's prize scenery," as the wonderlands of that part of the northwest are known. Yet the rampage of the Columbia only enhances the beauties of the scenic attractions, for the river's ravings are harmless, the rock banks all along its course giving protection to residents. Thus the Columbia river's course is made the greatest of western attractions for travelers this summer, as the rampages of the Columbia invariably continue for great lengths of time.
With the receipt of the news from the northwest, the issuance of the book "The Columbia River," by E. L. Lomax, G. P. A., Union Pacific R. R., is especially timely, as it gives the entire history of the notable river to the present year, along with photographs. Copies of the book will be sent free upon application to E. L. Lomax, G. P. A., Union Pacific Railroad, Omaha, Neb. (Adv.)
