SUMMER WATER DANGERS.
After all prmautlons have been
taken, after children hate been In
structed and warned about dangers In
aquatic sport, after the police, school
and other officials have done their
best, we must still expect many deaths
from drowning this coming summer.
Nowhere is preparedness a greater
asset against serious accident than In
boating, canoeing and swimming. The
efforts made by the police, (be schools
and others to teach the simple meas
ures of common sense necessary
afford the best protection against dis
aster. Yet there is another element
which should be Impressed upon the
trained canoeist and the expert swim
mers. These should be taught not to
place too treat reliance Id their skill.

Usually it is the experienced swim
mer who drowns, and he drowns be
cause of carelessness and too great
confidence.
All that has been said here is
known to everybody. Vet the record
of each season shows these things
were not said often enough or impres
sively enough to prevent deaths.
Thoughtfulncss, presence of mind and
wisdom enough to avoid taking un
necessary chances are the subjects of
the beBt lessons those who frequent
the water In the summer can learn.

The ecclesiastical body that Is go
ing to eliminate "With all my goods
I thee endow" from the marriage
ritual Is on the right track. It is
fooling the bride unnecessarily and
she ought to know In advance that
she will have to rifle pockets and
search hatbands, socks and coatsleeves
at night If she lands any coin. Hous

It also sounds ridiculous to bear a
gink stand up and endow some sweet,
trusting girl with all his "earthly pos
sessions," when he could not pay a
week's board for the twain In ad

In a signed statement favoring Inter
vention In Mexico by the United
States. The governor says the time
has come for the United States to step
In and establish a stable form or gov
ernment In that storm-tossed coun
try. That may be true enough, but
any form of government that we may
establish there, to remain stable, will
have to be securely nailed down wheu
we turn It over to the Mexicans.

cially while he Is getting acquainted,

equipment of light horses and the
gift by Mr. Sellman fills a long felt
need. Mr. Sellman, in addiUon to be
ing an extensive breeder of Aberdeen
Angus cattle, is one of the biggest
Morgan horse breeders in the world.
The stallion at the bead of his stud,
which is the sire of the stallion pre
sented to the College, is the famous
Head Light (Morgan, 4863 A. M. R.,

other famous stallion of the breed
