The county school of agriculturo will not necessarily make farmers out of all Its students, but It will at least correct any false notions they may have of the farm and' will suggest to them Its Infinite possibilities. It will correct, too, any false notions they may have of the city life and will teach them to expect to win through work Instead of wit. There is at least Mine grounds for the suspicion that our schools themselves have Indirectly created the dissatisfaction with the farm. At any rate, the discontent Is general, arfU such a condition is surely abnormal and needs to be corrected. The rural home environment must be exalted and glorified. There Is the question of health which must be thought of. The pure,, out-door life In the country will surelyoffset many of the advantages of the town. There is the cost of living that cuts bo large a figure in one's existence,' There is the clean soil of the country -against the dirt of the city. There Is the freedom, of action that comes only to the. farm life. Then there Js a certain silent Influence that comes -from the communion with nature that makes men better. Then, too, the chances of failure and success must be weighed; Indeed, the question of what constitute success in life should be considered. The study that ,wlll correct false ' notions of town . and country life is the most practical agricultural work.' The county school of agriculture must be thought of in relation to the community, and not In relation to the college. The communi-
Some Cheerful News For Mr. Ultimate Consumer
Butcher, Baker and Candlestick Maker Intend to Reduce Prices, at Least So Say the Republican Political Sages.
" ' f American News Service). (Jonathan Winfleld) - Washington, April 23. Cheer up ultimate consumers. The butcher, tha baker and the candlestickmaker, who furnish the necessaries of life Intend Jo. reduce prices. . At least this is the' cheering prophecy of the republican political sages .who are figuring on a retention of the tml nf fhA House of RenresentaV v vm m tlves of the 62nd congress. Briefly, this is the way the situation is being figured. The ultimate consumers, who -even in the days of Rome's supremacy and before the first Infant trust became a reality were referred to as the "populace" is fretful. even peevish, owing to. the way the food and necessities of life trusts have run up prices for , shelter, food and clothing. The republican party at the helm through tariff legislation, is responsible, politicians say. Congress, especially the senate end, under the leadership of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, has been - publicly inHairing Into the tricky ways of the food "barons." About all congress can do Is to limit the time food products shall be kept in cold storage. The food barons,' so the story runs, are not at all anxious for a change in the political supremacy in the house. Therefore in September, or perhaps lu August, there is to be a general drop in the cost of food. Until the congressional elections in November the salary of the working man will stretch farther in the direction of the pur chase of food. , After election well, that may be another story. The republican congressional member who was figuring out the sltuatior said: "A Democratic house would be r socialist house, so far as the moneyed interests are concerned. Therefore the moneyed interests behind the food trusts will see the wisdom of letting up on the squeeze when the election iron for the good effect it will have or .the country at large in making friend;for the republican congressional can dldates." - A Taft Incident.

W. S. Hlser, Supervisor of Manual Training, City Schools, Richmond, Ind. '" ty, and not the higher school, must determine Its mission. Its course of study, its mode of procedure, its text books, must be all determined from below instead of from above. The need and place of a county agricultural school, domestic science and manual training and the simple, comprehensive plan permitting their establishment have been set forth in the January Journal. Few, of the readers of the Journal know what a county school of agriculture Is. The character of one of these schools and the big gap they fill in our educational system is here shown by the course of study of the Dunn County (Wisconsin) School of Agriculture. The course covers two years. The school year runs from October to June. It is divided Into two semesters, and each semester into two quarters. Observe that the high school subjects of study chemistry, botany, physics, mathematics, drawing, art etc. are learned through concrete use in the county school of agriculture. Fur party for early in May It Is said. She has been thinking and planning all winter for the event. The date she set, however, not other being advisable, owing to engagements, brought the garden party into conflict with the Middle West trip of the president. President Taft, .in discussing the political hubbub raised by his announcement that he would not tarry. In Indiana, said that his wife was in anything but good health; that his attending her party would please her greatly and that pleasing his wife was always his first consideration. Accordingly h has changed his program so that when he leaves here on April 30 he will spend one day in Buffalo and one day each in Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis, returning from the latter city direct. A Four-sided Affair. .Lee McClung, treasurer of the United States has started the machinery of the government with the hope of bringing about a speedy settlement with the states of ' Tennessee, North , Carolina and Louisiana of the financial differences that have existed between the three states and the federal government for many years. The trouble dates back to before the civil war, when the .federal government invested Indian, trust funds in state bonds. In all, seven states received part of these funds, giving state bonds as security. Four of them, Virginia, Arkansas, South Carolina and Florida have long ago settled their score. . , . Treasurer McClung finds that the endless task of keeping books on these claims is a useless labor and congreess is to be petitioned to compel the states

kit to twijw.mUrt IAL, A Test That Proved tt Was Possible to ; t Kill a Spaniard. Barry in the sixteenth century the natives of Porto Rico plotted to kill the Spaniards on the 1st and. There was much deabt. however, as- to whether or not it was possible to kill a Spaniard. Many of the natives insisted that it was not. Finally it was decided to make an experiment. A young Spaniard who was passing through an Indian village was hospitably received and fed. and then a number of natives accompanied him on his Journey, when he arrived at a river his companions offered to carry him across. The young man accepted and was taken op by two men and carried into the water on their shoulders. Arriving near the middle of the river, they threw him in and held him down until he ceased to straggled " Then they carried him ashore with profuse apologies, loudly proclaiming that they stumbled by accident and calling upon him to arise and continue his Journey. Bat the young man did not move, and finally the natives were convinced that he was actually dead. Having secured the proof they wanted, the leaders of the rebellion at once began a general" attack upon tha Spaniards. Blackwood's Magazine.
