Richmond baa done pretty well in the matter of education. Some hard word have been said against the tendency of the things taught in the schools. Some people do not like the new High School building. . But anyone who goes through the new 'plant for the education of young Richmond will be willing to put up against any thing In the United States from a practical standpoint. By this is meant the domestic science and the manuel training shop. Here Is what Jane Robbins an authority on Instruction and practical social conditions says: "What can she do? Ask the average grammar or high school graduate what occupation she wishes 'to take up and she will answer stenography of school-teaching, and In many cases she has no special aptitude for either. But she has bad no practical training for anything e Ise. She ia as helpless as a baby when she comes in contact with the live responsibilities of the world. "These girls hold the future in their untrained fingers. It is the mothers of our children whom we are keeping in ignorance of the great study of home-making. "What we need to remember is that it is quite as important to have brains in one's fingers as to have brains In one's head. The girl who can't do the higher mathematics, but knows e nough to put the butter on the ice, so that it won't melt, is quite as valuable a person as the mathematical prodigy who would be apt to forget all about the butter." But to be successful, everything of this sort must be followed up in the houses where the children live. Else the town will not get the benefit of itand neither will the children.

Meat The word goes out throughout

duced. A good many ultimate consumers suffer a rude shock when they go to buy meat in the face of this statement. A few of them who have been scouting around, the town in search for low prices if any meat prices can be called low have found that the men in the small-shops in the out of the way places are the ones who have the best cuts at reasonable prices. i There are exceptions of course. But like everything else when people become annoyed at the price they either' stop buying or look for the reasonable prices. That seems to be the only recourse of the ultimate consumer.

The Census

There are a lot of people in Wayne County wondering about the census. And there are still more people in Richmond wondering about the same thing. Wayne county has the advantage of Richmond because it beard the news first. Richmond can not yet say whether It is responsible for the growth of 4,700 or not So it Is all a guess. What went on over the state is more or less unsettled, too, the state only gained 7.3 per cent. It is only when the figures come in for the increase in other states all over the country that anyone will know where the things stand. Was it a gain or a loss is Indiana falling behind or not? " It Is certain that the purely agricultural counties have lost and the manufacturing and distributing counties have gained. , Wayne Is among the counties which have gained. . As the agricultural counties have lost, the case of Richmond and Wayne county is going to be interesting when it comes in. We are going to look at a cross section of a representative part of the state and find the tendencies which are pulling from the country and to the city. It may be that Richmond has gained and the country districts of the county have lost. If this is the case it Is not a thing to alarm any one at all as far as the material prosperity is concerned. Iowa Is growing more prosperous every day. And the prosperity Is . responsible for the loss in the country districts. Men have so much money . that they are buying other people's farms. The improvement in farm machinery makes extensive farming easy. Naturally the people are going somewhere. , Every one knows that the cities are growing. Every one knows that the new states are growing. Canada is growing. Where are the people going? When Richmond's figures come in that will help to tell the story of the movement of the people.

HE SHARES LEGACY FIRSTWIFE LEFT Wayne County Man Prevents Any Litigation. (Palladium Special) Connersville, Ind., Nov. 19. Wilson W. Hunt, giving bis residence as Wayne county, and Margaret Wilson of Cincinnati, were granted a marriage license yesterday arternoon by County Clerk Sparks, i . Mr. Hunt It will be remembered 1 was married a little over a year ago to Anna M. Kessler of this county, and the woman died within a day or two after the marriage. i Mrs. Hunt bad made a will previous to her marriage to Mr. Hunt In which she left about $4,000 to a sanitarium association In Washington, D. C. which was .under the supervision of the Advent! st church. The sanitarium association, it is understood ' contemplated bringing suit to collect the money, but it was discovered that according to law the will waa invalidated by the woman's marriage and the husband was entitled to the money. However, it is said that Mr. Hunt recognised the wishes of his wife and he is understood to have given half of the money to the association. Mr. Hunt is said to have been married several times.

the land that meat prices

are reNOT LIKE MAY. U. D. THOMAS, M. D. Beneath a sky serene, A carpeting green Covers the hill-slopes, stretching far away; The robin's song I bear In orchards blooming near, But still it does not seem to me like May. A sort of drowsy sense A dreamy somnolence Steals o'er my bouI, like twilight after ' day; The fragrance of young flowers So narcotize the hours. They pass unconscious of the charms of May. I muse and wonder why, , When earth, and air, and sky, 1 With verdure, balm and brightness, are so gay; When merry song and shout Chase eager echoes out. It yet should seem, to me, no more like May. . - y . It Is not that I pine , For love to answer mine; My heart responds to Love's melodious lay. And tender lips now press My brow in fond caress. With love words, sweeter than the songs of May. The Topeka (Ka ) Journal, making an excursion into pedagogy, says that Its "idea of nothing to listen to," is a man school teacher telling a company of women teachers how to teach. The woman teacher, says the Journal, "knows more about the art instinctively than the he teacher will ever be able to learn." IN HISTORY'

Three men who were successful at the polls at the last election and whose lives have a tinge of the romantic. They are Victor L. Berger, (on the left), the Socialist leader of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Caleb Powers, (below), the pardoned convict of Ken tucky and Ben W. Hooper. Con the right), the Independent of Tennessee.

Mr. Berger has long been admired for his work in Milwaukee. He repre-'in

sents high ideals and practical methods. He goes to congress as the first. Socialist in that body. Caleb x-uweios umuiuon conceived wnue ne lay in Jail convicted of the charge of murdering Governor William Goebel, of Kentucky, was realized when he was chosen to congress in the Elevents Congressional District of Kentucky, by a Republican majority of between 7,000 and 8,000. He was in jail for eight years and his case had been before all the courts in , the country. He was found . guilty four times and once the jury disagreed. He was finally pardoned by Governor Wilson. . . Governor-elect Hooper, of Tennessee bad a boyhood of great hardship. He was early left an orphan, and had to struggle as best he could to get an education. Forty years ago, when he was a waif on the streets of Knoxville, he had one day attracted the attention of Capjt. Cooper, of Newport, Tenn. He was given an opportunity to prove his worth, and before he was twenty-one years old he was graduated with honors, from law school. He has been successful at the bar and for two terms served his home county in the State Legislature. FALL FESTIVAL FUND James A. Carr ... ,..$50.00 ... 20.00 ... 3.00 ... 5.00 Herbert Green ...

Beavers Are Adept at Gathering Winter's Food

New Tork, Nov: 19.A man who watched a colony of beavers get In their winter harvest tells in Recreation just how they did it. It waa the Spruce Tree colony, one of 16 beaver municipalities on the slope of Longs peak in the Colorado Rockies. Aspen bark Is the favorite food of; tbe North American beaver, with wil- i low, cottonwood. alder and birch as lesser favorites. This was an old ? beaver settlement and they had about cleaned up all the nearby growths of aspen. The investigator e:f. mined other aspen supplies in me neignDornooa, aiso the beavers lines of transportation, runaways, canals and ponds, and decided that this year's harvest would be brought from a grove about a quarter of a mile from the main bouse and

about one hundred and twenty feet supplies was started. I waded out Inabove it. to the water, prodded around with a "In this KTove." be says.V'I cut three ! pole and found several small los.

notches in the trunks of several trees. Then I explored the colony grounds which occupied several acres in a terraced steep slope of a mountain mor aine. Here they had several ponds with dams and falls. The entire place was pierced with passageways and tunnels. The water from all the terraces was gathered in a pond at the bottom measuring 600 feet .in clrcumfrence. Its dam was six feet, 400 feet long and very crooked. In its upper edge stood the main house which was eight feet high and 40 feet in circumference. Stump Six Inches Across. "Forty-eight hours after I had notched the trees I returned to investigate Harvest had begun. One of the largest of the notched trees had been felled and removed. .The gnawed stump was six inches in diameter. The limbs had been trimmed off and a number of these lay scattered around the stump. The eighteen-foot trunk had been cut into lengths of from three to six feet, then these little logs were started toward the harvest pile. : , "From the spot where cut the logs were evidently rolled down a steep. grassy 70-foot slope, at the bottom of tht draercod in Mini Hlotana nvar a level stretrh amnna-.nnm inde-onnla j pines and then pushed s or dragged : along a narrow runawav that had been cut through a rank growth of willows Once through the willows they were pushed into the uppermost pond. "Across this they were taken, forced over the dam on the opposite side and shot down a slide into the pond which contained the smaller house. It was good work to have got them so quickly to this place. But no logs could be found by the house or in tbe pond. The folk of this place had not yet laid up anything for winter.'

heaved Into a long, wet side, which landed them In a small, shallow harbor in the grass. From this point a canal about 80 feet long ran around the brow of the terrace and ended over the top of a long slide. which reached to the big pond, . ''This canal was new and probably had been dug especially for this barvest. : For 60 feet of its length it was quite regular in form; and ; had an average width of 30 Inches and a depth of 14. The mud dug in making it was piled evenly along tbe ' lower

aide. Altogether It looked more like the work of a careful man with a shovel than of beaver without tools. "Seepage and overflow water from the ponds above filled and flowed

slowly through it and out at the farthi er end where it swept down the long slide into the big pond. Through this canal the logs had been taken one by one. At the farther end I found the largest log. - It probably had been too ! hMirv in hraTa nnr nf (hn rinil' i trackg ,n the mud Indlcated that tBere I was a hard tussle before it was abandM . : Found a Notched Log. "Close to the big bouse a few aspen leaves fluttered on twigs in the water. Evidently some large pieces of aspen (Were sunk beneath the pile of winter Dragging one of these to the surface, I found there were three notches on it. "Scores of aspens were found In the grove where the notched ones were. They were trimmed, cut Into sections ; ana limns, logs ana ail taken over the ' route of the one I had followed, and j at last placed in a pile beside the big house. This harvest gathering went on for a month. The average diameter of the aspens cut was tour and onehalf Inches at the top of the stump. Numerous seedings of an inch diameter were cut, and the largest tree felled for this harvest measured 14 Inches across the stump. "This had been laid low only a few hours before I found It. and a bushel of white chips and cuttings encircled the lifeless stamp like a wreath. In falling the top bad become entangled in an alder thicket and lodged six feet from the ground. It remained In this position for several days and was apparently abandoned; but the last time I .went to see It the alders , which upheld it .were being ; cut away. Ala,.-' 1 J Vlt Aft, tuougu luu aiuera were uuc. upon iuo ground only those which, bad upheld the aspen bad been cut, It may be that the beavers which felled them looked and thought before they went , ahead with the cutting. "Why bad this and several other large aspens been left uncut In a place where all were convenient for barvest? All other neighboring aspens were cut year's ago. One explanation is that 1 the beaver realised that tbe tops of the aspens were entangled and interlocked in tbe .limbs of crowding spruces and would not tall If cut oft at the bottom. This and one other were the only ones that were felled; the tops of these had.' been recently released ' by the overturning of some spruces - and tbe breaking of several branches on others. . Other scattered large aspens were left uncut,' but all nearby spruces.' TOOK WRONG DOSE ; 2 PATIENTS DEAD Wilmington, Del., Nov. 19.
