With impressive ceremonies the cornerstone for the new St. Andrew's school building, South Fifth street, was laid this morning. About 400 members of the St. Andrews' congregation were present to witness the event. Proceeding the laying of the cornerstone services were held in the church, adjoining the school building, which Is in the course of construction. The. Rev. J. C. Rager, of Napoleon, Ind., delivered an address upon St. Boniface, the apostle of Germany, at the church. Several selections were rendered by the male choir of the church. The Rev. Frank Roell, rector of the St. Andrew's church, delivered a short address at the school building in which he explained the reasons for constructing the building. In part, he said. "The Catholic build their own school buildings because of their love for the country. They wish to raise their children to love their country and to do this they must have a religion. Religion can only be adequately taught to children and consequently in the schools. Education should not be divorced from religion. Religion is the safeguard of the indi vidual and the country, for without re-! lligion we would be without morality. Religion is the basis of true happiness and contentment. "We build our school houses because we love our children and -intend to take care of them and lead them to virtue and happiness. It is best to start in the school so that the child may receive an education along religious lines as well as along all other lines." In the cornerstone were placed a copy of the Palladium, Indiana. Catholic, Columbian Record andthe Glaubenbotte, names of the clergy, the members of the parish, and a number of 'other papers and books. Among the visiting priests present i for the ceremony were the Revs. J. C. 'Rager, of Napoleon; E. J. Bauer and , J. Hammil, of Terre Haute ; and W. j'Duffey, of Indianapolis. Following the cornerstone laying, the annual "Volksfest," or picnic was iheld at Beallview park. More than 1,000 attended the picnic. It is expected ftnat this number , will be considerably Augmented late this afternoon by those "who were unable to visit the picnic igrounds during the morning and early lafternoon. Remarkable Luck. , In Gold Hill, Nev., in 1877, one of lne mining bosses Tole by name had trouble with some of the laborers in his mine. One nigbt three of them attacked him in a barroom. Two of them pinned him down, while a third stood over him with a revolver. The muzzle almost touched his stomach. Once, twice, thrice, a fourth and a fifth time the weapon snapped. Tole closed Ms eyes. Each moment be expected to his last. The disgusted ruffian threw his disappointing weapon on the floor with an oath and. joined by his aids, left the piace. Tole wiped the cold sweat from his brow, tnech" cally picked up the discarded weai went to the door and fired off every charge, remarking that it was just his luck. Odd Marriage Ceremony. Polynesia is probably the only place In the world where the marriage feast tases place without the presence of the bridegroom. For some nnexplatned rea,con the young man is "sent into the bush" when negotiations are opened with the family of his bride, and be remains there during the subsequent festivities. It is only when the guests have departed and the girl is left alone with his parents that messengers are dispatched for him. Needed Them All. .

MORE RECREATION BY ISAAC TOTTEN. For several years the large cities have been maintaining play grounds for the children. These playgrounds not only provide a means of healthful recreation, but they tend to draw the boys and girls away from harmful mischief and loafing places where the influence is not for good. Boys and girls, and boys especially, have a certain amount of pent up mischief that must be worked off, or played off, in someway, and if this mischieviousness can be played off under the guidance of older people who have made a study of child life, considerable good is done toward making for a more law abiding future citizenship. Last week the Saturday Evening Post contained an article regarding a school at Rochester, New York, that has revolutionized social conditions in that city. A citizen of that town by the name of ward invited some of his neighbors Into the school on evening to talk over the subject of utilizing the school building as a social center for the entire city. There were a few over three hundred people present at the first meeting, and they had music, recitations and dancing. "They found their neighbors were very pleasant people," says the writer of the article. "Soon the building would not hold all who came. It was amazing how hungrily the people took to the idea. They had not thought of the schoolhouse as their property." This school center idea is now being talked of all over the county. A conference was held at Madison, Wisconsin, last year for the purpose of promoting this idea. The purpose is not only to make the city schools social centers, but to make the rural schools social centers also. Let us quote again from the Saturday Evening Post article: "As soon as the people came together they saw the waste in the use of schools. They induced the Board of Education to appropriate five thousand dollars to keep them open fourteen hours a day instead of seven. They converted the kindergarten into a library and club room. They opened the gymnasium five nights a week for entertainments. Fathers and sons began to spend their evenings together on the rings, bars and tumbling mats. They had boxing and wrestling matches and basket-ball games. The women formed a gymnasium class. "Others borrowed a traveling library from the capital at Albany, subscribed for periodicals and bought a stereopticon and dining-room appointments, so that they might give lectures and dinners." Several stages have taken up the movement to push forward the social center idea throughout the rural districts; because they are needed as much, if not more, in the farming districts as they are in the cities. We have mentioned this subject several times before in the columns of the Palladium: but we believe that it is a subject that cannot be repeated too often in the face of the social conditions that prevail in many of the farm neighborhoods near Richmond. There Is to be a Rural Recreation Congress at Cleveland, Ohio, June 5 to 8. The Idea back of the movement is to provide healthful recreation and amusements for country and small town districts. A congress of this kind may seem visionary to the matter-of-fact mind at first glance, yet, it is true that the great objection to rural life is its isolation and monotony. Farm folks have, in many neighborhoods, a very aggravated case of stay-at-homeitis. They do not know many of their neighbors on adjoining farms. A neighbor may be sick for two weeks, and then die, and be buried before we know that he has even been sick. Those back of the rural recreation movement believe that through it the pull of the city on the young men and young women can be somewhat lessened and farm life made more attractive. Nine cases out of ten where the boys and girls leave the farm are due to the lack of social conditions. We nfay be advised to work, and dig, and grind to become successful men and women; and we may be told by the old foggies that "you've got to work hard and keep at it to win out; but what is the use of living at all If we cannot enjoy life a little as we go. It is claimed that the economic efficiency in rural districts may be inceased through the development of the rural play life. We heard a number of farmers north of the city talking of getting all of the

FOR FARM FOLKS families in their threshing ring together and holding a picnic at the Glen, and we at once expressed ourself to the effect that it was a move in the right direction. Why couldn't all of the threshing rings from every farm neighborhood around here get together at the Glen at least two or three times during the warm weather. When farmers get together they find out just what the people in Rochester, New York, found out, they have some very pleasant neighbors. Neighborhood outings should be encouraged where the old folks as well as the young folks can get together for a general good time. It rubs off the rough edges, and makes us go about our farm work more cheerfully because of the thought of the good time we had when together. And, if there is something of this nature to look forward to, life takes on a more cheery phase. When we come in from the field of an evening we do not feel half as tired as we would ordinarily if there is something in the social line in store for us that evening. Permit us to offer a suggestion to the Commercial Club of Richmond: You could do nothing that .would tend to improve the political, educational, and social status of the rural districts around Richmond than to aid in the social center movement. We do not wish to infer that Wayne county is backward, and that it has no spirit of progress; because it is a well known fact that there are no farmers anywhere that possess a higher degree of intelligence. But we do know and do say that there is much room for improvement in most of our rural districts along social lines. Why not call a meeting of farmers at once and select some one to represent the farmers of this country at the Rural Recreation Congress at Cleveland, Ohio, June 5 to the 8th. And when that representative returns have another meeting for his or her report. There cannot be too many meetings. We are surely as much alive here as they are in other states. "We have been treating men as work units," said Harrington Emerson "as creators of energy. We can buy energy cheaper, what we want is Intel- ! ligence and it should be rewarded." Getting together to discuss farm topics means more intelligent handling of our affairs so that we can get the work units from that which is not endowed with intelligence. Sporting Gossip Rebel' Oakes has been doing some fancy clouting of late and helping the Cardinals climb up among the chosen few. With pitching championship ball and hitting near the .300 mark it begins to look like a prosperous year for Rube Marquard. Cleburne is running away with the pennant in the South Central League, having won 25 of the first 32 games played this season. With a long series of games at home the Detroit Tigers figure that they have a real chance to go to the front after all. The Cincinnati Reds found tough picking against the Cubs and the Cardinals, while the Giants went right along winning their games. Pitcher O'Toole and Catcher Kelly make a strong battery for the Pirates and look to be worth all that Barney Dreyfuss paid for them. George Rohe, the former White Sox third baseman and hero of the world's series of 1906, has been released by the Mobile Southern League. The old Cub machine is still doing business at the old stand. Manager Chance has not been able to find youngsters that look as good to him as his veterans. Of that $25,000 option on the Anderson team held by President Com i sky of the White Sox, Carolina Association fans say that Bull Powell alone is worth more than that amount. It Is said that Ray Keating, the Lawrence pitcher and sensation of the New England League, will join the Highlanders next Fall. Keating was a star with the Hamilton Canadian League team last season. Roger Salmon is pitching great ball for the Wilmington team of the TriState League. Connie Mack still has a string on the collegian and he will very likely be back with the world's champions next season. They call Ralph Capron. of the Milwaukee team the Ty Cobb of the

RAILWAY PLANTS FOUR MILLION TREES

More than four and a half million trees have been planted by the Pennsylvania railroad in the past ten years. This fact is brought out in a report issued today, which shows on what extensive lines the Pennsylvania Railroad system has undertaken the conservation of the natural resources of the territory traversed by its lines. Last year alone, 515,703 trees were transferred from the company's nurs ery at Morrisville, Pa., to permanent places on railroad property. Indicative of the scope of the Pennsylvania railroad's forestry operations the largest ever undertaken by any corporation is the following table showing the planting done in the last ten years: Years. No. of Trees 1902 13,610 1903 43.364 1904 223,656 1905 597,165 1906 801.625 1907 448.226 1908 300,530 1909 1,054,010 1910 617.338 1911 515,703 Total 4,615,227 At the nursery the Pennsylvania has in operation 36 acres which are kept up to practically maximum production. In 1M1. 483,148 forest trees were shipped from the nursery for company use, while an additional 46,558 ornamental trees and shrubs were used by the various divisions. The present stock on hand at the nursery is 2,296, 833 ,of which 2,072,166 are forest trees, and 224,667 ornamental plants. The conservative logging operations of the railn 4 1 were continued in 1911, two new plots being undertaken. The total area involved is about 1,500 acres, from which it is expected to cut 750,000 feet of timber. Up to the end OLYMPIC TRYOUTS TO BE AT Crack American Athletes to Compete for Places on the U. S. Team. (National News Association) BOSTON, 'Mass., June 5. All arrangements are perfected for the Eastern tryouts for the selection of the American Olympic team. The trials will take place Saturday at the Harvard Stadium and will be participated in by nearly 200 athletes who are ambitious to become members of the American aggregation that is expected to grab off a plentitude of firsts, seconds and thirds in the great contests this summer in Stockholm. The competitors will represent the cream of the amateur athletic talent of the United States. The best of the college men and the pick of the club athletes will be included. In many of the contests it will be champion against champion. The sprint race, for instance, has among its entries three men who have records of 9 4-5 seconds for the 100 yards, while titleholders also will be seen in the quarter, half and mile races. GIssing, Sbeppard and Riley of the Irish-American A. A. of New York will try for the 800 meters. There is no queston that they will qualify for the team as they are recorded as the greatest half milers In the country. Sheppard especially Is considered the peer of any one in the world at that distance. He figures that the Stadium track will be the fastest in the world and he and Gissing are going to try to break the world's half-mile record Saturday. Other notable entries in the 8-meter race are Abel Kiviat of the Irish-American A. C, Eli B. Parsons, the old Yale half-miler, and Wylie Cook of the University of Virginia. Representatives of the New York Athletic Club in the tryouts will Include such noted performers as L. C. Carey, the old Annapolis sprinter and G. E. Hinds, formerly of the University of Pennsylvania, in the sprints; R. T. Edwards, and E. C McArthnr, formerly of Cornell, in the 4-meter run; Eddie Frick in the 800-meter event.

Thccc uuii-rr THE STtps. OF HOU&e COMPLETE OP EVIDENCE I. of last year the area which had been conservatively lumbered was 1,850 acres. The railroad states that in all of the fourteen different tracts that have been under conservative management the fundamental object has been to improve the forest conditions on the properties and leave them in a productive state. The rejuvenation of this otherwise worthless forest land, the company says, will add not only to the ultimate forest wealth of the state, but will improve the conditions as regards stream flow and runn-off. An important feature of the railroad's logging work last year was the close utilization and development of markets for by-products. It was not possible to find a market for small wood, so this kind of material was converted into charcoal; the total amount of charcoal which has been produced up to date is 215,000 bushels. In addition to growing ornamental shrubbery and trees for its future requirements of ties and lumber, the Pennsylvania railroad established two tie and timber treating plants, one at ML Union and the other at Greenwich Point, Philadelphia. These plants were in full operation in 1911 and there were treated 869,000 cross-ties, 13.000,000 feet of lumber and timber, and miscellaneous products equivalent to about 2,500.000 board feet. Reducing this to a cross-tie basis gives the company an equivalent of about one and one-quarter million cross-ties treated in 1911. The total amount of creosote used in these operations was 4,492,000 gallons. It Is believed by the management that the conservative logging and the forest planting which the company is conducting on its woodlots and farm lands will serve as object lessons for farmers, and provide an incentive to intelligent forest development on the part of the public generally. lin throw, Ben Adams and Ray C.

In the early days of the last century, when illuminating gas was first osed la London, tl morons people talked" of the dangers of suffocation and of explosions to which the gas, which was still Imperfectly purified, exposed the citizens. Scientists confirmed these assertions, and the first gasometer erected in London by Samuel Clegs; so terrified the people that no workman would venture to light the gas jets which had been placed on Westminster bridge. Bat Clegs soon overcame this difficulty by lighting a torch and applying It to the burners with bis own hands. On another occasion before a committee of the Boyal society of London be bored a bole in the gas bolder and put a lighted candle to It. to the great alarm of the spectators, but without causing the slighest accident.
