FARMERS URGED TO STUDY AT PURDUE Winter Course at University Will Bring Added Returns from Farms.

Wayne county farmers will be interested in the announcement of Purdue university that its winter courses in agriculture will open January 20 and continue to March 14. The courses of study comprise work in general agriculture, animal husbandry, dairy husbandry, and home economics and agriculture. The tuition is free to residents of Indiana. In the forword of the announcement, the faculty says: "Farming offers excellent opportunities for young men and women who wish to fit themselves for the complex business of successfully operating and managing a farm. No other industry, business or profession requires as wide a range of knowledge as Agriculture. The unskilled, uninformed farmer is bound to be crowded out by more efficient farmers in the future. Increasing land values, decreasing soil fertility, high cost of labor and production, and the competition for markets all make thorough training, skilled management and sale'smanship necessary qualifications for the successful farmer. The problem of making the farm pay is not a simple one. Soil fertility must be improved and maintained; improved live stock in greater numbers must be kept on farms; crop yields must be increased; insect pests and plant and animal diseases must be controlled. The country must be made a better place in which to live by means of better homes, better roads and better educational and social advantages. "The successful farmer must understand the principles of agriculture as well as the best practice. He must be able to understand and apply methods of permanent soil improvement; selection, improvement, production, harvesting and marketing of all kinds of crops; selection, improvement, management and sanitary care of live stock and poultry; production of clean, wholesome milk and butter; planting and care of orchards, small fruits and garden crops. Instruction. "The instructional corps consists of men chosen from the best institutions In the country for their knowledge and ability to teach scientific agriculture In a thorough, practical way. "The instruction consists of lectures and laboratory exercises conducted by men and women who know the scientific as well as practical agricultural and household problems. The winter course students deal with the practical every-day problems of the farm in the classroom and laboratory, study soils, the movement of water and air in soils, judge grains, handle and judge live stock, practice grafting, budding, and prunning, judge fruit and vegetables, make up mixtures for spraying, test seeds for purity and germination, adjust and operate farm machinery, separate and test milk, make- butter and ice cream, operate creameries, and thus get practical knowledge of these various materials and operations. f "Four distinct plans of study are offered, viz.. General agriculture, animal husbandry, home economics and agriculture. These courses of eight weeks are purposely given during the winter months at a time when young men and women can be spared from the farm. Students are advised to take the course in general agriculture the first year and return and take one of the other courses, which are more highly specialized the second year. Is your husband cross?

It Was Highly Prixsd as a Wonderful Money Savor. When Miss Ann Pickett dropped In on her neighbor, Mrs. Spicer, and found her moping over the fragments of a gilt vase Miss Ann sympathized generously. "It must have been rather a costly vase," she said, looking admiringly at the pieces. "No. it only cost six bits," Mrs. Spicer acknowledged. '"Taln't that I feel so bad about." "Maybe it was a gift that you prized because of associations?" Mrs. Spicer shook her head. "Jim and I bought it over in Tompkinsville a long time ago. I prized it because It was such a saving to the family. The first year we had It I kept it on the front shelf for a general ornament Then when Jim's birthday came and I hadn't anything else handy to give I gave him the vase for his own. Next Christmas, instead of paying oat good money to buy something new, he gave It back to me for a Christmas present. Then I gave It to Jim junior on his birthday, and he gave it to Sue Belle on hers. "The next spring all the kinfolks got tip a birthday party for old Aunt Sallie Spicer, and we took her the vase. After she'd kep' It a good bit she gave It to Jim's sister Jane for a weddln' present, and afterward Jane gave It to me and Jim when we had onr china weddin. I was countln on glvuV It to Jim again on his next birthday, and now here It is smashed to flinders. "I tell you. Miss Ann, it most maker toe cry to think of losing such a useful family article so sear Jim's birthday too!" Youth's Companion. NOTICE Positively no hunting or trespassing allowed on the R. G.

M. RUMELY WILL BUILD WAREHOUSE Evidence that the M. Rumely company will make the Gaar-Scott plant one of the large shops of the concern is manifested by the fact that the company will build a large warehouse south of the office building. The warehouse, it Is understood, will be built to overcome the inadequate storage quarters of the plant, which this season had to use the streets near the shops for storing machines before shipment. The proposed new building, it was learned, will be 120 feet wide and 150 feet long, and will be either two or four stories high. Whether the company will build before spring is not known. Officials of the plant would not state what the plans of the company are. It was reported that the manufacture of gas engines would be removed to Grand Rapids where the other engines of this kind are manufactured. The reason assigned for this change is that this kind of engines can be made at a smaller cost to the company in its Grand Rapids branch. Local officials would not discuss this report. GOVERNMENT PROFITS. Undo Sam Has a Good Income From a Few Side Lines. Customs receipts and internal revenue taxation furnish the bulk of the government's income, but the government profits by a snug sum from the Bources that grow out of sovereignty, usually on the "penny saved, penny earned" principle. For instance, about $3,000,000 of small change is absorbed in the channels of trade each year. During periods of great prosperity this amount has been as high as $5,000,000. Buying for 50 cents a pound blanks that will make ninety nickel five cent pieces is profitable business. The gain is hardly less in one cent pieces. The silver in the quarter dollar would not now cost more than 10 cents, although it was somewhat higher when the stock now being minted was purchased. The treasury is the gainer from the destruction of paper money not redeemed. It also derives an income from patents in the form of fees that patentees pay for the privilege of monopolizing their inventions and thus In a slight degree shares their profits. Other returns of this sort might be enumerated, but the receipts growing out of sovereignty are limited In scope and are, after all, merely Indirect forms of taxation. Harper's Weekly. Just Like Homo. The two little girls, six years old or so, were playing housekeeping all along the garden wall, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. On some principle that no grownup could realize one section of it was the kitchen, another the dining room, another the sitting room, and so on. One small maid was the mistress of the house, and the other was the servant girl. Then the big man came strolling along with a book in his hand and, all unconscious, perched himself on the softest stone in the middle of that wall. "Oh, look how he comes and spoils our play!" wailed one of the twain. "No, indeed," replied the other, with a happy inspiration. "He's my husband, and he's reading in his den, and he's not to be disturbed, so we needn't notice him." So the game went on. Hidden Troasuroo of tho Tiber. The waters of the Tiber are said to cover many costly treasures of antiquity. From Lake Nemi, near Rome, many bronze armaments and statuary from the floating palaces of the Emperors Tiberius and Caligula have already been recovered. It has long been the dream of poets and the belief of antiquaries that the Tiber's bed conceals a vast amount of artistic treasures which have been flung Into it either from wanton recklessness or for the purpose of preservation from sacrilege. There Is a legend that Attila buried ail his treasure beneath the river.

OLD HOSE HOUSE GETS NEW ROOF

President B. A. Kennepohl of the board of works and Mayor Zimmerman yesterday made an inspection of the condition of the roof of No. 1 hose house on South Sixth and E streets. Mr. Kennepohl has received several complaints that the roof has been leaking and will ask the board of works to construct a new roof. He stated that the cupalo on the roof would probably be torn off as it would take as much material for covering this as the rest of the roof. The house is no longer used by the fire department, but is used by the street department for a warehouse. BURBAGE, THE ACTOR. 1 Ho Woo tho First to Appear In Shakespeare's Loading Role. The first actor to personate Shakespeare's leading characters was Richard Burbage, who was probably boin in the same year with Shakespeare, and whose name stands next to that of Shakespeare in the licences for acting granted to the company at the Globe theater. In London, by James I. in 1608 Burbage was performing at the Globe theater on the night of June 29, 1613, when that edifice was burned. This was shortly after Shakespeare had given up the stage and retired upon a competency to his native town of Stratford. It is said that because of this disaster not one line of a drama by Shakespeare, in his handwriting op in the handwriting of that period, has been preserved. Burbage died March 16, 1618, two years after Shakespeare, and his death was the occasion for much more elegiac effusion than had followed the death of his great but modest friend. The poets, who had been under heavy obligations to the actor, felt his loss severely and gave him what post mortem payment they could. It is said that Burbage was also a successful painter In oil. Oh. that he had given the immortal bard a sitting or two before his easel, but doubtless he painted for ready money, and It may be that Shakespeare was not a desirable patron of art! Burbage, like Shakespeare, was not unthrifty, and at his death left a landed estate that produced 300 a year, equivalent to about six times that amount today or almost $10,000 a year. Exchange. THE YELLOW HAMMER. And tho Tie That Binds the Bird to the State of Alabama. It is not generally known that the state bird of Alabama is the yellow hammer. In explanation of this fact the chairman of the fish and game commission of the state writes as follows: "As a matter of history it is known that Confederate uniforms became scarce toward the end of the war; therefore in order to provide the gallant Confederates with proper clothing the good women picked the cotton, carded it into rolls, spun them into thread, wove it on home made looms into cloth, and then they were distressed to find that they did not have nor could they procure the dye with which to color the cloth they had made. They deliberated over this vexed question for many days, and finally an ingenious dame suggested that hickory bark be boiled and that the cloth be dipped into the yellow water that would result from the boiling process. "The happy thought was enthusiastically hailed, and tidings of the solution swept the state, and. so all the uniforms were made of bright yellow cloth. The coats were made with long tails, and the soldiers that wore them, when they ran after the enemy, very much resembled the yellow hammer, the bird that seems to dip through the air as gracefully as does the seagull skim the waves of the opal ocean.

J. LOUIS SHEHK TO SING FOR ALLIANCE Baritone to Assist in Program Given by German Alliance, Nov. 27. J. Louis Shenk, baritone, heard with delight by Richmond audiences in several concerts, will sing at tho entertainment which the German alliance will give at St. John's hall on the evening of November 27. The singer has donated his services to the organization, which 01. this evening will give a program o;' German songs and humor. A nominal admission fee will be charged for the entertainment. J. Louis Shenk was born on August 21, 1882 in Allen County, Ohio, in a "Log Cabin similar to the one in which Abraham Lincoln was born. His musical studies began at the age of nine years in a Country "Singing School." His first teacher was Mr. Ehrgott, of Cincinnati. After that he studied with Mr. A. E. Prescott, of Boston, Mass. In 1909 he went abroad

and studied Oratorio with Sir Henry J. Wood, the eminent conductor of the Queens Hall Orchestra in London, England. He also studied Phonetics with Prof. Augustus Iffert of Dresden. Germany, and finally coached with Alexander Heinemann, the great German lleder singer of Berlin. Mr. Shenk is the possessor of a magnificent baritone voice of exceptional warmth and flexibility. For the past few years he has been concertizing in the Middle West, where his art met with universal approval. His audiences wherever he has appeared have been most enthusiastic, and he was highly complimented on the beautiful timbre of his voice, his excellent diction, and versatility. Mr. Shenk has written a number of splendid songs which is evidence of his ability as a thorough musician as well as a singer. He has also written some beautiful poems, and has made a number of unusually fine translations from the German. CORONER'S VERDICT Verdict on the death of William Compton, which occurred November 2 at the office of Dr. S. C. Markley. South Seventh street, has been filed in the office of the county clerk by Dr. R. J. Pierce, county coroner. The verdict states that death was due to pulmonary hemorrhage, a sequence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Compton stepped upon the porch at the residence of Dr. Markley and rang the door bell. The physician went to the door and found Compton leaning against the building, suffering from a hemorrhage. The physician assisted the man into his office, where the latter fell unconscious on the floor. Another physician was summoned, but Compton died within ten minutes. FORCED HIM TO SING. An Occasion When Aboil Made Up His Mind In a Hurry. It is probable that on no occasion has any other musician had to practice his art under more disagreeable circumstances than that In which Abell, a singer of the seventeenth century, ence found himself. It appears that while Abell was rambling through Poland he was sent for to go to court, and after evading the request by excuses for a short time he was commanded to attend. At the palace Abell was placed in a chair In the center of a spacious hall and suddenly drawn up to a great height. The king, with his attendants, appeared In a gallery opposite him as he sat thunderstruck in his suspended chair. At the same instant several bears entered the hall with their keepers. As the singer gazed in horror at these ferocious creatures the king calmly inquired whether he preferred to sing or be let down among the bears. The singer's choice, of course, was quickly made, and be afterward declared that in spite of his terror he never sang better in his life, although he admitted he might have introduced a few more "shakes" than usual in his songs. New York Press. Fata Morgana. The kind of mirage known as fata morgana Is seen across straits or lakes In southern Europe and shows in calm weather such Images In the air as those of towns, castles and palaces. On the Lake of Geneva it is sometimes seen on fine afternoons of spring or summer. F. A. ForeL the well known Swiss Investigator, has been giving some attention o the curious apparitions and concludes that they are due to a peculiar distribution of temperature tn the air over the water. In the morning, the air being cooler than the lake, the opposite bank seems to be depressed, exaggerating the earth's rotundity, and late in the afternoon, the air having become hotter than the waters surface, the opposite bank apparently rises above the true horizon and the earth's circumference is enlarged. For a few moments only, at the change from one condition to the other, the fata morgana may be seen. Why Ho Had to Have an Offico. An inherited fortune and the disposal of an organized business enabled a well known Chicagoan to retire. He had the inclination for leisure, but could not surrender the idea of having a definite business abiding spot. He rented an office in a lofty building and went to Europe. After a six months' absence he returned, looked the building over and went to South America. Then after again verifying the report that the building was not crumbling, he took a Jaunt to Japan. Not long ago on of his old cronies said: "Frank, why don't you give np yom office? Ton don't need it. That's true," said Frank. -I would give it up, bat I don't know what to do with the rug.

HO FUNERAL HERE

Instead, Wayne County Will Debut and Invites Bill Friends to the BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. This column is In receipt of what might be regarded as a flattering, if somewhat enigmatic communication. Through the medium of the ubiquitous post-card. On the near-side of which appears the following strange and curious legend "If you consider your advice so good, why give it away?" In red letters against a white background. And, motto-wise, surrounding the figure of a haughty female leading a dog of preposterous anatomy. In the offing deploys a remnant counter collection of sinuous males bearing sealed envelopes. And on the fringes appears weirdly "Chunks of Wisdom," in large, fat caps. Printing office caps. On the other band the facade is decorated with hieroglyphics which would not indicate a rigid course pursued in our best business colleges to the following effect: "Please let us know through the Palladium columns when the Bull Moose funeral will be." Signed, "Bill Smith." Passing lightly over the seeming inconsistency of the reserve sides of this Interesting communication and the fact that 'Bill Smith." may or may not be "Bill" but another man by the same name or mayhap some victorious, if degenerate, member of the coming dominant political classes posted within the purlieus of Palladium or, hideous deduction! a message from the submerged ones whom the picturesque Frederick Landls denominated as the descendants of Jesse James passing, as just said, lighUy on we come to the stamp. A cocky-looking one-center, pasted rakiBhly without regard to stamp pasting rules and regulations. Or instructions from the oracles of the women's section in the Sunday papers. A dissipated seeming stamp which had the general appearance of having made a night of it. Or pasted on by some-one having a juicy and hilarious jag. Incidentally the contents of the glue-pot had been emptied in its environ. While thi3 description may sound like the detective stories published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company and platted out for the consumption of the fingertip experts it is not with such deadly Intent. Merely to let Bill Smith know his card was received and placed, according to Hoyle, on this column's typewriter. "Is the gentleman anonymous? Is he a great unknown?" Is this Bill or is Bill afraid to sign his real name! Jump into the arena, Bill, and biff this column in the face. Don't sneak round by way of the post office department and the menials who go for the mail. Anonymous post-card writers are, too, sometimes classed with cowards, cads and other human debris. But we opine this is not BI1L Bill is a humourist. Of that peculiar brand which buys post-cards at drug-stores and sends them to the people he may or may not know. And then tip-toes round after dark and looks through the windows to watch his victims scrutinizing them under the family lamp. If Bill Isn't a member of the Republican County Central Committee he's a Prohibitionist. He isn't a Democrat. No self-respecting Democrat would take the trouble to write post-cards to anybody at this juncture. It isn't necessary. As to the Bull Moose funeral it isn't a case of a funeral but a christening. The Bull Moose party Is a lively infant and is just out of his swaddling clothes. When the hoary-headed old Democrats are sitting round the workhouse fire reminiscing of the past glories of their party the Bull Moose will be dancing at his coming out ball. The Republican party won't be doing anything. Because it will be mouldering in the tomb. The undertakers have the body and are preparing the winding sheet. "What is a winding sheet?" casually inquired the misanthrope. "The Spanish for shroud," whispered the other person. In any event when the funeral does come off it won't be in Wayne County. And the only occasion for a funeral at all will be in the event of strangulation by the Fairbankses. Keallngs and Penroses and other of their peculiar ilk who might capture the party organization in a future which contains no such possibility. You can't discount the Progressives. Nor a man who can make a new party in twenty-four hours that will. In three months time, disrupt and nullify one of the oldest and most powerful political organizations known to the history of any country. Nor the leader of such a new party who takes a one million lead over the representative of the latter in the popular vote. The performance of the Progressives was as astonishing as its successes were indisputable. Nobody expected the national ticket to win. With a horde of hungry and starving Democrats Hues up on the outposts ready to jump in by way of the postern door as soon as the latter swung on its hinges all holding bands tight and taut and with the two remaining parties made up, practically

Soon Have Its Progressive Smith and All of His Party.

foe a house divided against itself to i mix the figures no sane person could doubt the outcome. But It is the iuroads the Progressives made that are the measure by which to judge it. From the disinterested standpoint of the non-voter the supreme and utter assininity of the leaders of the Chicago convention when they tried to ram poor old Taft and his cohorts down the throats of the Republicans of this country when the latter had Indicated unmistakably they didn't want them is only equalled by the driveling idiocy of the campaign that followed. You can't make people swallow something they can't stomach. The Republican party was suffering from a bad case of complete nausea and it threw up every does administered. And could only gain a new lease dn life by an entire change of diet. And some regard for the laws of cause and effect. You're got to take some account of the condition of your patient if you're trying to cure him. The people of this country are tired of the old order of things. They want a change if its only a change. And it's merely a change that they'll get with Woodrow Wilson. Admittedly a fine type of Americanism. Wilson will be more than human if he shakes off the incubus of the lever that pushed him into power. If he sidesteps wily Taggertism which is the thing that got him the nomination he'll execute a political dido that will exalt him down the ages. But it Is doubtful if he will ever try. For Wilson is an exponent of expediency. And while the man himself may be typical of liberalism, he represents nothing. Notwithstanding his pratlng6 of a "cause." Wilson's a Democrat and stands for the tenets of Democracy. He doesn't represent the new political man of this country. For events have moulded a recreated civic creature. The old Is a puppet pulled by the strings of tradition. And fresh blood can't be injected into the latter's veins. The political quantity of the future is the Progressive. He's just born. He's healthy, lusty and growing. He's the heir apparent. If Bill Smith and his friends are hankering to attend a real for sure bona fide funeral of a "dead corpse" let 'em hie to the 'corner of Tenth and Main, South West, and in an upper chamber they will find the obsequies in progress. The deadest thing in this vicinity Is laid out there on the cooling' board.
