SPEAKER ADVOCATES COMMUNITY CLUBS

C. O. Williams Also Urges Vocational Training in Rural Schools. ADVANTAGES ON FARM Superintendent Says Farmers Should Hold Children in Country. Vocational training in the country tschoola was strongly advocated by County Superintendent Williams in a talk before the Columbia Farmers' association last niKht. The work of County Agent Cobb In establishing community clubs in the county will receive the support of the county superintendent of schools, he said. Mr. Williams' subject was "Farmer and Ills School, fie first introduced in his talk the good which is already apparent from vocational training in the schools, especially the country schools. He made a comparison of the Irst rural schools with the present-day country schools. The evolution of subjects taught in these schools was given. "Years ago, the farmers' children received their only education before academy, in the home," said Mr. Williams. "Then country schools were established and such subjects as Latin, Greek, mathematics and other studies entirely impractical for use by men who Intended following farming, formed a large part of the curriculum. War History Studied. "At the time of the civil war when patriotism was needed, revolutionary war history was introduced. It had the desired effect on that generation. Then men began to see that country children needed something besides cultural or disciplinary work and that the practical side had been neglected. The changes came about gradually, and there Is still more to be done along the line of giving children in both country and city schools what is needed In their life's work. "The idea of vocational work in schools is not to turn out imitators who are able to do just what is taught them, but to give the pupils broader minds "As a part of the vocational education comes the community organizations such as the Columbia club, to go beyond what one teacher can express and give men a chance to exchange ideas and discuss subjects which others put before them. Wants More Clubs. " I hope to see many more clubs established in the county, and I want the schools fully equipped for vocational work." Mr. Williams deplored the fact that many young men and women are leaving the farm. He said the farmers make the mistake of telling their children that farm life Is easier than city life, painting pictures of an easy life in the fresh air and sunshine, as compared with dark scenes of life in a city. He told the farmers to take their boys into factories and have them ask men how much they make, how much they save and how long they usually hold their jobs. Fred Davis, president of the association, spoke on the advantages introduced into farm life. He appealed to the young people at the meeting to take advantage of the advanced metheds now offered. RICHMOND ACTRESS ARRESTS Hands Crushing Blow Broadway Cafe Character. to Miss Antoinette Rochte, an actress and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hartcorn, 46 South Eleventh street, this city, was the heroine a few days ago, in New York, of a comedy in real life which has made Benjamin P. Coffin, a well known cafe character, and Broadway "masher," the laughing stock of the gay white way. Miss Rochte was walking down Broadway to fill an important engagement when she was accosted by Coffin who asked her where she was going and what her hurry was. "Oh, I am going where I am going," replied Miss Rochte and Coffin proceeded to follow her. She made no objection, and Coffin imagined he had made another conquest. His dream was rudely shattered a few minutes later, however, when Miss Rochte led him up to a stalwart traffic officer and requested his arrest, which request the policeman promptly complied with, to the great anguish of Coffin. BREAKERS AHEAD FOR GRAY'S PLAN WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. The house committee on foreign affairs now has the resolution introduced by Representative Finly H. Gray, of Indiana, which is inteuded to pave the way for an argument among the nations of the world to cease military preparations. The committee probably will undertake to sit on it, but the sitting may not be very good as peace societies and similar organizations all over the country are beginning to bombard congress with a demand for its passage. There has been a good deal of antagonism to Gray in the house, especially since he boldly challenged the propriety of the members chipping in to buy a wedding present for Miss Jessie Wilson. There is a determination manifest on all sides not to pay much attention to him or his measures. His joint peace resolution is entitled "to provide for the invitation, reception and entertainment of the members of the parliaments and national legislative bodies of the world and to authorize an assembly composed of such members to be held in the United States." The French military authorities have succeeded In making a man-carrying kite.

TEACHER WHIPS YOUTH; PARENT BRINGS CHARGE

EATON. O., Dec. 5. Because she whipped Ulace Odell, Miss Florence Wehrley, a teacher in the district school of Somers township, is named defendant in an assault and battery charge brought by the boy's father, Thomas J. Odell. The grand jury may investigate the case at its next session. Miss Wehrley waived the right of an examination when she was arraigned yesterday before Juge E. O. Barnett of Camden. The case is attracting the interest of the community, and there were many spectators in the court room expecting to hear the examination. Miss Wehrley denies that she unmercifully whipped the eight-year-old boy. However, she admits she punished him for a series of offenses he committed in school. Unless the case is settled or the charge withdrawn, the state's attorney will bring the matter before the next session of the grand jury. William Walls Dies.

! As an aid in jumping rabbits rfom ! their nests in meadows and stubble fields, a few Preble county hunters have struck upon a scheme which is said to be working like a charm. A chain of medium weight is the main asset. Reaching a field to be hunted, the sportsmen take hold of each end of the chain and walk apart far enough to permit the drag to touch the ground. This scheme makes the hunt thorough and requires but little time to cover all the territory. Personal and Otherwise. T. B. Snyder, living north of Eaton, has been re-appointed deputy game warden for Preble county. A farmers' institute, under the di- ; rection of the College of Agriculture, will be held December 10 and 11 at West Alexandria. State lecturers assigned are E. C. Martindale and E. A. Brenneman.

TWENTY-EIGHT DIE IN TEXAS FLOODS High Water Moves Southward Devastating Rich Farm Lands. DALLAS, Tex., Dec. 5. Although flood conditions have improved in th j northern section of the devastated central Texas, the flood center has ! moved southward today and lives and property were menaced between Richmond and Hearne. The heavy rain has ceased, and as the water receded I the state troops became more vigilant ;in guarding against looters. In East ; Waco today residents returning to their homes reported that hundreds of dollars worth of valuable had veen stolen while the water covered the town.

I DROPSY TREATED FREE By Dr. Miles, the Great Specialist, Who Will Send a New $3.75 Treatment Free. Many Have Been Cured After Doctors Failed. At first no disease is apparentlymore harmless than dropsy; a little swelling of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles or abdomen. Finally there is great shortness of breath, cough, faint spelts, sometimes nausea and vomiting even bursting of the limbs and a lingering and wretched death if the dropsy is not removed. Dr. Miles has been known as a leading specialist in these diseases for 30 years. His liberal offer of a $3.75 Treatment free to all sufferers, is certainly worthy of serious consideration. You may never have such an opportunity again. The Grand Dropsy Treatment consists of four dropsy remedies in one, also Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for removing the water. This treatment is specially prepared for each patient and is ten times as successful as that of most physicians. It usually relieves the first day, and removes swelling In six days in most cases. Delay is dangerous. Send for Remarkable Cures in Your State. All afflicted readers may have Book. Examination Chart, Opinion, Advice, and a Two-Pound Treatment free. Write at once.

WEATHER CAUSES UPSET IN MARKET

Consumption of Oysters Is Less Than Half That of Past Season. Prevailing warm weather has considerably upset th market of feedstuff s. The delectable oyster has so slumped in demand that dealers have been cancelling advance orders right and left. At the present the consumption of oysters for the beginning of the oyster season has ben less than half what it usually is. according to a statement made by John Eggemeyer today. With the continued warm weather the hens have started to laying agiiin. Where a week ago a dozen eggs was a large consignment from one farm they arc- now arriving in six dozen lots They are now retailing at forty cents a dozen. Egg Prices Drops. The high price of ej-;s has cut their demand and with this lias come a decrease in the price of bacon which is less sought for when eegs can not be had to serve with it. The price of chickens is being kept high by the scarcity of rabbits. I'sually at this time of year the market is flooded with the cottontails, but there are few to be had this year and so the demand is turned to chickens. Indications roint to cheaper turkeys for Christinas than could be obtained for Thanksgiving. Few of the birds were marketed for Thanksgiving because they were in poor condition, moat of the turkey raisers preferring to hold them for the Christmas trade when they would be in better condition. Dealers paid sixteen and seventeen cents a pound for them then, but are counting on getting them for the Christmas trade for at least two cents less. Apples Also Cheaper. Warm weather has cheapened the price of high-grade apples which have been taken from storage. The dealers are unable to hold them long and in many cases are going to be compelled to let loose of them at asacrihee. New York state opples dropped a dollar a barrel in price in the last week. Even Florida oranges have felt the depressing influence of the weather. Large quantities of them are held in Chicago and Cincinnati every winter, waiting to be shipped wherever scarcity develops. The warm weather has compelled the shippers to sell them at once, and as a result the price of ornnges has dropped 75 cents on the box during the present week. Grapes have suffered from the wsather. Good grapes are scarce and very high in price, while there is a large amount of inferior fruit on the market at a relativesly low price. I EAST GERMANTOWN I EAST GERMANTOWN, Ind., Dec. 5. Philip Franzman left Tuesday for Brazos Valley, Tex., where he owns 280 acres Cf land. The proposed purchase of a pipe organ for the Lutheran church took the Rev.
