Institute for Public Service made public some results of a national course at history test taken by more than 200,000 pupils. Twenty thousand of the students averaged only 46 percent on 10 questions about baseball, football and the movies. Of 500 seniors, more or them knew about DeValera, Lloyd Gaorge, Briand and General Leonard Wood tan about which team won the world's series or what shining light of the screen is starred in a current popular picture. A majority of 500 girl seniors knew about Sinn Feiners than about Mile. Lenglan ahd Ruth Lee. One of the most interesting results being analyzed are the answers . of 61 New York seniors. Forty-three of them could not identify Charles G. Dawes, national budget director; 33 had no idea as to Myron T.

WESTERN GO-EDS DO NOT SMOKE, SAYS DEAN (By Associated Press) BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 14. Smok Ing has not become a habit, or even a "condoned fad' 'among women students of western universities, Miss Olive Presler, president of the Associated Women Students of the University of California, commented on Associated Press dispatches from middle western university centers. Miss Presler said she knew personally more than half of the 5,000 women in the University of California and that of that number she knew none who ever had smoked. Smoking she said, was not allowed in the sorority houses or women's clubs, and the co eds code of honor forbade the prac tice. "At the last conference of the Western Intercollegiate Association of Women Students in Berkeley, a frank d Krnsslnn nf smokini? waa held" cho added, "and it was agreed that there was nothing to be feared from smoking among college women in the west."

As for Christy Mathewson, his picture elicited the answer that he was the man who sold out the world's series 1n 1920. A?ked the name of a popular novel giving the details of a small town, one student guessed "Robinson Crusoe" and 48 per cent of the seniors failed to think of "Main street." Thirty-five per cent of the boys did not know who won the last world's series; 50 per cent did not know Babe Ruth's home run record, and seventy per cent of the girl sen iors did not know the name of the only woman member of congress. Three of a hundred high school seniors could not identify Pershing and four of the same 100 did not recognize a picture of President Harding. After declaring it has cost between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 in money and time to educate 1,000 high school seniors, the report laments that "630 of them did not know the meaning of 'open shop'; 690 of them could not recognize a picture of Elihu Root ; 490 did not know anything about H.

ASSOCIATION FOR IRISH RECOGNITION NEED NOT EXIST NOW NEW Y'ORK, Feb. 14. The reason for the formation of the Irish American association for the recognition of the Irish republic no longer exisls, in the opinion of Edward L. Doheny, president of the association, who announces he favors the Irish Free State. Mr. Doheny had taken an active interest in the association, founded by Eamon de Valera. He underwrote the recent $4,000,000 Irish relief fund and has been one of the largest individual contributors in America to the Irish cause. Commenting on the recent action of the executive committee of the association in adopting a resolution supporting de Valera's fight for abso lute freedom, Mr. Doheny said: "I don't think any man or group of men has the right to set themselves up as representing the opinions of the vast army of Irish sympathizers. I have only just heard of that meeting. The full executive body was not present at the meeting, nor was its president. . ' "I am in favor of the treaty and I think the vast majority of Irishmen are. Give the new arrangement a chance. In 20 or 30 years from now, after a neighborly relation has devel oped between Great Britain and Ireland, then it will be time to strike out for the republic if people want it then."

He complained of the pressing burden of taxation tnd suggested the best remedy was a 1 . fuiaumcn Austen Chamberlain, replying for the government said that half the opposition speeches had been directea to defeating rather than carrying out the Geddes recommendations.

1922 by Int'L. Feature Service. FARMERS MAY BUY ' CERTIFIED POTATOES ! THROUGH UNIVERSITY Orders for certified seed potatoes which will be purchased through the Purdue extension department, if a car load can be disposed of, are pouring into the county agent's office, and he stated Tuesday that he expected to have enough soon for a carload. Already 30 prospective potato growers have ordered 200 bushels, with several parts of the county yet to be heard from. The potatoes, which are guaranteed free from all diseases, may include the Cobbler, Rural New Yorker and Early Ohio varieties. Purdue authorities are very anxious to extend the use of certified seed, as the yield can be materially increased, the average last year from certified seed being 58 bushels per acre. "The potatoes will be held until danger of freezing is past," said Mr. Dolan Tuesday, "and then shipped in plenty of time for planting. Orders may be sent in to me by telephone, postcard, or anyway, so that they come in soon. I hope no one will come in when planting time comes I cannot hold the orders after a mini mum carload is made up, and any who do not get orders in before that time will be left out WHEAT PRICES JUMP 6 1-2 GENTS A BUSHEL (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 14. heat prices i jumped as much as cents a busnei, at the opening of the board of trade.

Inc The Farm and By William R. Some of these fine days we expect to see a farmer walk into this office to tell us that he has a cow which gives a barrel of milk at every milking and that she just has to be milked four times daily, beginning at 5, before breakfast, and ending at 10, before going to bed. We are led to this conclusion from reading the report on a Holstein milk factory named Princess PolkadotJ owned by H. P. Fischer, of Shakopee, Minn. It is now claimed that this cow holds the world's record for milk and butter fat, having finishtd a yearly test on Jan. 15, with the production of 31,600 pounds of milk and 1,052.5 of butter fat, or the equivalent of 1,315 pounds of butter. Miss Polkadot Is a senior 4 year old. A man having anything on his mind beside milking has no business to own more than one cow of this class, for it takes hours and hours to do the milking and separating for five or six cows. But come to think of it, it might be possible to hire a man to help on the job, which is a comforting thought. A Community Enterprise 1 Cards have been mailed to Boston township farmers inviting their presence at a mass meeting to be held in the Boston school auditorium, on Wednesday evening. All residents of the township are included in the invitation, as the matter to come up is of general interest. A number of progressives are in favor of erecting a community building, one commodious enough to take care of large gather ings; also to provide a gymnasium with space for various indoor games. i The Wednesday night meeting will give everyone a chance to express! tHoii" rinirm in l-ialntinn tn this COTTA- ! munity enterprise. A. B. Parks, trustee, sponsors the meeting and issued , the invitations. The idea is a good one and is one that several other communities could emulate with profit should this be decided to be a good time to plan for such buildings, and as it probably is. Short Course and Corn Show. This is the final week of preparation for the short course and corn show. It opens at the Coliseum next Monday morning and will close on Tuesday evening. A really creditable show is planned and the short course could hardly be improved upon.

Addison Lewis, of Chatham, 111., writes to a Chicago editor to controvert the idea, so often expressed, that the cause of low prices for wheat in 1921 was the lack of export demand. He proceeds to show to the contrary, and says: "The following are the government figures for wheat and wheat floue exports: Average for years 1915-1919, inclusive. $227,998,600 bushels; year 1920, 307,630,000 bushels; 11 months year 1921, 340,694,000 bushels; year 1921, estimated, 350,000,000 bushels. The year 1921 showed the biggest export of wheat and flour ever known." These are impressive figures. In figuring the exports of flour five bushels of grain is taken as the equivalent of a barrel, although but tour bushels and 40 pounds of wheat is reauired. per barrel. If we assume these to be actual government tabula-1 i tions, it gives us an idea of what this j country can do in providing bread stuffs to the world, also it shows, regardless of estimates at various times, that we have been producing a world of wheat. Joint-Stock Elevators At the recent meeting of representatives of 270 farmers' elevators, at Moberly, Mo., the "plan" of the U. S. Grain Growers was endorsed, after some study of the contract. - One feature of the meeting is especially worthy of note. The Missouri farm elevators are rarely co-operative, but are joint-stock concerns. It was the sentiment of the meeting that this should be changed and the association went on record with a resolution requesting the next legislature to amend the laws to "simplify the procedure in changing elevator organizations to the purely co-operative form to render service to the community, rather than to pay dividends to the stockholders." This is surely an altruistic proposition. When to Sow Clover Great minds will diffar, even as to the best time of the year in which to i

sow clover. For example, there is a! merchant-farmer in this city whojl says that no one ever heard of Nature I

sowing clover in March, or In any spring month. "Nature sows clover in the early fall," says he; "sows it right where it grows, along the roadsides, in the clover fields, anywhere, also Nature sows all its wild seed just inai way. All right, let it go at that. In the meanwhile there are good reasons for varying from Nature's plan. Nature seems to make her crops to thrive For cold in th head and sere, tender kin. aak your druggitt for

the Farmer Sanborn without preparing or cultivating the soil; not so the farmer. His work is cut out for him and if he plan3 on getting a first-class stand of clover the time to sow is not far distant. A little farther south clover can be sown as early as March 1, or from the 1st to 15th, depending on the season Farmers tell us that this may be done here to advantage, if the weather is right and the land favorable. One authority says: "The best time to sow clover is when the ground is alternately freezing and thawing. Sow in the morning, when the ground is hard, and in a few days the seed will work its way into the ground." Indiana's Pooled Wool According to a statement in the "clip sheet" from Washington, Indiana pooled 1,300,000 pounds of wool in 1921, or more than one-third of the state production, and that "the cost of handling this wool from the wagon box to the manufacturer was less than 4 cents per pound." Figures won't lie, but mav be misleauing. For example: This cost of 4 cents per pound relates merely to the delivery, assorting and selling, in this instance at Columbus, Ohio. Sales were made f. o. b. Columbus, and the manufacturer still had the freight to pay to his plajit. It will thus be seen that, even under the most economical management, it costs a goodly percentage of the money received for lowpriced wool to get it into the hands of the weaver. , Indiana Has 5,466 Members Tht campaign for members by the U. S. Grain Growers has ben condnrtJed in Indiana without any beating of tom-toms, but is achievine results lust thf same. With reference to this fact a lef r just received from the American Farm Bureau headquarters at Chicago says: During the last two weeks Indiana has signed 1,063 members, a total of 5,466, which places that state third on the list in point of memberships. The ten leading states in Grain Growers' memberships are as follows: Illinois, 11,317; Nebraska, 8,533; Indiana, 5,466; North Dakota, 5,196: Missouri, 4,456; Iowa, 4.061: Oklahoma, 2,665; Minesota, 1,400; Kansas, 963; Colrado, 804.
