(Special) The school children of San Francis co and of California will not be called upon to contribute their nickels and dimes toward a transportation fund to bring the famous liberty bell to San Francisco for the Panama Pacific In ternational exposition. The Southern Pacific company, through its officials in this city, yes terday made an offer to the exposition directors to transport the liberty bell from San Francisco free of charge-. The railroad offers to bring the bell out and to give it as much attention throughout the trip as is now given it in its present resting place in Phila delphia. , 'A 3 state of Pennsylvania values the liberty bell as much as it does the his tory connected with it and the South ern Pacific officials are prepared to see that provisions are made for a com pany of Pennsylvania militia to guar.-! the bell on its long trip across tne continent. The trip of the honored old bell that in 1776 announced the signing of the Declaration of Independence; will be a triumphal procession. At every sta tion in the country where the trai-i Blops and It will have to stop at near ly all of them thousands of school children and their parents will gathoi to see the bell that tolled the greatest story that lias ever been published in the United States. It is planned to erect a small belfry on a oar and to hang the bell in that for the trip! across the continent. United States history began with the tolling of the liberty bell and there Is not a native I of this great country who does not wanted to see the beginning of tno history of the United States. Spokane, Wash., Jan. 18. (Special! I "An agricultural school or aq ex periment station should be eataullsh- ed in the outskirts of every largo city j-1 in the United States," declarer R. J. Maclean, secretary of the Spokane chamber of commerce. He believes this would, In a measure, solve"" the j cost of high living and would direct 1 attention to the production of basic resources. .Continuing he said: I "J- do not agree with, the president of the Washington Educational ,asu ciarlun when he says that mora atten tiou should be devoted in the schools to commercial lines. I believo that we should first devote bur attoutlon to education in agriculture and min ing. These are the pursuits from wwen an weaun emanates and on which all other pursuits are defend ent. Increase activity in these lines and you, perforce, must increase nc tlvity in commercial and nil other lines. "If Hie schools teach agriculture, agriculture will become morn popu- lar. We will then have more farmers and naturally more production : and tnore valuable resources. , "If I had my way about it there would be an agricultural school or an experiment station in the outskirts of every large city to educate young men in things pertaining to the farm, The difficulty now is that the city man who wants to learn something of agriculture must usually go; a long distance away, entailing great expense In the cities there are thousands of- people who merely eke out an exist ence. How much better they would be If they were on farms. "The country boy who comes to the city for the first time is very green with respect to city ways. But "there is nothing greener than the city boy on a farm for the first time. Our city people do not know enough aboiit farming, and If they knew more we would be able to solve, in a measure, the high living cost." A Great Csiinioa l To Make Momej Spokane, Wash., Jan. 18. (Special One of the most unique dinners uve served in Spokane was giveajtfanu try 10th at the Spokane hotel, when the annual meeting of the Buying-at home league of Spokane was held The only edibles were those grown or made at or near Spokane.,, The viands were served on dishes manufactured in this city and the ci cars were "Flor de spoKano. mu these things were trimmings to com plete the "'pine de resistance," which consisted of foods produced by the Spokane country. The dinner proved surprise to many of the guests ns it is unlikely that even the best in formed among them as to the resourc es of the Inland empire enjoyed full knowledge ol its capacities to spread i' table with home grown dainties all the way from soup to walnuts. The eague has blocked out extensive plans to educate the Spokane public during 912 Into the profitable and praise worthv habit of buying Spokane made goods and thus encouraging Spokane Industries. l . her Now constitution for Granite State.

MINERS CLIMAX (By United Press) London, Jan. 18. A Bpeclal confer ence of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain assembled today in Birmingham to canvass the vote cast by the membership last week on the strike proposition. The outlook Is causing uneasiness in many quarters, for the belief prevails that the count will show an overwhelming majority in favor of the stoppage of work. The leaders of the miners' organization continue to voice their opposition, but the rank and file of the membership is believed to favor extreme measures to enforce their demands and the or ganization Itself will be obliged to abide by the vote of the men. A general strike of the coal miners will mean the most serious industrial disturbance that the United Kingdom has experienced sinec the dispute In the engineering trades nearly a quar tr of a century ago. The total num ber of men employed In and about the coal mines exceeds 1,000,000. The to tal output of the mines amounts to about 725.000 tons a day. It is cal culated that there Is about three weeks supply of conl In stock. The miners are in a better condition now to engage in a .finish fight than they ever were before.

Governor Stubbs Is a warm admirer ot Senator La Fol lette, but believes that he should not be nominated for president for the 17 weeks rather than submit to a 25. per cent reduction in their wages, al-i though they had nothing like the nc- j cumulated funds they have now. The demand of the men for a mini-1 mum wage is practically the sole point at issue. Agreement on all oth- j rea80 t,,at h'3 removal frora the lr er Issues has been deemed possible from the start, but agreement on the question of a minimum wage, whlct has now entirely displaced all other demands, appears very Improbable. The mine owners are a unit In their opposition to the establishment of a minimum wage. They argue that it would be manifestly unjust to ask an employer to pay a mlnfuiunr wage to a man Irrespectively ot his ability or dlsnosition to perform a fair day's work. The truth of the mine owners' con tentlon In regards to the Injustice of the minimum wage is acknowledged In a measure by themlners, and In this Is to be found the one ray or hone that a general strike may be averted. The miners have suggested the setting up of a board or commis sion in each district for dealing with pvcentlonal cases, such as those of men whose age or infirmities dlsquali fy them from performing an average days labor and who, therorore, migni be employed at a wage below the es tablished minimum. The germ of a posible compromise ies in this suggestion from the min ers, and when the board of trade steps as a mediator for, judging from the present outlook, It seems unlikely be two sides will come together of their own accord there will be at least one definite suggestion from the men to go upon. $ POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. s- t.,a4ssta-iBivp"p( Speaker Adklns of the Illinois house of representatives has formally an nounced his candidacy for the repub lican nomination for governor.
