At
Once
By JAMES J. HILL, Railroad
CHE importance of instruction for the work of the farm is
now universally recognized. The number of institutions
teaching agriculture in the United States increased from 545
in October, 1908, to 875 in May, 1910, a gain of more than
60 per cent in nineteen months. Agricultural colleges receiving fed
eral funds are in operation today in every state of the Union.
There were 10 per cent more students in agriculture in these insti
tutions in 1910 than in 1909 and more than eight time3 as MANY
STUDENTS TAKING THE TEACHERS' COlHiSE T AGRI
CULTURE Since then the work has grown rnnidlv. Extension
work, short courses, farm institutes and the running of instruction
trains by the railroads at their own expense an- now familiar and pop
ular features. The movement to educate has m-cpiiml much headway.
Our experiment stations, schools and .Ilexes are doing good
work, but it falls short of our immediate needs. They are mainlv en
gaged in EDUCATING TEACHERS. Meantime the FARM IT
SELF LANGUISHES. Only a small percentage of the children of
farmers became students in these institutions. Only a small percent
age of those go back to the farm.
THE SOIL IS TILLED. THE CROPS ARE RAISED FOR THE MOST
PART BY MEN WHO CANNOT ATTEND COLLEGE. HIGH SCHOOL OR
EXTENSION COURSE. IN A GENERATION OR TWO THE EDUCA
TIONAL PROCESS GOING ON MAY LEAVEN THE WHOLE LUMP.
BUT THE COUNTRY CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT FOR THAT;
The condition of the farm and the statistics of production crv out
for INSTRUCTION, AND AT ONCE, FOK THE WHOLE
BODY OF FARMERS.

THOSE CONVENTION CONTESTS.
William J. Bryan was in the nation
al Republican convention at Cnicago
as a newspaper reporter, so that as
a matter of business, as well as of
politics, he followed closely the evi
dence and the argument in the case
of all the contested delegates.
Mr. Bryan is on the stump earnest
ly supporting Professor Wilson and
earnestly opposing President Taft.
If Mr. Bryan, the reporter, had
learned anything that would help
Bryan, the orator, to make a stronger
case against President Taft don't
you suppose that he would have told
it? To put it another way, doun't you
suppose that if Mr. Bryan believd the
nomination for President Taft had
been stolen he would be saying so to
every audience he addresses? He is
not saying so, and is not that fact
about as strong evidence as any one
should need that the Taft nomination
was not stolen?
In point of fact, those who have
taken, the trouble to study the evi
dence in the contest cases, no matter
how strong had been their convictions
before doing so that the cases had not
been fairly decided, have been forced
to the conclusion that there is no
ground whatever for the attacks that
have been made upon the integrity of
the national committee and the con
vention. If any reader of this is
among those who are still under the
impression that the contest were not
honestly! decided he should write to
Chicagd, 111., and ask for a copy of
that subject. It is a candid statement
of an honorable man who heard the
testimony in every case and it is ab
solutely convincing.
Dolls Stuffed With Fortunes.
The Bank of France destroys old
notes by placing them in a vat and
subjecting them to the action of certain
corrosive acids. In a few moments the
banknotes are reduced to pulp. This
pulp is sold to toymakers, who use it
for stuffing their less expensive dolls,
so that the plaything of a child may be
stuffed with what was once a fortune.

It Was a Good Beginning, But

Teaching Girls to Cook.
Although cookbooks come in rapid
succession so fast indeed, that it
would take a good sized library to
bouse them instead of the modest little
shelf that formerly sufficed for the lit
erature of the cuisine the require
ments of the child cook have been
somewhat overlooked.
One of the most popular features of
the public school exhibitions held each
year is the demonstration by the little
girl cooks from the cooking classes.
The leading chefs of the day are inva
riably to be found in the front ranks
of the onlookers on these occasions and
are loud in their admiration of the lit
tle girls' skill and resourcefulness.
Not the least pleasing feature of
these displays is the evident delight of
the children in their work. Yorkshire
puddings are whisked with a will, pas
try is proudly rolled out on the floured
board and the nicely browned meat
taken out of the oven with a grand
flourish that arouses the envy of every
other child in the room.
Nearly every little girl longs to cook
something all by herself, if it is only
candy or chestnuts over the nursery
fire, and too often those responsible for
their care, afraid of burned fingers and
spoiled frocks, postpone the first cook
ery lesson until the girl has her time
fully taken up with the faany interests
that have been opened out to the mod
ern schoolgirl and no longer wants to
learn how to cook.
How the little girl may take the first
steps In the art of good cooking is told
simply and clearly in language that
could be understood by every child.
Reading to the Little Ones.
Sometimes read to the children. In
that lull before bedtime, a few verses
or a short. poem from some classic that
you love.
Ton try to surround your children as
far as possible with good pictures,
tasteful furnishings and colorings, be
cause you think that early environment
educates unconsciously. By the same
token listening to and becoming fa
miliar with the best In our language
will In the future' enable them to re
Ject the mediocre and tawdry in liter
ature. as in material things.
Pick up your Tennyson and soothe
and quiet them with the dreamy music
of the choric song, from the "Lotus
Eaters:"
There Is sweet music here that softller

Than petals from blown roses tn the grass,
or that exquisite lullaby from the
"Princess."
Sweet and low, sweet and low.

The splendor falls on castle walls
Aad sunny summits old In story,
or the lilting sound of "The Brook:"
I chatter over stony ways
In little sharps and trebles;
I bubble Into eddying bays;

Can a child whose ears ' are attuned
I to such sounds care for commonplace
or trashy In literature?
The Man of the House.
"I was left alone for a time with my
two boys aged five and three and un
til then I had never realized Just what
an important factor their father had
been in their government." said a fond
parent "I had never believed In cor
poral punishment, and now that the
responsibility fell entirely upon me 1
set myself the task of finding a better
method. After several failures I tried
this and found It most effective. I had
often told the older boy that when his
father was away he must be the "man
of the house.' Now, 1 wrote upon a
paper the name of each boy and pinned
the paper upon the walL I explained
to them carefully that whenever they
were naughty I would put a black
j mark after their names and whenever
I they were especially obedient or help
ful I would put down a Yound ring.
Then at the end of the day we com
pared the two. and the one with the
best record was the "man of the house
the next day.
"The 'man of the house' was allowed
to sit at his father's place and serve
I the meals. Whenever there were no-
black marks on the day's record I gave
them a prize. They entered into tfie
little game with great enthusiasm. It
really takes so little to Interest a child
If one goes ahour it in the right wayl"

Vedrines Winning the Bennett
Aviation Trophy at Chicago

Photo by American Press Association.
O far as speed is concerned, supremacy In aviation must be conceded to
Jules Vedrines, known in France as "the greatest living air man," who
recently won the James Gordon Bennett cup over a course near Chicago.
He was an easy winner by reason of his consummate skill and the
superiority of his monoplane, which was of 140 horsepower as against the 100
horsepower of the two competing machines, both driven by Frenchmen. The
cup was won in a flight in which his best speed was 105 miles an hour.
After the cup race Vedrines made an exhibition flight in better time, covering
the sme distance (12.4 miles) in 6 minutes 55.95 seconds. His rate per hour
for this flight was nearly 107 miles. The photograph shows him rounding
one of the pylons which marked the course.
Pillow Slips For the Baby.
The desire of every mother's heart is
to have pretty things for her own.

In the matter of pillow slips the I
fancy runs to small ones, having a de !
Sign embroidered In the corner. This

about it, or a more ornamental spray
of small buds, leaves and blossoms,
but whatever the design the work I
always done In white, and the material
of which the pillow slip Is made musi
be of softest cotton or linen.
It is a grave mistake to embroider n
pillowslip in the center, because the
skin of a baby Is naturally delicatr
and tender. nd even a grown person
would find It uncomfortable to lie
with the face pressed against an em
broidered design.
What a Jubilee Is.
Some years ago, before Queen Victo
ria's death and about the time that the
queen's Jubilee was to be celebrated,
the following conversation between
two old Scotchwomen was overheard
one day on a street corner In London:
"Can ye tell me. wumman. what is it
they call a jubilee?"
"Well, it's this," said her neighbor.
"When folk has been married twenty
five years that's a silver wuddin', and
when they have been married fifty
years that's a golden wuddin', but if
the mon's dead then it's a jubilee."

Parliament.
The name "parliament" is derived
from the French word "parler." to
speak. The word was originally writ
ten "parlenient," as in French, and.
although the spelling has gradually
changed, the pronunciation remains
the same. The earliest mention of the
word "parliament" in the English stat
tutes is in the preamble to the statute
of Westminster in 1272. For the origin
of the institution Itself we must go
back to Anglo-Saxon times, when it
flourished as the witenagemot. In the
reign of Henry III. parliament was
formally separated into the two bouses
of lords and commons, and the deliber
ations were conducted in separate
chambers.
Them That havs Not.
Following over the trail of the
charming young social Worker whom
the city missionary had turned loose
on a helpless slum district, the mission
ary was grieved to hear most of her
acts of helpfulness characterized as
"blamed foolishness."
"What do you call an act of foolish
ness in those who seek to uplift you,
Mrs. Brown?" he said severely to one
complainant.
"Giving a $5 cookbook to a woman
whose husband is out of work half the
time and can't scratch up more than
$6 a week the other half." was the suc
cinct reply.
And the missionary agreed with her.

Ironing Tablecloths.
The effect of a lovely linen tablecloth
is often spoiled by the network of
creases caused by folding it In the
future when ironing the cloth fold it
once through the middle, roll and tie
with a piece of tape. In this manner
there will be but the one crease and
the tablecloth will lie flat and smooth
upon the table. Indianapolis Star.
