AS the result of the development of
our public school system and the cheap,
ening of books, there has grown up a
large class of men and women who seek
broader education, or desire to extend
their knowledge along special lines.
Their duties in life, or lack of means,
exclude them from the universities
The Cosmopolitan Magazine has under
taken the task of bringing liberal edu-
cation. in its broadest sense, within the
reach of those who have the aspiration.
but are deprived Of the opportunity.
Doctor Andrews, late of Brown Uni
versity, has undertaken the Presidency
of The Cosmopolitan's educational
movement. The work, thus begun, is
not intended TO take the place of re-
gular university work, but to supply a
gap in existing educational facilities.
Those who are really in search of know
ledge will find direction and aid. 1t
can do nothing for those who have not
the desire to study. An intending
student sends to The Cosmopolitan,
New York, his name, occupation,
previous course of study, studies de-
sired to be pursued, objects and pur-
pose for which course is designed, and
the number of hours. daily or weekly,
study which can be given No charges
Of any kind will be made to students.

Here is another one on Kansas. \
paper in that state speaking of the
drouth says: Hogs have to be soaked
over night before they will hold swill.
In a few places, the water is wet on but
one side, and at one town, the owner OF
a ferry has to haul water eleven months
of the year to keep his boat running
and one farmer has to run his well
through q clothes wringer every morn
ing to get water for cooking purposes.
Mexican workmen, who get less than
half what those of the United States
get, are having a hard time now that
they must take their pay in 4U-cent
dollars. The American carpenter gets
$3.50 per day in good 100-cent dollars,
while the Mexican carpenter gets 81. %
in coin worth 40 cents on the dollar.
The real value of the $1.25 which the
Mexican gets is just so cents, against
$3.50 which the American carpenter
gets.

Crop Condition.

The weather during the past week
has been characterized by a period OF
unusually high temperature. At Mil
waukee the temperature reached 80 .
OH Thursday, which is the highest tenn
perature recorded during the month OF
September since the establishment OF
the Weather Bureau in 1871. Other
points in the state report equally high
temperatures and at a few places the
temperature reached 1909. There was
practically no rainfall during the early
part. of the week and with the hot
weather and dry winds vegetation suf-
fered greatly; but with the approach OF
cooler weather refreshing showers &C.
Cured in nearly all portions Of the state.
The rains have been insufficient, how
ever, over the eastern and southeastern
counties, but elsewhere i'll the state, ex-
cept in a few scattered localities, the
soil is fairly we'll stored with moisture
The interest in the crop conditions now
centers almost entirely in corn and the
reports as to the effect of the hot
weather on this crop are somewhat con-
fiicting. Generally it may be said that
in those portions of the state where
there was fair amount of moisture in
the soil, corn was greatly benefited by
the high temperatures. This condition
includes more than two-thirds of the
state. In the southeastern counties
there has been a general lack of rain
during the past few weeks, and on that
account corn was injured to some extent
by the hot weather. The early plant.
ings and varieties are now generally
ripe and considerable cutting has beel
done in the southern and middle coun.
ties. The bulk of the crop will be out
of danger from frost in a week or ten
DAYS. Pastures suffered very greatly
from the hot weather, and many farm.
ers have found it necessary 10 begin
feeding stock. Potatoes are being har-
vested. The crop is generally light and
the quality inferior. Fall ploughing has
been retarded by the hard and dry
condition of the soil and but little win
ter grain has been sown. Rain is
needed, especially III the southeastern
portion of the state.

Uncle Richard Bland says the rise: in
wheat is due to scarcity, and that the
silver question has nothing to do with
it. Is it not possible, Uncle Richard,
if high prices are produced by scarcity
and have no relation to silver, that low
prices were due to Righteousness and
also had no relation to silver? It's a
poor rule that doesn't work both ways,
Uncle Richard. We all know that wheat
was plenty and the cost of producing it
much less than ever before.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment. pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires constitutional
trea -ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufacture
by f. J. Cheney Il Co., Toledo Ohio is the only

1t seems that NJ. Artaud in making this
