Our agricultural writer's have had
good deal to say of late regarding deep
blowing, and fall blowing, and the do
cussion will prove both interesting and
instructive to our farmer readers.
Al to fall blowing and spring ploH.
ing, exhaustive soil moisture tests o.
the Iowa Station showed, last yea
that spring plowed land contained Sl
average Of 16 per cent of moisture y
pounds In every 1907 fall pIowed sO'I
SUBSIDIZED land contained 49, per cent?
and fall plowed not SUBSIDIZED containe'
152, This was the average of the Whor
season. On July 10 the percentages
moisture were 154, 16 and 124 respe
lively thus showing that in a dry tID'
the spring plowed land held its mos
ure better than that plowed in the leu
but where the fall plowed land "~
SUBSIDIZED it retained its mois sure O@'
of all.

sUPT. sTRYK ER'S LECTURE.

Supt. Stryker's lecture last Satur
day evening should have been heard
by every teacher and school patron
in the county. His views of the pres
eat defects in the school system show
a thoughtful and discriminating stud :
of the subject. 1t is certainly time
for some one to demand a course of
study that is more in keeping with
the needs of the masses who attend
the public school.
The people should also realize how
impossible it is to secure anything
worthy the name of education, in the
great majority of district schools,
with a mere boy or girl teacher. In
other words Mr.. Stryker pleads for
more professional teachers, teachers
who are men and omen. But as this
is impossible with the present wages
he points out course which makes
it possible, that is, to concentrate the
school forces. Unite several adjacent
districts and transport the pupils.
patrons, figure On the pros and cons
of this proposition at least.
The suggestion that Kinsley could
cooperate with the county in estab-
fishing High School was a good
one. Kinsley could grant the use Of
one of her partially vacant buildings
and the county levy one half mill for
Expenses. This would provide a
much stronger school right here at
home, and stimulate a stronger educa-
tional spirit. 1t would give many q
boy and girl in Edwards county a
'hundred-fold better chance to make q
success of life. He gave an instance Of
this kind OF combination that is
wor ong successfully in Tn omas county
Ii another community can ml:e q
success of such an enterprise, why
cant we? It would certainly, co lnpare
with the creamery from the stand
point of good to the community.
First-class schools always have been
important factors in progress and al
ways will be. Let Us act on Mr..
Stryker's suggestion. **

WOMEN PRINTERS.
They Are Not as Well Paid IN Men I'm
England.


The occupation was opened to wom
en- in England by the late Emily Faith
full. when she started the Victoris
Press. Only a small proportion CT the
number of persons now engaged in
printing are women, and with few eX-
ceptions they are paid much lower
wages than are paid to mer. One rea-
son alleged for the exclusion Of women
from the trade is that they are not
I able to lift the ferns" and do rot un-
derstand. the work beyond simply set
ting up. At the Women's Printing So
ciety in London, which has been 20
years at work, and at a little printin G
Office started by one of the apprentices
trained Icy that society, who married
a printer, the girls are thoroughly
trained; they do book and newspaper
work, "jobbing," imposing" and max
ing up" everything, in short, but the
actual machining, which is a process
quite distinct from composing. But
most of the firms which employ women
do'not initiate them into anything be-
yond setting up, correcting and distrib-
uting. And then they say, "there
are certain parts of the work women
cannot do" The only thing women do
not do at &c Whitcomb street (the
Women's Printing society is lifting
the forms" Miss Hall comments:
when there are men on the premises
it is, of course, much wiser not to let
women do this work, though, as mat
ter of fact, the carrying of heavy coal
boxes and buffers trays full of crock
cry up and down long flights of stairs,
as hundreds of domestic servants do
every day of their lives, is scarcely less
heavy work, and is much more continu-
GUS"
The rapid increase of trade unionism
helps to keep women out of the trade.
The unions will not admit women I'M
less they receive the same pay as men,
and employers will not employ women
unless they will work cheaper than
men. In Scotland, the unions declare
that they have no objection to enroll
women as members if they are eligible,
that is, receive the same wages as the
men. They thus throw the onus on
the employers, or on the inability of
the women to induce employers to place
them on an equal footing with the
men, while masters, even of nonsociety
houses, not infrequently say that they
Are afraid to employ women, as the
men would object, and when a stress of
work came would fail them. Between
the two the women are placed in an
mpasse."
In Edinburgh about $50 women COM
positors are employed, a larger num-
per than in any other city or town
in the kingdom. They are paid less
han one-half of the wages paid to men.
)ne woman proofreader belongs to the
scottish Trade society, as she receives
he recognized wages. One woman also
has Joined the London Compositions So
.iety. She is the daughter of late
master printer, and was employed by
he late William Morris at the Kelm-
cott Press and received the same
wages as the men.-Emily Hall, in Lon

UNFORTUNATE YOUTH.
Claude Barnes, Who is ON Trial foE
q Murderous Assault.

Claude Barnes was placed on trial
yesterday before Judge Gaddis in De-
partment Three of the Superior Court
on charge of assault with deadly
weapon on an L-street woman named
Adele Lelrevile, whom he attempted to
kill with coupling-pin some time ago,
but neighbors prevented him.
Barnes is apparently less than ~
years of age. He had an epileptic tit
in the court room during the trial yes
terday, and he is subject to such at
lacks. He had one the night he as
saulted the woman, and has since
maintained that he has no recollec..
ton of attacking her. He says he did
not know her, had nothing against her,
and therefore had no motive in assault
ing her.
When a boy Barnes was kicked on
the head by horse, and there is now
a marked depression of the skull. He
is dangerous to be at large, and ought
to be operated on for the injury to his
skull
The trial will be concluded to-day.
J. C. March is defending Barnes.

THE BOND DECISION.
Topic of Discussion Yesterday
Suggestions Concerning It.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the city bond interest case, as published
in full in yesterdays "Record-Union,"
was the predominant topic of converse
ton among business men, manufact-
urers and taxpayers generally through
out the city yesterday.
The text of the opinions of the Su-
preme Justices-secured specially by the
Record Union for publication imme-
diately upon delivery, and Transcribed
by its order-was preceded by
an elaborate syllabus, rendering it
easy for all to quickly ascertain just
what was decided and wherein the JUS
tees differed concerning the issue, with
out reading the three opinions in full.
Otherwise it is improbable that the five
columns and upwards of text would
have been SO generally the subject of
street and Office debate as early as yes
terday morning.
The burden of expression among those
upon the street was that some way
should now be found to wipe out all
that remains of the old debt, and to
lower the rate of interest the obligations
are drawing. There was much talk con-
corning borrowing money, sufficient to
discharge all the Indebtedness, since
money can be now procured at = and 8
cents below the rate of interest the debt
