The remedy IS simple and easily
applied. Any farmer can, by the
expenditure of very small amount

manner that will insure his crop
against an attack of this fungus.
lie needs Tor this operation four
things: Blue stone or copper sui

some large vessels which Will hold

place to spread his wheat out to
dry when he is through treating it.
The operation is as follows: One
pound sulphate is dissolved in 81
gallons of water. The seed is soak
ed in this solution for IL hours.
after which the liquid is drained off
and the seed is again soaked for ten
minutes in lime water made by
stacking one pound of lime IN ten

subject was "The Strength and Weak.
ness Of Socialism"
Prof. Orth has devoted much tImo
to the study Of this, aud kindred sub.
jects, and his lecture was followed
with close attention. The Professor
possesses the faculty Of making q
dry subject sparkle with wit, and

tion Of topic. -
While Socialism may contain some
elements Of strength and soldity, Prof.
orth believes its precepts to be imprac.
teal. and that a society founded upon
its principles would not be crowned
with success.
Several of the theories Of Socialism
were exploded by the speaker, and the
socialist, he said, mstook the motive
of society.
At the close of Prof. Orths lecture
lively discussion Of the topic was
inaugurated. 1t was participated IL

An article, recently published in a

In fact, we can and very little effect

hard frost that Saturday evening,
when mercury dropped to 80. at 10 o.
clock and was going down. When 1t
was at ~ at q O'clock Sunday am,
and the cold wind still blowing hard
from the northwest, we feared hard
er frost next morning and in the after
noon many guests gladly assisted in
picking oranges, but fortunately that
evening a change came and the threat
ened calamity passed. During Sunday
afternoon much sympathy was shown
DR.. and Mrs. Inman, who have large
interests here. Some twenty boxes
were picked then and more since and
plenty now on the trees for the guests.
One farmer near here has shipped $40
boxes Of grape fruit this winter, an
other 12S, and each many boxes Of or

Participated In a Sleigh

College Professor Also Was
Dismissed.
It Was Only a College Prank, But
Resulted DisastrousIy.

According to the Chicago Inter-Ocean
an Akron Young lady, attending col.
lege at Wheaton, ILL.,, has been sus-
pended for participating in a school
girl prank.
A Columbus young lady attending
college at Wheaton, ILL.,, is just now
undergoing discipline for participating
in school girl prank. Miss Mabelle
Minton is the Columbus young lady re-
ferred to.
According to the story published In
the Inter Ocean, she and two other
school girls slipped out of the college
dormitory Que snowy evening last
week and indulged in a sleigh ride
with three young men, one Of whom
was a professor in the school and the
other two were students. This, 1t
| seems, was heinous offense in the
eyes Of the grave professors.
It seems that the sleigh in which the
professor and his lady were riding was
overturned and the horse ran back to
his barn. y t
The professor was Prof. Frederick
Preston, Of the business department.
The rest of tho party were: Frank
Coon, Of Hastings, Neb.; A. Guild, of
Wheaton,; Miss Evapgeline Frederick
Of Cairo, ILL.,; Miss Mabelle Minton Of
Columbus. O.; and Miss Eva Cuneo, Of
Akron, o.
The pertinent part of the Inter Ocean
story is as follows: ~
They had driven as far as Glen FL
lyn and had turned back and were
homeward bound. They had not gone
a quarter of mile when Professor
Preston's cutter struck something in
the road and dumped him and Miss
Minton into six feet of snow, While the
horse gave bound and never Stacked
his speed until he reached his barn.
The result was that the other two cut
ters had three passengers each on the
return trip and the hilarity was dou.
bled. .'
! How the young women got out Of
the dormitory with their best clothes
and furs without being seen, and how
they got back again without discovery
constitute the mystery Of tho case. 1t
is supposed there was deep-laid plot
on the part Of several people back Of
it all and President Blanchard is CIV
ing 1t his careful consideration.
But this little piece Of fun which
the Wheaton people think ought not to
have been noticed, created an immense
commotion in the cabinet. A great
court-martial, as it were, was called
yesterday morning, and all six of the
moonshiners were summoned to at
tend.
They confessed everything except
how the girls got out. The irate facul-
ty did not take moment to agree on
a verdict. Prof. Preston, it decreed,
must resign at once, and he did. Mr..
Guild and Misses Frederick and Min
ton were put on probation, which
means that il they ever crook finger
after this they will be expelled. But
Mr.. Coon and Miss Cuneo were indeti-
nitely suspended
