Some Naval Heroes.

special train bearing over three
hundred of Uncle Sans boys. mostly
apprentices in the navy, passed
through this city Thursday evening.
A stop for considerable length of
time was made in order to give the
boys time to get a good Thanksgiving
supper, and the Dinner House was
crowded to its greatest capacity. A
peculiar and impressive feature of
this part Of the naval department was
the extreme youth of large number
Of the boys, many of whom had enlist
ed without a definite knowledge of
the life that was before them. But
they are in the service and the only
thing to do is to live it out as best
the1 can ~ to desert which, it is said
many are doing, ali Hlvr,s tne route.
They had just landed in New 4Scfk
from cruise and are being hurried
across the continent to go out on
others, some to China, some to the
PHILIPPINES and some to other parts,
which will keep them from civilization
for a long time. No wonder some Of
the boys become discouraged and dis
heartened at the prospect before them.
All sections of the United States had
representatives among their number.
One of them was from the plains of
Rocks county, at Plainville and i'm
proved the opportunity to converse
with DR.. Pope concerning bis former
home. On departure he took from
his jacket a white braid and presented
it to the DR.. as a souvenir.
Our best wishes go with the boys.
Their long cruises around the world
will teach them much, especially re-
garding a love of home and native
land.

A COLLEGE nER0ER.
Lama Absorbed By CampbeIl.

Lane University which is located at
Lecompton, Kansas and conducted by
the Quilted Brethren church, has been
negotiating with Campbell University
at Holton, for some time, in order to
bring about union of the two 1nSti-
buttons. The decision uniting the
colleges was finally reached on the %
of November and the consummatiOn
of the deal will take place at the close
of the present school year.
The United Brethren people agree
to purchase the lease and property of
the present college faculty, and also
to raise a sum of $40, 600, as an endow-
ment, within the next five years. The
University buildings and campus will
be decided to the church without cost,
while the leasei and property cost it
SIG
Campbell University was founded
by A. G.. Campbell, a former resident
of Holton, who afterward became a
rich mine owner. 1t has been con-
Quoted for twenty years as a nonSec-
tartan institution and has been quite
successful. Campbell died within the
last year and bequeathed the Univer-
sity the sum Of 500, 900. The build
ings are valued at $4,000. These
with the $4,000 to be raised by the
church makes the Campbell college as
the new institution will be called, one
best endowed colleges in the state.

The thirteenth annual session OF
the North West teachers association
was held at Colby, Kansas, last Thurs
day and Friday. It. was one of the
most successful meetings ever held,
both in quality of work and entertain
ment and in attendance and finance.
Nearly $50 teachers enrolled and the
receipts were greatly in excess OF its
expenditures.
VIM. j. Bryan lectured Thursday
afternoon to the citizens upon the sub
ject pending problems. This was a
purely democratic political speech.
In the evening he lectured for the
teachers upon the subject "a Con-
quering Nation,.' dealing with the
philosophy of human conduct and the
basic principles of murality as applied
to individuals and nations rather than
politics. The armory in which these
meetings were held has seating Ca
pacity of 500 and was crowded each
time.
The annual declamatory contest was
held Friday evening. Miss Cerena
Moulton of Norton won first prize:
Mr. Edward Thompson. of Jewell
county won second prize; and Miss
TilIie Sproul of Phillips county won
third prize.
Mr.. Tadlock during his last term of
Office as superintendent presented a
flag to the association to be given each
year as a prize to the county having
| best attendance based on the mileage
of those present at each session. This
year Phillips county brings back the
| flag for the first time.
A large delegation OF Phillips county
people and teachers were in attend
ance. Norton was selected as the
place for the next meeting and Prof.
S. V. Mallory of Goodland was elected
President of the association.

The Presidents Message.

The presidents message, concise
but mprehenSive statement of the
presidents idea of the condition Of
our country and needed legislation
was read before both houses of con-
greSs Tuesday afternoon. It is an in
teresting literary production and
worthy Of careful study. Briefly sum-
married., the prominent points are:-
The prosperity of the country is IN
bounded. The industrial develop
ment Of must not be checked, but ex-
listing evils must be Sifted out by wise
regulations.
judiciouS national legislation. They
destroy them would produce great
harm to the body polite. Publicity
not tariff tinkering the remedy.
Regulation Of interstate commerce.
The power Of congress is absolute. A
secretary of commerce is urged.
The tariff. Is the secret of our ma
tional prosperity and must not be
tempered with in a general way.
When it reaches such a point that it
ceases TO be protective in nature, or
where gross inequalities appear, it can
be adjusted by reciprocity treaties.
Stability OF ecOnomic principles must
be first, and Slight inequalities should
be endured rather than to bring
about a change which would paralyze
business energies,
Monetary system. Would be IN
wise to attempt to reconstruct it at
present time. Money supply should
be automatic and convertible into
gold.

PhiIlipine Currency.

Representative Cooper, chairman of
the inSular committee Of the House
will present bill to the coming Sessi-
on of congress providing that the o.
S. gold dollar be made the standard of
PHILIPPINE currency. 1t also provides
for distinct PHILIPPINE silver coin, to
be known as the peso, of the exact
weight Of two.silver half dollars and
The same value as the French franc
piece which is to be a legal tender.
The amount Of silver will be regulated
by the government. There will not
be free coinage. The value of the
peso in gold is to be so cents.
Legislation regarding the PHILIPPINE
currency seems imperative. Losses
from the fluctuation in exchange rates
have been great. The present Philli-
pine monetary system seems perilous
to business enterprises. George Taft
favors a gold standard, as does also
Vice Governor Wright who has lately
returned from Manila.
A bill providing for the gold stand
ard as we have it in the United States
was presented to the last congress but
dropped in order to break a deadlock
between the House and Senate. The
Hong Kong bankers wanted free coin
age and Senator Allison who was
chairman OF a subcommittee in the
Senate impressed by their arguments
reported in favor of it thus bringing
about deadlock and stopping legiSla-
tiOn at that time.

where Good Horses Are Scarce.

Those States which have rolling
lands, with large amounts of limestone
in their soils, with short. sweet grasses
and pure water, are he ones which
have led in the production of high class
horses. The Morgan family was a
natural product of Vermont, and the
sound feet, clean bone and excellent
lungs Were the sure result of the nat
ural conditions under which this FAM
lily of the horse were raised. 1t re-
quired good feet to travel over the
hard, stony soil. and good lungs to
travel all day up and down those steep
hills. These conditions eliminated all
animals of too great weight, with soft
bone or poor feet, and by the law OF
natural selection they became extinct
In that State through discrimination
against them in breeding and eXporta-
ton
1t is the same with the American
trotter and thoroughbred. New York
and Kentucky have been recognized as
the natural home Of the trotter, and
Kentucky and Tennessee as that of the
thoroughbred. Natural conditions had
more to do with this than the enter
prise of breeders, for as much enter
prise can be found among breeders in
other States. We should never select
horses raised on the fat lowlands of H.
linois, even if they had a greater
growth and weight than those raised
under the conditions referred to above.
Horses raised on corn land in the
prairie States, and fed largely on corn.

usual food.-Michigan Farmer.

Every farmer should have a conven-
lent workshop as measure of econ
omy, and the winter is the time to
work in it,
1t is hardly to be expected that the
plows. wagons, harrows, forks, shovels.
and other farm tools have passed the
summer and fall without breakage of
greater or less degree, and now is the
most opportune time for repairing
them.
A workshop should be supplied with
all OF the most necessary tools in the
use OF which some one or more of the
"men folks" will be somewhat skilled.
Next to having the tools and knowing
how TO use them, is their being well
arranged-a place for everything and
everything in its place-so that no time
need be lost in looking for them.
Especially in the busy summer sea-
son time is money. and a marked saw
ing in both will be made il the tools
are in order and in their proper places.
1t is poor economy to have to run
to the shop, one, two, or three miles
away, when an axe helve is to be set
in. or rake wants new tooth

Material For Manure.

There Is always Il large amount of
coarse material in the barnyard that
has little or no plant food in 1t. espe
cially If it has been exposed. Such
manure Is not worth taking to tho
fields, and il tpraed under it will make

bulk, but also TO use it rs absorbent
matter for fresh manure.
Personal interest. OF course, has becn
factor in all this, but genius and COM
mendable desire for betterment and the
accomplishment of good IN the world
have been great factors in this won

lean manufacturers lead the world in
these great economic strides, and the
demand abroad for their products, con-
stantly increasing yeriies this claim
for their skill and ingenuity. No other
country in the world has been able

plenty of glass, but that glass kept

at the annual meeting of the On.
tario Beekeepers Association, at Wood
stock, Ont, Professor Harrison, of the
Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph,
described Il new and simple method of
destroying the germs of foul brood
He placed combs containing larvae
dead from this disease, capped cells of
brood. and cells Of honey, in a box
which was air tight except for n small
hole at top and bottom. Then a small
alcohol lamp was arranged with the
reservoir at the top containing for
malin, and connected by rubber tube
with the bottom of the box. This con-
veys to the box the formalin vapor pro-
duced by the heat of the lamp. When
the box is so completely filed with
the formalin that the gas issues freely
from the hole in the top, both holes
are tightly closed for one hour. Pro-
fessor Harrison has been unable to
obtain any signs of life from foul
brood germs treated in this apparatus.
