John ri. Stahl Predicts Employ
ment Of Girls as Farm Hands.
The Up-to- Date AgrIculturist Dem, nds APP
plication and Dexterity anE Most Farm
Work Is Easy as Operating
Typewrtrer.

Macon, Ga, Oct. 11.-John NJ. Stahl,
OF Chicago, at the Farmers National
congress, Friday, spoke of ''the
labor problem from the farmers
standpoint" He said n-part. Zone of
the most annoying, difficult and vital
problems of farming is to get suf-
fcient supply of good labor. Farm
ers could hardly pay higher wages.
But to a very small degree is a ques-
ton Of more wages. The loneliness
of farm life that has been so pow
erful in taking farmer boys from the
: farm and in keeping city laborers
from it is fast passing away before
rural free delivery, the farm tele-
phone and the country trolley line.
If by the education and a proper APP
probation of our calling the intro
auction of business methods, we put
farming on the same plane as other
business enterprises, we can COM
mand for it our rightful share of
the faithful, intelligent labor that
now goes to railroading, manufac-
turing and merchandising. This will
come to pass all the sooner, be-
cause the future will see many wo-
men farmers. It is already fashion
able for girls to be strong and mus
eular and athletic and sunburned. In
teamwork so much machinery is used
nowadays that the greater part of
teamwork on the up-to-date farm
requires intelligence and dexterity
and application rather than muscular
strength. Very much of farm work
Is no more firing on the muscles
shan operating a typewriter; it is
much less wearing on the nervous
system, and it is certainly much more
healthful. Woman has taken mans
place to a large extent in the school
room, the store, the Office, even the
pulpit and the courts; why not on
the farm? The past harvest quite a
aumber Of women worked in the
fields and liked it. There are now
some very successful women farm
ers. The farmer may much indeed
prefer seeing hisdaughter helping him
al the field, operating the mower or
the harvester or hayrake or corn
planter than tempting fate amid the
artificial, unwholesome and danger
Gus conditions of the city.

BANDITS MAKE RICH HAUL.
a Burlington Train Was .sHeId Up' Neal
Lincoln. Neb., by Three Experts In
the Business.

Lincoln, NeD., Oct. 1S.-Three
masked men held up Burlington train
No. Il, the Pacific coast express,
four miles out of Lincoln, shortly
| before two O'Clock Saturday morning.
They used explosives on the express
car, shattering it badly and after
wrecking the safe rifed it of its con-
tents, securing an amount thought
to be $4,000.
Train Al reaches Lincoln at 1855
| a. m, and leaves for the northwest
fen minutes later. It was a few min
'IteS late this morning and was in
charge of Conductor C. A. Lyman and
Engineer A. L. Clayburg. On the
crest of hill midway between the
city and the town of Woodlawn, the
engineer saw red light waved across
the track and brought the train to
standstil1. Two men sprang quickly
into the cab, covering Clayburg and
his fireman with revolyers. They lost
no time in giving their orders and
were just as promptly obeyed. The
express car was cut from the balance
of the train and run ahead a short
distance. They found the door locked
and after commanding Messenger
VlludIn LuptOn 10 open III anu 2eC-
ting no response, fired two or three
shots into the car. The door was
then opened. A heavy charge of dy-
Mantle on the safe literally tore it
to pieces. Fourteen packages said
to contain $4,000 each were taken, to-
gether with other va1uables. The
two men who were in the car polite
ly babe the trainmen good morning,
jumped from the car and disappeared
in the darkness. The passengers
were not molested nor were the
trainmen asked for their belongings.
Two Suspects Under Arrest
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1.-two of the
alleged bandits who 'he1d up" Bur
lington train near here Saturday
morning and got $4,000 in booty are
under arrest. j. III. Murray was ar
rested at Louisville, Neb. He was in
Lincoln Friday night and returned
Saturday to his home, accompanied
by a man who resembles the man
who pointed a revolver at the engi-
neer during the robbery. Murray
himself partly answers to the de-
scription given by the trainmen.

RIVAL CHOCTAw GOVERNORS
At Tuskahoma the Partisans of T. W. Hun
ter and Green McCurtain Are Con-
tending for Supremacy,

Tuskahoma, I. T.. Oct. 12.-Since
Monday there has been a struggle
between two factions in the Choctaw
nation at the tribal council in Tuska-
homa. The legislature was to have
met Monday and the new governor
sworn in. The unofficial returns
from the recent tribal elections
showed a majority for Green McCur-
tain for governor, although the leg
islature was about equally divided be-
tween McCurtain and his rival for
the governorship, T. w. Hunter. Gov.
Dukes, the present incumbent, is a
bitter anti-McCurtain man. Before
the legislature was to convene he
took charge of the capitol and with
his light horsemen has since con-
trolled the building. The Hunter men
organized themselves and proceed
ed to declare Hunter governor. The
McCurtain followers did likewise and
seated their man. The dual govern
ments have now existed two days but
no trouble has ensued.

BIBLE NOT INFALLIBLE7
Delegates to the English Church Cungress
Take Sensational stand as to Interpre-
tation of the Scriptures.

London, Oct. 12.-The English
Church congress, following so closely
on the death of John Kensit, the
anti-ritualist crusader, and all the
bitter feelings which that somewhat
tragic event accentuated, could scarce
ly have been expected to be a peace
conference and to the normal dis
agreements which exist between the
high and low sections of the church
an unexpected bone of discord has
been added. This consists in an out
spoken criticism of the Bibles infalli
bility. The discussion consisted of an
eloquent plea from well-known per.
sons for rational teaching of the Bi.
bic to children, so that when they
grow up they will not discard the
inner meaning of oriental imagery as
they did the tales of ''Santa Claus
DIR. Wordsworth, bishop of Sails
bury, and Rev. Alexander Kirknat
rick Regius, professor of Hebrew "a
Cambridge, boldly declared they mus
not regard all parts of the Bible a:
being equally infallible. Rev. Edgar
Gibson, chaplain in ordinary to the
king, compared the Bible to Shakes
peare's mythical character of Mac
beth, "around which Shakespeare
built great human document" So
other writer's, he asserted, took W
certain tabled incidents and built
around them the great truths which
made religion what it is. The clergy
was wrong in going to teaching the
Bible in the old way. The church had
nothing to fear but had much to
gain from the new criticism

The ResourcefuT Lawyers.

At Wellington, Henry Lowery was
convicted of murder in the second
degree on the charge that he had ad-
ministered morphine to his baby.
Now his lawyers ask for new trial
on the groud that one who admin
listers poison and causes death can
not rightly be convicted of anything
less than murder in the first degree,
as it possesses the essential element
of generalization. And, having proved
that their client is guilty of higher
degree of crime than the one of which
he was convicted, the lawyers will
next try to prove that he was guilty
of no crime at all.-Kansas City Jour

harvested are marketable. The yield
On some fields is $50 bushels to the
