A School Picnic.

In the last number of the Michigan
Monthly Bulletin of Vital Statistic is
some interesting information relative
to divorces in Shiawassee county.
During the year 1902 there were 102
divorce suits started in this country.
Only seven counties In the state ex-
ceeded Shiawassee county: Kent
county had but a little more than
three times that, number of suits
started, and Wayne county with the
metropolitan city of Detroit had less
than seven times that number. Only
nine counties In the state granted
more divorces during 1902 than Shla-
wassee, where sixty.eight couples were
legally separated.
The same table Of statistics shows
that not one divorce was refused in
this county.
The total number OF divorce cases In
court during 1902, some having held
over from 1901, was 1874, exceeded by
only ten other counties In the state.

HORSE SALUTED PRESIDENT.
Wyoming Citizens Gave Him the
Animal.


North Platte, Neb., June 2.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is speeding homeward.
He left Cheyenne, Wyo., shortly after
noon Monday and made but one short
stop between that place and this.
The wild west exhibition in honor
Of President Roosevelt at Frontier
park Monday in Cheyenne was a big
success. The principal event was the
presentation to the president OF the
beautiful saddle gelding, Ragalona,
supplemented by a complete riding
outfit. The present was from the peo-
pie of Cheyenne and Douglas and was
rendered by Senator Warren. The
president responded in a happy vein,
saying the gelding was the best riding
animal he had ever been astride and
asking permission of the people Of the
state to re-christen the animal IVY
oming." The beautiful animal, at the
command of Senator Warren, fell on
its knees and saluted his new owner.

meeting at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Freeman. The guests and
members Of the club began to assemble
at about l p. m. and soon the house
was filed.
The meeting was called to order and
the gentlemen members responded To
the roll call by quotations. Mr..
willoughby and Mrs. Stiles rendered q
song and after the routine business
was finished the questions were taken
up.
"The possibilities of the Farmers
Club as an educator OF farmers along
practical and scientific lines" There
Is every possibility In the club for
education, but 1t depends on the
armer how much is done along that
line.
"Will narrowing wheat In spring pay
the farmer?" II the soil is run
together and the wheat has not been
lifted out by frost the narrowing
would be beneficial to the wheat, but
as most wheat Is raised for the pur.
pose Of getting . good catch Of grass,
1t would not be practicable to harrow
t as 1t would be too late to SOW grass
seed by the time the land is dry
enough to harrow.
"The use and abuse Of the whip on
the horse" 1t is always best to carry
awhip, for In some cases an accident
could be averted In no other way than
by the use Of the whip.
us the sheep shearing machine q
profitable Investment for q farmer
with large or small fiock?" A. Clapp
said he would not consider it profita-
BILE unless one had very large flock,
for the machine is quite expensive and
one can hire sheep sheared for seven
cents head.
"Why is the range better than the
common cook stove?" There seemed
to be difference Of opinion. Some
who have a range could see no i'm.
provement except there is more space
on the top and In the oven of range.
Others like the range better because
1t takes much less wood.
"Will cow peas and soy beans be
better than some of the feed for hogs
and cattle?" Canada peas and barley
would be a better substitute. Colon
@. Lille said in the Michigan Farmer
that soy beans could not be raised here
with profit as the season is too short.
Corn is the king of crops and most
farmers would not care to change.

Der. MIR. Chas. Freeman gave an in
teresting and instructive talk on the
subject.
Mrs. Place read an article on, "One
Dollar Wheat" in regard to bulle-
tin which is issued by the American
Society Equity. The farmers will be
urged not to sell for less than 81 and
arguments will be set forth to show
why that should be the minimum
price.

The Rockford fire and police board
has adopted a set of rules that might
be applied with good effect in all
other cities where no such provis-

ing standard was set for the police
officers prescribing that none less
than feet 10 inches in height can
serve as members of the force. The
weight limit is from 155 to l9S pounds.
and the age limit from % to b years.
The regulations governing the fire de

LOOKING FOR MEN
Big Railway Companies of East
Come West for Stenog-
raphers.
COLLEGE GRADUATES PREFERRED
Position Furnishes Training for
Those Who VIII Fiji
High Offices.

Requests are coming to Chicago
from the great railroad centers in
the east for young men to take posi-
tons as stenographers in the offices
of the roads. Young men are wanted
who have both the ambition and the
capacity to fill the important places
in the management of the roads in
the next 10 or 10 years. There is
dearth of this character of help in
the east. In Chicago, too, one official
said yesterday, this class of young
men can usually find places in the
offices.
There is decided preference for men
as stenographers in most railroad of
fees because of the policy being pur-
sued which makes this position the
avenue for promotion to responsible
places The mere stenCgraphic work
required is not more important than
that of other great modern business
concerns. The benefit of the position
i'll railroading comes from the famil-
iarity with the details of the intricate
Business of the transportation lines
which is required. Once having mas
tered these and having demonstrated
his qualities the young man who de
serves it is generally pushed forward.
Education Factor
The tendency toward the selection
of applicants who have had thor
ough education has been noted on the
western lines even when the start is
made at the lowest round of the lad
der. The Santa Fe has several col
\.
in its TOundhOuses. The same ten
dency is being exhibited in the selec-
ton of stenographers. The reason of
this preference in both eases is that
the railroad management is preparing
for the managers of the future, and
most of these high officials will come
from the ranks of the subordinates
Of today.

Mayor McConochie. making the total
81. This is seven less than were
granted last May and four less than
last November's total But three or
four saloons have not yet been heard

above. The license of William Curran
was recalled by Mayor McConochie
after its issuance by the clerk and
the money was refunded. The may

is actually better known that before,
the cause Of spontaneous radioactive.
ty remains as much of mystery as
ever, and this phenomenon is still an
enigma for us. Spontaneously active
substances, and, above all, radium,
are sources of energy. The amount Of
energy to which they give rise is re.

there is a constant disengagement Of
