Says Behring Was Premature.
DR.. Joseph Walsh, president of the
Pennsylvania Society For the Proven

turned from Paris, where he attended
the tuberculosis congress, asserts that
the announcement made by DR.. Beh-
ring at that time was premature and
without basis on fact. He said Behring
was only one Of twenty scientists
working along the same line, with an
immunizing serum as their goal. Of
that number he thought DR.. Leonard
Pierson Of Philadelphia had accom-
plished the most and that his expert
ments had developed further. He said
the discovery might be given to the
world within year by any of these
men or it might be delayed for several
years.

Pope Accepts French Separation.
After nearly two years Of silence
since the first breach occurred be-

Farming Lessons For Children.
In the state of Nebraska teachers in
the primary and secondary grades un-
der the new law are now required to
impart the rudiments Of agriculture to
pupils, explaining the constituents and
culture Of soil and harvesting of crops.
The aim is to instill into the minds of
the children love and respect for ag-
riculture in the hope that more Of them
will become farmers when they grow
up. In forty-two counties this year
competitive contests have been held
to induce boys and girls to study the
conditions and principles of plant
growth.
Western Colleges Booming.
The registration returns Of the lead
ing universities and colleges of the
west for the current year show that
the young men and women Of the west
ern cities are patronizing more largely
than heretofore the great institutions
of their own section instead of the big
and more venerable colleges of the
east. Both Harvard and Columbia
have had falling off in attendance,
Harvard being reduced to 1866 and
Columbia to 1926. The University of
Pennsylvania has made some gain and
now has an attendance of $3.50. Min
nesota has increased to 3,760, Michigan
to 1850, the Northwestern to about
1000, Chicago to $500, California to
$500, etc.
School For the Physically Weak.
In Prussia the school authorities are
planning to build school in the woods
near Berlin where children known to
be liable to tuberculosis will remain
throughout the day, having their meals
furnished free. They will receive two
or three hours Of instruction and will
spend the rest of the time in exercise
in the forest.

CEMENT BLOCK COTTAGE.

satisfactory but not too costly country
cottages in this day of high priced lum-
Der. 1t is claimed for the. concrete
block that it is now made practically
impervious to dampness, and where it
is cast upon the site local labor may be
employed.
There is, of course, nothing new in
the employment of concrete. 1t was
used by the Romans in the construc
ton of many of their largest works,
and it's economy and strength have
been recognized for years by our own
builders, but this adaptation of the
material to the erection Of cheap coun-
try cottages is still novel here, and it is
not at all surprising that it is begin
ming to excite much interest The IL
lustration shows neat cottage com
plete
Advocates Of this system Of building
urge it's substantial nature and great
cheapness. They claim that cement
building blocks can fairly be consider
ed freproof, and, being nonabsorbent,
a house built Of them would be much
drier than one with walls of brick, j
quality which must influence favorably
the health and comfort Of the occu-
pants; also, they say, owing to their
nonconductive properties a house built
Of cement blocks is cool in summer
and does not radiate the heat gener-
ated within in cold weather, and the
walls, which can be finished without
lath and plaster on their interior face,
afford no refuge for mice, certainly Il
considerable advantage
The Potato Crop.
From Orange Judd Farmers report
on - potato crop it appears that the
yieiu II the states of heavy production
is much smaller than last season and
the crop, as a whole, less than for
number of years. Wisconsin and
Michigan have been hardest hit by
blight and rot. Conditions farther
east are relatively more favorable.
New York has reasonably good crop
The quantity is short in Maine, but
the quality exceptionally fine. The
shortage is very largely in the north
west, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
having scant 6O,Oo0,oOO
bushels against 87,OOO,oo0 last year
Prices quoted the country over the
second week in October range from as
low as q cents per bushel to 10 cents.
The new crop is moving rapidly, yet
many growers show a disposition to
hold for better prices Potatoes of
fine quality are being very freely ship
ped out from the Aroostook (Me.) dis
trict at 40 to 50 cents. Sixty to 70
cents has been paid in Oneida coun-
ty. N. Y, where rot has reduced the
crop.

What Wilson Needs.

We are sorry for Secretary Wilson.
He has brought the department Of
agriculture from nothing, or nearly
nothing, up to rank as one OF the
most useful in the federal govern
ment. He has done good work in
many ways.
His genuine enthusiasm for his
chosen field Of labor has led him to
send agents into the most remote
parts OF the earth in quest Of seeds,
plants and even insects which might
promote the value and productive
ness of American agriculture. Since
he became the head of his depart
ment its work has added hundreds
of millions Of dollars 20 the value Of
products of the soil.
But James Wilson has shown that
he is poor executive. He ought to
remain in the cabinet for the sake
Of his excellent service to the coun-
try, past and prospective. But the
president ought to select for him a
coming Cortelyou, with first-class
administrative head, to be assistant
secretary of the department., whether
or not he knows anything about
agriculture or livestock.
With such assistance in the ex-
ecutive work of his office, there would
be no reason why Secretary Wilson
should not continue to make yalua-
Bile contributions to thsyss agri-
culturalinterests of the United States.

the large nostrils, which necessarily
must admit a large supply of air to
the respiratory system; large
mouth, with a good masticating ap-
paratus to supply the digestive or
gans; bright eyes; wide forehead,
indicating strong nervous center,
and large openings in the spinal
column, to admit number of large
nervous cords which lead to the di-
gestive organs and udder, are all
features that are necessary for econ
omic production of milk.
while it is generally advisable
to have COW of good size, it has,
however been found that size does
not enter in as factor of profitable
ness. Cows with strong nervous
systems and quite active are proba-
bly, the most efficient producers of
milk, if they are we'll cared for and
kept comfortable. A COW of this
nature reduces her flow of milk when
ill-treated more likely than she re-
spends to good treatment with an
increased flow. A COW with a strong,
nervous constitution, phlegmatic
temperament not excitable, although
not as efficient a milk-producer, is
probably the COW for the average
dairy. Discomfort or ill-treatment
apparently do not affect the milk
supply as much in COWS having
phlegmatic temperaments. The say
ing that a dairy COW for the dairy
man and a dual-purpose COW for the
dual-purpose man, is not inappro-
.priate. Homestead

have seen something of legal
practice on both sides of the Atlantic,
and my opi,i nj is that our profession
would gain immensely by combin-
ing the two branches, pretty much
as they are combined in the United
States and Canada. 1t is obvious
that the solicitors would profit by
such an agreement. They would
have the right of audience in all
courts and the opportunity to qualify
themselves for promotion to the
bench.
In America the young lawyer goes
into an office, where he makes his
merit known by steady attention to
business. There will always be two
kinds of lawyers-those who stay in
their offices, dealing directly with
clients and attending to matters of
routine, and those who advise on
points of law and argue cases in
court. These two orders of men are
clearly distinguished in America,
but they work together as partners,
to the great advantage Of the client.

Working Americans.

Morris, the artist, has defined Art as
the expression Of a mans highest Joy
in his work.
Ii that be a true definition Ameri-
cans are mostly artists; for they are
the greatest workers on earth, and
they find their greatest JOY in their
work.
Indeed, in this sense, in America
work is fine art-an expression Of
the highest satisfaction of the great.
est people in the world.
The most dismal set we have in this
country is the leisure class" Our
millionaire's wives drivel into inane-
ness trying to amuse themselves. and
of those Americans who seek to re-
tire from business a large part 60
to early graves and another large
part to sanitariums.
Europeans do not understand this.
They ask to see our "workingclasses. !"
They do not realize that everybody
that amounts to anything in this
country is worker of some sort. In
their country the worker is slave of
his task. He works only because
and when he must. In this country
men work because they find comfort
in their labors.
Put the average American in
Europe with plenty of money. He
amuses himself briefly. Then he
begins to banker for his favorite
field Of labor. He wants to get back
to his work because in that work he
finds his greatest happiness.
In Europe the man who works be-
longs to the lowest class" He is
looked down upon. In this country
the man who is looked down upon is
the lazy and the shirking man.
/ The difference?
1t is to be found in the genius Of
our government. The dignity o1
labor is fundamental with us.
| We find our sanity and our sal
vation in our work.
The Joy that's in us finds express
ion through it.

us. -Des Moines Daily News.

Wheat Crop in Wright.

The acreage of wheat in Wright
county is over a half more, possibly
nearly double, what it was last year,
remarked ID. w. Stewart, of the
Clarion Roller mills. "The quality
and yield will be good, fully as good
as last year. Farmers who raised
wheat last year made good money.
| call to mind several who got re-
turns of SIG to $40 per acre from
wheat two or three times as much
as their oats netted them. Many
farmers make a big mistake in the
handling Of their wheat. They
handle it the same as oats-thresh
it out of the shock-which is entirely
wrong. 1t should be stacked by all
means and allowed to go through
the sweat. Wheat threshed out Of
the shock and allowed to sweat in
the bin will not make good flour. 1t
seems to me farmers should plant
more of a variety of crops. 1t is
better for the soil and generally more
profitable. The price Of wheat will
start in at about so cents per bushel.
There will be some on the market in
a couple of weeks. Clarion Clip
