COLLEGE BOYS IN DEMAND.
Why Kansas Farmers Prefer Them
Over All Other Harvesters.

Why Kansas Farmers Prefer Them
Over All Other Harvesters.
The college man is much in demand
In the Kansas harvest fields this year,
says a Topeka correspondent of tho
Kansas City Star. From the reports
that are coming in to the Office Of 7. B.
Gerow Of the free employment bureau
the college man is given the preference
over all other harvesters. There are
now more than 800 college men work
ing in the harvest fields, and more are
coming. Mr.. Gerow received letter
the other morning from Ellwood c..
Zook of Columbia, Mo-, asking for in
formation as to where a party Of twen-
T University Of Missouri students
should go for work. The young men
were instructed to leave Columbia at
once and to report to the Kansas City
agent the next day for certificates and
instructions.
'The Kansas farmer who is up to
date gets hold of these college men,"
said Mr.. Gerow. "Those young fellows
know all the latest slang and gossip
and etiquette and such things, and
without knowing it they teach these
things to the farmers sons and daugh-
tiers. They know lot Of good stories
and most of them have some accom-
plishment that helps to pass the even,
ings and Sundays. The college men are
too young to get tired and are accus-
toned to late hours, so that they make
things entertaining for the farmer and
his family while they are at work
Most of the young fellows are in ear
nest and work hard even If they have
never seen a wheatfield and don't
know pitchfork from header barge.
Let the college men come, and I will
see that every one has job for the
whole summer"

DRESSING THE NECK.
An Important Factor In Improving
q W0man's Appearance.

An Important Factor In Improving
u Woman's Appearance.
Few women realize how much their
appearance depends on the way they
dress their neck. Women with short
necks bundle themselves up until they
look as il they had chronic sore threats,
while girl with neck like q giraffe
wears little rundown collar.
Let her who has the long neck wear
all the high, soft adornments she can
get together. With an evening gown
she need not be afraid to put a band
Of ribbon under her necklace, and she
will look all the better.
In the daytime medium necked won.
en- should never wear collar that con-
fines the neck too much, in the even
Ing the least adornment possible, and
II she be fortunate enough to have a
pretty neck and throat she is much bet
ter without any jewels. If she must
wear some, let them be a string Of
pearls or necklace Of solitaire dia-
Ynonds.
The thin necked, scrawny women are
the ones than can drape themselves
with the old fashioned necklace with
pendants. A dress cut open at the
throat is always much more dressy
and even for old ladies is becomingly
pretty. But their necks must be thor
oughly covered with folds of net or
soft tulle. Nothing is ever prettier for
old ladies' wear than the kerchiefs
which consist of a square or net folded
and put under the gown. - Woman's

A Man Would Transport Tables
That Yowl o. Nights In Chicago.
There is a man in Chicago who is
trying to work up scheme for max
ing money out of cats, says the Chicago
News.
"There are $4,000 stray cats in Chica.
CO." he says, shat are of no benefit to
any one. They make night hideous.
They scratch and bite small children.
They are hated and pelted with coal
and bootjacks. can rid Chicago of a
nuisance and make money out of
them"
He has $1,000 He is looking for a
man with more capital and good
head for managing a cat island. His
scheme is this:
Up In the northern part of Lake
Michigan Is a little island four miles
long and one mile wide. He proposes
to erect there extensive sheds. There
is plenty Of vegetation, and there are
no animal inhabitants. When the build
ings are up he will have cat catchers
go to work in Chicago and capture the
$4,000 cats. Their pelts are worth Is
cents each.
He will put them on the island and
buy up dead horses and old meat from
the stockyards and have 1t dumped
there from time to time. The cats will
be left for four years, eating this food
and growing wild. This will make
their fur more valuable.
Then cat abattoir will be created.
They will have propagated and multi
piled, and $4,000 cats can be killed
year, their skins worth from Is to Is
cents each, netting the proprietors of
this unique industry $40, 900 year.

INVENTIVE INGENUITY.

Two German mechanics are said
to have invented an electric device for
changing hymn numbers In churches.
Baron Won Welsbach, discoverer OF
the incandescent mantle, has invented
a device by which when the gas tip is
turned on a shower of brilliant sparks
lights the gas.
1t Is announced that a Lancashire,
England. merchant has invented ma
chine which will sew direct from two
reels of thread, thus obviating the
winding of spools and threading of
shuttles.
A new process for publication of
sugar-beet Juice, by means of hydro
sulphuric acid, is announced by Con-
sui Ledoux, of Prague. The Bohemian
inventors have obtained patents in
Austria and Germany.
Clocks are now being made which
speak the hours, instead Of striking
them, through an ingenious applica
ton of the monograph. They are ar
ranged to call out in various degrees
of meditation, some loud enough to
rouse the soundest sleeper.
Still another chemist is in the field
with an artificial gutta-percha. Herr
Gentsch, of Vienna, has produced an
artificial gutta-percha from mixture
of caoutchoue and palm rosin; It is
asserted that it's elastic resistance is
superior to that of the nature products
but that it consolidates less easily and
is more glutinous, while its cost would
be only two-thirds of that of the ma
tural product.
David c. st. Charles, an engineer Of
San Francisco, has invented a repeater
which will make it possible to tel
ephone clear across the continent.
What the so-called repeater" has
done for telegraphy st. Charles inven-
ton, it is now claimed, has done for
the telephone. The combining of the
echo in nature with the sounding
board of a violin furnished the clew
to the discovery.
One of the Berlin papers tells of a
new device for catching behring's. A
German inventor places a microphone
in a metal box perfectly watertight
and plunges it into the sea in order to
ascertain If the fish are passing that
way A wire connects the submerged
microphone (Which greatly increases
the volume of small sounds) to an or
binary receiver, with which one lis
tens to what is going on in the depths
of the sea. Excellent results have been
obtained in the North sea by the in
vention- for signaling the passing of
the herring shoals.

TELEPHONE TIDINGS.

Glasgow corporation owns a tele.
phone system covering 143 square
miles.
The charge for FIVE minutes con-
versation between London and Brus-
sells is four shillings.
Guernsey was the first place to have
a municipally-owned telephone service
IN the United Kingdom.
The first submarine telephone line
was opened on April l. 1891. 1t con-
nected London with Paris.
The London telephone area, which
covers 600 square miles, is the largest
local exchange era in the world.
London Wall exchange contains $500
direct telephone lines for subscribers.
They are worked by 80 operators.
There are 60 national telephone ex-
changes in the metropolitan area, and
a dozen belonging to the post office.
Three hundred people telephone
daily from London to Paris, each pay
ing eight shillings for the privilege.
The post office telephone plant in
London has a capacity for 10000 sub
scribers, but in 1904 only 1922 used
the service.
To speak for three minutes from
London to Inverness cost five shillings
sixpence, and from London to Cork
six shillings sixpence.

ANTHRACITE PRODUCTION.
The Tonnage Last Year Was Larg-
est in the History of the
Industry.

According to a preliminary report
on the production of anthracite in
1905, made public by the United
States geological survey to-day, the
tonnage curing that year was the
largest in the history of the industry.
The official explanation of this is that
it partly is due to the experience of
the trade in the preceding severe
winters and partly by the fear of i'm
pending trouble in the anthracite re-
gion. which caused both dealers and
consumers to lay in heavier stocks.
In 1905 the production of anthracite
amounted to 69,339,152 long tons,
value $141 $4,000. The average price
of anthracite per ton was 1925, the
average number of men employed in
the mines was 1854 and the aver
age days worked 215.
An increase in the shipment of the
smaller sizes of coal is noted.
The disastrous effect of strikes on
the trade is shown in the record for
1902, when the production of anthra-
cite was only 39,940,710 long tons,
worth S76,173,5S6. The average price
of coal per ton in that year was S2.35,
the average number of men employed
was 1914, and the average num-
Der of days worked was only 116.

SCRAPS OF HISTORY.

The Roman characters were first
used in types in Rome in 1857.
The last sovereign to abdicate was
King Milan of Servia. He relinquished
the crown in 1889.
The last slaves under English-speak.
ing people were United States negroes,
set free IN 1865.
False teeth of ivory. on plates of the
same material, and held in place by
gold wires, were in use in the year
1000 B. c.
During the past three centuries more
than 200 different systems of short
hand have been devised. Pitman's was
first published in 1910.
The first standing army of modern
times was established by Charles VII.
OF France in 1445. In England the
first standing army was organized in
1898.
The first attempt at stereotyping in
America was made in ITS by Benja-
min Mecom, printer at Philadelphia
Previous to this time the Dutch had
stereotyped a prayer book In 1771. The
first printing press in America was es-
tablished in 1889 at Cambridge, Mass.
Earlier than any known paintings,
some tapestry discovered recently at
Deir-el-Bahari, near Thebes. is among
the oldest specimens of human art ex-
tant. with the exception of the pre-
historic drawings on the bones Of ex-
tinct animals by the river drift men,
which, of course. are incomparably
older. But these paintings represent
the period in which the art of Egypt
was at its zenith. the eighteenth
dynasty, and consequently date back
about $500 years.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT.
The Grange and the Public school
should Cooperate.


school commissioner who has had
large experience and is recognized as
one of the best in the state paid the
grange this high compliment recently
in a public address: II always like to
hear that the school district has elect
ed member of the grange to the posi-
ton of trustee. for l am then reason
ably sure the trustee will take some
interest in maintaining a good school
and keeping the school property and
equipment in the best possible condi-
ton The grange advocates education,
and its members promote it,"
Let us strive to live up to that opinion
of a man outside the gates. The closer
and more intimately the grange can be
identified with the school system Of
our state the better 1t will be for the
grange and the schools. The schools
are not merely the educational centers
of our rural communities. They are
the factories of American citizenship.
When we consider the percentage of IL
literacy In the rural districts of New
York to be greater than it is in the
cities we must realize the Importance
of improving the rural schools and en-
forcing the compulsory education law.
1t is not to the credit of New York that
eighteen other states have n lower per-
centage of illiteracy than we have, and
the responsibility Of changing this, so
that New York shall have the lowest
percentage of illiterate citizens in its
country districts, rests upon the
grange. Let us rise to the emergency
and prove that the grange Is in reality
an educational force In country life

VESSEL DELAYED BY SHARKS
For Twenty Days Sailors Saw Moth

About Them.

When a ship is brought to a standstill
for "a hours by school o. sharks that
extends in all dill ectiJns TO the horizon
and when the vessel sails Tor the next
20 days amid nothing but sharks it is
said by old salts that it promises to be
good season for fishing, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer.
This is the story brought to Philadel-
phia by the captain of the American
ship Babcock, from San Francisco, with
a cargo of scrap iron. In fact, the cap
tain hints at a tragedy, for, according
to his story, the myriad of sharks left
him in pursuit of another vessel.
The Babcock sailed from San Franc G.
co November "a. When in latitude 5.25
north, longitude 20 west on December
10, the crew became worried at the
scores of sharks which began following
the vessel. During the night the ere W
heard an awful splashing about the ship
and with the morning light came the
revelation that the ocean as far as the
eye could see was covered wi h sh0rls.
The breeze fell off and what remained
was net sufficient to send the vessel
through the mass of fish. A strong wind
came after the vesse; had been stranded

ARIZONA'S FROZEN FOREST
Theory Which May Account for the
Wonderful Petrefac-
tions.

In the long forgotten ages, perhaps
before primeval man set foot upon the
sands of earth, forests were growing in
Arizona, just as in some parts they are
growing to-day, says o. j. Muhlbacker,
in the Arizona Magazine. But, by pre-
sumably volcanic action upon the
earths crust, they were laid PROSTATE,
and over them swept the seething, rush
ing waters of an immense inland sea-
Again, this region, sunk below the sea
level, was upheaved so high the mighty
waters found no footing. Again par
tial depression made it a vast reposi-
tory of rivers that drained the high
levels, and these great trees were buried
deep beneath the sand and silt, which
time hardened to rock But the up
heavel of ages after reversed this
process, and the outgoing waters in
their maddened rush constantly bore
away this earthen covering, returning
to the world the long buried forests of
the ancient ages. But 10! the sybaritic
chemistry of nature, the alchemy of the
ages, had transformed them into
crystals of hardest stone, sparkling in
variegated color tints. Thus. to-day, the
"Petrified Forest" is one of the wonders
of Arizona.
