A FARMERS SENTIMENTS.

Alfred b. McNey, on behalf OF the
Cecil Farmers Club, said, in part:
In behalf OF the Cecil Farmers Club,
| wish to congratulate the young peo-
pie OF this community on having the
opportunity to attend the Calvert High
School. We also desire to publicly ex-
press our approval OF the action of the
School Board in establishing this
school and thank Captain Sylvester for
his most valuable assistance. We are
always proud to tell visitors about the
Brick Westinghouse and OF PENIS
grant with its many points of interest
in the history of Maryland. And we
are more than pleased to have the first
agricultural high school in MARYLAND
established on this good old historic
ground. AS a farmers club. we ask
the hearty cooperation of this COM
munity with the School Board, Prof.
Sampson and his able assistant in order
that the school may continue to be
success.
When we advocate the teaching OF
scientific agriculture in our rural
schools it is not selfish idea We be-
lieve that every child should receive
good general education. We do not
wish anything excluded from the child's
studies that would hinder it in pursuing
any vocation. 1t might be selfish if we
should demand our youth taught scien-
tifc agriculture alone; even then I could
not tell what would have to be elimin-
ated. For thorough knowledge of
agriculture embraces most, If not all,
the branches now taught Some ask:
Do you expect to make all farmers?
We answer by asking when you intro
duced physiology into the school did
you expect to make all doctors2 If
such reasoning is to determine what
our pupils are to study we would have
to go back to the three Rs of a century
ago.
manufacturers are not now prepared
to teach agriculture, and we do not
wish it introduced until they are That
is why we think we should have agricul-
tural high schools. 1t would be we'll for
our teachers and those preparing to
teach to take warning and prepare
themselves for the time is coming, and
there are those present today who will
see the time that all teachers will have
to be as familiar with how plants grow
and the scientific terms used in our
agricultural periodicals. bulletins and
by farm institute lecturers as they are
now with the terms used in the gram
mar and their school journals. With
the mcrican flag waving over our
schools and agriculture as part OF the
curriculum taught by competent in
structors, we who are advancing in
years can feel assured OF the future

Teachers Employment Bill Vetoed.

The bill which passed the leg
islature providing for a teachers
employment bureau as reported
in this paper last week, was later
vetoed by the Governor on the
ground that the teachers Of the
state are among the most intelli-
gent class of citizens and are
able to take care of themselves,
and furthuI, that every County
Superintendent and Norma a
School, as well as the Universi-
ty, is already acting as such
agency; that there is no ground
OF public policy upon which such
a law can rest, and that the
State should not undertake the
business of securing employment
for any class of citizens unless
some benefit recurs to the public
by such an undertaking.

If runners now floating about
the city have any foundation the
Chicago & North Western Rail
way company is making prepa-
rations to push its extension
from the town of Langlade north
at once. Nothing definite can
be learned from officials but a
mysterious sh roud surrounds
headquarters aud from informa-
tion gained here and there may
predict that active building is to
commence at once. The rumors
are to the effect that the North
Western company will build to
Kingston, Oconto county, and
then put large gang to work on
the northern branch. 1t is be-
lieved that the intention is to
push to Crandon or some other
point before the Wisconsin &
Northern gets its new road into
operation. The two lines will
run nearly parallel and compete
for business in that section and
the road officials may feel that
the line getting into commission
first will reap the larger portion
of traffic. Amigo Republican.

MEANINGS OF CALDER.
Either the Diameter OF "a Gun or Its
Length Divided by Diameter.

Either the Diameter OF "a Gun or Its
Length Divided by Diameter.
There is surely no word in the no.
menclature of guns, big and little,
which has caused and is causing so
much confusion in the lay mind as the
word caliber
The confusion arises chiefly from the
use of the term in an adjectival sense
to indicate length, as when we say a
80 caliber six inch gun.
The word caliber as applied to artil-
lery signifies essentially and at all
times the diameter of the bore of a
gun. A gun, then, Of six inch caliber
is gun whose bore is just six inches.
For convenience and because the
power of gun when once its bore has
been decided upon depends so greatly
upon its length, artillerists are in the
habit of defining the length of the gun
in terms of the caliber.
The six inch rapid fire gun, as mount
ed on the ships of the navy, is a trifle
under twenty-five feet in length and
is therefore known as a 90 caliber gun.
In the case Of small arms the caliber
is expressed in hundredths of an inch,
as when we say % caliber or 80 cali
ber pistol, meaning that the bore is
% or 80 of an inch in diameter.-Sci-
entiffc American.

The Last Word.

Having the last word" said naval
officer, reminds me of story heard
not long ago. A certain man died, and
a clergyman was engaged to offer a
eulogy. This worthy minister prepared
a sermon of exceeding length and
strength, but just before he entered the
parlor to deliver it he thought that it
might be advisable to learn what the
dead mans last words had been. So
he turned to one of the weeping young
er sons and asked:
My boy, can you tell me your fa-
theirs last words?'
:" He didn't have none the boy re-
piled. Ma was with him to the end.'"

The most privately conducted home
must communicate with increasing fire.
Quency with the world outside The
coal man, the ice man, the automobile
repair shop must be upbraided or ca

the rest of the house. one must speak
with the railway station, settle with
the eXpressman or deliberate with the
chauffeur or coachman, for none of
these things should disturb the tran

to all the activities of home it is
high time that space be devoted to this

The Young Member.

Grantley Berkeley tells in his Life
and Recollections" how a member for
Ludlow in the last parliament of Will
liam " ''tried to make maiden
speech, and, rising in his. place, with
a very bald head, known, too, as he
was to everybody as one of the oldest
stagers in all the ways of the world,
he began, with great affectation of in
experience and with an exceedingly
mild voice, Mr.. Speaker, am but a
young member On hearing this as
sertion from so well known and crafty
a man, possessing so venerable pate,
the entire house roared with laughter.
Twice he stopped, and three times he
commenced with these words, but it
was useless. The house would not
listen, and he never to my knowledge
essayed to speak again, or if he did the
sight of his bald head set his audi
ence in a roar"

A BRIDGE CURIOSITY.
Odd Structure In Mexico Built o.
Solid Mahogany.

Odd Structure In Mexico Built Of
Solid Mahogany.
As mahogany is among the most cost
ly woods in the world, it may we'll be
inferred that this tropical material is
not very extensively employed in the
construction of buildings, etc. A bridge
constructed of solid mahogany is GER
tainly a rarity, a curiosity. There is
one, claimed to be the only one in the
world, built of that material. This
structure is located in the department
of Palenque, state of Chiapas, republic
of Mexico. This district lies in the eX-
treme southwestern part of Mexico,
near the boundary line of Guatemala.
This mahogany bridge is constructed
entirely of that valuable wood except
some iron supports, braces and nails
that are necessary. The bridge spans
the Rio Michol, and its total length, in
cluding approaches, exceeds $50 feet
while the width is fifteen feet. 1t is
used by both teams and pedestrians,
and, although somewhat rude and
primitive in construction, it is very
substantial.
None of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed, for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta.
tions, and mahogany trees are quite
common. In clearing away the tropical
forests for setting out the young rub
Der trees the mahogany growths are
also cut down and removed. AS this
wood is quite abundant, some of it was
used in building the bridge American

La Fontaine, the famous fable poet,
was most absentminded man. Meet
ing one day in a saloon young man,
he was so favorably impressed by his
conversation that he expressed his ad-
miration for him in the most fiattering
terms. "But he is your own son!" ex-
claimed a guest in astonishment "Is
it so?" replied the poet. 'Then I am
the more delighted to make his ac-
quaintance."

Tobacco Smoke and Flowers.

4 remarkable effect of tobacco
smoke on the color of flowers may be
seen in the case of the field scabia
named bOtanically Knavtia arvensis,
so frequently on the hills and COM

purplish blue blossoms, which form
nearly globose heads, are held in the
smoke of tobacco, their color will soon

color as the leaves.-EXchange
