over a good joke the windows rattle
In the White House across the way.


A movement that will be of the
greatest value to the public school sys-
tenn of the United States is to be or
ganized in the George washington uni
versity. 1t Will be known as the d.
vision OF education and it is intended
to At students for higher positions In
the public school service; to aid IN
raising the standards of educational
practice and to increase the efficiency
of public education. The founding OF
such a department here in the capital
is especially happy, for the students
will have the privilege of free access
to the library and archives of the bu-
reau of education for the purpose or
systematic study and research. The
establishment OF such division in the
institution is in keeping with the ef-
forts being made by the George WASH
ington university to enlarge its scope
of work and take the place 1t be-
lieves is its due as the great national
institution of learning. The request
made by the trustees of the institu-
ton to the great American public for
subscriptions to an endowment fund
Is meeting already with some response,
which the friends of the Institution
think will be much greater once the
patriotic character of the plan is more
fully understood. The movement has
the greatest encouragement from Presi-.
dent Roosevelt, Vice President Fair
banks, Speaker Cannon and scores OF
other officials high in the administra-
ton and public service.
President Roosevelt is thoroughly
wrought up over the Public Lands con-
vention, which is to be held in Denver
beginning June IS by authority of the
Colorado legislature. Action hostile to
the presidents policies regarding pub
lie lands and forests Is regarded as
probable, as Mr.. Roosevelt has no in
tention Of letting his interests be jeop-
ardized without putting UP some kind
of a fight. For this reason he is send
ing out Secretaries Wilson and Gar
field, Commissioner of Public Lands
Ballinger, Chief Forester Pinchot and
Director Newell of the reclamation
service. These men will start for Dem
yer within few days, and the trip Is
the result of lengthy night confer
ence between the president and the two
members of his cabinet, which was
held in the White House this week..

Chicken PIriOiners Busy.

Within the last week or two farmers
short distance east and southeast of
this city have had their hen roosts WIS.,
tied by human night providers who
carry off fowls, old and young, by the
score. One farmer had at least fifty
taken in a night. Another farmer, up
on being awakened by his dog barking,
rushed out with gun in hand, and hear
ing parties making their retreat through
some brush near his barnyard, dis
charged several shot in that direction.
Soon thereafter he heard wagon go
ing at merry clip.
In some instances the chicken are
killed on the premises, the proof of
which is the finding of the heads and a
portion of the necks, the heads being
forced into the ground where it is soft
enough to yield. This indicates the
method of killing to be that of taking
the fowl by the feet and placing its
head under the heel, then pulling til
the neck yields. Cruel yet possibly
not in the minds of the thieves.

Lands .SeHEduCatiOn,

President Van Hise of our State Uni.
versity in addressing the under-class
men, in the first convocation of the
year, said in part:
cit can certainly be predicted that
twenty-five years hence, larger per.
centage of those students who are now
waiting on tables and tending to fur
naces, in order to obtain a college edu-
cation, will occupy higher positions OF
dignity and trust than those who con-
slider themselves the aristocracy of the
university. The necessity of gaining
a livelihood while pursuing a college
course developes the energy and re-
sourcefulness necessary to success in
life.
while the more fortunate, financi-
ally, are more conspicuous, the less
conspicuous, nine-tenths of the stu
dents, are the real university, for they
are the ones who are daily doing their
assigned tasks and are preparing them
selves for usefiui careers.

The legislators of Illinois last win
ter made the ground hog a source OF
revenue to taxpayers by enacting law
giving a bounty of 25 cents for scaips
of the animals. The law went into
force on the LIST of July, and 10 Daviess
county reports that 1920 ground hogs
have been killed thus far at cost to
the county of $1050. Hunters are pro-
ducing scalps of ground hogs in great
numbers, and it is estimated that
100, 900 of the animals have already
been killed in the state at large, at an
expenditure of S25, 600. This should
have been foreseen by those who en-
acted the law. for if the ground hog is
a pest that requires such drastic treat
ment, the hunters viii have no difficulty
whatever in shooting them and secur-
ing furry vouchers.

Another Family Bereh.

Mrs. William Hawke died about 3
O'Clock Saturday morning, Sept. 28,
1907, at her farm home three miles
southeast of this city; aged Sc years.
Mrs. Hawke was born and grew to
womanhood in England In 1880, in
company with her husband and four
children, she came direct from her ma
tive home to Linden. There they re-
sided nineteen years, when they locat-
ed on the farm where death shattered
the family circle as announced above.
Deceased had been in failing health
for the last few years, but being forti-
fled with true Christian spirit, strug
gled on with patience and hope. She
leaves a husband, three sons and five
daughters, all of whom sustain an i'm
measurable loss, for what is home
without mother" The three sons
are William T., married and residing at
Linden, Cyril and John at home.

Of 9 Mineral Point Son.

At late Methodist Episcopal confer
ence session, Rev. Alex Bennett, who
is to be numbered among those progress
sive and honored sons of Mineral Point
scattered drought our broad land, was
transferred from Humboldt, Ia, to
York, Neb. In commenting thereon the
Humboldt Republican paysits departing
pastor the following handsome tribute:
Humboldt people will regret to learn
that Rev. Bennett has been transferred
from this place to York, Nebraska. Mr..
Benefits new charge is located IN a
town of some seven thousand souls, and
his church is fourishing one in all re-
spects. While our people regret his de-
parture, they will rejoice in his adj
vancement and wish him additional pros
perity and success in his new charge.
Rev. Bennett is one of the most popular
if not the most popular minister that
has ever located in Humboldt. He lack
ed that contracted vision that oftimes
makes the churchman ridiculous, yet al
ways walks straight in the narrow path.
He is genial without being ELUSIVE, he
is brotherly without patronizing. His
great success lies in his ability to see
life from all angles, and his broad heart
understands all things and judges by
the motive instead of the deed. Added
to this his strength in the pulpit makes
him a man that will be sought by larger
congregations than he served in Hum.
boldt. While our people irrespective Of
church will rejoice in his advancement. ,

DAVIS WAS JUSTIFIED.
Landed Troops When Begged to Do So
by Representatives of Governor.

Washington, Jan .25.--To ascertain ex-
actly the conditions upon which Amer.
lean naval forces were employed in ia
maiea, and especially to determine as to
whether or not they were used at the
request of the colonial authorities or
whether their service was gratuitous,
Secretary Metcalf called for copies of the
text Of the letters between Admiral Da-
Wis and the British authorities of ia
maica These were received by cable
Wednesday night and careful examina.
tion establishes the point that Admiral
Davis did not land naval forces without
request, for in his report to the depart
ment, among other things, he says:
yielding to the entreaties Of che co.
lonial secretary, and the inspector Of
police, who spoke for the governor, /
landed fifty men under arms from the
Indiana"
This was under date Of January is,
and on the same day, the following let
ter was delivered to Admiral Davis:
Colonial secretary's Office, Jamaica,

to thank your excelency for the kind
assistance which you have rendered the
government OF this colony I have the
honor to be, sir,
"Your obedient servant,

In the opinion of the department off.

Iieved from any criticism for his action
in landing naval forces.
