SEPARATE CUPS FOR
THE SCHOOL CHILDREN
ST. Paul Board Decides to Adopt
Health Department Suggestion.

st. Paul, Sept. 19.-The old, old
custom, reaching back beyond the
memory of any now living of chill
dren in the public schools having a
common dipper from which all the
children of the room drink is to be
done away with in the public schools
Oh st. Paul.
DR.. G. A. REM. city health COM
missioner today addressed a letter on
the subject to superintendent Heeter,
of the city schools. The doctor call
ed attention to the fact that the
schools were about to open and spoke
OF the inYariable experience that the
health department had had in the in
crease OF scarlet fever, diphtheria and
other contagious diseases, just as soon
as the schools opened, and the de-
crease OF the prevalence of such dis
ease Immediately after the close of
the schools each summer.
The doctor said the schools were
all kept in an excellent sanitary con-
dition as far as he could make out,
anu the water supply was practically
perfect. He could account for the
spread of disease among the children
on no other theory than that it was
due to the fact that the children were
accustomed to drink out Of a COM
mon dipyer or cup intsead of each
child bringing his or her own cup.
The doctor suggests that the COM
muG.ty dipper be abolished forever.
Mr. Heeter eXressed himself as
highly pleased with the suggestion
and thought it a wise and practical
idea. I'VE are glad to get any such
suggestions from the health depart
ment at any time" said Mr.. Heeter.
THAT department was Instituted for
the purpose Of giving advice on sani-
tary matters. l think the change
suggested is one that can be readily
anu easily carried out. l cannot see
that there will be any difficulty with
the plan Of each child having a sepa-
rate drinking cup"

GALLON OF WATER
COSTS EIGHT Cents
Farmers Peddle 1t In Towns In
stead of Vegetables as There Is
More Money In it--ForeSt
Fires DevdStdte
Big Tracts.

Philadelphia, Sept. 19.-Practicany
the entire state of Pennsylvania east
of the Allegheny mountains is suffer-
ing from one of the worst droughts
in years. In some parts rain has not
fallen for two months and the rivers
and streams are so low that many in
dusrics are interfered with and in
some instances closed down for lack
Of water.
Forest fires are burning in several
sections and several localities will re-
port a total loss of crops unless 1t
rains soon. At Shenandoah the water
supply is so low that the farmers are
bringing water to the residents in
town, instead of vegetables, as there
is more profit In 1t. Water sells at
5 cents a gallon and many are csm-
PEELED to walk three or four miles to
get 1t even at that price.
Several coal mines in that region
are closed because of lack of water
power to run the power plants.
At Duncannon. near Harrisburg, the
Susquehanna river Is lower than for
more than a hundred years. In Phil
adelphia the Schuylkill Is the lowest
since 1859 and canal boats are strand
ed at different points. The forest fires
which have spread from the railroad
track tn the tiubsr lands are causing
much excitement and considerable ap-
prehension about Tobyhanna aaq 9TH
er places at the eastern edge of the
state. A careful estimate places the
area already covered by the flames at
sc, 900 acres
There are fires OF large proportions
In number of other localities.
Forest Fires Threaten.
Albany, Sept. 19.-New York Is
threatened with forest fires which
may equal those of 1903, when several
lives were lost and millions of dollars
worth of property destroyed. Forest
fires are raging in the Adirondacks
and are spreading rapidly. They now
extend over 1000 acres of land in the
Adirondacks and nearly 100 acres in
the Catskills.

FIRST WELL KEEPS
STRONG PRESSURE

Roswell. N M, Sept. 19.-(Spe-
ciaI.)-A new company organized at
Dayton this week, composed of Mr..
ChisUm, of the Artesa nursery. and
Mr.. Chapman, of Dayton. and other
residents of that locality, is one Of
the strongest companies at work in
the interests of the development of
the oil and gas field around Dayton.
The new company has secured leases
and claims on unclaimed lands, and
Is now engaged in building a new
derrick. Drill work will Oegin i'm
mediately upon its completion. The
location of the well was not stated.
Another new company, inst gated
by Roswell capitalists who have been
interested in the oil and gas develop

its inception two years ago, j. COM

ness men. The company began work
Wednesday, hauling material to a
point southwest Of Dayton. where as
soon as the derrick can be built and
other materials gathered a prospect

expert from the Beaumont deld, Will
be I'm charge Of the work.
In all. three or more wells will be
sunk. The third well upon which
preparatory work is being done. is
under the supervision Of the Dayton

MANY IN FAVOR
OF CLUB IDEA
They Want a Place to Meet and
Talk and Women Also Notify
Commission They Would Like
TO Have Building Where
They Can Gossip

Washington, Sept. 19.-Farmers in
all sections of the country are mani
Testing great interest In the forth
coming meeting of the commission in
farm life appointed by President
Roosevelt.
What do the farmers need in addi-
ton to bountiful crops to make them
happy?
What ca nthe government do to
populate the farms and keep the agri-
culturists out of the cities?
These questions are being answered
by the farmers themselves since the
president appointed the commission of
five experts TO investigate. While the
commission will not assemble for a
week or ten days, letters are coming
in from farmers who have IDEAS to
suggest.
1t is surprising to the officials here
who are reading these letters that the
farmers from the four corners of the
United States should unite practically
with unanimity upon recommending,
as one of the most important methods
Of making country life attractive, the
erection of community houses.
The club life that means so much
to the city man Is wanted by the farm
ers, !oag Titsp tit he 80 turGa ef
rural progress. They want q place
to meet, TO smoke. to whittle, talk
crops and read.
Some suggest that the meeting
rooms could be provided in connec-
tlon with the schoolhouses, others that
spare room or two might be found
at the postoffices. No one has init
mated that the government should
build each community such a house.
Another suggestion which is gener-
ally supported by the farmers Is that
some arrangement should provide for
removing the middle men. The farm
ers, whether they raise grain, cotton,
cattle or truck, protest against divid-
ing their legitimate profits with COM
mission merchants and others who
market for them the crops. If they
cannot by organization arrange to sell
/ through their members or representa-
tives, then they hope the government
commission Will find some way by
VIII. ch the grain elevators, stock yards,
commission merchants and other mid
die men may DC forced t. reduce their
charges.
The women folks" upon the farm
also are not hesitating 10 impress their
opinions upon the questions involved.
They do not envy their city sisters,
but they do insist that they should
have as much pleasure in life. They
do not ask that theaters Oe erected at
the cross roads or that stretches of
roadways be paved for promenades.
but, like the "men folks" they want
a touch of the club life-some place
where they can meet.
The women propose an enlargement
of the old church sewing circles idea.
They want a room, conveniently To-
Gated, whore they may gather at short
intervals, bring their sewing, maybe,
and do a little gossiping, perhaps,
while they talk over the features OF
farm life that occupy their attention.
The commission, before it fairly
gets down to work, Will encourage
those upon the farms to make sugges-
tons freely.

SELLING MOVEMENT
CAUSES STOCK LOSSES
Market Opened Firm But Broke and
Made Slight Recovery at
Close,

New York, Sept. 19.-The prices
In the stock exchange showed a
marked weakness in the recession
which marked today's trading. The
opening had been fairly firm but be-
fore the end of the first hour all
gains were wiped out and in the final
half hour heavy selling movement
caused losses OF two points or more
In all active issues. There was a
heavy selling of Pacifics, chiefly from
traders who had been on the bear
side of the market the last few days.
The utter absence Of ntws accounts
for the break but the market cir
cles believe that it might be attribut-
ed TO political conditions. The mar
ket showed only a slight recovery
at the close.

HASKELL DENIES

but the Latter Refuses
to Plead Guilty.

Cnicago, Sept. 19.-In the face of
the assertion of Hearst at st. Louis
last night that the affidavit signed by
+. S. Monett, former attorney general
of Ohio, identified Governor C. s.
Haskell of Oklahoma as having been
q party of the Standard Oil negotia-
lions. Haskell today declared the
statements absolutely false.
'"The assertions that / had anything
to do with the Standard are absolutely
false" said Haskell. ION the day the
affidavits are said to have been signed,
September IL, 1908, Monet was in
Oklahoma City and on that day made
q speech in which he eXonerated me
from all connections with the STAN
dard Oil matter. 1t is unbelievable
that any man would make such
speech and on the same day sign an
affidavit stating the contrary thing.
There Is no truth in the charges"
Hearst alleged that Haskell had
been in the employment of Standard
OIL.

United States marshal at Cleveland,
Ohio, ano now seaier of weights ana
measures for the District of Columbia,

ernor Haskell of Oklahoma that 1t
was he to whom Hearst referred in
his Columbus speech Thursday night
as having relations with the Standard,
Haskell declared that Governor Has
kell was mistaken and denied that he
ever had any relations with the STAN
dard, either in a business or social
way with any of the officials. He de-
clared that he did not have any ac-
Quaintance with the officials or mem
bers of the STANDARD. He could not
recall of ever having a case involving
the Standard while he was marshal Of

RUCKER TO HOLD
COLLECTORS JOB
INTERNAL REVENUE DEPART
MENT or GEORGIA WILL
NOT BE CONSOLIDATED.

Atlanta, June "a The office force
Of II. A. Rucker, internal revenue
collector, will be cut in half July /.
This means that the proposition to
merge the internal revenue depart
ment Of Georgia with that Of South
Carolint has fallen through and that
Collector Rucker will continue in
Office.
Prohibition is said TO be the cause
Of the cut When the new law first
went into effect the fall-on in revenue
proceeds brought forth the prediction
that the local department would be
merged with that OF South Carolina.
Such an outlook seemed to entain the
dropping Of Rucker. However, the
method Of procedure has been chan
ged Instead Of the union Of the
two departments the local Office force
has been cut, and half the clerks
here win lose their positions while
Rueker will remain
There are six men in the local Of
fee. Three Of these are to 90. An
attempt was made by one to contest
his discharge. but in effectually. He
appeared before the local civil service
commissioner Geo, S, Donnell, and
asked II there were no grounds on
which be might base a protest He
was informed there were none.
The cut in Office force will work al
most hardship on the remaining
clerks. The internal revenues from
Georgia have been reduced from $780,
600 to 100000 or less by prohibition
but the fact that practically the whole
OF the present revenues is derived
form the prohibition near
beers" makes the duties Of the cler-
zeal force fully as heavy as before.
Still II was cut in Office force or
absorption by the department Of South
Carolina, and the latterr meant the
loss Of position by Collector Rucker.
