FIRST AGRICULTURAL ENCAMP-
MENT AT klLBOURNE SUCCESS.

Kilbourne, September 4.-The first
annual agriculture encampment to be
held in the state of Iowa is now in
session at this place in the Minear
grove north Of town Is proving to be a
success. The annual picnic held We'd
nesday in connection with the en-
campment was q great success and
everyone enjoyed the day very much.
The encampment IS something new
not only in Iowa. but is one Of the
first to be held in The United States.
1t fills a long felt want for the farmer
boys, giving them the advantage Of a
weeks vacation in the woods, coupled
with strong instruction along agricul-
tural lines as offered by the extension
department of the state agricultural
college. About thirty boys are avail
ing themselves OF the privilege and
are enjoying the week immensely.
Such encampments as these will
supplement the work of the short
courses and coming at the time of year
which they do, gives the students the
advantage of closer observation of the
work in hand. Excursions have been
made through the neighboring corn
fields and stock yards and a careful
study made of all things pertaining to
the farm. One morning was given
over to farm machinery which was
thoroughly studied.
The evenings are given over to re-
creation for the bows of which plenty
is to be found. One night they went
snipe hunting but no snipes
crawled in the open sacks. Last
night the cut a bee tree and tonight
they expect to roast a hog. The work
is directly in charge of Prof. R. E.
brennan Of the Entnnsion department
of Ames. Several other speakers have
been present during the week. Among
them Mr.. Greene, secretary State
Horticultural society, L. H. Paul. of
Anamosa and assistant dairy commits
sioner. w. B. Johnson.
The athletics have been in charge OF
DR.. c. P. Scheock, Of Bonaparte, who
also acts as camp physician.
The work is carried on under the
auspices of the Var Buren, County
Farmers Institute and the officers Of
the encampment ere A. c. Minear,
chairman, Arthur Sample, secretary
committee Hon. B. r. Vale, Arnold
Barker and S. E. Lindsay

church. The bridal party went to the
Burch home and the ceremony was
said at 8:45 o'clock in the presence OF
only a few friends who were in the
secret. The wedding was a great sur
prise to the many friends of both par,
ties and many good wishes are being

Both New Haven and Cambridge give evidence of the influence which can be exerted by institutions of learning for better government. In both towns there is a civic pride and public spirit which is more than or dinary. Yale university has a course which deals with practical problems of American government which in five years grew from 20 to 300 in the number of students. In a recent reference to this course, conducted by Professor Bailey. Pro- lessor Kent said: We have a strong civic interest and spirit in Yale, but it is not at all confined to Yale and. what is still more significant. this course is not selected by the float ers,' but by the strongest men in the academic department. The men who select this course do SO not be- cause it is a snap, but because it means work, and it means eouip.
 ment for something beyond. We hope to develop this course further with a view to training men for ef- ficiency in dealing with civic condi- tions. " Cambridge is regarded. on the whole. as well governed

From the way in which some of the democratic papers of Connecti- cut are booming Congressman Lil- ley for governor, one might be forced to believe that they think he will be an easy mark on election day. If the democrats in convention assem- bled put up the right state ticket it will be easier to defeat the Wa terbury man than some people think. The growls from New London, Winsted, New Haven and Water bury, as we'll as from other places, no doubt have some bite back of them, and 1t will not be discovered how serious it may be until the votes are counted. The outlook foi the democratic party in Connecticut and the nation has not been so bright in many years.
