Starkweather Farmers Institute

went up to Starkweather on the
10th Of July to attend the farmers in
stitute. 1t was very instructive. The
professors made hard plea to the
farmers to attend to the soil fertility,
not to keep their eyes shut but to pre-
serve the soil for the future genera
tons, and in an able lecture they told
them how to do it. But I noticed the
farmers were very Indifferent. There
we're forty farmers on the street rub
Der neckin' around, taking in the
cheap graft where there was one
farmer listening to the professors, so
that is forty to one. The brass band
on the street corner, close to the hall,
made such noise that the professors
had to raise their voices to the top
notch and then they we're sometimes
drownded out. However quite differ
ent with the ladies, there were from
ten to fifteen ladies' in the hall to
every man. Great credit to the ladies'.
By the way wouldn't it be a good idea
to let the women run the farm and
let the men put on the kitchen apron =?
am satisfied the ladies would execute
some of the professors advice In the
writer's opinion it will be some little
time before Starkweather can put up
another cheap graft under the dis
guise of farmers institute, and use
the professors as a drawing card.

WHILE DISPLAYING GOODS
 ROBERTS IS KNOCKED BONN
Robbery Committed by Negro in su- buFban Store.

No clue has been obtained as to the assadIant of Burt Roberts. a porter in the employ of the Helm Merchandise Company, 11p Houston Street. who was knocked unconscious early Sunday morning in the store by a negro to whom he was displaying goods.
 Roberts was discovered lying uncon- scious upon the floor by a passerby who immediately teleph oned the police of the circumstance. officers William son and Jackson were sent out to the scene, and found Roberts with an ugly wound in his head. semi- -delirious.
 The man was unable to reply sue cinctly to the questions of the officers. but from his broken narrative 1t was gathered that about ' o'clock Sunday morning negro came in the store and asked to be shown some goods. Turn ing to wait upon the customer, Rob- erts, so he states, felt a fearful blow upon the back of his head and before he could realize what had happened. had lapsed into inconsistencies. He believes that the blow was given with a piece of a baseball bat.
 After recovering his senses. Roberts discovered that he had been robbed of $s which he had in his pocket when struck by the negro. Nothing In the store appeared to have been disturbed and 1t is thought that the thief got away only with the cash taken from the wounded porter. The police are working on the case.
