SHOULD BOIL 'EM DOWN.

If there is one question which the di-
rectors of agricultural experiment sta
tions should take up seriously along
with plant breeding and live stock ex-
periments, 1t is the preparation and
presentation of their usually valuable
research work in such form that it will
be read and understood by the large
class of readers for whose benefit and
enlightenment It is primarily prepared.
A representative of the New York ex-
pertinent station to whom the writer
broached this matter the other day ad-
mitted the point was well taken and
agreed that the difficulty could be in n
measure obviated If the experiment
stations would prepare two sets of re
ports on their experiments. one like
those at present printed, for specially
educated and scientific agricultural stu
dents and second more popular edi-
tioh for the rank and Me who have
neither the time. inclination nor ability
to wade through and get the meat of
forty or fifty pages of matter which,
for the latter class at least, ought to
be limited to two or three pages or less.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Homestead Exemption Bill and
Other Bills of General Interest,

In the Senate Monday a bill
was introduced for the protection
from fire of forests above the
2,OOO-foot level by wardens to be
paid by the landowners concern
ed. Of course only the mountain
forests are included.
The expected bill to amend the
constitution as to the homestead
exemption was introduced in the
House Monday. 1t proposes to
change Section l, Article 10
so as to make the personal prop
erty exemption 5000 instead of
$500, with the provision, But
no merchant shall be allowed an
exemption out of his merchan-
disc or stock in trade" and Sec.
2 by reducing the real property
exemption from 81 900 to $500,
providing but no real or per-
sonal property shall be exempt
from sale for taxes or for pay
ments of obligations contracted
for purchase of the same, nor
shall partnership property be ex-
empt from sale of partnership
debts The bill provides that
the vote on the proposed amend
ment be taken at the next gener.
al election.
Representative Connor, of Will
son, is the author of bill to re-
move the restriction on the ex-
pense allowance of the Governor.
1t amends the act of two years
ago, Chapter 1909, which allows
the Chief Executive $500 annual
ly as travelling expenses in at
tending to business of the State,
and for expenses in the State
and out of the State in represent.

pleasantly entertained her pupils
in her living rooms. Many old

they enjoyed chatting gaily with

One feature of the evening
was the awarding of a prize,

If President Roosevelt will con-

he can draw a salary of $4,000
a week for 80 consecutive weeks,
according to an offer just made
to him by James M. Atlas, pro-
prietor of the Hotel Atlas, of this
city. Mr.. Atlas, who says he is
an old friend of Mr.. Roosevelt
and used to wrestle with him
when he was Governor of New
York, has sent the President the
following letter:
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States:
Dear Sir-Will you accept an
engagement of 80 weeks at a
salary of SO, ZOO week-$3O0, :

day of May, 1909, to head a
Wild West exhibition entitled
Theodore Roosevelt's Congress
of Rough Riders?'
"An early reply will be greatly
appreciated by yours truly,
James M. Atlas"
Atlas says that he is backed
by a circus syndicate, and is ready
to advance the 100000, or any
part of it, as an evidence Of good
faith. In his own mind, he has
already mapped out the perfor-
nance. He says the program
will be about as follows:
