Teaching of Agriculture.
There seems TO be little prospect OF thu
passage Of the Sheerley bill looking to the
teaching OF agriculture in the common
schools Of the state. The bill. in the form
in which It finally passed the senate. would
do little more than give warning to the
teachers OF the state that within three
years the teaching Of the rudiments OF ag-
r~iculture would be required in the common
schools, and especially in the rural schools
Of the state. Neither is there to be any
thing done to provide for the education Of
teachers for this work at the state teach
ers' college, or for any other special branch.
President Seerley of the teachers college
wanted help for giving teachers training in
commercial lines, as there is now great de-
mand for teachers Of this kind. but the
Legislature turned 1t down.
Glove Men want Duty.
Glove manufacturers In Des Molnes have
come out in favor Of a duty on gloves in
the new tariff bill. ]. II. Cownie, presl-
dent of a local glove factory. voiced the
sentiments of the glove men. He says
that the duty will cause millions of dollars
to be made in the United states, a. there
is no profit in making gloves at the pres
emit time, the importers being able to bring
them in cheaper. AS a whole most glove
men are supporting that feature OF the
tariff bill.

New Board not in Favor.
The Carroll bill for the creation OF {
new Board of Public Health" is sleeping
in the hands Of the senate appropriations
committee, where It is likely to remain. On
the house side the bill never even got to
first base. The idea of creating a new
board, of almost unlimited powers. to liam
die everything from vaccination to instruc-
ton in butter making and prosecuting fof
sale of impure paint, never caught but a
of the senators. The senate commit
tee is trying to figure out how much. the
new plan would cost more than the pfes-
emit one. but It is a hard thing to estimate,
as the appropriation IN the bill is iudefisot-
in character and the expenditures =
might be almost without limit,
National Guard Bill.
The adoption OF the bill to appropriate %
for the national guard means that hence"
forth the guard will have just $4,000 a
year more to use than it has ~now-$40.00u
from the state and $4,000 from the federal
government. The guard will be required
to have four machine gun batteries and
some other new organizations, but the
greatest expense will be in Increasing the
membership Of the companies. This will
make It very much more difficult to keep
the full quota of companies and a larger
lumber Of disbandments may be expected.
The tendency will be, 1t is expected. that
he companies will be grouped more largely
n the cities and less In the small towns.
