Frank H. Hall, superintendent of
illinois farmer Institutes, has for
years strongly recommended the or
ganization of local farmers clubs
from his personal knowledge of their
work, and now he and Secretary H.
A. McKeene come forward with an
official offer of help to new clubs. If
the people in any locality in Illinois
will organize a farmers club to hold
at least six meetings a year the in
stitute will supply the members with
all reports, circular and bulletins it
issues, and will send a competent
speaker to the club once a year.
They suggest that the neighborhood
club shall consist of from 10 to so
families; that the meetings be at the
homes of members; that the fore
noon be given to the inspection of
the best field, farm products, ami
NAL or farm implement the host can
present; that all Systematically con-
tribute to the food supplied for the
dinner; and that the afternoon be
given to a musical, literary and prac-
teal program in which young and
old take part, and to include some
phase of household economics or ag-
riculture. Local institute officers and
school teachers and superintendent
are asked to promote such organiza-
tons.
No attempt will be made to get ev-
cry township to start a farmers club,
but it is hoped that a number of COM
munities with see the true advantages
of such organization and avail them
selves of this offer, ana every such
will be an object lesson
to commend the club plan.
The West Aurora club in Kane coun-
ty has followed this plan for 10 years
with increasing interest, and its mem
bers are enthusiastic as to results both

The writer has personally inter-

who have been identified with the
Michigan farmers club movement
from the first, and has other reliable
reports of the 400 Michigan clubs.
They give positive testimony that
these clubs have added greatly to the
selfimprovement, education and social
enjoyment of the farmers and their
families. Mr.. Bird thought that no
more than one in ten joined for the
financial benefit, and he had been as,
tonished at the interest shown by the
boys and girls in the discussions. Jack

townships.
State Secretary Julia Ball said of
the Michigan club work: mo reading
or study equals the comparing If
views in the clubs. Unification of ef-
fort is perhaps the most important
benefit, when we wish to have our in
fuence or needs felt. We also need it
to broaden and round our characters.

The Salem Farmers club of Wash

for II years to study the science and
practical results of intelligent farming

diligently, and life on the farm must
be made permanently satisfying to in
telIigent, progressive people"
At the Omaha hearing Professor T..
A. Burnett of Nebraska and Professor
P. G. Holden Of Iowa agreed that the
one thing most need to help country
life is organization, principally for so
cial and educational purposes.
Many farmers have struggled on to
financial prosperity. But that will
never make country life permanently
satisfying" Is the farm simply a
place of hard work and privatICns to
hurry away from as soon as 1t has
yielded enough money? Or are we to
really live in the country, providing
the comforts, and convenisnces, the
education and enjoyments, and rect
ing the intellectual, social and artistic
wants of young and old? All these
may be nightly promoted by the COM
munity thinking and talking together
often in a CLUB. and these are well
nigh impossible without such social
and educative influence.
II club is a good thing for the
town people, it is GouDly good for
country people who meet less often in
their everyday life. The domestic sci
ence department has many successful
rural clubs meeting monthly in Hi
nois. Cannot the men do as we'll?
An annual gathering is not sufii-
cient; the topics of the farm and home
ought to be kept alive and discussed
throughout the year. The farmers
club is well tried means of self-im-
provement, if the people see it and
want it and will work for it. The in
stitute will help them TO get started.

the First Methodist church, tomorrow
evening begins a series of sermons
in which the young people should be
interested particularly. The subjects
are: MY Ideal Young Man." MY
Ideal Young Woman, Faults l Find
in the Young Women of Today"
Faults 1 Find in the Young Men,"
In preparing these sermons the pastor
invited the young women of the church
to write him a description of their
ideal young man, and the young men
were invited to write a description of
their ideal young woman. The points
to be noticed were, physical develop
ment, dress, manners, educational at
tainments, habits, moral and religious
life. Each was asked to mention the
faults in the average young man and
woman of today. Out Of the interest
ing correspondence the pastor has

of breaking the rear door to the shop.
a panel in the door was cracked, and
an opening large enough to admit q

Narrow Escape From Death.-R. r.
Roberts, employed as polisher by the

from death yesterday shortly after re-
Stunning work following the noon hour.
An emery wheel at which Mr.. Roberts
was working burst and several large
flying pieces of the stone whizzed by
Mr. Roberts head with sufficient We
locity to have dealt death if they had
found their mark. Mr. Roberts did
not escape unscathed, but he is for
tunate in that the larger pieces did
not strike him. He sustained a cash
in his right temple and the flesh of
the right cheek was fearfully LAGER
ated. The stone struck with such
force that the cheek bone was crushed.
A physician was summoned to attend
the man, who was removed to his
home on Third avenue near Sixth
street in East Moline. Mr.. Roberts
will recover, unless complications de
velop, though he will be confined to
his home for a time.

MOB WAITING FOR IuAKER
SHERIFF JACKSON LEFT HIM AT
SIGouRNEY.
The slayer viii Likely be Tried at
April Term, Which Opens on
The Fifth.

0ttumwa, March 1O.--The activity
of enraged citizens which started i'm.
mediately after the publication Of the
fact that John Junken, the negro muir
derer of Clara Rosen, was to be
brought here last night for arraign-
ment was so great early in the even.
ing that Sheriff jackson was notified
at Sigourney not to bring the prisoner
here, and the sheriff therefore arrived
home alone at s o'clock. Junken is
still in Sigourney and will be con-
fined there until arrangements are
made with the authorities here TO
bring him in at night, hastily arraign
him and quickly dispatch him to Fort
Madison for safe Weeping.
Sheriff Jackson stated that the mob
spirit here was delaying quick justice
to the prisoner and stated he would be
ready at any time to bring the negro
here when Judge M, A. Roberts and
County Attorney Seneca Cornell
thought best.
Mobs of men were at all depots UNI
til Jackson's arrival and the announce
ment was made that the negro was not
here. They then dispersed. Judge
Roberts left last night for Council
Bluffs for day, and then goes to
Des Moines for the balance of the
week, and made an authoritative sta e.
ment that Junken would not be ar.
raigned this week. Prosecutor Cor
nell is ar home i'll and not able to
leave his bed, which substandates
Judge Roberts statements. 1t is pos
sible that the prisoner may be brought
in some night this week and ar
raigned before some other Judge, but
this is unlikely. 1'
Sheriff Jackson explained taking the
prisoner from Des Moines by the
statement that the Negroes presence
was desired nearer to Ottumwa so he
could be brought in when thought
best.
The activity of the o GERS is due
to the fact that the March term of
court ends n.xt Saturday and they
desire to arraign Junken at this term
in order not TO delay opening the case
when the next term begins April s.
