The Department Of Agriculture has
been a tremendous factor IN showing
the American farmer how TO Increase
the value Of his crop, One OF the most
notable OF recent auegestious WIS Of
ficinlly made by DR.. Barrow The ex-
pertinent OF persistently using select
ed corn for seeding shows remarkable
reaultG, An Increased yield OF from
3 10 5 bushels per mere was noted the
FIRST year aud crops improved largely
each year thereafter The results OF
these experiments are so gratifying
that the Government urges the use
OF only the best seed and uniform
planting, The only way TO insure
stands OF uniform size and the
proper distance apart Is 10 have
the sed graded. You can't plant
lrrcguiarly shsped corn accurately.
This iH the secret OF profitable corn
raising. The farmer who pays atten-
tion to the grading OF his corn as well
as to the choice of seed Is the one who
VIII enjoy the bumper, crops Of the

ColonIzing the Farms.

The campaign for colonlzing city
people on farms has brought forth
fruit In many sections OF the world.
IL has introduced the system OF In
tensive cultivation Of the soil that has
resulted In making thousands OF fam
lies Independent Of the uncertainties
OF wage-earning In cities. And, of
all the countries reporting to the
great congress OF farmers, the now
stricken land of Italy has attained
the greatest honor for progress in ag-
riculture. That work has come about
through the agitation Of the past few
years. King Emmanuel has adyocat-
ed intensive farming and expended
vast sums OF money In establishing
permanent headquarters of the In
ternational Institute of Agriculture
where all the nations may place ex-
hibits OF the products OF the soil.
There has been an aggressive cam
paign waged In the Iarge cities OF the
United States for the independence OF
the Jewish people. Colonies have
been established In Louisiana and
elsewhere for practicing the prin-
eiples OF cooperation and giving In
structions in all religious, political
and commercial affairs in which the
Jews are interested. The call back
to agriculture has been heard by
those people In the large cities where
poor families have congFegated. The
children have been taken away from
the streets and alleys and converted
into polished young men and young
women. A complete revolution has
taken place among the families going
70 the farms, and the future has d
brighter appearance for all going
back to agriculture.

Teach Girls to Cook.

President Sylvester. OF the Maryland
Agricultural College. asks that Mary.

Maryland boys TO acquire education
This seems 10 be trite and common
place and sure enough It Is, In respect
70 general educational training. for
Maryland boys and girls have equal
opportunities In the public schools.
II is IN special education. however,
that the boys have superior adyant-
ages, The girls have no technical
school In which they can prepare
themselves for special work Ia the
future.
Captain Sylvester urges that the
girls DO given equal chances. that
while the boys are trained as In the
Maryland Agricultural College to be
farmers, girls should be trained in
domestic Bcienca The suggestion
which Captain Sylvester has thrown
out il important II offers an oppor-
tunity. II awaited OF. for Maryland
girls TO have a school OF their own
whore they will be abba to learn how
TO sew and COX.
Indeed, the question Is very inter-
esting one. Which Is the better pre-
pared for life'e duties, the young man
or the young woman. when as a man
and wife or separately they begin
their struggle for a place In the
world In these modern days when
women are so actively entering into
competition with men as breadwin-
uers and when they are claiming
equal political opportunities Il be-
comes pressing question Of the hour.
What shall we do without cooks ?
Man can do without great many
things, but how can he dispense with
cooks.
Captain Sylvester offers a solution
OF our needs. He tells us to train our
girls to be good cooks as he trains the
boys at the agricultural college to be
good farmers.

the radish king in the Mississippi VAL
ley His name Is Richard IngliE, and
1--WE years ago he visited Mississippi
on an excursion from Youngstown,
10 Having his eyes with him, he per-

he paid So an acre for 20 acres OF

vegetables. Since then he has pur-
chased 200 acres adjoining his orig

an acre as the penalty for demon
strating to the natives what the land
was really worth.
There Is more money In radishes
than In anything else. because they
mature in 20 to so days, accord
ing to the weather and the amount Of
fertilizer. and four crops can be raised
on the same ground during the same
season. Smith and Inglis have raised
as high as 100 barrels of radishes TO

LAUGHS AT STORY.
SWALLOWS DOLLAR.
COMES NEAR DYING
Fernando Romero Puts Coin in His
Mouth and Joke Almost Causes
Him to Lose His
Life

A hearty laugh over a story came
near causing serious consequences for
Fernando Romero, Is years old, a la
borer, living at Monrovia. He had a
silver dollar in his mouth and when he
burst out in a fit of laughter, swaI-
lowed the coin. The coin passed d
short distance down his throat and
then lodged. Romero, his eyes almost
bullying from their sockets, attempted
to eject the money, but was unable to
dislodge the Objectionable coin. He
nearly strangled several times, but
finally pushed the silver to one side
and was able to breathe more freely.
He was placed on a car for Los An
geles and taken to the receiving hos
pital. where Police Surgeon Wiley sue
ceeded in extracting the dollar that
Romero was only too glad to get rid of.
He told the hospital attendants he had
taken supper with his brother at San
Fernando. They were sitting around
the table telling jokes. In an absent
minded manner Fernando took a dollar
from his pocket and placed it in his
mouth. His brother told an unusually
funny story, or it struck Fernando as
being funny, and he began to laugh.
The coin slipped down his throat and
then the trouble began.

MORE POLLING
PLACES NEEDED
DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE TAKES
COUNCIL TO TASK
Best Interests of Citizens Likely to
Be Operated Against by Pre-
cinct Combinations Is
Belief

Declaring that by combining pre-
cincts and reducing the number Of poll
ing places for the charter amendment
election the city council has acted UNI
wisely, the Democratic league yester-
day sent a letter to the municipal legis-
lators protesting that this action is
likely to operate against the best in
terests of the citizens.
A polling place for each precinct as is
provided in general elections, the league
believes, is needed for the charter
amendment election if a full vote is tC
be obtained and the wishes of the pub
lie made known.
Following is the letter to the council:
los ANGELES, Jan. 4.-To the
Council of the City Of Los Angeles
Gentlemen-You have recently passed
an ordinance known as No. 1859
wherein you divide the city into spe-
ciaI election precincts for the submis-
sion of certain proposed amendments
to the city charter for the approval OF
qualified electors.
THE effect of this ordinance is vir-
tually to combine three precincts into
one throughout the city, thereby hav-
ing but one polling place for a very
large area, each containing about 160l
votes, which area ordinarily has three
polling places. This will result in &
meager vote upon the important pro-
posals before us, and might terminate
against the best interests of the city
and in opposition to the desire of ouI
best citizenship.
ut is the sense Of this body that each
regular precinct sholl have its polling
place and board of election thus bring
ing about a full vote and showing the
will of a clear majority of the voters.
I'VE protest against this ordinance
and respectfully ask that this action o.
your honorable body be rescinded and
new ordinace be passed fixing the
election precincts as in regular city
elections. Yours truly,
DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE.
IN. G. YOAKUM, Secretary.

entered or attempted to enter a room
occupied by the landlady of a rooming
house on North Broadway. The wo-
man screamed for help and Higgins

hauStion.

1t is no longer Capt. tom" Broad
head. 1t is Thomas H. Broadhead,
chief Of police Capt. Broadhead for
the next year will enjoy a vacation
while Thomas H. Broadhead, the new
chief, must cope with criminals of all
kinds
That was the way the police COM
mission arranged it yesterday. At the
morning session Chief Kern resigned SO
he could be appointed to the board Of
public works. At 8 o'clock Broadhead
was selected as chief.
A written application was received
by the police commission from Capt
BrOadhead, asking leave of absence for
one year. The commission granted the
request with great solemnity Then
Commissioner Woodill, who all through
the proceedings had been trying to in
troduce his resolution prematurely, had
the chance of his life and introduced
the resolution appointing Thomas H.
Broadhead chief of police. This is a
little subterfuge practiced by the COM
mission to preserve Broadhead's lob as
captain for him, which he holds under
civil service.
Retains Captains Rating
When the present administration
goes out of office and the new mayor
wishes to appoint another chief, all
Chief Broadhead has to do is resign
his position as chief, come home from
his long leave Of absence and again
take up his duties as captain
After Capt. Broadhead had been ap-
pointed chief another resolution was
adopted transferring Capt. Bradish
from the University to central station.
In order to make an suspicious be-
ginning for the new chief of police the
council yesterday transferred $4,000
from the general tax fund to the police
fund to pay for fifteen extra police for
the next sixty days. This is consid-
cred the time Of year when the great
est number of crimes are committed
and it is for extra protection for this
period that the fifteen policemen are
appointed.
