While conversing with neighbot
about a fire which occurred in his store
at Green Camp this morning., Isaac
wynn a prominent merchant and re-
tired farmer of that town dropped
dead as the result of heart failure,
brought about by the excitement OF
the fire.
Since the fire, last Thursday, Mr..

AS result of the election of II
Edmund Hill, o. G.. Briggs and Robert
Pennell as members of the board OF
Education, the career OF II. l.. Frank
as superintendent of the local school
comes 10 a close and the fact was the
subject OF much comment locally to-
day. The two first named gentlemen
have been elected on a stand in OPP
position to Mr.. Frank and Mr.. Pennell
although noncommital, Is understood
to be also opposed to his reelection
and the result is that Mr. Frank will
IN all probability not be candidate
for reelection.
No definite statement concerning
his plans for the future was made
by the superintendent in an inter-
view this morning. 1--WE have lost"
he said "and the fight is over. am
glad that It is over and in a sense
4 am glad that | have lost. The con-
slant pickering and upheaval makes
the position disagreeable one and
is not worth the trouble We have
been disturbed long and am glad
that it IS finished
Mr.. Frank explained that in his
fight for reelection he was not so
much seeking the work as to obtain
fair statement from the people OF
the city relative to this work. He has
believed that the school patrons have
been and are pleased with the work
in the schools and he has been de-
srous OF fair verdict. That little or
no work was done by the Frank fac
ton is the superintendent's explana-
tion of the result and he thinks that
still a great majority of the people
of the city do not understand the
real situation. Mr.. Frank deplores
the lack OF. interest among the resi-
dents of the city in this fight and he
states that his best friends In many
instances overlooked the school board
fight, being engrossed in the mayor
atty cam oaign. ~ ,
To his many friends who assisted
the candidates. who supported him,
Mr.. Frank is thankful, and he is also
appreciative of thet support which
has been given him by his friends
during his work in the schools here
Whether he will be a candidate for
reelection next spring was saked OF
the superintendent who stated that
ne was not in a position to say at
present but he declared that he haa
thrown up his hands last night when
the returns were received.
Mr.. Frank came to this city in the
fall of 1901 succeeding Arthur Powell.

Center Of Population

The center of population in 1900 was
in the state of Indiana. In 1870 the
center was twenty-three miles east of
Maryland, or virtually on the Atlantic
shore line. Its migration has been slow
and remarkably uniform, both in rate
and direction.
/, 1t has lowered for 10 years along the
thirty ninth parallel of latitude and it's
total variation to latitude has been less
then one third of one degree.
The westward movement has aver
aged less than degree in a decade, not
withstanding the incredibly swift &C.
cupation of a vacant continent by a
movement of population westward.
The easterly position of the center of
population is in part due to the fact
that the eastern part of the continent
was first settled and was settled from
the east The easterly position of the
center Of populatihn is also due. to the
more evenly distributed and more
abundant resources of the EASTERN half
of the United States. -.
1t should not be forgotten that the
geographical center of the United States
lies some hundreds of miles west of the
Mississippi river. The eastern half of
country, therefore, embraces the At
lantic lowlands, the prairies and great
lake plains, the gulf lowlands and the
forests and minerals of the Appalachian
mountains and Appalachian plateau
Over against these are the arid and
mountainous areas of the west which
are being reclaimed at a rapid rate.
Their incredible productiveness, their
vast mineral wealth and the trend of
immigration will result in the center of
population continuing to move west for
many years to come.

Are you letting yourself sag a bit

watch on yourself to prevent it. Each

to sag. Also. walk around your room
each day with piece OF broomstick
or short umbrella under your arm and
brought across the back. This keeps
the chest up and head well poised.
Deep-breathing exercises, whenever

TEACHING FARMERS TO
MAKE ALCOHOL

The government has now opened it's
alcohol school in the city of Washington
for the instruction of the people of the
United States in proper methods. of
making and using the denatured pro-
duct. =
For this purpose IL model still has
been erected CLOSE by the Department of
Agriculture which is big enough to
work up % bushels of corn n day, con-
verting that Quantity Of grain into 70
gallons of 95 per cent alcohOl-that is to
say, 05 per cent pure. That plant repre-
SCENTS the smallest outfit that can be
conducted proftably on a commercial
scale -
The farmers cannot very well see it
for themselves, SO arrangements have
been made by which they may learn
about it. Agricultural experts from the
experiment stations in every one of the
states are to go to Washington, says
Suburban Life, examine the alcohol
making outfit, see how it works and
listen to u course of lectures explaining
ness when they go home to teach the
farmers how to put up and how topper
ate plants of this character.
Inasmuch as such ~ plant could not
be erected for less than $500, it is
obvious that the ordinary farmer would
not be able to afford to construct one of
the kind. But-and here is the point
n group of farmers representing n small
,neighborhOOd might easily do So >
Then they would bring their corn
stalks and other such refuse to the
'milP and receive in return the alcohol
1t is u simple method which farmers
have long been accustomed to adopt
where flour and other necessaries were
concerned.
The farmers are eager to find cheap
source of energy. Nowadays multi
tudes of them use gasoline for such Dur-
poses as grinding feed, cutting fodder
and running the corn shelter circular
saw, horse clipper and grindstone
A farm in these times is more or less
of IL factory. But gasoline is expensive
Alcohol is comparatively cheap, and
when manufactured from the farmers
own vegetable refuse it would cost next
to nothing.
In France there are $4,000 farmers
distillers who make alcohol for indust-
rial purposes from molasses and sugar
,beets. 1t is high time that this idea
was turned to profitable account in the
United States. Rotten apples, frost
bitten potatoes, stale watcrmelons,
cornstalks and cobs and every other
kind of vegetable refuse are available
for the purpose.--New York Sun.
