''TEACH FARMING IN PUBLIC
 SCHOOLS" ADVISES SECRETARY
 OF AGRICULTURE FOR U. s.

"The rich virgin soil titled by these thousands produced abundant1y, more than the section needed or could con- surne. In consequence prices dropped Corn, wheat, rye, cattle. hogs, pota- toes-aH the staple articles of food dropped to prices so low as to make it not worth while to harvest them
 These conditions continued for years. The farmers life was a bur den, and, with mortgages facing him, a snare. There was no inducement for the son to follow in his fathers footsteps and inherit either the burden or the horror. Thousands who had taken up government lands dropped out of agricultural pursuits.
 That is the condition that confronts us.
 True, the farmer today is in a bet ter position than he has been for years He is getting good prices. and we should not begrudge them to him after the long lean years through which he passed.
 FARMER NOW REAPING HIS
 REWARD.
 "He has to work hard, sixteen hours a day at least, but he is getting a long deferred return for his labor The way to get the people from the city to the farm is a broader and wider distribution of agricultural education.
 Most of our colleges today are stren- uously at work turning out lawyers, but few of them make any effort to graduate a. farmer. I would have az riculture in some form taught in every seat of learning and in our public schools.
 starting with the fact that while the farmer has to work hard he has as a reward better health. a longer life and a more independent existence than any other man on earth, it ought to be easy to make the life attractive.
 ''Then I would have the young men taught the newest and latest methods of agriculture. Show them how they can produce more from acre than their fathers did, prove to them how to make $2 where their fathers made but s1, and you will have offered the needed to check the aban- donment of the farm for the city,

By JAMES WILSON,

Secretary United States Department of
 Agriculture.
 Washington, July 29.-''Mr. Gates is right in his assertion that this country is capable of supporting a vastly in creased population, but it can only be done with improved and more scien- tific methods of farming and better conditions all around.
 .'I agree with MT. Hill. We are not producing foodstuffs in proportion to the increase in population. The chief reason for this is that the number of those engaged in agricultural pursuits is out of propprtion to our ever in- creaSing population
 "The trouble lies, as I have often said in the fact that the cities have grown in population at the expense of the rural communities. The people have moved from the country to the town, and in consequence the farms have not produced as they would if the people had remained to work them.
 ''The history of the country for the last fifty years. gives abundant reason for this state of affairs.
 We began to develop our manufac-- tories about that time. We gave these ample protection with tariff which was good thing for them, and for the farmer, who found thereby a ready home market for his product.
 But the factory offered better in ducement to the youth of the farm, better wages, shorter hours, the at fractions of a town or city life, lights at night excitement, recreation, many things which the farm had not This tended to draw the life blood of the farm and did much to begin the trou- ble- Then we began to build rail roads.

 PLOTTO'S KNIFE

Antonio Plotto, a carpenter, is a firm believer in the hour day, and yesterday afternoon, at o'clock, when Meyer KapIen,- a painter, Showed such symptoms as to desire to continue var nishing the window frames that P1otto had just put in in a new house on Bostwick avenue, he showed his anti pathy to such a proceeding by threat ening to stab Kaplen if he did not quit work. Kaplen continued to paint and to make no reply, but when he saw Plotto reach into his pocket for what Kaplen thought must be knife he made a hasty exit through the window, the glass puncturing his right arm in several places. Dr. Krause treated him at the Emergency last night. Plotto put up a SIS bond, and forfeited it. this morning.

There is a tide which is drifting northward. Go down south hundred or five hundred miles. drop box or a plank 'nto the sea and after awhile. if uninterrupted. 1t will find its way to Alaska. All along the Alaskan coast the beach is dotted with fir logs polished and water-worn with their long travel northward. We do know the scientific reason for this, but 1t must be true as there are no fir trees in Alaska. The fact is not only interesting in itself but it typi- ties the drift of immigraton to this mysterious land of opportunity. There is a tide in the affairs of men that is drifting them to Alaska which taken at the flood leads on to for tune" Already thousands have been impelled unconsciously to succumb to the northward drift and many are yet upon the tide.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasins Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.
Barometer % 94 Rainy and calm

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from their use has proven permanent. I suffered from an acute attack of kidney trou- tIe and though ' used remedy after remedy, I was unable to find relief. l had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secretlons. Doan's Kidney Fills helped me at once and continue use entirely relieved me. l am q great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills and have recommended them on many occasions"
