1t is claimed by the citizens Of
Caney Fork, in Adair county, that
there has been a regular system Of
moonshining in that section for sew
eral years. 1t is saii that these VIC
lators of the law will set up a still
and operate 1t for a few days, then
tear up and move to another location.
To carry out this plan successfully
almost dozen men are interested
and none of them ever makes or sells
the product any greater length Of
time.
The location now is near where sew
eral months ago e man operated a
blind tiger at the corner Of Adair,
Russell and Cumberland counties, and
so successfully did he conduct his af-
fairs by selling whisky to an Adair
county man in Russell county and
vice versa that he might have kept on
for years, SO far as the strong arm Of
the law was concerned but the citi-
zens took matters in their hands and
persuaded him to leave.

WORLD MECHANISM OF WHEAT

How the wheat grass. ii degraded
lily" was tanned and cultivated by
prehistoric man until is became his
staff of life bringing in its train
most of the complexities of modern
civilization. is told by Herbert y
casson in an article which appears in
the issue OF Harpers Weekly for July
81, Until thirty or forty years ago
every community ate up its own
wheat. says the author. II Was the
advent Of the reaper. in 1881. that
made wheat a world food. Next to
the reaper. the most important factors
in this world mechanism are the rail-
road and the steamboat These ar
rived on the scene just at the right
time To distribute the surplus that the
reaper produced. Next came the
storage problem. solved by the erec-
ton Of the first grain elevator. The
exchange followed upon the introduc-
ton of the telegraph and the electric
cable. Vast virgin lands We're opened
for wheat cultivation. 1T is quite
probable the author concludes that
the march of cooperation will con
tinue until there is a congress and "A
central headquarters and tribunal
which will represent nothing less than
an international fellowship Of the
wheat"

President John NJ Thomas of Mid

Harvard college an endorsement of
Middlebury's department of pedagogy
as established by the state. Doctor
Eliot writes: e. 1t is clear to my mind
that the request wnich Middlebury col
lege addressed to the Legislature of
Vermont was a reasonable one and
that the educational interests of the
state will be greatly promoted in an
economical ay by the granting OF
the annual appropriation which the
college asked for. Will you kindly tell
me ii can, at this late day, do any
thing to further your enterprise?
hope that il will not be necessary to
set up a separate school of pedagogy
but only department. like the depart
ment of classics-or the department of
physics Young men who are to be
principals of high schools ought to
have a good college training with
some special instruction7in pedagogy.
The plan outlined for the work in
pedagogy is that which President Eliot
here suggests.

BOOKKEEPING ON THE FARM.
important Point That Seems to Con.
Germ Agriculturists Altogether
Too Little.

1t may be necessary to give up all
cherished hopes for our life work as
planned and partly entered upon, and
betake ourselves to farming to get
the outdoor life and activity which is
demanded If we expect to remain in
good health. We are like boys at
school now. and must endeavor to
in the best possible way II future
conditions demand less detail in any
of our methods we shall cast out what
is useless; on the other hand, greater
elaboration and omre care may be
found requisite to attain the ends
desired in a satisfactory way.
We are determined to learn all we
can by experience OF our own and
from the experience of others. For.
whatever we do in the years to come
in the line of outdoor work, be 1t
truck gardening, light farming, raising
poultry. OF breeding live stock, it is
our intention to be thoroughly bust
ness-like and aggressive to the extent
that changed conditions of health de
mand. Whatever we do shall be wei!
done and according to approved
standards-and there is no better
guide to profitable activity for the ag-
gressive. ambitious business man than
an efficient method of accounting, as
simple as circumstances permit.
Many farmers now struggling to pay
the interest on their heavily mort
gagged properties might be happy and
prosperous and owe no man if they
could be brought to the point of will
ingness to learn the significance of
the terms debit" and credit" and of
rousing themselves up and applying
the knowledge to the business

FIR INK B. HOWE, RditOr and Publishs

While it seems to be written and
ordained that the future high school
is going to pay more attention to ed
ucating young people for practical du-
ties rather than serve primarily as
preparatory schools for the colleges,
it should be by increasing their util-
ity rather than through complete rev.
olution. 1t is still important that the
ten per cent of pupils who wish to go
to college be given their share of at
tention for this ten per cent in num-
bers actually represents more than a
tenth of the ability and ambition of
the high scaool graduates. The sue
cessful nigh of the next generation must
be prepared to train its pupils not
only for the business office, farm,
workshop and factory, but must not
fail in fitting for college and technical
schools also
