This IS an increase OF almost $4,000

Just in Time to Flag the Limited.

both we're suffering great physical ag-
ony. The engineer was so badly
scalded by the steam from the bursted
boiler that he was able to crawl only
a short distance The brakeman in
some way pulled himself from under
the car of timber. and, enduring ter
rible agony, dragged himself down the
track beyond the head OF the wreck
Just in time to flag the limited. In
fact. the limited stopped SO near the
wreckage that to have gone farther
would have meant collision.
The brakeman, with one OF his feet
useless SO that he could not have
walked in any event, was exhausted
when he reached a point from which
his signal could be seen and waved
a red flag as he was lying on his side.
He was then SO weak from loss Of
blood that 1t was only his determine
ton that kept him from giving up.
This brakeman and engineer pos
sessed a sense of duty developed to a
remarkable degree. because their
daily training in handling trains had
made duty's discipline the greatest
thing in their lives.
Here is another incident that proves
the same fact. On a railroad in Col

The testimony Of both these sur.

People who know little of the life
of railroad man can only marvel at
the sense of duty in the case of these
trainmen. The strength and the ex.

must possess. IN the first place, this
sense Of duty is deeply impressed on

Taste is curiously localized in the

matte substances. such as wine, sugar
and coffee. can be properly appreci-
ated by the front half OF the tongue. a
piece of knowledge that every true
connoisseur applies when he sips In.

most other substances, however. the
reverse is true. In these cases the
tip of tho tongue serves only for touch

The sides of the mouth, too. are quite
insensible to certain substances not
tasteless. Put some salt or vinegar
between the teeth and the cheek and
you will find them absolutely flavor.

THE PREACHER AND THE WOMEN.

Prof. Arthur Holmes Of the chair OF
sociology of the University Of Penn
sylvania, made a striking contribution
to the discussion of the matter with
the church in an address 10 gather
ing of church workers in Kansas City
last Sunday
He found the trouble with the min
lister and back of that with the
women. and back Of that with the
men. The church women have mold
ed the minister 10 suit themselves and
have made him nice little fellow,
when ne ought 10 be fighter" de-
clared the professor. And. as a re-
suit, men in other walks of life DO not
mix with the minister; they do not
understand him
And how do the women WELD this
made over by the women Of the church.
They most freely crtticise his sermons.
his action. and even, his dress. After
q sermon once I heard a woman say
that the minister's tie was ted hid
eously. Another women I know urged
the removal OF a pastor because she
thought nis feet were 100 big. After
the sermon the women gather to dis
eo.s-not the talk. but the ealksr. They
talk about the At OF his clothes IN
stead Of the ecoundness Of his message,
Any minister who IS patted on the back
BY the women and told that he ts a
1ovely little thing IS a poor specimen
to fight the battles OF the church"
But, going back further. it's the men.
The men are to blame. at bottom. SO
says the professor. The men don. do
their part They leave the church TO
che minister and the women. The rest
follows naturally enough.
A good many Of us VIII FEEL bound
to agree with the professor that the
influence Of men In the church Is not
rs strong as It might be. There is a
good deal In the notion that the men

about subscribing to the professors

70 make trouble for anyone repeating
It. How does it sound TO say, rather
that, since the men won't properly at
tend to it, the church would be neg
lected almost altogether If It were not
for the women?
As for the preacher being a Sissy,
if that is what is meant. maybe Where
1t happens that is due to preponder-
ance OF feminine influence, but ven

A GREAT WHEAT CROP

North Dakota will this year harvest
i2I. 900. 900 bushels OF wheat or so per
cent more than last year, according to
the government report. If the esu-
mate shall be fulfilled, it will be the
first time in the nations history that
any state has raised as much as 100,-
10000 bushels.
The size of the crop is better appre-
ciated when it is said that II is equal to
,wo-thirds of the 1909 crop Of ArSen-
tina or Canada.
There is a great deal said about the
mania for land and the inflated
prices investors are paying. but when

HAYS FARMING SCHOOLS
rSio,,y CRY T-th,,re1

Before N-ilIet VI HAYS became as
s;stant secretary Of agriculture he SER
we'd for years as a member Of the fac
ulty in the college or agriculture Of
Minnesota AS such he may be pre-
suned to have acquired wisdom on
which he bases his opinion Of this lat
er movement TO extend instruction in
farming to common schools Of rural
districts. which Representative Davis.
Of Minnesota. is pushing in congress.
without any appreciate motion, and
which Ia being urged In Iowa Mr..
Holden. of the Ames college. favors il,
and County Superintendent Morris is
interested for II.
The Holden plan is to select fifteen
or twenty teachers. instruct them in
the courses and give instruction 70 pu-
pertaining 10 farming, for ten or fif-
teen minutes each day. This may be
termed the homeopathic curriculum
and recalls Lincolns definition Of that
medical cult L certainly administers
instruction in minute doses We ques-
ton the practical value Of instruction
in farming thus given and Mr.. Hays
treats il lightly. His experience leads
him to the conclusion that efficient in
/ struction can only be given by adopt
ing the methods Of the city schools
that unite manual training with stud
iec.
! In general way he outlines his plan
First consolidate all the schools in a
district. or in areas Of equivalent size
Locate the school house on a 1o-acre
plat Of good. arabic ground. Alternate
! instruction In the ordinary school
branches with work and instruction In
practical farming on portions OF the
school farm under a qualified teacher
| He would have the ten acres divided
! into piats on which training in the
various branches Of farming would be
given In short. It would make his
farm school microcosn OF the agri
cultural college The work would be
actual and practical the boys and girls
doing real work under real and intelli-
gent instruction. Just as in city schools
/ boys and girls do real work in manual
I training under skilled instructors.
/ We are inclined to accept the plan
/ Of Mr.. HAYS as by far the better one
i The concentration of schools and
school funds, the larger attendance. the
actual field work on a plane large
enough for practical instruction, al
commend it over the 10 or IS minute q
day instruction in a few Of the many
phases Of farming
The state could we'll afford to aio
such schools. The farming conmuni
ties are as much entitled TO schools OF
instruction in their vocation as cities
and towns are In its town vacations
States now maintain agricultural col
leges OF which a small percentage onl,
of the youth Of the farms can take ad-
