Miss Susie Jones OF FL Paso, Wood
ford county, is a country school teach
er who made a good talk 10 the state
association OF Country Teachers at
Normal Ill, July Is. about the help
given by the normal summer school.
After telling of the help given in busy
work for little children, reading. geog-
raphy, etc, she said she was glad the
Normal university was offering a
course in agriculture not so much
along the line of nature study. IL is
the farm in which the older pupils
should be interested. Why not give
them interesting as well as practical
lessons about the things from which
they are to get their living instead Of
so many historical dates to learn, maps
to draw or sentences to analyze? She
said that the country teacher should
be able to identify the common trees,
plants. weeds. birds, insects and other
animals; TO know the habits of each,
those that are injurious and the means
to destroy them: those that are ben
eft and how to protect them.
Practical Farm Lessons.
Miss Jones asked what per cent Of
the teachers in Illinois can make a
thorough study of the soil in their re-
spective districts: tell which of the
10 elements are abundant In the soil
and which are lacking, and how 20 in
crease those that are deficient? How
many of the rural teachers know the
value of rotation of crops and what
system IS best for the locality? How
many can select and Judge seed corn,
test its vitality; name the different
breeds of cattle seen, tell which are,
best for the dairy and which for the
beef herd? How many teachers know
the value of the Babcock test and
scales to the dairyman and can make
milk test? If the farmer does not
know the teacher should be able to
show him whether or not he is chained
to the profitless COW.
Teacher Can Help the Farmer.
The teacher should be able TO ex-
plain a balanced ration for dairy COWS,
stock cattle, horses. hogs and sheep,
and know the weights of different feeds
to secure the right proportion OF pro-
tein and carbohydrates for the best
results.
These are few of the things the
future farmers must know. and it is
the teachers duty and within his pow
er to teach these things. II may cost
little effort on the teachers part TO
prepare himself; perhaps a term or
two at summer school and the use OF
bulletins from the experiment station
at Urbana.
The time has come when the public
will have progressive teachers and
those who fail to At themselves for
these higher duties win have to stand
aside, while those who are willing to
do things take their place.

New York, Oct 1S.-John D.
Rockefeller yesterday afternoon gave
an additional $3,S2O,OOO to the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search. thereby making his total
gifts to this institution SS.24O.O0O
and also increasing his known con.
tributions to philanthropy, educa-
ton and science to 25,OO4.662.
The effect of this latest donation
by Mr. Rockefeller, it is expected by
the board of trustees, will be to ex-
tend the work of scientific laboratory
research, which, even with a gener-
Gus endowment, has been more or
less circumscribed. so as to cover the
entire field of medical science.
Celebrated Hospital Opening.
The occasion for this gift was the
celebration of the opening Of the
new hospital attached to the insti-
tute. This event was further signal
lied by the placing of the institution
property absolutely in the hands OF
the board of trustees, establishing it
as an Independent foundation. The
members of the initial board of trus-
tees are John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
Frederick T. Gates. William z.
Welsh. Starr J. Murphy and DR.. ST.

The gift was in the nature of gilt
edge securities whose par value to-
tailed the figures given.

IS SAFETY FACTOR
Electric Headlight Causes Peo-
pie to Give Railway Tracks
a Wide Berth.
OLD ENGINEER TALKS
Says Automobiles in Every Day
Running Take Chances Railroad
Men Would Not

The electric headlight is the great
est factor for safety, that know Of
said a veteran engineer the other day.
q do not know just why it is, but the
persons who pay no attention TO fast
trains in the day time, pause when
they see the rays of the electric head
light
1T is astonishing the way drivers
of automobiles will race with a train
to a road crossing. The utter disre-
gard the automobile folk seem TO have
for the possibilities seems to be on the
theory that If they can beat the train
to the crossing that the train must
stop and give the right of way to the
automobile. That the engineer has no
intention of stopping, that it would be,
perhaps. impossible for him to stop at
the crossing, never seems to occur to
the people in the automobile. / have
never struck one OF those machines.
I am devoutly thankful for that, but
l have come close to it several times.
In the day time the rule seems to
be that they will take a chance, but
at night. when the rays of the electric
headlight beam ahead OF the train,
they wait. I have noticed, too, that
track walkers seem to be more inclined
to surrender their place between the
rails when the rays of the electric
headlight fall upon them. I don't pre-
tend to explain why it should be, or
why it is so, but my experience leads
me to believe the electric headlight is
the best safety factor we have in the
railroad service. They get away from
the electric headlights when whistles
and bells are completely disregarded.
Another Comments.
Another engineer in commenting
upon the tendency of the auto drivers
to race with the railroad train to a
railroad crossing and to take desperate
chances in getting across the tracks
barely in advance of the train, says:
"a railroad man would never take
such desperate chance. Dur
ing the summer months when the
corn is high enough to obscure the
view of the highway in low places, l
think about those machines all the
time. 1t is more of strain than you
would suppose"

LAW SPOILS AN
ELOPEMENT PLAN
Cora D. Heverhng, Aged IA,
Sent to State School for
Girls at Geneva.
AFFAIR WITH A SOLDIER
Had Schemed to Run Away With
Man Stationed at Arsenal When
Arrangement Is Discovered.

Cora D. Heverling, who was declar-
ed a dependent and ordered commit
ted to the Association house under the
care of Police Matron Dina Ramser 10
days ago, was brought back into the
county court yesterday afternoon and
adtudged a delinquent and sent to the
school for delinquent girls at Geneva,
III. The girl who is but Il years old,
had a violent love affair with a sol
der at the Rock Island arsenal and
as 1t boded no good for her future, It
was thought best to interfere with the
plans made by herself and the soldier
A day or two before she was declared
dependent she walked into the office
OF the county clerk in company with
the above mentioned soldier and to-
gether they applied for a marriage IL
cense. 1t was being prepared for them
whelI Miss Ramser happened in by &C
cident and as she knew the girl and
her age, she at once spoiled the plan.
Not to Be Thwarted
County Judge R. w. Olmsted de-
rlared her a dependent upon petition
en- to the Association house where ev-
cry means was used to prevent her
from communicating with her lover.
She succeeded nevertheless in getting
a letter through to him and IN it she
told him just where she was and how
she could be reached. Sunday night
the soldier was to come to the Asso-
citation house and aid the girl in max
Ing her escape, after which they were
TO elope and be married before they
could be caught The soldier showed
up at the appointed hour and the girl
was about to escape through win
dow when her plans were again frus-
trated, this time by the matron OF the
house, who discovered what was go
ing on. The so1dier-lover fed and the
girl was placed under close observa-
ton. It is expected that a short stay
at the state institution will show her
the error of her ways.
Boys Are Incorr1gfbIe.
Merle and Leroy Peterson, sons of
Mrs. Anna Peterson, 436 Fourth ave-
nue., Moline, were adjudged delin-
quent and sent to the state training
school for boys at st. Charles, Ill,

no longer able to control them. She
says that they refuse to go to school
and that when she demonstrates with
them they curse her and even throw
things at her with the intention Of
hitting her.

HEARING ON CAMS

Magistrate Smith Is Out of City and
Another Postponement Is
Necessary.

The hearing on the replevin suit

possession of the CANT bling goods
taken from the Billburg gaming
rooms on Twentieth street when Con-
stable August Schmid made his raid
there recently, was to have come up

Police Magistrate c. ]. Smith but
on account of the absence of the
magistrate it has had to be indefinite
ly postponed. The defendants had
not been notified of the absence of

a hearing, but could not receive it.
The case had come to Magistrate
Smith on a change of venue from
Justice G. P. Nissen. About the
time Magistrate Smith is expected to
return, Attorney ]. H Hauberg, who
appears for the defendant constable,
is expecting to be out of the city.

called attention TO a strangely differ
ent type of fraud which the customs
authorities say Is being widely prac.
ticed by art and antique dealers.
The government is not likely 20 pro
coed against this new type, for it
brings in large additional customs rev.
enue and is probably not actionable.
II consists in overhauling imports for
the sake OF deceiving purchasers.
Objects worth 81 900 OF $4,000 at the
outside are entered as worth $4,000,
$50, 900, and in some casts even as
much as 100000.
The invoice is handed in TO the ap-
praisers, where It is stamped with the
government seal. The government
seal is then exhibited to prospective
purchasers as a guaranty OF the value
of the goods. and customers are thus
charged from Is to 25 times as much
as the goods would bring under nor
nal conditions.
Most customers regard the govern
ment seal as a sort OF guaranty that
the valuation is correct.

LABOR'S ATTITUDE ON
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
Matter of Interest That Comes Up
in View of Gathering Now
Being Held Here.

While there should be no attempt to
inject politics into a representative
gathering Of labor organizations such
as Rock Island is having the honor of
entertaining this week, it is interest
ing to note that the coming of this
body to Rock Island at a time when a
congressional campaign is on, serves
as a reminder of the pronounced posi-
ton union labor has taken relative to
the course of members of congress in
matters pertaining to the claims and
rights of labor. Recently every officer
Of any body connected with organized
labor received from the American Fed
Grafton of Labor headquarters at Wash
ington, D. c., and signed by President
Samuel Gompers and Secretary Frank
Morrison, a notice which reads as fol-
lows, and which calls attention in
printed lists to the congressman whose
votes were inimical to the interests of
labor:
THE house OF representatives had
before 1t the sundry civil appropriation
bill. which contained an appropriation
of 100000 for the prosecution of the

BLAME ON THE PHONE co
Fifteen Minutes Lost, 1t Is Claimed,
Getting Connection.


The origin of the fire which caus-
ed the destruction of the barn of
the Lewis Roofing company on Third
avenue and Twenty-fifth street, yes
terday. has not yet been learned. A
few minutes previous to the discov-
cry a farmer had unloaded some
grain and had just completed the
work and was in the office of the
company receiving payment for
same when the fire was discovered
E w. Lewis today placed the re-
sponsibility for the loss upon the
Central Union Telephone company,
stating that Is minutes was wasted
in an effort to get connection
through to the central Office. In this
time the strong north wind which
was blowing, carried the flames to
all parts Of the building and made it
impossible for the fire department
to gain immediate control upon ar
rival there.
The entire loss will not exceed
$1,000 and is practically covered by
insurance. The horse which was
burned 10 death was recently pur-
chased and was valued at 1925.

New York. Oct. 1S.-Edward H. Har-
riman's $4,000 contribution of the
100000 campaign fund that he raised
in October, 1904, at the solicitation of
10000 votes were changed in the city

Mr.. Harriman's claims on this one

price of the canal had been paid by
the United States to the French own
