Should they not be provided for?
1t was to meet the needs Of just
such people that the State Board OF
Agriculture. of Colorado, last year
established, in connection with the
Agricultural college. the School OF
Agriculture, which provides for those
who have finished the eighth grade
three years training of six months
each In agriculture and domestic
science.
1t Is the hope of the management
that very soon the work may be ex-
tended to include very strong
course in the mechanic arts for the
boys who have a mechanical bent of
mind and do not care for agriculture.
An attendance OF two hundred and
thirteen the first year shows con-
clusively that the School of Agricul-
ture answers a long felt want in the
state of Colorado. An attendance of
four hundred is expected for the
coming session which begins October

Palestine and California.

That the soil possibilities OF Paies-
tine and California are much the same
Is quite q revelation. Prof. A. Aaron.
sohn Of Haifa. Palestine. has pointed
out that each region has a range OF
low mountains near the coast. and be-
yond this a long interior valley with
q range Of higher mountains for the
eastern wall. and. as the prevailing
winds have the same direction. the
distribution of rainfall corresponds
closely. It 10 found that the very sim
liar climatic and Topographic condi-
tions have produced similar plants.
The languishing OF agriculture In Pal
estine seems to be result of poor
government. not Of sterile soil and
arid climate. and II Is believed that
under better management the econom.
ic plants that flourish In California
will be successfully introduced.
Among the plants discovered in Pal.
estine is q wheat, growing wild in
high attitudes on sterile soil. that ID
considered the prototype OF our cul
uvated varieties.

STRICT NEW ENGLISH LAW
6r'ns Of Clown and Aerobat's contor.
tIons May Dc Copyrighted

All grimaces In Mr.. So-and-So's

This notice on the program may
greet the eye Of spectator Of the har-
lequinade Of the future II effect IL
given to the recommendations of the
committee to consider the law of copy
right. which has just concluded its
sittings. says an English exchange.
For in its report Just published ap-
pears the recommendation that the
protection Of copyright should be ex-
tended to Entertainments in dumb
show" and these Mr.. Scrutton. X. c..

facial expressions.
But the clown will not be the only
one to benefit. The contortionist who
ties himself in a novel knot. the gym
mast who invents some new feat. may
equally copyright them. for their en-
tertainments may be Entertainments
in dumb show"
Verbal contortionists. too. will have
their need of protection. for the COM
mittee recommends that authors OF
lectures. speeches and sermons should
have the sole right Of delivering them.
though newspapers may report them
unless notice prohibiting publication
Is given at the time Of delivery.
No longer will the author of mu-
sical work groan at the thought Of lost
royalties when he hears his master
piece ground out on a barrel organ.
for he Is to have the sole right OF au-
thorizing its adaptation to instru.
ments which can produce them me-
chanically."
And tie artist who sees his picture
reproduced by cinematograph may
be tempted to overlook the absence
Of some of it's finer shades in reckon
ing the profits Of the performance.
For SO the committee recommends.
authors OF literary. scientific or artis-
tic works are to have the exclusive
right OF authorizing the reproduction
and public presentation OF their works
