PREDICTING
Time Of Death Seems A
Family Habit

Springfield, August 22-Predicting
the time of death and then dying on
that date seems to be, almost habit
in the Gard family, for years one of
the most prominent in Clark county.
Three months ago Warren E. Gard,
then in good health, told his wife that
he would die Sunday, Aug. 81. He
also told neighbors the same thing.
This morning he was found dead in
his chair, death being ascribed to
heart trouble. The firmness of CARDS
conviction was shown by the fact that
in the last few weeks he arranged
and closed up many of his business
interests.
Twenty-four years ago DR.. John
Gard, well-known physician, father
of Warren E., predicted the date of
his death, and on the day he had
named, died suddenly

"JOY RIDE
Taken With A Horse And
Buggy Saturday Night

On, Saturday evening at about nine
o'clock, horse and buggy belong
ing to a man residing near Ebenezer,
was stolen from the hitching rack in
front of the Mansfield restaurant on
West High street by unknown per-
sons. When the owner of the rig
began making preparations to start
home, he found that his conveyance
was missing and began a diligent
search. After a short time, he was
rewarded by finding his horse hitched
to the buggy, standing about two
blocks farther down the street. 1t is
thought that some person or persons
desired joy ride and secured it at
the expense of the man in the res
taurant.

STATE FAIR
May Be Postponed On AC-
count OF Strike

Unless the street car mems strike
is settled within a week the state
board of agriculture will probably
postpone indefinitely the state fair
scheduled for the week commencing
September 5. A meeting of the board
will be held before the close of Au-
gust to consider the subject.
"The state board would lose from
$4,000 to 100000 if the fair
should be held during the strike
said A. P. Sandles, secretary of the
board. Few people would care to
ride while cars are being stoned
and dynamited. The strike has
been so we'll advertised throughout
the country that / am sure few
would come here to the fair.
The indications were that the
exhibits this year would double
those of any other state fair.

plicants for exhibitors space. Thirty
acres added to the fair grounds

for all those who have applied for the

At COShOCtOn
(Coshocton Times)


Without any warning whatever part
of the rear wing of the Mecca hotel
building on the corner of Main and
Third streets collapsed at about $3.50
o'clock Friday evening. This part of
the building was unoccupied as 1t was
condemned some time ago. by the
authorities. This fact alone and the
opportune hour in which the collapse
took place prevented anyone from be.
ing killed or maimed. During the
day the children Of the neighborhood
play continuously about the building
and had the collapse taken place dur.
ing the day some of them might have
been crushed In the ruins. In falling
the ruins knocked In a great hole In
the roof Of the house adjoining which
is occupied by William Clough. Fort.
unately Mr.. Clough used. the room
which was struck by the falling tim,
ber for a store house and no one was
in 1t at the time. The remaining part
of the wing looks substantial enough
and will probably stand for some time.
A great pile of splintered timbers,
bricks and mortar mark the scene Of
the collapse. The building is the prop,

Stole
Watches And JeWGIry From

GAINESVILLE, Aug. 22-Rev A. A.
Hauberch, pastor of the Miltonburg
Lutheran Evangelical Church, was ar
rested today, charged with the theft
of II watches and other jewelry, val
ued at 5000, from students of the Eden
Theological Seminary, at Clayton,
Mo-, where he was on probation. The
pastor said he stole because he need

of suspense, he was glad he had been
caught. He said he would learn some
trade in prison, so as to be useful up
on gaining liberty, as he expects to be
expelled from the ministry.

FALL TERM AT THE oBERLlN
BUSINESS COLLEGE

The fall term at the Oberlin Busi-
ness College will open Tuesday, Sept.
6, 1910. Any of our young people in
tending to enter a business college
would be pleased with this school. 1t
is probably the best equipped as well
as the most thorough school of train
ing in the state. 1t is one of the few
schools to use the actual business
community method in teaching book
keeping. 1t teaches the Benn Pitman
System of shorthand which is used
by more rapid reporters than all 9TH
er systems combined. Its graduates
are in great demand, and are employ
ed by hundreds of leading business
firms.
Those who go to Oberlin are sure
of positions if they complete the
course.

TURN OUT"
Boys At Essex Bottle Factory
Walk Out
When Refused An Advance In
Their Wages

The Essex bottle factory was com.
PEELED to shut down on Monday morn.
ing owing to the fact that the entire
force Of turn out" boys, forty-six in
number, walked out, declaring a strike
for more wages. The move has ey-
idenuy been contemplated by the boys
for some time.
On Monday morning a committee
representing the boys, sought an in
terview with the management of the
company and stated their alleged
grievance. Their demand was FOR
more money and that. they be en-
ployed steadily. Heretofore, the turn
out" boys have been receiving $1.75
per day, but as the weather has been
exceptionally warm for that kind Of
work, the committee made demand
for ~ per day. The management of
the company refused to listen to the
talk of the committee and as a result,
the entire force of boys walked out
When interviewed by a representative
of the Banner on Monday morning
after the strike had been declared, the
committee stated that they would not
return to work under any considera-
tion except on the agreement of the
management of the company to com
ply to their terms, viz, an advance
of twenty-five cents on the day, MAX
ing the raise from $1.75 to $500.
The manager of the company stat
ed, when interviewed, that there
would be no compromise between the
strikers and the management and
that the affair was looked upon by the
company as small matter and that
the places left vacant on Monday
morning would be filled during the
day and that the work would go on
as usual. He also stated that any
of the strikers would be at liberty
to resume work at any time if they
so chose.

MAGICAL
Growth OF Corn And Potatoes
In COSh0CtOR
(coshocton Age)

A field of corn that rivals anything
Alice ever saw in Wonderland, is at
tracing attention of the friends of
George Senft on lower Chestnut
street.
Mr.. Senft owns some lots facing
Water street that run down to the riv-
er. The spring floods always inundate
the lower half of the lots, but always
deposit thereon a rich silt and soil
gathering the cream of the acres up
the Tuscarawas valley. This spring
he planted the lower ends Of two lots
In corn, part sweet corn and part
field corn. The result has been magi-
cal. The stalks have grown like Jacks
bean stalk, and are as big around as
young saplings, in height some of
them reach 16 feet by actual measure
ment, and although Mr.. Senft is six
feet, one inch, yet it is all he can do
to reach up and touch some of the
ears of corn.
A couple Of rows or SO of potatoes
have also been planted, and the tub
ers have grown to enormous size,
being as wide across as a big mans
palm. Mr.. Senft says that the soil re-
quired very little cultivation. He had
it plowed and planted the seed and
did little else.

AN ENGLISH CUSTOM.

A new queen has been crowned at
Isleworth, says the London Stand

She is Queen Gladys Ashcroft, and
she will reign at the Spring Grove

The girls of the upper standard
choose queen by vote each year,
and she is the court of appeal be-

full getaway, Sheriff Parker was pos
tive in his belief that the fugitive
was in hiding near his home and had
such strong lines out for the capture
of Suttles that it was only question
of short time until he would again
be in Jail.
Sheriff Parker had made it plain to
Mrs. Suttles that something of very
serious nature might happen to her
husband unless he gave himself up, as
the sheriff was determined to recap
ture Suttles, alive or dead The stu
alton so impressed itself upon the
mind of Mrs. Suttles that she stated
to Sheriff Parker that she would do
her best to prevail upon her husband
to return. John Bateman, neigh
Dor and close friend of Suttles, had
also been seen by Sheriff Parker and
Bateman had likewise promised to ad-
wise Suttles to return to jail
Sunday night at 9:45 o'clock as
Sheriff Parker was going through the
yard from the courthouse to the Jail,
he met Hon. w. M. Koons, Suttles'
attorney, who informed the sheriff
that there was a man at the Jail en-
trance who desired to. see him. The
man proved to be Suttles.
In answer to a question by Sher-
iff Parker, Suttles declared that he
had no intention of leaving perma-
nently, but that he felt the need of
some exercise after his close con-
finement in Jail and that after being
out for few days it was his inten-
tion to return. He had kept hiding
near his home, sleeping outdoors or in
the barn. He was aware that it was
impossible to escape from the line of
vigilance established by Sheriff Park
er and concluded to return Sunday
evening.
Suttles was locked up in Jail and
will doubtless not make another at
tempt to secure his freedom by such
method as he employed before.

We found that the rural school teach
er, as general rule, comes from the
| cities or large towns, and is not in
sympathy with the environment in
the country, and the influence exerted

In the country is not the best We find
That the teachers as a rule are paid
very small salaries in the rural dis
tricts but notwithstanding this we also
found that there was expended in the
state of Minnesota last year $14, 1000, 900
for educational purposes.
We found that there are a million
people in the state of Minnesota who
make their living off the farms. We
found that the $14,00O,000 referred to
was being expended to educate 435, ZOE
school children of all ages including
the students of the state university;
we found that 4,436 Of these school
children are in the university, and we
found according to statistics that 1918
OF these 500 are taking agricultural
courses. This is what / want to call
your attention to; the fact that in
Minnesota we are expanding $4,000
600 to educate $4,000 consumers and
1918 producers. In other words we are
expanding $14,000,O00 to educate what
might be called educated parasites, =
people who live off of somebody else,
and they are living off the 1918, gem
orally speaking, who are taking the ag-
ricultural courses.
Now, / put that in this way because
I want to impress upon your minds the
fact that there Is something in the
Minnesota educational system that the
business men, that the mothers and
fathers Of the state want to look into,
and that Is whether or not their chill
dren are getting value received for that
$14,O00,000 which is being expended for
educational purposes, or whether that
$14,000,000 is practically wasted. This
Is the question for the people of the
state Of Minnesota to discuss today.
Following Obsolete Traditions.
want to call your attention to the
fact that in Minnesota as In every 9TH
er state in the union we have been
following along educational lines es-
tablished 100 years ago. Conditions in
this country have absolutely changed.
We have labor organizations that limit
the number OF boys that may learn a.
particular trade. We had nothing OF
that kind hundred years ago. A
hundred years ago the blacksmith was
an important member OF society. To-
day he is not SO at all.

ment of this law. Unquestionably such
a law should be passed by the legis-
lature Of Minnesota, Notwithstanding
the fact that it is not looked upon with
favor by a majority Of our educators.
We cannot too urgently refer to the
Importance of inaugurating as soon as
possible, system of agricultural in
struction in the rural districts in Min
nesota 1t is estimated that there are
approximately 100000 people in Min
nesota living on farms, and of this
large number necessarily only a very
small percentage can attend our agri-
cultural colleges and schools.
To better illustrate the great dis
parity between the number of young
men and women in our state who are
receiving education in scientific agri-
culture and those who are receiving
professional Or academic educations,
we desire to call attention to the fact
that in all of our agricultural schools,
including the agricultural college,
there were in 1909, only 1913 students,
and this number includes those at
tending the farmers short course;
while the number of students attend
ing the university alone was 4,436 and
the student enrolment of all public
schools, high schools and rural schools
in Minnesota was 435,109. We, of
course, realize that in few OF the ru-
raj schools some instruction in the ele-
ments of agriculture is given and there
have also been recently organized ten
so-called agricultural high schools"
Of the results accomplished in the ru-
raj schools referred to- little seems to
be known, and it Is as yet altogether
too early to form any conclusions as to
the results which may be accomplished
by the agricultural high schools.
Some Of the Findings.
Before closing / wish particularly to
emphasize the fact that the opinion
OF your committee and of your execu-
tive council is that the most important
thing we discovered was that in Min
ncsoFa there was no instruction in ag-
riculture In our rural schools along
systematic lines. We found that in
the state OF Wisconsin they did have
such system. We found through talk
Ing with the people at the experiment
station and agricultural school at
Madison that they think great deal
of the general interest lin agriculture
being manifested in that state. They
attribute this to the fact that the
children are taught agriculture In the
schools. In Minnesota agriculture,
outside of our big agricultural schools,
is only taught in our schools in few
places. Nothing Is being done along
systematic lines In the rural schools.
