BACK TO The FARM"
BECOMING A REALITY
In This COuntry-Immigrant
Being Turned to Agri.
cultural Regions.

Washington, July 16.-Terence V.
Powderly, chief of the division of Inn
formation of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, says: There is
now a let-up in the demand for men
for work on the railroads, on con-
struction and the like, but the de-
mand for farm labor is on the in
crease.
when we began this bureau two
and one-half years ago." said Mr..
Powderly, we heard a great deal of
the cry Back to the farm!' But
most OF the men who were talking
about going back to the farm did not

farm, in the first place.
To-day a change has taken place
| returned last night from New York
Mr. Green, who is in charge of the
station there, says the interest of
aliens and of immigrants already in
this country in farm work is increas-
ing. Men on construction work and
other work in the city are registering
in the hope of being sent to the
farms.
Immigration is brought about
largely by the fact that people here
write home to their friends and ad-
wise them to come. In the past let
ters sent to Europe have been from
men working i'm the mines or from
men in the cities. But the division
of information has been sending ali
ems to the farms in large numbers in
the last two years and half"
Not less than 5000 persons have
been Sent to permanent positions on
farms. OF these only twenty have
failed to stay. Those who have gone
to the farms have been writing tc
their friends abroad or to theil
friends employed in the cities, and
the result is a gradually growing ten
dency to go to the land. The de-
mand for farm work comes from all
over the country.

Court House.
''MORGAN's OLD HORSE THIEF" ="

Frankfort, KY, July 14.-Gover-
norWillson and Mayor Polsgrove and
400 negro citizens of Kentucky were
refused the use of the court house to-
night by Jailer Mace Lucas, its Gus
todian, for a public meeting to be
held under the auspices of the Grand

Kentucky. Governor Wilson and
Mayor Polsgrove had been scheduled
to deliver addresses of welcome to
the visiting delegates.
When the Governor and Mayor
drove up in carriage, escorted by
the negro officers of the GrandLodge,
they found the court house dark and
delegates standing on the outside.
They requested admittance, anu
Jailer Lucas said to Governor Will
son:
Governor, if you enter the court
house you will do it against my pro-
test, and you will have to batter
down the doors"
Turning TO MayorPolsgrove, Jailer
Lucas said: Jim, I'm surprised to
see you in this kind of business, for
being a Democrat | didn't think that
you would be out on this kind OF
business"
Seeing that it was useless to try
to persuade Jailer Lucas to let them
have the court house, Governor Will
son and Mayor Polsgrove went to
the old Statehouse yard, where they
addressed the delegates to the twen-
ty-ninth annual session of the Dis
trict Grand Lodge, |. o. o. F.
Jailer Lucas is an old Confederate

SILENCE Of YEARS
CARRIED TO CRAVE
After Misfortune, He Turned His
Face to Wall and Re-
fused to Speak.

Summerville, n. j., July 16.-Silas
Hoffman, who had not spoken a word
for 81 years, according to his neigh
bors, is dead. He passed away last
night without breaking the silence
which he had preserved so long. Just
before he died he made an effort to
speak to his devoted sister, Mrs. Mar
garet Lane, who has cared for him
in his lonely house throughout his
eccentric career. The attempt fail
ed, owing either to weakness or to
the fact that he had lost the power
to articulate.
Misfortune overlook Hoffman. He
lost his farm, and finally his pet
team. He went to bed and turned
his face to the wall and for a long
time refused TO eat or speak. Food
was left on a table near his bed, and
when he was nearly starved he arose
one night, ate meal and took a
stroll out of doors. He continued for
number of years to arise each
night, eat and take a short walk in
his garden.
Physicians had been expecting
Hoffman to die every year for the
last decade from sheer inactivity. His
vitality for a number of years had
been so low that at times his heart
almost failed to beat, and for sew
eral days before his death his attend
ant physician could not detect any
pulse.
