FAREWELLTODR. ALLEN
Churches lutte in Special Services
for the Pastor.

The service on Sunday evening at
the Central M. E. church partook
somewhat of the nature of farewell
service to DR.. Eugene Allen, who has
been the pastor for the past three
years. The Christian church, the
Presbyterian and United Presbyterian
and Baptist churches all closed their
services for the evening in view OF
the event. 1t is probable that DR..
Allen will be sent to the First M. E.
church of Burlington, although moth
ing is absolutely sure until after the
session of the Iowa Conference, which
holds its session this year at Pella.
The Invocation was given by Rev.
Warnock, the Scripture was read By
Rev. McFerran; prayer was offered
by Rev. McCord, and Rev. Rutherford
announced the hymn previous to the
sermon. After an appropriate an
them by the choir, DR.. Allen spoke
from John 11:26: "Whosoever liveth
and believeth in Me shall never die"
DR.. Allen prefaced his discourse with
fitting and appropriate remarks re-
garding his removal. Among other
things he stated that he had never
made partcice of preaching fare
well sermons as he disliked the idea
Of bidding a final farewell to a con-
gregation, and particularly was this
so in the case of Central church of
Oskaloosa. His work among the peo-
pie both in and out of the church
had been exceedingly pleasant and
agreeable and all had worked harmo-
niously together for the upbuilding of
the Masters Kingdom. He also re-
ferred in special way to the many
kindnesses received from his fellow
pastors in the city. His association
with them had been a pleasure and a
lrOfit and he would always hold them
in kindly remembrance. The whole
service was quiet and informal and
after the sermon, the service closed
BY both pastors and people gathering
about the altar for the celebration
of the Lords Supper. The service
was full of reverence and it seemed
almost a benediction on the work of
DR.. Allen in Oskaloosa.

Make The Reports Public.

The city council some weeks ago,
ordered that an analysis of the water
given to the city should be analysed
at regular intervals. No one has seen
a report of the results of any such
analysis. If the consumers are be-
ing furnished with impure water they
are entitled to know it. It's a safe
plan to boil all water used in the
home for drinking purposes. Too
much care cannot be exercised.

The largest number issued during

Auditor Briggs estimates that the
total number this year will fall below
that of last year. His reason for the
unusual rush for the past two months
is that the hunter knowing that he

that it Is just as well to take one out
now as to wait little later. AH

the advocates of the different plans for furnish-
ing it. Some want to have consolidated rural
schools some want district agricultural schools.
and others want to tack an agricultural course
onto the high schools Eventually agriculture
will be taught in well equipped rural and dis
trict agricultural schools, just as medicine is
taught in medical schools and law in law
schools. No really satisfactory work can be
done in any other way, but it is going to take
long time and deal of money to accomplish
this and bring agricultural education to the re-
cognition which it deserves. In the meantime,
very helpful work can be done in high schools
in some parts of the state, and judging from
the article referred to, is now being done.

STATE AERO CLUB NEXT
Plans Are Made at Reorganization of
Topeka Association.

If plans materialize that were made
at the meeting of the Aero club in the
Commercial club rooms last night the
Topeka organization will be again re-
organized into the Kansas Aero club
with full control of aviation in Kan
sas. The idea was proposed by J. G.
Mars when the aviator was here in
June. Secretary Robert Fullerton will
make application to the National Aero
club and meeting to form the state
organization will be called.
Samuel Z. Lux, temporary president
of the club. announced at the meeting
that Aviator Mars had written to the
State Fair association that he had OBJ
tanned the big eight cylinder aeroplane
used by Glenn Curtiss in his flight from
Albany to New York, and that he will
be here some time this month to make
a second attempt of the Topeka-Kan-
sas City flight. No definite date was
set but Mars was emphatic in his
statement.
Robert Pierce was elected president
of the permanent organization; Robert
Fullerton, secretary. and B. D. Mile
ham, first vice president. other Off
GERS will be elected at the next meet
ing.
Mr.. Mileham outlined plans of a
heliocopter, a new kind of flying ma
chine. for which great claims are
made Messrs. Mileham, Fullerton
and Pierce are building machines and
soon will be ready to test them. The
club probably will superintend the
tests.

LAW MUST FIRST BE CHANGED.
No County Printing at the State
Printing Plant.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Permit me to call attention to the
law governing the state printing plant,
defining the duty of the state printer
and his status as state OFFICER (Gen-
Stat. 1909. page 1772).
The law specifically states what the
state printer may print and what ne
shall not print Before any scrap of
county printing can be done at the
state plant the legislature will have to
Cd either order or permit counties to
have their printing done there; CD au-
thorize the state printer to do such
work and CD furnish him with in
creased facilities and appropriations
for additional material and labor. The
plant as it stands now Is equipped to
do only the states printing and its ca
pacity is sometimes overtaxed. Any
extension of its activities rests with the
Legislature and not with the state
printer His duty is to operate the
plant and print copy sent to him by
state officers when their order has
been approved by. the Printing Com
mission. He may indirectly curtail
the volume of work but he cannot in
itiate any new line of work. There
fore, vote cast for state printer on
the theory that he can inaugurate re-
forms in county accounting and county
printing will be a vote cast under a
misapprehension of that officers juris-
diction and duty. The Legislature may
or may not send county printing to the
state plant, but the state printer can
not. and the tissue" made is mislead-
ing because he cannot deliver the
goods" without a legislative order.

TELLS OF ESKIMO FOLKLORE.
indianapolis Professor Returns From a
Trip in Northlands.

New York. July 15.-Prof. William
Verbeck, an ethnologist of Indianap-
oils, who has been studying the folk
lore and traditions of the Eskimo OF
northern Labrador. has returned from
st. Johns, N. F., with a note book full
of observations taken in the year he
spent in the north. 80 Prof Verbeck
SAYS he found the Eskimo intelligent
and little affected by contact with the
whites.
Most of their myths have been pre-
served in primitive freshness. Instead
of having a man in the moon. they
have a girl. One of their young war
riors according to the legend. became
angry with his sister. ran at her TO
box her ears and she fled. Finally she
got to the edge of a preciDice and he
thought he had her then. But her mo-
mentum was SO great that instead OF
stumbling off, the precipice she shot
right out into space. The DrotneI
gazed at her and finally saw her land
right in the middle of the moon.
Prof. Verbeck has brought back
many other interesting traditions OF
the little brown folk.
