WATER EXPERTS.
Feats of Diving That Are Performed
by Swedish Swimmers.

TSats OF living lndt are performed

The Swedes delight In combination
diving" and two men will perform
many clever feats together. One of
the most grotesque of these Is when
one man stands upright on a spring
board and tightly clasps another mans
body round the waist, holding him
head downward and putting his own
head through the mans legs. When
the upright man springs from the
board he throws bis legs into the air
SO that the two men, clasping each 9th
er tightly round the waist, turn SOM
ersault, and when they reach the wa
ter the man who started upside dowp
arrives feet foremost.
The handspring dive is a very effec-
tive specially of Swedish swimmers.
The performer takes off from the div
ing board with hands instead of feet,
turning his body in order to descend
feet foremost or somersaulting to ar
rive head downward
Very graceful also Is the back dive.
In which the spring Is made backward,
the body turning toward the spring
board.
Double somersault dives are made
from platforms thirty to fifty feet
high, the diver making two turns in
the air and entering the water feet
foremost.-London Saturday Review.

Australia's Growth.

An advance estimate of the popula-
ton of Australia fixes the total atrifie
short of $500, 900, which ia a gain OF
about 725,00o- in the past ten years.
While this gain on first examination
looks favorable, the progress indicated
is short measure compared with that in
our country. In fact, it will be
most surprising if the growth in any
section of the United States does not
eclipse that Of Australia. In u six
small New England states the gain
since 1900 is about $50, 900, consider
ably more than the six states of Aus
~trai;a. Any six OF our southern, east
| ern or trars-M Mississippi states will
probably exceed Australia's increase.
The island continent apparently is
not as attractive q field for the Euro
pean immigrants as the United States.
Colonialism is not gaining to any
marked extent. The growth of Canada
is due in a great measure to the move.

Canadian northwest. Broad as are

The Local Newspaper and the
Farmer

At the recent North Carolina Farm
ers' State Convention a resolution was
adopted asking the local newspapers
to give more attention TO the develop
ment of agriculture AID to the work
of the individual farmers i'll their their
respective sections. The day before
the resolution sas adopted the farmers
had had q lively discussion as to wheth-
II or not the couatty newspapers give
~ much asten tor TO their rural read
ers as might justly be expected of
them. Some Of the Convention mem
hers thought that they do; the adoption
Of the resolution in question seems to
show that most of them held a differ
ent opinion.
Well, some of the newspapers re-
scented the criticism and said. in effect,
the farmers were unappreciative, and
all that; some of them talked in a kind
X. ~patronizing way to the farmers and
Informed them-very politely, ito be
sur that they were making Ga mis-
take in v~enturing to offer suggestions
to the newspapers. One editor came
'pack at the farmers as follows:
That statement down at the Farm
ers' Convention that the newspaper
MAJ did not do enough for the farmer
ds3amusing to say the least. The news
papers have been knocking at the door
of the farmer ever since the Civil War,
but for a century they did not open up.
A small portion of them have taken in
to their homes some kind of a paper,
but usually they get the cheapest one,
regardless of its quality of reading
matter. If they had been close read
ers of Southern newspapers, and mad
the disposition to act to the valuable
suggestions contained therein, we would
not nave had TO wait fifty years for
our present day improvements to the
farm. Almost all Of the Improvements
on the farms have come through the
demands and aggressive spirit o. the
town people, and We might say against
the wishes of the majority of the farm.

which comes by reading and contact,
and less of the self-will in the face of
facts. We could no more sa7 that as
q rule the farmer has been an up-to-
date progressive than we could refuse
to our own child medicine if he We're
ill.,"
Now, the writer OF this article also
wrote the resolution in question, and
feels that it was fully justified. At
least two OF the three hundred. news
papers come to our Office. and com.
para.ivcly few Of them seem to realize
at all the opportunities they have;to be
Of service to their farmer readers.
With all this, however, there is much
of truth in the editorial just quoted.
We. as farmers, have a right, in many
cases, to expect better things of Our
loca. newspapers, but, in many cases,
the paper has a right to expect better
things of us. We may just as well
recognize that fact t.:at if we have
been neglected it is pretty largely our
own fault, and that it is discouraging
work for anyone to try to help people
who will not help themselves. We have
it largely in our power to remedy this
lack of understanding of our problems
on the part of newspaper men, and it
: is UP to US to do it.
Some Of them are now doing all that
could be expected. and others are grad
ually getting into line. Here, for ex-

TIME TO SELECT SEED CORN.
Farmer Should Pick His Corn fol
Seed Before the Corn is Put
in the Shock.

The farmer who does not select his
seed corn from the stalk before it
is cut up, is. making a mistake.
When it is selected from the staff,
the earliest ears may be chosen, and
where this method is pursued for
several years, it is possible to short
en- the season quite materially. Not
only this but the foliage of the staff
may be observed and seed ear
should never be selected from a
crooked, smutty, immature or blown
down staff.
1t is well to hold in mind a GER
tain type and to take only such
ears as conform to this type. Much
can be done IN the way of improving
even the best of our varieties, and a
little time combined with intellig-
ent selection, not only stamps the
farmer as progressive, but brings
money to his pocket. The earliest
husks will now be found turning
yellow. Examine the ears and where
they measure up to the requirements
pull them off and hang them up in
an airy place to dry before freezing
weather. Next spring you will con-
graulate yourself that you follow
ed this advice.

o p Smith, first vice president of

Dor, who was reelected to office at
the annual state convention. which
closed at Lafayette Thursday, says
that the executive committee, to
which has been left the matter of
rafting and adopting resolutions,
will adopt a resolution indorsing the
movement to repeal the county OPP
ton law. The executive committee
met III indianapolis yesterday and
will remain in session until the reso-

it. He hints that the "wets" in the

Wonderful Gas Heater Installed.

VouuCi1u1 0do 4AootcI 4uoteA1co.
Mr.. Harry Humrichouser of $40 N.
Michigan street has recently INSTALL
ed in his home a "Ruud Instantanc-
Gus Automatic Gas Water HEATER
the most modern hot water appliance
A turn of a faucet anywhere in
the house automatically turns on
the gas and you have water hot as
you want it as soon as it can
traverse the distance between the
heater and the faucet; when you turn
off the faucet, the heater automatic
ally turns off the gas supply.
The most wonderful part of the
mechanism possibly is a little instru-
ment called a thermostat which re-
g%ulates the temperature of the wat
er. This is set to any desired tenn
of the water rise above the desired
point the gas as is automatically turn
ed off until it eools to the proper
degree, when the heater. again
automatically relights. So sensitive
is this wonderful little instrument
that is acts instantly, thus providing
at once, at anytime and at any hot
water faucet in the house, an abund-
ant supply Of hot water of uniform
temperature.
Mr.. Humrichouser is very much
pleased with the appliance, and
takes great pride in showing it to
his neighbors.
