Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Conserving NIAGARA.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The movement for conservation bas-
ed on economic grounds should not
lead us to neglect a corresponding
movement based on esthetic grounds.
Next in Importance to preserving a
good thing comes the preservation of
the looks of good thing. The work
of the committee concerned with the
scenic aspect of the Niagara river
gives promise that the movement
which began with the creation of nat
ional and state parks may soon be
completed by the removal of the fac
tories, power-houses and trolley lines
that still disfigure the scene. The
plan of this committee, as recently
laid before the secretary of war, con-
templates that the whole American
shore below the Niagara gorge shall
become, in it's turn, national reserva-
ton, and that the trolley line which
gives access to the scenery" shall be-
come less a part of it by being shift
ed SO as to follow less conspicuous
route. Few of lis realize how big Mia
CARA bulks in the eyes of cultivated
travellers from abroad. With many of
these Niagara Falls are the cardinal
point in the American trip. The bet
ter we treat the greatest and most
accessible of our natural wonders the
better Justice shall we be doing out
esthetic sense and the better standing
shall we enjoy in the sight of intelli-
gent visitors.

A Useful Lesson,

From the Philadelphia Press.
One of the most inspiring object
lessons of the day in the matter of
personal vigor and concentration of
purpose is afforded by the spectacle
of the noted pedestrian, Edward Pay
son Weston. in his effort to walk
from ocean to ocean in 100 days. 1t
will be remembered that on the west
ward trip he undertook the same task,
but owing to the lateness of the sea-
son and the consequent fall of snow
and generally unfavorable weather
conditions, he failed in his object by
about six days. Notwithstanding his
failure to complete the distance in the
allotted time. his performance was a
grand exhibition of strength and nerve
on the part of the aged athlete, who
yesterday completed the seventy-sec-
ond year of his age. He is now in
Kansas on the return trip and is over
seven days ahead of his schedule
At Weston's age men in general con.
slider themselves past the stage of &C
tive effort-at least, active physical
effort--hut this example causes us all
to stop and consider the moral as ap
plicable to ourselves.

HAWLEY LINES PULL OUT.

Mason City, Feb. l5.-Traffic rela-

the tracks of the latter roads by the
former line, is said to have been can
celled and that other arrangements

the movement OF its trains between

the NJ. & st. L. and the Iowa Central
have used the Rock Island tracks be-

again in Minnesota trains from the NJ.
& St l.. used the Illinois Central tracks
into the Twin Cities the same as the
Rock Island uses the Milwaukee lines
to reach that destination. The new life
put into the Hawley lines by the recent
mergers has brought about the change
and it is the first step toward the in
dependent movement of trains.

New Work For Farm Boys.
Inter Ocean.1


About eleven years ago the heads of
the College of Agriculture Of Cornell
University conceived the plan of organ
izing the boys and girls of New York
state into agricultural clubs. The boys
quickly responded to the idea Of having
corn growing contests and the girls
were more than willing to show what
they could do in the line of bread-mak-
ing and sewing.
Today more than $50, 900 boys and
girls in the United States are enrolled
in junior agricultural clubs. In their
various contests they are learning the
reasons for success and failure in
growing various crops, in the dairy, the
apiary. the poultry yard. and in the
kitchen and all parts of the home.
In New York state, where the idea
originated, there are $4,000 children in
the junior agricultural clubs organized
in every county to study the raising of
corn, vegeta bles, fruit and poultry and
how to cook and sew. Nebraska ranks
second. with $4,000 children in junior
agricultural clubs, organized in fifty
nine out of the ninetyone counties in
the state North Dakota, Ohio, Missis-
sippi and Indiana each has about 5000
children in these clubs.
1t is not greatly to the credit of this
state that these clubs have been or
ganized in only two Of orr 102 coun-
ties and the total enrolment is only
LOO. Even Oklahoma has over 1000
children in its clubs in forty counties
These clubs, as a rule, are made
auxiliary to the common schools and
are conducted under the auspices 81

British old-Age Pensions.

In the United Kingdom the whole
expense of the old-age pensions is
borne by the state, neither employers
nor employees contributing as is re,
quired in other countries. When the
British bill was passed it was esti-
mated that there were in Ireland 49,.
COO persons 70 years old or over. 1t
was expected that fair proportion OF
this estimate would be ineligible to
the pension, but the number entitled
to the relief was found to be 1900
in excess of the estimated total OF
persons 70 years. old. Paupers, as well
as those having incomes above q
designated minimum, are ineligible to
the old-age pensions.

al department. Of agriculture. Condi-
tons are specified for all contests. For
example, in a corn-g growing contest a
certain area of land must be planted
under definite rules and the prizes go
to the boys who grow the best or the
most corn.
The results attained in these clubs
are practical. The boys learn to OBJ
serve more closely, to recognize good
and bad qualities in the products; they
learn the value of labor. the cost of
production and the keeping Of simple
accounts with different farm and house
mold affairs; their visits to fairs, agrl-
cultural colleges, highly developed
farms and other places of interest
broaden their views and make them
better citizens as well as better farm
erS.
Another marked result of the work Of
the boys and girls in their clubs has
been an awakening of the interest of
their parents in better farming. better
housekeeping and better living. Speak
ing of these clubs. Professor f. W.
Howe. OF the United States depart
ment of agriculture, says:
THE influence upon the communities
at large, the parents as we'll as the chill
dren, has been wholesome. Beginning
with an awakened interest in one thing
better seed corn, for eNample-com-
munities have rapidly extended the in
terest to other features of rural i'm
provement, with the result that in the
regions affected by the agricultural
club movement there has come about
a general upward trend in the thoughts
and activities of the people
BY making farming more attractive
and profitable these junior agricultural
clubs are lessening the temptations of
city life for country boys. The modern
farmer finds as much use for brains
and education is one needs to be sue
cessful in any of the professions. There
is trend back to the SOIL for more
reasons than one. and it is well there is.
