Mr. Cooks condition has been critical
ever since the attack OF aDpOpIexy- The
graveness OF his Illness has been in
creased through the fact that this Is
the second stroke and by the further
fact that Mr. Cook is in his sixty-ninth

That a number Of Washington minis

came known today when the Rev Her

tist Church, and the Rev. +. ". John

WORK Of CLEANING
STREETS STOPPED
Depletion of Funds and
Lack of LaborerS Given
as Reason.

Too strict economy in previous years
in spending the then liberal appropriation
for removing snow and ice from the
streets Is held responsible for the IN
cleared streets Of Washington today
Work was stopped on the streets this
morning by order Of the Commissioners
They believe that the $1,000 appropria-
don for the removal OF snow and ice
has been already too far depleted to
warrant further expense in putting men
to work on the streets when the ice
and snow remains frozen fast by the
cold snap that visited the city last night
So until the sun IOosens the crust, It is
likely that the huge piles Of snow which
make the streets unsightly and the
pavements dangerous to an alarming
extent, more than a score Of persons al
ready having been injured by falls, viii
remain where they lie.
Three Remedies.
Protesting citizens declare there are
three remedies needed 10 prevent repeti-
tions Of present conditions.
The first Is additional funds to be OBJ
tanned from Congress
The second IS the passage Of legislation
compelling househOlders to clear pave
ments in front Of their places
The third is that the car companies OF
Washington be compelled by legislation
10 cart away the three-fo0t hummocks
Of almost solid ice which nne their
rights Of way after the passage Of
snow-plOw cars
1t is likely the existing conditions will
continue, as the weather forecast for
tonight and Wednesday Is fair but
colder, with temperature to drop TO IS
degrees, so hat little OF no relief is in
sight.
In Past Years.
While Congress has been blamed sor a
failure to appropriate sufficient snow
and ice funds. the record OF eppropria-
ticns for 1910, made In 1893. shows that

according TO what information the po-

RAPE A GOOD FORAGE CROP
Missouri Farmers Slow to Realize Its
Valuable Features.

Missouri Farmers Slow to Realize Its
Valuable Features.
The value OF rape as a forage crop
! for hogs has never been fully appre-
ciatsd by the farmers of Missouri.
Rape is valuable on account of the
cheapness of the pasture and the
tauantity of feed furnished, and also
because it adds variety to the ration
and is valuable at a time when rationS
may be short.
An average growth of rape will sup
ply pasture for twelve to twenty hogs
to the acre. With very rank growth.
it will supply feed for twenty-five or
thirty head Under ordinary condi-
tons where the feeding period is to
extend from ten to fourteen weeks,
ii is advisable to pasture at the rate
of ten to twelve per acre.
Rape is sown early in the spring as
soon as danger Of frost is over and
will furnish pasture beginning with
the middle OF May until the third week
in August. 1t is very good forage
when sown alone, but the best results
are obtained when oats and clover are
s0Wn with it. Sow from four to six
pounds of rape ahead of the drill and
then drill in one bushel of oats per
acre and six TO ten pounds of clover
seed.
If rape is not grazed too closely in
the spring so that the stalk is no.
eaten of. it may grow up and make
fall pasture. Il should never be pas.
tured too closely as it will die if all
the leaves are eaten off. 1t should
not be pastured until well developed
and is from fourteen to eighteen
inches high. N. NJ. G.

standing Broad Grin and
Long WHISTLE the
Chief Events.
A TIE IN THE HIGH JUMP
Relay Race Consisted of Eat
ing Soda Crackers With
out Choking.

The scene was Cosmos Hall. Its
walls were covered with flags OF many
educational in their scope Its floor
was cleared of impediments. In each
corner were posted rules and regula-
tons. Referees and other officials
were on hand. There were 10 preiim-
inaries. Entrants were selected by
the members of the different colleges
present, decorated with the flags and
colors they were TO defend TO the very
end. and sent into the arena with the
cheers of their supporters.
Smith, Smith, Smith must win
Victory for ever.
Arma virumque cano.
Now Smith, grin together"
sang the Northampton supporters, as
their team went manfully into the
standing broad grin.
Sing, Holyoke, sing;
Forget about missions and such crazy
things;
A purpose in life is an enviable thing
But now. for heavens sake sing"
The Holyoke team just had to come
out on top in the high vocal jump al
ter that.
"We're only a Scrlb team
But we're not dub team.
Play, scrub, play"
cried the contestants who had repre-
sented the large number of colleges
and universities which pooled their
interests temporarily so as to have a
full team in all the events.
The Long Drop.
The long drop was the first event.
"On your mark! set co." doomed the
megaphone.
A long line OF fearless athletes stood
stoicalIy on the field At the feet of
each was milk bottle. Without bend
ing over. they mechanically raised
their right hands TO their chins and
one after the other dropped ten beans
each, trying to have them go into the
bottle. 1t sounds easy. Well, then,
try it. The scrubs won first place
and their highest score was four beans
out of ten Holyoke and Vassar tied
for second place.
Then came the high jump. A, yard,
stick between two chairs was used.
Get over it somehow. without knock
ing it down, was the only condition
Thus Smith. Vassar and the scrub
team tied for the first place.
The standing broad grin was the
third event.
A Holyoke girl, exhausted but tri
umphant, saved the honor OF her alma
mater She grinned just three and
one-half inches. The Smith grinnerS
were pretty good. but they could not
touch that mark The scrubs came
grinning into third place.
Vocal High Jump.
Holyoke struck the highest note Il
the vocal high jump. Wellesley vocal
lists climbed almost to the top of the
upper register and again the scrubs
were third.
The long whistle lasted just twelve
seconds by the stop watch. That was
Vassar girl
The relay race was the final and
also the browning event. A long row
of chairs. three deep, was prepared
Then the victims took their seats. To
each girl in the first row was given
nice dry soda cracker. Before each
girl in the front row was judge. Al
