In Wisconsin. told by the State Geolo-

The man had thousand bushels OF
potatoes in the cellar which he was
holding for good prices An offer OF
30 cents came in March, but, as he said,
the roads were so bad that the only
way he could get to town was by tele-
phone. BY the time the roads finally
dried out he obtained only 80 cents the
bnsilsl for his potatoes.
Bad roads cost that farmer more
than 5000, sum more than suficien,

The amount of money handled by
some of these cities is enormous. In

built the. largest and most expensive
railway station in the world. While
the state owns the railway great

hands of the Leipsic county Officers

Almost all of the larger animals

life has been diminished even more
than animal life, and with more harm

creased in proportion. with very de-
structive consequences. The bringing
of wild land into cultivation would nat
urally be attended by a reduction OF
wild animal life, but reckless, contin-
uous shooting simply for the sake of
killing is the chief cause of this de-
plorabie slaughter of the animal life

DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND SOCIETY.

Professor John w. Curtis. head of the
vocational department of the Memphis
public schools. declares that domestic
science benefits society. He is right
about it.
In 1907 the teachers In thlrty-four
rural schools in Wright County. Geor-
gia. were requested to ask their pupils
If they liked farm life and wished to
keep on in It, or 1914 boys. 157 said that
they had no desire to be farmers. while
l67 girls out OF ia said that they did
not wish TO stay on tho farm. In 1910
the same query was put in the same
school, and 162 boys out of ia an
swered that they intended TO be farm
ers, while ISL girls out Of IFS preferred
rural life. During the interim be-
tween the first and second queries the
teaching of elementary agriculture and
home economics had been introduced
as part of the daily class work
This appears to answer the question:
How shall we keep the farmers chill
dren on the FARM"
All of this goes to Indicate that work
is made pleasant BY familiarity. "a
conscious knowledge OF equipment" In
this way society is arriving at neces-
sary solutions of problems. Skill in
domestic science or in mechanics or in
agriculture makes those fields OF labor
more attractive. More dignity is given
to them

FIFTY YEARS IN ADVANCE.

Tt Is only n question of time until
commission government shall prevail
throughout this country" said Pro-
lessor Frank s. Hoffman, head of the
philosophy department at Union Col
lege, New York, to representative OF
the Schenectady Union Star, in a re-
cent interview. DIR. Hoffman has Just
come back from Europe, where he
has been making careful study of mu-
nicipal conditions. Just before he left
this country three months ago. he was
appointed member of n commission
to make recommendations for the re-
vision of the city charter of Schenec-
tady, place of 1886 inhabitants by
the last census. DR.. Hoffman was desig-
mated to visit European cities and
make observations, and he. as q result
of his Investigations. is heartily in
favor of some form of commission
government for his home city
Dr. Hoffman began Investigating the
subject of commission government al
most rs soon as his steamer left New
York, as the Mayor of Christiania. Nor
way. was on board. For seventeen
years this mayor has been in office.
Christiania is practically governed by
commission. The mayor is nominally
appointed by the King. 1t is a beauti-
full modern city. of which no adverse
criticisms have ever been made.
In Germany, DIR. Hoffman visited
Hamburg. In 1897 that city was de-
vastated by the plague Now many
consider 1t the most sanitary. most
progressive and most beautiful city in
the world. More than one million oeo-
pie dwell within its gates. More
than 100000 have lately been expend-
ed on its harbor 1t is chiefly gov
erned by small body called the SEN
ate, the members OF which are elected
for life by the city council DIR. Hor-
man found no desire whatever on The
part of the citizens to have the method
of city government changed"
From Hamburg, DIR. Hoffman went
to Copenhagen, and to his surprise
found there one of the most attractive
and beautiful cities of Europe with
population larger than that o. Bos-
ton This city, too, is managed by d
small board OF experts.
The next city visited was Berlin, the
third largest city in the world, sur

and New York. The present mayor

of the rapid increase In population.

value as the primary system was de-
signed TO secure. How much the cam
paign cost in dollars and cents has
not yet been ascertained; but the
Baltimore American says: Senator
Lee. admits that he spent about s25. 900
in the primary campaign, and Senator
German that he spent about $1,000.
vi course these amounts do not begin
TO cover the real outlay of that hot
night for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination--e careful student of local
politics places the figures as far be-
yond 100000. This raises the practi

whether n primary law which re.
quires and even permits such an OUT

rich men is law to be desired. So.
Der Consideration of the question will
doubtless result in the conclusion that
many changes will have to be MADE in

Twenty-Five thousand dollars are a
good many dollars for any man to pay
for any office, and then to pay and
lose! The Governor of Maryland holds
office four years and is paid the annual
salary OF $4,000. Even il he had been
nominated and elected Governor. SEN
ator Lee-not counting what it would
cost him to live and support his fam
ily-would have received in the way
OF salary from the State $1,000 less
than the money paid by him for the
nomination. There Is something wrong
about any system which would make
such a condition as this possible. That

Newton Elkins of Bourbon Charged
With Stealing from His Employ
er-Bail Fixed at $3.50

Newton Elkins of Bourbon was
brought here Wednesday by Con-
stable Pelton and tried In Justice
Holloway's court. He was charged
with smbezzling money belonging to
his employer, Mr. Hall, owner of a
Bourbon meat market. Mr. Hall
states that for some time past he
had suspected Elkins of stealing
from him, and to be certain of this,
he hid in the store. and saw this
employee pocket 1888 insteadl- of
placing it in the cash register as he
should. Hall, to make the charge
doubly sure hired friend to watch
in the market and the friend also de-
tectsd the theft. 1t seems "Newt'
as he is called would not take a
great deal at one time, but small
amounts not so likely to be missed
Upon making these discoveries
Hall swore out a warrant and the
clerk was brought to this city fo1
trial.
Failing to paw his bail. which was
fixed at $3.50, Elkins was placed in
Jail, where he is waiting for some
friend to secure his release. Severa'
have been asked to do so, but as vet
no willing person has appeared.
