The farmers of the great state OF
illinois have established what is
known as the illinois Farmers Hall
of Fame. Each year they place therein
a painting of some man who has been
noted for his valuable assistance to
the great science Of agricultural.
This hall of fame is known as the
memorial hall, and is situated with
the State Agricultural College at
Urbana. The first picture installed
in this hall was that of Cyrus HI. Nc
Cormick, the inventor of the first
reaping machine. This year it falls
on James Nicholas Brown, one of the
greatest farmers Illinois ever pro-
duced. The memorial exercises will
be held on the 25th. day Of January,

has advanced during the past year, or
whether it has been going backwards.
1t is an unfortunate fact that in many,
many farmers homes, there is no
fixed determination to make the home
what it should be. Often we find the
father and mother overworked and dis
couraged and who have visions of
moving to town. Too often we find
the young folks longing for the bright
lights, the apparently better COM
partnership, and the better advantages
which are afforded by the city. 1t is
an unfortunate fact, that in many of
our best farming states, the farming
population is actually decreasing.
In rural districts OF Iowa, Missouri,
Indiana and illinois these great
wealthy states where the soil responds
as if by magic, while the cities have
added thousands and ten thousands,
then farming population has decreased,
and in some states, very mater tally.
The large farms have become larger
and the small farms are becoming
obsolete. This is exactly the reverse
of what it should be. The large farms
should be cut up into small tracts
and the men in the city who are
struggling with might and main to
meet their rents and high cost of
living should be placed on these small
farms. and have a chance to gain in
dependence and health. Our cities
are overcrowded, while the farms are
crying for men.
Every farmers family should take
just pride in their farms. They
should build their homes with modern
conveniences, and the children should
take pride in the farm and expect to
make it their life long home. The
farm home should be equally as con-
venient and equally as attractive as
the city home, and in these days OF
rural delivery, telephones, cheap
magazines, newspapers and cheap
books, a life in the country could be
made as pleasant and certainly much
more profitable than life in the city.
Not the home alone should be con-
sidered, but the neighborhood in
which the farmer resides is equally,
if not more important than anything

FORMER RESIDENT IS CALLED BY
 DEATH
Dr. D. Pentland Expires Suddenly at Home
 In RedlandS
GRIEF OVER REPORTED KILLINz OF SONS IN MEXICO
 HASTENS END.
(FTOm Saturdays Daily)

Telegrams received yesterday from. Redlands, Cal, convey the sad news that pr. D. Pentland, until a few years ago a resident of this city, had suddenly passed away Thursday night. and giving the additional informa- tion that Mrs. Pentland, was so seri- Ously shocked over the death of her husband, that her life is despaired of. In order to be of any assistance in the dark hour lowering over the home, of his parents in that city, Wilmot Pentland, a son, left yesterday to be with his two sisters and their stricken, mother, in their hour of gloom and sorrow.
 Dr. Pentland's death is believed to. have resulted from worry over the, fate of his two sons, Harold and Walter, residing in Mexico who. it is believed, have been killed by in surreetos. They were employed in responsible positions by American mining companies in the zone of hOstilities and until a few weeks ago were heard from regularly. Press reports gave accounts of many Amer jeans being killed and the aged and anxious father, could no longer bear the burden of the heavy suspense, and passed away from no other cause than that of ineonsolable grief.
 Mrs. Pentland has been i'll for some time and it is supposed the probable death of her two sons and that of her husband, is too serious shock for her to survive
 Dr. Pentland while a resident of this city for many years, was highly regarded by all as an exemplary eiti- zen and useful member of society With his devoted wife he was q true Christian and possessed also a pleas ing personality. He was born in Kingston, Canada, in 1881, and when, a boy, had as a sehOolmate David lHhcH, SupcIluiehutnI Ol the OOIuIl poor farm. Relatives surviving in ad- dition to his wife, are two daughters, the Misses Bertha and Florence Pent- land, who were with him, and four sons, WilmOt of this city, Edward of Mayer, and Harold and Walter of Mexico
 Pending the outcome of the re- eovery of Mrs. Pentland, no definite burial place will be named. It Is, probable, however, the remains will, be brought to this city and laid be- side those of two daughters and three sons who are buried in the Masonic cemetery of which order the deceased was a member. The family has the tender sympathy of all in their deep. bereavement.

INSANE PAINTER IS SENT ID

ImagineS He is Head Of Painting Trust Of
 Jerome
DEVOTED WIFE AND HER FOUR LITTLE ONES RELATE
 PATHETIC STORY.
CFrom Saturday's Dailyl

Under the charge of being dement, ed at intervals from the use of morphine and other Opiates for sev- eral years, J. H. Metzzler. of Je- rome, was yesterday committed to the territorial insane asylum at Phoenix. During his examination he was sev- erely grilled by the examining physi- eians. for the wanton neglect of his wife and four children, all of whom were present at Judge Hicks office, and substantiated the charges against him.
 The story of the woman and her children, which Metzzler eOrrobOrated, was pathetic. He stated that he was occupying the head of the painting trust in that city and, with that unique distinction, did not desire his wife to perform any labor. On the other hand he refused to support her or the children and for disobed- fence had attempted to take their lives on several occasions In addi- ton he made various attempts to commit suicide, but was frustrated.
 Metzzler, according to Chief of Po- lice Fred Hawkins of Jerome, has been arrested for abusing his indus triOus wife many times during the past three years, and becoming viO- lent recently, it was deemed exped- tent to have him examined on an charge in the hope that con- finement may restore his mental fac ulties to a normal state. He was taken to the asylum yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Joe Young.

$l75 FOR CITY
BOOSTING SIGNS
Trade Board Encouraged in
Efforts to Bring New
Business Here

Activities of the local Board Of
Trade in their endeavors to develop
this city are meeting with consider
able success. A few weeks ago the
board discussed the installation Of
electric signs along the railroad
tracks as a good way of advertising
the city as manufacturing center.
Already this has met with the hearty
support OF several leading citizens,
these men having already sent their
checks for various amounts to the
secretary.
The largest contributor to the fund
so far is r. Coleman DUPONT, who
heads the list with $1O0. Others who
have sent their checks are; The
American Tobacco Company, $50;
William p. Bancroft, $40; William F
Kurtz, $40; James Meharg, S5. These
sums will go for the erection Of the
signs. The receipts are very crafty
ing to the members Of the Board OF
Trade, and although the fund is not
enough to erect all the signs neces-
sary. 1t is a good start and they fee
that other contributions will be forth
coming soon.

tracks of the B. and o. Railroad at the
foot of McKees Hill. held a meeting
yesterday and considered ways and
means for the construction of the
road.
The committee decided that the road
should be built by all means, and
think that it will not be very diff
cult to get the highway through.
Three properties Will be effected by
the new road. These are those Of
Isaac c. Elliott, William Gardner and
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company. The two former have
agreed to let the road go over their
properties for a fair return and the
commissioners do not think that much
opposition will be made by the rail-
road company.
There will have to be an overhead
bridge built at the B. and 0. Railroad
and this, It is thought, will be met
with some objection by the railroad.

are: Jackson Pierce, Joseph l.. Car

New Castle Gets No Offices.
Il will be observed that New Castle
county did not get an Office I'm the
House. After surrendering their de-
mand for the election Of Representa-
tive Alfred B. Moore, Of Wilmington,
as Speaker. the New Castle county
Republican members decided to refuse
to take any offices in the House. They
said they did this to demonstrate that
their stand behind Mr.. Moore was
really because of a principle that they
believed New Castle county. because
Of having the most Republican mem
bers of any county, was entitled to
first choice of officers of the House,
and not because they desired to try
10 capture the Offices of the House.
When the Republican members went
into caucus shortly before 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. the New Castle cOun-
ty members stated that they would not
take any of the offices, as was told In
THE JOURNAL yesterday. They said
they would vote for the officers TO be
nominated on the floor by the Kent
and Sussex members. The lower
counties tried TO get New Castle coun-
ty to take some OF the House patron
age, but the upper county men de-
clined.

There is no doubt, too, that the mem
bers of the House believed that their
action in electing a Speaker and the
other officers of the House would have
an important bearing in fastening or
ganization Of the Senate. II was felt
that the election of Representative
Campbell as Speaker, a man who comes
from Senator Drexler's own Senatorial
district, would weaken the claim OF Sen
ator Drexler for a Sussex man, and par
ticularly himself. for president pro tenn
of the Senate.

position by the House members was felt
