MISSES GRACE AND
VINCENT IN FINALS
Play This Afternoon for Champion
ship in Women's Handicap
Golf Match.

Fixing rules to suit themselves,
Misses Elizabeth Mott and Nancy
Grace decided that it would be all
right if they would conclude their golt
match in the women's handicap semi
finals at the end of the 18th hole,
thereby allowing Miss Grace to win
the match because she was up at the
time. Miss Mott refused to finish the
match and Miss Grace concluded her
afternoons play at the same time. The
rain interfered, and that was the pri-
mary reason for the abrupt ending.
Ordinarily Miss Grace, as we'll as Miss
Mott, would be eliminated from fur
Their play in the contest. But the wo-
men have stretched the rules some
what, and at a late hour today Miss
Grace intended playing with Miss
Helen Vincent In the finals for the
cup. Miss Vincent defeated Miss Alice
Ficke yesterday, up 2, thereby win
ming the right to play in the finals.
The rules of the game give her the
cup, the golf experts say, but the fair
sex has apparently decided differently.

OBJECTS TO ARREST;
SAYS HE WAS DOPED
Ike Leighton Claims 1t Takes More
Than Two Glasses of Booze to
Down Him,

Claiming that the two glasses of
beer which he drank in a down town
saloon last night, we're doped, Ike
Leighton objected to being arrested
and locked in a cell at the police
station. He maintains that he was
not drunk, but doped. He states that
he left home with his wife to go to
vaudeville performance and that
he left his wife to ticker" up. The
two beers finished the evening for
him, and though he had no money
when he left home, he thinks that
someone doped him just the same.
He was dismissed from custody af-
ter he had said that he would sign
a pledge and stay away from the am

DOGS GHOST KEEPS
DEAD ANIMAL ALIVE
So Claims Officer Johnson When
Told That Canine He Had Shot
Was Still Weighing.

Feeling certain that he had put an
end to the miseries of a canine that
had become a burden and nuisance
to the owners as we'll as the neigh
bors, Oficer Johnson notified the
health department this morning to
come to Twenty-sixth street near
Fifth avenue, to remove the carcass
of said animal. When Frank Kurtz
arrived on the scene, he found doz-
ems of people gathered about the dog
that was supposed to be dead and
upon investigation found that it was
still wiggling and moaning, showing
that the bullet had only temporarily
stunned the brute. He finished the
job. Officer Johnson was advised of
the incident and naturally he was
'2zidded" somewhat by fellow Off
GERS. He swears that he dispatched
the dog and that it was merely the
ghost of the brute that caused the
motion and noise.

LIGHTS OFF TWO HOURS.
The electric light circuit which
serves the south central portion of the
city was the only one Of the Peoples
Power company circuits that suffered
any considerable damage. 1t was out
OF order for about two hours from S

people whom IL supplies had TO use
gas or other light. The other circuits
about town experienced several minor
disorders but the lights burned stead

than a minute.

This vicinity escaped the worst part
of the storm as shown by records in
the government weather bureau. AT
Peoria and at Des Mofnes, south and
west of here, the rainfall was fully
three times as heavy as here and the
damage was more than three times as
serious. At no place, however, was
any considerable injury reported.

need OF MORE
FARM KNOWLEDGE
BANKING INTERESTS AMAZING
TO NEEDS or BETTER AGRI-
CULTURAL CONDITIONS - THE
BANKS AS RELATED TO THE
FARMING INDUSTRY.

The Northwestern National bank OF
Minneapolis publishes a little paper
monthly called The Review, and in the
last issue Is an article on the advance
OF profitable education, which deals
especially with agricultural develop
ment. 1t shows the close connection
between banking industries and the
farmers of the nation and evidences
that the financial interests OF the
country are awakening to the neces-
sity OF better agricultural conditions
existing in all sections of the union.
The whole article is very interest
ing but the two following paragraphs
will show the trend Of the argument
advanced by The Review.
The farmers bulletins Of the u. s,
department OF agriculture have for a
number Of years reached many of the
farmers and their teachings have been
very profitable. The agricultural
schools have done and are doing a
vast amount Of practical service, not
only in research but in actual instruc-
ton. Their students carry their
knowledge back to the whole neigh
borhood. The farmers wives are
reached through special publications
devoted to dairying. sanitation, cook
ing and housekeeping. The latest and
perhaps the greatest step is carrying
profitable education to the children on
the farm.
TOO much stress cannot be laid up
on the economic Importance of prac-
tical education of children on the
farm. The scope Of the work is i'm
mense, and in addition to the cultural
advantage derived from the improve
ment OF the farm home that will re-
suit from scientific education of the
farmers wives and children, large
increase in production and ultimate
wealth is in sight for the farmer. I'm
der the common wasteful system of
farming our land became less produc-
tiverfrom year to year and the dimin-
fishing return is gained by a con-
stantly increasing measure of labor.
Intelligent farming will not even in
crease the yield and diminish the Ia
Dor required. Scientific agriculture
lie conservation in the most profitable
form because II is productive conser-
walton, and 1t can best be encouraged
by teaching the children OF today, who
will be the farmers Of tomorrow, how
to make the farm pay dividends and
at the same time furnish healthful
and happy home for the most valu-
able Of all farm products useful
