RETURNS TO SAN ANTONIO.

Having finished installing the wire
less station at A. & NJ. college, Mr..
j, B. Dickinson returned Saturday to
his headquarters in San Antonio He
will return to Bryan in July, after a
visit to Boston, and, as stated Friday,
will then establish wireless telephone
communication between Bryan and
College. He expects also upon that
visit to make preliminary arrange
ments for erecting the wireless tele-
graph station in Bryan, which will
have a voltage of either three or five
kilowats Mr. Dickinson says the sta
ton at College is working perfectly,
and that it has already proven itself
the best small station yet built.
Mr. Dickinson says many expert
mentors are developing improvements
in wireless telegraphy, and that it re-
quires constant vigilance and frequent
changes to keep up-to-date. He is
adopting the new ideas as fast as
their value is demonstrated.

VIOLATING DIVINE LAWS.

The ideas of men are changing.
There was time when a large part
OF the people piled the result Of their
own mistakes on the Almighty and
let 1t go at that. A baby died. The
weeping relatives were comforted
with the assurance that God had con-
cluded to pluck this fair flower and
to transplant it to the Garden of Par
adise.
There was good deal of beautiful
rhetoric wasted on this sort of talk
but when you come to think it over
it seems mighty unfair to the AL
mighty. Why should He desire to kill
off the innocent babes? 1t Is good
deal more reasonable to believe that
He would desire the babes to grow up
into sound and healthful and useful
citizen, instead of putting them here
just long enough to become objects
of love, and then take them away.
This doesn't seem just or fair, and it
| is impossible for right-thinking per-
son to conceive of an all-powerful and
all-wise God being unfair or unjust.
The fact is that the baby was the
victim of ignorance, Somebody who
had it in charge or some of its an
cestors had violated the divine law OF
health, and the baby's life was sacri-
feed.
Every man or woman who fails to
live out the natural life-term of seven
ty or eighty years at any rate, is the
victim of either ignorance or willful
Idisobedience Of the divine law by
which the world is governed. 1t may
be that the fault Is not that of the
individual. His ancestors may have
been at fault, and the sins of the
father are certainly visited on the
children, even to the third and fourth
generations.
The world is slowly coming to
recognize this physiological truth.
Every case of sickness Is case Of
violated law. The violation may be
the result of ignorance or it may IA
the result of willful disobedience. But
don't try to lay your mistakes or
ignorance and follies onto the AL
mighty. His laws are just, but i'm
mutable. They can not be violated
with impunity. The penalty must be
paid The violators may be forgiven
for his sins, but that will not relieve
him from paying the penalty for
breaking the laws that are divine

PROF. EVANS TALKS Of
DOMESTIC ECONOMY
Shows How the Housewife Can Re-
duce Cost of Living by Produc-
ing Foods at Home.

That the average housewife, with
the occasional help of the man about
the place, can reduce the cost of liv-
ing by careful selection of nutritious
foods that may be produced at home,
is the opinion of C. NJ. Evans, super
intendent of the college extension de-
partment of A. & NJ. college.
"A great deal has been said about
the increased cost of living" said Mr.
Evans. statistics show that in 1909
we had to pay 1912 for food neces-
stiles that would have cost us $3.42
in 1896. During these thirteen years
wheat enhanced in value "a per cent,
corn 113 per cent, potatoes, sheep and
swine 100 per cent, while pork went
up 210 per cent. The average income
of the family has not increased in
proportion TO this increased cost OF
living. Statistics show that the aver
age income for family of five is $3.50
per year. This means that great
majority of families have less in
come than $3.50; in fact, many will
range from $500 to $3.50. Increased
wages have not helped the matter be
cause a great deal of foodstuff used
is the finished product of factories,
and as soon as wages are raised the
9, tho nripnG nf
their products to pay these wages.
The burden of the increased cost
of living has fallen on the average
man. He is living today almost alto
gether on factory products. Breakfast
food is a factory product, and likewise
is oleomargarine, condensed cream,
bacon. sausage. canned fruit, etc. His
problem is largely a problem in the
selection of foodstuffs and must be
solved almost entirely by a more
scientific understanding of food prod
ucts and nutrition by the housewife.
The problem of the average man in
the small town or country can be
solved today to great extent by the
kitchen garden, poultry and the dairy
COW. The equipment needed would be
a small plot of ground, twelve to
fifteen hens and one mich COW. The
hens can be fed largely on waste prod
ucts from the table. The greatest eX'
pense in the production of the garden
would be the small outlay for seeds,
and if no pasture or cheap feed is
available it will cost from IS to $40
to feed dairy COW. In that case it
would not be a paying proposition to
keep the COW unles sit is large fam
lily or some of the product could be
sold
"The average family is considered
fairly well fed if the menu will aver

of the old fellow who buys the new

Canadian Pacific Is Considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of Building Through
This Fertile Territory.

According to press dispatches. New
Ulm is in line to receive recognition
from the Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk railroads, who propose to con-
struct a road from Winnipeg, Can
ada, through North Dakota and Min
nesota to Chicago, in order to obtain
a direct route between these two i'm
portant business centers.
The New Ulm Journal says: If
these plans materialize, New Ulm
will be the central point on the line,
being situated about 435 miles dis
tant from either city, and its railroad
facilities would then be unexcelled
by any city of it's size in the state.
A direct route to Chicago would
mean a reduction of freight rates on
livestock, wheat and other farm
products for which this vicinity is
justly famous.
The press dispatches failed to state
when it was proposed to commence
the construction work, but it is be
lieved that operations will begin as
soon as definite plan has been laid
out.
OF course road of that character
could hardly afford to pass up city
like Mankato.

st. Paul, May 9.-According to in
formation received by C. ii. Comp
ton, chief of the Burns detective
agency in Minneapolis, and Charles
Brown of Minneapolis, chief of the
Tri-State Bankers Protective asso-
citation, the highwayman who was
killed at Patton, Iowa, Sunday by a
sheriff's posse was Jerry Mccarthy,
one of the convicts who escaped
from the state penitentiary at Still
water on Saturday, March 4, last.
The kilograms to Brown and Comp
ton say that the wounded highway
man was Peter Juhl, McCarthy's
partner in the daring escape.
The last report of the two es-
capped cOnvicts was at Des Moincs,
Iowa. 1t is believed that they were
the men who made an unsuccessful
attempt to blow the safe in the
county treasurer's office, Des Moines.
Mccarthy and Juhl escaped from
the saltwater prison more than two
months ago. They made keys, I'M
locked their cell doors, scaled the
walls and disappeared.
Mccarthy was one of the men who
attempted to rob the pOstoffice al
Sherburn several years ago and was
captured after chase. He was sen.
fenced to the penitentiary at Still
water by Judge Lochren.
