Sweethearts in Sweden
Spread Cattle Disease

Not long ago the spread OF foot
and mouth disease in Sweden was at
tributed by an eminent authority to
sea gulls and other birds, which in
troduced the germs of the malady
from infected areas in north Ger
many. In upper Austria, too, the dis
ease prevails among the cattle, and
a very remarkable explanation of it
has been accepted by the local au-
thorities.
1t is the old recognized custom
among young farm hands on the ist
lated homesteads there to go court
ing the maids on other farms in the
evening on the Romeo and Juliet
plan; that is she leans out of a win
dow, while the swain stands outside
Just within reach of her hand. This
"Fensternlgehen," as it is locally
called, is now held TO be responsible
for the spreading of the cattle dis
ease through germs carried on clothes
or boots from infected to clean farms.
''Fensternlgehen" is now forbidden
on pain Of fines and imprisonment!

SCORE OFFICIALS ON
FR|AR LAND DEALS
Minority Report Asserts
Rights of Natives Are
Given Aliens.

Officials of the Philippine government
are charged with shameless evasion OF
the land laws of the Philippine islands.
in the report Of the Democratic minority
of the House Insular Affairs Committee
on the friar land investigation.
The report, filed at noon today. is
signed by Representatives Jones of Vir-
ginia, Page of North Carolina, Garrett
of Tennessee, Denver of Ohio, and Helm
of Kentucky. The other two Democrats.
Fornes of New York and Rucker OF
Colorado, concurred in the majority re-
port, generating the Philippine OF
ficialS.
Minority Conclusions.
The Democratic minority reaches the
following conclusions:
That the Philippine Commission erred
in differentiating between agricultural
public lands and "friar lands" and
THAT its sales of friar lands, contrary
to the provisions laid down by Ct OF
Congress for the sale of public lands,
were illegal and unauthorized.
That the Philippine Commission erred
in constituting the act OF congress IN
such way as to permit aliens 10 pur-
chase public lands, which the Demo-
cratic minority declares the law spe-
cifically and clearly provides shall be
sold only to natives. T.,
That because of these two errors III
law Interpretation the commissions ac-
ton in selling public lands to officers
of the Government and in selling friar
lands in tracts greater than forty acres
to individuals and $500 acres TO cor
porations was Illegal and improper.
That the commission has aided Few
Americans, closely connected with the
Sugar trust, 20 exploit the lands OF the
islands against the interests of the Fill
pinos, by selling them large tracts, in
violation of law.
Right to Purchase Limited.
The minority contends that there can
be no question that the right to pur-
chase public lands is clearly limited
to natives. If the opposite policy of
the island government is continued, TIE
minority contends. a system of absent
will be built up, and the
natives reduced to dependents. After
discussing the law points in detail and
citing the land transactions between the
Philippine government and aliens VINO
have acquired land, the minority says:
considering these astounding facts
II is difficult to escape the conclusion
that the land laws of the Philippines
are being evaded in the most shame
less manner, even If we can be mis-
taken in our construction of thos"
laws"

House Does Little
During the Session

With but little to do. the House spent
a wearisome night awaiting the Senate's
action on appropriation bills and the
report of conferees on the various moi
ey-carrying measures. At daybreak the
House agreed to the conference report
on the naval appropriation bill. Mr..
Foss made a final effort to eliminate
the eight-hour law provision relating to
the construction of battleships. declar-
ing that the Government. in the interest
Of economy, ought not to be bound by
the eight-hour law in this respect.
The House showed no disposition to
disagree to the section, however, and it
remained in. The naval increase went
through as originally provided for by
the House.

Furtive Look Indicates
Bachelors, Says Woman

Here is something worth while for
bachelors to consider.
A Boston woman says she can detect
a bachelor as far as she can see him.
She always knows a bachelor by his
furtive look. The furtive look, she ex
plains, is something akin to that of a
hunted animal, always on the watch
for snares and pitfalls.
OF course, this may apply only to Bos
ton bachelors, but 1t would be well for
all other single unfortunates to take a
good look at themselves in the mirror
and find that tell-tale look. If they do
there is an easy way to efface it.-Plain

and success of the next generation of
farmers in this country. he said, de-
ponds to a large degree on their early

the public schools have a most i'm

Prof Roberts declared that in this
direction the short courses and corn

are doing a great work. He said they
were serving to interest and enthuse

In this connection Prof. G. /. Chris

clared the corn schools are of great
