town report OF the state convention was
given by those attending and matters relative
to the rural school were discussed. Professor
Mcfarland of Middlebury College visited
school in the morning and gave a short address
to the scholars. He said in part: The longer
our period of infancy, the greater will be our
period of usefulness. The birds are helpless
but fe W hours or few days at the most after
birth. The animals but little longer. With
mankind it is a matter of years. Our school
days are part of our infancy. The boy who
goes to work at fifteen reaches the maximum
power at from thirty to forty and then his use
fulness declines The boy who goes through
high school does not attain his highest position
in life as easily but when he does attain it, it is
higher place and he holds it longer. While
the man who has the college and technical
training does not get his start until after the
others but with him it is a steady increase OF
usefulness with no period of simple old age
when he is the of his children Professor
Mcfarland encouraged the scholars to remain
i'll school and to fit themselves for long period
of usefulness.
A lyceum will be held at the Academy Hall
this Friday evening. The subject Tor debate is
Resolved that the government should own

citation will be made.
The lecture given by Professor Mcfarland
i'll the opera hall Saturday evening was well

Enter tainment Course

The popularity of the course of enter
tainments arranged for this season is
well indicated by the large number of
persons who secured, seats for the
course at Thurston's, Wednesday.
The many favorable comments
coming from points where the same at
fractions are already being put on as
sures us that these people have not been
mistaken in their judgment. There are
some of our towns-people however, who
do not realize that the first entertain.
ment is next Thursday night, and they
would profit by needing this reminder
to get their course tickets and have
their seats reserved before they are all
taken.
Seats for one night may be reserved on
the day of the entertainment, Nov. 2, at
fifty cents. Admission thirty-five cents.
Children under twelve years old, fifteen
cents.

He was born in Ireland but wa.
brought to Canada in his infancy and

The unusual and dense fog that hung over Phoenix yesterday morning. was chiefly responsible for two street car collisions that occurred almost simultaneously. injuring seven persons and badly shaking up several others. Two of the injured were motormen. the other five being passengers. That there were no fatalities is as remark able as it was fortunate.
 One of the collisions was on Wash ington street between Fourth and Fifth. between a Washington street car and a Grand aveniue car. Clarence Gallagher, motorman on the Wash ington street car was the only person injured though others on the car were severely shaken. The other accident occurred just north of Van Buren street. As an Indian school car north bound. was leaving the bridge over the town ditch it ran into we'll filled south bound ear from the Hrill

UNDER A CLOUD.

Gov Vardaman seems to be going into the senate under a cloud. What d shock it must be to the galleries that so often applauded his grand stand acts of honesty and courage to hear that the attorney general of his own state of Mississippi has brought suit to compel Varlaman to make an accounting of several thousand IOi- lars of state money. It is intimated that Vardaman padded some of his junket and expense bills. and that he did not keep his personal deposits di- vorced from certain state funds in the bank.
 This circumstance might pass almost unnoticel were it not for the fierce show of self-righteousness Nardaman always made. It was the tom tom that he beat while governor and dur ing his spectacular campaign for sen ator. Of course. he may not have done anything radically wrong: he may be able to satisfy the attorney general when the time comes. but it is strange that. if that be the case. the attorney general should be so poorly informed of the facts as to feel under necessity of going to the trouble of bringing suit to get an explanation.

Clifford Pinchot is just now mov- ing on as low a plane as any man who is able to get his name and opinions in the newspapers. A legatee of the Roosevelt administra ton. he was kept in office by Presi- dent Taft until his insubordination caused his discharge. Now he is attempting to vent his petty spleen upon the president by abuse and vilification. The strange part of it is. not that Pinchot possesses so small a caliber but that he managed so long to hold a government posi- ton. He is an enigma of littlencss, a rather startling example Of a man who has permitted real ability to be cIouded and nullified by personal pique at the loss of d salary.

RUBBER FROM THE OSAGE
 ORANGE.

Experiments made by Prof H. w. Emerson and C. L. Reese. at the Uni versity of Kansas, demonstrates that the Osage orange will yield a product that may be mixed with rubber to inn prove it's quality. or may be used in place of rubber. The milky substance oxuding from the hedge balls is what the chemists have worked on. Rubber is obtained as a milky substance from the rubber trees of the tropics.
 The Osage orange is said to be a native of Arizona and by others to be a native of the region that was in- habited by the Osage Indians. which included part of the present state of Arkansas. It is also called bowwood because its fine grain and elastic property caused it to be employed by the Southern Indians for bows. It is easily cultivated and propagated The bark yields a strong fiber of a flaXy character, and the bark of the root is used to make a yellow dye
