MAJOR LYDE cOKER'S RISE
Ruined by Civil War, He Has Fought
His Way to Affluenee and
Fame.

Major Lyde Cocker, the father Of
scientific farming in South Carolina,
is a native of that state, and was left
penniless after the Civil war. Prior
to the war he had studied chemistry
at Harvard, and in 1865 plowed his
ground with a sore-backed army
mule and a yoke of borrowed oxen.
He hoed in the fields with his few
faithful negro hands and sold his
cotton at good prices. His success
led to further experiments; he pros
pered and built a railroad to pave
the way for larger industries. He
is a banker, factory owner, cotton
grower and philanthropist founder
of Cocker college, a woman's school,
which he has literally endowed. At
Huntsville, his home town of some
$500 inhabitants, he has in opera
ton one of the finest department
stores in South Carolina. Every
morning he drives to his office and
performs a full days work, despite
his seyenty-fve years. Ever since
the war he has been compelled to
use crutches, owing to a wound re-
ceived in battle.

HAD ONE GREAT AMBITION

Acton Davies, the dramatic critic,
tells a story of Oliver HEREFORD, the
humorist. HEREFORD never had a Sc
rious thought in his life. As a baby,
feeling the prick of a pin which fast
ened his little bundle together, he
used to laugh instead of cry about it.
"Herford sat next to a soulful poet
ess at dinner one night" Davies re-
lates, "and that dreamy one turned
her sad eyes upon him. Have you
no other ambition, Mr.. Herford,' she
demanded, than to force people to
degrade themselves by laughter?'

Taking the College to the Farm.

Taking the College to the Farm,
The newest thing in the line
of Agricultural training offered
by the Missouri College Of Agri-
culture is the Branch Short
Course. During the coming
winter several Branch Short
Courses will be given at various
points i'm the state. AT each
one the the College of Agricul-
ture will furnish two men who
will spend their entire time for
five days in giving instruction in
dairying, farm crops, soils, fruit,
live stock, poultry or farm man
agement. In general the sub
jects taught will be suited to
the special needs of the com
munity.
Since the number of Branch
Short Courses must necessarily
be limited they will be given to
those localities which apply first
and which show the greatest in
%terest in the work. Here is a
fine opportunity for men with
push and enterprise to secure
for their community a benefit
that is offered this year for the
first time in the history of Mis-
souri,.
Full particulars concerning the
Branch Short Courses may be
had by writing to F. B. Mum

NOVELTY IN WAR OF FUTURE
Possibilities Of Conflicts Between
AeropIanes and Submarines Dis
cussed by Paper.

That aeroplanes may have a part
in bringing about the arming Of sub
marine boats. with light quick-fring
guns is the opinion of the United
Service Gazette London, which
%foresees the necessity of the aero
plane descending to a very low alti-
tude to drop an explosive on a sub
marine if that military fish should
chance to be summing its steel back
on top Of the waves. Then, when
the flying machine would swoop
down upon the "sub," it would be
sadly surprised if it received d dead
ly injury from a gun of the under
water craft. Also the eventualities
of future sea warfare may include a
stand-up fight between submarines
on the surface, as in the Manchurian
war there were square give-and-take
fights between Russian and japanese
d%estroyers and torpedo boats. The
submarine in cruising is more often
above than under water, and she
should be able to give a good account
of herself in case she met an enemy
of her class. These are among the
chief considerations which our con-
temporary believes have figured in
the decision Of the British naval au-
thorities to equip their "E" class Of
submarines with q~uick-frers.
