PASTOR TRAPS HENS IN GARDEN
Holds Chickens, Collects Ransom and
Vegetables Are Saved.

Chicago, June 24.-The back yard
garden of Rev. e. N. Tucker Of Wau-
kegan is dotted by a crop of home
made traps that promise to net the
owner a large and surer return than
the vegetables. The minister says
that he has been annoyed for some time
by the depredations of chickens from
his neighbors' yards. Finally, he
thought of placing traps for them.
Now when hen wonders into a trap
he writes a polite note to the owner,
saying that he may redeem his props
erty on payment of a suitable penalty.
The minister collected 81 from the
owner of a particularly Objectionable
hen, and so cents from a woman
whose hens strayed into traps.

Peace Wave swept Ancient Egypt.

Until Cambyses with his Persian
myrtads swept across defeated Khem,
and Phoenicia and Greece, adopting
her stored-up wisdom, added thereto
the graces of more artistic orna-
mentation and aggressive commercial
enterprise, Egypt led all nations In
the arts of peace and the accumuIa-
ton Of wealth by peaceful trade. And
while it is true that individual enter
prise was largely hampered by the
royal control of foreign trade, it must
be remembered that the king acted
largely as trustee for his people
and that the Egyptians under most
of their sovereigns probably suffered
less from plague and famine and were
more justly ruled than most of their
contemporaries Nobility of the

POPULATION OF UNITED STATES
AND THE SUBSISTENCE PROBL LEM

Frequent assertions that the fertility
OF the soils Is washing into the streams
and that the productivity of cultivated
land is diminishing are misleading the
public into the belief that the agricul-
ture Of this country Is decadent and
that there is life In the old formula
that population must tend to increase
at greater rate than subsistence
So states the chief of the bureau of
statistics Of the department of agrf-
culture in his annual report for 1910
at the beginning OF a discussion OF the
ability Of agriculture to maintain pop
ulation in this country.
Historical Phases.
The situation can not be understood,
he says until it is examined historic
ally This Is a country in which mill
lions upon millions OF acres of fresh
land have been coming into production
faster than the domestic consumption
has required, and at times beyond the
takings of importing foreign countries.
AS eminent man as Gen. Francis A.
Walker expressed the belief that under
such circumstances farmers on the
fresher soil were economically iusti-
fed In robbing the land.
All of the historical phases of agri-
culture now exist In this country. First

Ing production per acre on .inexhaust-
ible land" which surprises the farmer;
next the agricultural scientist, who
points out the way to better agri-
culture and larger production per
acre, with poor responses from the
farmers.
In the course or time, especially
when the next and perhaps the third
generation takes the farms, important
advances are made, at first irregularly
and mostly on farms Of the leading
class and subsequently with increas-
Ing diffusion and accelerated speed.
For many years there have been
fresh lands with rather high but sta
tionary production, older lands with
declining production, old lands begin
ming to improve. and some lands we'll
advanced in Improvement. AS the en-
tire cultivated area Of each crop the
national average production per acre
has varied.

METHODIST CHURCH
WINS THE BANNER
Largest Number of Pupils
Attend the Devils
Lake Picnic.

The fine big banner was awarded to
the First M. E. church Sunday school
on Wednesday as that school had the
greatest number in the parade. The
school will retain the banner for year
when some other school will attempt
to secure the prize. About 1852 were in
line from that school and about 400 in
the parade. After the lake was reach
ed dray load of good things disap-
peared, the contests were enjoyed and
the day was one round of pleasure.
Some of the boys forgot to get in the
parade and then had difficulty in get
ting ice cream. Tickets were given
out during the march and those with
out pasteboards at the ice cream couh-
ter were like the foolish virgins in the
olden time. The boys have promised
that their lights will shine all the way
when the next big day comes.

NEW AUTOMOBILE
CLUB IS FORMED
Several Kindred Spirits
Join Themselves Into
an Organization.

Several kindred spirits have formed
a unique automobile club. 1t will be
recalled that some days ago w. F.
Hagen was driving, without number,
the car that was awarded in a voting
contest by another paper. The case
was continued for some reason but
today he marched into Justice Andro's
office and paid fine of $40 90 and
costs, the whole amounting to $13.24.
He became a charter member in the
organization.
Later the attention of Chief of Po-
lice Pelton was called to F. A. Phil
orick's car. Ph1lbrick is in the habit
of spinning around and around in a
car used by his family. 1t appears
that dealer, according to law, has 40
right to use garage number on a car
owned and operated for family pur-
poses. He likewise separated himself
from 1924 as an initiation fee into
the new organization.
Before Justice andre had time to
get his records in condition Simon
Swartz strolled in. In The News
voting contest Buick car had been
awarded to Miss Goldfarb. Mr..
Swartz took out the car with the
number of the dealer, Prothero &
McGinnis. He was under the i'm
preston that the car could be run by
anyone when the number of the firm
was on the car. He also took out a
charter membership in the new club.

SUGAR FAMINE
At ABLEMAN
The Villagers Had a Sweet
Time and Then the Town
Turned Sour.

There is a sugar famine in Ableman.
One of the fair villagers was in Bara-
boo OH Wednesday and said that
a pound could not be bought there at
any price. The trouble was not on ac-
count of the sugar trust or delays in
shipment but on account of an unex-
pected consumption. For day or so
the people had an extraordinary sweet
time of it and 1t then was all off. Two
barrels were sold in one day and that
exhausted the supply. It is canning
time and that caused the unex xpected
situation. To exhaust the supply of
this staple naturally turns a town
sour.

SUMMER SURVEYING
SCHOOL HAS CLOSED
After Several Weeks Prac-
tice at Devils Lake Work
of Students Ends.

The Summer Surveying school at
Devils Lake has completed the work
for this season and tomorrow morning
the professors and students will break
camp. They have spent several weeks
in practice work and will return to
Madison Thursday morning.
Devils Lake Low.
The water in the lake is about four
feet lower than when the measure
ments were taken last year. The
depth of the lake was found to be 48
feet in the deepest place, about the
same as year ago. The greatest
depth is about the center of the lake
just off the riff-raff of the Chicago &
Tthwestern.
The bottom of the lake is level. If
40 feet of the water were drawn off
there would be wide marsh all
around the lake. The remaining
water would form q puddle near
where the center now is. When the
glaciers were there the two ends were
filled in, leaving the bottom level.
Students From Everywhere.
The class is composed of about 60
students from many states of the
union and from other countries. Three
came from Purdue in Indiana, one
from Peru, South America, one from
the City of Mexico and one from Mex
ico. Other universities like the
University of Minnesota, were alse
represented. The rough country gives
an ideal place for all phases of en-
gineering work. Each year the stu
dents are different so that it is great
for the region. The
students go to their homes with
stories of the wonders OF the lake and
thus wide advertising results.
Sometimes Meet Dogs.
In the surrounding country the stu
dents are greeted by the farmers with
courtesy and cool buttermilk is
brought forth by the daughters to the
delight of the young men. Occasion
ally a healthy dog has to be beaten off.
Always give the fellows the glad
hand. 1t is good thing for the
country that they come.
Professor Leonard S. Smith was in
charge of the party. j. A. Cutler'was
the instructor in charge of the base
line and trianguIaUion and II. A. Par
ker looked after all the river and lake
surveys. The students elected the
following from the class: Edward
Whitney, chief engineer; r. j. Seer
gel, assistant chief engineer and r. d.
Hughes, chief astronomer. Professor
Smith reports that the camp has been
unusually successful on account OF the
intense interest.

of Fred Irish, who was in the bar at
the time Of the tragedy. Enright is the
