London, April -Congratulatory
messages from all parts of the world,
including felicitous notes of greeting
from King George and Queen Mary,
were received by General Booth to-
day on the occasion of his eighty
third birth day anniversary. The
venerable founder of the Salvation

on his left eye. This operation, Gen.

be attended with serious risk, and
promises to give him an old mans
sight for one eye. At present he can
not see his audiences, but if it is sue
cessful he will be able to do certain
amount of writing and even reading
after time.

GOPHER SCHOOLS PRAISED
Spokane Editorial Commends The
Manner in Which Agriculture
Is Taught.
BANKERS ARE 1AuDED

Minnesota, which has twenty-five
high schools teaching agriculture and
which has reached twelfth place as a
.grower-of maize and also Increased
its output of dairy products remark
ably, partly as the result of their SER
vice, is given full credit for its prog
ress in leading editorial in the
Spokane Spokesman : Review, in
which DR.. Edward Perry Noble says
among other things:
'The Roosevelt commission on rur-
al life in the United States found
that everywhere there is a demand
that education be relative to living
and that rural schools educate by
means of agricultural subjects
''The bankers associations, it is
maintained, never took up subject
that has met with more hearty in
dorsement from bankers or been more
popular than the betterment of Amer
lean farming. Minnesota bankers
found that agricultural states are
educating only six of every thousand
children to be producers.
"The committee therefore con-
cludes that our boys and girls should
be taught the dignity and desirable
ness of life on the farm and that
farm, rightly managed. contains more
opportunities for happines and
prosperity than any other calling Of
fers.
No work means so much to- the
prosperity of the states and the ma
ton as agricultural advancement"

Hartford City, Ind, April 1O.-One
of the most important subjects to be
considered at the fourteenth annual
convention of the Indiana Horse
shoers and Blacksmiths, which op-
ened here today for session of two
days, will be the proposition to ask
the legislature for the passage of a
law which will require all horse
shoers to obtain state licenses. The
object of the plan is to elevate the
trade and to protect the public from
the effect of poor and unskilled work

JAMES WTCKERSHAM

Is the time for real Naskaus to bunch both the houses and stick to a principle. The principle which Is most aeSirous just now is com rlpte home rule. There Is where wo can an unite. It is the founda- ton upon which we must build all ef the commercial and industrial Superstructure for future prosper ity Until that question is settled and settled right, there win be no united Alaska. We cannot unite until the gangs that divide us have been everlastingly buried. We have them going. The last two elections ot James wicSsrsham have put many Of them into political graves and the coming election will finish the work Of iutermeut.
 Finite on WiCkersham. Unite on principle. Unite on a better Alaska and let all the warning faction fight over their hoped for pie. We will thus get something of real and lasting value, and they will lose even the spells which they seek.
