ton. What the plans definitely are
Dean Curtiss was not in a position to
announce, but he stated that congress
will enact very important legislation
affecting extension education in Iowa
at its next session. .,
"The Atlanta convention of the agri-
cultural colleges and the experiment
statfo-s was a very representative
gathering of eminent agriculturist edu-
Gators and farm experimentalists from
al. over the United States" said lean
Curt;ss. 'It was a very successful
meeting. and Ames was probably more
strongly represented among it's gradu-
ates than any other institution of it's
kind in The country
He says the question of agricultural
education. especially the phase of
training teachers to teach agriculture
in the public schools and in extension
work. received extra attention in the
convention. A bill is pending in con-
gress providing appropriation for agri-
cultural extension work in each state
and territory. Senator Hoke Smith Of
Georgia appeared before the associa-
ton and spoke very strongly in favor
of the passing of such legislation at
the coming session.
This year Is the fiftieth anniversary
of the passage of the Morrill, act,
which established the agricultural col
leges of America. and the twenty-fifth
of the enactment of the
H Itch act, which established the agri-
cultural experiment stations in the
United States. D.
= Hope now is in this anniversary
year. says Dean Curtiss, Ito put
through agricultural extension bills
that in all probability will be passed.
The expected federal legislation will
enable the national department OF
agriculture to carry the extension
worl- in connection with what the
states are already doing, into every
county, and not only that, but to main
tain the work in the counties through
out the year instead Of for brief
periods"

Der 2lst, 1912, Mrs. ]. L. Pratt presid-
ing. Three new members were added
to the club list namely, Mrs. w. R.
Mowbray, Mrs. S. J. Abbott and Miss
Rosalie Abbott. Mrs. Frank Richards,
chairman of social service had provided
a most delightful program for the day
Miss Emily Bissell of Wilmington gave
a most interesting talk on 'Social Ser
vice throughout the State" She is a
most charming speaker and interested
the ladies in what might be done for
our own town. Her accounts of what
has been done in the larger cities were
very encouraging and it is truly wonder
ful how much has been done toward
benefiting the children of foreigners
VINO are working in factories etc. The
topic Of free libraries was freely dis
cussed. and when Miss Bissell told the
aim of Wilmington people to erected
new library at great expense, it really
seemed possible that our free library at
a trifling expense might be in eXistance
at an earlier date then has heretofore
been thought probable. The musical
number was piano solo by Miss Mary
Smith. The donations for Hope Farm
were very generous, and Miss Bissell
thanked the ladies for having contributed
much more than a barrel full. She
told how pleased the patients at Hope
Farm are when these barrels are re-
ceived. 1t is Thought probable that very
soon, a place for the colored people who
have tuberculosis, will be established
and that the good work of caring for
and curing the unfortunate, will not be
confined to the white people alone Next
week will be a Halloween Party, Mrs. |

will be Misses Elizabeth Griffith and

the third penetrated his body few
inches below the heart. Hearn then
ran uptown where he was found half
hour later by Patroman Baker and
placed under arrest. When taken into
custody he had two revOlvers on his
person, one of which was fully loaded,
while the other contained three empty
shells. Examinations of Miller wounds
proved them to be very serious. Hearn
was committed to Georgetown Jail.

DISEASE AFFECTING STOCK.

A disease which is greatly affecting
the cattle of lower Delaware and
against which the State Live Stock and
Sanitary Board of Delaware, through
its secretary Dr. J. R. Kuhns, a
veterinarian, is attempting to stan p
out, is known as Sporadic Necrotic
Stomatitis. They symptoms of the dis
ease are usually a disinclination to take
food or nourishmento of any kind whatso-
ever, and drolling from the mouth.
The treatment prescribed by DR.. Kuhns
consists of a mouth wash of two per-
cent of creolene solution three to FIVE
days in which to rub the ulcers hard if
necessary tear them open, as no harm
can be done even if they bleed The udder
and teats are also recommended to te
sponged, if effected. This is the ex-
ternal treatment and often all that will
be needed. For internal treatment the
following is recommended Acetanelide,
one ounce ; alcohol, one pint mix ana
give two tablespOOnsful.

AUTO TURNS TURTLE.

While driving his automobile about
thirty five miles an hour in attempting
to pass another automobile on the Fred
erica causeway, a man by the name of
Derby allowed his car to skid on Satur-
day last and the machine with its two
occupants wen, over the bank into the
mud and slime which borders the road.
Howard G. Sapp, garage OW ner of
Milford, was the man who Derby was
trying to pass and states that he was
going all of thirty five miles an hour.
Fortunately both of the occupants were
thrown clear of the car when it turned
over and landed in the branch sever; /
feet away. Both of them were covered
with mud and water, but otherwise
they were uninjured. 1t required the
efforts of several men, a pair of horses,
and several block and falls to get the
damaged automobile back into the road.
The owner of the car, Mr.. Derby, lives
near Canterbury and is a miller.
