CITY FOLKS ARE green
when they Go ON farm

SPOKANE, Jan. San agrlcul-
tural school or an experiment sta
ton should be established in the out
skirts of every large city in the
United States" declares R. J. Nc
Lean, secretary of the Spokane
chamber of commerce. He believes
this would, in a measure, solve the
cost of high living and would direct
attention to the production of basic
resources. Continuing he said:
Il do not agree with the president
CT the Washington Educational asso-
citation when he says that more at
tention should be devoted in the
schools to commercial lines. I be-
l.eve We should first devote our at
tention to education in agriculture
and mining. These are the pursuits
from which all wealth emanates and
on which all other pursuits are de-
pendant Increase activity in these
lines and you, perforce, must in.
crease activity in commercial and all
other lines.
IF the schools teach agriculture,
agriculture will become more po2u-
lar. We will then have more farm
ers, and naturally more production
and more valuable resources.
had my way about it there
would be an agricultural school or
an experiment station in the out
skirts Of every large city to educate
young men in things pertaining to
the farm. The difficulty now is that
the city man who wants to learn
something of agriculture must usual
ly go a long distance away, entailing
great expense. In the cities there
are thousands of people who merely
exc out an existence. How much
better they would be if they were on
farms.
1.-THE country boy who comes to
the city for the first time is very
green with respect to city ways.
But there is nothing greener than
the city boy on a farm for the first
time. Our city people do not know
enough about farming, and if they
knew more We would be able to
solve. in a measure, the high living
cost"

AUDUBON SOCIETY
DOES GOOD ] V I Urn

Surveying the accomplishment Of
the National Association Of Audubon
Societies for the last year, it is al
most impossible to believe that this
great work was begun just nine years
ago, when a little band of bird lovers
headed by William butcher gathered
in a room in the city of Washington
and started a movement which has
now reached such scope that it in
wolves an annual expenditure Of $685.
600 and the saving of millions of
birds The Audubon Societies, form
ed at the psychological moment when
the spirit of observation began to be
felt, have grown rapidly and in
creased in power and usefulness.
The work has been reduced to a
system. A regiment of keepers, lec'
turers, and bird wardens scattered
through the principal cities of this

watch RECONSTRUCTION
WORK With INTEREST

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. S.-The great
state of Ohio will begin on Tuesday
next the reconstruction Of the con.
stitution. On that day a constitu-
tional convention, recognized by all
factions as preponderantly "progres-
sive" if not radical, will convene in
this city for a struggle in which hot
ly-debated questions of the initiative
and referendum, the recall Of public
officials, including the judiciary, and
the liquor question, will overshadow
all other proposals.
The fact that neutrality-suspicious.
as large as 70 per cent-of the dele
gates chosen to this convention are
classed as progressives' while the
more conservative element makes up
in determination what it may lack In
numbers, foreshadows a bitter and
2rotracted struggle. Whatever its
outcome, the people will have there
after their "say" about it in the en-
suing general election. They reject
ed the proposed constitution adopted
in 1894.
Ohio is the first state east of the
Mississippi to attempt the revision
of it's organic law since direct legis.
lation and direct control of public
officials by the electorate came into
vogue in several far western states,
and the outcome in Ohio will be
watched with keenest interest by the
people of every other state.
Analysis of the statements regard
ing the mental attitude of the dele
gates elected, discloses the fact that
all of the progressives are for the mi.
tiative and referendum and many of
them want provisions for the recall
Of the judiciary. Practically every
labor delegate stands for the recall
of all officers. Many of the farmer
delegates, however, while favoring
the initiative and referendum refuse
to include the recall of judges in

porting this idea for other officials.
Ohio Constitutional Convention.
Interviews with representative DEL
egates throughout the state justif1es
the statement that sentiment is more
concerned with the proposed modifi-
cation of representative government
than with any other matter likely to
come before the convention. They
prefer placing the liquor license ques-
ton in a secondary position. The
initiative and referendum, they as
sert, is paramount to all Issues.
When the 119 delegates to the con-
vention are called to order in the
House of Representatives at the
state capital here, it will be the most
notable representative of all classes
of the people of this state of any
gathering in Ohio's history. Included
in the personnel of the convention
will be former congressman, and for
mer lieutenant governors two mem.
bers Of the present legislature, many
former legislators, many former
judges, several ministers, a large
of farmers and representa-
tives from commercial and industrial
walks of life. The democrats have
the majority with IS delegates. The
republicans have 4S delegates, the
Independents 3 and the socialists 3.

rivers help to carry out the pur'
poses of the Society and promote the
attainment of it's object-the saving
of the creatures of the air from the
reckless despo:lers who had so nearly
succeeded in blotting out the most
beautiful species.
More has been accomplished in the
past year, thanks to better organl'
cation and wider public support, tnan
ever before. Beneficial legislation is
being pushed forward in all states,
usually with graf. ing results. Much
antagonism has developed, however,
on the part of the dealers IN feath'
ers. That, of course, was to be ex'
pected. In New York one of the big
gest fights of all was decided late in
the session of the last legislature. 1t
arose over an attempt Of the feather
interests to force the passage of a
bill modifying the provisions fthe
Plumage law of 1910 which prohibit.

native birds But on the final show
down there were not enough votes
to pass the amendment and the orig

MiIIiners' Assault Fails.
Later, milliners brought injunction
suits against the state in the United
States Circuit Court, but their a9pli.
caions were rejected.
In Georgia, last summer, five
years campaign by the agents of the
society was brought to a close by the
establishment of a force of State
game wardens supported by hunt.
er's license. This was accomplished
in the face OF lethargy regarding bird
preservatios and game restrictions in
general. Oregon, likewise, has estau'
lished a State Department of Game
and Fish Protection, largely through
the efforts Of the National Association
of Audubon Societies All Of the
New England states have backed up
the associations work with effective
legislation, and in Florida. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, North Dakota, and elsewhere
the Audubon workers have been fore
ing the issue.
OF the work attempted by the as
ISOLATION none has shown better con-
crete results than the guarding OF
bird colonies. The increase of her
ring gulls on the Maine coast has
been one of the results of this pol
icy, The roseate tern of Massachu'
setts has also been saved from pro-
bable extinction, while on the North
Carolina rockeries, where, in 1903 the
least tern laid but sixteen eggs, 1900
young were raised last summer. This
constitutes by far the largest nesting
group of these birds on the Atlantic
Coast. On these rookeries are also
found the few remaining specimens
of the Cabot's tern, a bird which has
become so rare that, despite all pre-.
cautions for safeguarding it, but sew.
en- eggs were Matched last year.
Necessity for the work is empha'

perienced by certain Of the Southern
seacoast birds in maintaining the

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Jan. s.
Claus Hagert, in the divorce courts of
North Dakota for four years, was yes

They remarked, but four years later,
old differences cropped to the sur

Pierre. s. D.. Feb. 1.-THE artesian
water in the gas belt of South Dakota
