essential service to his country than

ago, what shall be said now of the men
who teach others to strive to attain
those desirable agricultural results?
Such IL the work of the instructors
IN the thirty-six agricultural colleges
Of the country now buslly engaged with
their opening spring tasks. They are

Biggest School In Kansas.
Kansas claims the honor OF having
the largest agricultural college in the
world in number of students enrolled
and in number of buildings. But
Charles Dillon, head OF the department
OF industrial journalism OF the Kansas
State Agricultural college. says mod
estly in a recent letter. "Other states
surpass Kansas in excellence of in
struction in some phases of agriculture,
as, for instance, Wisconsin with its
dairying." The table printed above,
furnished to the author by Mr.. Dillon,
who gathered the information, shows
that Kansas had 2.30S students when
the count was taken. when the year
1901 ended we had 2.410. and now

The curriculum is arranged to give
students a sound general education
and also specialized technical train
ing. Much of the study, therefore. is
parallel to that pursued by students
seeking degrees in philosophy" or
commerce. In the first two years
there is training in the writing of
English, the reading of newspaper
French or German, which is distinct
from Literary" efforts in those
tongues. in general science, econom-
les, English and American literature,
and modern and present day history
of American and European govern
ment and politics,
In the second year the practice in
journalistic writing begins, to be car
ried on through the two succeeding
years. The second half of the course
gives instruction in newspaper tech
mic in various elements of law and
in social and industrial problems that
the newspaper is called upon to deal
with.

 Solomon's Tribute to Women
 Commenting. then, upon the ideal wom- an MT. Weatherly read with much inn pressiveness King Solomons tribute to woman, and at its conclusion stated that the nearest approach in history to the woman of Solomon's description was the pampered woman of southern ante-bellum days; the woman who spent her life as the guardian of slaves, the mistress of great plantation, who spoke. words of kindness to the humble and whose heart reached out to the needy.
 'The world has undergone a great change" continued MT. Weatherly. "Old ideas of individualism have disappeared with the logic of events in political and industrial life. Inventions-machinery fa- city In transportation, progress-~have brought many changes in our Industrial life. Women have been caught in the rising tide of comrnercialism and are thrown more and more into industrial life. The homo life is greatly changed. Now

 Mrs. Murdoch's Suggestion
 Mrs. w. l.. Murdoch arose at this point and gently, cleverly and in thoroughly feminine fashion asked that it be borne in mind that not the vote merely is be- ing asked by the suffragists. ''Men have borne the burdnes, industrially and fnan- cially, for so long," she said, without the help of their helpmates. we simply wish woman to take her place and do her part in the great family that is the United States, the smaller family that is the state, in just the same way that a mother looks into the government of the home. We, wish. something bigger and broader than the mere privilege of casting a vote.'
 Clement Wood asked permission to speak and ernestly, enthusiastically, effec- lively as is his wont in speaking of womans rights, replied to several points made by Mir. Weatherly. To the premise that the franchise for women would n- crease the ignorant vote, and the political lassitude and indifference he offered the statement that MT. Weatherly's argu- ments was it's own answer-that because the mass of men were failing in their po- litical obligation, instead of being point against feminine suffrage. was in it's favor. If we men are making a failure. all the more reason to give the women chance" was the substance of his state ment. To the objection to the negro womans vote. he answered fervently that there was nothing to be feared. and that

{By Ste'en Burnett. ]

Berlin, Sept. 1.-The serious at tention Of all classes of the popula- ton is being directed to the rapid Increase in the price of meats of all sorts. 1t is not only pork, the staple flesh food uf the poor fhat mounts in price, but veal, mutton and beef ill all forms apparently are similarly affected. The general feeling is that the period of high prices has only begun, and that the coming autumn and winter will see prices which will make the consumption of the better kinds of flesh practically impossible for the families of the working classes.
 According to statistics published at Stuttgart from official sources, the increase in price during the last de- cade has been nearly 40 per cent. It is q poor comfort to a man with limit ed means to hear that this rapid rise is an international phenomenon, and that in Vienna, Budaphest, Paris, and Rotterdam prices have risen corres- pondingly. From many parts of the country news comes of meetings passing energetic resolutions calling on the government to open their iron tiers, or at least to repeal some of the more drastic regulations dealing with the importation of meat and live stock, and in several populous centefs-Ior example, Breslau-the butchers have issued a manifesto stating that the rise i'll prices which has set in, and which is sure to con- tlnue for the next six months, is not due to any steps taken by them, but to the Impotence of German agricul- turists, whose flesh production has not kept pace with the increase of the population.
 It is not only the prices of meat which have risen so omniOusly Sim liar complaints are heard about vege- italics, especially potatoes, another stap.e dish of the Ecor. Mlkis also rising in price. According to off oial figures which have appeared here the average weekly expenditure of a family of four persons of the middle classes on food has risen from 23.5o marks in January, 1911, to 26.10 marks ill July of this year.
