Of the large percentage of lawyers
who are admitted to the bar without
having received law school diploma.
II we place the per capita need of
lawyer at the same figure as the need
of physician, and disregard all who
enter the profession without complet
ing successfully a law school course,
it is evident that the output of the
law schools of the present day is far
in excess of any necessary demand.
1t is certain that the demand for
lawyers and physicians is much more
than met by the professional schools
today. 1t is equally certain that the
demand for educated farmers is strik-
ingly neglected.

Too Many Lawyers and Doctors
Not Enough Educated Farmers

The Secretary of Agriculture said
today. ''The Department of Agri-
culture is organizing just now to take
farm demonstration work into the
Nor thern States. Two classes of men
are required for this work. First, in
each county first rate farmer who
has been a success on his farm and
who understands practically, without
much theory except what he may have
incidentally picked up, how to handle
the soil, the plant and the animal.
Second, over large districts and states
a different class of men is wanted,
W ho have an agricultural college train
ing combined with it's application to
practice in the field. AS we read the
daily papers and see the reports of
the thousands of young men who are
graduated in law throughout the
country, the reflection naturally
comes, what pity that the great de-
mand of the farm for intelligent men
is not being more considered by our
educational institutions. There is
not law work for more than a small
per cent of these young men. No
doubt the education and mental train
ing they have had will make them
brighter men, but there are no jobs
waiting for them, that is for more
than very small percentage of them,
while the fields are crying aloud for
trained men. Housekeepers are COM
planning of the cost of living. 1t
would seem to be wise for our educa-
tors in their national meetings to
consider these problems. 1t might
be wise to consider about how many
young lawyers will be needed in the
next year to take the place of the
older men who are dropping out.
That could be very easily determined.

This applies to more than the
lawyer. There are no doubt far
more young physicians being turned
out from the educational institutions
of the country than there are patients
for. Wrong direction has been given
to the education of many young men,
and yet there is nothing more diff
cult to change than the old systems
of education.
In his sixth annual report (1911)
as President of the Carnegie Founda
tion for the Advancement of Teach
ing, DR.. Henry s. Pritchett says:
According to the census tables
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-07-15

there were in the United States in
1900. 132, 600 physicians and surgeons.
In the bulletin on medical education
issued by the Foundation in 1910 it
was calculated after careful investl
cation that 2, 900 graduated annually
from the medical schools would
furnish an ample supply of new physi-
clans to take the places left vacant
by death and other causes and to
keep pace with the growth of popula-
tion. Assuming, and it is evidently
an extravagant assumption, that the
proportion of lawyers to the popula-
tion should be as large as the proper
tion of physicians, 1,7OO graduates
annually from the law schools would
be sufficient to maintain even the

AWAIT VERMONT VOTE
STRENGTH OF PROGRESSIVES
LIVE TOPIC TODAY.
Election Tomorrow Centers in Con-
test for Governor, Which Re-
quires Majority of Votes to Win.

Montpelier, VT, Sept. 1.-THE vot-
ing strength of the Progressive party
in the state election tomorrow was
a live topic Of discussion throughout
the state today.
The Progressive movement in Yer
mont has had the aid of more notable
orators than any other party. Before
Colonel Roosevelt's tour of the state
former Senator A. J.. Beveridge of In
diana, Judge H. B. Lindsey of Denver
and other prominent men addressed
the electors.
Nearly 10000 voters, it is estimated,
will go to the polls to choose a gov
ernor and other state officers, two
congressman and legislature. Inter-
est centers in the contest for COVER
nor. The candidates are Allen M.
Fletcher, Republican,; Harlan B.
Howe, Democrat; Rev. Fraser Metz
ger, Progressive; Clement F. Smith,
Prohibition, and Fred w. Suffer, So
cialist. To win, a candidate for state
office in Vermont must obtain a ma
jority of votes. Otherwise the legis-
iature elects under the constitution.
Discussion of issues in the cam
paign has covered a wide range. The
Republicans have maintained that the
prosperity of Vermont has been
largely due to the administration Of
state affairs.
Democrats, including Governor
Fcss Of Massachusetts, have talked
tariff, while chief support of the Pro
hibitiOn campaign has come from Eu-
gene w. Chain, the party candidate
for president, who has not spared the
Republicans, Democrats or Progress
sives. The Socialists have been the
least active, but the leaders believe
there will be an increase in the party
vote over 1910.

did the pretender carry his deception
to the point of marrying an innocent
girl, as he did in the Council Bluffs
case.
Six weeks previous Milliken ap-
peared in Council Bluffs and registered
at the best hotel under the name of
"Jess Rankin"
names in southwestern Iowa, where
the Rankins of Tarkio own thousands
of acres of the best land in the state.
But, fortunately for the -masquerader,
young Rankin himself vas known here
only by reputation-not by sight. And
for six weeks Milliken lived in clover.
AS young Rankin" Of Tarkio he could
have anything he wanted.
He lived at the most expensive
cafes. He continued his residence at
the hotel. He gave dinners to new
friends. Cigars, by the box, were sent
to his room and charged" His cred
it at the bank would have been good
for $4,000 or more, on a check, but not
a scratch of the pen did the fellow
make in that direction. He cashed
nc checks.
He borrowed from every one with
whom he came in contact. Complete,
ly busted" he would laugh. "Spent
my last cent. Hand it back first time
l go near the bank" 1t was a good
joke, this catching young Rankin, heir
to $4,000 acres, without a red cent to
his name.
Rankin met Miss Edna Blumen-
stein, whose father is an employee Of
the Northwestern railroad. He made
love violently, just as he did every
thing else.
AS a wedding present, Rankin" de-
termined to give to his bride the
Every best auto that money could
buy" So, for a week, they sailed
around Omaha and Council Bluffs in
different automobiles which they were
trying, while the bridegroom made
up his mind as to the one he wanted.
Going to give the little girl any
thing she wants" he told the dealers.
"That's young Rankin Of Tarkio.
Got money enough to buy every car
in the house and not miss it," the
salesman whispered to the managers.
Then came the marriage with Miss
Blumenstein, followed by the wedding
breakfast at one of the prominent
cafes. In the midst thereof, Chief Of
Police Frome walked in, laid his
hands on "Rankin's" shoulder and
said: 81 want you, Milliken." He was
turned over to the Missouri authori-
ties, taken to Kansas City, pleaded
guilty and was sent to the penitentt
airy for two years.

rage and Friends Count Loans as
Lost-Disputed Identity With Son
of Missouri's Biggest Farmer.

Council Bluffs, lat is a far cry
from a feted bridegroom at a wedding
breakfast with unlimited credit and
tradesmen begging his favors to a
numbered convict in the Missouri pen
itentiary, with his hair cropped, but
James Milliken made the change with
in five days. In the first role he was
known as Jess Rankin, son of the
late David Rankin of Tarkio, Mo-, the
largest farmer in the world, and in his
latter role he was known as James
Milliken of Tarkio, indicted at Kansas
City for horse stealing before he in
troduced himself as heir to the largest
far min Missouri and Iowa.
The arrest was made in the presence
of his bride of an hour, who was Miss
Edna Blumenstein, and his wedding
guests. His wife will ask annulment
of the marriage.
So stoutly did Milliken maintain he
was the real "Jess Rankin" that he
contended in the courtroom with the
true Rankin as to which was the mas
querader. 1t was not until several old
schoolmates Of Rankin were produced
and positively identified their friend
that Milliken acknowledged his decep-
ton. But by that time his bride had
returned to her mother.
According to the real Rankin, who
came to Council Bluffs to defend his
name, this is not the first time Mill
ken has passed himself off as the Tar.
kio man. Instead there are numerous
instances in which Milliken succeeded
in flying high" at the expense of the
Missouri farmer. But never before

Man must work. That is certain
as the sun. But he may work grudg-
ingly, or he may work gratefully, or
he may work as a machine. He can
not always choose his work, but he
can do it in a generous temper and
with an up-looking heart. There is
no work so rude that he may not ex-
alt it; there is no work so impressive
that he may not breathe a soul into
it; there is nc work so dull that he
may not enliven it.-Henry Giles.

On the Bathing Beach.

The bathing dresses Of this season are
varied indeed Further novelties in this
direction arrive with every season. and
the smartest specimens come from
France. One of these is a fairly faithful
reproduction of a Jockeys jacket and
cap. The jacket fits fairly closely to
the figure, and has a basque reaching
nearly to the knees, with a black pat
ent leather belt. the material Of the cos
tune being white and black striped al
paca. The cap has no peak. but is gath
cred in very fully. so as to accommo-
date an abundant couture. j
Black glace silk is again "a favorite
material for bathing suits. One Of these.
OF French origin. is embroidered very
ranged around the neck. across the front
and bordering the sleeves. The cap to
match Is bright purple satin with a
rosette over each ear.
Navy blue serge holds its own, and in
one instance has the long tunic edged
with wide white braid and the square
bodice trimmed to match. the belt. also
being in blue serge with border Of
white braid.
