been reliably informed that they
have not procured the required
license and the samples of the seed
they are showing do not bear the
required certificate of purity. We
have been told that the seed appears
to be of very poor quality If that
is true, the farmers should refuse to
buy it, for by so doing they are lay.

We suggest that the farmers
should ask these agents to produce
their license and also the certificate

HOBBLE SKIRT STILL POPULAR.
Shows No Sign of Giving Way to
Wider, Fuller Fashion.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. October 26.-The hobble skirt
shows no sign Of giving place to a wider.
fuller fashion, as the cloth manufac-
turers all over the midlands are hoping.
Hundreds Of thousands fewer yards of
material are required. for five yards suf-
flee for a skirt where six were formerly
necessary.
The chairman of one mill company
of Coventry, at meeting yester-
day. cheered the shareholders by stating
that West London traders had predicted
that the hobble skirt would soon be dis
continued. Investigation. however, does
not uphold this view.
1.-The hobble skirt is as popular as
ever" said the manageress Of the CO.'S
tune department at Selfridge's to news
paper representative.
Although some of the Paris models are
little fuller round the knees, the de-
mand for the skirt which is tight round
the ankles is as great as ever.
For parties and evening wear, of
course, there Is becoming fashion in
fuller flowing skirts, but for costumes the
straight line skirt is still most fashion
able.
I'm our autumn models the hobble skirt
is the favorite. and one OF our leading
manufacturers, who is now with me dis
cussing the fashions, tells me that 1t is
likely to be popular for the whole sea-
son.

action, saved many lives at railway
accident at Preston Central station though
twenty-six persons were injured.
An express from Blackpool central sta

Robert Nose, a railway porter, saw the
incoming train rounding the curve outside
the station, and remembering the stand

signaling to the driver to apply the
brakes. This the driver did. and the speed
was reduced to between seven and eight
miles an hour when the collision occurred.
The passengers in the collidng train

MISSION TO FARMERS.
Work Done in California by a Trav
cling School.

From Farm and Fireside
The California farm train has lust
come in from it's latest run. Twenty
localities We're visited. The cars were
thronged with visitors, many travelling a
distance of forty miles.
This is the fourth year of the Special
and completes the first thorough agri-
cultural survey of the state. 1t is a
sity's college of agriculture. and one of
the most extensive efforts of the kind
that has been put forth anywhere.
The original experimental train was
sent out November 8, 1908. There were
samples of the states soils, with the
Hilgard charts, showing their analysis
and the best processes with them; DEM
onstrations of the states various agri-
cultural problems, with their solutions;
eXpositions of plant and animal disease
and insect pests, with their remedies: a
department devoted to dairy industry.
with a lecture room. The train was
manned by eight experts from the best
of the college force, was in service sixty
four days, journeyed 2,6O3 miles and had
1920 visitors.
The next year the number of coaches
was increased from three to five. Five
thousand six hundred and seventy-fOuT
miles We're covered, and the patrons num-
bered 1903. The subjects illustrated
were enlarged to include viticultural
cereal and forage crops; entomology, ir-
rigation, veterinary science. poultry, with
model sanitary chicken yards and coOps
home economies. and a large attention to
animal husbandry.
The following year ten cars We're put
on the road, with twenty-One demonstra-
tons and lecturers, increased exhibits
apparatus, etc. The number of visited
stations grew from 6S to 225, 1900 miles
were covered, and the attendance reached
1924. This year the mileage of the
train was over 6EOO
The farmers, hOrticulturists. vineyard
lists, orchardsts, beekeepers and stock
men came with their notebooks. An en-
ira car carried various specimens of va
rious breeds of cattle and hogs. The
schools adjourned and the teachers at
tended with their pupils, for agriculture
and horticulture are now largely incor-
porated into county schools.
And so this state is being railrOaded
out of it's old ranch farming. The big
wheat fields are broken up, maximum
production per unit of area has taken the
place of mass production in grain. The
rowing special is California's latest ad-
vance toward intensive farming. Twen-
ty-six states have now put in commission
these missionary trains.

LONDON, October 26.-The Prince Of

two weeks, and the young men who are

be allowed to spend his days unnotfced,
and he will undoubtedly always feel lone

will not be his own, but the blame will
principally fall on the queen, who has
seen that arrangements were made
which as far as possible will keep the
young prince from coming in contact
with his fellow-students. From ma
terial point Of view the prince will, of
course. lack nothing. His apartments.

age and who occupies a set of rooms on
the same floor, but who is neither par
ticularly bright nor interesting.
AS a sole concession to the democratic
tendencies of the century. the prince is
permitted to dine in the hall at a table
with ordinary commoners, when he does
not prefer to have his meals served in
his own rooms. and as matter Of fact
he has dined with fellow-students 2ret-
ty regularly. but as he has not been per-
mitted to develop the natural tendencies
of boy of his age, he is out of touch
with his table fellows, and his presence
acts as a damper on their spirits, fact
which will sooner or later induce him to
retire to his private apartment for his
meals.
The prince is said to be good oars

as he is not particularly strong. he will
not be able to row in the college boat
and will probably have to content him.

A Machine to Write Music.

A German musician has invented ma
chine which, he states, automatically
registers the notes emitted by the piano.
The new machine has the same object as
one invented by an Italian and used by
Mascagni i'm writing his operas. but it is
a larger instrument and is operated by
electricity. Into the machine is inserted
a roll of paper, and the composer seats
himself before the piano and executes the
composition that he desires to give to
the public. The machine faithfully regis
tiers every note produced, SO that the mu-
sician does not have to depend upon his
memory.

Music From Greenland.

Music from Greenland is shortly to be
added to the delights of music lovers.
A Danish composer has returned from
a trip to Greenland with $50 original
pieces of music which he secured from
the natives by using a phonegraph.
He declares that the musical sense of
the natives is highly developed and
where they are the least influenced by
cultivation the most typical tunes have
been found. Several of the songs which
he secured resemble those of the
Canadian Indians and the Eskimos. He
also discovered similar resemblances In
their native dances.
The project of improving the harbor
OF st. Thomas in the Danish West In
dies by state-subsidized company has
been abandoned and the work will be
done by private capital, large share
Of which is likely to be furnished by
America.
1t was found that the government re-
strictions hampered the company. and
the Danish capitalists, headed by Prince
Valdemar. have concluded to act as a
private corporation.
