| T,O0O,UOO pupils or the Soutn are
being urged by their educationa
and agricultural leaders to assemble
100000 farmers, their families
and friends in the $4,000 school
houses on November q for an hour,
in order to survey and review their
agricultural resources and achieve
ments, and to express their appreci-
alton of the services of one of their
great benefactors. Agriculture is
worthy of this consideration, for the
farmers of the nation have this year
produced ten billion dollars worth
of crops to feed and clothe nearly
100, 100000 people here, with a sur
plus for other nations.
Knapp Agricultural day is the Of
fetal designation. The South wishes
to honor The memory of DR. S A
Knapp as the founder of the demon
stration work and the boys and
girls clubs. This is fitting, because
10O,OO0 demonstrators are making
larger crops on their farms and corn
club boys are attracting worldwide
attention by growing more than 225
bushels on one acre at low cost. The
indications are that several OF the
$4,000 boys will this year break all
records. 1t is fitting, because $4,000
girls, in the harvest season, are fill
ing pantries with wholesome food
and selling the surplus. 1t is a duty,
because DR. Knapp taught a new
method in agriculture and the les
sons must be more widely impressed
and unfailingly transmitted. Rep
resentatives of England, Russia,
Brazil, South Africa. Siam and Ar
gentina have come to learn them. 1t
is high time for American schools to
take the lead in these ideas.
There is to be a Knapp school and
a Knapp farm near Nashville and in
with Peabody college.
When s15O,OOO is collected for the
farm and school building, $780,
will be added for endowment of the
school of country life by the general
education board. No other such in
stitution exists. It will start out
with the purpose of reaching and
helping every school ard farm in
the South. This institution will be
a laboratory, a clearing house and
an assembling place for agricultural
and educational workers. Event
ually it will have demonstration
schools in each State and county
teaching it's lessons. 1t will be a
working, living memorial, but in a
place will also appear a
life-sized statue of DR. Knapp.
What vast possibilities loom up if
the people of the whole South will
annually contemplate agricultural
matters for one hour! The State
and county Snperintendents of edu-
cation are taking the lead in this
movement. 1t will be worthy trib-
ute to a worthy man. The name OF
each contributor will be kept as a
grateful record.

IN SHIPS CRASH
Vessels Collide at Night, and
Passengers Are Thrown Into
Sea During Rescue.

BOSTON, July 3O.-The steamship
City of Rockland, on her way to Bos
ton from Bath, Maine, with $50 passen-
gers, was struck and seriously dam
aged early today by the collier William
Chisholm in a head on collision during
dense fog off Tatchers Island. 1t Is
feared that lives may have been lost in
the confusion of the rescue work.
Passengers of the City of Rockland,
amid great excitement and danger, were
put into the steamers lifeboats and
were finally transferred to the steamer
City of Belfast on her way to Boston
from Rockland
According to passengers, three or
four of the lifeboats of the City Of
Roekland filled with water, throwing as
many as rs passengers into the sea
All of them were saved from drowning
it was claimed by the ships officers.
Several were hurt.
The collision happened about 12:10
o'clock this morning and all the pas
sengers Were in their berths at the
time. The noise of the collision awak-
ened them and sent them scurrying to
the deck. most of them scantily clad.
In Water Half Hour.
The City of Belfast with her own
and the passengers of the Roekand on
board arrived at the Eastern Steamship
Company's dock here at $40 O'Clock
this morning. Theodore Weddelton of
Everett. said the first boat launched
had sunk, and that the captains gig
was also capsized He said he was in
the water half an hour before he, was
rescued by the crew on the coal barge
being towed by the Chisholm
The sinking of the lifeboats was de-
clared by passengers to have been due
to bad seamanship. One Iifeboat filled
with passengers sank because a plug in
the bottom was gone. One passenger
declared the men passengers and the
crew did their work like heroes
AS soon as the passengers had run
to the decks the order OF women and
children first" was given This was
strictly obeyed, so that the first to get
into the lifeboats were the women and

BAk AUTOS AND BIG CROWD TO MEET PARTY ON NUMBER SIX

The complete and hearty co-opera-

of Salt Lake was secured last night
following a banquet at the Hotel Utah
when Senator Horace r. De Long of
Grand Junction and Edward Yetter,
formerly of this city. but now of

Midland trail. The Utahans thought
they were on the Overland Trail,
and when they really understood the
status of the case. they were enthu-
siastically In favor Of the Midland
route
The Utah people had not heard of
the plans of the Automobile Manu-
facturers' association to complete a
hard surfaced boulevard from coast
to coast, and Mr.. Westgard explained
this plan in detail to them. Then
Senator DE Long and President Yet
ter of the Denver chamber of com
merce began a series of invinCible ar
guments which broke down every bit
of opposition to the Grand Junction
route. Vernal is no longer to be
considered. Grand Junction is assured
on the Midland route. and 1t seems
most unlikely that any other route
will be given preference over this in
being constructed first.
