At the Teachers Examination

Eighty-six applicants received
lists of questions Saturday, that
were prepared by the state board, a
certain per cent of which must be
answered correctly before a license
to teach school can be given. The
would-be teachers say that the ques-
tions are well studied out, and many
of them are simply unanswerable.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 13.
Lightweight champion AID VOL
CAST and Joe Rivers, Mexican
whirlwind, are scheduled to box
twenty rounds for the 133-pound
title on the afternoon of next
July 4.
The weight Is to be 1913 pounds
ringside. Wolgast probably will
scale in at 1872 pounds. Rivers,
although boxing now at 1913
pounds. is growing rapidly and
probably will step into the ring
at the full allowance limit.
1t was IL o'clock when VOL
CAST with his egg sized diamond
blazing from his shirt front and
his newest cane walked into the
fight headquarters. Tom Jones
accompanied him.
Hello Ad," cried Promoter

smile as he solved the lightweight

orously. Over Wolgast's ashoul-
der doomed the face of Jones.
For few seconds McCarey
and Jones looked at each other
witheringly and then both huf-
riedly began conversations with
others of the welcoming circle.
Both were thinking of their re-
cent Geographic war when Jones
told McCarey. over the wire, that
he was a joke because he only
offered Wolgast $12.5O0 to fight
Rivers.
Everything that we have said
goes now. and we have the money
to back it," beloved Jones. Eve
will make any weight for this
bird Rivers from 1872 up and let
him name the weight.
eve are going to work on the
Fourth of July and we would
rather work here than any other
place. We would like to get Riv-
ers as it would be a great con-
test, but Rivers is only one of a
half dozen challenges.
Just then McCarey broke into
the boisterous Mr.. Jones' talk.
ANY man that sends me an in
sulting telegram" began Nc
Carey, as he waved his arm to-
ward Jones.
Nobody sent you an insulting
telegram and If we did we did not
mean it," roared Jones before
McCarey could finish.

The game was narrowed down
to pitchers battle in the first
inning. Clarke, for Vancouver,

batters. Oddie Abbott, who led
the Tigers in batting at Vancou-

hitters were sewed up safely In
the strike-out sack and carried
back to the bench. It was not
until the fifth inning that a score
was made. Kippert, for Vancou-

Escaped Convict Pleads
Own Case at Frankfort.

Frankfort, KY, April IA
jury in the Franklin Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon listened to a
speech by a convict, in defense of
himself, probably the first time in
the history of the State that con-
vict acted as his own attorney.
The prisoner was Frank Sayman,
burglar and prizefghter who had
escaped from the penitentiary
several months since. He was
tried on a charge of escaping and
lost his first case as a lawyer, for
he was convicted and sentenced to
serve from one to six years in the
penitentiary in addition to the
term which he is now serving for
HOUSEKEEPING in Mt. Sterling.
Sayman spoke to the jury in his
own behalf and made an eloquent
plea. He is good looking young
man and his speech appealed
strongly to the jurors, but they
could not help but find him guilty
as no evidence presented for the
defense.
Charles King, a negro, also
charged with escaping, was con-
victed and sentenced to the prison
for from one to six years. He
had only fifty-ejght days to serve
when he ran away from the ward
en- house where he was cooking.
He did not have lawyer and told
the jury that he did not know he
was violating any law when he
escaped from the penitentiary.
Sayman is one of the men who
robbed the home of Col. A. w.
Hamilton few years ago.

1t is not imitation that accounts
for the adoption by farmers in a
given community of the methods
that one of their neighbors has
employed with success. Object
lessons are not valuable merely
because they engender rivalry or
lead to imitation; they do their
work through a contagion. A
progressive, steadfast man who
works out his economic and larger
salvation on farm is the source
of compelling local drive toward
social and material betterments.
His own progress represents an
inner desire for these things. His
influence and example act as a
helpful contagion in his commu-
nifty. Once the seed of which this
mental and moral condition is the
fruit is planted in agricultural soil
welcome results inevitably follow.
What comparatively backward
farming regions need first of all is
men, with the training, ambition
and balance that confer the power
of awakening their fellows. If
each township could claim even
one farmer of this type the country
life problem, to which this nation
is devoting much thought and
money, would solve itself.
Modern agricultural education
and the cooperation of multiply
ing social forces are discovering
and developing men and women
ultimately capable, through them
selves and their children, of spread
ing the contagion of good farming.
County experts employed to coun-
sci and work with farmers repre-
sent an important step in the right
direction. Graduates of the col
leges who return to, purchase or
manage farms are supplementary
aids. Slowly but surely American
farmers are meeting their prob
lens, and the contagion of good
farming is giving vigor and mo-
mentum to their progress.
