BARNES WILLING TO LEAD

Washington, July 9.The selection of
chairman of the Republican national
committee is yet undecided. The Taft
| leaders had conference of four hours
yesterday and adjournment was taken
until to-day. A dozen names were con-
sidered.
The conference was amicable. The
only actual result was the elimination
of the presidents secretary, Charles D..
Hilles, who stated that under no condi-
ton would be take the Craftsmanship.
President Taft is said to be willing
to accept any man meeting the approval
of the subcommittee.
The surprise of the day came in the
impression which most of the members
of the committee appeared TO entertain
that William Barnes, jr. chairman of
the Republican state committee of New
York, was willing, if not eager, t.. ae-
cept the Craftsmanship, instead of re-
luctant to take it as had been com
monty reported, This impression ap.
pears to have been due to the fact that
Mr.. Barnes on arriving in Washington,
telephoned to several members Of the
committee, stating that he had heard
that his name was being mentioned in
connection with the Craftsmanship, and
asking them what they thought about
it. The replies from the eastern men
appear TO have been satisfactory TO Fir.
Barnes, but ii is understood that some
of the western members are a little du-
bious as 10 whether the selection of the
New Yorker would be the wisest that
could be made. They all agree that
as political strategist Barnes has no
superior. and the eastern men at least
believe that the selection of Barnes
would mean that Taft would carry prac-
ticallv all the great eastern states, in.
Guiding New York.

MAGAZINE REVIEW
A Great Superintendent of Rural Schools.

| According to an article in the July
American Magazine, Eli NJ. Rapp super
intendent of rural schools in Berks coun-
| ty, Pennsylvania, has made his county
schools model for the country. His
essential idea is that farm children
should be education for the farm. Aft
er reporting the various improvements
which Mr.. Rapp has instituted, the au-
thor of the article goes on to say:
"There are many other ways in which
Superintendent Rapp has endeavored to
improve the rural schools of the county.
hut none has aroused as much interest
as the Boys Agricultural club and the
Girls Domestic Science club. All over
Berks county boys and girls are to be
found wearing the embems of these two
organizations, one reading Boys Agri-
cultural Club of Berks County with
the words Better Farming in the cen
ter, and the other Girls Domestic Sci
ence Club Of Berks County surround
ing the motto Better Housekeeping
Each year these clubs have an exhibit
ton at Reading which is miniature
county fair. The boys show vegetables,
field crops and poultry in prize contests,
while the girls display dainty products
of the needle as well as bread, pies and
other articles.
"One effect of these contests has been
to stimulate the interest of the parents
in better farming methods and to in
crease their respect for the rural school
and for agricultural training in general.
In some instances the boys have been
able to grow better crops than their fa-
theirs ever have produced. Moreover,
the farmers and their boys have been
brought into closer relationship and have
come to understand each other bet

Connors was found Sunday dying, with
40 stab wounds in her body, was ar

A Girl Should Dress to Fit the Seen,

A Girl Should Dress to Fit the Scene
In an article on Dressing to Fit the
Scene, in the July Woman's Home Com
panion, Grace Margaret Gould, the fash,
ion editor OF that periodical, says in
part;
Have YOU ever thought that there
are many things which work together
for charm in Dress Well. there really
are, and perhaps the first OF these things,
and the most important of all, is dress
ing TO fit the scene. You are the por-
trait the scene. the frame; and the por-
trait and the frame should not clash,
but should be in perfect harmony.
Let MS take the summer girl, for
instance, and have a little talk with
her in regard to the correct-whieh
means the appropriate for the
many occasions which come up during
the summer days. just at the begin
ming let me say word about how much
more economical it is to dress to fit
the scene than to wear wrong clothes ON
the wrong occasions, Then, too, clothes
have, in measure. a way OF assert
ing themselves They look best for
what they were made, and if SO used
prove satisfactory. On the other hand,
overworking ones clothes is most un-
wise.

WHY you CAN THROW A

Every move On ball game affords
a problem. There are basic con-
ditions which, ia themselves, are
worthy of study Consider atmospheric
pressure. Did YOU know that a man
who can throw a baseball $50 feet on

ball almost 400 feet on the Denver

IMPORTANT MEETING TONIGHT
knights of Pythias May Discuss Grand
Lodge Referendum.

!
a regular meeting of the Kniebts
O. Pythias will be held this evening in
the society's rooms in the Kauth block.
This win proDaDly be one of the most
important meetings Of the lodge for
some time, good deal Of business be-
Ing scheduled
IN addition TO regular work i'm the
third degree, the lodge probably will
discuss the grand lodge referendum
on the proposed law to raise the per
capita tax from thirty cents TO ffty
cents, the extra twenty cents going
INTO a special fund for the relief of
worthy knights. II is planned TO raise
this tund until Il reaches 800 600 and
then use the interest for the charitable
work of the order, this being the gem
cral plan followed by the order all
through the country in lieu of estab-
fishing a special home for all disabled
members such as some orders do. The
Hancock lodge viii In all probability
take the matter up and discuss il to-
night and fix date for voting on the
plan. When 100 lodges throughout
Michigan have voted in favor OF the
proposed change it becomes a law.
Another matter that has excited &
great deal of discussion among the
Hancock members of the order Is the
recent ruling of the supreme court of
New York on the raising of assess
ments. Tho Michigan laws compel an
fraternal insurance orders to raise
their rates to such a figure as will
protect the members, while the New
York court holds the orders cannot
make the raise. The appended ac-
count of this decision will be of in
terest 90 Hancock Pythians.

cry county refused 10 pay the in
crease asked in the assessment for in
surance. He had a policy bearing date
of October 2G. 1869, for $4,000 and cali
ing for a monthly assessment of SO.
In 1902 he was directed to pay $3.50
and did so. Last January his assess
ment was raised to S1470, and his
tender of the original amount was re-
fused on order from the supreme lodge.
He took the matter into the supreme
court and IL was removed to the Unit
