SCORES CITY GIRL TEACHER
Joseph Chapman, Jr., Of Minneapolis.
Declares Her to Be Menace to
Agricultural Prosperity.

Chicago.-"The city girl who goes
into rural communities to teach is a
menace to the agricultural future OF
the nation. She strikes at the back.
bone of the country's prosperity.
From her position on the rostrum
OF the little red schoolhouse the
teacher from the city turns the
thoughts Of her boy pupils into other
channels than those leading to the
raising Of cattle and corn. The soil
will be remedied by the passage Of
the consolidated rural school bill now
before the Minnesota legislature.
Joseph Chapman Jr., vice-president
of the Northwestern National bank of
Minneapolis, pictured the city girl in
this new role in talk. His views
were expressed in a discussion of the
subject Of Agricultural Education
and Vocational Training" at the week.
ly luncheon Of the ways and means
committee of the Chicago Association
of Commerce in the La Sale hotel
"The present system of education
trains boys away from the farm"
said the speaker. "As a result of this
influence on his mind at a critical pe-
Iriod. the boy fails to see later the
possibilities that lie in the scientific
development of farm land, and, believ.
Ing his future lies In the city, soon
deserts the life Of tilling the SOIL"
In the establishment of agricultural
high schools Mr.. Chapman sees the
only hope Of overcoming the pre1u-
dice against the farm and in getting
out Of the soil what 1t really owes to
the country. He advised Illinoisans
to take heed of the situation.
Ten agricultural high schools
were provided for in Minnesota two
years ago." he said. "In a canvass OF
the state We could not find enough
teachers to man the schools. We had
to so to Iowa, Wisconsin. Nebraska
and other states. six states in all. to
get teachers. Ten more schools will
now be established.
We must turn back to the soil
Keep close to the drift we are to
continue as prosperous nation. In
the rural consolidated schools agricul.
ture is going to have its place"

The wager was between q knight

to such person one guinea . day dur
Ing the remainder of the lifetime OF
Napoleon Bonaparte.
In making such an extraordinary
offer he evidently thought the great
Corsican had but few days to live.
Before the others in the company
could recover from the shock of the
strange proposal. tho clergyman shout
ed out that he would accept the terms
and then and there the wager or deal
was consummated, there being wit

putting 100 guineas into the challen-
gers hands.
"A splendid bet 1t was for tho rev.

began to have cold feet. At first he
tried to beg of, but the parson would
not listen to his entreaties. A bet

that he was ahead to the tune Of some
300 guineas made him not in tho least
compassionate. Boney might live q
good while longer and that daily rev.

"As last resort the knight refused
to pay any longer. and the parson
brought suit before a judge Eloquent
and learned counsel spoke ON both

Washington, D. C.-By a vote of S;

His election was held to have been IN

the recipient Of votes obtained through
corrupt methods and practices"
Lorimer had been a member of the
senate since June IS, 1909. The first
suggestion of fraud in connection with
his election became public in April
1910, when Charles A. White, member
OF the Illinois legislature, swore that
he had received $1,000 as bride for
voting for Lorimer.
The senate by its action reversed the
majority of its own investigating COM
mittee and changed it's vote of March
l, 1911, when Lorimer retained his seat.

more than three years occupancy of his
seat. Facing his associated with the
declaration, 81 am ready Mr.. Lori.
mer sat in the chamber and heard his
fate decreed as the roll call showed
the adoption Of the resolution of Sena-
tor Luke Lea of Tennessee, the sen
ate's youngest member.
The man who had for three DAYS
neid the senate to close attention with
his remarkable speech of defense and
attack upon his enemies rose YEARLY
from his seat and passed back to a
eloakroom door,
Senators and members of the horse
gathered about him, grasping his hand
and patting him on the bak. Outside
the senate door, as Mr.. Lorimer stepped
INTO the corridor, friends greeted him
again and party of sisters of charity
pushed forward to express regret over
his expulsion.
Jones of Washington on His Side,
The outcome of the vote was not
surprise, but the leaders of the fipbt
against him had not estimated a greater
vote than so to 35. Lorimer gained
only one of the men who voted against

Jerking Its head SO as to catch the
remnant OF its dinner, that was out OF

Fresh Meats-There have been no

duction in steer beef. The market on
beef and other meats is exceptionally

Berries-There is a good movement

Cherries-Both sweet and sour varie-

Apples-New green cooking apples

demand is improving.
Potatoes-New potatoes are coming
forward freely and prices are held
steady under an active demand, with
old potatoes now entirely neglected and
