During the day the President spoke on
MANY subjects. To the Massachusetts
Legislature he spoke on Presidential pri-
maries, pointing out that he favored
such registration of the popular will m
regard to Presidential candidates where
the law safeguarded the ballot. To a
delegation from the Massachusetts
Peace Society he said that he did not
intend TO give up the fight for arbltr l.
ton treaties with Great Britain and
France, and added that when Secretary
of State Knox returns from his trip 10
Central America a plan to resume the
fight for arbitration will be worked ous.
In his address to the Charitable Irish
Society, tonight, the President praised
the Irish for their adaptability in BE-
coming Americans and added a Word
about the evident belief of that race in
the stability of American Institutions.
In this connection the President said:
1.-THE thing of which | wish to SPEAK,
tonight, however. is the well-known fact
that Socialism and Anarchy have found
no Judgment among Irishmen. They be-
iieve in constituted authority; they be
lieve in the institutions of modern So
ciety. they believe in unfolding our ma
tional and our state governments; they
believe in the preservation of the checks

ture. Not from them do we hear pro-
posals to change the fundamental law, 10

out for gods of government They arc
not seeking to invent a new society ans
turn the present topsy-turvy. They are
on the side of law and order. They are
partaking of the civilization, the good

A petition circulated by Mrs. Walter
d. Lamar, leader of Macon, Ga So
ciety, and signed by nearly 1000 wo-
men, has been presented to the mayor
and council, in protest against the
statue of girl in the fountain in front
of the City hall, in Poplar street. Tht
women declare that the statue is i'm
modest, immoral and shocking" and
that it should be suppressed. They dc
not like the classical cut of her vest

to say what they think in vigorous

to be that the figure occupies a green

BASKET BALL

The Normal basket ball team,
managed by Professor Ketcham and
coached by Robert Moser, was de-
feated by the La Crosse Normal
quint, at La Crosse last Friday by
score of Sc to %. A return game
will be played here February Is and
the locals look forward to victory.
The La Crosse papers commend
ed the game Friday as the best one
seen on that floor this season. 1t
was a hard fought game and clean
as a Greek contest. The spectators
were especially pleased with the
work of Manion and Moser, of the
River Falls quint-the former for
his cleverness in shooting baskets,
and the latter for his spectacular
work at guarding the crack for
ward, Dahl. ALI of the La Crosse
players were strong, but neither SO
clever or so finished in their team
work as to be invincible. Hyde,
Bonneville and Byers of La Crosse
lead the scoring, with ten, six and
FIVE field baskets respectively, and
M anton of River Falls also had five
field baskets to his credit.
Though River Falls played a los
ing game, they did SO with the best
craftsmanship spirit, fact that
elected the approval of President
Cotton and many other spectators.
After the game period of short
speech making, in which President
Cotton, Captain Dahl and Captain
Reagan spoke, was followed by a
social hop. The River Falls play
ers returned home Saturday morn
ing.
The Normrl quint won from Gala
had, in the local gym, yesterday by
a score of SO to 20. Galadad put up
a clever game really out-pointing
the locals in team work, but Nor
nal won out through superior
weight and strength. The first
half ended with Normal but two
points in the lead-17 to 15-but in
the second period the locals ran
away with their lighter opponents,
scoring So points to Galahad's II.
Final score So to %.

Seed Testing at The Normal

The Agricultural Department at
the Normal is prepared to do extern
sive work in the various lines of
seed testing and any of our farmer
neighbors who wish to have such
work done are invited to send or
bring in samples. The work begins
about the first of February. Your
samples will be tested along the fol-
lowing lines:
For PURITY-Clover Timothy, AL
falfa and other sown seed.
SCORING FOR sELEcTIoN-C orn
especially.
TERMINATION of the above
named seeds and other grains.
There will be rendered with each
sample of seed tested statement,
of the average of several similar
tests of that sample to insure cor
rectness. There were a number of
farmers who had work of this kind
done last year and all but one, who
has not been interviewed on the
subject, have agreed to bring in
samples again this year, and one
new name is added to the list. If
it is possible for this department to
help the farmers along this line, or
in any other way, your inquiries or
requests will receive careful atten-
ton.
There will be other announce
ments in this line in following
issues. If any farmer wishes the
best corn selected from a lot of one
Cd to five 50 bushels, and have the
best tested by weight and germina-
ton for each ear, and the record
written on the bag in which each
ear is placed, shelled, he may de-
pend on having careful work done.

Teachers are Active
in Community Life
Continued from LIST page.l


Miss Schlosser, teacher of read
ing, is often called upon to read in
the community, and the Norm al
Orchestra, directed by Professor
Reed is often called upon to take a
distinctive place upon the programs
of entertainments and civic gather
ings.
The members of the faculty do
many other things that are as differ
ent as they are address
institutes, meetings of civic organi-
cations, speak in special meetings
of church bodies and take active
part in clubs, lodges, and such
pleasant and useful activities.
And all of these things are done in
addition 10 their regular work in
school, the care of their homes and
recreation and reading. This ac-
count does not attempt to be thor
ough, but only suggestive of the
fact that the opportunity of the
teachers to exert themselves for
good in the community is not by
any means altogether passed by.

LEAP YEAR

Leap year is providential recur-
renee designated to take the race
suicide theory out of the joke col
umn. 1t happens once in every four
years and usually results in thinning
out the surplus spinsters. Every
man looks upon leap year as joke
until he is backed up into bay
window and given his choice be-
tween a church wedding and a
breach of promise suit, after which
he realizes that life is real and life
is earnest. Leap year is primarily
useful as showing whether pro-
crastinating sutton means business
or is merely fourfushing. After a
worthy young woman has seen an
eligible bachelor eat her fudge and
her electric light bill for several
years, at the same time lodging
every opening with the agility of
quarterback, she is perfectly justi-
fed in Selling time by the fetlock
at some leap year party and leading
him up to the burning question in
retired corner of the conservatory.
Some men are too tinid to propose,
but they aren't too timid to absorb
all the steam heat in a six-room
flat for a term of years and keep
everybody in the block guessing as
to their intentions. Leap year has
served as the last call to the dining
car, for many coy widow has
wearied of furnishing entertain
ment and Welsh rarebits to sutton
who is slower than the dawniDg of
the millennial morn. Leap year has
wrung a deckle-edged marriage GER
tifcate out of many a reluctant
swain who otherwise would camp
in the front parlor until his hair
turned white. Leap year mas been
aptly described as the old maids
opportunity, and if she is wise, she
will make the most of it.-Exchange.
