EXPERT ENGINEERS
At ROAD CONGRESS
Many Highway Builders Will Discuss
Questions Before American
Road Congress.

A practical effort to bring the sup
ply of expert highway engineers to the
point where they will be numerous
enough to meet the demand for their
services Is to be made at the American
Road Congress to be held on the NIL
lion Dollar Pier In Atlantic City. Sep
TENDER 80 to October :. At the pres
ed States spending more than $780,
100000 a year for the improvement OF
highways the demand for expert high,
way engineers exceeds the supply
There is to be conference of educa.
tional institutions at the American
Road Congress to be directed by the
Society for the Promotion of Engineer
lag Education, and through this con
ference efforts are TO be made to In
duce the leading universities to estab
lsh specific and practical courses fol-
the instruction OF highway engineers
At the present time there are about
eighty-two universities devoting some
attention to highway engineering. The
instruction in this branch of engineer
ing, however, is in most cases, merely
part of the general training of engin
GERS so that there will be a sufficient
number of trained men to handle thu
great problem that has been thrust
upon the United States by the wide
spread agitation for a better system o.
paDuc highways that Hili reduce the
cost of hauling crops and permit ship
ments by farmers at all seasons of the
year.
Prof. Henry H. Norris of Cornell
+ University is the secretary Of the So
ciety for the Promotion of Engineer
ing Education, which is composed o.
officials of the leading educational in
situations having engineering depart
ments. Professor Norris has just sen
letters to all the Institutions which
the INTO appoint delegates to represen
are represented in their society asking
them at the convention which will b.
part of the American Road Congress
at Atlantic City. Prof. VIM. 7. Ma
/ gruder of the Ohio State Universit,
is president of the Society for tn,
promotion of Engineering Education
while the vice-presdents are Prof, L
S. Marks of Harvard and Prof, f. W
Sperr of the Michigan College O
Mines. They believe that if the uni
versities will supply well equipped en-
gineers it will be long step toward
doing away with the careless super
vision of the construction and main
tenance of public roads that now re
suits in the loss OF large per cen
of the money invested in roads.

Girl Attracts Attention.

Miss Sallie Paynter, of down about
Luray. Va, and a gentleman friend
of hers came to this city Thursday
noon and stopped at Mrs. Aliens
boarding house on West Burke street.
The man objected to the girl walking
on the street alone, but Friday after
noon she went out anyhow. AS she
passed along Queen street with her
head down and her hands behind her
back and not noticing anybody or any
thing she attracted general attention
and people thought her demented.
But il was only tantrum and she
and her friend left town the same
evening

GREAT PROSPERITY
IS PREVAILING
IN SOME SECTIONS
Mr.. Smith Brings Good Reports
From Farmers Institute
Fruit Crop is the Best and Cattle Are
Selling for Prices Never Equaled-
State Boards of Agriculture ano
Horticulture Are Working Together
Several Institutes Next Week.

Mr.. II. L. Smith, who has been alb
sent for two weeks, visiting farmers
Institutes arrived home yesterday
evening. While gone Mr. Smith at
tended nine institutes in the counties
of Kanawha, Upshur and Braxton and
reports that there was a large atten-
dance at ali of them.
In discussing the matter this morn
ing Mr. Smith said that the people in
those counties were manifesting great
interest in the work, and that they
were endeavoring to introduce new
ideas in their farming and stock rails,
| ing. The section, from which he re-
turned, he reports to be enjoying I'M
paralleled prosperity. The fruit crop
is the best ever known and the price
paid for fat cattle was never equalled.
Some of the farmers are selling steers
at 800 each.
These institutes are being held I'M
der the supervision of the State Board
of Agriculture for the purpose of in
teresting the farmers, fruit growers

to introduce new methods, as it is
generally believed that better results
can be obtained from them. Then
the ladies are getting interested, and
several of them are attending the in
stitutes and are discussing domestic
science and sanitary conditions 1t is
the intention of the State board to
give these matters more attention
/ hereafter.
/ To stimulate greater interest, the
( State Board of Horticulture is send
/ ing lecturers to all of the institutes,
/ the men sent out by the agricultural
I board. So all questions pertaining to
/ the farm are discussed and the far
mers derive much benefit by attend

/ On Tuesday Mr.. Smith leaves for
Burlington, Mineral county, to ad
dress the institute there. He will
then visit Monongalia, Marion and
4 Preston counties and lecture before
several institutes before returning
He expects to be absent for some
time.
Since the State Board of Agricul
ture began conducting institutes fol
the farmers, several well known lee
turers from other states have beer
induced to visit the state. While or
this trip Mr.. Smith was accompanied
by gentleman from Tennessee, who
made a number of talks. During the
year six or eight Ohio men will spend
some time at the institutes, and it il
expected that their visit will result in
much good. Because of lack of in
terest there will be no institutes held
| in Berkeley county this year.

Elizabeth Mar Freed.
Thomas Hall. jr., of Elizabeth, who
is in the Railway Reformatory as a
result of the accidental killing of
a Newark saloonkeener some months
ago., who was pardoned today by the
State Board of Pardons, is the son
Of Thomas Hall, of this city. and his
family is well known. His liberty
is a Christmas present for the old
folks. He is expected home today.
The Governor was asked If he ia
vored the New Jersey system of in
vesting the power of granting Glenn
ency in a board Of pardons, as
against the New York system, which
gives the Governor absolute power,
as illustrated by Governor Dix's par
don of Albert T. Patrick.
Yes" he said, "I would rather
have the full board of pardons than
have the responsibility rest alone
with the Governor. 1 admire this
court very much. 1t is open minded
and certain to do the right thing. 1t
consists of the Governor, chancellor
and six judges of the Court of Err
rors and Appeals.
The Governor said the court to-
day did not hear any applicant in
person. but that in the capital cases
attorneys were heard. These capital
cases DOL up the greater part of the
morning session.
The Governor had no time to talk,
or even to think politics today. When
he had finished with the Court of
Pardons he was hurried to Princeton
n retired early.
AS a result of the deliberations of
the board about fifty prisoners were
granted their release on parole. There
were only four or five cases of par
don and all those, except one, were
cases where the applicants were out
OH parole and the pardons were
granted merely as a matter of re-
storing to the men their citizenship.
The lone exception was that of
George O'Brien, sentenced from Mid
dlesex County in 1906 to serve twenty
five years for carnal abuse. O'Brien
was not only paroled but pardoned
outright. The number of men paroled
was much smaller than usual for the
term Of court that ends with the
Christmas holidays. Among the men
paroled were several Essex County
prisoners who were serving time for
murder.

The Toymaker's Dream.

One of the seasons Comic Opera
Successes is the new, two act farci-
cal comedy, The Toymaker's Dream,
the book translation being that of
Frederic Kremer, and the lyrics and
score by Halle Tarver. The COM
pany is headed by, the we'll known
character singing comedian, VIM. c..
Cushman and its instantaneous sue
cess gained by this merry, rollicking
offering is said to be due to a clever
and clear plot we'll wrought, and the
extreme excellence Of the music, the
standard Of the latter, according to
several critics, reaches that of light
opera. The production is heralded
as being exceedingly rich in lyrics,
which includes solos, duets, trios and
quartettes-some of the artistic kind
that force their way into parlors and
drawing rooms, and are hummed and
whistled everywhere. The original
ity of the story is synonymous with
the title, and the opportunity for the
display Of ingenuity scenes, comic sit
uations, are fully taken advantage
Of by the authors. One must see the
play to fully appreciate it's worth.
"The Toymaker's Dream" will be seen
at the Opera House on Thursday ev-
ening, Jan. 4.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1912-01-03
The poll showed:
The T0ymaker's Dream.

When Frederick Kremer and Hal
lie Tarver wrote the book and lyrics
of the Toymaker's Dream they aimed
at delighting and entertaining both
young and old. The six year old boy
or girl, and the grey haired grand
father or grandmother, will equally
enjoy this mirth provoking, frolic-
some, musical comedy, the two acts
Of which are brimful and bubbling
over with comedy risible incident,
charming ensemble, picturesque CO.'S
tunes, and inspiring melody and
harmony. "Archie'' the old toymak-
er's son, will be a host in himself as
laugh producer, which will make
the sides ache for many a day, and
the music-that strong feature
should bring every music lover in the
city next Thursday evening, Jan. 4,
when the Toymaker's Dream will ap-
pear at the Opera House. It is safe
to say that no other musical piece
this season has such a list Of en-
trancing lyrics as will be offered, and
one Of the best organizations Of sing
ing voices yet brought here will be
heard in their interpretations.
