HAVE AGRICULTURE TAUGHT n

The Progressive Farmer:
, AS we have said before, tie assump
ton that woman cannot teach the
elements Of agriculture farming
mind you, but simply the scientific
truths that have practical application
in farming-unless she has been q
| field hand, is an absurd delusion. She
doesn't need to be centenarian and
soldier In order to teach history; II
is not required that she travel around
the world before teaching geography;
she need not have written a book be
fore teaching grammar; she need moi
have robbed graves and dissected
corpses before teaching physiology
Why argue then that she must have
broken steers and stemmed tobacco
before teaching scientific truths about
soil chemistry and plant physiology
that have practical application in the
business or farming?
You don't have to know how to
hitch a mule to a pillow in order to
teach why it doesn't pay to pillow deep
and cut the corn roots in two at lay.
ing-by time; you need not know how
to run guano distributor in order to
teach the effects of potash, phosphoric
acid and nitrogen in plant growth;
you need not know how to cure cow
pea hay to teach how nitrogen gath
cred by the cowpeas will enrich the
land; you need not know how to
shuck corn to teach which type Of
ear has been found to be best for corn
production; you need not even have
MIXED COWS in order to teach that the
Babcock test will show which dairy
cows are paying and which are not;
nor need you have butchered steers in
order to tell that with Jersey and a
Polled Angus, the Jersey is better for
the dairy and the Angus for beef.

TWIN STARS.

Faint is the Star of Happiness,
Ane often missed by longing vision
Yet none need fail of sure success
In finding out its true position,
Since close beside, a steadier star
Forever beams In changeless beauty
And Happiness is never far
From the high radiance of Duty.

The Alumni have an idea that this
year lis to- mark a turning point in
these games and that they will
emerge from the battle with the long
end Of the score. To say that the
high school team is confident Of vic
tory is putting it mildly, as they can't
see where their opponents have a
chance. We don t see what they have
to base their claims on as they have
not made an enviable record this sea-
son by far. The only possible advan-
I%tage the high school team will have
will be In their team work. And that
will not count whole lot in their
favor, either when you stop to think
that all the members of the Alumni
team have played together on the
High School team and they have been
under the direction of Coach Crosby
who will prepare them for the game

WILL RIDE ON CARS
And Not Pay, Says Head of
Force.

The public utilities has issued a rul-
ing that policemen and detectives may
ride free of charge on street cars
whether or not they are in uniform,
provided that they wear their official
badges. Some question was raised as
to this some time ago and local police
have been watching the outcome with
interest Chief of Police Gormon stat
ed today that the local police do not
use the street cars in patrolling their
beats as in other cities but it is often
necessary, In searching for evidence
for patrolman or plainclothes man
to use street cars
Il have always requested the men
on this department not to use the
street cars for pleasure riding. 1t is
seldom that policeman is seen riding
on street car here for that reason
If it were necessary. in spite of any
ruling by the commission, | would
send the patrolmen out on cars"

LANDED IN TAX NET
Were Several High Officials
of Illinois.
(National News Association

CHICAGO, June 4.-The names of
two of the states highest officials
were written today upon the list of
penalized taxpayers. Governor Ed
ward F. Dunno and United States Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis were
assessed for personal property esti-
mated by an assessor, and a so per
cent penalty was added the same as in
the case of ordinary tax payers who
forgot to schedule their personal
property.
Gov. Dunne's assessment, including
the fifty per cent penalty, was fixed at
$4,000. Senator Lewis must pay on
$3.50. William Lorimer,s assessment
was fixed at $4,000 and a $4,000 pen
atty was added. James A Patten, the
grain operator, was assessed on $780,
600 personal property. Franklin Nc
Veagh, ex-secretary of the treasury,
was assessed on $4,000.
Mayor Carter H. Harrison voluntar-
lily scheduled an increase of personal
property of nearly $1,000 over his as
sessment last year, making his own es-
innate of his personal property

LITTLE CONCERNED
OVER GRAVE CHARGE
Elwood Davis, Charged With
Murder, Does Not Seem
Worried.
palladium Specially

EATON, O., June A continued
search for key to the mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Frank
Bourne, 48, a recluse who resided on
farm west of Camden, has thus far
revealed nothing in particular, al
though County Sheriff Werts and
Prosecutor Hugh r. Gilmore believe
the seemingly unimportant bits of evil
dence already at hand only tend to
weave stronger chain around Elwood
Davis, So, now in the county Jail under
charge of first degree murder.
The failure of the authorities to
find any evidence after an exhaustive
search of the farm owned by the
missing man has aided in their efforts
to unravel what seems the greatest
mystery ever developed in Preble
county. Sheriff Werts was at Camden
Tuesday but did not visit the farm
He returned in the evening and stated
that, although his visit brought out
nothing big, he felt assured that he
held some good theories and would
work them out, of possible.
Davis was again questioned Tues
udy ny IIOStCulOT Illu1OTS, anu HIS
answers were similar to those given
Immediately after his imprisonment
Davis says he saw Bourne when he
made his last known visit to the farm
He says Bourne, accompanied by a
Cincinnati man, whose auto he had
hired, came to the place just about
dusk and remained all night He de-
parted next morning, presumably with
the intention of returning to Cincin-
natl.
Davis education is bad and his in
tellect apparently dull, but is pos
sessed of remarkable cunning, which
the authorities believe he is using in
an effort to mislead them.
The enormity of the crime, or what
will be the result should he be con-
victed, are matters that have not been
realized by the accused man. He does
not seem worried in the least.
