Of democratic members OF the Washing

A junior member OF the bar, who
came from a long line of democratic
forbears was in the habit Of seeking a
position at every indication that his eff
forts might be successful. Some OF his
friends, without his knowledge, wrote a
petition and circulated it among the
democrats promiscuously, telling them
that it was simply a petition for minor
place in one of the departments.
After his friends had succeeded in OBJ
tanning the signatures of several hundred
they struck the one who would not sign
until he read the petition at the head of
the roll And there he read something
like the following:

able opportunities for the establish

Myron Jernfain Jones, chairman of the
meeting, stated that, in the playground
movement, the moral interests as we'll as
the physical stamina of the race are at
stake. He called recreative play an ad-

have had their origin in private initiative
before being adopted as a part of the

to the fact that. in the formulation of the

active part.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 1S-Secretary of

night at the st. Patrck's day banquet
of the Irish Fellowship Club reiterated
his words of Saturday at the ST. Patrick s
banquet in Washington.
1.-TWO years from now Ireland will be
celebrating home rule he said. There
is every reason to believe that the house
of commons in London will pass the bill
again and make it law
Mr.. Bryan declared the victory for
Ireland would be a victory for the world
and would mark the end of aristocratic
rule.
when the house of lords Is COM
PEELED to bow to the people," said Mr.
Bryan, 1t will mean the beginning of
home rule for the whole earth. It will
be a tremendous triumph for Ireland and
her part in the great struggle will be
gratefully remembered by every country
that is struggling for freedom.
Benefit Appreciated Later.
1.-The victory of this great principle
will not be acceptable at first, perhaps,
to Great Britain and Scotland, but they
viii in the end find that it is immensely
to their benefit
Mr.. Bryan confined his address to con-
gratulations on the prospect of home rule.
He did not refer at any time during his
stay here to national or state politics
1.-THE Lord gave me two ears and one
tongue he said as he left. "It might
have been better if I had many ears and
no tongue. l am not talking now. I am
listening"

Remarks Criticised at London.
LONDON, March 1S.-''A blazing in
discretion is how the Morning Post de-
scribes the speech of William J. Bryan,
the Secretary Of State, at the st. Pat
rick's day banquet given by Irish-Amer-
leans at Washington Saturday evening
The Post reprints the portion of the
speech in which Mr.. Bryan congratulated
the Irish nationalists on their success in
the matter of the home rule bill and re-
ferred to the virtual end of hereditary rule
in the British empire. The Post says
that while it does not suppose that Mr.
Bryan intended to give offense, he should
understand that his speech is regarded
with keen resentment by many people in
Great Britain, and, in their opinion is a
gratuitous and unwarrantable interfer-
ence in the domestic affairs of the United
Kingdom.
''As on the prudence and sagacity with
which the Secretary Of State discharges
his task depend the relations of the
United States with other countries" con-
tinues the Post, at behooves him to OBJ
serve caution in his references to other
nations.

New YORK. Dec. Figures which
are now coming in from tests conducted
on more than one hundred and fifty
farms In the Northwest through the
encouragement of James ]. Hill, already
show that the Christmas gift of the
railroad head to the farmers of the
country will be one of the most valuable
they have ever received, taking the form
OF proven method for doubling their
grain yields. For many years Mr.. Hill
has been preaching better farming
methods, but it was only year ago that
his efforts finally took the concrete form
of the trials which have made this re-
markablc gift reality. The results of
these tests which are now coming in
demonstrate that by following the
methods advocated by Mr.. Hill it is
possible for the farmers of this country
to double their yields Of wheat, oats and
barley, and even to surpass the greatly
superior yield. secured in Germany.
In undertaking these experiments Mr..
Hill was influenced by the figures which
show that in spite of our increased
population, the rural population has been
shrinking rapidly and the yield per acre
OF corn, wheat, oats and barley for the
ten year period following 1900 was less
than 1t was thirty years ago. In other
words the necessity for remedy of this
farm decadence has become more and
more pressing ard 1t is such remedy
that MIR. Hill has been working out.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1913-01-08

"This," he explained, means rotation
of crops; thorough and repeated culti-
walton; chemical soil analysis to discover
in what clements OF fertility if any it is
deficient, and supplying them; the keep
ing of livestock and the liberal use Of
BARNARD manure; the selection of only
the best products for use as seed and a
careful test for termination before plant
ing; then always more and better cult
vation. In this way the yield may be
made sure and profitable beyond our past
experience in this country The stats
tics OF comparative production here and
abroad give some measure of our
neglected opportunity"
To put these principles into action was
the next step and Mr.. Hill wisely
decided against model farm" project,
preferring to show the farmers on their
own land. So Isl farmers in Minnesota
and North Dakota were persuaded to
set aside FIVE acres of their land which
they were to work, with their own farm
labor, along the scientific principles laid
down by Mr.. Hill The first returns
have just been received from these farm
plots and their average yield per acre is
interesting, particularly as compared with
the average yield in the United States
and Germany.
These returns show that the average
