While the subject OF harnessing the
Columbia river at Cello is under dis
cussion in this state it
white CoaI'' is interesting to note
In Europe what is being done
elsewhere along the
line OF developing white coal" for
the benefit Of the people.
In down trodden and oppressed Eu-
rope the governments have sufficient
progressiveness to serve the people
along this line. \ notable instance
is in the grand duchy Of Baden where
every dwelling house will soon have
electricity for both lighting and power
purposes at actual cost If desired.
The government has invited proposals
for the construction Of generating
plant To use the power OF the river
Murg in the famous Black Forest.
Here are some facts regarding Baden
and the electric project:
Baden has a land area Of 5.s1s
square miles. or that OF Connecticut
with about half Of Rhode Island. Its
population. however, was 2,141,S32 in
ils1O as against 1,524,4ss in Connect
cut and all Of Rhode Island And the
difference in density OF population be-
tween about $50 and about ESQ pei
square mile is quite factor in max
ing such an enterprise work out sue
,cessfully.
I The initial expense of the installa-
ton is not expected to exceed 81
100000. The primary purpose wa:
to furnish current for lighting the sta
tions Of the state railway and those
! OF the Upper Rhine railway at Mann
helm. an important mercantile anC
transfer point at the head of tbs
lRhine navigation. AS most Of the
country would thus be traversed b!
1.-The conductors it occurred TO some
Ione that the service might as we'll b'
Imade practically universal
The smaller workshops and home
Industries, as well as many farmers
are expected to avail themselves O.
the opportunity to obtain cheap pow
Ter. Practical experience has alread!
lshown that by bringing cheap motive
power to every house, even in remot
Villages. domestic Industries have beer
enabled to go on profitably despit
the competition of the large factories
Thus the tendency to drift to the cite
with aggravation of "slum" condition
is arrested.

The Normal Society's Stunt.

The Normal Literary Society
gave its last entertainment for
the term last Friday night. To
borrow from the theatrical ver-
nacular, it went out in a blaze of
glory and red light. The pro-
gram was lengthy, consisting of
music, song, readings, character
sketches and ended with a plan
tation scene before the war. -
1t would require more space than
we can spare to describe the en-
tire program, and we will not at
tempt it. That it was an enjoy
able affair was attested by the
house, which was crowded to its
utmost capacity.
There is one thing, however,
that has us guessing. The negro
plantation play ended with a
quadrille; we have been wonder.
ing when those four demure,
Sunday School girls learned the
! intricacies of that difficult call tc
enable them to execute it with,
out the slightest error.

Couldn't Agree.

Even a Clark County jury was
unable to agree in the now cele-
brated Dolan case in Fayette
county, and Col, Allen moved
that the case be dismissed. The
jury were held from Saturday un-
til Monday morning and stood on
the first ballot as on the last,
nine for conviction and three for
acquittal. Those holding out for
acquittal were: Joe Quisenberry,
John c. Noel and B. C. Tuttle.
The jury was called in at 10:45
Monday morning and on declar-
ing to Judge Kerr that it would
be impossible to reach a verdict
were dismissed and Col. John R.
Allen, commonwealth attorney,
Immediately moved that case be
stricken from the docket. By q
singular thing the killing Of
Mooney took place just two years
ago Sunday. This is the fifth
trial of the defendant. Winches

.nually from the rich mill products fed
the cows. The roughage is all raised
on the farm, but all the grain is bought.
The owner, n minister with no pre-
vious experience in farming, has read
whatever agricultural literature has
been available. The writer has never
seen farm on which system Is more
pronounced feature. A peculiar fea-
ture of the management is that each
( Of the principal operations is perform
ed on fixed day each succeeding year
or rs near TO IL as the weather will per-
NIT. The farm is more nearly inde-
pendent of the weather than any other
soil the writer has ever seen.
The farm Is strictly dairy farm,
the only products regularly sold being
milk and few hcNd of young cattle
each year. The cows are mainly reg
lstered Jerseys, not only pure bred, but
well bred Scrupulous cleanliness Is
observed.
One man and boy do the labor of
the farm, except In hay harvest and
during the cutting Of silagc, but these
have all they can do On farm of this
size, with high priced land, pastures
are out of the question. There is not
even q barn lot. The thirty head of
stock remain In the barn the year
round.
The writer has never seen thrlftier
better kept herd of cows They are
fed balanced rations every day In the
wear Every feed consists of three
parts, A portion of it is some succu-
lent mnterial--sllage In winter and rye,
Timothy and clover, corn, peas and
bats or some other green crop In sum
mer. A second portion consists of dry
hay or fodder. This Is used TO give
the manure proper consistency and
adds much to the convenience of car
Ing for the cows. A third portion con-
slsts Of mill products, of which three
,.lnds are used-bran, oilmcal and glu.
The proportion of concentrates
IA depends on the condition Of the
cow aud is regulated by the flow OF
milk and the manure consistency.
The soiling crops used are as fol

Light Without Heat Is Inventors S
Claim

M. Dussaud, a French scient-
ist, claims he has discovered a
means for the production of
what he terms Gold ljght.'
which, 1t'is Thought, mayfevolu-
tionize electric lighting.
Starting on the principal that
rest is as essential to matter as to
animal organism, he has con-
structed an electric lamp, in which
the light is concentrated on a sin
gle point by flaments working
successfully; thence the light is
projected through a lens magni-
flying a thousandfold. Thus he
has succeeded in concentrating a
1000 candle power light on one
point and in passing 32 volts into
an eight-volt lamp which with
the ordinary light, would
burst.
Experiments have established
that the new light is absolutely
without danger, as no heat is
given off and itrequires 100 times
less current than the ordinary
lamp. 1t can be worked by Il
tiny battery, or sufficient motive
power can be obtained from a
jet of water from an ordinary
faucet, or even a squirrel turn
ing a cage.
The light, it is said offers great
advantages in photograph, as its
photogenic power is four times
that of the magnesium hashlight.
1t has been tried with great sue
cess at the Biarritz lighthouse
and NJ. Dussand is working on it:
application to searchlights for the
Ministry of War. New Ideas.

A Long Bridge.

Specifications for a suspension
bridge to be built over San Fran
cisco Bay between San Francisco
and oakland were recently pre-
sented to the San Francisco
supervisors by a Los Angeles en-
gineer. His plans call for a
bridge 91a miles in length, includ-
ing its approaches in the two
cities. This bridge, to be the
longest and most massive. in the
world, would be supported by 10
piers, placed 229O feet apart, and
it would cross the bay at an
elevation of 1870 feet above the
water. New Ideas.

Justices of the Peace.

1t is, perhaps, unfortunate
that the election OF the justices
of the peace come at a time when
the minds of the voters are in
tent on the election Of the offices
that are accounted more import
ant. We too often lose sight of
the fact that the Office of justice
of the peace is one that carries
with it large responsibilities and
should be filled by the best quail
fled men of the district.
Under the Kentucky laws the
justices Of the peace, constitut-
ing the fiscal court, are the sole
arbiters of the county's finances.
They pass on the amount of tax
es to be collected. the purposes
for which it is to be expended
and have absolute control of the
county's business. This office is
a responsible one with the re-
muneration so small that the
best equipped men of the distsict
are seldom aspirants for the JOB,
not wanting to sacrifice the time
to the attending to the duties re-
quired by the position. We need
more of the spirit that actuates
people of Great Britain. In that
country the members of the
House of Commons correspond
ing to our national House of Rep
resentatives serve without pay,
unless they have changed the
law since | laid aside my history.
The point wish to emphasize is
not the lack of pay, but the love
of country that causes them tC
serve their conntry free. There
ought to be a patriotic spirit il
this country that would cause the
very best qualified men in eacl
district to serve as justice Of thu
peace, even though at a persona
sacrifice.
You who shirk these responsi
bility have small grounds for
kick when an incompetent mar
is elected. Listen good, now,
am going to make a suggestion
Each succeeding fiscal cour
should be better than its prede
cessor. Now, let a dozen or S
of the citizens of each magisteri
al district get together and call
, meeting Of all the citizens an,
|, discuss soberly and wisely tn
question of which of your Cit
zens would make the best justic
) and agree upon it. Then send
committee of YOUR best citiZer
to urge him to accept it. Thi
will be necessary, for if yo
shall have agreed upon a broa(
, minded, alert, wellinformed mar
. a reader of newspapers and
4 good business man, he will M
f be seeking the office. You wi
S have to appeal to his patriotisl
h to get him to accept.
: Don't let the idea run ava
with you that most anybody vi
make a good justice of the peac
Too frequently they turnout to |
just jackasses of the peace. II

T\HE method Of management on
, fifteen acre farm that raises
all the roughage for thirty
head of stock, seventeen Of
which are cows in milk, cannot fail
to be of interest to farmers In all parts
Of the country. The farm in question
is situated in southeastern Pennsylva-
MIA, near large city. About thirteen
acres are In cultivation, the remaining
two acres being occupied by buildings,
yard, etc. This farm was purchased
In 1881 with mortgage Of 1920 upon
1t. For the first year the farm lacked
$40 Of paying expenses. During the
next six years the mortgage was paid.
The soil of the farm is reddish,
somewhat gravelly clay. 1t was so
run down in 1881 that it did not sup.
port the two cows and one horse kept
upon It,. 1t has been brought up to Its
present remarkable state Of fertility
Solely by the use of stable manure ap-
piled directly from the barn as it was
produced. The system Of handling ma
nure Is such that not an ounce Is lost
either liquid or solid No commercial
Fertilizers have ever been used, and nc
manure has been hauled from the city
The crops are ordinarily all fed and
are thus largely returned to the land
In the manure. OF course much valua

SCHOOL NOTES
Breezy Items of Our School by
the Normal Instructor

The Normal Department of the
West Liberty High School gave
their last and best society enter
tainment last Friday night to the
largest audience that has ever
witnessed a similar entertain
ment this year, and all who saw
it pronounce it the best of
the season. The young peo-
pie of this department have put
forth good efforts to entertain
the friends of the school this
term and the people of the town
have proven their appreciation
by the large audiences they have
given. And in behalf of the
Normal Department'we wish to
thank you, one and all, for the
kindness shown this department
Of the school, and we assure you
that we appreciate all the evil
dencec of the appreciation of our
effort to help the young men and
women in our classes to see
higher and better the things that
lie 'over the HILL"
We see the May examination
coming on steadily and sure but
it has no terrors for the Nor
malites who are now working day
and night to see how high they
can push their grades. 1t is not
so much matter of getting a
certificate with them now but it is
to see how good a one and how
high the grade will be. They
have been laying the founda-
tion for a good certificate all
the winter and we will miss our
guess very much indeed if they
do not surprise themselves with
the result. This teachers train
ing has been our work for a
great number of years and we
feel that we understand the
things necessary to help pupils
through. We never want any
\ OF our pupils to get "a higher
grade than they deserve, for Il
hurts when they do, but we are
always glad and rejoice with
them when they succeed after
working hard to merit it, We
fbelieve in hard work on tie par
of both teacher or pupil regard
less of the wear and tear of cloth
|
| es and the soiling of lily-whitt
hands. Whenever the whole
school is imbued with the spiri
of work, then ignorance and sup
erstition fade like mist before thu
/ sun. We only have a short tim,
r in which you will have a chance t,
visit US and we would like for al
Q the town to see our work befor,
( we close, for it looks now tina
> when we close here it will be
) long ride to visit us in our mex
] school work.
