Home Plots.
1.-THE pupils pursued the same
methods in preparing, planting and
cultlvating their home plots as in the
case of the school plot, various MEM

the questions raised by individuals
with reference to their respective
problems, by looking up the matter
in books and by free exchange of ex-

appropriate practical work for the
girls was also attempted and very
good beginning made During the
fall and winter, a group of the girls
studied poultry raising. Certain Of
the boys who evinced desire to take
up this work were also admitted to
the class. The two topics that were
studied were the good points Of a
chicken and brooding. The pupils
used books provided for the school
library and agriculture department
bulletins. They also had the advan-
tage of the cooperation of a success
fui poultry raiser in the community
who gave them good points in re-
Spouse to questions and also gave
several talks to the class.
Baked Bread for Homes
I'm the spring the seventh grade
girls took up bread making under the
guidance of one of the teachers. They
also utilized the government bulletins
to good advantage and baked bread
for home use by way of practise for
q month prior to the time set for the
exhibit. About tensof the girls were
given a remuneration of fifty cents a
week for doing the family bread
baking.
I'm determining whether the school
plot could be divided most advantage
ously into square individual plots or
rectangular ones, in computing the
probable cost of fencing the entire
plot, the cost of fertilizing and of
spraying, also the comparative cost of
different spraying mixtures. the
pupils used their knowledge of arith-
metic. The class in making several
terminating boxes and window boxes
made use of their manual training.
Better Letter Writing.

culture at New Brunswick. A plot

plots were examined first for tneir
obvious physical distinction. such as
sandy loan. etc, and afterward Tor
fine important chemical constituents

by the soil tests.
This was followed with study OF

Lineman Resumes Work
After Thrilling Experience

Joseph Conlon. lineman employed
by the Pub ic Service Corporation,
has a superabundance of nerve. He
showed 1t today when he mounted
pole in Kearny avenue. Kearny, to
work on a cable forty feet above the
ground. Conlon yesterday descended
the same pole after he had crept for
more than twenty feet along the
aerial cable.
While Conlon was seated in boat
SWANS sling suspended from the
cable one of the side ropes gave way,
and with movement almost as rapid
as the juice that passes through the
cable. he shot his right hand up-and
managed to grasp the cable. For
moment or two he swung pendulous~
ly, twisting and turning with the
strength of his right arm alone keep
ing him from dropping TO the side
walk. After an effort he drew himself
up and grabbed the able with his left
hand also and then, monkey fashion,
made his way to the nearest pole,
which he descended.
AS Conlon reached the ground he
turned to several bystanders and
said: Gee. hope the boss don't hear
OF this. He'll think I'm little bic
careless"

WOMEN LEAD new
YORK STRIKERS
Twenty Thousand Additional
Workers Go 0ut.

New York, Jan. 1.-two women
are demonstrating their abilities as
labor leaders in two large strikes here.
Twenty thousand girl workers in
the dress and waist industry who are
joining the great strike of garment
workers, are led by Josephine Casey,
a national organizer of the Ladies'
Garment Workers union. She is the
same young woman who led a strike
of corset makers In Kalamazoo a few
years ago successfully.
The striking walters, whose number
is much disputed, but who are con.
~tinuing to cause considerable EN-.
barrassment to the hotel and restau.
rant trade, are being virtually led by
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, an organizer
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, although Ettor and G~iovannitti,
the recently conspicuous figures in
the Lawrence, Mass, textile strike,
furnish most Of the oratory.

Pittsburg Banker Again Occupies
Former Position.

P~ittsburg, Jan. lev. w. Ramsey
OF Pittsburg has accomplished what
perhaps nj other banker in the world
ver did. He was elected TO his for
mer position as president OF the Ger
man National bank. although on Feb.
9, 1909. he was convicted Of seeking
to bride certain Pittsburg councilmen.
Judge Frazer sentenced him 10 one
year and six months in Western peni-
Tertiary. His appeal to the superior
court was refused and March IL, 1910,
he entered the big prison. President
Taft pardoned him after he had
served fourteen months. He left the
prison May, 10. 1911, and through the
influence of certain powerful finan-
ciers was given a position of trust in
the Third National bank. The same
influential men made II possible to
elect him to the presidency of the
German National.

would ask her whether she has beer
hired to write such a testimonial
whether her testimonial represents the
truth.

something to do besides write letters
that she is a woman of moderate
means and cannot afford to write these
letters and pay her own postage. !

Mrs. Boyle is a very estimable lady
and no doubt you will both profit by
being acquainted with each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna

Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter. which is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
