FIRST SCHOOL IN WORLD
Kansas Agricultural College Taught
Gentle Art of Cooking.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 31.-The first
school in the United States to teach
girls to cook and sew was at the Kan
sas Agricultural college. and the wo-
man who founded this school spoke to-
day at the celebration of the hftieth
birthday of the college. She is Mrs
Nellie Kedzie Jones, now a widely
known writer, of Auburndale. WIS
President Waters introduced Mrs.
Jones as the mother of domestic sci
ence schools in America" Two thou
and persons in the college auditorium
stood and cheered when she arose to
speak.
A department of home economics
first became a part of the agricultural
college in 1874, but it was not until
1882, when Mrs. Jones came, that this
department began its useful career.
1t started in one room, with one teacn-
err two sewing machines, and a dozen
or more students. Today, Mrs. Jones
found more than 500 young women
studying homemaking in what she
characterized the largest school OF
home economics in the United States
The whole country smiled, Mrs. Jones
said, when Kansas first announced it's
intention of teaching housekeeping.
And she remembered how girls used to
come TO her weeping to ask if they
might be excused from taking the do
nestle science work. She remembered
too, how, few years later. they came
before they We're prepared for the
work, asking eagerly for the instruc
ton 1t was then, she said, that peo-
pie first realized that training for
homemaking was more important than
stuffing the minds of their girls with
dead languages and useless knowledge.

an address by Guy T. Helvering, con-
gresham from the Fifth congressional
district of Kansas, at this mornings

READY FOR N0RMALS,
Washburn Hopes for Revenge for Last
Years Defeat.

The members of the Washburn foot
ball eleven are determined to get re-
venge tomorrow for the defeat of last
year which was administered by the
State Normal eleven. The Normal de-
feated Washburn by a margin of one
point year ago and the Sons of Icha-
bod have not forgotten it.
The Washburn team will go into this
game with practically every regular in
the lineup. The men have recovered
from the effects of the gruelling con-
test with the Oklahoma Aggies which
was played a week ago and have been
doing some hard work during the week.
The Washburn men do not expect a
hard game in the contest with the Nor
ma, as many of the regulars will be out
of the game on account of injuries.
The team showed more aggressive
ness in practice last night than at any
time this week. The men developed the
old time speed which has characterized
the work of the aggregation this fall
The probable lineup for the game will
be Barrett, Whitcomb and Wolfe at
guard; Beales and Rogers, tackles;
ends, Trobert and Billings; quarter.
Elbe; halves. Bearge and Hardy; full
back, Forbes.

Pasquale Amato, known to Topeka by
reputation and records only, made his
first appearance in Kansas Thursday
afternoon at the Grand. The audience,
who had. waited expectantly for his ar
rival, was not disappointed The after
noon was given additional enjoyment by
the playing of the baritone's young ac-
companist. Giuseppe Banboscheck The
concert was secured by Mrs. Jean Park
hurst-Guettler as the second number of
her series.
Amato, who has been a member of the
Metropolitan Opera company for four
years, holds the same position in regard
to other baritones that CaTuso has held in
regard to other tenors. Having aban-
doned a naval career to study music,
Amato now. possesses a rich and finished
baritone voice unexce1led in this country.
Since his arrival in New York five years
ago, he has divided most of his time be-
tween the Boston and Metropolitan
houses. He made a concert tour to the
Pacific coast two years ago, visiting only
the larger cities.
The gem of Yesterdays concert was the
famous prologue from Pagliacci. which

Seeing Booster Tells Why Move
ment Deserves Support.
The following effective boost for
the inter-parochiaI fair is quoted from
the Assumption Pioneer Of Sept. 49,,
'sMr. e. D. Gianelloni, Editor AS
sumption Pioneer and Secretary
Assumption Progressive League,
Napoleonville. La.
My dear Friend:-It was most
gratifying to note how promptly and
unanimously the police jury appro-
priated the sum of $100 toward the
fair to be held at Donaldsonvilie In
the first days of October, under the
auspices of the Inter-ParochiaI Fair
Association, of which this parish is
an honored member.
Through our small but determined
committee of the Progressive League.
we have endeavored fos quite while
to inaugurate a movement similar to
the one SO successfully launched at
Donaldsonville last Monday, so that
the great possibilities of this parish
along the lines OF divecsification OF
crops and industries may be made
more demonstrable and more appar-
ent to our energetic citizenship, that
they may more efficiently and more
fully reap the benefits OF these pos
sibilities, as yet undeVeloped and in
a measure as yet unrealized.
Fairs OH this kind will ineuleate, a.
better understanding between our va
rious enterprises, agricultural and in
dustrial, will create a greater feeling
of friendship and cooperation, and
will bring about that interchange of
views, of opinions and of experiences
SO essential to the continued pros
perity Of allied communities.
"It had been our fond hope to see
our town and parish take the inttia-
tive in such a progressive movement
which directly and indirectly Is
bound to be of incalculable benefit
to our community, but in this we
are disappointed, either because the
time had not arrived for the exploi-
tation Of such movement here, or
because our efforts, though, sincere,
unselfish and energetic, were misdi-
rected Or ill-advised.
IF our people will aggressively Coz
operate with this inter-parochial fair,
il they will send exhibits to it. Il
they will attend it, and assist to the
best OF their effort in making 1T a
success, this parish is bound to be-
come a beneficiary thereby In eff
cheney and experience, and it may he
that the past efforts Of our Progress
sive League, along such lines. VIII
bear fruit, will be better understood
and better appreciated. and the
| aroused interest IN these progressive
Ideas may mean the efficiency and
! the ultimate success OF our League.
II have been closely associated
| with you in such movements In the
past, and / fully appreciate your civic
pride and the effectiveness OF your
efforts along these lines, and hope
that as a private citizen, as an edf-
tor and as the most efficient secretary
Of our League, you will do all that
may be done to make this new asso-
ciation and its fair q great success.
Sincerely yours,
.'R. j. LeGARDEUR." "

A striking example OF true and
practical philanthropy and benevo-

New Orleans press despatch, which
we copy from the Monroe NeWs-Star
of the 18th instant:
Recently in the vicinity of Mon
roe, La, thirty negroes were given
farms, stock, credit at bank, good
houses and farming implements. Wax
ing up one morning almost paupers.
they were visited by the man whose
father owned their fathers, and the
gifts were made in a quiet and unas-
suming way.
William Reilly, sr., president OF
the Luzianne Coffee Company, about
a week ago announced in his office
he would be out for a few days. He
gave his reason to the inquisitive that
he had a little business to transact
at Monroe, his old home.
In the same quiet and unassuming
manner he went to Monroe, accom-.
panied by his wife, and, meeting the
descendants of his fathers slaves, he
ordered them to meet him next day
in a body. At the home of one OF
the negroes he met them, and sitting
quietly on the edge of the porch, sur
rounded by the blacks, he made his
proposition.
Boys said Mr.. Reilly, i want
