Will Nominate New York Judges.

by United Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2g.-State Re
publican leaders have gathered here
in great numbers to attend the extra
ordinary state convention to select
two men as candidates for judges of
the Court of Appeals Under the
present state law, the state commit
tee and not the convention will name
the candidates. Today's convention
merely will select the names of two
men and recommend that they be
chosen by the committee as the Re-
publican candidates. Boss Barnes
was here early lining up the old ma
chine guard to run things but there
was every indication that so-called
progressive Republicans" would
make bitter fight to eliminate him
entirely.

ARE Y0U DOING YOUR DUTY!

Every student in the University
wants Missouri to have winning
track team this year. This would be
impossible ii our best men stayed
away. In order to have a winning
team in either track or football there
should be plenty of material to
choose from.
Ii you are in the University and
are eligible for track or football it
is your duty to get out for practice
right away. If you have taken part
in high school or college athletics
that is all the more reason why you
should get out and try out with the
other men Don't wait until the last
minute. for it takes practice and lots
Of it TO develop a winning team.
You may not be the best sprinter or
hurdler in the University, but you
may be Just a little better than the
poorest man ON the team, and if so
YOU are just the man needed.
When Nicholson came to the Uni-
yersity of Missouri in 1909 he got
on the team not as a hurdler but as
a high jumper. He was allowed to
enter III the hurdles. however, and
TO the surprise OF everyone soon
proved to be better in hurdlins than
in the high jump. The result was
that Nicholson afterward devoted his
time to hurdling and became Mis-
souri's star high hurdler and one OF
the contestants for the worlds cham
pionship
You don't know what you can dc
until You try. Constant training
works great changes. Perhaps you
too. might develop iqto star. Who
knows?

AGAIN THE "MOVTES"

There is another feather in the
hat of the movies News dispatches
from Paris tell us that moving pic
lures are being used on board French
war ships. and that they have proved
to be a great aid in maintaining dis
cipline.
The idea was conceived some time
ago OF putting the pictures on board
the ships as form of amusement
for the men The pictures became
very popular, in fact, the most popu-
lar form of amusement on the ships.
So the officers took advantage of this
popularity by prohibiting attendance
at the pictures when discipline was
violated
1t was soon found that the number
of offenses was smaller than for
merly. The men were desirous of
seeing the pictures and would re-
frain from violating rules under cir
cumstances where ordinary punish
ment failed OF its purpose.
The movies are with us TO stay.
However rough and vulgar many
pictures shows may have been at
times. and though many of them
arouse emotions beyond what is good
for their audiences, it cannot be dis
puted that the motion picture is one
OF the great educators of the day.
In the field of amusement it is also
4 great blessing. It has made whole
some amusement possible Tor the
mass of city people-the classes that
nave neither the means nor the time
to get out OF the confines of their
neighborhood and to places where
other good recreation can be enjoyed
Let us not condemn the moving
pictures on account of the harm
done in some cases but let us work
for an intelligent censorship, cen

Ohio learned that doors of public

CUT COBB'S MONEY.
Navin Accepts Workmen's Compensa-
ton Law.

Lansing, Mich, May 15.-Should Ty
Cobb. worlds champion batsman and
star PLAYER of the Detroit baseball
team be injured while under contract
with President Navin, of the Tigers,
he would be entitled to only $40 a
week compensation according to in
formation received here. President
Navin has notified the industrial board
of his intention to place all his players
under the provision of the state work
mems compensation law.
Cobb is supposed to draw a salary of
about $1,000 per month. or $500 a week.
If injured he ordinarily would receive
his full salary while on the bench.
But under the state law Cobb's salary
would not be paid. The law provides
that when an employee is disabled he
must be paid IAN amount equal to
one-half his weekly wages. not to ex-
coed $40 a week.

Scientific Agriculture Test at

State Will Produce a Model at
Hutchinson.
GOVERNOR HODGES FAVORS 1T
Orders Demonstration Station
for the Prison.
Opportunity for Products I'm
der Irrigation.

The 1,300-acre farm at the Hutchin-
son reformatory is to become the model
farm in Kansas, so far as scientific
agriculture is concerned That plan
has been decided upon by Governor
Hodges and Speaker w. L. 0ronjaw)
Brown, chairman of the board of cor
rection. Before the close of the present
season, a demonstrat ton station will be
established on the prison farm and an
effort will be made to put the Hutchin-
son institution on the list as the model
Kansas farm.
There are few farms in Kansas more
the Hutchinson reformatory, owned by
the state of Kansas. Almost every
thing that will grow in Kansas, is
raised on this farm. An irrigation
plant has been established on the farm
and more than 200 acres of rich fertile
land are now under the pump and
making new records for crop produc-
tons in the state.
1t was when Governor Hodges.
Speaker Brown and Charles NJ. Har-
the plan for the model farm was
launched. Superintendent Amrine had
taken the state officials through
the stock barns and was showing
them the big new pumping station,
when Brown exploded his idea which
VIII PROBABLY make the HUTCHINSON IN
stitution famous.
Brown Thought of It
You know, governor said Brown,
I'VE ought to have demonstration
station here-get one of these fellows
down from the agricultural college to
look after it. In three years We can
make this the ideal agricultural plant
in Kansas"
Governor Hodges favored the plan
Immediately. So did Harger. So did
Amrine. And the new plan was work
ing before the visitors left the prison
grounds to return to town.
Brown, who originated the model
farm idea, mikes farming and stock
raising with the law business and poll
itics at his home in kingman county.
Looking over the rich, fertile land at
the reformatory, Brown began to spec
ulate as to the possibilities of intensi-
fled farming on this land
AS soon as plans are completed, a
state demonstration station will be To-
Gated on the farm. The work on this
land is handled by the $50 young men
who are inmates of the Institution.
Now Brown plans to replace the regular
farm supervisors with experts from the
agricultural college and to make new

record for crop productions on the lano.
With the 200 acres now under the ir-
rigating pumps, is opportunity for some
new records. Last year-the first year
irrigation was tried on the landau
former records were broken. More
wheat, corn, alfalfa and garden truck
were raised on this land than ever be-
fore. This year the 1912 record will be
broken. The three irrigation pumps on
the farm throw $500 gallons OF water

supply from a small underflow from
the Arkansas river.
Awards of Merit to Boys.
Adding to the plan for the model
farm, it is probable that the prison
boards will order that personal records
of the farm work of each inmate of
the institution be kept separate. Awards
of merit will be made to the boys max
ing the best showing. The present syS-
tenn carries certain awards, but MEM
bers of the prison board will probably
extend the policy to include rewards
to the boys who make the season 8
best showing in the fields.
Following out the plan to increase
the record for crop productions at the
reformatory, it is probable that within
the next year the amount of land under
the pumps will be doubled and every
foot of possible tillable land will be
utilized. That policy means the re-
claiming of a 20-acre strip of sandy
soil, southwest of the prison buildings.
