DEMONSTRATION ii
Farm PICNIC
FIRST OF SERIES OF PIcNIcs
WAS HELD YESTERDAY AT HAT
TON - INSPECTION OF FIELDS
ON DEMONSTRATION FARM -
SEVERAL ADDRESSES MADE.

The first of a series Of picnics that
will be held on the state demonstra-
ton farms was held at Hatton on
Saturday. The first thing On the pro-
gramme was going over the fields in
cluded in the demonstration farm. The
rotation praCticed is corn followed by
two crop of wheat-this in turn with
barley seeded to clover, and left in
clover the fifth year.
The corr is doing very fine. Wheat
is doing we'll but needs rain. The
clover sown last year has a splendid
stand but the weather has been too
dry for it TO make much IF a crop.
The alfalfa soWn in 1910 was very
heavy. The first cutting is good for
two and one-half tons per acre. In
digging up plants in this field they
were found to be very abundantly
supplied with the nodules. The two
outstanding crops, then, were the
corn and the alfalfa. The dry weather
did not seem to have affected either
of these.
The meeting was then adjourned to
the grove where addresses were made
by w. R.. Porter and w. c.. Palmer of
the agricultural college, and A. E. Mel
son of the Better Farming association,
also j. E. Eastgate of Larimore.
Similar picnics will be held on each
Of the t~wenty-siX demonstration farms
during the month of July.

Japan's Growing Population.

Seattle Post Intelligencer: A casual
glance at the population figures OF
Japan is enough to convince that it is
either a question Of what is popularity
known as race suicide for the inhabi-
tants of Nippon or expansion. There
must be some check to the population
or more ground, for the laws of
physics and experience prove that two
bodies, even human bodies, cannot oc-
cupy the same place.
The natural increase of Japan's pop
ulation is 1926 per cent, while that
of the United States is but 2.10. Jap
ans population is increasing about six
times as fast as ours, and at that rate
Japan should overtake us some time
within the next seventy five years.
The orient in the past has found
itself confronted with this condition
and has adopted harsh methods of self
preservation measures which 1t Is
doubtful would be tolerated now byNa
civilization that is essentially humani-
tartan. Child murder and child deser-
ton on a national scale have not been
unknown when. the apparent limit OF
maintenance was reached.
India is confronted with a similar
problem. now that the natural checks
of disease and war have been remov-
ed; Java's population is ~outgrowing its
bounds, and the struggle for existence
in China due to overpopulation is only
too well known.
1t would appear that science has a
desperate ask ahead of it to provide
food in greater abundance. Under pres
ent methods of agriculture there is a
distinct limit to the productivity of the
soil, and greater and greater demands
daily made upon it. After all, the world
is only a kitchen, and every housewife
knows that the cupboard cau be eaten
bare.
In n event, unless there is some
radical change in life, the future will
not be without it's problems.

Nd MORE SPECIAL
PARCEL STAMPS
POSTMASTER GENERAL HAS Is-
SUED ORDERS THAT COMMENCE
ING TOMORROW ANY KIND OF
STAMP MAY BE USED ON PAR
cELs-A BIG CONVENIENCE.

The postmaster general has issued
an order disseminating the use of spe-
cial parcel post stamps, commencing
July 1 (tcmorrow). Ordinary stamps
can be used on parcel post packages
either for postage, insurance or for c.
o. D. purposes. and parcel post stamps
can be used on letters or third class
matter. Commemorative stamps car
also be used for all purposes. No more
parcel post stamps will be printed
when the present supply has been ex-
hausted.
This order will be a great convent
ence to the public and to the employees
of the postoffice department every
where. These special stamps Were or
iginally required so that the depart
ment could determine about how much
was received directly from this new
department and what it cost the gov
eminent extra.
1t is interesting to note in his con-
nection that only three weeks ago the
Tri-State Postmasters' association at
st. Paul passed a resolution asking the
department to dispense with the use of
these special stamps as SOC as posi-
BILE.

ORMERDEANPREACHED
Rev. Hugh [. Burleson. Preacher at
Gethsemane Cathedral Yesterday,
Exhorted Hearers.

A goodly congregation greeted Rev.
Hugh L. Burleson. former dean and
pastor, at Gethsemane cathedral yes
terday morning. He was the preacher
for the day. For his text the rever-
end gentleman selected Exodus iii, II,
And Moses said unto God who am
I that l should go down unto Pharaoh
and that l should bring forth the
children Of Isreal out of Egypt He
said it sounds like a paradox, but it is
true that we cannot keep our chris
tan faith without giving it away.
There are two things like opposites,
holiness and h~elpfulness. 1t used to
be- that men thought their religious
life was bettered by withdrawing from
the world, but It did not take long for
the world to find out that love can
not be kept, it must be bestowed.
Moses thought that he could keep
holier by withdrawing himself into the
wilderness where he remained for for
ty years, the second period of his
life, but found that he had made. a
mistake, and the third period of his
life was spent in trying to lead the
people of Isreal to a land they did not
deserve. Some people think that chris
tianity exists to make them good-it
exists to make them good for some
thing! Holiness cannot exist without
helpfulness. These are the days when
the finest thing in life is the service
of n christian life to another chris
tan life.
Dean Dokling assisted iE the service,
he taking the opening prayers and the
lessons. For the o%ffertory Mrs. A. =.
Stephens gave a beautiful rendition
of the Twenty-third Psalm, The Lord
Is My Shepherd, to a setting by Liddle.
At the close of the service Rev. Mr..
Burleson met a great many of his
former Pensioners as they left the
church.

AN oLD-TIME SLEEPER.
Rip Van Wrinkles Predecessor Sue
cumbed to Tired FEELING Every Year.

London Chronicle: The modern Rip
Van Wrinkle had an eighteenth century
predecessor in one Nicholas. Hart. But
Hart was able to turn his sleeping to
good account. He made money out
of it. The Daily Courant of Aug. 8,
Hi, contained the following adver-
tisement: Nicholas Hart, who slept
last year in st. Bartholomew hospital,
intends to sleep this year at the Cock
and Bottle in Little Britain"
An account of this astonishing per-
son was published in The Spectator.
Addison, who made investigation, re-
ports that Hart sis every year seized
with a periodical fit of sleeping that
begins upon the 5th of August and
ends on the 18th of the same month;
that on the 1st Of that month he grew
dull; on the End, appeared drowsy; on
the 3rd, fell a yawning; on the 4th, be-
gan to nod; on the 5th, dropped to
sleep; on the 9Th. was heard to snore;
on the 7th, turned himself in, his bed;
on the 8th, recovered his former pos
ture; on, the 9th, fell to stretching; on
the 10th, about midnight, awaked; on
the 18th, in the morning, called for a
little small beer"

Good Tobacco

The big crop of North Howard
county has been cut and is in the
sheds. Few people in this part
the county realize how much to-
bacco is raised upon the mag
nifcent farms of Lloyd Herring
and other farms in the Forest
Green neighborhood. Mr.. Her
has four large sheds.
North Howard now looks like
a garden spot. The progressive
farms of that part Of the county,
headed by viii Denny, Leon
Fife, Lloyd Herring, raised
fifteen dollars per mile for road
improvement Saturday when
they learned that they stood a
good chance Of getting the Fay
cite Keytesyille road through
their community. The road will
be widened and graded and will
be put in excellent condition,
say these men. Howard county

right. There were many men
present who looked responsible
and said they would take upon
themselves this obligation if
the roads went their way.
At so cents the mile, one
dragging across the township, 6
miles across, would cost Sc with
a maximum of $50 for this work.
This means that if the price can
be maintained at so cents, each
mile of road may be given the
equivalent of Is miles of drag
ging or Is round trips per year
with the 8-foot drag. This ought
to maintain the roads in pretty
good shape.

Baseball Draws

O0oSOOAh DA0Wo
There are over 35 leagues
under the National Commission,
with 6 to 8 baseball clubs a piece
playing an average, possible, of
$50 games each to the season.
II is estimated that the average
attendance daily on the games is
$50, 600 to 1000 people, It is
further estimated that the unor-
ganized clubs draw half as many
more and if SO then it means
that 80. 900, 600 people at mini
mum pay for seeing baseball
games each season. This is not
hard to believe for the Worlds
series last year drew a total of
$4,000 for 8 games and the
Giants alone played to $50, 900
during that season.
However, popular interest
cannot be measured by these
figures. Ad up the amount of
newspaper space and telegraph
service that is devoted to base
ball every day in the season, and
nearly every city any size gets
the returns by wire, and in adj
dition to this. the playograph is
shown to very nearly as many as
actually witness the games.
Who can estimate the number of
people who daily watch the bulle-
tins, and the extras-of plays
telegraphed in by special wires
from the grounds and forms
made up and gotten of the press
so fast that they meet you,
fresh, practically on every cor
ner until the game that is being
reported is over. One New
York paper estimates that Il
sold 100, 600 extras daily during
the World Series. One Cleve-
land paper sells $4,000 extras OF
sporting news every day.
Baseball is truly the national
game and the interest in it is by
no means confined to men and
boys. The science of the game
is SO well understood and execu-
ted by many players that their
performance appears nothing
short of marvellous, yet there
are numbers of people in the
world, even among those who
have seen professional games,
who profess the belief thai
there is no such a thing as &
curve ball, but these also believe
THAT the sun goes round thu
earth and that women suffrag,
would be advantageous and thaf
prohibition is a possibility.

Another Story

Trouble broke out in Keytes-
vile, No., Friday morning and a
call was sent to Chillicothe for
the bloodhounds. An officer left
on the afternoon train for that
place. A tobacco warehouse
was mysteriously set on fire and
destroyed early Friday morning
and an attempt made to burn a
residence in the vicinity of the
barn. 1t is reported that the
fire of incendiary origin, was the
result of a tobacco war, similar
to the one that caused a reign of
terror in Kentucky two or three
years ago. Chillicothe Tribune.
