Two motorists were discussing the
respective merits Of their cars with
great vehemence. according TO story
going the rounds. Finally, one said
why, my cars so quiet that
see that dog ever there? I can run
over him without touching him, and
he won't wake upl''
The dog was calmly lying in the
middle of the road. but to all outward
appearances, seemed no less nervous
or deaf than most dogs.

1t looked like easy money. So the
car was cranked, and went slowly
and fairly quietly over the dog. The
animal didn't stir an inch. Back
at the curb again So changed hands.
Then the motorist with tbs quiet
ear started to repeat the stunt. But
this time he opened the cut-out and
pressed on the Klaxon button. In

CURING INITIALCARvING HABIT
Treatment Applied to SchoOlbOys by
Massaehusells ludee.

Wakefield, Mass. boys viii not
hereafter carve their initials in the
doors of scho lolhouses or other pub
lie buildings. This decision was ar
rived at by crowd Of boys follow
ing an exhibition by two youths Of
removing their initials from the
panel Of Aor in the Greenwo ID
Grammar School
The punishment OF the youths was
made By Judge Charles NJ. Bruce. of
the District Court in Maiden. The
two offenders were Calvin r. Batchel-
der, aged IA, and Hayward Casting,
IA. A few weeks ago the lads on
the panel Of the side entrance to the
grammar school boldly carved &C.
B. " and III. c. with jackknife
The school authorities discovered the
carving few days aiterward with
the result that young Batche lder and
Clayting were summoned 10 appear
in court to answer to q charge OF
mutiIatiug public property. With
his knowledge of boys and their ways
Judge Bruce thought that the best
manner to prevent a repetition OF the
initial carving would be to have the
boys repair the damage in view Of
their companions
He ordered the lads to procure SAM
paper, putty and paint and remove
their initials under the direction of
Chief Police james j. Pollard, of
Wakefield The time fixed fer the
repair work was O'Clock in the
afternoon. long before that hour
boys and girls living in the Green
wood district assembled at the school
house. Chief Pollard arrived prompt
| ly and with him was Truant Officer
Harry A. Simmonds. Batchelder
came bearing a can of green paint.
Soon afterward Clayting appeared,
but had no sandpaper or putty.
Chief Pollard hustled the lads in
search of the necessary articles and
at 80 Clayting and Batchelder were
ready for their task.
Oil was spread on the damaged
panel as a beginning Of the job, A
shout went up from playmates and
acquaintance, but the two lads kept
har at work to complete their work.
After the oiiing the lads got down to
real work and made quick business
of smoothing the cut panel with sand
paper. Then came the task of filling
the holes with putty and smoothing
| the surface. With these parts of
their job completed the lads came TO
the finishing touch, painting the
panel. Batchelder painted over the
side which bore his initials and Cay
ting put a covering Of paint over the
section which bore his initials.
In due time the painting was FIN
ished and the work passed the inspec-
tion OF Chief Pollard The next day
the lads gave the door another coat
of paint. Never again, said the
two boys when asked if they would
be likely TO carve their initials on a
building again.

WELCOME COMING OF LOCUST

rains. which. however. have as yet
not put in an appearance. In the
meantime these bitches are having
their uses, for a plague of locusts
has set in Immense swarms have
for days been passing over the city
Locusts Of course do a vast amount
az damage TO the fields They mul
tiply most rapidly and wherever they
settle they devour every vestige OF
green and leave the land bare. The
Sudanese are waging a vigorous cam
paign against them and their zeal is
whetted by the fact that locusts con.
stitutc for them a very palatable dish.
These insects are usually caught by
the Cyprus system which consists
in digging trenches and erecting on
their farther side tin screens against
which they dash and kiln themselves
eventually falling into the trenches
It is not thought that this invasion
will reach Egypt The last time that
country was visited BY locusts was
in 1904. when NO fewer than 1000
100000 egg masses were destroyed
The work was carried out by over

LOCAL OPTION.
To be the Issue in The U. S. Senatorial
Fight.

EISut.
The action of Hon Thomas parran
in declaring for local option and advis-
ing the Republican party to put local
option plank into its platform, insures
the presence of the local option issue
in the United States Senatorial cam
paign, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Superintendent Anderson of the
Anti-Saloon League said This state
ment of Mr.. Parran practically obli-
gates the Republican party TO adopt a
local option plank and il could not hope
to win If it repudiated the advice on
this question Of its candidate for the
United States Senate and its candidate
for State Comptroller, who are the
two standard bearers in the election.
Mr.. Aanderson further said; Since
there has been an attempt to question
both Mr.. Parran's sincerity and his
past local option record II should be
understood that the Senator and Dele
gates from Calvert County, whom be is
admitted to control, have all voted
solidly for the local option bill in the
sessions of 1910 and 1912.
"Mr. Parran resisted all the pres
sure that was brought TO bear upon
him to have his men vote wrong in the
bitter fight in the last session, whereas
on the other hand Senator Lee himself
fathered the amendment which was
used to kin the local option bill and
three of the four Delegates from his
county went wrong on his advice, and
Mr.. Cummings Whose election he es-
pecially sought introduced the hostile
amendment and threatened to vote to
kill the whole bill if it we're not agreed
upon in conference after the House
had rejected it by vote.
This record, concluded Mr. And
erson, together with Senator Lees
refusal to make any statement as to
his purpose for the future. gives the
people of the state clear cut local
option issue.

Object of the Work and Results Obtained-Some of the
 Prominent Features.
GOING TO THE FARM HOMES
Thirteen Campaigns Have Been Car ried on in Michigan, Ohio and ii'l- rols-Holden's Plan Meets Warm
 Reception With tho Farmers.

Prof. P. G. Holden. director of the Agricultural Extension Department or the International Harvester Company of New Jersey, has planned and put into operation a new method Of ex- tending agricultural knowledge.
 Holden was the originator of agri- cultural demonstration trains; or az ricultural short courses, and many other effective plans. through the agency of which millions of dollars have been added to the agricultural wealth of this country.
 The latest plan of Holden Is to place alfalfa upon every farm. There are three prominent features in his plan:
 1D The introduction of compara'
 tiveiy now crop into the Corn
 Belt, Soxthern and Eastern
 states.
 (2) Going direct to the homes or ths
 farmers, where meetings arc
 hold in the fields. and success
 and fsilure discussed according to local conditions.

 Great Meeting in Ohio.
 At one meeting in Ohio upon the farm of Joseph E. Wing near Mechan- icsbrrg, nearly 1000 people gathered from all parts of Ohio and adjoining states to learn more about alfalfa At this great meeting the Ohio State Al falfa Growers association was organ ized. Over 300 automobiles made up the alfalfa train. It is recorded as the greatest agricultural assemblage in the history of Ohio. Other Ohio counties where the work has been taken up report success on every hand.
 Sangamon and Kane counties, Illi- nois. have both conducted great cam paigns. At one meeting in Williams vile, H., over 1,2OO farmers came to hear the alfalfa lecturers.
 In all of these campaigns which were conducted within a period of about two months nearly S0,000 farm CTS have been reached with the gos- pei of akalfa.
 Al . result also of the campaign work it is ceRssrvativsly estimated that 20e,0e0 acres of alfalfa will be seeded during this and the coming aeasoA.
 Such is the result of the initial work of campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly moro than this tangible result has been accomplished. Every farmer throughout the region where the work was conducted is talking about al falfa The cooperation of tks schools in the territory is very important and effective feature. School ofYicials. from the highest to the lowest. have never failed to appreciate the oppor' tunity.
 Professor Holden has expressed himself az considering it the most wonderful experience and the most beneficial trip from the farm stand point that he has ever taken. But this is not all-wherever the farmers of any community are inter
