Jay Knowing Facts and Conditions Ru'
raj People Could Work Together
Guide to Progress.

The present day movement for ths
enrichment of rural life has foune
one of its most practical aids In what
n lis known as the social survey; that Is
b. detailed and systematic inquiry into
those facts and conditions which per
tain to the interests Of a country dis.
drict and which may be changed OF
utilized for the community's prog
Tess.
It is doubtful that the average citi
zen In most counties has any very def
Unite idea concerning the conditions
good or bad, OF his immediate environ
fment, says the Atlanta Journal He
scarcely is prepared to think clearly
Lor to act efficiently with his neighbors
In efforts for social betterment. AS q
result VIC have many well intentioned
theories, but relatively few practical
achievements.
A social survey gathers complete
and authentic information on schools,
churches, highways, health, means OF
transportation, markets and on all
conditions that concern the peoples
oommon life. Such survey would
show among other things the products
bf particular county; 1t would show
the growth or decline of agriculture
Interests. whether the trend of popu-
lation was away from the farm, and
If SO the reasons; 1t would show what
crops could be grown most profltably,
what nnnnf.fyyri%jnc
aected, what tendencies should be en-
couraged and what should be checked.
The Ohio board of agriculture has
recently done some very effective
work In this direction, as has also the
University of Wisconsin; but no eff
forts of the kind are more interesting
than those undertaken few seasons
ago by the Georgia club of the State
Normal school at Athens.
This club, composed of members of
the student body and. the faculty
with associate members in various
parts Of the state, applied itself to the
study of economic and social condi-
lions in particular counties and, to
make the work as specific as possible,
each student, or group of students,
was assigned his home county for in
tvestigation. He would gather as
many facts as he could, classify them
and interpret them. Then all this In
formation was published in a report
and distributed among leading citizens
of the county under review. An inn
.portant feature of this research was
that the students kept in close touch
with the people OF their respective
counties so that their findings were
well balanced and carried a direct 10
cal appeal. 1t Is matter of record
that these reports have frequently
served to awaken q county to needs
or opportunities which had long been
neglected.
The social or rural survey Is as es-
sentiai in Its sphere as Is a soil sur
vey to the farmer or a chemical analy-
sis to the manufacturer. It furnishes
the starting point and guidance to
rue progress.

What Do You Know About This7

Fort Worth, Tex.-Because he kiss
ed mule, J. H. Kelley, laborer, was
fined s33 in the city police court the
other day. He was arrested by Pa
trolman Stanley, who explained to the
court that he found Kelley on the
street fondly caressing big brunette
mule; kissing it on the nose, and the
animal refused to reciprocate. Kelley
pleaded for leniency, promising that
he would never, never kiss a mule
again, but the Judge sternly turned
him down and imposed the highest fine
the law allowed him.

Giving Little Ones a Show.

When there are different sized
chicks in the yards care should be
taken to see that the little ones get
their proper share of the feed. The
big ones are apt to overcroWd the lit
tie fellows and push them aside. With
Stats not too far apart you can arrange
a place for the little ones to feed in
peace, and feed the large chicks out
side.

MRS. PANKHURST NOT
NEEDED IN INDIANA

I'VE can paddle our canoes here in
Indiana without the sensationalism
which Mrs. Pankhurst gives to wom-
ems suffrage. We do not approve her
militant methods but we feel that
we are not in position to judge the
women of England and the same meth
DDS might be used here if it was found
necessary" was the statement of
Mrs. S. w. Traum, president of the
Women's Franchise league in Rich
mond, when asked relative to the
feeling on the part of the members as
to the admittance of Mrs. Emmaline
Pankhurst to this country.
Il do not believe that Mrs. Pank-
hurst would do any good here if she
were to lecture or demonstrate the
methods which made her the object
of several countries continued Mrs.
Traum. 1T is unnatural for women
to act the way the women of England
have acted in trying to get the vote,
However, we do not Judge them be
cause we feel that they must be justi-
fled in some way which has not been
made public.
Il don't believe militant methods
will ever be necessary in this country,
but one can't tell what will happen. If
on the suffrage advocates, ! feel sure
that they would be resented in some
way here. Not, however, in the meth

MAY CLOSE SCHOOL
TO STOP DISEASE

Three school children, members of
the same family, took sick with scar
let fever Saturday and as a result a
medical examination will be made at
No. IA, school house on the New Paris
pike every day this week for signs of
a probable further spread. The
school authorities do not believe the
disease will spread and therefore have
not closed the school. Should another
case develop, the school will be tenn
porarily closed.
The Spring Grove school, which
was closed last week, has been reop-
ened as there has been no additional
cases of scarlet fever reported
among pupils of the school,

tea party took place recently in the
Zeppelin passenger airship Sachsen.
The guests. twelve women and eight
men, are all prominent in Berlin So

Sachsen carried altogether thirty per-

and three-Quarters.
One of the guests, telephoning from
Potsdam aerodrome, said:
I'VE cruised about fifty-fve miles
crossing Patsdam, the Wannsee, Char
lottenburg, Grunewauld and Berlin.
Tea was served as we sailed down the

ratus, or anything requiring a fire, is
carried in the Sachsen, because of the
danger of a gas explosion, so our tea,
milk, water and toast had to be taken
up already warmed"

USES MOTOR PLAN
British Vogue Robs Hotels
and Motor Cars.

LONDON, Oct 20-The most versa
tile rogue in England just now is a
man who gives his name as Thomas
Watson. But his aliases radiate from
this name like spokes from a hub.
Some of his psuedonyms are Craig,
Jennings, Watts and Charlton. His
latest stunt has consisted in touring
the country in a big motor car and
robbing hotels.
At Leisecster where he was arrest
ed, he went in great style to leading
fashionable hotel in a well appointed
motor car, accompanied by his chauf-
feur and footman in livery.
The chief constable informed the
magistrates that the prisoner was also
wanted by the Leeds city police on a
charge of stealing jewelry and other
valuables worth $500 from the Hotel
Metropole. He was also wanted by
the Sheffield county police on one
charge, by the Sheffield city police on
six charges and by the police at Brad
ford Halifax, Wakefield, Knaresbor-
Ough. Huddersfeld, York, Derby, Alter
ton and Manchester on charges of a
similar character.

This industry includes the manutac-

total capital employed was 1867, 844, 432

New York was the leading state in

The number of wage earners employ
ed in the state increased 80 per cent
during the decade ending 1909, while
the value of products and the value
added by manufacturers more than
doubled.
PENNSYLVANIA ranked second
among the states in 1909 and 1904 in
value of products and in value added
by manufacturers, though in the aver
age number of wage earners employ
ed, it dropped from second place IN
1904 to fourth place in 1909. In 1903
New Jersey, which showed the most
rapid development of any of the six
leading states in the industry, ranked
third in number of wage earners and
value of products, advancing from
fourth place in number of wage earn
ers and from fifth place in value OF
products during the preceding five
years. Michigan, which occupies a po
sition of minor importance among the
states in this industry, shows the larg
est percentage of increase in all three
items, while Connecticut, Indiana and
Wisconsin also show large relative

FIRE THREATENS

house in which they had been dwell

the firemen subdue the flames. AS
soon as it was known that neither of
the aged women was injured His Holt
ness went to the private chapel and
gave thanks in prayer. Occupants of
the house lost almost all their posses
sions, but as soon as the building is
rebuilt the Popes sisters will return.
