Addison, H., Oct. 25.-one OF the
bcidest daylight jobs ever pulled off
in this section occurred this morning
when two masked men entered the
State bank here, held up Cashier Fish
er, procured S10O in cash, shot Ed
ward Rodermund, assistant cashier,
inflicting a fatal wound, and escaped
In a waiting automobile.
The job had evidently been care
fully planned, for the men entered
the bank at an hour this morning when
it is usually occupied only by the
cashier. But for the presence Of mind
OF Cashier Fisher. thousands Of dol
lars would have been added to the
booty of the robbers.
When the robbers ordered Fisher
to turn over all the cash in the bank,
he handed them 800 which was on
MS desk and stated to them that $l5.-
600 in currency was in the vault
which amount he would get Step
ping into the vault presumably after
the money, he suddenly closed the
door. There was no time for the use
OF dynamite, for at that moment Ed
ward Rodermund. assistant cashier
stepped into the bank. Immediately
both robbers opened fire as they
rushed to the door. Rodermund fell
mortally wounded, and the robbers es
capped with the 800.

The training of country children to
grow two bushels OF corn where one
5pshel grew before is q commendable
t-sog. To bring this about many
ehaAges may be made in the pro
grams Of most country schools. Arith-
netic problems may be worked out In
terms Of corn and potatoes and cows.
Reading may be largely confined to
the subjects OF interest to country
boys and girls. Essays on farm top
les may be written In place Of the
usual parsing and other grammar
work This viii lay . foundation for
much practical work in the later
years OF school life.
Older students trained in the ele-
mentary principles Of agriculture
could conduct termination tests Of
corn and grain. Herds could be test
ed. rations could be worked out for
live stock. records could be kept Of
poultry. garments could be made for
home, and the art of cooking could be
cultivated. These and many other
practical things could be worked out
with the school house as q center.
Added to this 10 the social pleasure
that could be obtained by everyone in
the community when a permanent in
