MAN TALKS
TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS
Frank o. Kreager Delivers Stirring
AddRess Before Meeting in Spo-
kane--Advises Mixing Brains
With Soil'

Frank o. Kreager, head of the de-
partment of elementary science at the
Washington State College, addressed
a meeting of the school directors of
Spokane county in Spokane last Sat
urday. dealing with agriculture and
agricultural conditions in the state of
Washington MIR. Kreager said in
part:
THE farmers of this state are max
ing money on the original investment
for their land, but none of them are
making any profit on the present
valuations. They have been taking
credit for things that belong to God
Almighty, The large part of the sue
cess of many of our farmers is due
to the increased value of the land
. and not so much to what has been
done on the land by the farmers. The
United States raises 13 bushels Of
wheat to the acre. while England
raises 32 bushels and Denmark AZ
bushels.
The English and Danish people
have mixed brains with the soil
when they found that they were hum
CRY. That is what we need to do in
this country Our children are not
going to benefit by the increase in
the price of land as we and our faith
ers did The slips an acre land is
scarce now.
The man who says we have no
need of agricultural schools has
supreme gall 1t takes more brains
and training TO develop 700-acre
tract of land than to make real sue
cess of law or medicine. The farm
ers have not stood up for the agri-
cultural college properly They say
the college is a good thing for the
other boy, but our Jack has brains
and we want him to learn a profess
sion.
Even you folks have squirmed
and fidgeted in those desks while you
have been in here today and what
do you expect of the children? Peo-
pie don't know how to relax and play
We go to ball game and pay four
bits to see some one else play for u.s.
None of us could be trusted far after
year of idleness.
And we talk about sex hygiene
and other things and think we are
doing a wonderful work by warning
and pointing out evils. We have ad-
vertised cigarette smoking for 10
years and now it is so well adyer-
tised that there are three times as
many smokers as at first If told
you grown people that there was
book that could be had by all of you
on the way home but that it was a
bad book and you should not read it,
how many do you think would fail to
get it tonight and read it?'

LIFT QUARANTINE ON UTAH

Secretary Of Agriculture Issues or.

Weber and Other Counties
Regarding FIocks

Washington, ID. c., July 25.-The
secretary of agriculture has issued an
order that on and after August l.,
1913, the quarantine for the contag.
ious disease known as "scabies" of
sheep, hitherto imposed on certain
parts OF Nevada and Utah shall be
amended as follows:
The quarantine Is lifted from the
remainder Of the state of Nevada,
consisting Of the counties OF Elko,
Humboldt and White Pine. The re-
suit of this order is to release from
quarantine the entire state of Nevada
The quarantine is lifted from the fol.
lowing counties in Utah: Box Elder,
Tooele, Juab, Millard, Sewer, Sanpete,
Utah, Salt Lake, Davis, Morgan, We.

Der, Cache, Rich, Summit, Wasatch,
Wayne and Uintah. This leaves un-
der quarantine for sheep scabies in
Utah only the counties of Carbon,
Emery and Grand.
This order, releasing from quaran-
tine the section specifier, indicates
the rapid progress being MADE in the
west by the states and the federal
government in cooperation to free
sheep from scabies, a disease caused
by mite which burrows into the ami
malls skin, causes its wool to come
off in patches, and keeps the animal
thin and emaciated and IN such poor
physical condition as to become the
easy prey to extreme weather. The
methods employed for overcoming
the disease were dipping under state
or federal inspection, and in cases
where the infection was extensive the
laying down of strict quarantine lines

the interview.
In speaking of his wife yesterday,
Ekman said that she had been sub
iect to lapses of hencry for the last
two years.
CT have known her." he said, ito
go to the sore for a pound of butter
and come home with a beefsteak and
to make many such mistakes.
Ekman called at police headquart-
ers yesterday afternoon and was
shown the trunk in which the body
of the murdered girl was found at the
Ogden Union station on June rs.
THAT is the trunk, said Ekman
pointing to it as soon as he had en-
tered the evidence room. A second
later he turned aside with gasp
of horror as Inspector Carlson lifted
the lid of the trunk and exposed the
! blood stained lows and bed clothes
in 1t. A fur cap belonging to Ekman
for which he said he paid SO in Mich
igan, was in the trunk.
"You may take 1t If you wish, said
the inspector holding it out to him
and shaking from the glossy surface
the particles of chloride of lime with
which the contents of the trunk had
been disnfected.
NO, mol" choked the step father
of the murdered girl, and he turned
aside to fight back the tears that
flooded his eyes.
Before he left the station, Ekman
received from Inspector Carlson a
bundle of business papers that had
been found at the Ekman home. They
included contract and deed for a
house and lot on South State street
which Ekman had been buying on the
installment plan.
In the letter which Ekman received
from his wifes hand at the county
Jail Thursday she refers to Anderson
according to an in
depreciation rendered yesterday from
the letter by Ekman for a Tribune
reporter.
He is buffer just as he used to
be-" read Ekman from the letter IF
should ever get out of Jail I would
never go with him. l had planned
to let him take me back to Michigan
and then intended to leave him.
Ekman said that his wife had Of
ten told him that Anderson was a
gambler when she married |
him and that he often used to return |
home from his bouts with the tickle |
goddess of chance to take the last |
money in the house and go back to |
play 1t away.
"And often she had herself worked |
or the money that he took from her"
said Ekman.
