THOUGH TERROR IN The MOVIES,
HE'S GEN TLEMAN IN REAL LIFE

Kansas City. Mo-, Oct. 4.-'There
goes Broncho Billy,'' watch out.
! he'll take a shot at you,'' Wonder
who he's going to kill now,"
THESE were some of the remarks
overheard by tall man, who happens
to be a perfect gentleman in real life,
as ne walked down the streets of Kan
| sas City for the first time the other
day, followed by a crowd of yelling
youngsters. The man was Gilbert NJ.
Anderson, a "rootin', tootin', shootin'
son-of-a-gun in the movies known
as BrOncho Billy, and the remarks
were being made about him.
EVERYWHERE [ go 1 find the kids

mind the kids, but it is tiresome to
have grown men come up and try to
talk to me just because they have seen
me in the pictures.
You know there are persons silly
enough to believe 1 am the sort of
person L appear to be in the pictures.

shoes if there was any real shooting

kitten, yet strangers all think I am a
bandit-at least reformed one.
las a matter of fact I'm just like
any other actor. I was in a little
stock company eight years ago and 1

money. If L hadn't had the first
chance I'd probably be walking down
Broadway today looking for an en-
gagement and lying about my salary
like the rest of them"
Broncho Billy says the ranches are
almost depopulated because all the
cowboys want to be motion picture
actors.
Give a cowboy pair of chaps and
a wide hat and let him ride up to the
eye of the camera and he's the hap
p1est person on EARTH" Broncho Billy
says. They would leave the ranch
and work in the pictures for nothing
if We wouldn't pay them. They all
want to be leading men. Girls don't
get stage struck any more-they get
picture struck Hundreds of them
come to us and offer to work for
nothing, but we engage experienced
actors only.

and all of it was stolen by the prop
erty men. They take anything they
get their hands on. The director tells
a property man to get a piano and
props brings it back. Heaven knows
where he got it.
You ought to see our 'squidge.'
The 'squidge' is the diplomat, the fix

son. Ours used to be a circus spieler

WHY IS The PULPIT
BARRED FOR WOMEN?

ton eminently suitable for a woman,
and the wonder is that she has not
availed herself of it more than she has.
Would women flock to church to
hear sermon delivered by a pink
checked young lady in a dream of y
dress? Would thep invade the pastors
study to confide their troubles to a
woman minister? Would they have
the same faith in her ability to COM
fort? Would they pay high pew rents
to hear the gospel expounded by ia
elderly person in skirts and specta-
Giles?
AS to the men-they don't go to
church much, anyway, but one won
ders if they would add to the congre-
cation perceptibly were the preacher
woman; if they would flock to
church in the case of a young and
pretty preacher and stay away if she
had grown old in the teaching of her
flock.
About the time a woman preache:
had grown wise in sympathy and
methods of help, probably the young
bachelors of the congregation woull
demand she be retired for a young
pastor.
AS COR a woman minister living
cheaper than a man because she
wouldn't be burdened with a family
would We condemn the woman minis
ter to remain celibate? And woull
we expect her to iron her own shir,-
waists between calls?
The woman minister would need
FULLY as much salary as a man, proc
ably more, for she'd have to dress bet e,
ter and oftener, while the clergyman
may wear his one suit for all occa-
sions She would undoubtedly have to
entertain more, instead of having

Athens, Ga, March "a summary
of the work which the Georgia state
College of Agriculture has done dur
ing the past year, has just been issued
by President Andrew M. Soule, reveal
ing some remarkably interesting facts
and figures. The college farm whicl
had an income of $2,757.24 in 1908,
yielded during the past year an in
come of $S,75725, and net earnings
amounting to $2.246.36 In 1908 the
farm was Improbable, in fact, leach

years, however, under scientific meth

Q paying proposition.
The college dairy, operated by mod
ern methods, brought an income of
| 81, O99.44 from a herd of 80 cows, and
net earnings of $1,S176O for the past
year.
These two items demonstrate the
practicability of the instruction now
being given the $50 students who are
attending the college, 1911 farmers
of the state reached during the past
year by extension lecturers, the 10000
corn club boys, the 4,497 people who
attended the girls canning clubs, the
$4,000 farmers reached with bulletins,
the 100000 or more farmers reached
each week through the weekly papers
by use of an agricultural plate ser
vice and others who have been in
structed in various ways by the col
lege.
The college was re-organized five
years ago. At that time it had pract;
cally no equipment and very few stu
dents. At present the property 3
worth 100000; it has an attendance
! of students of $50, with 1880 in
/ structed during the five-year period
/ Starting with a staff of five persons,
the college now has forty-four. The
facilities and equipment are unsur-
passed in the South, but are far from
adequate to meet the requirements Of
the rapidly growing student body.
Starting five years ago with 10
live stock, the college now has mo-.
than $50 head, representing one breed
of horses, two breeds of hogs and
tire of cattle. Farm buildings and
animals are now valued in excess Of
10000.
The state of Georgia has appropria.
ed 100000 to provide buildings in
which instruction should be given to
students. This sum is largely repre-
scented by the main building and its
equipment. No other state institution
has received so little for buildings
from the state.
Excellent progress has been made
during the year in research work.

You know, while women delved ut
home, turned their old clothes, did the
washing, scrubbing, cooking and bah
tending, carried the wood and the wa
ter and bore with the grouches of the
"overworked" man of the house, mas
culinity took to itself all of the soft
jobs.
For instance-all the ministers were
men.
Now, now don't mean to say that
it's always soft job to be minister.
But it's fact that lot of ministers
have a soft job. They made it illegal
or something like that, for women to
stand in the pulpit
OF course, that was some time ago.
To this day, however, some of the
churches consider it not quite proper
for woman to have voice in church
affairs; she may not be church o.
ficer.
Of course, there's not the slightest
objection toward women working their
fingers off getting up and cooking AMI
serving church supper at Is to 20
cents plate to help pay for the or
gan or the new building or anything
that will help take the burden from
the mems shoulders. And if it wash
the women who got together AMI
sewed for the poor, L mafraid lot Of
the poor would be insufficiently
clothed
But this is depressing from the mai:
point
Why haven't we more women min
listers?
There are a very few that we occa-
sionally hear of. Women have en-
tered other professions in much larg or
numbers. Look at the number of Wy
men doctors we now have. Ther"
are quite a few women lawyers. Fro.H
architects to blacksmiths, women are
undertaking everything. But they
still fight shy of the ministry,
Yet, according to Mrs Catherine

herself, having for years had charge
of the Unitarian church at Kalama

You should seek the women as you

They could live cheaper and would
