House Committee May Attempt to OlSCredit
Mu|ha||'S Testimony Before SendtorS---
Parents of Witness Wife Summoned.

There was one distinctly discordant
note in the interchange of correspond
ence between the two committees to-
day. Chairman Garrett of the house
committee said that one McChad.
after being served with a subpoena BY
the sergeant-atarms Of the house to
appear before the house committee
had been advised by the senate com
mittee or one Of it's members to dis
regard that subpoena.
If the senate committee proposes
to protect witnesses against a house
subpoena" said Mr.. Garrett, "our com
mittee will be seriously embarrassed
and handicapped"
Colonel Martin NJ Mulhall braved
the charge of contempt of the subpoena
of the house served upon him last
night by reporting today to the senate
investigation committee.
During the four and a half hours he
was under examination he identified
almost 200 letters from Marshall Cush-
ing, secretary Of the National Associs
ton of Manufacturers and few from
labor leaders, all bearing on the meth
DDS employed to corrupt labor leaders
and the secretary of senator, the
steps taken to break labor strikes and
the measures adopted to help or defeat
candidates for public Office dependent
upon their labor views. ..
The story was lightened only by the
futile attempts made by the house
lobby investigating committee to get
possession of the witness and papers
in the possession of the senate COM
mittee.
There was an element of the comic
in the controversy between the two
committees, but beneath the usrface
lay serious question, involving al
legged discourtesy on the part of tho
representatives Of one house toward
the other, and resulting in the absolute
tying of the hands Of body appoint
ed by the lower chamber to institute
an investigation into the integrity of
it's own members and its own en-
ployees. -a
The senate investigators by dint Of
foresight, exhibited last night in hold
ing fast to Colonel Mulhall, circum-
vented the house lobby committee.
The senate committee kept a firm grip
on Mulhall through teh entire morn
ing. The house committee met at a.
m. but finding itself without witnesses
adjourned and wrote few more let
tiers to the senate investigators, asking
them if they would be kind enough to
give the house look In at the Null
hall documents. ,

Speaks On the New Rural School, Before the

Salt Lake City on "Wednesday.

Let us now refresh our memories
with a picture OF the old rural school.
The building is Of the box.car type,
small and ugly, sometimes painted red
or white, and sometimes painless. 1t

small that the pupils must r7ay in

ways. It has no inside closets, so
health and morals must often suffer.
1t is poorly lighted, for there is the
double croos lighting; it is poorly ven
tilated, for only one door and win.
dows provide for such; it is poorly
heated for there is the unjacketed
box stove whereby some must roast
alive while others freeze. It is miser.
ably equipped, for its maps and globes
are few and out-of-date, the dictionary
was possibly standard before the
war, and the library is a libel on the
word. The floors and walls are dirty,
the seats and desks are also dirty,

ty pupils in some six or seven grades
and in some thirty different classes.
The supervision is pitifully made.
Quate; for the visits are too few and
too short and sometimes more poltti-
cal than professional. And the picture
is not yet complete. The worst Is yet
to come. The term in this school is
less than seven months, the per cent
Of attendance is less than sixty, and
the per cent completing the eighth
grade is less than twenty-five, the
boys falling below fifteen per cent.
Its two chief defects are, ~ the many
grades and therefore too many classes
for one teacher to handle properly,
and (2) the poor attendance which re-
suits directly in the too small number
who complete the eighth grade.
There, then, is picture OF the one
room rural school. Some will say that
there are some schools much better,
which is true; but it is also true that
there are some much worse. In all
the essentials the average city school
in the grades is vastly superior to
this school. The teacher is a normal
school graduate, teaching only one or
two grades in some twelve or thirteen
classes daily; the term is nine
months; the per cent of attendance
is over eighty-dve: the per cent COM

In order to develop the new

informed as to what the one.

try really is, and then we must re-or-
ganize this old rural school. There
never can be any progress worthy OF
the, name in any line except where
all the conditions. both adverse and
favorable, are known ana appraised
at their full value. 1t is never pleas.
ant task to recognize this fact and
particularly is this SO in the case Of
the rural school where the adverse
conditions SO dominate the situation.
This, however, shall try to do at
this time. The praises Of the little
country school have been sung for
more than a hundred years in every
section of the land. We have been
taught to look upon it as school with
out fault and without blemish. And
it has been a great institution! It is
yet the greatest socializing and Amer.

testant and Catholic, rich and poor,
native and foreign-born meet together
on common ground. Here they laugh
and sing, love and hate, play and
study, and in the end, If ever, learn
to speak common language and to
love common flag. II Is the agency
that must supply the rural population
with the essential tools of Democracy,
that is, knowledge Of the three RS,

to the majority of these children the
only scholastic training they ever will

faults which l shall proceed to name

This old rural school has been aptly
described by our honored president,
DR.. Fairchild, as the one laggard In
the educational procession" Some
forty years ago it competed success
fully with the town school, and it con-
tributed it's pro rata share toward Am

stock-in fact. the college is a store
house of useful information on which
the farmer has a right to draw for
mis- private benefit.
The Georgia state College Of Agri-
culture is engaged constantly in dis
seminating vast amount of useful
information, each year witnessing in
creased demands, showing that the in.
formation has not gone amiss and
that farmers are more and more real
izing that a college has facilities for
knowing and getting at information
that can not be found elsewhere.
The Georgia State College has been
always ready and willing to cooper
ate, to give aid, to send men, to con-
duct demonstrations, in fact, to do
everything in its power to promote
agriculture in Georgia. 1t has always
shown perfect willingness and read
mess to cooperate with every other
department of the state to this end.
It enjoys the good will Of all organ
izations looking to the betterment OF
the farmers conditions and In SO far
as its function as college of agri-
culture extends, it is ever ready to
respond to a call to service.
Only one thing can prevent the. col
lege from rendering service in answer
to every demand, and that will be its
inability from lack of men and means.

the claim rust proof can be very
we'll applied
While the wet weather of the spring
favored the development Of the rust
this year and has caused considerable
loss, an opportunity is afforded the
farmer to select for seed the plants
that are highly resistant to rust. If
they have withstood the rust this
year, it is logical that they are the
best to use for resisting rust in plant
ing for ordinary years.
Before harvesting, the discreet
farmer will take pains to select the
rust-free plants in the field, harvest
them and keep them to themselves to
be threshed for seed. This done, he
has as absolute guarantee of rust re-
sistance as can be obtained.

SELECT SEED OATS
John =. FaIn, Professor of Apr0nomy

The climatic conditions this year
have greatly favored the development
of rust on oats. Rust always appears
to some extent and some evidences of
it are to be seen in almost any field
supposed to be rust proof No oats
are immune TO rust, but certain kinds
are highly resistant to it. If the seed
is carefully selected from the plants
showing resistance to rust, one can
develop a strain that is as perfectly
rust proof as can be had. So little
will be the damage from rust as that
