It would be difficult to realize what
the Frieslander would do without his
klompen or wooden shoes, for they
have hundred uses. With them he
balls out his boat, corrects his chill
dren and scoops up drink Of water
wherever he may be- He places in
them his worms for fishing, uses them
as missiles in free fight, measures
dry goods with them and hundred
other things. The klompen are cheap.

State Treasury Enriched by Sum Of
&77,77e.e5 as Result OF First Years
Operation Under Consolidation.
Farmers Institutes Increased From
Four to Five.
Accomplishments OF the state agrl-
cultural commission, controlling seven
former separate divisions, Is pointed
to with pride by Governor Cox and
members of the commission. They
contend that the consolidation OF de-
partments, by which $77.779S5 was
saved the first year In direct appro-
priations, has justified fully the
formation of the commission. Every
department Of agricultural activities
now has the benefit of the knowledge,
the experience and the organization
Of all other departments.
Besides this enormous saving In
money, the increased effectiveness Of
tho departments adds greatly to the
scheme OF coordination. Five farm
ers' Institutes now are to be held in
stead Of only four, thus reaching more
than 10000 more citizens. Benefits OF
this instruction will be carried to
communities that 1t has been impossi.
BILE to reach before.
Conflicts Arc Avoided.
Elimination of duplication OF work
has proven to be one of the greatest
achievements of the consolidated sys-
tenn. The experiment station, college
OF agriculture. state board Of agricul-
ture and the dairy and food depart
ment all we're making separate exhib-
Its at county fairs. This work now
has been combined under one central
control, so that exhibits can be made
representing the work OF all these de-
partments at exactly the cost Of each
individual exhibit heretofore. Thus
conflict Is avoided and better exhibits
will be the result.
The first three departments were
giving the same orchard demonstra-
tions in pruning and spraying. Unfit.
| cation and cooperation now has been
accomplished, which means that more
orchards will be inspected and more
| people will receive the benefit of dem
onstration work at little or no in
crease in cost to the state. All these
departments were sending out speak
ers to farmers meetings, picnics
oranges and conventions, and it fire.
quently happened that several were al
the same place at the same time. This
duplication also has been eliminated
The same was true of inspectors
Each department was sending out Its
own inspectors, oftentimes to tht
same place to do the same work.

GERMANY RIDDEN
WITH GAMBLERS
IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP BETTING ON
HORSE RACES IN OLD
COUNTRY.
(By Associated Press.)

Berlin, April 1.-THE German au-
thorities have again capitulated to
what they term ''the ineradicable gam
ing instinct of the average person"
After continued and vain attempts to
put an end to promiscuous betting on
horse races, which involves a sum
yearly estimated at between $150000,-
900 and S20O,00O00 they have decided
to license book-making in an effort to
secure for the state a percentage of
this sum. A measure to this end, al
been adopted by the Federal Council
and Is now awaiting the action of the
Reichstag. 1t is hoped to have it be-
come effective in time for the Braden-
Baden races next August.
Heretofore the only form Of betting
sanctioned by law has been by means
of the pari-mutuel machine. This,
however, was available only to persons
able to visit the race tracks. The
result is that vast army Of book
makers, estimated at 5000, ply their
business in defiance of the law. In
addition every 'barbershop and thou
sands of cafes and similar resorts har-
Dor their handbook men.
Competent authorities estimate the
number of business places where
wagers can be laid ON horse races at
over 100000. Prosecutions for book
making increased from | 600 in 1906
to 5000 in 1912 For the most part
they resulted in trivial fines or short
Jail sentences, and the business went
ahead just the same. The bettor too,
Il outside the law, and has no remedy
against dishonest handbook men or
5ookmakers who refuse to settle win
ming wagers.

Washington, April 1.-THE recent

Philadelphia about a fortnight before,

the United States government not only
discourages such aids to amateur re-
search but absolutely prohibits them.
By law passed in 1905 the importa.
ton of living insects into this country
is forbidden and there are other laws
which regulate so strictly the importa-
ton of larger animals that in many
cases no discretion is left to the au-

The proposition met the attention of
many leading bankers in South Mis-
sissippi who were here during the

II also met with their unqualified en-
dorsement
1t was suggested that considerable

burg when the proper organization is
perfected, and it is believed that citi.
zens in towns outside of Forrest coun.
ty would be willing to take stock, real
izing that the vast benefits that would
come to Forrest county would radiate
through the entire southern portion of
