patches for valorous action at the TAX
ing of the Tang-Ku and Taku forts

vision of the transport train.
Following a long tour of home duties

PREDICTS SECURITY
LEAGUE WILL WIN
Chairman Expects to Force
Wilson to Name Nom
Partisan Commission.

The National Security League has
designated special committees, com
posed of the leading experts on those
subjects throughout the country, to
investigate the condition of the army,
navy and militia. By the time their
reports are presented, the finance.
membership and branch organization
committees of the league will be in a
position to bring them forcibly to the
attention of every community in the
country.
This. at least, is the belief of Stan
wood S. Menken, chairman of the
league, who declared yesterday that no
mere partisan investigation, with party
Recommendation and transient meas
ures, could meet the necessities of ma
tional defence.
ave believe that when we have to
compete with scientific governments we
cannot rely upon the haphazard control
of the partisan opportunist, and that,
if our position is 20 be maintained, we
have at least to recognize some merit
in the system of our competitors"
Mr.. Menken then said that the dis
closures of the league would result in
the appointment of q commission, by
the President and Congress, which
would cover the entire matter, finishing
the probe which the league had begun
and urging the necessary legislation.
How this commission would be kept
out of party politics he did not say.

BOYS CLUBS TEACH
FATHERS TO FARM
Remarkable Corn Grow
ing by Lads Reported by
Education Board.

The growth Of the boys corn club
movement is described in the report OF
the General Education Board, made
public yesterday, showing how young
sters in all parts of the country are
nrovinp the value of scientific farming
methods.
Sporadic clubs, the report says, had
been organized before 1908, when DR..
Knapp began to develop the idea. Inc
work was taken up in practically every
section of the United States, and every
boy was urged to plant an acre OF corn
on his fathers farm. It was planned to
organize clubs in every neighborhood,
then form county and state groups, and
finally a federation of clubs.
Local, county and state prizes were
awarded annually, and the most sue
cessful boys were sent to Washington
to meet the Secretary of Agriculture
and the President. The boys, however,
had to sell their crops, and the prices
they received for their products count
ed as points in the prize award deci-
sion.
"As a rule" the report says, each
member works plot of one acre. Inc
county superintendent of education IS
usually in charge. Appointed special
agent of the Department of Agriculture,
with a nominal salary of 81 a year, he
obtains the franking privilege, which
enables him TO procure reports from
the boys and TO disseminate informa-
ton and instruction among them =.
"The growth of the club work is IT.
self the best proof of the enthusiasm
excited and the substantial material
results achieved. Nor has its influence
been limited to the boys, for. the crops
raised have set new standards ana
opened new vistas for the adult farmer.
"In 1910, for example, the boys clubs
Of Holmes County, Miss, averaged 10
bushels of corn an acre, while the
bows fathers were averaging 10. Id
the same season 100 boys in various
parts of the South averaged 1881 BUSH
els, and one boy produced more tnah
200. The following season 100 Doys
averaged 1918 bushels; seven boys
raised more than 200. In 1911 All made
more than 100 bushels to the acre; IN
1912, 493.
an the awarding of prizes for these
notable performances various FACTORS
are taken into consideration: Ihlrty
per cent Is allowed for yield, ~ per
cent for the showing of prott, ~ per
cent for the best ten ears and ~ per
cent for the best written report

In addition, a score of the very poor

said, in at least one case as high as
$4,000.
The bonuses have gone TO about fifty
men. and the total distributed is said
TO amount to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The bonuses are based on the
efficiency of the recipient and the
amount of business done by him dur

amount Of the bonuses has been equal

In addition to sales managers ana
