great rewards to be gained in the
learned professions, politics or the
commercial pursuits. We have
enough merchants, lawyers, doctors
and politicians, such as they are, and
judging from the present drift the
supply is not likely to run short, but
we do need more men Of sense and
sinew who are willing to help solve
the problems that are giving our
people so great concern today. Or
atory won't do it. writing won't do

to take hard work. backed up by
common sense to get us out of the

AS has been preached by Farm and
Ranch for years the country school
should be the nucleus of the social
life OF the community. 1t should be
the place where the grown people as
we'll as the children could go for in
structions. and 1t should also be the
place where all could get recreation
and amusement. But before much
can be done there must be the indi-
vidual desire to better conditions, to
get out of the rut we are in at pres

started, It is up to individuals, scat
tered here and there, in country, in
city and town. to begin the good
work in their own particular COM

ress: We do not need to go back
to the little red school house of our
fathers, but we do need to go for
ward to a better school house than
any of which our fathers have ever
dreamed.

EPILEPSY CURED.

Cincinnati, July 25.-What is de- clared to be a remarkable cure of q case of epilepsy is reported by pr. C.. A. l.. Reed, a surgeon of this city. The treatment was given at the Ger man Deaconess hospital in this city. The woman patient in this case, 1t is announced, was relieved of fre- quent and distressing fits of epilepsy not by an operation on the brain, spinal cord or other portion of the nervous system but by an operation on the large intestine. pr. Reed dis closed that the large intestine had sagged out of it's normal position. This caused two sharp angles in the diges- tive tract, and prevented the normal action. The operation was successful and the woman is now permanently cured

Modern Pitching.

(Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. ,
 The New York Sun recently joined with a correspondent in bemoaninr the fact that baseball isn't SO inter- esting a game as 1t used to be. The terrific speed of Walter Johnson and Joe Wood, say the sorrowful critics, has made batters more or less afraid of the ball. Now, instead of old fashioned slugging matches, we have lukewarm pitchers battles and feeble hitters; so, in effect, says the Sun.
 It is quite obvious that the Suns editorial critic does not follow very closely the baseball fortunes of either the Yankees or the Brooklyn Ma tionals. Neither of those teams suf- fers severely from first-class pitching. Even the accomplished staff of the Giants has lately been treated with a painful lack of respect by opposing batsmen. Indeed, if you suggested to any baseball manager in the country that his team was suffering in pcpu- larity because his staff of pitchers was too proficient, it Is probable that he would drop into the unpublished idiom of the game and exclsim: No use in ringing, mister: nobody home!"
 Anyone who follows even in cur sorry manner the baseball scores has observed that nine-tenths of all games are won or lost in pretty much the same way. Two teams struggle along for few innings without either side scoring many runs. Then one of the pitchers "breaks' His "control' and quickness of wit temporarily fail him. and the enemy bats home four or five runs. Generally those runs are enough 10 beat him. Occasionally men are found. like Mathewson, Wal ter Johnson, Alexander and Plank, who seldom falter; in baseball ver- nacular, they can generally be de- pended on to ''go the distance" Such men are rare birds and their services are so highly thought of that no rea- sonable money consideration can in- duce their employers to part with them.
 Would it make baseball any more interesting to restore the old rules which permitted the batter to call for the kind of pitch he wanted? Is it desirable to have games last three or four hours, with a final score of forty nine to thirty-seven or whereabouts? We think not. The average nsan likes the short, snappy game which pro- vides fair amount of excitement and ena bles him to get home in time for d warm and peaceful dinner. 1t is possible that some day there will be So many expert ''slab-artists' that baseball games will be merely exhibi- tons of endurance on the part of the pitchers. But baseball scores through out the country in general, and in and about New York in particular, give no indication that any such painful state of affairs now exists.

Y. w. C. A. NOTES.

Things are rather quiet, as usual during the summer months. Some of the Camp Fire Clubs are still meeting regularly each week.
 The Girl Scouts will meet again on Monday afternoon at goo o'clock for bead weaving and stories. The Wah- wahtaysee club met on Friday after noon, and for an hour and a half were busily making pretty scrap books which will be given later to poor or sick children. This club will meet on Friday afternoon next unless notified to the contrary, with their own Guardian. who has been away for a few weeks vacation. At their meeting last night, the Kolah Club were engaged in making blouses for poor boys. They will meet probably once more next Friday evening with their own Guardian before her de- parture for home for the remainder of the summer.
 Nearly every Saturday finds a num- Der of girls departing for either of the Y. w. summer camps, Altamont or Makonikey, to spend a happy, health full week or two.
 The young women of the Y. w. C.. A. Boarding home had q delightful outing last Wednesday evening, near supper cooked over camp fire, they had merry. time playing games un- til dark. It was enjoyed so much by all that it will probably be repeated soon again.

Indiana Threshing Dinner.
Evansville Courier. )

What is said in defense or against the present scale of wages paid to harvest hands in this section of the state casts no shadow of doubt over the efforts of the farmers wife to appease the appetites of all who come superb ability as cook. It would be a physical impossibility to itemize all the good things she places on the table at meal time. Were You ever so fortunate as to occupS seat at ;l dinner such as are now fashionable on farms in the pocket? If not, you had better enlist in the great army of harvest hands and behold with your own eyes the wonder and beauty of a threshing dinner We've been there, and the memory of it all will finger with us always.
 As general rule farm wives are splendid cooks, and in harvest days they give preponderance of evidence of their skill as culinary artists A plenteousness of all that is appetiz- ing is at their disposal, and they pre- pare and serve it in plenteous quan- titles. Harvest hands may growl about the prevailing scale of wages, but we have yet to hear of d dissent ing voice against a farm menu, espe- cially al this season of the year. Our observation has been that the Eng fish language does not contain enough words of sufficient meaning to pay anything like the compliment that threshing dinner and it's maker so richly deserve.

against particular classes of men should be absolutely laid aside and discarded as unworthy of the counsels of a great people.
 "The effort for genuine social jus tice, for peace, the peace which is founded in common understandings, and for prosperity, the prosperity of cooperation and mutual confidence, should be a unit without partisan prejudice or class antagonism.
 Ut is only of such just and noble elements that the welfare of great country can be composed. We have breathed already too long the air of suspicion and distrust. The progress of reform is not retarded by generos- ity and fairness"
 These words are opportune Ger tainly the country needs "a new tenn per in affairs; and we have too long breathed the lair of suspicion and distrust.'

By their de8eat in the doubles yesterday the Canadians were put out of the com petition this year for the international cup, and the two matches between Brookes and Powell and Wilding and Sehwengers were an anti-climax.

SEVERE RECESS|ONS

Semi mi-paniCky Conditions on Foreign Exchanges Effects LGCd Dealings.

Wall street, 10:45 a. m.-Europe was again the primary factor in to- semi-panicky conditions on all for eign exchanges finding direct re- flection in numerous severe recessions here. Canadian Pacific was most ser iously affected, losing ? ss at the out set on sale of 1,500 shares, while Northern Pacific fell almost as much. Steel was also extensively dealt in, large blocks changing hands at a one point decline. Practically all the international list registered losses Of 1 to ? points, with a number of new low records. Business in the early dealings was heavier than at any pre- vious session of the week, being aug mented by foreign offerings. A rally before the end of the first half hour materially reduced initial declines.
 A brisk rally followed indications of a relaxation in the foreign situa- tion and many losses were more than retrieved.
 Closing-The foreign situation was again a highly unsettled factor in the local stock market, which opened with losses of one to two and half points in response to London's de- pressed level Substantial support soon brought about a complete re- versal with some material gains. An other gold shipment to Paris was att tended by a further advance in ex- change. The closing was irregular.
