WOMAN HAS A NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH
MRS. KATE NELSON FALLS INTO
A cEssPooL; RESCUED WITH
DIFFICULTY

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock,
Mrs. Kate Nelson, who resides at 719
Fourth street, accidentally fell into a
cesspool and barely escaped a hor-
hfble death. Mrs. Nelson was rescued
by John Ensign and w. C. Page, who
were called to the scene Of the acci-
dent by Mrs. Nelson's daughters.
Mrs. Nelson was walking over the
Icesspool, which is located in the rear
Of the residence. when the wooden
cover gave aWay and Mrs. Nelson
fell into the bottom Of the pool, which
contained about is feet Of water and
slime.
Mrs Nelson's cries attracted the
attention Of her daughters, who imme.
diately began working to assist their
mother from the pool. Mr.. Ensign,
who resides near the Nelson residence,
was attracted by Mrs. Nelson's cries
and Mr. Page, while passing the resi-
dence, was called.
Considerable trouble resulted at
first in securing a ladder long enough
to reach the bottom Of the pool. The
fire department was notified and
started for ssie Nelson home, wltlI the
fire ladders Just before the flremen
arrived. a long ladder was found and
Mrs. Nelson was rescued

How They Keep Boys on the Farms
In Kansas ''sl'
Ia the current issue Of farm and
Fireside John Leslie simpson writes
an article about the cooperation be-
tween parents and particularly
in Kansas where the importance Of
keeping boys on the farms is well rec
ognized. Following is an extract from
the article:
''The Kansas farmer sees to it that
the boy has a certain amount of re-
creation and pleasure scattered
through his days Of toll
"The son Of the Kansas farmer is
trained along financial lines from
childhood up, so when he is ready
to start the serious road of manhood
and responsibility he doesn't have to

"a Kansas farmer who had become

trained his boy along these INES,
When the boy was 10 years old he
gave him a pair of colts, the boy to
take care of them, and help with the
other work to pay for their feed WheR
the boy was 1G the colts had grown
into fine team of work horses. The
boy now had some pigs, calves, etc,
besides the team, and took a real in
terest in the farm and the work. By
the time he was 10 years old he had
nearly enough equipment to farm for
himself. He bought another horse
with money he had made working
for neighbors, got some tools and
sets of harness, and rented 25 acres
of land from a neighbor. He helped
with the work at home, and farmed
a little for himself Later he rented
a quarter section Of land At n he has

RURAL PROGRESS MEANS

IN the cdrfent issue Of Farm and
Fireside Helen Johnson Keyes. fire
side editor, writes as follows, about
the importance Of rural progress to
the Ciae of AmbnicAs
"Dr. Henry ]. Waters in his address
to the Dry Farming congress stated
that rural progress means more to the.
city man than to the farmer. To be
sure, unless he is thinker he hardly
realizes it, for the streets along which
he goes and comes display stalls Of
vegetables, carcasses Of animals, and
innumerable eating places. Odors Of
cooking rise from nnmberleaa Kitchens
below the payements under his feet
Famine seems indeed far removed
from him. Yet there is hoarded there
only a few days supply Of bread. In
indianapolis famine came SO near that
the court house was turned into a
market. The world has overdrawn its
bank account forty million dollars
which is half the wealth Of the United
States and the farmer must pay II
the deficit.

BOYS GET HAIRCUT FOR
EGGING PICNIC PARTY
THE NORMAL STUDENTS PUNISH
YOUTHS GUILTY OF DIS
PLEASING. CONDUCT

For malieiously hurling eggs at a
hayride party Saturday night, the
said eggs spreading over the clothing
Of the riders and giving them a yel-
low and white color, Edwin Rosenthal
and Frank Condor, two students Of
the Normal University, this morning
received punishment in form of an
egg shampoo and partial haircut
These two youths comprise only a
part Of a large crowd Of young men
of the Normal and High school who
committed the deed of Saturday
night, but the remainder of the Nor
NAL boys who were implicated will
receive their punishment later, ac-
cording to those in charge of admin
istering it.
Rosenthal and Condor were cap
tured early this morning by several
husky Normalites and taken to the
engine room Of the university, where
pair of hair clippers and an egg
shampoo awaited them. The clipper
was run from the central part Of the
boys forehead to the back part Of
the neck in a straight line, thus mark
ing the young men conspicuously.
The egg shampoo was then adminis-
tered, to remind the young men Of
the pleasure experienced by those on
the hayride.
The committee in charge of the
punishment says that three young men
are yet to receive punishment for
throwing eggs at the hayride party
The party was given by several
Normal boys. A big hayrack was Sc
cured and the jolly party started for
Romeroville, only to have the liquid
gloom composed Of ripe and otherwise
eggs cast over it near the brick yard
at the south end Of the city.

against us. so that with the Under

law will be necessary next year. war
or no war, and as long thereafter as
this iniquitous legislation remains un-
cahnged.
THE falling off of exports and the
increase of imports, which have re-
suited in the present industrial depres-
sion In America, began long before
there was any thought of war" said
the congressman. "and the government
reports show that the falling off in the
balance of trade in our favor started
with the very day the Underwood tariff
went into effect, and it continued until
the month of April, 1914, the balance
against us amounted to $11,339,544,
and has since steadily grown Com
pare this with a balance of trade in
our favor of $652,675,915 during the
last year of the Payne tariff and you
have some understanding of why l saw
the Underwood law is responsible for
the. present distressing condition of
business In this country. These figures
prove, | contend. that there is no
truth in President Wilson's Oft
repeated assertion that in order to
have other nations buy from us we
must give them open markets in
America. Rather it lis the other way
about.
why. in November. 1912, the very
month the Democrats were elevated to
power, but with the Republican laws
still in operation, we imported mer-
chandise amounting to $153,O94.89s
and during the same month sold
abroad merchandise aggregating S279,-
244, 191, leaving a balance in our favor
for that month alone of S126149,293.
~ seems to me that these figures would
convince any fair and open minded
person that it is not necessary to buv
abroad in order to sell abroad.
"The Underwood tariff law has not
opened the markets of a single coun-
try that were not opened to us before
the passage of the bill, but it has sur
rendered our markets to foreign coun-
tries; so that, aside from the loss of
revenue to the government, it has been
far more harmful in that il has
caused and is directly responsible. as
I have said, for the terrible depression
of manufacturing interests and the
desperate condition of the wage
earners.
The Years Balance
1T is indeed discouraging to look
forward to the time when our years
bill pnust be squared, when we have
no trade balance in our favor. There
have been, no doubt on account of the
foreign war, turned back on us pos
sibly 5000. 100000 in stocks and bonds:
we must pay out possibly 100000. 900
more. The American tourists in for
eign countries have spent at least
500, 100000. All of these obligations
we must meet in gold or its equivalent.
and only to-day the Secretary of the
Treasury is in conference with promi-
nent bankers trying to find a way out
of depicting our nation of it's gold
supply by finding some other means of
settling these accounts. If the Presi-
dent is fearful that the withdrawal OF

and affect the banks, what does he
think will happen when from $780,
900, 900 to $7OO,0OO,OO0 in gold must
leave this country in payment of our
foreign debts?
1T is certainly high time that Con-
gress, instead of levying additional
taxes to provide funds to take care OF
unprecedented and extpavagant appro-
priations which have broken all pre-
vious records. turn its attention to the
problem of rectifying this balance OF
