ALL HONOR TO THE LADIES.

Too much cannot be said in praise
and commendation of the good work
done by the ladies of the Woman's
Club, in assuring the success Of the
Booster Festival just closed. They
took the lead and the initiative, and
the men followed their lead and obey
ed their commands, like the clever
set that they are, and had little to do
with it except put up the money, or
guarantee it put up, which they did
gladly. All honor to the progressive,
intelligent women of this town.

address ON the Farmers ana Country

highly instructive and entertaining.
Prof. Dillon brought out and emphu-
sized the fact, that if conditions in the
country-the farm and the home
are ever improved it must be through
the dissemination of knowledge. TO
know better is 10 do bettcr,-to know
how is the great desideratum. The
theory must, of course, come first,
then the practical experience. The
fact was emphasized that, in reality,

tions are ever changed. The address

Prof. Greevcr, in II few pointed re-

idea of education that practical ex-
perlence was the best teacher-thut

students of agricultural and domestic

Greever's remarks were interpreted

theories as to now to remedy existing

After Prof. Greevers remarks Mr..
Westmoreland Davis spoke ut length

exhaustive study of the subject. 1t
was through his efforts largely that
the Lime Grinding bill was passed by

the growing of alfalfa and other le-
gumlnous plants, and lime is, i'm these
cases, peculiarly necessary. He dis
cussed the comparative value of
ground limestone and burnt lime, etc.

Idle Crowds Watch

tBy Associated Press

London, Sept. 3o-No con-
trast between English and for
eign ways has SO impressed
American tourists as the recep-
ton OF the recruits here during
war time. An idle crowd stands
during the day around the re-
cruiting stations watching the
applicants. At evening when
the newly enlisted men march
out in a column of tours with
some attempt at military
swing, singing or whistling,

but there is seldom more than
faint cheering if any at all.
There is none of the running up

common to more emotional peo-
plies.
Once in the forces, the re-
cruits, who are mostly youths,
may be seen marching to the
parks for drill, but even then
are watched only by voiceless
idlers. The last seen OF them in
London is on the platform OF
one of the great railway stations,
to be sent no one knows where.
Generally they depart in the
night.

a highly developed industry and
the sport itself almost a nation
al pastime. Says one writer in
the London Field:
Great misconception seem to
be abroad as to the danger OF
socalled carrier pigeons. 10
any sensible man the danger is
removed by the police restric-
tions and the fact that birds will,
practically speaking, only use
fully fly in one direction ii. e.,
that in which they have been
trained for racing). The danger
OF birds being released, say, in
Lancashire, in order to convey
aliens or enemy information to
the Continent is almost none.
Such birds to be of the slightest
value would have to be continent
tai birds already trained to fly
the distance in the right direc-
ton, and it is absurd to suppose
that aliens wishing to COMMUNE
cate with one another in Eng
land should use the cumbrous
and risky method OF the pigeon,
while, so far as is known, the
British Post Office is still open
to carry the message for penny
or by telegram.

THE SILENT MAN AT

A silent Frenchman is not a
we'll known institution here in
America, but there is such
thing, nevertheless, and in Cen
eral Joffre, commander-in-chief
the French armies the military
world has a mighty figure quite
as silent as was Grant or Moltke.
Gen. Joffre is notably taciturn,
and the New York Evening Post
sketches him as an officer who
has been silent through a labor
ious military career of forty
four years. He is now sixty
one, but still in the full vigor of
his strength of body and mind
and by far the most noteworthy
figure which this surprising war
has so far disclosed. Clemen-

FAIRGROUNDS IN STREETS.
Washington Has Been Following q
Plan Successful In European Cities.

Washington Has Been Following a
Plan Successful In European Cities.
There is a movement on foot In
Washington among. those interested in
the welfare of the school children
which bids fair to solve in many In
stances the problem of lack of play
ground during their recesses for the
pupils Of the public schools, a problem
which, owing to the neglect of the
school authorities of former years to
provide sufficient space for the increas-
ed number of scholars. has in many
cases become a most serious one.
The solution of the trouble. Is pro-
vided by the movement, is to appropri-
ate a certain portion of the street dur
ing the recess time. At the outset the
method Of closing a public street
against vehicles for ten or fifteen min
utes during the busy portion of the
day seemed impracticable. but on limit
ing the application only to those
schools that are not in crowded bust
ness sections and applying it specially
to those in the residence quarter
where, indeed, most of the scholars
are-it has been found that, as far Us
removing any objections that a be
raised to the plan are concerned. the
project is feasible.
The proposed plan is to set aside a
block Of the street roadway during the
recess time by means of ropes that can
be readily adjusted to poles set in the
curb in q few seconds. The barrier
could thus be erected or removed by
some of the older pupils almost in
stantly. 1t would not extend across
the sidewalk.
The matter Of making to jewellers
within the Enclosed area some compen-
sation was found readily adjustable by
a plan of granting them certain privi-
leges over other blocks. Thus a great
er number of street lights, a more
thorough police supervision, the keep
ing Of the sidewalk and roadway in a
special state of cleanliness and the i'm
mediate removal by the city of all
snow were found privileges for which
the residents would gladly put up with
the Inconvenience of a crowd of chill
dren playing in the street, a condition
which. as several Of the residents af-
fected declared, existed anyhow.
The Washington plan has been tried
in many Of the leading European cities.
