KNEW REVOLUTION HEROINE
Pennsylvania Woman stiii Livino Who Was Acquainted With the
 Famous Molly Pitcher.

In excellent health in spite of her advanced years, Mrs. Samuel Sipe, Cumberland county's oldest resident, personal friend of Molly Pitcher, the heroine of Monmouth, has just cele- brated her one hundred and second birthday, according to a Carbondale (Pao dispatch to the New York Tribune.
 Her health is good, and although she Is unable to walk she can hear clearly and her mind is a marvel for clever. ness and recollection. Mrs. Sipe was born in Switzerland, October 5, 1872, and came with her parents when only six years of age to this country. The trip was made in a sailing vessel and the voyage consumed 16 weeks. She lived in Philadelphia for time and came to Carlisle 95 years ago. She remembers the old stage coaches that made this a stopping point on the road to Pittsburgh, and also the run ming of the first train on the Cumber- land Valley. July 4. 1857.
 Her stories of Molly Pitcher, with whom she was personally familiar, contain many unique incidents in the life of this peculiar heroine.

FARM SCHOOL PUPILS
 ARE S1AYI ii ON FARM
CRITICISM OF AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES MET BY H. s.
 MORLEY.

Little Rock, Dec. l4.-Proof posi-
 tive enough to silence the most per
 sistent knocker of the project whicl gave Arkansas four agricultural col leges, is shown in detailed statement which has been prepared by H. s. Mobley, state president of the Farm CTS Union. President Mobley an- swers the people who claimed these schools would educate the boys and girls away from the farms, by taking page after page from the enrolment books of these institutions and show ing that over 90 per cent of the for li1er students are now engaged either in teaching in rural schools, or in ac- tive farm work. Those engaged in neither are in other colleges prepar- ing for life on the farm.
 One page from the Monticello school record shows 36 students, and all but one are either teaching or farming, and this one is trained nurse at Monticello. The list is given in alphabetical order, showing that the names have not been selected at random. The records of the Jones' boro, Magnolia and Russellville schools show the same, and quite a number are successfully managing large plantations, while several are teaching at the University of Illinois.

WON RICHES FROM THE LAND
Story of an Immigrant Family That Went Farming Forty-six
 Years Ago.

John Austin and his wife, Emma, 46 years ago came to this country from England with their four sons and settled on 160-acre farm in the Rocky mountains Austin had been a mill worker and he and his wife scarcely had money enough to come to this country and take up the 16O acres which the government at that time was willing to give any settler , Of the subsequent success of this fam fly Doctor Winship writes in Farm and Preside as follows
 Once established and the market gardening scheme on its feet, John di- viled the 160 acres in halves. kept 80 acres and gave each of the boys 20 acres. They all worked the whole of 1t, but kept the expenses and in- come from each lot distinct.
 "l know Mark Austin we'll: he Is one of the eminently prosperous men in Idaho. He furnishes sugar beets for eight of the large factories along line of 400 miles of railway, raising many of the beets and contracting for the rest. He is a prince among the business men of Idaho.
 The other three boys, Thomas, Will liam and John, are cattle kings in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah; each is at the head of live stock company, two in the sheep business-one had 5O,O00 head when I saw him in 1913. One is president of the Wool Growers association of the intermountain re- zion.
 The business interests of those four mighty men are interlinked though financially distinct They run their vast business schemes as they did their 20 acres each, when they ran the so acres as though it were one market garden, but they knew the profit of each 20 acres, and divided it. They still keep those eighty acres to- gether and apart. Each of those four men has family. and each has done by his sons what the father did for him."

probably will be instituted immediate ly after the new board meets. Although the boards statement in response to the demand of the gover- nor and the widespread request of the public was virtually completed yester- day, members of the special commit tee, who happen also to be the only members of the old board in Little Rock, were not ready yesterday to make the statement public. They spent the greater part of yesterday working on the report, and with the exception of the transcribing of sta tistical figures, said their statement was completed. aa;
 Governor Hays is known to have about completed his selection of new board. It is probable, however, thas he will hold conference with the men he has selected before he an '. nounces their appointment. It is pos sible some of the new members may arrive in Little Rock today. a.. ..
 The board will release it's statement some time today, MT. Parsons said yesterday

 Unless s. M. Shane of Paragould, one of the state charities board mem- bers who was dismissed by Governor Hays, returns to Little Rock, it seems improbable the old board will be able to obtain a quorum. MT. Shane left for his home yesterday afternoon aft er he is said to have signed the boards statement answering the charges made by Dr. J. l.. Greene, former superintendent of the state hospital for nervous diseases. Only three members remain in Little Rock
 Gen. Thomas Green of Pine Pine Bluff, the lone member who is now recognized by the governor, will re- turn to Little Rock today. It is not lat all probable that he will meet with his former associates on the board E. c. Parsons, R. c. Love and 'Dr. w. c. Dunaway-so his presence will lend no assistance to an effort, should the old board desire to meet, to get a quorum.
 Governor Hays expects to convene a new board tomorrow or Wednesday The court proceedings to determine the governors authority in dismissing the four members of the old board

Revision for the Better.

Who. with Liege in fresh memory, and Quatre Bras in recent history, does not wish that certain page of Vanity Fair" had not been written It must be owned that Thackeray had a contempt for little states; a small German principality was to him ab- surd because it was small; and the Belgians. moreover. were small, also. in stature. And thus he, giving a kind of kitchen view of the battle before Waterloo, makes the Belgian soldiers fly home to Brussels from the guns of Quatre Bras. to be comforted by the cooks The heroes of this year have to forgive an English author for pre- senting them as the towards of hun dred years ago.
