had strurk an air pocket said
Hugh J. Henderson. who was one of
the Canon City reopie who witness

State Fair grounds in Pueblo yester-
day. 1T WAS probably an air pocket
which started the trouble but the air
craft sailed to the ground at 100
great an angle fer me to believe that
his fall was wholly due TO the air
pocket
In my opinion there must have
been something the matter with the

Instruction in agriculture has been increasingly
progressive.
For instance, an analysis of the soil of the
island showed lack of potash, while another
ANALYSIS showed that the seaweed which is cast
upon the beach in large quantities contained that
very element In substantial degree. From that
time 1t became part of the regular work of
the farm to gather the seaweed and the driftwood
and to dry and burn it, and to put the ashes
tanning the potash back into the soil
Both INDUSTRY and recreation are highly devel-
oped. The daily program is almost strenuous,
compared with the life of the boy of similar age
elsewhere.
Discipline is marked characteristic, yet 1t is
kindly and attractive, with large rewards for the
faithful well-ntentioned boy, and a quick and
certain retribution for the boy otherwise. The
boy makes his own place there as he will in
later life in the larger world
The daily routine Is &c follows: Five a. M
boys doing duty as mixers, bakers and cooks
rise; 5:45, reveille; $50, breakfast; to s:45,
classes in manual training and trades; to 11:15,
morning session of school; 1880, dinner; IL m
to 1 p. M. play /, classes In manual training
and trades 230 to s, afternoon session of school;
$50, supper; to Z, play; 7:15 chaper and taps
On Sunday there is a general relaxation. In
stead of reveille at 5:45 in the morning. the
bugle sounds half hour later and instead Of
the peremptory call to rise, a hymn is played
during which the boys may lie abed.
session Of Sunday school is held between
10 and H. in which the instructors having Bible
classes assisted by a theological student who
comes every week for the purpose.
On Sunday there is also the largest distribution
of library books, although they are available
every day in the week.
A church service is held at 3, conducted usual
Iy by a visiting clergyman. The service is I'M
UNCONVENTIONAL and representatives Of various
creeds participate.
In the evening at 7:15 comes the chapel serv-
ice, which is one OF the notable events of the
week. 1t is always conducted by the superintend-
ent. and consists of considerable singing with
Bible reading and prayer
At this service all the announcements OF the
week in the way Of entertainments outings and
celebrations are made. The purpose is to make
the occasion one of the happiest of the week.

Seeing is believing. And when
man can once be brought to believe
something he usually takes of his
coat and tries to put that idea into
practise.
This rs so with the agricultural
game. Demonstration fields with check
plots serve to show the before and
after" or the with and without" eff
fects in the most graphic and convinc.
ing manner. One excellent stand OF
grain on a properly fertilized field in
contrast to little or none on untreated
land across the road makes more con
verts than a whole edition OF printed
matter or an entire convention Of
speakers.
So In accordance with this idea the
county farm demonstrations viii be
continued during the present season in
Wisconsin under the auspices of the
college of agriculture and the various
county boards. The merit of the sys-
tenn has been tested for five years and
no one wants to abandon II, Superin-
tendent G. p. Norgord OF farmers In
stitutes, who started the work in the
state, will again be in charge.
Demonstrations in common sense
farming will be put on at the state and
county farms at the following points:
Chippewa Falls. Eau Claire, GAINESVILLE,
Manitowoc, New Richmond, Oshkosh,
Peshtigo, Reedsburg. Richland Center,
Sheboygan, Sparta. Tomah, Viroqua,
Green Bay, West Bend, Wyocena
Whitehall and Black River Falls.
Practical tests will be tried with
alfalfa, corn. pedigree grain and the
handling Of farm manure. The weigh

The Ayrshire COW, developed under

Milk production is the Ayrshires'

ton. From this he obtained patent of land,
signed November 49, 1922, including 5000 acres
and one island In New England.
In 1926 he moved to Thompson's island with his
wife. infant son and servants, and built his log
house the east shore Of the island Its ruins
were discovered few years ago and the site Is
now marked by a stone inscribed: site OF David

After Thompson's death and the removal Of his
family the possession of the island became a
subject of litigation 1t had been included in the
Massachusetts bay colony patent of 1927, and In
1884 was granted for the support Of free fchool
to the inhabitants Of the town of Dorchester, by
which 1t was rented out a COW pasture.
The island, attractive to its first white owner
because of its harbor. has since then been so
beautifed with groves and rows of trees and
orchards that 1t is probably not excelled in this
respect by any island OF e1ual size along the At
lantic coast.
For three-quarters of a century the work OF
development and beautifying has been going on.
Spruce and other fir trees oaks elms. chestnut,
linden, acacia and elm trees abound The orchard
contains apple, pear. cherry plum and ounce
trees.
More than twenty years ago Mr.. Bradley or
ganized the Cottage Row government. This is a
student municipality, but probably the most real
istic organization Of its kind. 1t includes not
only political government but the ownership OF
property and all that that implies.
Cottage Row consists of dozen cottages, Of
various sizes, built by the boys. and each regis
tered with the plot Of land in registry of deeds.
There is a city hall, where the city council
meets at stated intervals, and where questions OF
student control are discussed well as the af.
fairs of the city property.
The government consists Of a Judge, mayor,
three shareholding or property-holdng aldermen,
and two nonshareholding aldermen. treasurer
and assessor.
The mayor appoints a chief of police, lieu

NEW PLANT A SUCCESS

It looks as though there is no question but that the new wire less plant of the Marconi cam pany, now being erected at Charcoal point, will be great success. An evidence of this is seen in the fact that with but one wire strung of the twenty two that will form the receiv- ing set, messages being trans mitted between San Francis co and Honolulu are now plain ly heard even in daylight. The old plant would sometimes pick them up at night, when all conditions were most favor able, but now they can be cop jed at any time.
