ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY UNIQUE
IN SOME RESPECTS.


fhN w "a hluallsf
Four thousand three hundred and nine

Urbana last year and more than one thon-

them. The University Of Illinois does not
encourage short course study % any

eight week, i conducted principally for
the benefit of high school teachers and
college instructors. many of them people
of mature age and ripe scholarships, who
desire t. >pcEL \ part of the summer Va

average age Of the students Of the Uni
ver~ity OF Illinois J. 2l years. rather high.
and the authorities like Ia see 4 high aver
age and believe that many students fail in
university work only because they under
take it too early. Besides. they are not
particularly anxious for an Increase in
numbers. but rather desire a constant inn
%provcment in quality. One thousand five

IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP.
There Will Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch
Ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for number of years.
says:-
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels Of wheat, the pro-
duction Of the countries at war, tied
up. This is about one-half the worlds
total production of wheat, which is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce a one-half crop in
the coming year, deficit of one bill
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filing
of this deficit of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output of these three countries is only
1,249, 000,0 900, their exportable surplus
would of course be much less, so it
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and it
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
to re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process of rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration of peace the farmers
of all neutral wheat-producing coun-
tries will have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices,
and it may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she is under the protec-
ton of the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
If the summing-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
of the Dominion of Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands Of the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat in large quantities, but
cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do
well. The climate is admirably suited.

corporation Tax Law Upheld.

In a decision handed down the other
day the Kansas supreme court upheld
the constitutionality of the state cor.
poration tax law. This law, enacted
by the 1913 legislature, went into eff
feet in March, 1914. 1t represents
100000 annually in revenue to the
state. OF that amount $4,000 was
paid by the corporations under pro-
test last year. The present decision
is the elimination of the fight in the
courts over the rights of the state
to demand the corporation tax.

ravel the mystery for me. Upon calling his
attention TO the matter, he somewhat irritably
informed me that the woman buried down in
the hills was IAN old fraud" and the "old roost-
ers," as he termed my earlier informants, were
utterly unreliable. He then proceeded to show
me by reputable authorities where Molly
Pitcher was buried, etc. AS this information
was not new to me, it did not interest me
further than the tendency it had to obscure
the answer to the question, Who was Captain
Molly of the Highlands? On this point the
good doctor could give me no light. How
ever, after considerable questioning, he sud
denly remembered that there was an old copy
book Of letters in the library which might in
terest me. This, upon being produced, proved
to be copies o. letters in the handwriting Of
William Price quartermaster at West Point
during the period following the close of the
Revolutionary War, and written to Secretary
OF War Knox. In these letters he made fre-
quent mention OF Captain Molly, as he called
her, all of which referred to her need of cloth
ing, boarding house etc. In fact, he seemed
70 be her especial guardian and her every need
and wish was his utmost concern. But why
this was so the doctor could not tell me- And
here the doctors charge that she was ''an old
fraud" seemed to fail of proof. SO found the
mystery to deepen in the place of being un,
ravelled.
In my conversation with the doctor he men,
toned family who claimed to have the per-
sonal effects of Captain Molly, purchased at
the public vendue held after her death, as was
the custom in those days when person died
without friends or heirs. This being a prom
ising lead, called, and was shown fax reel,
spinning wheel andirons and several other in
teresting articles While all this was interest
ing, it still threw no light on the perplexing
question, who was Captain Molly of the
Highlands"
After visiting her grave and making sure of
its location, seemed to come to the end of
the read so far as local information could lead
New-York tribune., 1915-02-21

past his allotted threescore years and ten, but,
fortunately, in possession of good memory,
fortified with liberal education and library
of choice volumes. Upon my announcing the
object of my visit, he readily replied "Yes;
Molly Pitcher is buried here in the Highlands,
and my grandfather helped bury her" The
captain, being a man OF very positive views,
and not thinking it profitable to spend the vslu-
able time in debate, l did not express my
doubts, but piled him with questions regarding
this Molly Pitcher.
He told me many interesting details in her
life among the dwellers Of the Highlands. OF
her characteristics, habits and especially of
her shortcomings. She was an Irish woman,
with Enthusiastically sharp tongue and
quick temper. Not always particular Of her
dress or person, yet commanding and naughty;
that, while she was called Dirty Kate" by
those who had incurred her displeasure or ex-
periented her wrath, she was invariably saluted
as Captain Molly when face to face. That, in
spite of all the hard things said about her.
her favor was held in high esteem by all. Her
grave had never been marked otherwise than
by a cedar tree which grew beside il, and
which IN later years had been cut down, but
the stump still remained His father had taken
him to her grave, and, pointing to it, had said:
Your grandfather brought me here, as have
you. and pointing out her grave, told me it
was here we buried Molly Pitcher" That he
had recently marked the grave with small
wooden stave on which he had placed the let
ters M. p.
All this was so interesting that felt must
learn more OF this Captain Molly. So, after
thanking the captain for the interesting and
valuable information he had given me, and
securing his promise to give me another in
terview at later date, l left him. and was
more deeply mystihed than ever.
l then thought of my friend, the late DR..
Holden, the venerable librarian OF West
Points valuable and interesting library. I
was conv;reed the doctor would su-aly pn.
