A FARMERS VIEWS.

/ understand there is a great deal
Of fault found by the hunting element
of this community because farmers
are having notices published prOhib-
iting hunting on their premises.
They make the claim that the game
does not belong to the farmer, also
that after the state grants them IL
cense they are prohibited from hunt
ing. great many seem to think be-
cause they have a license they have a
right to hunt anywhere and the farm
er should furnish the hunting grounds.
/ suppose if some of them were to
get marriage license they would ex-
pect the issuing clerk to find them a
woman to marry.
Now, as far as the farmer not own
ing the game, 1 partly agree with
them and for their benefit l wish to
announce that there are number of
RABBITS and squirrels on my premises
and if the owner will please call at
my place. prove property and pay the
damage the owner can take them away
without any further argument.-Prai-
RE du Chen Courier.

This is a picture of the new graded
schools of Joint District No. 1, COM
prising part of Clifton township, all
of the village of Livingston, except
twenty acres, and part of Mifflin town
ship in Iowa county. The new build
ing is located in the east part of Liv-
ingstOn.
1t deserves especial mention because
it stands for several things in modern
educational ideas and the housing of
the scholars under the most pleasant
conditions. The people of this district
believe that as long as a school build
ing is necessary, the best is none too
good, and they have proven their be-
lief by erecting a structure that will
serve as a model in it's line. Some of
the details are:
Cost of lot, $1,000. Cost of building,
complete, including heating plant,
electric wiring. etc., over $1,000. The
building is built something on the or
der of a Maltese Cross, sixty-two feet

BOOSTERS
HOLD MASS MEETING
Gather at Knapp's Rink and Lis
ten to Experts Talk.
West Grant Still Hot for Line, But
Says "ShOw Me"-Other
Meetings In View.

The meeting held at the rink last
Wednesday evening was not largely at
tended, but every one present seemed
to pay close attention to the remarks
made by Mr.. A. r. BurkdOll Of the
Railway Equipment and Engineering
company, of Chicago, and J. J. Butler,
of the same city. The gist of each
SPEAKERS talk was that unless the
people of the community stood behind
he railroad and gave it their financial
support as we'll as well as their ell
thusiaStic endorsement it was of lit
tie use to ask outside capital for aid.
Mr.. Butler touched upon the
condition of the money market, and
how at the present time money was
more free than it had been for years.
SO 600, 100000 are idle in the banks of
New York City, awaiting good invest
ment propositions and there will not
for a long time be chance as good
as at present for obtaining funds, de-
clared this speaker. Mr.. Butler illus
trated how interurban roads had
tendency to increase land values and
said that considering $4,000 acres
would affected by the improvement, an
increase in value of 81 per acre would
pay for the road.
Mr.. Burkdoll addressed the audience
and, after talking about the pOssibili-
ties in Grant county for new road,
asked for an opinion from the audi
ence Several men from West Grant
expressed their own opinion and what
they felt the general community in
which they lived thought about hav-
ing a line through that territory. Abe
Patch of Bloomington, Geo. Monroe OF
Mt Hope, Monroe and Mr.. Robertson
of Patch Grove urged the visitors to
call in their villages and get an ex-
preston from the people themselves.
West Grant people have been fooled
so often that they are shy, declared
these gentlemen, and proposition
must be real to secure any endorse
ment.
Mr.. Monroe said he thought notes
might be obtained payable upon COM
DletiOn of the road. After the meet
ing a conference was held between the
visitors and the West Grant men re-
garding meetings in the villages OF
Beetown, Bloomington, Patch Grove
and Mt. Hope. These meetings will
probably take place in the near flu
ture. Thursday the visitors were
shown over the territory along the
line of the survey.

FARMERS WEEK PLANNED.

Lancaster is to have a Farmers
Week this winter. That is, if enough
farmers interested will agree to at
tend and take advantage of the things
offered, and this is almost certain.
What is a Farmers Week% 1t is
a 4 days course beginning on Tuesday
morning and lasting until Friday even
ing During this time instruction is
given by experts from the university
college of agriculture to those enroll
ing. The course is not limited to far
mers only, as any one interested in
agricultural affairs may attend and
particularly is the course arranged
for the housewife. Under the arrange
ment being worked out, there will be
no charge connected with the meet
ings. Lancaster business men defray-
ing whatever expense is necessary.
The following tells briefly what will
be done. Watch this paper for dates:
University Extension Bulletin.)
1. A Farmers Week is offered for
a period of four days. The meeting
begins on Tuesday morning and closes
on Friday evening, during the fall and
winter months of the year.
2. For Men-Intensive instruction
is given largely in two lines of work:
for instance, Corn and Diary; Soils
and Potatoes; (a) Live Stock; OBJ
Grains; (c) Poultry; (dD Garden; (e)
Farm Management; (f) Farm Build
ings; (g) Concrete on the Farm; (h)
Drains and Drainage.
8. For Women-A limited number
of home economics week meetings
held in the state during the year. The
following list of subjects is sufficiently
suggestive: (a) Sewing and Cooking;
CD Home Decoration and Household
Conveniences; (c) Sewing and Tex
tiles; Cd Invalid Care and Cookery
4. The local organization provides
suitable building for holding the
Farmers Week and furnishes heat,
light, janitor service, drayage, express
charges one way and such other Incl
dental expenses as may be incurred in
operating these meetings.
5. The local organization usually
provides for it's fund for maintaining
the Farmers Week by an incidental
fee of One Dollar charged each person
in attendance This fund may also be
raised by subscriptions, commercial
or farmers clubs, banks, schools, and
in other ways, providing the applica-
ton for the school be made by the re-
uuired number of farmers and others.
6. The college of agriculture will
furnish at least two instructors for
each Farmers Week, all laboratory
material necessary, and will provide
railroad and hotel expenses.
Z. Application for Farmers Week
must be made by not less than fifty
persons certifying their desire to at
tend the Farmers Week meeting, the
majority of whom should be actual
farmers, for four days, and the appl1-
cation should be made not later than
November /, 1915. The same rules ap-
ply to Home Economics Week. 1t is
suggested that as many signers as
possible be obtained for the respective
Farmers and Home Economics Week
meetings.

NEW METHODS OF MATCHING.

J. D. Beetham of North Lancaster,
recently found a newly born chicken
on the field along the side of stack
of grain. Mr.. Beetham's theory is that
the egg was laid in the stack on the
sunny side and in the subsequent wet
and dry weather enough heat was de-
veloped to hatch out the chick.

Preparing for Summer Camp
Return to Simple Living With Whole Family

While there may be some small
difficulty about securing supplies. the
other glorious asset that the camp
offers is its independence, Its privacy.

any resort. the camp spells freedom
and relaxation, except for those few
who prefer to dress six times a day
and hold down the piazza with
stories OF their appendix and their
poodles.
No true rest can be gained in fictl-
tious relaxation. The housekeeper
as much as any other woman, needs
a change from the ordinary house

You are the happier OF the two.

how or other women are having 1t
better than they did.
Miss Mackayc like her famous
brother Percy Mackaye is entrance
the eyes. and so hypnotize the ear
that she brings her characters al
most into the vision.
You see this little drama, THE De-
Tense of Mother. Is just, oh--ever
so small an incident in the life Of
wonderfully just what ihe trials Of
those first days OF woman suffrage
werc." she said. "A woman who had
endured everything from her hus-
band. and when ! say everything,
mean everything wicked the human
mind and body can do, fled with her
chile for protection to Susan r. An
thony. Although Miss Anthony had
many influential friends. many who
upheld her IN her views, none OF the
stanchest would uphold her in this
new role.
Her Early Trials.
What right had she or anyone
else in the world to interfere with
woman and her husband. or rather
with a husband and his woman?
Was she not his. and II he saw fit
to have her placed in an insane asy-
lum. was he not the Judge of the
matter? That was the attitude of
Miss Anthony's friends.
Every possible bit of pressure
was brought to bear upon her but
she refused to tell of the hiding
place of the hunted creature.
This is only part Of the story.
but contemporary events in the life
OF Miss Anthony herself arc in~keep-
ing with IT. She used to belong to a
temperance society. but no women
were allowed to speak in It. Tce
women and the men met separates.
sometimes the women were allowed
