Our old friend the horse is going
into the electric light producing bust

Robert ID. McCreery OF Ohio
IF, said McCreary, "a horse can
give power to a wagon, why can't he
give energy to a dynamo
In other words, a horse, figured
McCreery, could be uSed as one
horse power engine.

10 a set of gears which are in turn at
tached TO a dynamo. The horse steps
into the harness and starts walking
around and around a 14-foOt track at
the rate OF one mile and a half an
hour, making electricity all the while.
IF the horse should stop. an cleo

LINCOLN HIGHWAY NOTES

The press OF Wyoming is advocat-
ing the immediate establishment of
a state highway department. In 1914
the various counties of the state spent
S425, 900 on public roads but without
any concerted aim and largely through
inexperienced supervisors and with
poor equipment The Cheyenne,
Wyo., Leader calls attention to the
fact that through state roads such as
the Lincoln highway suffer through
this inefficient method Of procedure,
and states that by putting 10 per cent
OF the present expenditure into sys-
tenn and competent administration the
results obtained from the remaining
80 per cent would be doubled.
An overhead bridge for the 3. &
o. railway over the Lincoln highway
at Mansfield, o., has been proposed
and the railroads engineers are now
drawing up plans and estimates. The
railroad is willing TO stand 60 pei
cent of the cost If the county will
pay the balance. The crossing has
| long been a dangerous one. two peO-
pie having been killed there in the
last two years, and with the heavy
traffic increase which will come thi!
year as a result of the thousands OF
| interstate tourists following the Lin
/ coin highway, the elimination of the
| grade crossing is thought advisable
| The bridge would be of steel.

PICKING AND THRASHING PEA
 NUTS.

Peanuts should cure in the stack at least three or four weeks before pick ing or thrashing in order to allow the pods to become dry and the peas firm.
 Peanuts are still picked by hand in some sections, especially when the grower has only few acres. Hand picking is a very laborious and dusty task, but hand-picked nuts are the standard of excellence on the market. The expense of picking by hand IS greater than by machinery, and as It is difficult to get enough labor for handwork machines are used by prac- tically all large growers.
 Two types of machines are Med for picking peanuts from the vines. The common grain thrasher with special cylinder for peanuts gives quite satls- factory results in removing Spanish peanuts from the vine. The principal objection to cylinder machines IS the tendency to break the pods, but by running the cylinder about 400 revolu-
 
 tions per minute and by feeding pro perly the breakage can be reduced to very small percentage. If the pea nuts are to be shelled soon after they go on the market, the breaking ot the pods is not very objectionable. When oats or wheat are grown in localities where peanuts are raised, the cylin- der machine can be used for all ot these crops by having two cylinders one for grain and one for peanuts.
 The peanut picker works upon an entirely different principle from the cylinder machines. The picking IS done by dragging the vines over horizontal frame covered with wire mesh. The nuts drop through the wire and at the same time rubber brushes attached to an endless cham act on the lower side of the screen to remove the nuts. In addition to re- moving the pods from the vines, these machines have cleaning and tenn ming devices which remove the dirt and the small stems from the pods.

TEMPERANCE INSURANCE.

Tt may interest abstainers to know" says the Temperance Leader, that in 1S40 an application was re- ceived by an English insurance com pany for policy on the life of an abstainer, and the directors of the company decided to charge ten per cent. more than the ordinary pre- mium, because they looked upon the applicant as thin and watery, and as mentally cranked in that he repudi- ated the good creatures of God as found in alcoholic drinks AS the result of this action, he, with his friends. founded the first temperance insurance company in Britain, and himself lived to the age of eighty two.

FlSTULA AND MALE CLOTHING

Some one, sometime, will write q monograph on the influence of dress on disease-and it will not be con |cerned wholly with feminine dress and feminine fashions. Emphasis will be placed on the fact that the masculine hat has probably laid the basis for as many headaches as all the vagaries of feminine fashion in headgear. Some thing will also be said about the other end of the body. In spite of high heels and other abominations. femi- nine footwear, with the heel pushed farther toward the middle of the foot. has often proved better support for the arch and foot generally than the supposedly much more sensible mas culine footgear. Women suffer much less from flat foot than men, but SO called common sense shoes for women have often predisposed to such dis turbances.
 Philip H. Mitchiner, of St. Thomas Hospital, London, calls attention to the frequency of fstula in males. The proportion of males to females suffer- ing from this affection, in over 1,50O persons who have been operated on for fstula in St. Thomas Hospital during the past ten years, was about five to one. Other statistics support this conclusion. and some of them present even a rather larger propor- tion of males. The disease is very rare among children, but both at St. Thomas and in the Hospital for Sick children have occurred among males. The commonest age for the accur- renee of fistula among children is from to , years, and Mitchiner sug- gests that the liability to the affection at this time is probably connected with the custom of putting children into trousers during these years. He thinks that the cause of the disease in most cases is an infectious process set up by the irritation of trousers.
 The development of fistula is due, in the case of adults, he belives, to the exposure to considerable friction from the male clothing. This would em- phasize the necessity for having the trousers fit not too closely. Above all, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, cleanliness is an extremely important precaution, and looseness of the trousers should be in- sisted on.

X Soft One.

This one is told on a certain pugilist who is far better acquainted with the big names of fistic chronology than with those in the school history books
 Having reached England in the course of his puligistic travels, he was patronized by nobleman with sport ing tastes. A week end visit to the country estate was in order
 The gentleman personally conducted his guest about the mansion, and when they arrived at certain preten- tious bedroom, he said with pride: Here sir, is where the great Nelson slept"
 The pugilist stepped over and touch- ed the high, white-covered bed appre- ciatively. "Gee!" he remarked 'leave it to the Battler to pick out a soft one. ."-Everybody's Magazine.

ONE DAYS FINE WORK
Rural SchooIhouse in Tennessee
 Is Transformed.
Dirty, Disreputabe Building Repaired, Painted and Decorated in Eight Hours by Normal School
 Teacher and Pupils.

Rural School Letter No 1O." of Feb ruary 19, 1914. issued by the bureau of education, Washington, D. C., relates this story of "One Days Work on a Country Schoolhouse."
 It took just one working day of eight schoolhouse that was in very bad con- dition into a building of which any community would be proud What was accomplished in this instance by com munity cooperation could be carried out effectively by any county superin- tendent, teacher or school improve ment association.
 This unique and practical demon stration in public-school improvement was engineered by Prof. D. Riley Ha- worth of the East Tennessee State Norman school. Professor Haworth first secured the cooperation of the county board of education of McNIinn county, in which the demonstration was carried out. He also secured the cooperation of the public school teach CTS of the county and of the patrons of the Neil school, the plan being to show what any neighborhood can do in one day by united action in the i'm provement of school buildings and grounds.
 A band of teachers, school patrons and normal school students marched out to the Neil school early in the morning to begin operations. An off, cial photographer was taken along. He made photographs of the school grounds, the building and interior at s a. m., before work began, and again at D. m, when the days work was completed The before" and after" pictures made it look as if a miracle had taken place.
 The building at a. m. was i'll as dis and still be used for school purposes. The workers were armed with shovels, hoes, axes, carpenters tools, paint, whitewash and soap. They nailed on new boards where they were needed, painted the building, built a chimney. NltdLtu up lAC ubbicif SNiQbbN ehS floor, renovated the entire interior, constructed a bookcase for the teach CT, tinted the walls pearl-gray color, and hung pictures The old desks were removed and new desks, supplied by the school district, were placed in the building.
 The outlay aggregated, in cash, $33. It included 12 gallons of paint, 5 gal Ions of linseed oil, 4 paint brushes, onehalf bushel of whitewash, $2 worth of weather boarding and lathing, 2 pounds of nails. window shades, ma terial for sash curtains, pictures, a number of books to start a school library and one American flag. When the work was completed the building presented as attractive an appearance as the best one-room country school.
 One of the most delightful features of the day was the social enjoyment that resulted from the gathering to- gether of such large group of work CTS. At noon a picnic dinner was served by people in the neighborhood of the school. It IS planned to repeat the demonstration in many other parts of the state.

Feet Instead of FathOms.

Marine Journal
 The United States Navy Depart ment having jettisoned the nautical terms "starboard" and "port" for right" and left" in steering, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Service is seriously contemp- lating further disregarding former nautical nomenclature by printing the depth of water on coasting charts in feet instead of fathoms as heretofore, and to that end is obtaining the opin- ion of navigators pro and con as to its practicability. It is natural that changes of this character should take place, as those engaged in promoting simpler as we'll as more efficient means of obtaining satisfactory results in navigation find them to be advantage. There is little doubt but that after ob- tainlng a consensus of opinion there will be but one opinion that every thing in connection with the construc- tion and operation of ship should be measured in feet and inches as well as on the land. Then why not adopt the units of all depths below the surface, the same as all heights above sea level The antiquated fathom (six feet) has outlived it's efficient but clumsy usefulness.

ne picker type of machine does not break or injure the pods, and for this reason It Is especially desirable for picking peanuts that are to be sold In the pod or stored through the sum- mer months.
 Alter the peanuts are picked they should be stored in dry place, prefer ably In mouse-proof building. If the peanuts are damp after their re- moval from the vines they should be spread on floor or stored in a we'll ventilated building. When the pods are dry they may be put into bags as they come from the machine.

LIVING AT HOME

Manufacturers and farmers produce ..n,orse wealth annually, and very ,.o D. nor cent of it finds its way to sa s' .offers of the non-producers in a .,w centers where the money of the country, by fair or foul means, is con- centrated.
 Those who have control of money ..to in direct interest and fees and na;rect charges, fearful toll from ,ho producers. Officials, politicians, morpv sharks and many others howl ofteu long and loud for favorable laws making it easy for outsiders to snd money. giving as an excuse that more favorable laws will reduce the interest rate.
 There are too many "rake- offs" be- tween the lender and borrower, and until some more direct plan of lend ing mony on first class security is devised, neither the farmer nor any otber borrower will be able to get home or foreign money at an equita- ble interest rate.
 When times are good" it is easy to borrow money on good collateral and when money is easy" the inter est rate begins to sag and those who control money realize that their mon ey is not earning as much as they can make it earn-by bringing on hard times--and they can make hard tines when they get together and put their full weight on the financial le- per
 Concentrated money luxuriates in paniCS and "hard times" because it can demand larger tolls, and the bor- rover, because of tight money" must make greater sacrifices to meet its demands.

Very truly yours, HENRY COE CULBERTSON,

President College of Emporia."
 In a personal letter to Mir, White, a copy of which is also in the hands of the w. C. T. U. Publicity bureau, Mir. Culbertson deals with the college financial affairs in detail We quote:
 The article to which you call my attention is utterly absurd. Neither the College of Emporia nor Washburn college ever received an annual do- nation of $200 000' from the East So far as l can ascertain, during the en- tire thirty-two years existence of the College of Emporia, this institution has not received as much as $65,000 in all, for all purposes, buildings, en- dowment and current expenses, from persons living outside the state. This is an average of about two thousand dollars per year. Almost all of our endowment, and the money to erect our buildings, as well as the money to meet our current expense budget of $40,000 per year has come from the gifts of the people in this pro- hibition state of Kansas.
 Even if it cost us $200,000 or any other amount in possible gifts, our faculty, officers and trustees would still indorse most emphatically the prohibition policy. which we believe involves the moral and social wei fare of our state and nation.

THE LAST LAUGH"

TIE LAS LAOGH."
 An article under the above caption has been going the rounds of the press It assails William Allen Whites story, What's the Matter With Kansas?' published some time since in the Saturday Evening Post
 MT. White,' it said, "boasted about the big crops of Kansas, the per cap- ita wealth of Kansas, the number of automobiles in Kansas, and almost succeeded in making everyone believe that Kansas was wholly rich as we'll as richly holy. But he overdid it. And his home town, Emporia, is the goat. For years the College of Elm. poria has been largely supported by means of donations from wealthy Fasteners. who imagined they were assisting a poor little college on the wind-%ept prairies.' When these rich patrons read MT. Whites clever but misleading article they withdrew their subscriptions. This year the college must look to home for the an nual donation of s200,0O0, which used to come out of the East"
 The National w. c. T. U. Bureau of Publicity forwarded the article to Mr. White and in reply he says:
 T have received, 1 should say, a dozen or fifteen clippings from all over the United States exactly like the one you sent. The clippings was sent out by the liquor interests through the National Clipping bureau, and there is no truth whatever in the statement. It is pure fiction
 MT. White sends also the following statement written for the public by the president of the college:
 ITO WHOM TT MAY CONCERN:
 "I have learned that certain selfish interests are circulating story that the College Of Emporia has lost dona- tions and subscriptions in the East, due to an article in The Saturday Evening Post on the prohibition situa- tion in Kansas, written by William Allen White. l wish to say there is absolutely no foundation for this Stp0N
