A FARM FOR CITY BOYS.
Elmira Organization Gives Boys From
Town Four Years of Farm Ex-
perience.

A group of city boys who have just
finished a four year course in practical
agriculture on a New York farm have
been visiting the department, where they
have received additional instruction in
soil surveys, soil tests and soil boring,
and are being posted generally on the
work of the federal department. There
are II Of these young men, and they
call themselves "The Omega Club" They
are accompanied by their director, Mr..
Rufus Stanley.
Some II years ago Mr.. Stanley organ
lied a unique experiment in agriculture.
He thought that for growing city boys
the benefit OF some practical farm ex-
pcrience would be invaluable, and to
give some of the young men of his city,
Elmira, a chance TO experience actual
country life as well as TO give them
something profitable TO do during vaca-

WHEN FIRE ALARM RINGS
Clear the Center of the Street and Troll
ley Cars Stop.

Officials of the fire department wish to
call the attention of the public to the
city ordinances regarding street traffic in
case of an alarm of fire. The ordinances
require that road vehicles at once take a
position on the side of the road that is
the most Immediately accessible and that
street cars stop. They report that the
motormen on the street cars have shown
a disposition to live up to the ordinances
but that drivers of automobiles persist
in moving along the street to the hind
rance, if not actual checking, of the fire
apparatus.
For the benefit OF all the section OF
the ordinances relating thereto is here
printed:
"Sec. 90. In case OF an alarm OF fire.
il shall be the duty of the owners or
drivers of animals and vehicles in any
street in which the fire department appa-
ratus is approaching, to move such ami
NAL or vehicle to the right or left of the
center of the street without delay, so as
to give such fire apparatus free and un
obstructed passage to the fire; or If
street car, it shall be stopped until the
fire apparatus has passed by"

tions and on Saturdays, he brought his
interesting project into being.
/ A typical New York farm of 90 acres
was secured with as many distinctive
features about it as possible. The farm
has buildings, woodlot, river, dry
stream. and presents a number of differ
ent soil conditions. Sixty bows every
year are given the privilege of managing
and operating this farm. While wishing
to make the idea practical, Mr.. Stanley
did not desire TO take the boys out OF
school or away from their homes. so
il has been arranged that they should
live with their people and attend their
schools, merely devoting vacations, Sat
urday afternoons, and other idle times
to the work. The farm is about five
miles from town. and some of the young
city farmers ride bicycles or street car
for part of distance TO work, while 9th.
eTs walk.
| There are four classes Of boys in the
schools, each with about Ii members.
and they earn five to eight cents an hour
from their work. the wages varying with
the class. Each boy pays an annual tax
to the institution, which ranges from
$3.50 TO $3.50, according TO the class.
Each class OF sophomores chooses the
fortunate young men who are TO follow
them the next year. From the seniors
are chosen the boys who remain as post
graduate instructors. and the second
year following graduation one Of these
is chosen to be the superintendent of
the farm. A superintendent Is years of
age is at present actually holding down
his job while the graduating class, with
Director Stanley, are in Washington.
In Winter Boys Make Potato Crates.
Even in winter, when actual opera
tions on the farm are not practicable. |
the boys are kept busy. A practical |
shop fyr the manufacture of farm articles /
is run in the town. Every wear the
BOYS manufacture about 5000 potato
crates alone. and throughout the country /
districts in the vicinity Of Elmira th, 1
crates of these BOYS may BE- seen. Com.
mercial articles are also made. This
work is done evenings after school and
on Saturdays.
The farm Is long past tho experiment
tai stage. and many Of its graduates
have entered colleges Of agriculture.
whence they have gone 60 take positions
Of responsibility. Some are at present i
employed in the federal department.

DANIELS IS AFTER NAVAL LABORATORY Sends Request to New In. vention Board to Formu-
 late Plans for Same

Washington, September 1s.--seoretary Daniels announced today he had re- quested members of the new naval ad. visory council on inventions. headed by Thomas A. Edison. to formulate ideas as to the experimental and research labor atory to be maintained by the navy de- partment for the development of inven- tions. The secretary in letter to the members of the council asks them to be ready with their ideas when the coun. ell holds It's first meeting next month.
 Tn addition to securing the advice Of the most famous inventors of the eoun. try and in organizing in practical and efficient way to get such advice" said the secretary's statement, T intend greatly to develop the resources Of the navy department itself and to increa SC largely it's facilities for experimental work in the line of developing imperfect ed inventions.
 The navy has been seriously handi- capped by the lack of an adequate con tfo. establishment where the ideas of it's own officers as well as those suggested by civilians could be taken up and pa- tiently developed in the ssame way that such ideas are handled in great mafu- featuring establishments.

STEAMER ATH|NA|
 ABANDONED AT SEA
Left New York Last Thurs day and Caught
 Fire

Halifax, September 19.--The Greek steamer Athinai, which left New York last Thursday for Piraeus. took fire and was abandoned at sea. according to a message received by wireless tonight from Captain Mclean of the Anchor liner Tuscania
 The message gave the position of the Animal as latitude 4054 north, longi- tude 5S.47. west
 The steamer carried only small passenger list, but had large general cargo and many bags of mail. No word had come late tonight regarding the safety of her crew and passengers but the authorities of the marine and fish cries department, which received the message from Captain Mclean, believed that as the Tuscania was standing by. she probably had taken all hands on board safely
 The cause of the fire remained un- known tonight. It was regarded here as coincidence that the vessel took fire In almost the same latitude and longitude as that of the Sant Anna was endangered by flames last week.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

several large lines of cotton were liqui- dated while fairly constant selling came from smaller holders
 The trade this week will be chiefly eoneerned with the question of how strong the reaction really Is and how great an extent. it will work to offset the bullish features which are devel- oping in the situation. Some traders think the announcement of the success of the negotiations of the foreign financial com mission now in this country would jus tify higher range of values but the more bearish element thinks the ad- yanees of this last week discounted any such event
 Further rises in exchange would give exporters an advantage they have not enjoyed hitherto this season and prob- ably would result in a considerable vol une of business with the other side.
 Weather conditions will continue to be an important factor in the situation be- cause of the vast amount of cotton now open In the south.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-20


 New Orleans, September 19.-Cotton was forced to new high records for the sea Son last week by bullish sentiment and heavy buying, but after the middle of the week a reactlonary tendency was displayed and profit taking was heavy on the long side The highest prices were reached Wednesday when the trading months were 75 to 80 points over last weeks close. The net change for the week was rise of 30 to 43 points
 Bullish feeling was based on continued unfavorable crop accounts. small crop estimates, the rise in foreign exchange and the belief that the proposed loan 10 England and France would greatly stimulate the export movement of the staple. Against the market was what the bears termed its overbeusht condi- tion and the constant realizing of profits by satisfied longs. There was gossip that
