kiIowatt Formula.

Here is what kilowatt Is and the
formula for computing it.:
First. multiply the current by the
conscience of the proprietor Of the cleo
tric light plant; divide this by the me-
ter on the wall and add whatever you
can't multiply. The answer win come
In dollars and cents. Just divide these
by the price you pay per Hlowatt and
multiply again to find out what kilo-
watt is. 1t is something you can feel.
but can't see; something that you pay
for according to what some one tells
you who doesn't know what he is talk
ing about, and he proves it by the me-
ter that runs by guess and by thunder
and is attached to a wall by a hired
man with machine grease on his nose
You know just how many kilowatts
you have had, just what they cost you
apiece. but you don't know what they
are. what they look like. who made
them or what shape they are. - St
Louis Post Dispatch.

1914 CONFERENCE SPEAKERS.
OF course, realize how this condi-
tion came about. It Is an inheritance
from the old barter days. 1t was only
comparatively recently that the farm
or himself, had need Of cash income.
The table was supplied from the farm
and in the small village store farm
products were exchanged for goods. So
the farmer has never learned the
necessity Of a cash income until COM
paratively recent years, so he has not
been accustomed to dividing up as /
think he should.
One very great consideration In this
connection is the effect that it has on
the young people in the home. You
all know, who are fathers, that the
boys and girls Of the present day want
q stated income. It is more to get a
stated income that the young people
go from the country to the town and
city. They would rather be steno-
graphers or clerks and have definite
incomes. One of the things that l
plead for particularly. when am talk
ing to farmers, and think 1t Is just as
essential when talking to ministers,
who have the leadership in the coun-
try plead that the farmer take his
daughter or his son into business part

HOME STUDY THROUGH coRRE-
8 sPoNDENcE COURSES IN AGRI-
cULTRE SHOULD PROVE
HELPFUL.
DIRECTOR T. B. SYMONS,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

We hear from many men and wom-
en- who desire TO study agriculture and
who cannot leave their homes or their
present occupation to go to College
even for a short course. In order to
provide for the people so situated, the
Extension Service of the Maryland
Agricultural College has arranged to
give instruction by mail, as part OF
its service to the people of the State.
It has been fully demonstrated that
instruction by correspondence is prac-
tical and 1t is recognized as an efficient
means of giving valuable information
and direct systematic study. While
such instruction lacks some of the ad-
vantages of personal contact which
resident study gives, yet 1t has some
advantages of Its own.
The student taking a correspondence
course is thrown upon his resources
and thus develops self-relIance He
comes in contact with the instructor
through correspondence as an in
dividual. not as a member of class.
Correspondence study enables the stu
dent to employ his spare time in his
home. while permitting him TO pursue
his daily work. It thus furnishes an
opportunity for the busy man and
woman on the farm, the ambitious
teacher. and the young student Of linn
tied means to gain knowledge that
win increase his efficiency and make
his labor more profitable to himself
and useful to society.
The courses offered have been pre-.
pared by the teachers and specialists
at the College and Experiment Station
and. therefore. follow similar lines as
the instruction given in the respective
subjects at the Institution. They are
planned so as to be of special adapt
ability to Maryland conditions.

Part of Proposed Reclamation
District Owned by Territory;
Scope of Work Outlined

Waikiki reclamation on a big scale
is urged in letter Superintendent of
Public Works Charles r. Forbes has
written to Governor Pinkham. Details
of the proposed fill in the unsavory
and unsightly "duck-pohd district" are
outlined by Superintendent Forbes.
Furthermore, the superintendent
calls attention to the fact not gener-
ally known-if it has been known at
all-that the government owns more
than 60 acres of land in this district.
In the hope of enlisting the active
support and cooperation of the public
so that the next legislature may feel
favorably inclined toward the plan,
Superintendent Forbes has sent copy
of the letter to the Promotion Com
mittee. The Promotion Committee
yesterday voted to refer the sugges-
tions to the Chamber of Commerce
with the committees hearty recon-
mendation.
Superintendent Forbes letter outlin-
ing the big project says:
