They are addressing you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an elo- quent story of the worlds prog fess. The inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an en- during service to mankind. Ne can all help others for a brief period while We live. but 1t takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light a torch of progress that will illuminate the pathway of civilization for future generations. The men who gave Us the sickle. the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions worl. in every field on earth and will continue their labors as long as time Their bright intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve mankind on and on forever. without money and without price They have shown Us how grand and noble 1t is to work for others; they have also taught us lessons in economy and efficiency, how to make one hour do the work of two or more i; have heightened our lives. multi piled our opportunities and taken toll off the back of humanity.
 They are the most practical
 men the world ever produced Their inventions have stood tb, acid test of utility and efficiency
 Like all useful men, they do noi seek publicity, yet millions oi machines sing their praises from every harvest field on earth and as many blows turn the soil in mute applause of their marvellous achievements.

SIXTEEN AGGY COURSES.
Are Free to Those Who Apply at Arkansas
 College of Agriculture.

From the Extension Building of the College of Agriculture at Fay etteville little booklets are being sent out on request entitled Cor respondenee Courses in Agfieul- ture.' They describe sixteen dif4 ferent courses that any citizen of Arkansas may take without any charge except the cost price of the texts used.
 Few people are too busy to take one of these courses. They an swer the same questions that are being sent to the college every day in dozens of letters from every whege. They answer thousands more than should be asked.
 Few farmers know all about the principles of soil building, of crop growing. of stock feeding of fefti- llzing. of gardening or fruit growing, poultry keeping. dairying. breeding, or of livestock disease. Few of the many teachers trying to teach agriculture know these things of the last word about school ground improvement, farm arithmetic and home sanitation. The boys and girls of the poultry and pig clubs want to know the business they are following. Their teachers Can help them.
 These courses have been ar ranged to meet Arkansas needs. They are just what the farmer is looking for in beginning to diversity Fifty people are already taking these courses. Some schools are charging SIS to $2O for courses of the same kind. Wouldn't it be a good plan for our readers to write to the College of Agriculture for a booklet2

3 IMPORTANT BATTLES
IN PROGRESS IN EUROPE:
ITALIANS IN CONFERENCE
Fighting Is Reported Both Sides Of Dardanees Straits;
Russian and Austrian Official Statements Indicate
Battles in Carpathians Are Becoming More Intense;
German Effort to Turn Left British Flank Near Ypres
Has Failed

Military operations of critical i'm
portance are now under way stimuli
taneously in three distinct fields of
action.
In Flanders the Germans are once
more engaged with the British, Bel
gians and French in a struggle for
mastery of the territory near the User
canal, where several months ago there
occurred what was perhaps the most
terrible struggle of the war thus far.
In the Carpathians the Russians are
assuming the offensive in another of
their repeated efforts to push over the
mountain barriers into Hungary.
At the Dardanelles the allies have
succeeded in bringing troops on both
sides of the straits, inaugurating the
combined land and sea attempt at the
conquest of Constantinople.
A British correspondent In Northern
France telegraphs that the German
effort to turn the British left flank
near Ypres has failed and that the
Germans have been checked definitely,
although the Dattie still continues with
violence. French military authorities
are cautious of accepting the theory
that the plan of the Germans is to
break through to the English Channel,
but they regard it as patent that such
a huge concentration of troops on a
limited front means that the present
drive is preparatory to some more i'm
portant undertaking. An official Bel
gian statement indicates that the Ger
man attack is lessening in force. 1t is
said the artillery fire against the Bel
gian front has largely died away.
Both Sides Make Claims
Russian and Austrian official state
ments indicate that fighting in the
Carpathians is becoming more intense.
Each side claims to have defeated the
attacks of the other, but it is apparent
that gradually the activity is spread
ing along greater sections of the bat
tie line. Military observers at Petro-
grad say that more decisive operations
than have occurred hitherto are ex-
pected shortly.
The situation at the Dardanelles re-
mains obscure, although it is appar-
ent that the French and British have

KILLING AND BURNING
Several Struck by Lightning;
Houses and Barns Destroyed;
Crops Damaged
TORNADO HITS SUNBURY
Big Bridge Blown Down Stream;
Heavy Downpour Halts
Forest Fires
TORNADO HITS SUNBURY

Accompanied by high winds, which
at times attained velocity of nearly
one hundred miles an hour. a rain,
hail, thunder and lightning storm
swept over Pennsylvania late yester-
day afternoon. killing several persons,
burning houses and barns, Gripping
telephone and telegraph lines, uproot-
ing trees, damaging crops and demor-
alizing traffic in general.
During the height of the storm a
bolt of lightning struck the barn OF
George Sheetz, near Enterline, Powls
Valley and burned it to the ground.
A large quantity of feed and farm
implements were destroyed. The
farmer with the help of neighbors,
succeeded in leading a number of
horses and cows to safety.
So severe was the shock from bolt
of lightning which struck the stable
of Grant B. Weaver, Mechanicsburg,
that a horse was knocked from its
feet and injured. The bolt struck at
the corner OF the stable where num-
ber of telephone wires were fastened
and neatly severed them. Flames
by the rain.
Gale Blows Bridge Away
In the upper end of this county and
in Northumberland county the storm
assumed the proportions of a gale.
Thousands of dollars worth of dam
age was caused to fruit growers. A
bridge, 200 feet long, at Sunbury was
picked up and dropped farther down
the stream, a mass of twisted iron.
Five freight cars, standing on a siding
were blown along the tracks for two
hundred yards when they were
wrecked by piling into another string
of cars.
IT..
capped death during the height of the
storm when they were caught in q
'whirley-gig" and dashed round and
round in front of the courthouse at
Sunbury. Conrad G.. Graeber, deputy
N1reasurer, ran out and carried them
y1nside. Just as he removed them from
the spot a 2O0-pound ball fell from
the belfry of the building and smash
ed into hundreds of pieces on the
pavement. A big wave was picked up
in the Susquehanna river and dashed
shoreward. Boats, canoes and boat
houses were demolished. James Nc
Kee, Harry Hess and David Bell were
thrown in the waters when their boat
overturned They were rescued by
the crew of a coal barge. Walls and
foundations OF several dwellings were
weakened and hundreds of window
panes broken in the town.
Hail Storm at Dillsburg
Ripping cabbage and other small
plants to pieces, a hail storm swept
over the country adjacent to Dillsburg
Trees were stripped of leaves and the
ground was covered with hail stones.
Lightning played queer pranks in
the home of Albert West. at Richland
near Lebanon. A bolt tore up the par
lor carpet. tossed the furniture in a
p heap and then passed out through the
floor at identically the same spot where
a bolt passed twelve years ago. Mrs
Weist who was alone in the house
was knocked unconscious.
The barn on the farm of Edward
Fake. north of Jamestown. was struck
by lightning and with its contents
burned to the ground. Nine head o1
cattle were killed and a new automo.
bile destroyed. A hayshed on the farm

DEMAND FOR MUNITIONS

London, April 2S. - Addressing q
meeting at Manchester last night, Lord
Derby said he had Lord Kitcheners
authority to quote him as saying that
the demand for munitions was unlim-
tied. 1t was not confined to shells, but
also included small ammunition, and
the more Lord Kitchener obtained the
more men he would be able to put into
the field.

cases, but does not claim that in every

NOTED ARCHITECT
SUGGESTS PLANS FOR
PARK EXTENSION
Warren H. Manning, at Re-
quest of the Telegraph,
Outlines Capitol Improve
ment

At the request of the Telegraph,
Warren H. Manning, the famous land
scape architect, of Boston, Mass, who
designed the Harrisburg park system,
has submitted a sketch suggestive of
what he thinks is proper treatment
for the Capitol park extension zone.
Mr.. Manning has planned the sur
roundings of quite a number of State
Capitols He is familiar with every one
in the United States and he accom-
panies his suggestion for Harrisburg
with pictures showing the general
scheme of development followed else
where. By comparison it will be seen
that the opportunity is afforded to give
Harrisburg not only the handsomest
Capitol, but the most beautiful setting
in the United States, not excepting
even the national Capitol at Washing
ton.

In explanation OF mis- plans Mr.. Man
ming addresses to the Telegraph the
following letter:
Il am sending you photographs
from drawings that have had made
of various State Capitols, showing their
surroundings as compared with the
surroundings of the Pennsylvania,

lie forum amphitheater and plaza that
will take care of a large number of
