Hampton. Nov. LIT is stated that
one of the principal reasons for the
defeat of the consolidated school prop
osition in West Fork township, which
was voted on there few weeks ago,
was the fact that there is no town in
the township, and, had the question
carried the building would of neces-
sity been located in the country about
Ave miles distant from any town.
...a,cshe- reason ASSIGNED is that the
proposition of monster drainage pro-
ject is being talked in that vicinity,
and 1t was thought that the taxes
would thereby be pretty high. If the
drainage project becomes a reality. it
will rank among the largest in the
state. and will probably extend thru
three counties and possibly four.

AS We GROW OLDER

our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we need it most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stifened joints
beset us, and We cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion to renew the blood
andcarry strength to every organ ofthe
body, while its glycerine soothes there's
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientific OIL
food, Of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years-particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol OF harmful drugs.

HAULING TEST OVER
HARD. SURFACED ROAD
SHOWS BIG SAVING

Ames, Nov. l2.-Here is a little
problem in road arithmetics. The road
from Ames to Nevada has been inn
proved with reasonably hard sur
face. Before Improvement it required
log pounds, average draft, to pull q
load of one ton.
After Improvement it required an
average draft Of seventy-five pounds
to pull the same load-in the same
wagon. These figures are from the
United States department Of public
roads, which made dynamometer
test of that particular road.
The savings in necessary pulling
power therefore was 36 per cent, when
the farmer used the harder surfaced
road. Now the problem:
Ii the largest load 9 farmer conld
haul over that road was fifty bushels
before it was improved, how much
more can he haul now, with the same
team and wagon?
If it cost him 80 cents per load per
mile to haul over the old road. how
much does he save nowadays. for the
same size load?
The answers are both easy and in
teresting. The farmer who used to
haul fifty bushels over the old road,

jar dormant brain cells into activity.
Mr. Kelley entertained his audience
by quoting many ''brickbats" heaved
in his direction at various times, then
concluded that the satisfaction the
newspaper man gets from knowing he
has in some way served humanity OFF,
sets all the troubles.
The newspaper of today occupies the
position of the herald of old" he
ended The eye has been enthroned
and the whole world is our field. In
olden times the mightieSt voices
reached thousands but fell silent with

lance and seek our myriads behind
brick walls. We talk 10 those who
never see us. The thunder of our
presses dies away, but il has bred

Importance Of Country Paper.

agricultural journalism at Ames, told
the newspaper men.
IN the v, peGhIuaii
said. lit Is time for all OF US 10 declare
that we are OF the country and proud
OF il. Perhaps there was a day. when
agriculture was poor. when the farmer
was meanly ridiculed on every hand.
and when rural life was considered
hopeless, when there might have been
selfish advantage for the country ed:-

but that time has gone by.
Our newspapers are on the whole
no, dealing with the field OF rural news
in way that measures up either 10
opportunity or duty. The newspaper
is made more for the town folks than
for the country folks.
There are great opportunities for
news, business and service for the
newspaper that will deal in the right
way with the country field.
Agriculture has a fight ahead-a
tremendous fight and a fight that must
end right or humanity must suffer ter
rioly. To that fight your country news

superintendent Says That He Regards
Present Investigation Unnecessary.

! Annapolis, Md, June 16.-Rear Ad-
miral William F. Fullam, superin-
tendent of the naval academy, de-
clared today that he had such con-
fldence in the judgment Of the three
officers composing the board which
convicted seven midshipment guilty of
advance knowledge Of an examination
that he personally did not think any
further inquiry was necessary.
This statement was made before the
court of inquiry appointed by Sec
retary Daniels to make further inves-
tigation of irregularities in examina-
tion papers. The superintendent, whose
recommendation for the dismissal of
the midshipmen was based on the
finding of the first board, made it
plain, however, that he intended no
criticism of the navy department
which had it's own reasons for reopen
ing the matter, he said.
AT the morning session Lieut.. l.. f..

Commander j. T. Tompkins had testi-
fed that expressions Of resentment and
regret had been general among Off
GERS at the academy were not
