AGRICULTURAL Teachinqa

President C. L. Beach in q speech
before the supervisors presented a
very clear and Interesting account of
the agricultural situation In the state
and in the nation. The speech showed
convincingly that there Is need Of ag-
ricultural training In the schools.
President Beachf contrasted the con-
ditfons existing In the state today with
the conditions OF so years ago. He
spoke of the modern city with its lefty
buildings and busy enterprises, the
telephone, the automobile, electric
cars and eother electric appliances
which, aretin every day use. Then he
claimed land IN the state does not
compare favorably with the number
of acress withdrawn from cultivation.
In this connection he spoke Of Mall
thus theory which was propounded
100 years ago which states that the
than the food production and eventu-
ally the afood supply will not begin
to meet the demands of the human
race Mr. Beach added that we could
not accept the Nautilus theory but 1t
is a fact that the population Of our
state is increasing rapidly and we
should be better prepared to meet the
that by birth and immigration the an
nuak increase in population during the
last 80 years has been from two to
seven per cent The population of
Connecticut should double in 80 years,
said Mr.. Beach. Stattsticians tell US
thatS the production per acre Is less
than it was We import more than
we export
Industry IN Connecticut is suffer
ing because agriculture has not kept
pace. If we develop agriculture it
will benefit all classes. The rural Sec
tions should be made more attractive
Modern conditions are making it SO.
People born in cities are turning their
attention to the country. Fifty per
cent. of the students attending the
Connecticut Agricultural college have
non-agricultura1 parents. The ques-
ton Of keeping the people in the coun-
try Is not so much of financial re-
turns as It Is OF having good schools
and attractive conditions
The Connecticut Agricultural college
is training men for leadership in agri-
culture. It cannot train all the farm
ers In the state. There are $4,000
farms That means that $4,000 farm
ers aresneeded. Only one in fifty will
be trained at the agricultural college.
That means that the public schools
of the state must train the other 40.

tenn Prevails.

Des Moines, Ia, July 12.-Gossip
will receive a stunning blow when
the Northwestern Electric company
gets in operation in Iowa.
The company which includes a
number of Des Moines men has an
Office on the seventh floor of the
Observatory building where it has
on exhibition working models OF a
new telephone invention that makes
a private line of party system.
On many rural systems there are
several families on the same line.
When the telephone bell rings every
one on the line makes a jump for the
receiver. 1t isn't so much that they
want to listen but they are anxious
to get their moneys worth out of the
phone AS a result everyone on the
line knows what kind of pie every
body else in the community had for
dinner and where the apples came

son wants to telephone a tid-bit of
gossip to his neighbor he has to
telephone to the whole community
All this is stopped with the new
tangled device which the Northwest
ern Electric company is going to
introduce.
When a person calls central and
asks for Tom Jones central rings
only Mr.. Jones. AS soon as he pulls
down the receiver central pushes
button which switches off all the
other phones on the line and they
can neither hear nor break into the
line and take a hand in the CONVEX
sation. 1t is immaterial whether
there are two persons on the line or
forty. The effect is the same. Cen
trail cannot be called until the par
ties on the wire are through.

DEBORAH Lost to Waucoma.

The DEBORAH base ball team went
to Waucoma Sunday, and lost to
Waucoma by score 7 to s. Harris,
the Rock Island brakeman, was in
the box for DEBORAH, but he whistled
for brakes in the second inning. No
body could ride with him and every
body walked. He walked five, and
then a hit, coupled with an error,
those ''pesky' little things which
work into ball game now and then
and the result was that Waucoma
scored four times. Then Bernatz
took the slab and pitched good ball.
DEBORAH tied up the score, and up to
the ninth it stood Z to Z, and Wau-
coma slipped in the winning run.
Those who witnessed it from here
state that it was a good game, even
though DEBORAH did lose.
Next Sunday Waucoma is booked
for a game at DEBORAH.

Mason City, la. July 12.-Miss
Belle West has a novel way of trav-
cling. She was a rider in a small
circus that was touring the western
part of the state, and gave fancy ex-
hibitions of bareback riding. The
show collapsed and left the young
lady without funds at Osceola. She
is OF romantic nature and she lit up
on the novel scheme of riding to Min
neapolis on horseback. The first
farmer she called upon accommo-
dated her with a horse to ride five

Potato Baking Made Easy.

A device for baking potatoes is
long tin frame with six little tin
spikes on it. A potato washed and
ready to bake, is fastened on each
spike and the frame is set in the
oven. The potatoes can be easily
handled in this way, and, moreover,
they are evenly and we'll baked.
When the contrivance is used there
is no danger of charred and broken
skins on the side next to the oven.

AutOed to Chicago.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. McCallum ar
rived home Sunday night from an
automobile trip to Chicago, where
they went a week ago last Friday
making the out trip via McGregor
and Dubuque. They came home via
the Lincoln highway, through Cedar
Rapids and independence. They left
Chicago Saturday arriving at Gin
ton, Iowa, Saturday night where they
remained all night, driving to De-
corah Sunday, a distance of 220
miles. They left Clinton at s a. m.
arriving home at nine p. m. Fifty
miles OF the trip was made through
good deep mud, but Mac said he
didn't mind that, as the Iowa corn
was growing to beat the band along
the way, and had Illinois corn back
ed off the boards. 1t was ever thus.
In all that is good, Iowa affords the
best. ~ 1-H q TfH1

am so tanned that l know | will not

"Oh, l can fix that in three or four
days" replied Ruth, Just let me
tell you how. You take fresh let
tuce leaves and scald them with a
very little water, and let them
stand for a few minutes. Then pour
the water off and pound the lettuce
to a paste in a wood or earthen
bowl, then strain through cheesecloth
and you will have lettuce juice. Ap-
ply this to the face twice day
and let it stay until it dries in, and
it will remove all traces of tan in a
few days. If you will apply it to
your face before going out in the
wind or sun, under cover of tai
cum powder, it will prevent tan and
rough skim
"Oh thank you Ruth" answered
Millicent, just before she hung up
you are certainly my friend OF
friends"

Buick Truck Some Car.

Gus Haugen, the East Water
street Buick dealer has been giving
some great service with his fine
Buick passenger truck this year,
taking large parties to different
towns. Sunday he took the Decor,
ah ball team to Waucoma, a dis
lance of % miles. There were twelve
men in the truck and the 20 miles
were made in something like an
hour, which is going some. 1t is an
excellent riding machine, possesses
of all kinds of power, and has the
famous Buick guarantee back of it.

Gus struck a fine day, the weather
was ideal and 4 large crowd of peo-
pie came to town to witness the per-
Torrance. The afternoon audience
packed the tent and the evening au-
dience nearly so. The trained hors-
es and dogs were the best ever seen
here, and the aerial acts were fine,
Best of all the circus management
were gentlemen in every sense OF the
word. There were no fakirs or short
change artists with The show. The
visitor got his moneys worth, and his
right change returned. We observed
several who purchased tickets and
started off without their change, but
was reminded of the fact by the tic
ket seller, With such treatment and
the excellent performance giver
Hugo Bros. will be welcomed back t
DEBORAH in the future.

 Even though children arc compelled ing chores and little jobs, if they are allowed to spend freely with no re- straint, it were better they did not work, for the good results of their industry are negatiyed by the bad results of their spending. To earn simply to spend is not so wholesome a proposition by far as to earn to acquire.
 Numerous plans and schemes have been devised to teach children thrift, such as the penny banks. school sav- ings banks, stamp saving systems, and the like, but if it is easy to spend after the money is once saved, the whole process is defective.

 In these, days when the term "old maid" is regarded largely as a Humorous memory and the bachelor girl is very mnch in evidence and very much to be reckoned with, 1t seems almost inconcevable that the hunger for affection CT the pride which rebelled against others know ing of the lack of admiration, and their possible pity or contemp', should lead to such extreme meas ures. Strange, indeed, is the heart of a woman. The ages-old instinct for admiration still is strong, however much we may iTagine modern life crushed it.. The pride which suffers silently so long it seems never to have been takes weird and violent form now and then when once it does burst forth. However much we may be intolerant of 1t, there remains, om- nipresent and inevitable, the ques- tion: What will the 'neighbors say? The eternal feminine is an everlast- ing mystery.
