The United States is the worlds
dumping ground for all bad seed,
adulterated seed, and misbranded
seed. The Extension Division of the
University of Florida calls attention
to the most recent case in which the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture warns farmers against import
ed "turnip rape" which is not rape.
Cases like this are common. A good
Federal pure seed law would not only
restrict such importations but it could
be made to prevent traffic in impure
and misbranded seeds from one state
to another. What are you going to
do about it, Mr.. Farmer?

If there should be a break in the
ground wire how would the motor act
and how could | find the trouble?
What will happen when a ground
wire breaks depends Oh the FUNCTION Of
the wire. If it carries current when
the ignition system is in operation then
its breakage will result in the motor
coming to stop. but If the wire Is
used to short circuit the magnetic in Or
der to stop the motor then its breakage
will not affect the running of the en-
CINE. When the switch is brought to
the off position the motor will not stop,
and therefore some other means will
have to be employed to bring the motor
to rest.
As a rule when this occurs the trou-
BILE is easily located. The broken wire
is indicated by the stoppage of the mo.
tor or its continued operation after the
switch has been opened, as the case
may be. The broken wire should be
easily found by inspection unless. as
sometimes happens, the breakage &C.

Grammar school scholars yesterday evening received their November re- port cards from their teachers, and there were many happy faces because of the showings made for efficiency. One fifth grade scholar (perhops a fair average) earned "E' in neatness, reading, spelling, English, geography, and music; ''G" in drawing, writing, application and department; and 'F'' in arithmetic, and was neither absent nor tardy.

scholastic institution. The problem is only one of poplarization. The exper- mental work has been done We know where the best seed is. Here k call for the cooperative leadership O. the government in work of supreme value to the state The man to direct this work should be one whose word the nation would heed That such a han can be secured there is no doubt, for experience justifies the statement that there are no men of large capac- ity whose services the country can not command at a material sacrifice.
 If asked how this work could be done should say that it could best be done by showing to the picked teach CTS of the country the model schools. The quickest and surest way to set this country aflame with zeal for a better type of country school would be to show the teachers such schools, make them live in them, and learn from them by seeing them in action.
 There is no such lesson as the one that is taught by experience. Lee lures, moving pictures, and books may aid. But to see and be a part of a movement of life is to make it ones own. If ten men and women were ta- ken from each state to some one of the two or three most modern rural schools and there for Q month were initiated into the art of teaching o.lt of life, by doing things and not read ing about things being done, and if each of these ten went home mis- sionary for the new idea, how long would it before the states were con verted and the old methods abandon ed, And once the right kind of school were started in any state how long would it take others to follow2 This thing can be done and by methods that are so simple and direct that they will be startling. The need is inIme- diate, and surely it would be a shame to let a generation waste itself while the idea slowly creeps on all fours through a country that has invented wireless telephony.
 In this work the newspapers of the country could, and I feel assured  would, give invaluable assistance. Net merely by the publicity given to the movement, but more definitely by helping in the selection of the candi- dates for this opportunity, in sending them to these selected schools, and carrying on the campaign for putting what they have found into reality.

FORD AND HARRIS WILL
 AID ALLEGED BURGLARS
(By B. F. Fly)

A near-sensation was sprung In Judge Baxter's court this morning, when the three burglars, John and Harry Leake and Walter Snapp, were called upon to plead to the charge upon which they were bound over yes terday by Justice Jones. It had been generally understood that the burglars would at once enter a plea of guilty, and thus end the matter. But such was not the case.
 Attorneys Harris and Ford appeared as attorneys for the three men and, upon representing to the court that they had not had time to make a proper defense, asked that the case go over in order that they might have time to file demurrer to the con- plaint.
 Up to that time, it was not even known that the two attorneys were to appear for the defendants. They had called at the jail very late last even ing and asked for a conference with the alleged burglars, it appearing that they had volunteered to serve them, as no message had been sent them from the jail. The case was thereupon continued until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
 Hot rvnrdC OhOripf Greenleaf and the two attorneys when all of them reached the corridor near the sheriff's office, the sheriff accus- ing Attorney Ford of misrepresenting the facts when he said he had made an effort yesterday to see the prison CTS, but was denied the privilege, the sheriff accusing the young attorney of ''butting in," just to put the county to the expense of vigorous prosecu- tion. This led to hot words between the sheriff and Attorney Harris, an for moment it looked very much liz there would be a rough and tumble fight. Matters finally cooled down, and the two attorneys left for their offices to prepare the necessary papers to delay the final trial.
 It develops that, according to Walter Snapp's own story, he is a deserter from the U. s. army at Douglas. It seems, according to his story, that he and several other men employed a man to take them in a machine from Nogales to Tucson. Just before reach ing the latter place the gasoline gave out. The driver and three other men started to walk to Tucson for the nec- essary juice, leaving Snap to look after the car. After waiting quite a while another machine came along and MT Snapp obtained gasoline to run the car into the objective point Here, he declared, he spent several days in trying to locate his erstwhile con- panions, but without success.
 It was at this juncture that he as sumed ownership of the car and at once started for the Pacific coast. Upon reaching Yuma the car needed repair. He put it in the Harris garage, and it was from that point that it was used to make the escape of himself and the two Leake boys after the al legged commission of one of the most dastardly crimes that has ever been committed in Yuma.

no real connection with the possession
Of wisdom. They take their name from
the time Of their arrival, from twenty

average person is supposed to have
reached years OF discretion. Cutting
ones wisdom teeth means simply ar
riving at the point OF completeness in
physical equipment and has no direct
relation to mental equipment. The pos
session Of these teeth is no guarantee
of wisdom. They grow at about the
same age in people whether they are
wise or not.

BARRIE'S LITTLE JOKE.

There Is only one recorded instance
Of Sir j. NJ. Barrie's acting as chair
man Of a public meeting. In the Cen
tury Magazine Mr.. John ID. Williams
told the story to the American public.
1t was on the occasion Of Burns cele-
bration.
Barrie took the chair as presiding of
ficer and then kept to it firmly.
Throughout the entire proceedings he
did not utter single word, but re-
mained as If glued to the horribly con
spicuous chair, loathing his predica-
ment, but iuwardly amused ut the ex-
pressions OIL the faces Of all about him,
which made dismally clear the fact
that he was a failure as a presiding Of
icer.
finished Barrie took advantage Of Il
talkative group In front of him and
quietly stole away before any one had
A chance to miss him. But the next
week well known Saturday review
printed a satirical article called "SIr.
Barrie In the Chair" The thing was
simply whitening in its ironical account
of the dumb presiding officer who
eventually fled, leaving meeting to
preside over itself. The greatest re-
gret was naturally expressed by those
who had persuaded Barrie to come to
the Burns celebration. and among his
friends tremendous indignation was
felt and vented. But some day they
will know, IL they have not already
found out, that the article was written
by Barrie himself!

One rule Of the original Olympic
games could not be followed nowadays
without provoking serious troubles.
Women were not allowed to be present
or even to be anywhere in the district
when the games were being celebrated
OH pain Of being hurled from precipi-
tous rock. This rule Is believed to
have been defied only once, when the
offender was pardOned in consideration
OF the fact that her father, brothers
and son had been victors in the games,
One particular priestess, however, was
not only exempt from this law, but
was accommodated with n special front
seat on an altar OF white marble, and
women were allowed to enter chariots
for the races. though they might not
be present to see them win.
