the young people OF the farm a real,
live course I'm agriculture. After two
years the experiment has been found
80 successful that other school boards
In Missouri and neighboring states
are considering adopting the same
plan.
Two years ago the Trenton school
board entered into an agreement with
the Trenton Commercial club to hire
a competent agricultural expert TO
take charge OF the farm courses offer
cd In the high school. The expert
gives his Saturdays and evenings 10

During the first year following the
change the enrolment grew to sixty,
and a year ago II had reached eighty
seven. This year the 100 mark will
be reached by the end of the first
semester.
Practically all the young people
come from the farms OF the county.
The results has been the establish
ment OF a better spirit Of relationship
between residents OF the town and
country. The Trenton Idea" is a plan
Tor the removal of the imaginary boun-
Diary lines that separate town and

THIEF ESCAPES BY BALLOON
Not Quite Up to Date, as II Was Not
q DlrlgIble, but II Served
Purpose.

Hot-footing 1t some distance in ad
vance of the town marshal his pursu
er, pickpocket made strenuous lear
into the basket of balloon near
Sayre, Okla, just as the air craft was
leaving the ground, and sailed away
to safety.
The balloon had been filled with
gas and the aeronaut, George Harvey
was In the basket ready to start when
the marshal discovered the pickpocket
taking a wallet from a pocket OF q
citizen whose attention was conferred
on the balloon.
The marshal attempted to catch the
thief and the pursued man ran and
leaped into the basket as II cleared
the earth. He refused to heed the
marshars warning cry Of stop theft"
AT the height Of several hundred
feet the thief drew a revolver and
warned Harvey not to release the rip
cord on his balloon until he was or
dered to do so.
After the pair had travelled so miles
the unwelcome passenger gave the
word and the balloon was lowered.
Ten feet from the ground the thief
leaped from the basket and ran. Re-
lieved of part of its burden, the bal
loon again shot upward
When Harvey finally effected land
ing, several hundreds yards from
where the thief had alighted, he had
disappeared.-New York World.
