are being investigated, while others

chemist, reports he found the poison
in the farmers hair and fingernails.
- Blotner was taken violently i'll Me-
mortal day. DR.. Hillsman diagnosed
his aiIment as arsenical poisoning.
The young farmer was taken to Buff
faIo for treatment. Since his return
he has been questioned closely by
county officials on the theory that an
attempt was made on his life.
In Little Valley the BlOtner case
is discussed in whispers. Everybody
has different theory.
The finger of suspicion has been
pointed at three different persons,
but county officials admit they have
not enough evidence to secure an in
dictment.
Names that figured prominently
in the Button case are heard on the
lips of villagers.
Some go so far as to say the al
legged attempt on Blotner's life was
part of a gigantic plot to open the
doors of Auburn prison for Cynthia
Button.
1t is argued that if a successor to
the Buttons on the poison farm
were stricken with arsenic, it would
tend to prove the farm contained the
poison in some form that finds it's

that Mrs. Button is innocent of muir

RICE SOUTHERN STYLE

When rice is prepared in southern
fashion, all the grains are kept sep
arate. Slowly add a cup of thor
oughly washed rice to a quart of boil
ing water, which contains two level
teaspoons of salt. The boiling should
continue all the time the rice is cook
ing. Stirring is not permitted, as
this will break the rice grains. About
20 minutes is sufficient to cook the
rice. Pour off all the water from the
rice, cover with cloth and place in
a warm part of the stove, so that the
grains will swell. To remove the
starchy material from the outside of
the grains, cooks sometimes turn the
cooked rice into a strainer and pour
one quart of hot water over it before
covering with a cloth and allowing
to steam and swell. A cup of raw rice
cooked in this way will give over four
cups of very white and light boiled
rice.
The water drained off from the
rice can be used in soap making to
save the starch and mineral matter
which it contains.

land can be seeded with pasture grass and clover A better stand will be obtained if lime or lime and fertilizer are applied in addition to the seed.
 A second method is to spray the fern growth with salt and water dis tributed with a hand bucket or knapsack sprayer When the field is so located that water for spraying is not easily accessible the cutting S probably easier. With ferns of an average degree of thickness, a man with a knapsack spayer ought to cover about acres a day. The salt is used at the rate of 1 pound to about 1 1-2 quarts of water, and 150 pounds of salt ought to be enough to spray the average acre infested with ferns which seldom cover more than one- third of the ground. If 5 acres are covered per day with labor at $15O the total cost of spraying is about $1.05 per acre for each application, exclusive of the cost of hauling
 Two sprayings a year, just previous to sporing, about the middle of June and the middle of August are necessary. Burn over as soon as they have dried up. AS the use of the salt spray is something of a de- 5 IT., efforts to encourage clover to work into the patches and help choke them down should be deferred until after the August spraying.
 After the ferns have been reduced to a minimum, the specific treatments may be discontinued at least until they again become troublesome. It Is probably not practicable to entirely eradicate ferns The immediate re- duction of the number of ferns, how ever, will give the grass and clover opportunity to work in. and this in itself will tend to hold the ferns in check. Cultivation, on the other hand, where tried seems not to be effective, as the ferns work in again sooner or later even where the patch is used for potato growing for a year.
 The actual experiments were made with the hay-scented fern, but the results are believed to be fully as effective in the treatment of the brake in the Eastern States.

COMMUNITY SONGS
 BETTER THAN WAR
Music Still Hath Charms" As
 SertS Grover Cleveland Forum

Five community center songs es-
 pecially designed for schoolhouse
 community forums, have been l brought together for the use of the ] Grover Cleveland Forum of Washing l ton, D. C., of which Miss Margaret l Wilson is honorary president, and | copies may be obtained from the ] Commissioner of Education, Depart
 ment of the Interior. Washington. D. c. Two of the songs are entirely
 new, having just made their bow to l the public at the Grover Cleveland l forum One is called Its a Short
 Way to the Schoolhouse," and is sung l to the air of Tipperary;J the other, en- titled "Neighborhood,' is sung to the 1 air of Die Wacht Am Rhein. The others are :"The Fellowship of l Folks"-a song of Neighborhood sung to the air of Drink to Me Only With l Thine Eyes, or" "Auld Lang Syne"; l Heart and Hand"; and 'This Good Common Ground.'
 These songs all emphasize the sig
 nificance of the schoolhouse as he
 common meeting place. Tn the words
 of one of them: We'll strike that
 fine old chord again--A song of
 Neighborhood.'
 All five songs were written by E.
 J. Ward, specialist in Community Or
 ganization of the Bureau of Educa- tion. They are so unusually we'll adapted to the communal singing that has become so popular a feature of the neighborhood meetings in the schoolhouse. It was with regard to this communal singing that pr. Sam uel McChord Brothers, at a general neighborhood gathering in a school house community center said
 You have found a substitute for war. The military fellows say it takes a war to make people really feel together-to know common interest, to own a common country
 Y And how do they prove it?
 They tell us that from '61 to '65 we were a singing nation; and that's true. Those were the days we learn ed 'Tenting Tonight Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory Maryland, My Mary land,' Tramp, Tramp, Tramp When Johnnie Comes Marching Home We learned them then and we sang them then. Since then we've just been warming over the words. I was a boy in those days. I heard it, and I never expected to hear that note again. ....
 But I have heard it again. I have heard it here tonight. You sang in that spirit.
 What does it mean?
 Tt means that down underneath you have been gripped by that same .hrobbing common reality-not limi- ted by any fear or hate this time You know a common interest. You own a common country. You've proved it for you've sung in that spirit.'

STARS OF COLLEGE
 WORLD ARE READY
New Records Looked for in Inter- CollegiateS Today and Tomorrow

Boston, May 26.-The pick of the country's college athletes are quar- tered here ready for the beginning of the annual championship games of the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. in the liar yard Stadium this afternoon. Trials in the field events and preliminary heats of the track contests will be held then to cut down the immense fields to reasonable size for the finals Saturday.
 Cornell is regarded on all hands as certain to continue it's domination of the field. Some few Yale partisans are enthusiastic enough to think their team has chance for the point tro- phy, but they are exceedingly few. The majority of those who have kept in touch with the various dual meet re- suits expect Cornell to lead the run ner up by at least fifteen points and perhaps thirty. The Ithacans have strength in every event on the pro- gramme, are expected to score in at least ten of them and to win perhaps as many as six.
 Next to Cornell and Yale there seems to be almost even fight among Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and Stanford, with Michigan, Dart mouth, Princeton and Maine forming another we'll matched division. Each of these has from three to six men who have good chances to land points.
 Optimists see possibilities of new worlds records in five events-uuarter and half mile runs, low hurdles, broad jump and pole vault. It is almost a foregone conclusion that half a dozen intercollegiate marks will be bettered, with the winners in all the other events just behind the present best on record.
 Smith of Michigan, the present 100 and 220 yard champion, will face two men who have done better time than he has shown this year. Smith s best is 10 seconds for the hundred, as against 4-5 by Teschner of Har- loom formidably also in the furlong, with Moore of Princeton, Murray of Stanford and Treadway of Vale also pressing Smith closely.
 Ted Meredith of Pennsylvania, who set new worlds record for the half mile two weeks ago, will attempt to repeat his double victory of last year in the quarter and half. If in his best condition he may smash the rec ord for either He will get sterner opposition this year than before.
 Lynn of Stanford, Wilcox of liar ward and Riley of Dartmouth all have broken 50 seconds in the 440. Wind n c1 Ia nf oil 11rl,o

dith to his worlds record in the dual meet with Penn, is entered for both the half and mile. Schnen of Stan ford, Bingham of Harvard, Holl)rook of Dartmouth and Ufer of Michigan are good for 1:55 in the hail. Any one of them may spring a surprise.
 In the mile Windnagle will en- counter another man trying . double trick in the person of Johnny Over ton, the Yale f1ier. =" Overton also is out for the two miles, Wilson of Stanford, with a record of 4:19, looks dangerous in the mile. Colwen of Princeton, Bell of Maine and Camp bell of Harvard are others who have beaten 4:30. In the two miles Over ton will find his chief opposition in Potter and Hoffmire of Cornell, with nip and tuck battle in sight.
 Fred Murray, captain of the Stan ford team, is the star of all the Cal ifornians entered. The 12O yard i1ur dle race seems gift to him, but Watt of Cornell Farwell of Yale, Trenholm of Dartmouth and Kaufman of Penn will pursue him hot1y in the 22o yard event.
 Alma Richards, national all around champion, promises to be the star of the field events. In the high Jump he will renew his duel with Wesley Oler of Yale, Allen of Maine Spears of Dartmouth and Caughey of Stan ford are his principal rivals in the shotput In the broad jump he will meet Oler again, but neither seems to have a show of beating Worthing ton of Dartmouth, who has exceeded 24 feet and is likely to smash the worlds record
 Four pole vaulters who have cleared 12 feet inches will meet in the per sons of Toss of Cornell Buck of Yale, Haydock of Harvard and Newsletter of Penn, McCorm1rk of Cornell, with a record of 150 feet, seems to have the hammer throw at his mercy if he can repeat that hurl.

HAYSCENTED FERN IS
 MENACE TO GRAZING
Department Of Agriculture Gives Methods Of Eliminating Pests

Washington, D. C., May 26-The presence of the hayscented fern and the brake fern in pastures in the Eastern United States is serious detriment to the grazing of live stock, which is prominent feature in farm ing in this section. The Department of Agriculture, in Farmers Bulletin No. 687, recommends the following means of reducing these pasture wasting pests:
 Cut the fern with a scythe in the middle Of June just as the spores are beginning to nature and repeat the cutting about the middle of August before the second crop of spores have a chance to spread. As soon as the cut ferns are dry, burn them over to lessen the vitality of the root stocks.

EXAMINING HEADS. -

reply to Morris Tinsky, whose letter
in defense of Abe Holman was pub
ished in The Forum on Sept. 2. The
fault with men like Tinsky and Holz-
man is this: Having had a bad envi-
rOnment in their childhood, it is only
natural that when they grow up they
have a very poor conception of
things in general.
Morris Tinsky say that "any man
who tips his hat ought to have his
head examined" l doubt that there
is a reader of The Day Book-ex-

the children are returning to school
we shall hear much of tonsils and
adenOids and the need of operation
for their removal.
A few years ago the removal Of
tOnsils and adenoids was popular and
one doctor boasts of having 1000
pairs of tOnsils in bottles in his Office.
But the late DR.. J. B. Murphy, in a
monograph published shortly before
his death, said that he had observed
that about two years after a person
had the tOnsils and adenoids remOv-
ed there would be a case of appendi-
citis. Now, in addition to those OBJ
seTvations, it is well known in the
homeopathic profession that in those
cases, about two years after the ap-
pendix is removed, pulmonary tuber-
culosis sets in. The lungs cannot be
cut out, therefore there is nothing
more to do for that patient, from
the old point of view. His next stage
is death.
But there is a better way! En-
larged tonsils and adenOids are ma
lures danger signal, saying that this
child is raw. material for tuberculosis
unless properly treated. That poison
cannot be cut out of the blood with a
knife, but it can be removed by prop
er medical treatment. If the child at
this time is given proper medical, not
surgical treatment, this tendency to
tuberculosis can be entirely eradi-
Gated Then appendicitis will be
avoided, consumption will not arrive
and a useful life will be saved. Do
not have operation on tonsils or ade-
noids.
A further danger is illustrated by
the fact that in Chicago within the
last year boy and a girl each died
from the chlorofOrm before the OPP
Grafton was begun, and another child
died an hour after operation from
embOlism to the brain. These are ac5
