Columbus, n. NJ, July 29.-Facili-
ties for hauling supplies to the Ameri-
can expedition in Mexico still were
being increased today. Fifty truck
drivers from Chicago and a trainload
of new motor trucks were unloaded
at the base camp here during the
night.
Captains of sixteen motor trains are
being withdrawn for duty in the quar-

placed by lieutenants from the Massa-

organizations.
Night Grows Cold.
Many motor trucks nave been
transferred from the transportation
service to the road repairing gangs.
Following heavy rains in this region,
the temperature dropped lower last
night than any time since March. Sol
diers sleeping on the ground scurried
for extra blankets. Dust storms ac-
ccmpanied the cold winds.

BOTH DODGE POLITICS
Capper and Lansdon Deliver Good
Old Agricultural Speeches.

Both Governor Capper and W. c.
Lansdon, candidate for the Demo-
cratic gubeInatorial nomination, stay
ed miles and miles away from poll
teal issues in their speeches at the
Americas picnic Lansdon, who spoke
first, lodged any mention of the poli-
ucal issues of the campaign and Gov
error Capper promptly followed suit.
Nearly 1000 men and women at
tended the annual Farmers Union
gathering in the little Lyon county
town. About 8 per cent of the people
in the crowd were candidates for Of
flee. The fact that two guuerna-
torial candidates of opposing parties
were to meet on the stump for the
first time this year, provided an excel
lent opportunity for a free and unre-
strained discussion of state and ma
tional affairs. But Lansdon side
stepped the opportunity to put the
Americas meeting in the headlines and
Governor Capper declined to talk pol
itics when Lansdon had avoided the
issue.
The Lansdon speech was largely a
plea for cooperation and organization
of the farmers. Governor Capper paid
tribute to the energy and thrift of the
Kansas farmer and the development
of the state through agricultural in
dustry- Each of the men spoke nearly
forty minutes. 1t was their first meet
ing on the platform in the present
campaign.
Following the Americas speech.
Governor Capper returned to Topeka
in his car, that he might attend his
own picnic.

AID RURAL SCHOOL
Educators Now Turning Atten-
ton to Country Work.
Plenty of Betterment Has Been
Made Within Cities.

In recent years, forward looking
educators have been devoting particu-
lar attention to the improvement or
the rural school, a survey of the edu-
cational system of the country having
shown that the rural school had been
allowed to stand still while the grade
school, the high school, and the voca-
tional school were adjusting them
selves to better serve the needs OF
their respective fields. This move
ment for the advancement of the rural
school is bearing fruit as may be noted
in the modern structures that are tax
ing the place of the little red or white
school house of a few years ago. 1T
promises to bear more fruit as the
teachers and the farming communities
become thoroughly alive to the i'm
portance of having schools that point
out to the pupils the possibilities of
farm development and give them a
training that will fit them for careers
on the farm as well as in the towns.
Miss M Edna Corbet, who is a cam
didate for the Republican nomination
for county superintendent of schools,
is a thorough believer in the country
school and it's possibilities in enlarged
usefulness. II believe in country
schools being adapted to the environ
ment of the farm said Miss Corbet,
in speaking of the Improvement of the
rural school. II believe that the coun-
try school should be an anchorage TO
the farm rather than a stepping stone
to the city, where in many cases the
opportunities for the boy and girl are
not to be compared with those of the
home community. We can have and
should have as good preparatory
schools in the country as in the city,
and believe that people are awaking
to this fact"
Miss Corbet's observation is not
mere theory but it is made after a
number of years of actual experience
as teacher both in city and country
schools. After completing the work
of the Kansas common schools, and
from the Topeka high school. she
further fitted herself for her profess
sion by special work at the Univer-
sity of Kansas and at the Kansas State
Normal Since then she has been en-
gagged almost continually in school
work. She has been q successful
teacher in the Shawnee county schools
and for the coming year, she has been
employed as principal of the Seabrook
school. In addition to her experience
as teacher, she served two highly
succesSful terms as county sllperin-

written for the State journal. }

New York, July 29.-The modern
woman, seemingly surfeited with trim
ming herself and incidentally trim
ming her husband has turned her at
tentiCn to trimming up the houSeholo
canary and the family goldfish.
AT least, if not the canary and the
gold fish personally, she had then
domiciles all dolled up.
Bird cages have become fantastic
dreams of beauty and decorative art
No self-respecting canary, Hnnet, or
thrush can be expected to trill in any
thing but a cage of rush or willow
from the peasant realms of Europe, or
wire and lacquer cage from China
permissible but birdie simply must
have one of these three decorative in
fluences for surroundings.
Mercy Just fancy how plebeian and
iDartistic nowadays would be that pro-
verbal bird in a gilded cage. Cages
are positively not being worn gilded
this season.
OF the lovely willow cages. some OF
which are fashioned by peasant hands
in the Black Forest and yet others in
Brittany and probably most over in
New Jersey or Brooklyn, there are
those in the natural toned willow,
those stained grass green and those
enameled white or pastel pink or blue.
Even these willow cages feel the
Chirese influence however. or at least
their owners do, for milady hangs a
Chinese jade bracelet to a short string
of jade beads suspended from the
middle of the cage for the songster to
sway on in lieu of a prosaic swing
From the bottom of the cage she fas-
tens with a thumbtack a Chinese tas-
sci green and gold.
The real Chinese cages are gorgeous
i IN their scarlet green or black lacquer,
ornate with gold. Round, oblong,
square and octagonal they are, and
some shaped like pagodas two or three
stories high. In the finest cages the
water and seed dishes are of carved
the outside and always there is the
bracelet swing.
AS for the little fishes, red and gold.
their crystal abodes are iridescent
bubbles of antique Venetian glass of
divers fantastic shapes. Some, high
huge goblet ehapes, others shallow
bowls poised on slender stems, two
handled Grecian urnS of rainbow tint
ed glass and one, the quaintest of all,
is a squat and sturdy crystal elephant.
Many of the round glass aquariums
are raised on standards of carved or
ensmeIed wood and hand painted in
water lilies and deep sea flora, on the
outside of the glass.
Yet others simple and effective of
line are the oblong and square aquar-
iums, crystal clear.
Feathery green water plants and
the decorative branches of Chinese
fairy forest for the fishes and most
artistic and modern note of all in lat
est fish fashions are the marbles of
green glass that Strew the golden
gravel floor in the bottom of every
aquarium that is a la mode.

HOW TO KILL CoCKRoACHEs
Professor Dean Gives Advice on Erad-
ication of Home Pest.

Manhattan, Kan. July 29.-The
roach-one of the worst pests of the
housewife-can be successfully con-
trolled. Here is the remedy given by
George A. Dean, professor of ento-
mology in the Kansas State Agricul-
tuaral college, and used not only in
homes but in many big flour mills in
Kansas:
Get a large pan or a deep jar. the
deeper the better, and place foul
damp dishrag in it. Set up sticks or
laths on an easy slant from the floor
to the pan or jar, so that there will
be no difficulty for the reaches to
get to the edge of the jar. The
reaches will run up these laths or
sticks and be attracted to the damp
dishrag within the jar, for they con-
gregate in such places.
Place this trap in the pantry or
kitchen, or wherever the reaches are
found, and leave it over night, as
reaches hide and are quiet during the
day and make their odious raids at
night. The first thing in the morning,
pour boiling water over the rag to kill
the reaches hiding in it, for they will
surely be there if they are in the
house.

DEFENDS EXECUTION
Germany Claims 1t Extends to Sea
Warfare, France Land Practice.

Berlin, July %, via London, July %.
The execution at Bruges on July 81
of Captain Chas. Fryatt of the British
steamship Brussels after trial by
court martial for attempting to ram
a German submarine, denotes a new
phase in the controversy over the sea
rights of merchantmen.
The German government prize reg
ulations issued before the beginning
of the war adopted the principle that
merchantmen were not entitled TO
commit acts of war and it threatened
to treat as pirates those attempting to
do so.
The execution of Captain Fryatt
German officials contend, is in accord
with that principle which according
to the German view merely extends to
sea warfare the principles already
controlling Franc-Tiereur activity on

cushion and should be level with the
lower surface of the shoe so that 1t
will have a bearing surface. The
blacksmith should be instructed not
to trim away the bars of the foot as
is often done. This results in a con-
tracted hoof and reduces the years of
usefulness of the horse.
THE principal object in shoeing is
to reduce the wear on the hoof,
though faults of gait and conforma-
ton may be corrected by careful shoe
ing. The shape of the colts foot can
be greatly changed by proper shoeing.'

FIND BOYS BODY IN RIVER.
Graphing Hook Brings Up Remains
of August Bachman Near Manhattan

Manhattan. Kan, July 29.-After
six days at the bottom of the Kaw
river, the body of August Bachman,
drowned July 20. was recovered by R.
r. Barclay, a farmer living near the
Bachman place.
Barclay was one of several farm
ers who have been faithfully search
ing the river ever since the drown
ing, in the hope of recovering the
body.
He was using a graphing hook
from a boat, in nearly thirty feet of
water, when the hook struck the body
early il the morning. Barclay was
alone and the body was buried SO firm
ly in the sand that he could not get
it to the surface. He called for help,
but the hook had been released, and
for several hours the search was re-
sumed before 1t again became entan-
gled in the clothing of the dead boy.
