Her First Statement to Woman Who
Met Her Was That She Wanted
to Know About This Great
Structure.
SHE HAS READ ABOUT TT
Miss Keller Talks to Gate City Re-
porter and Is Interested in
Young People, She
i. Says. 7..

Helen Keller, her teacher Mrs.
Anne Sullivan Macy, and her secre-
tary Miss Mollie Thompson arrived
in Keokuk this afternoon. The first
question Helen Keller asked of Mrs.
D.. A. Collier who met her at the
train was. Il want to know about
your wonderful DAM To Gate
City reporter almost her first words
were, II read about the Keokuk dam
in my German paper published in
Berlin"
She is charming girl. with the
happ1est face and manner imaginable.
The spirit of happiness which she
radiates and her eagerness to know
what is being said and done all
about her are what impresses one
most. She has a pretty face and
one would scarcely be conscious of
her blindness, If you didn't recognize
her as Helen Keller, for she looks
exactly like her pictures which are
familiar to everyone. 1t Is most in
teresting to see Mrs. Macy and Miss
Thompson talk to her, the movement
In her hand Is so quick and they
both speak the words aloud as they
"telp' them to Helen Keller in her
hand.
Helen Keller herself talks q good
deal, her voice and accent are a little
peculiar-how could it be otherwise
when she can have no knowledge Of
accent, which comes alone by hear
ing.
She spoke at the college at Mt.
Vernon, Ia, last night and she was
enthusiastic over her audience. She
said, "They were nearly all young
people. Will there be any school
children and young people tonight :"
She was greatly pleased when the
reporter told her that the high school
pupils had in their composition work
this week, her life and accomplish
ments for a subject.
Devotion Of Her Teacher.
Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, her teach
er, is a woman of delightful per-
sonality and her devotion to Helen
Keller is wonderful, in a way she
lives the life of two people in that
she translates the outside world to
her friend There is a bit of romance
in that her husband is the publisher
of Helen KeIler's books and through
their mutual interest in Helen Keller
they came to be more than inter
ested in each other. Miss Thompson,
the secretary, looks after the business
interest of the lecture and she can
talk to Miss Keller in the same way
that Mrs. Macy does.
1t Is almost uncanny the way Miss
Keller can tell who is talking. She
puts her hand on Miss Thompson's
face and when Mrs. Macy speaks. up
goes her hand to know what she Is
saying Miss Keller remembered very
clearly the circumstances surrounding
Miss Anne Dillon and the aid she was
able to give her as published in the
story in the Sunday issue of The Gate
City. Anyone would be better and
happier for seeing Helen Keller.

Some Original Language Work.

Some Original Language Work.
e In the third room. in which Miss
Mcbride is the teacher, there are
samples of language work which are
interesting. and samples Of work in
arithmetic which reflect some careful
teaching of this subject. In the
Language work the children give their
version Of well known picture. In
the arithmetic work there are samples
of various examples which have been
worked out by the children. Modelling
in clay is shown here. and is both well
done and quite interesting.
/ In the fourth room, Miss Allen Is
displaying a number Of maps OF the
United States, which are we'll colored,
and which show considerable origin
ality. The clay modelling work shown
i'm this room is most interesting. and
some of the pieces are most cleverly
done. Language and geography pa
ipers done by the various classes are
also on display.
In the fifth room. In which Miss
Stevens is the teacher, there are two
relief maps Of sections Of the United
States made in salt and flour, which
are unusually well executed. These
maps show some careful work. The
geography and language papers are
also displayed and there are numerous
drawings around the room.
Miss Megchelsen has splendid eX-
hibit in the sixth room. There are
three landscapes which were made by
one of the pupils at home, which
would do credit to an art school. The
weed books, and the Christmas books
are also very 'creditable affairs, and
show much work. The basket work
which is exhibited, and the water
color drawings are all work, of which
anv teacher or student might feel
proud.
Practical Demonstrations.
The arithmetic classes OF advance
pupils, who have their work in the
principals office, presided over by
Mrs. Clara P. Sheldon. have a unique
exhibit. There Is a cord OF wood
which the boys made according to
specifications of the table of weights
and measures Then there is room
which has been papered by member
of the class which has problems OF
paper hanging in the arithmetic. A
room is carpeted, also by one of the
girls who has worked out the carpet
problems. Square boxes show the
number of squares in certain sur
faces. and there are actual illustra
lions Of other problems.
| ! large number OF the parents visit
ed school today and enjoyed the ex,
ihibits in the various rooms.

| An exhibit of the work which the
pupils have done since the opening of
ischool in September was shown in
the Terrence school building this aft
Iernoon. in order that the patrons of
the school might have some idea OF

work was done for company" 80 to
speak. 1t is all work that Is done
leach day, and covers all phases of the
work OF the year
The exhibit is most credible one,
and reflects the good work which has

mention. Everything in the room was

Pigs Need Exercise.

AS soon as pigs will eat they should
have skimmilk in shallow pan. then
slop made of milk. some shorts, a
little bran and some oilmeal or tank
age. If this is fed with corn and the
pigs are given plenty of exercise there
should be no trouble from either
thumps or scours. Mix by weight rath-
er than measure four parts of corn,
four parts of shorts. one part of bran
and one part of tankage. The little
pigs should always be fed in a creep Of
some kind-that is. in a small pen into
which they can go and which shuts
out the sows and larger pigs that
would otherwise rob them. AS the pigs
become older the amount Of corn in the
ration may be gradually increased until
it has been doubled.-L. A. Weaver.

RAISING POOR HORSES.
Offspring Of Scrub Stations Not Worth
the Price of Feed Consumed.

Sno FTiCo OF Teeo NonSumeo.
The average Kansas horse is not
worth the cost of raising it. according
to DR.. c. w. McCampbell. assistant
professor in animal husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
This is due" said DR.. McCampbell,
Ito the fact that too many farmers are
breeding their mares to grade and
scrub stations that are inferior in size
and quality. This has resulted in the
production of small. poorly shaped
horses which are inefficient as work
animals.
statistics taken on Jan. 1, 1916.
showed that Kansas had 1O63, 1856
horses. valued at $116.969. 16O. or $11O
per head. This $11O would hardly
cover the cost Of the feed alone used
to raise horse to the age of FIVE years,
and the only revenue derived from the
horse is the inefficient work it per-
FORMS"
The remedy for this problem. accord
ing to DR.. McCampbell. Is to breed the
mare to good pure bred draft stations.
II no such stallion Is available do not
breed at all. is his advice. One can
buy scrub horses for less money than
he can raise them. and he does not
have to wait five years for them either.

Fresh Water For Chickens.

Chickens need a constant supply Of
fresh water, according to W. A. Lip
pincott. professor Of poultry husban1ry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege. Running water is BEST" says
Professor Lippincott. but If this Is
not available keep the water fresh.
Add enough permanganate Of potash
to make it wine red This amount
will act as an antiseptic in preventing
the transmission Of disease through
the water and also aid in keeping
down intestinal parasites"

Dipping Swine.

To free hogs from lice they should be
dipped two or more times at intervals
of about two weeks. Several clippings
may be required before complete Grad
ication is accomplished. Do not fail at
the same time to clean and dfsintoct
thoroughly the sleeping quarters. C4e-
sol compound %. S.-PJ may be used
for dipping and disinfecting. For dip
ping mix in the proportion of two gal
Ions to hundred gallons Of water. for
disinfecting in the proportion of three
gallons to a hundred gallons Of water.

other ways. The best plan is to dig
trench from two to three inches deep,
lay the vine in this and cover it over.
Leave the tip sticking out. The vine
that is covered will throw out roots
and send stems up at the joints. These
may be separated and planted sepa-
rately. A raspberry vine may be
made to produce new plants by bend
ing over the tip Of a cane and cover
ing it with dirt at the end.-Farm
