GIVES AWAY GIRLS AGE.

There was no loud and ostentatious weeping Ut the Boucher seniors fare we'll chapel exercise. Only now and then was there a furtive dab at a ''tearyH eye, or nose, or the sound of what might have been a sob had it not been suppressed in infancy. Dr, Lillian Welsh told the seniors grad uating was time for rejoicing" and argued the point so we'll that those who came to weep remained to smile.
 The smiles grew broader when she told the college girls that no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to conceal their ages.
 ''The ages of college girls" she pur- sued. with mathematical exaetness, "are somewhere between 16 and 20.' Taking this as premise, she argued that any mean person who wants to find our the exact age of a college graduate need only to do simple lit tie sum in arithmetic.
 If you don't want your age to be known" she added amid laughter, don't go to college.

set the time within a few days. From
the present angle it begins to look
as if the campaign will be rather
warmer than the weather promises to
be. Since the dawn of statehood,
the local politicians have learned
many things about the game, and are
preparing to put them into practice.
Heretofore, the candidates were wont
to meet and exchange condolences, but
of late they are showing disposition
to flock by themselves" and if they
have any political ammunition they
will keep it for their own guns.
Just what the tickle voters will
do to this bunch of candidates is of
course mystery, but it is safe to
predict that several unlocked for sur
prises will be sprung ere the ides of
August are banished from memory.

spirit of good fellowship, and to as
sert their rights as good American
citizens to vote as they durn please.
With the present avowed candi,
dates whose names appear daily in
the public prints, there Will be others
added within a few days, if rumOr is
correct. 1t is intimated that the
sheriff's race will have at least two
more entries. Also, the present coun-
ty attorney, who is a candidate for
reelection, will have another aspirant
to the job before the opening of the
campaign.
The county judge is silent as the
grave in his office on the top floor
of the court house. He is an avowed
candidate for reelection, but so far
his formal announcement has not ap-
peared. 1t is likewise reported that
he is likely to have a horse race"
as there are a couple of disciples Of
Blackstone who think themselves bet
ter qualified for the job than he, and
are inclined to try conclusions with
him.
For county representative, one en-
try has so far announced, but there
are several jOckeying with their
friends, and are seeking a little en-
couragement to enter the race. In
years past this office usually had
more candidates than any other in
the county. 1t was no trouble TO
scare up a candidate for the legisla-
ture most anywhere. They ran on
the slightest provocation, and many
without any provocauon whatever,
but things are different this time,
and the race may go to the single
entry unless some of the modest ones
quit blushing and declare themselves.
The county superintendent of pub
lie instruction, it is understood, will
stand to succeed himself, but at the
present time he is too busy with the
schools of the county to give much
thought TO politics. However, the
school year is nearly over, and the
public may be prepared to hear some'
thing from that source in the near
future. And, speaking of county SUI
perintendents reminds one that there
is a likelihood of there being several
"Richmonds" in the field, as il has
been noted upon more than one oc-
casion that longing eyes have been
cast in that direction.
The opening gun of the campaign
will be fired, as usual, at Newport
school house, and Uncle Jim" Avery,
the old democratic warhorse, will
again be accorded the honor of ar
ranging the opening date and intro
ducing the speakers, as he has in
years past. The date for the open
ing has not been agreed upon by the
candidates, but they will meet and

FARM VALUES INCREASE
Average Farm Goes Up More Than So
An Acre in Four Years.

The effect of the present pros.
pcrity of the country upon farm val
ues is shown by new figures issued
by the department of agriculture.
The value of farm lands in the
United States today, without improve
ments, is estimated as $45.55 per
acre, as compared with $40S5 a year
ago, $4O.31 two years ago, $3.50
three years ago, and $36.23 four years
ago. The census put the average
value of farm land in 1910 at 1920
an acre.
The increase has been general
throughout the United States, the
only noteworthy exceptions being or
chard lands and some irrigated lands
in the northwest, which apparently
had been over-valued before.
The percentage increases in value
of farm lands in the past year by
sections of the United States are:
North Atlantic states, 10 per cent;
eastern part of north central states,
9 per cent; western part of north
central states, 2S per cent; south At
lantic states, 10 per cent; south cen
tral states II per cent; far western
states, "a per cent; entire United
States 25.7 per cent.
These estimates are based upon

WANTS TO GO TO PRISON
WiIfuIIy Defaces U. S. Mail Boxes in
Order to Get Sentenced.

Kansas City, Mo, April CIV. II.
Clayton has no dread OF a long prison
sentence. That, in fact, is the one
thing he has been longing for. He
is at police headquarters, following
his arrest on Tuesday night at Four
teenth street and Grand avenue, where
he was defacing United States mail
boxes.
Clayton told the police he wants to
go 10 the federal prison at Leaven-
worth. He is a homeless cripple.
Two months ago he surrendered for
breaking government mail boxes but
the federal district attorney refused
TO prosecute him. He once served
term in prison and says he liked his
treatment there.
