SHED PREVENTS ENOR.
NOUS WASTES

1t has been carefully estimated
that the value of farm manure vast
ed in the United States annually is
$7OO,OOO,OOO This amount would
build a fleet Of 100 dreadnoughts or
pave 100000 miles of highway each
year The wheat crop of 1912 was
estimated at 73O,0OO,O0O bushels and
allowing one dollar for every bushel
OF wheat for that year It is evident
that the waste from manure approx
mately equals the value of our an
nual wheat crop. Dean Alfred VI
Wan Of the College of Agriculture, Of
Ohio State University, Columbus,
points out that manure shed on eV-
cry farm would prevent the manure
losses to a great extent Such a
structure need only to have a con-
crete floor and covering which will
prevent rains from teaching the ma
nure as it does in the barnyard 1t
should be connected with the stables
with a litter carrier. When the ma
uure cannot be hauled directly to the
fields its value win remain the same
by storing. Manure handled in this
manner has returned as high as IS
per ton in increased crop yields.

TAKES An ADVANCED STAND
N. E. A. FAVoRS TRAINING IN

Must Not Prevent Educational Pur-

Suffrage.

New York, N. Y.-The National
Education Association went on rec
ord here as asserting to military
training in schools providing that
military ends should not be permit
ted to pervert the educational pur-
poses and practices of the school,"
This is a change of attitude. Last
year the convention came out flat
footedly against such training.
The resolution on military training
recognizes that the community or
state may introduce such elements OF
military training into the school as
may seem wise and prudent, yet it (the
association believes that such train.
ing should be strictly educational in
aim and organization and that mill
tary ends should not be permitted to
pervert the educational purposes and
practices of the school,"
A resolution was also reported ia.
voring woman suffrage.
Advocates of military training re

the vote from an address delivered

COURT DECIDES
BOND ISSUE LEGAL
ST. LOUIS COUNTY FIRST TO ASK
HIGH BODY TO PASS ON
ROAD BONDS.
DENOMINATIONS CAUSE STIR
Must Not Be Used in Improving Any
Road Through Any incorporated
Town-Pieeemeal Issuance
Also Set Aside.
jefferson City.

The road bond election held in st.
Louis County on February 10, last, at
which two-thirds of the qualified vot-
ers Of the county approved the issu-
ance of $4,000 900 in bonds for perma-
nent road construction, was regular
and valid in every particular. The
$4,000 in bonds which the county
court attempted to issue and have
registered by the state auditor are in
valid because not issued in compliance
with the terms of the statutes in the
matter of denomination and calling in
for payment.
This was the ruling of the supreme
court in a decision by Judge Farris,
in which Judges Walker, Blair, and
Graves concurred. Judges Revelle,
Woodson and Bond were absent and
did not sit.
The opinion Quashed the alternative
writ issued against the state auditor
to compel the registration of the
bonds. The Jefferson county bonds
failed for the same reason that the
$520,000 of the $S,000,O00 issue of the
St. Louis county bonds were knocked
out.
Briefly, the holding of the court is:
That the elections of st. Louis and
Jefferson counties for the issuance Of
bonds were regular and valid.
FTbo4 fl,1 hnY.Jn o4ka0o,14al L. - g..
sued and offered for registration by
the county courts Of St. Louis and
Jefferson counties are invalid for the
following reasons
l. Because the proposed method of
issuance by months would tend to pro-
long the payment of the bonds over
a period longer than twenty years for
which they were voted.
2. Because the court did not COM
ply with the statutes and issue half
the amount in denominations of $500
or less.
3. Because bonds issued as were
the st. Louis and Jefferson county
bonds, callable twenty years after a
date fixed in the bonds, is in noncom-
pliance with the statute, which re-
quires that "all bonds shall contain
a provision that they are payable
within twenty years upon the call of
the county"
All that is necessary for the st.
Louis and jefferson county courts to
do under the decision of Judge Faris,
to make the bonds good, is to fol
low the act Of 1907, which requires
one-half of the bonds to be issued in
denominations of $500 and that the
bonds contain a provision for their
redemption within twenty years upon
the call of the county.
This will preclude piecemeal issu-
ance by the county court.
Judge Faris holds expressly that
none of the bond money may be used
in the construction of roads or streets
through incorporated towns in the
county.

Jokes THAT ARE HISTORIC
Shop Witticisms inflicted on EveAS,
Newcomer That Joins the Ranks
of the Real Workers.

You have no doubt all heard of the
"left-hand monkey wretch" which ev-.
cry new apprentice in a wagon works
is sent after, and of the "italic thin
space" which the printers devil usual
Iy is sent to get, but William S.. Coy,
county superintendent of schools, bit
hard on one not quite so well known
when he assumed his duties as q book
keeper in a plumbing shop during one
of the vacations of his high school
days.
There was grumbling among the
hands because Of something that a
neighboring plumber had borrowed
and which he had failed to return.
The bookkeeper finally decided to help
out and offered to go to the borrower
and secure the needed article. His
offer was quickly accepted.
"What is it," he inquired.
"We want our pipe stretcher," an
swered one of the hands.
The bookkeeper went to the other
shop and to several others looking for
this particular article before it oc-
cured to him that it would be a pc
culiar kind of a tool, indeed, that
could stretch an iron pipe.-Columbus

SOME FORMS OF HYPNOTlsM
Many May Be Known to the Readers
While Others Have. a Flavor
That Is New.

Hypnotizing a hen is a trick known
to most country boys. 1t Is an old
experiment, first described by the Je-
suit Father Athanasius Kircher, who
laid a hen on the table, held it firmly
for a little while, and drew a chalk
line in front of its eyes, with the re-
suit that it remained as if in catalepsy.
In India it is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain SO
for a considerable time, either coiled
up or out straight. :
A frog fastened to a board and.
turned suddenly upside down goes into
a trance. Other animals are suscep-
tible to this treatment, some more
quickly than others.
If you pick up a crab and wave it
in the air it becomes immobile, a fe-
male bending her legs Over her abdo-
men, a male sticking them out almost
straight. The same is true of the
fresh-water crayish, only this resists
for a much longer time than the crab.
Among the insects catalepsy-com-
monty known as "death feigning'-is
common, and, according to Prof. Err
nest Mangold, the learned naturalist,
is often a means Of saving the life
of the insect.

ParaIysis-No Appeal to Be
Made to Red Cross Society.

New York City.-The germs of in
fantile paralysis did more deadly
work than ever among babies.
They attacked not only eighty-seven
more children in this city and killed
twenty-five, making a total Of 7s7
cases and 1856 deaths, but they af-
fected babies in nine other states and
Montreal.
The total list of New York dead so
far was distributed as follows:
Bronx, 2; Brooklyn, 10; Queens. /.
With these reports indicating in
fantile paralysis in so many widely
scattered places the fight against the
disease has assumed a national as
pect.
The disease has spread as far east
as Massachusetts, in the South to
Maryland and as far west as Cali
fornia. Five cases have been found
in Montreal.
Red Cross Call Considered.
The states outside of New York in
which authorities found new cases
are New Jersey, 5; Massachusetts,
s; Pennsylvania, 1; Connecticut, 2;
Indiana, /; Rhode Island, /; Kansas,
/; Ohio, 4; Maryland, /; Illinois, B;
California, /.
Health authorities of New York de-
cided to abandon, for the present at
least, a plan to appeal to the Ameri-
can Red Cross to aid in stamping out
the scourge of infantile paralysis in
this city, which since June 1 has
caused 196 deaths among children.

Where Our Boys Are Camping.

All Of the Missouri contingent Is
now in camp along the bo-der and
a correspondent has this TO say OF
the place TO which they are assigned;
Laredo has from is, 700 to $4,000 in
habitants depending on the civic pride
Of the person from whom you inquire.
All agree, however. that not more
than one-fourth of the residents are
white, the remainder being Mexicans.
The town lies on the north shore Of
the Rio ande. Directly opposite Is
the town of Nueyo Laredo connected
with Laredo by means of a train and
wagon bridge.
"a large portion of the river bed is
dry. The river proper is about 300
yards wide. Little naked Mexican
boys splash about in the shallow wa
ter along the Mexican shore. No
swimming is apparent on the Amert-
can side, however, since snipers from
| Nuevo Laredo instituted the playful
practice of dropping bullets on the
heads of swimming gringoes.
"hTe girls, in twos and threes, stroll
all in the same direction, in a huge
circle about the plaza. The boys form
an inner circle revolving in the oppo-
| site direction. AS the d~usky-eyed Sc
noritas in their graceful mantillas
pass the SWANS of their choice in
the inner circle there occurs an inter
hange of adoring glances. A Next
can of birth would be Mortified If his
daughter should appear on the streets
with a man. She would at once lose
caste.
Rain has not fallen in Laredo since
September last. Anyone en~countering
the dust here will accept this state
ment> implicitly"
