from the border last Thursday night.
after the adjutant general received the
order that no men, either college stu
dents or men with dependents, were to
be discharged, were held, in spite of
the fact that they had applied for dis
charge several days before. They missed
their train at New Orleans, it is said,
and arrived too late. The authorities
argued that their time of discharge was
to date, if granted, from the hour of
their arrival. The eleven college stu
dents who remained at the post and
.didn t go to Brattleboro have also
stayed in the service.
The officers of the militia are not in
La very much better position than the
men. They may present their resigna-
tions, but the war department can do as
it sees fit about accepting them.

| late Edison j. Pratt, who succeeded him.
He had the respect of all who knew
| him, and his faculty of maintaining
discipline in the institution without
| force made him respected and admired
!by the prisoners themselves. He was
"a Mason, a Knights Templar and a
| Shriner.

FARMERS CONSIDER
STATE Department
OF AGRICuL TURE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. Ii
Among the subjects to be considered
and discussed at the coming state
farmers congress, to be held here Jan.
3 and 4. will be the establishment Of
state department of agriculture by
the legislature. Joshua Strange, of
Marion, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the congress says such a
department Will be favored The
meeting of the congress, according to
Mr.. Strange will be devoted entirely to
consideration OF proposed legislation
to be asked when the lax makers
meet few days later
Want Uniform Ditch Laws.
Other action the congress is expect
ed to take, according to Mr.. Strange,
will be favorable to legislation for
more uniform ditch laws, and state
highway commission.
The kind of a department of agri-
culture some members of the congress
favor is similar in scope to the fedora!
department. They would recommend
to the legislature appropriations for
agricultural education and develop
ment, and the legislature would be
expected to look to the department fol
information and advice on the subject
Of farm legislation in the future. The
department. they say, would be non
political. Some have suggested that
the highway department be made a
part of the agriculture department
Those desiring the creation of the pro-
posed department of agriculture say il
would not in any way conflict with the
present state board Of agriculture.

the table became SO high many resi-
dents either bought chickens, think
ing they would get an occasional egg,
or kept what chickens they had raised
and intended to sell. The hens have
not laid to any extent, but their appe-
tites did not diminish. Recently the
