WORKING UNDER PROF. ECKLES
Graduate Students Here from Kansas
and Rhode Island.

There will be five graduate students
in the department of dairy husbandry
under the supervision Of Prof. C. H.
Eckles for the coming school year.
They are r. Osborn and ]. r. Dawson,
both of whom received the BIS. degree
at Manhattan, Kan, last year; Solo,
mon Fine, who received his MS. de-
gree last year at Rhode Island; NJ. H.
Fohrman and L. w. Morley, who re-
ceived the BIS. at Missouri last year.
Professor Eckles is recognized as
one of the foremost authorities on
dairy production in the United States
and his former students have been
placed in charge of more than two
thirds of the dairy departments in
universities.

er-Eastern Tour Outlined.

er-EaStern Tour Outlined.
According to Mrs. Walter McNab
Miller, the woman who is doing the
most for her country right now is not
the woman who wishes to leave her
home and enter politics.
"Women's work is becoming more
and more dignified, and it is being
placed upon an equal footing with
mems work." said Mrs. Miller this
morning. "The war is helping wom-
en- to be recognized in the world to-
day.
THE work of the modern woman is
two-fold. She must keep up her
diversified work and at the same time
continue her work in the home"
Tomorrow Mrs. Miller will address
the meeting of the Women's Council
of Defense at Sedalia. Representa-
tives from the different counties of
the state will attend and later will
take up the work in their own coun-
ties.
At Baltimore, Mrs. Miller will de-
liver the opening address at the meet
ing Of the Council of Jewish Women.
From Baltimore Mrs. Miller will go to
Washington. d. c., where she will
visit the Hoover Offices and gather
data for her war-relief work. In
New York she will attend a national
women's suffrage meeting.

self.HypnotIsm Nearly Fatal.

Records for keen imaginations were
shattered in the case Of Edward Cor
rigan, who almost succeeded In killing
himself with thought, Los Angeles
dispatch says.
Corrigan is a young engineer and
had been going with girl, with whom
he had quarreled. "The end will come
in a couple Of hours" he said In sep
ulchral tones. Shortly afterwards he
was found in bed in q comatose condl-
ton, and when his folks entered the
room he asked for a priest to admins
ter the last rites.
Police Surgeon Zorb made a minute
examination and thought Corrigan had
taken poison. His eyes were dilated
and his outward condition indicated
poisonous symptoms. Treatment ap-
piled caused Doctor Zort and other ex-
perts called in to believe that the case
was one Of self-hypnotism causd by
mental depression. When Corrigan
returned to his senses in the hospital
he broke out in tears, saying he was
despondent over his broken love affair.

Old False Teeth Valuable.

Many people no doubt have read
the advertisements appearing in the
papers of late Offering from 81 to SIS
for old false teeth and have wondered
why a person should want to buy
teeth that had been worn out by years
of use. At first glance person in
wardly shudders at the thought OF
another using secondhand false
teeth. But it is not the teeth the ad-
vertiser wants. Years ago consid-
erable quantity of platinum was used
in making false teeth and today plat
inum is one of the most valuable OF
known commodities. The platinum Is
extracted from the teeth and the
teeth are consigned to the junk pile.
In times past a set Of false teeth cost
anywhere from $50 to $500. 1t was
the platinum used in making the
bridges that ran the cost of manufac-
ture up to such a high figure, but in
recent years a cheaper material has
been used and now it is possible to
get a fairly good set Of false teeth
for a very small sum. Small fortunes
have been made in recent months
from the sale Of platinum extracted
from old false teeth.

Why He Joined Air ssrv,ee.


=. Few men, I am sure, would confess
to 30 strange an immediate cause for
Joining the aviation service as that re-
lated to me by Drew, as we sat over
our coffee and cigarettes, on the eve
ming of our first meeting, writes James
N. Hall in the Atlantic. He had come
to France, he said, with the intention
Of joining the Legion Etrangere as an
infantryman. But he changed bis
mind, few days after his arrival In
Paris, upon meeting Jackson Of tn
American Aviation squadron, who was
on leave after service Of six months
at the front. It was all because Of the
manner In which Jackson looked at a
Turkish rug. He told him Of his ad-
ventures in the most matter-of-fact
way. No heroics, nothing Of that sort.
He had not glimmer Of Imagination,
he said. But he had way Of looking
at the floor which was irresistible
which fascinated him with the sense
Of height He saw towns, villages, q
network Of trenches, columns OF toy
troops moving up ribbons Of road-all
In the patterns Of a Turkish rug. And
the next day, he was at the headquar-
tiers Of the Franco-American corps, In
the Champs Elysees. making applica.

WOMAN DIES OF WOUNDS.
Nobody Yet Blamed Of killing Mrs.
Estelle Baker.

Camden, Sept. 17.-Mrs. Estelle
Raker, who was found badly beaten
near her home, seven miles east of
Camden, Friday, died at the hospital
here Saturday morning at o'clock,
never having regained consciousness.
An examination by physicians reveal
ed the fact that she had not been shot,
as was first thought, but that tk'
wounds made on her hands were re-
ceived in warding off the blows. Evi-
dence at the scene Of the tragedy
went to show that she had been fired
at, as fresh gun wads were picked up,
and the trail of load of shot as they
cut their way through the weeds ia
dicated that the murderer fired from
a crouching position concealed in the
weeds as the unfortunate woman was
gathering grapes.
A coroner's inquest was held Sat
urday, with Solicitor w. H. Cobb con-
ducting the investigation. The hus-
band of the dead woman, testifying
at the inquest, stated that he found
the injured woman, and that he called
to her, but did not offer to assist her
in any way. He stated that he ana
his sons were hauling straw near the
house at the time of the attack upon
his wife, and stated that he had shot
a wasp nest near by. The shirt worn
by the husband on the day Of tie
tragedy was put in evidence and
showed evidence of having been
freshly torn and had stains upon it..
He could not account for the rents in
his shirt, but stated the stains were
from watermelon juice.
The jury returne verdict to the
effect that Mrs. Baker came to her
death at the hands Of party or
parties unknown to the jury.
Neither the husband Of the dead
woman nor any of his people were
present at the funeral.
Mrs. Baker was about thirty years
of age and leaves four children, the
eldest being a son Of fourteen years.
She is also survived by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Sinclair, Of Cam
den. The killing seems to be one Of
the most mysterious in this county in
many years. The officers say they
have fresh clues and there will be
nothing left undone to ferret out the
guilty parties.

| lWHEN SHIP BECAME A FARM
Story 10 Told Of the Experiences q
Late Major Archibald Butt win

Truly, there is nothing new under
the sun. Here's the good ship Pom

Goldfish from where there Is ample
Goldfish to where the hungry natives
are yearning for Goldfish. She springs

Goldfish drink copiously and swell up,

Not at all, says the New London Day.
They used to tell q story In Washing
ton years ago about the late Maj.
Archibald w. Butt and his cargo OF
oats that makes the tale OF the Pom
hook sound like plagiarism.
In those days Archie was not ma
jor, neither had he attained to the
proud position Of military aide to the
president of the United States. He
had been a newspaper man and had
but lately entered the army as q lieu
tenant in the Quartermasters depart
ment His first assignment" was to
chaperon q cargo Of oats from San
Francisco to Manila on one Of those
weird transports which the govern
ment always managed to find In some
out-of-the-way dock in Spanish war
times. Half way to Guam the old tub
shipped heavy sea and couple Of
tons Of water sluiced into the hold.
It was what the oats needed They
sopped 1t up and called for more. They
became insistent. Their impahence
burst all bounds, until the ship couldn't
hold them. They swelled and swelled.
and finally sprouted.
When the young quartermaster
reached Manila finally he had no cargo
Of oats, but he had splendid farm.
Oats were growing out Of the matches,
they climbed the masts, they festooned
about the bridge, they burst through
every seam and hung down the sides
Of the ship like an Illinois quarter sec
ton afoat. The army authorities at
Manila Cancelled an order for new
machine gun and ordered a couple OF
reapers. And Archie Butt didn't know
whether he would be court-martaled
or be secretary Of agriculture. Talk

Fertilization of Wheat.

The following statement concern
ing the fertilization of wheat this fall
was issued by the department Of ag'
ricultural extension at Purdue Uni
versity, July 81, 1917:
The fertilization of the wheat crop
was never more important than 1t will
be this fall. From every part Of In
diana comes reports Of the excellent
results Secured from fertilization and
the very poor yields of wheat secured
from unfertilized soil. BY fertilizing
the farmer swaps dollars for eagles
and the profit after counting expenses
of applying fertilizer, and paying fol
harvesting and marketing the in
creased crop would be more than SIS
an acre. If this isn't case of swap,
ping d0iYars for eagles It comes very
near to it.
The Ohio experiment station Of
Wooster, as an average for the last
twenty-five years, has secured an in
crease Of 80 bushels Of wheat to the
acre from an application of 160
pounds of acid phosphate to the acre.
Evidence on the proftableness of
fertilizing the wheat is abundant" In
1916 L. NJ. WaggonEr of st. Joseph
county, applied two hundred pounds
of acid phosphate to the acre, to
wheat. From the fertilized part he
secured PA bushels of wheat to the
acre, and on the acre-a gain Of 9.9
bushels, due to fertilizing.
This year two hundred pounds of
acid phosphate will cost about $2.25
and wheat is worth $500 per bushel.
On this basis the increase secured by
Mr.. Waggoner would be worth $3.50
The phosphated yield has been ILL.,
bushels and the phosphated 1872
bushels. Where 1000 pounds of pot
ash has been added to the phosphate,
the yeild has been 20.4 bushels to
the acre, or an increase of IL bushels
more than was secured from phos-
phatealone. Even at present prices
for wheat and before-war prices for
potash the increase in the wheat
crop was not sufficient to pay the cost
of the potash. The addition of potash
to fertilizer containing phosphorus
and nitrogen will not be profitable
when applied to clay and loan soils
Nine farmers out Of ten should
fertilize wheat this fall. Fertilizer
not only increases the yeild directly
but the greater supply of available
plant food makes stronger plants thai
Withstand the attack of fungus dis
eases and insects better than those
unfertilized. At present prices the
farmer may exect,a return Of at least
five dollars for every dollar spent FOL
wheat fertilizer this fall.
The Importance of ordering early
cannot be too strongly emphasized
Those who order early will get what
they want, while those who order late
will be compelled to TAX ewhat is left
or do without.

How the Mongolia Met Her Fate.

Sydney, Australia, Sept. 15.--Sur-
yivors of the sinking Of the Peninsu-
lar & Oriental Company's steamship
Mongolia by German mine of Bon-
bay on June % have arrived here
with further details Of the disaster,
which cost the lives of about twenty
white persons and Lascars. The sur
viyors' stories indicate that the mine
was one placed by the German raider
Wolff. The Mongolia sank within
twenty minutes, in water so shallow
that the tips of the masts remained
unsubmerged.
Australians on the vessel included
Brigadier General Sir Robert McC-
Anderson and Lady Anderson; OF
Sydney; Major Noman Robertson and
Mrs. Robertson of Sydney and JUS
tice Booth of Western Australia.
General Anderson had been on mill
tary duty in England and Major
Robertson in Egypt. They agreed
that had the Mongolia struck the
mine at night instead of at midday
the loss of life would have been
heavier. =.
"The wireless apparatus was shat
tered by the explosion and we were
helpless" said Sir Robert. "Al-
though the lifeboats had everything
aboard biscuits and water--de-
manded by the Board of Trade regu-
lations, if we had been unlucky
enough to have been out for some
days there would have been a great
Ell number of deaths.
There were two deaths in my

Lifeboats should be equipped with a
hospital chest and first-aid outfit,
and think a proportion should be
fitted with engines. With ordinary
lifeboats it is not always possible to
reach a man in time. We had one
poor chap taken by shark"
when we took our places where
our lifeboat should have been,' said
Mrs. Robertson there was none. II
had not been launched because its
crew had been killed in the engine
room. Some passengers and Others
tried to launch it but were driven Of
by escaping steam, which was worse
than the explosion. The captain
called to us to get into another boat
AS three of the men were getting in
to this boat their fingers were caught
in a block and taken off. In enter
ing the boat someone knocked out
the rudder and sail, so there was
nothing for us to do but drift about
Then a moon soon sprang up and
there were 81 of US in boat intend
ed to hold 46. After having drifted
ten hours we managed to attract the
attention of a coolie boat by hoisting
a woman's white underskirt flag-wise
on an oar"
Justice Rooth said that the whites
including several women, and the
Lascars were crowded into the boat

were. He added: 1--WE had number
