WORLD LEAGUE
League to Enforce Peace De-
clares 1913 Agricultural
Bodies Endorse 1t

New York, May 5.-A list of 1913
agricultural organizations, national,
state and local, which have adopted
resolutions favoring the entrance of
the United States into a League of
Nations was made public to-day by
the League to Enforce Peace. The
League also announced that fifty
five prominent agriculturists, repre-
senting every state in the Union,
have Joined the organization as ma
tional officers and members of its
natlonal committee and are mobiliZ-
ing the farmers of the country for
a drive on the United States Senate
when the League of Nations treaty
is presented for ratification.
On the strength of this evidence
the report, which is presented by
Professor Walter J. Campbell, the
leagues rural extension secretary,
concludes that an overwhelming ma
jority of the 100000 farmers of
the country favor, not only the idea
of league, but the league covenant
as it now stands.
Some Big Organizations
Ninety per cent. of the resolutions
were adopted since the publication
of the covenant and all but two or
three of them since January /, 1919.
Copies were sent to President Wilson
and to the Senators representing the
State in which these organizations
are located. The list includes most
of the leading national agricultural
bodies, among them the American
Agricultural Association, Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America, Farmers Equity Union.
Farmers National Council, Farmers
National Reconstruction Conference,
National Board of Farm Organiza-
tions, National Federation of Clean
ers, National Grange, and the Non
Partisan League.
Among the prominent agricultur-
lists who are directing the league
campaign are: oliver Wilson, mas
ter of the National Grange; G. S.
Barrett of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of America;
DIR. II. l.. Russell, dean of the Col

ing, typewriting, spelling and posi-
bly, stenography), music, public
speaking, auditorium activities and
physical training.
How many teachers will be rcquir-
cd to supply the needs of the inter-
mediate or junior high schools? The
Camp Curtin school will require sc
teachers and the Edison IA total
of so. Thirty-seven of these teach
ers will be required in the special
subjects alone.
What will be the length of the
school day? About six hours, not
including a lunch period at noon of
about forty-fve minutes. Most pu-
pills will be obliged either to bring
their lunches or purchase them
in the lunch room of the school.
Will not the construction and on
Grafton of these schools increase the
total expense of the school district"
Yes, considerably. The interest on
the bonds, the additions to the sink
ing funds, the cost of operating the
plants, the employment of many ad-
ditional teachers in newly created
departments of work-alI this will
make added costs necessary.
How will the schools conparc,
when completed, with other similar
schools throughout the country?
These schools and the facilities pro-
vided through them will be unsur-
passed. They mean that Harrisburg
has taken a national stride educa-
tionally. They will afford oprortun-
tiles for the development of the boys
and girls of Harrisburg equal to
those afforded in any city. And, af-
ter all, it is not so much the ques-
ton of how much is spent on edu-
cation, but what returns are derived
for moneys expended that are oe
most important concern. Our new
schools will bring returns.

Wrong Man on Trial;
Ignorance Leads to Error

West Chester, Pa, May 5.-A seri-
Gus error in listing cases for trial in
Criminal Court caused Henry Cooper,
a Coatesville negro much tribulation
Saturday when he was placed on trial
for a crime he did not commit for the
real culprit.
A charge of assault and battery had
been brought against n negro by Jose
Campos, a young Mexican, but in err
ror the name of Cooper was entered
upon the docket. The Mexican could
not speak English and when an in
terpreter had been called from the
State Normal School it was found that
Cooper was not the man accused and
he was sent home, a verdict of not
guilty being directed by the Court.

That's a remarkably rotten

War Insurance Void if
Applicant Had Been Dying
BY Associntcd Prcss.

Washington, May g. Claims for
deaths of men in militray service
resulting from natural causes or
from battle are not payable under
the war risk insurance act If appli-
cation for insurance was made while
the applicant was in a dying con-
dition" 1t was explained in q state
ment by the War Risk Insurance
Bureau.
This provision of the law was
pointed out, it was said, to correct
an erroneous impression that the bu-
reau was refusing to pay claims on
deaths from natural causes. The
conditions under which n man dies,
is was said, do not affect the pay
ment of claims. but only the condi-
tions upon which he makes applica-
tion for insurance.
