Idea Makes a Hit.

-'''- Idea Makes Hit.
This was the work of the army edu-
cation commission, in cooperation with
the department of agriculture and va
rious state colleges and universities.
The idea made hit with the soldiers
at once. Each week tens of thousands
of them are in class or lecture rooms
established throughout the army. The
teaching staff from the home colleges
found the men eager to talk about
farming "back home" which was one
of the objects of the experiment. They
are satisfied by the interest displayed
in the class and by the fact that more
than 500 farmers clubs have been or
ganized, with a membership of fully
10000 soldiers. One day a flying
squadron of "city felIers" came over
to the university to "get some agri-
cultural DOPE" There was enjoyment
of army pleasantly at first, but in the
end several of the visitors confessed
themselves so interested that they, too,
soon would be in the school.
In many units of the expeditionary
forces farmer-soldiers have a chance
to 60 to agricultural schools which
maintain courses Of six to twelve
weeks and give instruction in several
fundamental studies. They are called
post and divisional schools. They are
usually under the general supervision
of representatives of the commission,
although the principals and teachers
are from the army. They are held in
all sorts of places, wherever rooms and
equipment can be found In Germany
abandoned agricultural schools in the
occupied territory have been taken
over. Even the land surrounding such
schools has been made use of for prac-
tical work with crops, soil and gar
dens. Sometimes live stock is secured
for judging, but usually the classes
are taken to nearby farms for study
and observation of the live stock found |
there. /
Forty Studies Offered.
Forty different studies are offered |
the boys grouped in four general de-
partments-animal husbandry, agron-
Omy, horticulture and forestry and |
rural economics and sociology. In ad-
dition supporting subjects are offered
at other colleges of the university.
In the first account Of this American
university to be received by the de-
partment Of agriculture Prof. F. w.
Beckman of Iowa State college says:
"The immediate results of the educa-
tional program of the commission are
worth while, but farseeing men expect
even greater results in the future.
Secretary Baker, in his address at the
university, said he believed that out of
the commissions work would come a
permanent educational policy for the
army, combining military training with
training for the vocations and for civil
life. Alphabetically the Immediate re-

Over in east central France there is
going on an American adventure in ed
ucation of which very little has been
said over here. A university has been
established, with a college. of agricul-
ture and ten other colleges and farm
school. Two months ago it was an
idea; today it has 5000 enrolled stu
dents; more than 5000 attend the
school, while extension activities reach
hundreds of thousands of men in one
way or another. The university build
ing is former American hospital near
the town of Beaume, in the famous
vineyard district of Cote dor.
About the middle of March a host of
young American soldiers came sweep
ing into the old hospital grounds from
all parts of the eXpeditionary forces.
They had packs on their backs, guns
in their hands, gas masks and ''tin"
hats at their sides. They put on over
alls, picked up hammers, saws, SHOW
els and picks, and made things ready
to go to school. They kept coming, so
that now the university occupies more
than 300 structures, which called for
800 carloads of material and equip
ment. ,-t-

Co. have had the opportunity to investigate the
workings of quite number of mutual insurance COM

people did not take their insurance in good home mu

out very prominently to the careful observer, VIZ:
First the premiums much less than in the old line
companies Second, we always know for whose bene-
fit an assessment is paid and this gives element

Elihu Root, then Secretary of state said of him. '"The resignation of Sen ator Spooner is a public misfortune. The nation owes a debt of gratitude to the State of Wisconsin for con tributing him to the work of the na- tional government. He will be sad ly missed when congress reconVenes and his old associates feel the loss or his wisdom, and strength, his courage and magnanimity.'
 Senator Spooner was one of the most interesting figures to the gallery

Suddenly the visitor would see him toss his mas sive head back, half close his eyes and turn his hand to his ear to catch every word A few moments more and he was on his feet to challenge some misstatement or plerce some fallacious reasoning.

Spooner declined to talk with them.
 When Senator SpOOner resigned from the senate a friend, remembering this principle of his conduct, remark ed in saying good bye, "I suppose we will never see you here again.
 You never will" replied the sen ator. Though he afterWard represent ed cOrDOratiOns in a legal capacity, Senator Spooner kept his word. He never buttonholed other senators on the senate floor as a lobbyist for any private interest.

Upon his retirement in 1907 the New York Tribune said of him: He goes now, at the age of sixty-four, having devoted sixteen years of his life to the service of his country, to resume the practice of his profes- sion without a contract Or a client and with no reliance for the future save his well earned reputation, while all who have enjoyed the privilege of associatine with him in his public career witness his departure with sor- row."

Small of stature, old-timers said he reminded them of Stephen Douglas, the little giant" An adept at sharp repartee, at witty or crushing re- joinder singing criticism only ln- spired him to his loftiest flights. His speech has been described as simple luminous, forcible."
 Senator Spooner was intensely de- voted to his family. He married in 1868 Miss Annie E. Main of Madison, Wis. He had three sons, Charles F., Philip ", and Willet M.

their lack of Oxford shcepskins. so to

director of more or less literacy who

produce a railroad photoplay. ooh,

ply, "even Nazirova." His friend
couldn't recall any railroad film in
which the celebrated Russian had
played and said so. "Can't you read;
don't you see THE Red Lantern adj

castle rejoinder. Bobby Harron likes
to tell the one about the exhibitor back

A big success is often founded on a
very little thing in FINLAND as well as
in the outside business world. Some
thing over a year ago Mary Pickford
took a trip up Mount Lowe to make
scenes for "M'liss." Tom Meighan, the
leading man in that picture, had been
telling Mary about a remarkable book
he had been reading and had loaned
it to her for the trip. She read it and
a few days later met ID. W. Griffith at
a social gathering. She told him about
