Some interesting figures have been
corrected by the University of Wiscon-
sin, showing the relationship between
education and farm improvement.
Eight hundred and twenty-five farms
In Wisconsin were made the sources of
the information, the idea being to de-
termine how education affected the I'M
provement of the farm home. Four
nome convenences were selected. the
bath room, the lighting system, the
furnace and the automobile. And the
farms were divided into four classes
depending on the degree Of the farm
erS observation-disclosures school, high
school, short course and college. About
~ per cent OF the common school"
farms enjoyed the four conveniences.
about 20 per cent of the high school
GLASS, Is Der cent Of the short course,
ana over 40 ner cent of those farm
homes where there had been the ad
vantage OF college education
Two things about the Investigation
are particularly interesting. In the
first place il was found that the per
centage of automobiles owned rose
steadily from 20 per cent in the COM
mon school class of farms to about %
per cent in the college class, whereas
the average OF the other three con-
vcniences rose rapidly from 20 per cent
IN the hrst class to over As per cent
IN the college class of farms, thus
showing that as education increases
real household comforts such as light
ing systems, bath rooms and furnaces
are considered even more desirable
than the almost necessary auto
mobile.
The second interesting result was
that lighting systems and bathrooms
Just about Kept pace with each other in
all four classes. This is due to the
fact that the installation of modern
electric light and power plant makes
possible the long wished for bath room.
FOR with electric power the most nat
ural thing is to install one of the auto
matte pumping systems which gives
the farm family running water AT a
good pressure all over the house and
barns. Good light and water supplv
have always been considered the frst
essentials OF home comfort. and il i
natural that they 20 together on the

HOUSTON G. YOUNG,
Secretary of State.

The financial returns from land in
England are so small and the taxes are
so exceedingly heavy that the great
landowning families are selling hun
dreds of thousands of acres, and the
last traces of feudalism are vanishing.
In one respect the results are a sur
prise to theorists; the tenant farmers
who buy their farms are often dis
satisfied with their changed condition
Having borrowed money at high rate
OF interest and having thus become
liable to whole set of taxes that the
landlord formerly paid, they are some
times eager to sell their newly &C.
CURED property and to get out Of their
predicament as best they can.
According to the Interchurch World
Movement, thirty-two different langu-
ages besides English are spoken in
New York City by some 100000 peo-
pie; but, in spite Of our polvglot city
populations, native Americans are
seldom gifted as linguists. The lines
of class distinction in America, al
though elastic, are more Of handicap
in that respect than they are in Europe.
The European who lives near an inter-
national boundary comes, frequently
into contact with foreigners of his own
social and intellectual interests, but
most Americans see little Of the
foreigners among our people and
neither inherit not get by constant
practice facility in using other
tongues.

JUDGE READS INSTRUCTIONS.

Especial to the Bulletin.)
Montesano, March 13.-Instruc-
tions to the jury by Judge Wilson
We're read late yesterday afternoon
and covered G6 closely typewriter
pages. In the instructions the judge
held that while any persons Or group
of persons have the right to arm
themselves and defend themselves
and property from actual or threat
ened violence, the stationing of
armed persons outside the threat
encd point is unlawful.
The Judge declared that it was the
duty of the jury to consider the
guilt or innocence of each of the de-
PENDANTS separately and charged the
jurors not to take into tAeir deliber-
ations the fact that the defendants
are members of the Industrial Work
ers Of the World, since that organiza-
tion is not on trial He ordered the
jury to take no cognizance of the
fact that others We're killed, but to
limit its deliberations to the death
Of Warren y. Grimm alone.
Referring to the case of Attorney
Elmer Smith, Judge Wilson said that
if the jury finds that Smith did no
more than advise the defendants to
resist assaults on themselves and
their property, it is the duty of the
jury to find him innocent. All OF
the testimony introduced during the
trial showed that Smith was blocks
away from the l. w. w. hall at the
time the American Legion paraders
under the lead of Lieutenant Grimm
made their assault on the hall, thus
precipitating the rioting.
Judge Wilson told the jury tc
consider the purported confession OF
Loren Roberts only insofar as it re-
lates to himself and not to consider
it as evidence affecting the other de.
PENDANTS.

Within a few hours after the con-

members Of the police trial board

lishment where, it was alleged, CO.

While the Warwick woman was on
the stand yesterday afternoon offer
ing rebuttal testimony, Attorney
Frank Walker, counsel for the two
accused policemen, announced his
withdrawal from the case, asserting
prejudice against the defendants on
the part OF the trial board members
and declaring that he regarded fur
ther efforts on his part for the Off
GERS as wasted time" He declared
that every objection he made to
hearsay evidence introduced by the
prosecution had been overruled by
the police board. Attorney Walker
remained as a spectator after formal
