education Perhaps that is one reason
why some of the western states are
drawing so heavily on this state fol
their teachers.
The Publicity of the Wisconsin Teach
ers' Association in a bulletin issued
recently says 1T is no longer a ques-
ton of getting teachers for what cities

The teacher condition of this state
is so serious that Governor Philip IN
Guided them in his call for special
session of the legislature. 1t is hoped
that our lawmakers will come to the
relief of the situation. Wisconsin Is
rapidly drifting into educational bank
ruptcy. for there is no good education
possible without good teachers, and
these are terribly scarce. The rural
schools are especially hard hit by this
condition. City and state graded
schools feeling the shortage are draw
ing the best rural teachers to them by
greatly increased salaries and much
better living conditions, leaving the
rural schools without teachers. Only
as rural schools increase their salaries.

Legal Aspect
Certain things connected with the
legal aspect are to be considered.
Presume the man to be innocent un-

The important thing in this case
is when was Nelson BARLEY killed :
Tho State says that this respondent

State Claims that Nelson BARLEY was
killed at S.c4. Now there is the first
important step. Time. and l repeat
the word, time. 1t may have happen
ed but ! doubt it, that ever again in
Maine, in New England anywhere,
that time will play such a significant
part in the finding out Of the truth
in any case. This matter is narrowed
down on the governments theory in
the case.
The inference is from facts proven
here. No matter what I think: what

The situation which the little gath

night in public session was one which
won from the speakers some heartfelt
words of explanation and comment.
Wesleyan is loved dearly by her alum
ni-there is no slightest doubt of
that! And when President Trotter,
wha has only been away from ives,
elyan few years, placed his hand on
the shoulder of Rev. DR.. Goodwin
during. his address and spoke Of the
days when, Goodwin as we'll as several
others present had been member Of
one of his classes, there were tears in
his eyes and his voice broke slightly
with emotion.
He said Wesleyan was very dear to
him and it was only because condi-
tons so shaped themselves that II
seemed best for him to become presi-
dent of the University that he had
left her. He spoke Of the great need
for funds to carry out the work of the
school which yearly increased in vol
ume, in scoepand in depth. He said
it was not q matter any more of OBJ
tanning enough pupils for any of the
schools in the state, but matter of
acquiring facilities to take care OF
those who come. When the alumni
give back to Wesleyan one-tenth in
value what they received from the
college, then there will never be any
more need for financial aid.
President Trotter toll da story of a
man who was Socialist strong. He
said If he had a million dollars he
would share it with his neighbor. If
he had $1,000 he would share that.
Yes If he had 500 he would give
half of it to his neighbor. If he had
SO, half should go to his earthly
brother. Well, he had two pigs
would he give one. of them to his
neighbor. This was what the fellow
replied: Now, look here, that isn't
fair. You know I've got two pigs!'

FARM NOTES BY THE COUNTY
AGENT

The usual condition of the sweet
/ potato market at this time of the year
now prevails. Nearly every farmer
| has potatoes for sale and the market
can not take them as fast as they are
offered. The result is a low price.
What can be sdonei' Nothing, but
to hold back the potatoes from the
market until there is a demand for
| them. This means storage of the
| crop until late winter and spring.
| While it is advisable to have a stor-
age house for curing and keeping the
potatoes, it is fact that every grow
er can not build one this year and that
large part of the crop must be stor-
ed in banks as usual However. the
annual loss from decay in banks can
be materially reduced if proper at,
tention is given to the best methods
of banking. The most important point
to be observed is that of ventilation.
Especially where the potato hills are
made out in the open and are covered
with straw and earth immediately
after being made. Ventilation can be
provided by means of bitches across
the bed of the hill and covered with
boards, or by board troughs. At the
center of the hill box trough with
sugar holes in all four sides should he
stood up on the bitches or board
troughs to form flue. This fine
should extend above the top of the
bank with a cover on it and at the
bottom an opening should be made in
the bed bitches or troughs so as to let
the air pass up from the outsida
through the bed bitches or troughs.
Where a shed is used to keen off
ram, good results can be obtained bv
letting the potatoes remain uncovarod
Tor two to three weeks before nuttin
on straw or dirt. If the weather i
coid' straw can be put on and tbon
removed when the weather is mia
enough. The idea is to let the pota
toes cure out before being covoroa
permanently. Potatoes ALWAYS haa.
