three sons and a daughter; John
James, our Audubon, was the young
est Of these.
When he was a few years old his
parents went back to San Domingo,
where his mother miserably perished
in a revolt of the negroes. After that
the Commander married again, pre-
sumably in France. Audubon's step
mother was devoted to him, but with
foolish devotion that allowed him to
stay away from school, stuff himself
on candy and dress extravagantly.
Johns father, finding this out on one
of his visits home, hurried the young
man off, with only few hours no.
tice, to schoo! at Rochefort.
Mother Nature had taught Audu-
bon to draw, and at Rochefort he was
so fortunate as to have David as his
first master. All his spare time at
school was spent collecting specimens
of birds, butterflies, small animals and
fragments of strange looking rock.

Several years after the marriage,
Audubon sold Mill Grove, and put the
money into goods, which he and his
partner loaded on an ark and came
down the river as far as Henderson

ly to commercial life, and every time
the ark stopped, was off to the woods
to collect specimens. One most pro-
voking time was once when they were
ice bound in Kentucky, Audubon went
off with some Indians to an inlzad

"Angel unawares."
John James Audubon was born at
Vaudeville on the shores of Lake Pom

now at haid.
From Mrs. Audubon's "Memoirs of
her husband kindly loaned me from

John was the son of Commander Au-
dubon, who was the youngest but one
CT family of twenty-seven, the chill
dren of poor fisherman of Sable de
Lcrne in France. This worthy man
was often seen with his wife and
twenty-one children in church. The
commander says that when he was Il
years old his father gave him "A
shirt, warm dress, a cane and his
blessing and sent me out to seek my
fortune" The boy shipped before the
mast at Nantes and at seventeen was
captain Of small trading vessel. At

trading vessels and sailed to San Do

better preparation for life, according
to Mrs. Marray Frame, Of Yenching
college, Peking, who has just conn

the interest Of better education for
woman in the Orient.
Within the last few years seven col
leges for women have made their be-

Mrs. Frame. Five of them are Arts
colleges and two Medical, she states
They are located as follows: two in
India, at Lucknow in the north and
at Madras in the south; two in China,
one in the northern capital, Peking
the other in the old Southern capital
Manking; one in Tokyo, the capital of
Japan. The two medical schools are
in Ve!lore India and Peking, China.

troup were excused temporarily from
college and went out into the nearest
famine region to investigate. They
found such numbers of poor little
girls either desetred to die or about
to be sold by their desperate pa

begged the use of two Buddhist tenn.

cared for over 200 famine victims

came for admission to the Medical
College at Vellore. Only % could be

medical workers for the suffering wo-

Improvement in
Financial Outlook

Liverpool, Dec. 11.-Stanley Bald
win, president of the board of trade
has just told the shipbrokers here that
there were more indications Of i'm
provement than the reverse in the in
dustrial and financial outlook.
He was advised that in the United
States they considered the corner was
being turned; in India the bottom had
been reached; there were signs of re-
vival in Japan where the slump was
first experienced, while in the British
Dominions and South America the
feeling was more hopeful.
One thing upon which they put a
definite finger was the fall in food
prices. The harvests Of the world
had been good and as rule plenty
Of food meant plenty Of orders.
In regard to wages the concessions
generally speaking had been satisfac-
tory. There was o batter spirit and
temper in the country and greater
willingness for cooperation and mu-
tual help. If they could get through
the next year without industrial stop
page they might look forward with
hope and confidence, Mr.. Baldwin said.

Grandmother Has
Entered College

Liberty, Mo-, Dec. 29.-Mrs. Mary
A. Church, grandmother, has en-
tered William Jewell College in Lib
erty after the flame of desire for q
college education had burned with
unfaltering determination for more
than thirty-five years. Mrs. Church,
who has five grown children and five
grandchildren, matriculated with her
two sons, c. A. Church, 18 years old,
and James M. Church, 10. A grand
child, George w. Billings, 6, attends
school in Neosha, Wis.
Finishing high school in Detroit,
Mich, in 1885, Mrs. Church, then a
girl in her teens, longed for further
education. Continuous illness III her
family made it compulsory for the
girl to help support her family fcl-
lowing her graduation.
But it was not long before more
important responsibilities claimed
her, the girl marryingDr. Frank
Church, young Baptist minister.
When the children came the young
mother was too busy caring for them
to be active in her efforts to obtain
the college education. The mother
and her two sons entered college here
as freshmen this year.

Remedies for Unemployment

Geneva, Dec. ga recommends
tion that an international conference
be called to consider remedies for un-
employment was adopted by the Third
International Labor Conference re-
Gently held here. The conference also
favored further consideration of the
question of establishing an eight-hour
day for farm labor and also of wider
adoption Of the half holiday on Satur-
days, known as the English week."
OF the seven conventions adopted
three dealt with farm labor. One of
these provided that children under ID
can be employed on farms only out
side of school hours. Another would
give the farm hands the right of or
ganization enjoyed by industrial
workers. A third convention would
extend to them rights to indemnities
for accidents arising out of their en-
ployment, as enjoyed by other work
ers.
Two Of the conventions applied to
seamen, one forbidding the employ
ment in bunkers and stokeholds of
boys less than 18 years old and the
other requiring yearly examination
of every youth under 1s employed on
ship.
Another convention adopted pro-
vides for minimum rest period of
"a hours in all industrial establish
ments every week, wherever possible
on the same day.
These were in addition to a conven-
ton for bidding the use Of white lead
and sulphate of lead in interior dec
Grafton, as cabled at the time of it's
adoption. The conference also adopt
ed recommendation to protect women
employed on farms before and after
child birth, for; the proper housing of
farm hands, for instruction in seien-
tific agriculture and application to
them Of laws providing pensions when
they become i'll or old.

"Illicit peddlers of whiskey use

in some cases and this very injurious
if taken in any quantity, acting as a
heart depressent," the chemist de-
clared.
M. E. Curtis, proprietor of the
Chemical Laboratol les, advises the
present day drinker to "analyze well
before using" Traces of adultera
tion that clip year after year from a
life have been found in almost every
bottle of alleged bonded liquor he
has analyzed, he asserted.
ut is true a portion of the contents
of most bottles is pure bonded whis-
key. That gives it the color, flavor
and taste," Curtis added. "But the
good liquor is mixed with ingredients

the minds of those who come to me
for analysis of their liquor is how to
remove the ingredients and leave the

Organizations of Farmers

Pittsburgh, Dec. 29.-Townspeople
and farmers must put themselves in an
attitude of making concessions or as
an alternative, cooperative stores es-
tablished by combinations of farmers
will ultimately drive local merchants
out of the business, John M. Gillette
IF the University of North Dakota
told the members of the American So
Geological Society at it's annual meet
ing here today.
"That organizations Of farmers has
intensified the strife between city and
country is geenrally recognized by
students of the subject" continued
DR.. Gillette. "To often the blame is
attached exclusively to the farmers as
if they have no rights of self-protec-
tion. 1t is not always perceived that
the business elements of cities have
been organized as a profit-getting
class for long time and that the ten
dency is for all these elements to pre-
sent united front when ameliora-
tive agricultural legislation is pro-
posed or when farmers attempt coop
erative enterprises.
eff the farmers are right in their
contentious that they received an un-
duly small proportion of the proceeds
from their produce, then they have a
right to organize both economically
and politically to protect. their inter
ests. But be it remembered that their
cooperative efforts evoke about as
much hostility as do their political at
tempts.
"There are many directions for
farmers and townsmen to take in their
teamwork together. Good roads are
mutually desirable. Both sides have
g common interest in promoting local
industries. They make nearby mar
kets for certain kinds of farm produce
and serve as the basis of diversified
farming.
"Since it is chiefly over matters Of
trade that country and town are ar
rayed against each other, the question
arises IS to how they can compose
their differences. The local merchant
insists that farmers and other con-
sumers should patronize home indus
tries and grow quite bitter over buy
ing from mail order houses. The
farmer, in turn, insists that local
prices Of the things he buys are too
high and for things he sells, too low.
"If both sides will be sensible and
fair, there is basis of compromise;
but townsmen and farmers must put
themselves in the attitude of making
concessions. The farmers should not
be expected to sacrifice all Of their
gains from buying from mail order
houses, for example; nor should they
expect small merchants to meet the
prices of such huge and efficient es-
Establishments. The merchant should
be willing to cut prices and farmers
to pay margin for local convenience.
"The alternative would appear to be
the development of cooperative stores
by farmers that will ultimately drive
local mechants out of business. The
latter would become managers of and
sales men in such undertakings. This
would remove the reason for strife"
