The Middlebury Register contrib
utes a sidelight on the brutal attack
by an lSyear old paroled inmate of
the industrial school on a defenseless
woman in the village of West Add
son recently. The contemporary, in
substantiating the claim of attempted
robbery as the basis for the attack,
says that the boys cupidity had been
aroused through the action of the hus-
band of the woman in displaying his
bank book, which action induced the
youth of abnormal mentality to devel-
op the theory that there must be
money where the bank book was kept.
Hence the attack on the wife in her
home and the purpose to secure the
supposed hoard of money. OF course,
the unwsdom of the act of displaying
the evidence of wealth Ito a certain
degree, at leastl has struck home to
the man lohS oeloie thlsi put inc "a
perience may prove valuable to Others
who may find themselves in similar
situations. The lesson from the ex
perience is never to permit persons Of
abnormal mentality or of criminal pro
pensities to receive the mental sug.
gestion, which may lead to crime. A
bank book carelessly displayed is only
one means of such mental suggestion.

UNIVERSITY PLANS 100
FARM BUSINESS SCHOOLS

The university, cooperating with
county farm bureaus, is planning a
series Of about 100 farm, business
schools in country districts Of Min
nesota the coming winter. The uni
versity will be. represented by w. L.
Cavert, farm management specialist,
and c G. Worsham Of the farm man
agement department. Not more than
three schools will be allowed any
county until all counties have had
opportunity to secure the work.
More than ever, in view Of prevail-
ing low prices, farmers need to study
their business. Costs of production
must be trimmed and the farm bust
ness in general adjusted to meet pre-
vailing conditions. Studies to be taken
up at these schools will concern the
costs of production of wheat, corn
butterfat, potatoes, hogs, cattle, ETC.,
and the means by which the farmer
may increase his net returns.
Those interested in having such
schools for their community should
apply to their county agent,
