PUBLIC SCHOOL AND FARM.


 New Jersey IS experimenting in bringing the public schools into touch with farm needs. This winter a special course in agriculture is being given in some of the high schools for the benefit boys and girls who cannot attend school throughout the entire year and who desire instruction in farm subjects specifically This farm division will hold it's sessions from Nov. 20 to Mar. 20, the months when things are problems of the region-crops soils. live stock and the marketing of produce. The afternoons are spent in the study of English and arithmetic with the application of both to farm topics In addition eacb pupil IS given some improvement project carry out at home involving modern methods
 It is to be noted that this work is not intended 10 interfere with the regulation schooling of the child preliminary to the high school grades but is an exten sion course especially devised for older pupils who leased for part-time work
 Thus far public schools generally have taken little note of the wide demand for instruction in agriculture They have prepared both boys and girls for other in dustres and professions but have overlooked the funda mental one. It is an oversight which should be rem edied in all localities.

 There is doubt that tie handling of small securities by reputable banking would in terest the small investor who feels that the banks nave no interest in him.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 13.-
Brief resume of the progress of the
fight against intoxicating liquor
throughout the world, formed part of
the formal opening of the W. C.. T. U.
world convention here today. Miss
Anna A. Gordon, vice-president of the
world union presided.
Reports read by Miss Agnes E.
Slack, of England, honorary secretary,
mentioned France and Italy as being
especially difficult countries for the in
PRODUCTION of propaganda due to the
large number of people earning liveli-
hoods from the wine and liquor indus
tries. Sunday in Italy was referred to
as the drinking day of the week.
Austria and Germany, ana the Near
East, were reported as coming to a
more favorable attitude toward prohi-
bition. Local option in Scotland, and
government control of the liquor traf-
fic in Canada, have also done a great
deal to lessen the drink evil, the re-
port stated.
Iceland has a peculiar problem. in
that its main industry, fishing, depends
on Spanish trade and Spain insists
that its wine be disposed of in Iceland,
in return for the maintenance Of the
fish markets.

Harvester company, has been trans
ferred to the Indianapolis branch, says
an announcement Monday. He will
assume his duties at once.
The departure of Mr.. Brookbank was
received with regret in business

ergy in behalf of civic and community
affairs.
Mr.. Brookbank became executive
head of the Richmond branch three
years ago. quickly energizing all its
departments, enlisting the cooperation
of his associates, and winning the
commendation of officials in the main
office of the International company.

were benefited by his judgment. Busi-
ness men gave unstinted praise to the
breadth of his views and his organiz-
ing ability. Mr.. Brookbank was presi-
dent of the Country club, member Of
the Rotary and Elks clubs, and active
ly engaged in many civic activities.
c. W.. Dumfey, of Springfield, Ill,

diana. Mr.. Brookbank was preparing
to leave for Indianapolis tonight or
Tuesday.

NEW VICTIM ADDED
in POISON CONSPIRACY
(RY United Pressl

CHICAGO, Nov. ia new victim
Of arsenic poisoning was discovered
today by police as they investigated
the activities of Mrs. Tillie Klimek
aud Mrs. Nellie Sturmer, held in con
nection with the deaths OF their hus-
bands.
The latest victim was discovered In
a Chicago hospital. He lived in the
neighborhood in which the two alleged
women "Blue Boards" resided. Au
thorities believed the new evidence
strengthened their theory that gi.
gantic poison ring conspiracy extended
among wives in that section.
The women, they contend, obtained
husbands through matrimonial bu
reaus, had their lives insured and then
killed them through slow arsenic poi
soning.
Three OF II bodies to be exhumed
have already shown traces of arsenic
poisoning. Three others are now be
ing tested by chemists, and the other
six will be taken from the ground
this week. All II were closely con
nected with the two women now held
and their deaths were under mysten
Gus circumstances.

TROUBLE WITH new
TURBINE IS CAUSED
BY IMPURE WATER

Trouble with the new 5000 kilowatt
turbine of the municipal light plant,
which had caused officials TO have the
machine dismanled, was located Mon
day. The gradual falling off in ef-
ficiency of the machine in the past
few weeks has been due to the quality
of water used, it was stated.
Steam going through the turbine has
carried considerable deposits of sew
age with it. The sewage was picked
up when the water taken from the
river was put into the boilers. Nor
mally, the filtering methods provided
to clear the water would take care Of
this deposit, but the past few weeks
have been SO dry that considerable
amounts were carried through and
formed an organic deposit on the buck
cts of the turbine. .s
The result was that steam ssxas
going through the machine without ex-
erting its full turning effect.
Repairs Cost $4,000.
Approximately $4,000 will be expend-
ed in putting the turbine into first
class condition. In the meantime other
machines in the plant are carrying the
load.
Plans of the city officials are to in
stall spray pond and a filtering sys-
tenn at cost of $4,000. When this in
stallation is completed it will insure
an adequate supply of pure water to
the plant at all times, without the
necessity of depending on the rainfall
and varying flow of the river
The spray pond will cool the water
once it has been admitted to the plant
and it may be used again
