KEEPING THE KIDS ON THE
FARM

Out near Chickashaw, OKLA, there's
little station-and by this time prob
ably post office-called Lyle. Near
by are three Lyle children on the $50
acre farm who show no enthusiasm
for learning to become white-collared
city folks. The story runs like this:
There was Tennessee farm boy who
did things lust like dad" and stayed
just as poor as dad was. There was
girl, an orphan, who grew up being
waited on in her sisters home. Then
the girls father asked her to join him
on Texas ranch. 1T was 81 miles
from town." she laughs in retrospect"
and had to cook or starve, and keep
nice house or live in filth. BY and
by the boy and girl became Mr.. and
Mrs. Bob Lyle, and tried farming on
a big scale in Oklahoma.
But we liked to work our fool
selves to DEATH" recalls Bob. And.
nine months of the year | was kept
busy feeding 20 farm hands and bal
ing the hay CROP" says his wife, land
when the bottom dropped out of the
hay market, and the war took all our
labor, we decided we'd let the hogs
do the baling and save me the cook
ing"
At one time they made a record
shipment of % cars, filed with $3.50
head of hogs. They brought $4,000
and the Lyles felt proud until they
happened on sale of pure bred hogs
where 80 head sold for more than
$4,000. Then and there the Lyles
discarded all faith in old-fashioned
methods. They substituted high-bred
pigs and treated them with the con-
sideration due to breeding. That
they're succeeding financially is evil
denced by the fact that three sales
last year netted $4,000.
Mrs. Lyle is the business manager
of the firm, carrying all correspond
ence, keeping the books, working up
pedigrees (Which for human folks had
always fascinated her), and doing
some clever advertising. At the fairs,
where Lyle pigs are carrying off prizes,
there's funny booklet always for dis
tribution. 1t is called "Pig Tales"
and the long braids of hair on four
girls spell out Leave it to Lyle" In
side are scraps of Mr.. Lyle's humorous
philosophy turned into sales argu-
ments.
And the little Lyles? Each one had
a pure bred pig sold him or her on
interest. At the end Of the year they
u
off their notes and start them in
business that at the end of five years,
their mother estimates, should give
each the equivalent of 5000 pigs
worth So each!

Neuv Refrigeration Idea

Freezing with carbon dioxide is a
new method of fish refrigeration being
tested at the Atlantic biological sta
ton in Canada. according to reports
received by the American Chemical
cociety. The use of solid carbon di-
oxide, it is asserted, has several adj
Vantages. The lowering of tempera-
ture by this means retards spelling,
and the cooling can be controlled with
in wide limits. The carbon dioXide
also excludes the air while the pene-
tration of the juices of the fish by car
bon dioxide gas has an additional pre-
servative effect. Weight for weight
solid carbon dioxide has twice the
cooling power OF artificial ice, and it
is believed that the cost of production
can be kept down to about the same
figure,

LEGISLATORS AS HOME
KEEPERS

For years progressive women have
been resenting the dictum that their
place is in the home, but a brilliant
man recently remarked, once out Of
the home the worthwhile ones all
turn instinctively to home affairs.
There's the case, for instance, of the
first woman in the Texas legislature
When Edith Wilmans took her seat
last winter there was a wall of Gus
tom, an impalpable but apparently i'm
passable barrier between her, "the
woman messing in politics. and the
rest of the legislators. 1t took Just
three weeks of her sunshiny DISPOSE
ton and calm determination to do her
work well to dissipate the miasma.
1t seems a bit absurd to chronicle
this first, but she did not try to stop
the men members from their imme-
mortal privileges of smoking and put
ting their feet on their desks. IF she
kept on being feminine, she felt. she
owed it to the men not to interfere
with their being masculine.
She brought in the bills on which
she had won her campaign by a ma
jority of 1900, and gained solid sup
port for them. To accomplish this so
quickly she must have had good prep
aration, you say. She had.
AS the wife of lawyer, she grew
interested while her three children
were at school in the difficulty of hav-
ing good schools without good school
laws. She took up the study OF law
with her husband, who later died so
that her five years of active law prac-
tice was necessary as well as good
training.
OF the four hundred cases she tried.
with the loss of only two, a large pro-
portion dealt with women and chill
dren. Mrs. Wilmans successfully es-
capped being swamped in divorce cases
with which the Dallas courts ara
clicked But the very necessity drove
her to put in as one of her first Iegis-
lative bills, one for the establishment
of a domestic relations court. Her
other bills were to modify the mothers
pension law, to raise the compulsory
school attendance age to eighteen, and
to require health certificate from
both persons before issuance of a mar
rage license. Years of experience as
q member of the third house." or nm
paid lobbyist for welfare measures.

tors. Even her opponents now ac-
knowledge that she can honestly love
her home first, and yet make a bril-
liant success as legislator.

SCHOLAR NOTED FOR
HIS ECCENTRICITIES
Many Amusing Stories Are
Told of Doctor Spooner.

The retirement of Rev. DR.. w. A.
Spooner, the distinguished English his
torian, who has been successfully fell
low, tutor and warden of New college.
Oxford, has caused an outburst of
anecdotes in the British press, for Doc
tor Spooner's habit of interchanging
letters or syllables. with results that
were sometimes very amusing. is ia
nous wherever Oxford men are found.
Indeed, the fame of "Spoonerisms"
eclipsed his very considerable fame as
scholar, much to the ironic amuse-
ment of the victim himself
There is a good deal of doubt as to
the authenticity of many anecdotes
told about Doctor Spooner. but at least
the noun "Spoonerism" is enshrined
officially in the New English dictionary:
"Spoonerism IF. the name of Rev.
w. A. Spooner-1S4N. An accidental
transposition of the initial sounds or
other parts of two or more words"
and Oxford slang has known the word
joyfully for 80 years.
iSrlS is said to have been uttered in a
sermon which Doctor Spooner preached
at Oxford "Ah, brethren" he said,
"are you never conscious Of a half
warmed fish within the breast?" Who
would recognize in that extraordinary
sentence "half-formed wish?" 1t was
Doctor SpOo-er who, at the conclusion
of the OXf I'd celebration of Queen
Victoria's jubilees. called for three
cheers for "Our queer old dean"-an
honor which that functiOnary might
we'll have appreciated in spite of the
adjective. but which did little honor TO
the "dear old queen" for whom the
celebration was held. 1t was Doctor
Spooner also who in bicycling days is
supposed to have dismounted to boil
his icicle."
One student of New college insisted
to his dying day that the warden had
rebuked him for fighting liars" in the
quadrangle, and there is a story that
he took his history class severely to
task for "hissing all my mystery lee
lures" There is also tale Of an I'M
fortunate graduate whose waste of
time led to the accusation that he had
"tasted two whole worms" Doctor
Spooner is said on one occasion to have
read out the first line of the hymn,
"ConUuering kings their titles take"
as "Kinkering kongs their titles take"
and to have proposed the royal toast,
Gentlemen, the king" as "Kingle-
men, the gent" TO the mild dismay of
the assemblage.
Being a kind-hearted and philosophfc
person, the ex-warden of New college
finds a quiet diversion in the gradual
multiplication of anecdotes about him,
nine-tenths of which. needless to say.
are apocryphal, though none the less
amusing for that trifing fact.-From

Sentiment.

A girl rides a horse from Canada to
Washington to bring invitations to the
President, Chief Justice Taft, Sir Esme
Howard and Commissioner Rudolph to
attend at Belleville, Ontario, a celebra.
ton Of the 140th anniversary Of the
settlement Of Upper Canada. One of
the mounted policemen meets her at
the District line, and officials give her
the pleasant greeting she deserves. At
all her stopping places in Canada and
the United States along her 700-mile
ride town officers and other townsmen
gave her good cheer and glad hands.
There are persons who persist in
saying that we are a practical people,
and that this is a practical age, and
they emphasize the words in a way to
express belief that little romance and
poetry are in the people and the age.
The messenger from Canada to Wash.
ington could have made the trip in
less time and less expense in an auto
mobile, or she might have come
through on a fast train. The invita-.
tions might have been mailed in Can.
ada and delivered by a postman here.
But to make the trip on the back of
a horse was thought more expressive
of the spirit of the affair.
