OFFICIALS HOPE SEA
WILL CONVERT ZIRKLE
Midshipman Who Refused Com
mission on Battleship for
Summer Cruise.
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 5.-Ihe
case of Earl B. Zirkle of Garden City,
Kans., who yesterday upset Navy
precedent by refusing to accept MS
commission as an ensign and was
taken to sea on the battleshlp New
York in spite Of his efforts to leave the
service, will not be considered until
completion of the Summer cruise.
He will be permitted to keep his
diploma, and Secretary Wilbur and
Rear Admiral Louis M. Mutton, acade-
my Superintendent, expressed hope
that another Summer on the sea
would cause him to reconsider his de-
cision that he has mo taste for naval
life.
Zirkle attempted to refuse his diplo-
ma, but he was obliged. under orders,
to appear at the commencement eXer-
cises and received it from the hands
Of Secretary Wilbur. The comforting
of a commission upon him halted
abruptly, however, when he declined
to take the oath. While his 445 class
mates scattered to various parts of
the country for their 30-day leave OF
absence, Zirkle went aboard the bat
tleship.
Besides the New York, the battle
ships Utah and Wyoming are taking
part in the cruise, carrying more than
200 midshipmen, under command of
Rear Admiral Carl T. VogelgeSang.
The squadron will return from Guam

and his pigeon to Jonah and his
whale: the faith that's lived for ages,
expounded by the sages, they scorn,
in futile RACES, as being false ana
stale. They live in ease and splendor,
they have good grub to cook. they

slothful, they loaf the years away. and
throw their wheeZes mothful at those

India'S Farmers.

Among the S0.00O,OO0 farmers of
india little if any modern agricui-
tural equipment is used. Indian
farmers lack modern knowledge and
have small purchasing power. Most
of them cultivate farms of from to 5
acres, using the same kind of tools
their ancestors employed a thousand
years ago.
The total value of all implements
used on the ordinary farm amounts
to less than $50, the principle article
being the plow. There are about
2O,000.000 plows in use; almost all
are of the stick variety tipped with
iron.
Most of the wheat, one of India S
largest crops, is cut with a sickle or
even uprooted by hand, while the
thrashing is done by trampling the
grain under the feet of men and oxen.
