Senator Dolliver as chairman of the
Cpmmltfee on education and labor is
trying to work ont a scheme of corre-
lating' i he rural schools with the agri-
cultural colleges, to which the govern-
ment now contributes a considerable
snip for maintenance, says a Wash-

the country schools ought to teach in
addition to’the regular courses practi-
cal and theoretical agriculture.
To carry out his Idea Senator Dolli-
ver. hopes to introduce a bill soon. The
plan probably will involve some sort
of encouragement from the national'
government to induce states to organ-
ize their country schools in such man-
ner as to bring abont co-operation
with the higher institutions.

He has figured out that if the boys will
do this none will arrive at the age of
twenty-uue years without having
enough to take them through college
or give them a good start in life.
Mr. Saucerman is reputed to be
wprtb >1,500,000. The new organiza

be known as “the trimmer band.” To
demonstrate his earnestness be has de-
posited in the name of “the trimmer

The plan as outlined by Mr. Saucer-
man is to take boys from the age of
nine to sixteen and organize them into
plants or companies of fifty or a hun-
dred. He would have these boys bold
monthly meetings, at which time they
would discuss and be taught econoipy,
finance and how to earn money, clean
living and everything in line with in-
dustry and morals. Each boy on join-
ing the club will receive >1. The boy
must deposit with his dollar 50 cents
to show good faith. Starting his bank
account with >1.50, each boy will re-
ceive a penny per day for three years,
and at the end of that period he will
receive an additional >1. This will
give him >12 if be has not saved a
cent himself. He urges,all boys to
save their nickels and dimes so as to
be prepared to start life right.
The pledge each boy takes on joining
“the trimmer band” is to abstain from
“tobacco in any form, intoxicating
liquors, gambling of any kind and pro-
fane and slang language." ,
Mr. Saucermap has already organiz-
ed one club in Des Moines. He is not
going to be content with accepting the
boys who will come to him. On the
contrary, he has hired out of his own
pocket a state organizer, who is to

The operation begins exactly in the
same manner as the familiar operation
for appendicitis, but Instead of remov-
ing the organ the surgeon threads it
through the various layers of mus-
cle in the abdominal wall and attaches
it to the skin. It Is then opened, and
by a tube passed through it any nec-
essary medicine can be applied direct-
ly to the mucous membrane of the
lower intestines.
The appendix, it is said, may safely
be left open in this position because

"Mr. Pierce,” again said the court,
“those remarks are highly improper
and the court will not permit you to
make them.’’
“Gentlemen,'’ the court said, turn-
ing to the jury, “there Is nothing to
the evidence upon which the charge
against the governor can be baaed."

Gold to His Captors.
Oscar T. Nelson, formerly of Belling-
ham, Wash., recently wrote to relatives
in* Spokane, Wash., from Fairbanks,
Alaska, that by killing a bull moose
near Fairbanks creek he and his part-
ners, Washburn and Johnson, pros-
pectors, have come into a fortune by
the discovery of a vein of gold uncov-
ered by the long horn of the moose in
its death struggle.
The animal was shot from a blind at
a distance of 150 yards, the first bul-
let striking a vital spot. While quar-
tering the tuoose Nelson discovered
that the rpek wk ?h had been exposed
from tinder a layer of moss torn loose
by the animal bore gold in large quan-
titles.
The hunters made a closer investiga-
toward her is one of kindly interest tlon and immediately staked out sev-
and helpfulness. 1 . __2

the endeavor to get service, but it
can truly be said that in ninety-nine

is trying to perform her duty con-
scientiously and • efficiently She is
engaged in an occupation, the duties
of which are at all times exacting
and often nerve-racking, and to add
to her difficulties by impatiently
chiding her is unjust, If not cruel.
It can be truthfully said that in

shown on the part of male patrons
towards the operators; not only this,
but it would prove a revelation to
the. general public if on a Christina ■
morning they could see the great
profusion of gifts sent to the central
offices to be distributed among the
operators as tokens of appreciation
from pleasej customers.
The fact remains; howtever, that
numbers of people continue to give
voice to their dissatisfaction by
"roasting” the operator, and it is to
these we appeal to consider twice be-

sold at front 12 1-2 to 2U cents a
pound. In a pound of butter there te
approximately five-sixths of a pound
of butter fat, so those who sell but-
ter at 12 1-2 cents a pound are not
only losing the work required in
i making the butter, but they are ac-
tually selling the finished product for
I less
than they can sell the same amount
of butter fat for.—Record and Chron-

tax laws that ever were or will be
passed, the present one having done
little mere than causing "lease’''

is not as popular in Texas as it once
was, due very much to the law and
a public sentiment. The difficulty
about stopping the practice by law
