President of State University Says Agriculture Pays Bet- ter Than the Law. Columbia, Mo., May 9.—President Jesse, of Missouri University, thinks that young men ought to study agri- culture in preference to law or medi- cine. In a recent publication he saye: Unless a boy has a deep-seated pref- erence for some other profession it does not seem to me wise for him to ignore the great opportunities that agriculture offers, whether he was born in the country or in the city. “In my opinion no other occupa: tion offers so rich rewards, all things considered, as agriculture offers to those who are willing to train them- selves for it as earnestly and intelli- gently as they would train them- selves for law or medicine. “Lia boy will put the same amount of time and study into his training for agricu!ture that he would put in- to his training for law or medicine he will in the great majority of cases make more money, eajoy greater freedom, better health and develop stronger character.” FORMER JUDGE GOES TO PRISON William H. Becker Convicted of Fraud in Conducting Bank at Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., May 8.—William H. Becker, who was ouce a judge of acircuit ourt in Dakota, was sen- tenced yesterday in the criminal court’ to two yearsin the peniten- tiary. He, William H. Caufield and J. T. Morrow opened a bunk on Southwest boulevard, called the Mutual Benefit Bank. ‘They were convicted of re- ceiving deposits when they knew the bank was insolvent. Judge Wolford yesterday sentenced Becker and granted Canfield a new trial. A new trial was granted to Morrow some time ago. In sentene- fog Becker the Judge said: Barnum was right when he said people loved to behumbugged. You could go right across the street there in that old frame shack and put a sign up, ‘Bank, One Jillion Dollars Capital,’ and have a check book and @ man inside making lines in red ink, and before night you'd have deposits. ~ Now, you tried to run a bank on wind and talk and 1 must make an example of you. Tam going tu cen- tence you. Canfield is a country boy who knew no more of banking than | he did of the musie of the stars. You have been a lawyer and a judge and knew better.” Consumption The only kind of consump- tion to le is “neglected consumption.” People are learning that con- sumption is a curable disease.
