Maryville, Mo., Aug.—The charge that he padded the 1908 enrollment of the Northwest State Normal School from 330 to 416 pupils is being heard against Dr. Homer M. Cook, presi- dent, by the Board of Regents. Twelve other charges are made against him. The figures were print~ ed in the Normal Bulletin. It is charged that President Cook has absented himself from the school when his presence was needed; that ihe has charged exorbitant expense accounts to the State when traveling; |that by refusing to co-operate with the members of the faculty he has brought strife into the institution; that | but one or two faculty meetings have |been held annually and that. trivial matters were discussed at them; that the matters brought up by faculty members were ignored, to the pre- ference of trivial matters; that he has failed to keep a proper record of the school work and has failed to examine and ascertain the standing, of pupils on entrance to the school; that, after the faculty had agreed that a certain pupil should take another term's work, he issued life certificate to this pupil immediately after the faculty meeting; that he against the vote of the faculty, issued elementary certifi- cates; that by his habits of personal extravagance, insincerity and hypoc- risy, he has brought discredit to the school and set a bad example to the students.

Most varieties of apples commonly available possess the requisite amount of sugar when ripe, but not when green, cayed or over ripe, because the amount of sugar is lessened in such apples. The apples should be clean when gathered and if not, they should be made so by washing.

Baker, living north of Paris, figures that it cost him $450 to try the serum of the State Agricultural College rec- ommended as a preventive of hog cholera. j When the disease first started in his herd two weeks ago, he notified the department and a man was sent, jat State expense, to inoculate the hogs.’ The serum was used on fifty- eight of them, most all of which have since died. Mr. Baker does not consider this a, fair test of the remedy, however, | from the fact that his hogs had been | ‘exposed to the disease germs before it was used. Injected into hogs that have never been exposed, he thinks it probably would make them immune, | on the same principle that makes | vaccination a shield against smallpox. | He is of the opinion that the germs were brought to his farm by buz- zards, which fed on the carcass of a dead horse in his pasture after hav- ing fed on hogs that had died of cholera not far away. His hogs also! fed on the carcass along with the buzzards, Sam Rowe, in the same vicinity, has lost 140 hogs of all sorts and | sizes. Former Butler Citizen. Mrs. E. A. Eldridge, mother of, Frank M, Eldridge, died at his home in Tulare, Cal., on August Ist 1909. Mrs. Eldridge was an early resi- dent of Butler, where her husband was in the building and contracting business for many years, and many of the older citizens remember her as a most estimable lady of many vir- tues. The Tulare Register says of her: “The deceased was born in Buffalo, | New York, about 72 years ago. She came to California and settled in Tu- | lare five years ago, where she has; since resided. Her death came rath- er suddenly, although it was known that she could not last much longer. In the forenoon yesterday she seem- | ed to be better than she had been for | some time, but about eleven o'clock last night the nurse in attendance noticed a change for the worse and notified all her children, who came | immediately to her bedside and were | with her when the end came.

Care of Cider-Vinegar. When the acetic fermentation has gone far enough to produce 4.5 to 5 per cent of acetic acid, then the bar- rels should be made as full as possi- ble with vinegar and tightly corked, in order to prevent destructive fer- mentation of acetic acid and conse- quent deterioration of the. vinegar. Do not try to place vinegar on the market until the standard amount of acid has been reached, which can be ascertained by sending samples by prepaid express to gne of your State departments, either the Experiment Station or the Pure Food Commis- sion, Columbia, Mo. The G. A. R. Standard Stolen? Putting Apple-Juice in Barrels. When practicable, it is a good plan to store the freshly pressed apple- juice in some large covered receptacle and allow it to stand a few days, be- fore putting it into barrels. In this way considerable solid matter held in suspension will settle before the liquid is placed in casks. The casks used should be well cleaned, thor- oughly treated with live steam or boiling water, and should not be over two-thirds or three-fourths filled with apple-juice. The bungs should be left out, but a loose plug of cotton may be placed in the hole to decrease evaporation and prevent dirt and flies getting in.” The bung should be left out ustil the vinegar-making is completed.

The Chicago News in commending the progressive Republicans is guilty of unfairness toward the progressive Democrsts. It says that in recent years the progressive element in the Democratic party ‘“‘has not been of much’service in compelling progress at Washington.”’ That isa mistake; the progressive Democrats have fur- nished practically’ all the stimulus that reform has received. All the progress made has been along lines crats. The Democrats have furnished the bulk of the votes on nearly every reform proposition.
