The worst charge which has been made against the agricultural colleges has been that as graduates-farmers their pupils could command a better salary for special service among farm- ers than they could equal by cultivat- sng 1and. It is now averred that this &s mot so. It is shown that the Min- nesota asricultural college graduated 03 students a few days ago, and it < said that at least 75 per cent. of them will return to thelr farms, and percentage may Ds increased to S5.

There is need of just such men on the farms, =nd they arelearning that farm spe- eialties are becomins more and more profitable all the time. MILLIONS OF HOGS LESS. There are millions of hogs who might easily be ed, but they are the hogs of the parior Dot of the pen. There is a great shortage in pork and §t is possible that prices may go still trigher The Cincinnati Price Current's sum- mary of the pork packing for the past vear shows 2 falling off of more than iwo miMfion pigs in the summer pack- and nearly three mfilions In the wsinter packing, making a decrease for She year of a Mttle less than five mil- lion pigs.

The Capltal says: “Tge New England states have the factories, Iowa Has the corn, beef, but- ter, pork, eggs, etc. New England waits high prices for what she sells and low prices for what she buys. There has been a faction in the Work working harmoniously with the Naw England contingent and we want to Jnow if that relationship s to con- tinue. The public wants to know also. In Iowe the issue ought to be in re- gation to continuing the good prices now paid for all our products. In a Tecent election in Massachusetts the people voted to continde their own prices and reduce ours. What popu- larity would a man have in Massa- chusetts provided he went on the stump susgesting lower prices for boots and shoes? Such a man would not get very far. Yet every man on the stump in lowa Who proposes to re-open the tariff question will either knowingly or otherwise be working in the interest of New England. The farmers might as well begin to think these things over. “Is mot Towa prosperity worth fight- ing for?” This shows how sectional tariff is- ues are, and that we must stand or all together on this issue as present- a FAHMING VACANT LOTS. A remarkable work is being done by the Philadelphia Vacant Lots associ- tion in providing “farms” for persons who wish to raise their own garden truck. There are at present about 450 families who are now raising vegeta- Dbles on the vacant lots in the city. They whl stpply food to. about 3,000 persons, Enough ground is gvaliable to prowdds for about 1,000 families if the asdociation had the money to de- velop it. At present when the cost of living 1s so great these little plots solve the | fo0d problem for hundreds of families. The ground is plowed and placed in | shapa for planting, they are given such.eced as may be necessary and the only cost is one dollar for the firstagear and for five sucteeding years.

People of {mmall incomes could advance their own interests in this way surprisingly if they would bestir themselves. EDITORIAL NOTES. Andrew Carnegie should not get an- ery at his time of life if he expects live to be a hundred. Carnegie says: “Politics made Pitts- burg rotten!” Pray what made poli- ics the yeast of corruption? The cheap rose-bushes get set out 0 early that Arbor day, hereabouts, appears to lack genuine interest. The New York minister who de- clared “Hell is right here!” recognized that no one needs go far to find it. Nebraska not only has its cyelones, but it is able right now to point to a million-dollar loss by a prairie fire. ‘While Roosevelt doesn’t mind he cannot fail to notice that the repre- sentatives of the Vatican are explain- ing. . : total-abstainers are coneidera- bly annoyed nowadays by the experts who testify that water is not fit to drink Happy thought for today: The man who doesm't own an automobile is not annoved by the increasing price of gasoline.

Headimg the Bet of entertainers is Miss Trene Franklin, conceded the.queen of vau- 8cville, assisted by Burt Green. in | The whistle of the factory emitted a series of deafening shrieks, the roar of ithe machinery gradually subsided and the huge doors were thrown open as a weary stream of humanity came forth from the gloomy walls into the dim twilight of the spring night. “There goes our Lady Betty, head up in the air, as usual" shouted one of the factory hands, as a tall, intelligent looking girl made her way hurriedly through the crowd. ‘“Look at the color in her face. She's mad clean through. ‘Wonder what's happened now.” “To these and similar remarks the lady referred to paid no attention, ex- cept to cast a glance of withering scorn upon her fellow employes. FHow she hated it all—the dusty, noisy factory, the roar of the machinery, the stifling air, and most of all the big, blowsy foreman who was in charge. The color surged higher in her cheeks as she thought of the insuits he had offered her only that day. How she longed,to get away from it all! She felt déep in her heart that here she was out of her sphere; she knew that she was fitted for better things. Betty’s one ambition was to write. She had fully intended to become an author some day. and with this end in view she had read everything within reach, and had scoured the libraries of the town, in the endeavor to improve her mind, and certainly there was not a_more intelligent girl in town than she. While walking home this spring evening she made a resolution. She would leave home and go to the city. Mother and the boys would take cate of things at home, and in the ecity she could work and support herself and study besides. Perhaps there she would Tealize her ambition. “Two weeks lated found Betty behind the counter in a department store in the city. Ah, but she had little dream- ed of the difficultles to be encountered. Graduaily her rosy dreams of the city faded amd she became disilusioned. More than once her heart cried out for home and the dear ones there, but she struggled ®ravely on, determined to win. With many misgivings was her first manuscript sent on_its journey, and Betty thought her heart must break when it came back, refected, with the usual thanks. ‘“They wil accept my work; they must,” she cried angrily. and straightway proceeded to despatch another article to the editor of a pop- ular magazine. Jt was a really merito- rious production, and Betty screamed for joy when she saw It in print. “Now my tareer has begun” she murmured happily, “and I know I will be a suceess, even if it takes years to accomplish. The folks at home may Jaugh at me, but I will show them what 1 can do.” She thought of the Iitle home in the factory town and of the heavy mort- gage encumbering it, and how hard it had been somotimes to scrape toguther LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. an Who Smi A Repub Mr. Eaitor: T have not been able to stop smiing stnce T read in “Tues- day morning's Buletin that Mayor Lippitt had appointed Arthur E. Story to succeed Gilvert W. Raymond 78 a member of the board of gas and elec- tric commissioners that he might not appear to be prompted by partisan mo- tives. Mr. Raymond was as capable of continuing in the place as Mr. Story is of taking the office and they are both democrats. What advantage a democrat of no experience has over a democrat of one term of service I do not know. Perhaps Mr. Raymond was all for Thaver, and Mr. Story only a 1fttle_for Thayer, and prejudice was satisied and a political move made, perhaps. in hoves to get an Increased complinientary democratic vote for the republican nominee for state treasurer next fall, I cannot make anything Hike non-partisanism out of it; but it does 100k like very weak republican- ism. If our republican mayors are not Zoing to make the most of opportunity for their party instead of for them- selves, what do they amount to? Per- haps Mr. Story was regarded as non- partisan’ because he was a brother banker. It doesn’t make any differ- ence what he was selected for—a straight republican would have tend- ed to have put a little more enthusi- asm into the party, and it would have left a good rather than a bad taste in the months of the republicans. < _ A STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN. Norwich, April 5, 1910. For the Farmers. jThe old method of transporting farm prc ce was by horse and wagon, and sometimes it took a whole week to Jjourney from farm to market and home again. ‘Then came the railroads, and the farm wagon journey was materlally shontened. Now the truck farmer of Long Island @nds other sections within twenty or Hfty or seventy-five or one hundred miles of the big cities are using auto- mobile trucks to transport their farm and garden produce. A 45-herse power truck can be rolled along at the rate of ten or fifteen miles an hour and experience has taught the Long Island farmers that this is the chespest way of traneporting their products to the stores of the retailers and the homes of the consumers. It is said that over 1,000 such yehi- cles bave been purchased by Long Island farmers during the last year and that 2,000 additional trucks have been ordered to be dellvered during the ear- ly_spring months. If this new method of transportation continues to be popular and proves to be a saving in expense it promises to cut materially into the receipts of the railroad companies.—New Haven ‘Times-Teader Vaudéville first nighters will get their initial view of “The Photo Shop,” Jesse L.

Ten years had passed. That they had brought trouble and care to Betty could be seen by the deep lines traced on the intellectual forehead and around the sensitive mouth. But with the trouble had come something else— success. Seldom did an article go now from her hands which was mnot ac- cepted, and she was known and nd- mired ‘throughout the city.

They say she was enly a factory girl ten years ago.” “Well, her environments at that time were certainly not those calculated to inepire ambition,” said Mrs. looking proudly at Betty. ‘O'he girl is a genius, that's all” 4 But Betty cared mot for the praises of the world, and that night, as she sat in the midnight train, rumbling nosily toward the little home town, she thought only of the words of love from the dear mother and the boys, and of their pride in her; and thinking fhese things she was conscious of a great peace descending upon her soul, for at st she had reaMzed her ambi- Boston Post.
