Western Methods Win
in Culture of. Rice
By his persistence Dr. Frank Gear-
hart, Ames (Iowa) college man, has
triumphed in the Philippine* over
the custom of centuries. He has
planted and harvested a rice crop
with the use of machinery instead
of the almost unaided human hand.
The native method is to plant stalk
by stalk and harvest in the same
way; tying the stalks into bundles,
stacking the bundles and then
thrashing out the grain by tram-
pling or flaying the heads and win-
nowing. This may be done on a
floor or on a bare spot in a field,

TO THE VOTERS OF THE FIF
TEENTH CONGRESSIONAL
The gross misrepresentations
being made concerning me as
well as my record in Congress
by opposition, justifies me in re
questing my friends to be dili-
gent in my behalf; besides the
opposition, has unlimited mon-
ey and is using it in the most
viscious and unscrupulous man
ner. m
In Pennsylvania they hired
what were called "watchers"
at $10. per day. My opposi-
tion has a number of people go-
ing over the district circulating
literature in which my position

slightest foundation in fact." 1
have been in Congress twenty
four years and have had a num
ber of opponents both Demo-
cratic and Republican—this is
the first time these indefensible
methods have been resorted to.
and I am fearful that some of
the people, who do not know
me, might be misled—therefore

Thanking you for your con-

Work of Education Bureau
The bureau of education surveys
the fields of education, conducts con-
ferences on problems in education
through field trips and lectures by
staff specialists, publishes bulletins
and leaflets on education, maintains
the largest exclusively educational
library in the world, promotes an
annual American educational week,
bringing public attention to the
schools and their needs; promotes
adult education, communicates di-
rectly with school administrators
and officers of educational institu-
tions who seek information or ad-
vice, and administers a system of 85
schools for the natives of Alaska,
with an enrollment of 3,912 pupils.
Spanish Child Prodigy
Eleven-year-old Hildegarde Fer-
nandez Carballeira, who matricu-
lated at the University of Madrid
at the age of eeven, ha* now finished
three at the necessary courses for the
bachelor of arts degree. Hilde-
garde is credited with having learned
to read at the age of eleven months.
Her latest triumph was a special ses-
sion of the Federated Society for the
Protection of Animal* and Plants,
convoked to award her individual
honors. The royal princesses Bea-
trix and Cristina presided, and de-
livered to the child prodigy a spe-
cial prize for attainment in litera-
ture.
Sheep Hard to Kill
A full-grown, mountain-bred
sheep got Into a coal truck near the
Glenavon colliery, Port Talbot, Gla-
morgan, Wales. Unaware of the
animal’s presence, workers “shot”
ten tons of coal into the truck, says
the London Mail.
Thirteen days later, when the
truck was being unloaded at Swan-
sea, trimmers heard a bleat and eaw
two small eyes looking up from the
bottom of the truck. The sheep,
blackened by the coal, was brought
out, still alive.
Long Effort Rewarded
It seems possible to resuscitate a
victim of coal gas poisoning after
49 hour* of unconsciousness. This
new time record was reported re-
cently from Covington, Ky., when
the police life saving squad No. 1
