The American Farmer says that
down in Oklahoma farmers are form-
ing "acre clubs," each member tak-
ing one acre for an experimental
crop, doing his best with it, and
when the saason is over reporting
his experience, inclusive of mistakes,
and describing his methods. This
is the most practical form of agri-
cultural education and the plan
might well be adopted elsewhere
Few farmers are so skilled in agri-
cultural science that they cannot
learn something from their asso-
ciates. The Oklahoma plan is a kind
of extension of the experiment sta-
tion, a reproduction in miniature of
the individual farm of the principles
governing the stations. It is a most
excellent idea and if generally car-
ried out will prove a great educa-
tional benefit.
Governor John A. Johnson c f
Minnesota, who seems to be the
principal rival of Mr. Bryan for the
Democratie nomination talks like a
true Democrat. In an interview in
Chicago last Wednesday he said:
"I know nothing of my strengih in
other States. I have done little to-
ward a campaign. I understand
that Minnesota will send a solid
delegation for me. I have received
many letters Irom prominent citi-
zens urging ma to put myself active-
ly in the fietd fot the Presidency.
However, if the party decides that
Mr. Bryau can better represent it in
the field for the Presidency, I will
be one of his strongest supporters.
There are some of his policies I do
not believe in, but I would be ready
to support him on other grounds.
We are warm personal friends."

It is with feelings of regret that
the writer chronicles the death of

Lange, last Sunday evening. The
funeral took place the following day.
In the absence of Rev. Letterman,

To the weeping parents the writer
extends hii sincere sympathy.

As years passed on Mr. Brown
saw less and less of his knee?, or,
plainer still, his stomach got so big
that be couldn't see his knees.
Therefore he eyed liis one dress suit
with misgiving, but the invitation to
the ball being accepted he must go.
It was with uneasy gait and sweat-
ing of the forehead that he took his
wife's arm in the first waltz. "I'm
sure something will give way,' he
whispered. "It has," he groaned as
a rip reached his ears, and he felt a
draught to his skin.
'Come into the cloakroom,'' snap

Poor Brown took off his ballroom
suit and watched the mending anx-
iously.
"Good gracious!" he yelled,
"there are two young ladies coming
in here. I must hide some where."
'Don't be a fool, Robert. Slip
through this door and I'll guard it."
He passed through and she closed
the door quickly. But in a second
she heard a knock at the door and
heard him say:

attitude of our people towards
education. County Superintendent
Klaerner spoke on the subject of
education, explaining its usefulness
and importance in this world, also
how Texas rankec' with her sister
states, and Washington county with
the other counties. He advocated
the district system, claiming the
people misunderstood it two years
ago, hence, blindly rejected it.
Prof. J. E. Willis, of Chappell
Hill, who seeks the office of county
superintendent at the hands of the
suffragans, addressed the assemblge
on the topic, "Aims of the Public
Schools," eaying that its aims were
manifold, and the vocation was
noble. The results of the teachers

to be the feature of the occasion.!
