Helena's New School of
Agriculture
The Fifth District Slate School of
Agriculture.
The Fifth District State School of
Agriculture is located at Helena, Al-
falfa county, Oklahoma, and repre-
sents the Fifth supreme judicial dis-
trict, comprising the counties of Har-
per, Ellis, Roger Mills, Beckham,
Greer, Kiowa, Washita, Custer,
Blaines, Dewey, Woodward, Major,
Garfield, Alfalfa and Woods. The
counties of Cimarron, Texas., and
Beaver, by legislative enactment,
comprise a separate district known
as the Pan-Handle agricultural dis-
trict. The management of this school
is under the supervision of the state
commission of agricultural and in-
dustrial education. The state board
of agriculture exercises a general
oversight of this and like schools
under constitutional and statutory
provisions.
Purpose.
The purpose of this school is to
afford a more practical form of edu-
cation to the boyg and girls of the
Fifth supreme judicial district than
has heretofore been at their com-
mand. Holding this purpose in view
the Fifth District State School of
Agriculture offers a useful and prac-
tical education to the boys and girls
of the farms, villages, and towns,
who are not yet prepared for true
College work or because of the lack
of time or money cannot pursue a
regular collegiate course of study.
While 110 course other than an in-
dustrial course is offered, yet com-
plete instruction under competent
teachers is provided for in arithme-
tic, algebra, geometry, history, read-
ing, bookkeeping, grammar, rhetoric,
composition, etc.
In addition to the school work it
is intended that the farm shall be
used to promote the agricultural re-
sources of the district. To carry out
this end the experiment station and
crop demonstration work will be car-
ried on with special reference to the
needs of the district.
Buildings.
The school will open in the splen-
didly equipped county high school
building which has ample accommo-
dation for a large number of stu-
dents.
Equpmcnt.
The equipment of the various de-
partments of the school looks toward
a practical application of things with
which the student is familiar. The
equipment of the department of
mathematics, English and history will
be represented in the school library;
the department of agriculture will
be equipped with necessary tools and
apparatus, in order that the subject
may be presented in the most practi-
cal way; the department of domestic
economy will be equipped with a
kitchen, dining room, laundry and
sewing room, all of which will be
carefully and practically planned.
The department of drawing and man-
ual training will be equipped with
work benches and tools.
Physical Training and Athletics.
Systematic individual work in
physical culture is required of all
students, and all such work is under
the supervision of competent teach-
ers. All kinds of clean, manly and
womanly games will be fostered and
carefully supervised by the faculty.
Faculty.
The superintendent of F. D. A. S.
of agriculture, Prof. Frank Horsfall,
conies to us from the Missouri state
fruit experiment station of Mountain
Grove, Mo. He held the position of
horticulturist in that institution for
the past nine years and has just re-
signed to take this school. He is a
thoroughly practical man and owns
and operates the farm upon which
he was raised. Prof. Horsfall re-
ceived his training from the Univers-
ity of Kansas, graduating there in
1900 with the degree of B. S. He
has also taken special work in the
Universities of Missouri and Illinois.
He learned the nursery trade when a
boy at Springfield, Mo., and fruit
growing has been his special line of
study ever since.
During Prof. Horsfall's short but
busy life he seems to have done many
things among which might be men-
tioned two seasons on the U. S. geo-
logical survey, the organization of
fruit growers associations, farmers'
organization, farmers' institute and
experimentation work. He conies to
us full of enthusiasm and a will to
make this the greatest agricultural j
school in the United States.
W. H. Caldwell, one of the in-
structors in F. D. A. S., comes to us
from Texas. He is a graduate of the
North Texas state normal and from
the business department of the Earth-
man Business University. He has had
several years experience in the teach-
ing profession.
Our agricultural Prof. R. E. Ellis,
was born in north Mississippi, and
raised on a farm. He entered the
A. and M. college in 1900, completing
the course in agriculture leading to
the B. S. degree. After he graduated
he remained with the college as as-
sistant in agricultural and station
work until 1906, after which he took
charge of large planting interests in
the Mississippi delta, where he re-
mained until he accepted this posi-
tion.
Prof. Ellis is a thoroughly practi-
cal man and is well qualified for the
work he has in hand. This district
should congratulate itself upon get-
ting such an able man to fill the po-
sition as agriculturist.
Miss Jeannette Taylor, the profes-
sor of domestic economy and art in
the Fifth district agricultural school,
is a graduate of our state A. and M.
college at Stillwater, Ok. She spe-
cialized in domestic science and
chemistry while in this institution,
and this combined all the subjects
needed for a thorough understand-
ing of her line of work. Previous to
her college course, Miss Taylor was
a teacher in the public schools of
Oklahoma and during the past sum-
mer was an instructor in the county
teachers' normal institutes. Besides
her degree of B. S. she holds a life
certificate and a state normal in-
structor's certificate. These legal
qualifications combined with her
practical experience assures us of
great success in this department of
the school.—Helena Star.

The Kind of Girls
Men Like
(By Ruth Cameron.)
If you want to be the kind of girl
men like—if for no other reason—
avoid sophistication as you would
the plague.
Young: girls sometimes get the
idea that men like girls who know
all about the ways of the world and
who are quick to catch the meaning
of an ill allusion, but as a matter
of fact that's just the kind they
don't like—at least not for very
long.
Men always love innocence in a
woman.
And not only good men but men
whose morals are none too straight
—perhaps these more than any oth-
ers.
A woman who is a remarkable
judge of human nature once said to
me:
"I would feel fully as safe if not
safer in the power of bad men who
knew I was a good woman as I
would with good men. for the worse
the man the more he reverences
goodness In a woman."
A man of the world, a man whom
no one would ever think of calling
a prig, asked me the other day what
had happened to so change a little
girl we both knew.
"She used to be such a nice little
girl," he said, "but now she has a
hard, worldly wise air and is always
the first to catch and laugh at any
double .meaning. I'm sorry. She
was always such a nice girl."
And that girl doubtless fancied
she was far more attractive to men
in her sophisticated state.
There are some of the unpleasant
facts of life that all girls should
know for their own safety. These
are the rocks that lie in the com-
mon channel. These dangers her
own mother should explain to her.
But there are many rocks so far
out of the customary channel that
the ordinary girl's bark will never
come nigh them. These there is no
possible need of her knowing about.
Any knowledge of them she
should shun.
And any older woman who talks
about suclx things before young
girls ought to be Iput in a reform
school.
Women, of course, are constantly
entering professions in which a
knowledge of the evil of the world
is necessary—such as the medical,
the legal, and to a certain extent,
the newspaper profession.
For such women I am rather sor-
ry. They place a large sacrifice on
the altar of success when they allow
themselves lo become sophisticated.
And yet, of course, I realize that it
is a necessary and if rightly made, a
dignified sacrifice.
But for the rank and file of wom-
en who do not need to know all
about good and evil my heartfelt
advice is to leave the fruit of the
tree strictly alone .
You will be happier, you will be
better and—all-powerful bribe for
most of us—you will be more attrac-
tive.
WHY SALVES Rill,
TO Cl'ltK KCZEMA
They Clog the Pore*—Only a Liquid
Tun Heacli the Inner Skin.
Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists,
many different salves have been
tried for skin diseases. But it has
been found that these salves only
clog the pores and can not penetrate
to the inner skin below the epider-
mis where the eczema germs are
lodged.
This—the quality of penetrating
—probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wlntergreen as
compounded in D. D. D. Prescription
After ten years of cure afater cure,
the world's skin specialists have ac-
cepted this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend 1). D. D. Prescription at
$1.00 a bottle, but for the benefit
of those who have never tried the
prescription we arranged with the
D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago for
a special large trial bottle at 25
cents on a special offer now. The
first bottle ought to convince every
sufferer, and, at any rate, it will sur-
ely take away the itch at once.—All
Druggists.

buying inferior Coffee. THE AL-
TON GOODS is guaranteed to satis-
fy.

An Interview With Halley's
Comet
From Harper s Weekly.
Mr. Halley's comet after a long
absence from town, will probably ar-
rive in this section of the world in
time for Christmas. Our special cor-
respondent had the pleasure of greet-
ing hlui upon his arrival in Germany
and found him most affable.
"You have been away some little
time, Mr. Comet," said the corres-
pondent.
"Yes" replied the coment, wag-
ging his tail pleasantly. "1 have a
rather roving disposition, you know,
and I spend most of my time making
little trips through the solar system."
"You lind things some what chang-
ed since your last visit?" 1 asked.
"Naturally," he replied, "but only
in insignificant details. You don't
seem to me to have progressed as
much as the people 011 Mars for in-
stance."
"Indeed!" said I. "Have the Mar-
tians motor cars and air ships and
such like inventions that have come
along since you left us?"
The comet laughed hertily.
"They are three cycles ahead of
you 011 that proposition," he said.
"The Martians do not use vehicles
of transportation of any kind at all
nowadays. By a long series of
scientific experiments they have shed
commonplace legs, such as you peo-
ple still use, and have grown wheels
in their stead, which they use in
traveling about with remarkable dex-
terity."
"Using their own stores of physi-
cal power?" I demanded.
"If they choose," replied the comet
"but preferably not. Any Martain
who proposes to go off on a long
journey purchases a box of solar pills
each pill containing stored-up en-
ergy gathered from the sun equal
to 8 million horsepower. One of
these pills swallowed in the morning
will carry you 10,000 miles before
lunch with perfect ease.
"But how about the airship? Have
they got us beaten 011 this score,
too?" I asked.
"Beaten to a standstill," smiled
the comet. "After experimenting
with all sorts of contrivances, such
as aeroplanes, balloons, zipplllins
and other futile things, professor
Mulllgrubb8 of the Martalns Society
of Aviation discovered that back in
the primeval days all men were able
to fly, and that their wings, which
we had all supposed to have been
lost, along with man's tall were not
really lost at all, but still remained
In the shape of our ears. The thing
to do, obviously, was to restore the
ear to its original use, and, after
nearly forty years of experimentation
the professor has succeeded in dis-
covering a method by which auricu-
lar aviation is an assured fact, so
that now any Martian at all who
wishes to fly through the air has
only to stretch his ears, flap them
a few times, and soar to his heart's
content."
"Very interesting," said I. "I
suppose they are rather curious over
there about us."
"Not at all," replied the comet.
They know all about you people—
earthworms, they call you. Their
atmosphere, which is very different
from yours, has certain of the pow-
ers of a magnifying glass, and when-
ever they wish to see what you are
doing all they have to do is to lock.
On a clear day you are quite as visi-
ble to them as you are to yourselves,
only they don't find you particularly
Interesting,. Of course a microscopic
lens of such power Is strong enough
to enable them to s6e right through
you, and they say that, while you
are amusing in a way, you are a
rather empty lot."
They might think differently if
they could hear our conversation," I
ventured.
"Oh, they do. There isn't a word
spoken on your earth at any time
that is not registered by a gigantic
verbophone situated in one of their
big observatories," said the comet.
"Tills arrangement has a sort of
wireless net stretched out to catch
all the voices of the universe, and
connected with this is a syllabograph
which writes down everything that
is said over here or elsewhere. That
Is to say, it used to write It all down,
but by an executive decree issued last
year It was ordered not to continue
doing this, because it was the con-
sensus of opinion over there that
your conversation was not worth
listening to."
