J. RHOADES, Cashier. 80 80 50 EXTENSION SCHOOLS OPEN-EUDORA HAS ONE NOV. 15-19 Manhattan, Nov. Kansas State Agricultural college extension school season has just opened at Cherokee, Crawford county, where the first school is being held in connection with the Crawford county high school.

Wide-awake farmers' wives who are studying the business of farming and home making, will get through the extension schools information on the scientific principles underlying their work, with a coordination of these with everyday farm and home practice. The teachers are practical, well trained men and women The schedule for the schools for the year is now complete, as follows: November 15-19, Eudora; November 22- 26, Louisville; November 29-December 3, Lovewell; December 6-10, Leavenworth; December 13-17, Altamont; December 20-24, Mulvane; January 3-7, Quincy: January 10-14. Overbrook: January 17-21, Maize; January 24-28, Argonia; January 31-February 4, Belle Plaine; February 7-11, Miltonvale; February 21-25. Chapman; February 27-March 2, Nickerson. In order to secure one of these schools for the community the local community must enroll a class of not less than 50 men for the course in agriculture and 25 women for the home-makers' course.

Each student pays a tuition fee, usually of $1. The demand for extension schools for this winter has been very great and had there been sufficient people to conduct them, more than twice the number scheduled could have been organized. Applications are now being considered for schools for the fall and winter of 1916-17. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS OFFERS NEW SHORT COURSES Manhattan School to Teach More Practical Subjects Soon Blacksmiths, millwrights, automobile men, surveyors, road overseers, and county commissioners, as well as farmers will have an opportunity to get at the agricultural college some practical work along the line of their occupations. Special short courses in traction engines, concrete construction, shop work and road building have been announced for the 10 weeks in which farm work is usually slack, from January 4 to March 15.

Courses are intended for men who want practical knowledge but have not the opportunity to take a technical engineering course. With the extensive use of concrete and of traction engines on the farm, it is expected that a large number of farmers will take the short courses. Experts in the college will give to the students in the short courses a series of general lectures on such subjects as rural architecture, water supply, electricity, and irrigation and -Ex.

It is expected that some corn will be frosted before it is fully matured. According to Department of Agriculture authorities, the feeding value of such corn will not be materially impared if it is cut immediately after being frosted and put into the silo. The information will be valuable to many farmers, as it will enable them to leave their green corn standing longer just when nutritious food elements are being rapidly formed in the ears. TO DISCOURAGE "SETTERS" A New York inventor has obtained a patent on a device designed to discourage hens from the not always laudable or desirable ambition to set. It consists of several hollow nest eggs joined in series by connecting tubes SO arranged that cold water can be kept circulating through the eggs.

PRESBYTERIANS TO ENLARGE The steady growth of the Sunday school of the First Presbyterian church is causing the officers and the trustees of the church to consider the question of providing more room. Architects Tarbett and Company of Kansas City have been consulted with a view of either remodeling the present building by adding a new wing or building a separate building for educational purposes. The architects, after careful consideration, submitted plans for a new building modern in all the educational appointments. The school is endeavoring to become more and more a force in the religious training of the youth of the church. Last week the primary department was supplied with added equipment in the shape of tables of approved type for educational work.

The attendance last Sunday exceeded the total enrollment by two.

Mrs. Effie Lawrence has some Bulrushes on display in the rest room, which her mother, Mrs. A. M. Lane, brought with her from Waldo, last week.

A number of people have never seen the bulrush and will be glad of the opportunity of examining them. They are a long, rash stem, which grow on wet ground or in water. The East Side school house which is being erected on Santa Fe street is beginning to assume the shape of the important building which it will be. The walls are completed on the outside, and it will evidently be ready for use by the first of the year or perhaps sooner. The Old Post Office building was a busy place Saturday when the ladies of the Presbyterian church had its different compartments decorated and were selling all kinds of pretty and useful articles from them.

The fancy work booth was especially pretty, and the articles were cheap. Ice cream and cookies were served to any one who wished them. THE STEREOPTICON AN AID TO CHURCH SERVICE In a stereopticon sermon that was remarkable for the large number of the great master pieces of the world, the pastor of the First Presbyterian church brought to his congregation the contribution of art to the life and art of Jesus of Nazareth. The speal: er had chosen as his topic, "The Great masters and the Great Master." Nearly one hundred slides were used from all the galeries of the world. The reproductions were in the original colors and the whole effect was inspiring as well as highly instructive This was the fifth of a series of stereopticon sermons that is to be delivered at the church during the coming winter.

The church provides them free of charge not even the usual collection being taken. Next Sunday evening the pastor preaches his third sermon in a series also on the program of the Pleasant Sunday Evenings on topics relating to marriage. "What kind of a Girl do I want to "A Solvent Home," are the two subjects that preceded. The subject for next Sunday evening will be, "Married without much Difficulty, my next Problem-How to get a Cage for my Bird." The Morning sermons at the church have been of an unusually practical character. In his sermon next Sunday morning on the topic, A man's Business and his Religion," the pastor will answer such questions as "What is the precise Relation between a man's religion and his business?" "In what way and how far should his faith in God influence his conduct in commerce?" Every business and professional firm in town will receive a special invitation to this service.
