INSTITUTE PROVES I 1 BIG SUCCESS With an attendance of 286 persons, t!he Farmers' Institute held its clos ing session at Plain City last niglv and the meeting proved to be the most enthusiastic of the series. It is felt by the Plain City people tuat the event has been of great value to the town and to the farmers of th3 surrounding territory. This is espe cially true in an educational way, for the men who have occupied the ma jor portion of the time during the ive days' meetings are among the foremost educators of the state in the lines of horticulture, farming and stock raising. The women of the community have also been greatly benefited by the addresses and practical demonstra tions that were given in their depart ment by the competent instructors. The program yesterday consisted of a lecture by Prof. Hogenson ol the Agricultural college, on "Alfal fa." This was given to the men and the women were addressed by Miss Agreeu on the subject of "Fail ure in Cooking and Why." A general assembly was held in the evening and addresses were by Prof Hogenson and Miss Agreen. Tne former spoke on "How to Keep Bos r.ud Girls on the Farm," and the lat ter on "Co-operation at Home " Both lectures touched vital points of farm life and were impresshe as well as interesting. Music was furnished for the session b the ward choir of forty voices, under the direction of EvelyE Christensen and Bertha England gave a flute and a piano solo. At the close of the meeting a vote of sincere thanks was unanimously given by the farmers present, to the educators who had given their serv ice and thus made the Institute such a splendid success. on NOTICE On and after this date the planting of White and Green Ash Trees Is prohibited.

Washington, a negro cook employed by the Oregon Short Line, committed suicide, in the Hutton drug store on Twenty-fourth street, about 10:30 last night. He severed his Jug ular vein with a corn knife and died at the Dee hospital about 11:30. The man entered the drug store a little after 10 o'clock and asked L. J. Morton, the manager, to show him a corn knife. There were a number of different styles of knives in the show case and Morton gave the negro one to look at while he searched for an other While Morton's attention was thus occupied Washington slashed his throat several times. The jugular vein and smaller veins were severed When the druggist took his head from the show-case he was horrified to see tlie negro's awful deed. He immedi ately called the police and surgical as i sistance and, while the call was being answered, tried all possible efforts to stop the flow of blood His efforts were una ailing, however and the man was nearly dead when, in the space of a few minutes, the police pa trol and physicians arrived. The dy ing man was placed in the patrol and taken as quickly as possible to the hospital, where he was attended by City Physician Walter Whalen. He was past all aid, however, and though everything possible was done by the physician and hospital attendants to save his life, he passed awav about 11:30. Mr. Morton, in speaking of the trag edy, said that the negro did not ap pear to be downhearted and did not act suspicious in any way. The fel low appeared, rather, as an ordinary customer and as particular as to the kind of knife that he desired to pur chase. Paiers found in the dead man's clothes contained information that his mother, Mrs. Anna Washington, and a sister, Nettie, are living at 516 E Hurefano street, Colorado Springs, and a brother, Quindy, lives at 371 Columbus street, San Francisco. Telegrams have been sent to the relatives and the body will be at the Larkin undertaking parlors until word as to its disposition Is received.

The roll had been called and the collection was about to be taken In the New Movement Bible class when the leader announced that this offer ing was to be for the missionary work supported by the class. 'Don't you think we had better look after our own land first0 I don't believe In foreign missions," said the cynic. "Well, that brings us right up to our lesson.'' replied the teacher. "Iet's take that up right away and take the col lection afterward. Mr. Jones, what is our lesson about today?'' "Why, it is about the sending out of the seventy to co two anil two to the cities to which Christ was coming and prepare them for his advent" "And into what countries was he go- int: n" Why, the rest of His time was spent mostly in Samaria and Perea. which was really foreign country to the .lews." ' Yes. so much so that the Jews i would have no dealings with the Sa- maritans and would mt even eat with them. A Samaritan was more foreign to a Jew than a rhinaman is to us And you will notice that they were in structed to enter their houses and eat with thein. Evidently Christ believed in foreign missions." "But isn't there enough to do in our own country? How about the heathen at home? Hadn't we better convert them first9" was the next query. "What did Christ tell these mission "FIRST LADY" OF VIRGINIA SOON MSB Mrs. Henry C Stuart, Mrs. Henry C Stuart, wife of the governor-elect of Virginia, will soon become the first lady of that state.

I Corner 24th and Hudson I aries Did He say that they were to stay in a city till they were converted j and readv for Christ's coming?" "No.' said Mr. Jones, "they were not If a city did not receive them they were to pass on to another. In other words, they were ro scatter far and near, so that those who were re sponsive to the gospel could be reach ed the quickest." "Exactly," replied the teacher. "And the s.inic rule applies today. for Christ's last instructions to His dis ciples was to co to all nations and dls-j ciple all people Let us take the I collection for our missionary in Chi-j na " But the cynic was not to be appeas ed so easily. "But," he said, "these missionaries were not to take money with them." "True, but they were to get their living, for they were to be supported by the people, for Christ added: 'The laborer is worthy of his hire ' They I did not need railway fare in those days. Now they do. And what is the difference, if people support a rais-J sionary by keeping him in their homes ' or. if as they now prefer to do, give i him enough to enable him to keep i himself in his own home. It is the; same principle." But seeing that the discussion was getting rather warm, the teacher add ed a little pleasantry. "I see also that j we are taught herein to be grateful j for what blessings we receive. Per-j haps you have heard anout the little boy at the table when his father of fered thanks to God for the food, and then straightway bean to find fault with it 'Papa.' said the little fellow, j "which will God believe?"' lust then little Bill spoke up with I a little ripple in his voice. "Speaking of contributing to the support oi the gospel reminds me of a vOlored preach-1 er I once heard at a negro camp meet-1 ing. He had just concluded a power ful sermon on Salvation is Free' and concluded by announcing the ceilec-! tion for the parson and his family, when up jumped a lroiber in the rear and said 'Look a yeah, pahson. If sal vation is free, what is the use of pay ing for it?' " 'Patience, brudder, said tho parson, 'I'll 'lucldate. S'pose you was thirsty and you was come to a river You could drink yoiih fill and that water would be free. But supposen yo' was to hab dat water piped to yo house, yo'd hab to pay So salvation is free but It's de plpln' yo' hab to pay fo ' " After a ripple of merriment the teacher said, "But what about those cities who would not hear"" "Why," replied big Ben, "it would be more tolerable for Sodom in the day of judgment " "Ah. but we have gotten over the idea of bell, haven't we?" retorted the c. v nic. ' " We may have to change our ideas about some ideas we had about the na ture of hell, but we mut still face the fact that sin brings awful woe even 1n thH world, and since God's uni verse is ono. the same must be true in the future world And remember that the Christ from whose Hps came (he most tender words the world has ever hoard pas ald the most terrible things about thc awful catastrophe awaiting the unsaved He pleaded with the multitudes with tears In In eyes to come to Him aud escape He even went to the cross in order to save us from the awful consequences of sin. No one ever pronounced such terrible phlllipic6 against sinners as did Christ against the Pharisees. Is there anything in God to fear" It I would seem so. But those in Christ j Jesus are reedeemed from fear." LESSON TEXT Golden Text It is not ye that speak j but the spirit of your Father that speakelh in you. Mat 10:20. The American Standard Bihe. 1.
