DAIRY TO BE WORLD MODEL
Chicago "Woman Farmer" Has Plans
for Bolldlima Where Xew Meth
ods Wll Ue Taught.
Sirs. Scott Durand, the Chicago woman,
who Is known the country over for the
modern Ideas which she has applied suc
cessfully to dairy farming, has new plans
for the erection of new buildings which
will be a world model. The plans are for
the erection of eleven buildings all of
reinforced concrete. The Interiors will be
made to resemble while enamel. That there
may be daylight In all the buildings as
long as possible, 20 per cent of the roof
space will be composed of glass which will
inlay a new variety of tinted slabs. All of
the buildings will have cold running water,
which, to Insure Its cleanliness, will be
sent through pipes of washed air.
The drainage facilities of the dairy are
probably the most elaborate ever built for
the purpose. Surrounding the buildings will
be a sewer four feet wide and high enough
for a man to walk through, and Illuminated
throughout with electricity. Every twenty
feet there will be placed a manhole to
simplify entrance into the sewer when re
pairs are needed.
The main building will contain the dairy
office, the shipping, bottling and washing
rooms. Between the office and the other
rooms glass walls will be built to enable
visitors to view the process of handling
milk. The men working In these rooms will
be dressed In white linen and use every
precaution to prevent dirt from entering
the milk. Adjacent to the main building
will be that containing the cattle.
Another building will be given over ex
clusively to the manufacture of artificial
ice and others will be devoted to the
housing of horses, hogs and chickens. The
dalrv will Generate its own power In a
I seperate building Just opposite to the of
day for London, where she will appear In
the same part during a spring aid summer
run, beginning March 22. The Iiidon com
pany will be made up exclusively of Eng
lish players headed by Herbert Sleath in
the role played by Robert Hillard in this
country.
"Loaves and Fifties," the new play by
Somerset Maugham,' was produced by
Charles Frohman at the Duke of York's
Theater last week. The play la described
as a satire !n four acts and Is baaed upon
the same writer's novel, "The Bishop's
Apron." The leading roles were taken by
Robert Loralne and Ellis. Jeffreys. It l
half satire and half comedy and Is filled
with Maugham's characteristic witticisms.
Miss Jul'a Marlowe, it Is Inferred, finds

InK op of all things that wonn n love most,
the fireside, and friends, and home, and
the social life; It means to stand criticism
with a smile, and to present the best that
is in you; to know how to study In Isola
tion, and to work when one is tired; to
wait years and years until it Is all under
stood, and then If Uod has given it to
you to reach the hearts of others perhaps
you will be acclaimed aa a Shakespearean
actress."

It is part of Mrs. Durand'B plan to later

women during each summer to teach the
highest principles of dairy farming.
Mrs. Durand has exemplified the fact
that painstaking dairy farming does pay

Seattle school teachers object to the use
of heroic names for advertising purposes.
They do not believe the names of great
Americans should be used to designate
particular brands of cigars, for Instance,
and they are probably right about it.
But they will not be able to put a stop
to the practice. It has become too com
mon, and It would undoubtedly take a
great many years of earnest and aggres
sive agitation to convince manufacturers
that the use of great names Is Unneces
sary. Besides the manufacturers may In
sist, with some show of reason, that the
use of these names on labels of one kind
and another, along with a likeness of the
persons whose names are thus used, has
some educational value, because It calls
constant attention to a great character In
history. Seattle Post -Intelligencer.

PRACTICAL QUESTION OF DAY
Flalarajee I pa a Association i tirem
Factor that la Helping! In IMrect
Inc stream of Toonsr Men
from Rural District.
I
The thirty-first annual stale convention of
the Young Men's Christian association
opened Thursday In this city with a largely
attended banquet at the Taxton hotel. Men
prominent In local and state affairs were
seated at the speaker's table and the large
number of delegates and friends of the
association filled the dining room to Its
seating capacity.
Henry Wallace, sr., president of the Na
tional Conservation congress and editor
of Wallace's Farmer, waa the speaker ot
the occasion. Besides Mr. Wallace's ad
dress the toast list furnished many other
speeches of a noteworthy order.
The convention beginning today Is to
continue three days, winding up Sunday
night with evangelistic meetings at twelve
different Omaha churches.
Judge Harry S. Dungan -of Hastings,
Judge of the Tenth Judicial district, ful
filled the duties of toastmaster In a most
entertaining and delightful manner, his
stock of storlea being apt, new and seem
ingly Inexhaustible.
Conservation of Youg Men.
Mr. Wallace, speaking on "The Conserva
tion of Young Men of City and State,"
classified It aa the largest and most mov
ing practical question of the day.
"We do not find the true meaning ot
the word 'conservation' in the dictionary,"
said the speaker, "for the stoppage ot
waste is not all It means. Gifford Pln
chot, Theodore Roosevelt and others have
given It a new meaning. It means use,
increase, the minimum of waste and the
greatest amount of use,
"When we look at the resources of the
states," went on Mr. Wallace, "It would
seem that the greatest need is for the
conservation of the fertility of the soil.
But that Is only the first glance, let us
look again and we will find that after all
It Is the manhood of the tiller of the soil
that must be preserved. Man, under God,
Is the biggest thing In this world, and
man is Inconceivably greater than his
works."
The speaker continued the thread of his
argument to show how the Young Men's
Christian association could prove Itself a
mighty factor In the conserving of the con
stant stream of young men that is pour
ing Into the cities of the land from the
rural districts.
F. W. Ober of New York City, editor
of the national association magazine,
"Association Men." was another prominent
speaker of the evening.
Mr. Ober paid a great tribute to the
local association and his reference to E.
F. Denlson. the general Becretary, as "that
Abraham Lincoln secretary of yours," was
met by a storm of applause that evidenced
the letter's popularity.
Welcome by Mr. Carpenter.
I. W. Carpenter, president for many
years of tho local association, delivered
the address of welcome. Mr. Carpenter
placed the Young Men's Christian associa
tion, after the home and the church, as
the greatest power for good In the world
today.
Dr. William R. Dobyns. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church at St. Joseph,
Mo., spoke on a "Vision of Opportunity."
J. P. Bailey, etate secretary, gave an
