In the debate on the Johnson bill for the establishment of a system of county agricultural schools, which has passed the house, Representative Adams advanced a somewhat novel plan to bring agricultural instruction to the farms.
His suggestion was that a corps of instructors be selected from the graduates of the agricultural college, who would become itinerant teachers. Each of these teachers would go to a separate district, not too large, would help the farmers select their seed, give them instruction as to how to prepare the soil, how to plant and how to cultivate, right on their own farms.

Clever Negro 5 will play Aces.
Fast exhibition forecast for Monday.
Those basketball fans who go over to the auditorium Monday evening to see the Hotentots (sic) and the Aces may expect to witness some of the cleverest ball handling in the country, if advance newspaper reports mean anything.
The Negroes have lost but four games in two years. Of course many of their contests have been easy. But they've also played some of the best cage talent in the country and they've usually won.
While the Aces may not be good enough to win from so fast an outfit, they are good enough to make the Negroes extend themselves. And those boys can travel.
