As indicating bow serious   be   con-
much tin j aiders   our   position    in   tbe   present
can citizen boaata ot the wonderful
industrial and commercial growth of
his country and loses sight of the fact
that agriculture is tbe foundation of
all commerce and Industry .
Tbe truth eiowly dawned on tbe
authorities and the admission ia
aaade tbat ic a mttiors tbe real purpose ot the Agricultural Colleges ia
not* fallalied. Tbey traio men and
woroen'in tbe arts and sciences pertaining to tbe soil and the bome, and
tbese trained men and women accept
positions wherever tbeir services are
needed; bnt tbe man and woman cn
tbe farm, struggling with an undertaking more uncertain than any other
business, seem unaware of, or else indifferent to, tbe fact that any help
tbe college can give is tbeira for the
asking. Therefore, if the people will
not seek the college help, tbat
assistance must be placed where the
people can see it, know it, realize its
presence and grasp tbe helping hand, j
Tbe idea of tbe county agent began '
as early as 1903-4. Men were sent by
the government tocombat theravages
of the cotton boll-weevil in certain
parts of the South. They gave
demonstrations of preventative
measures, advised against the one-
crop system and in many wave made
themselves so useful and necessary to ;
tbe awakening South that when the j
appropriation paying their salaries j
was exhausted, the people of various j
sections arose to the occasion ant:
kept the men their by paying their .
salaries themselves. With the county j
as tbe unit and the limit of one man's j
work, he became the County Agent, j
The idea bas spread unt*il now there
are over a thousand sucu agents in |
active service, working in almost as*
many ways to lighten the farmers'I
burdens by shewing him newmetbods j
of cultivation, rotation of crops,!
seed selecting, preventative measures '
tot protection of stock from disease, j
for prevention of ravages of insect
pests and by raising the social ta nd
ards of a rural community, making {
life on the farm more attractive to
tbe boys and girls, ths nation'e greatest assets. The increase in the scope
of the work of county agent waa
made possible when in 1 t>l\ Congrese
passed the Smith-Lever act appropriating Federal money for agricultural
extension work. Tbis money after an
initial gift of 11.0,000 to each state to
be increased by $500,000 each year
until 1922-23. The sum each year is
divided among the states in proportion to   the   relation   the  rural   pop
trust Providence for the rest,
become involved in war with Germany, as now seems highly probable,
we can thank tbat great British navy
for our safety, not our own foolishness for being helpless. Mr. Hobson
said in part:
"Oo yea members of the legislature
understand wbst could happen or
what might happen if the hands of
Germany or the bands of Japan were
not now—tied? For year's we have
been taught in onr war colleges to
nVure on war with Germany or with
Japan. Tbe problem bas been discussed and every student tbere knows
ought to carry hy a good   majority.
As 'his is an unusually hard mile ts
build, and tbe township' bas been to
extra expense in otber ways, Supervisor Emerson bas been "passing tbe
hat'* to outsiders lately. S500 ls already pledged and more in sight.
C. A. Kleman bas agreed to give 350
or more, aDd W. C. Cornwell is expected to live np to his reputation for
generosity. Witb 11300 coming from
the state, tbe township wiil probably
get off with Jess than   one  thousand.
Tbis work ought to be done for the
good of tbe whole county.

to be remarkably tbrlfty.
From tbe contingent fund $316 25
was paid to defray the cost of elections and registrations alone. Tbis
seems like quite a sum for a small
town to pay for tbe privilege
ot voting even In a presidential year.
But if tbe hill for tbe revision of tbe

much reduced.

Juat what that body wili do,
whether a state of war will be declared as existing and preparations
made at once to conduct oar affairs
as a nstion at war, or if the country
is to adopt a more conservative
course an: confine Itself to still further protecting its legetimate commercial trade on tbe high seas, depends somewhat on the recommendations made by tbe chief executive in
his message to tbe assembled law
makers. It is understood that be

new developments before completing

throughout tbe county that perhaps
it wonld be well at tbis time, and by
this means, to explain to tbose wbo

present status of tbe organisation.
It seemed to be tbe desire of the
majority interested tbat we secure
thoroughbred Shorthorn-heifers of
the dual purpose type. Investigation has proved these to be as scarce
as the proverbial ben's teetb. Everybody wants tbem, nobody bas them.
We had expected tbey could be secured for about S75 00 Tbe offer was
made by the N F. Development
Bureau to seenre for tbe connty tbis
kind of an animal for it was thought
about 1100.00. A Mr. Prescott while
buying for himself would also buy for
tbe Club. He visited many breeders
and finally secured 15 for himself at
an average cost of close to (200. No
one wants to pay this price for an experiment and so there we are. Prof.
Brown of M. A. C. does not advise
paying a big price for breeding stock
and then, when it is desired to sell,
not be able to get the money back
tbat was put into tbe stock. It
would be a damper on an ambition
that we wish to try and encourage.
Breeders in other states are paying
upwards of S500 for good tried cows
and thousands of dollars for sires
but we can't do it.
Unless after further investigation,
whicb Mr. VanDuesan is making, we
can supply tbe Shorthorns, we
must take some other breed or substitute aiid form a pig club.

[From Karw-t'll Correspondent.)
A sad accident occured about noon
Sunday atthe Timpe home in Maple
Grove when a fatal shot was fired
from another "gun tnat wasn't
loaded".
Two boys, Bert Beadle, whose
people are in the weet end who is
working for Merle Uoore, and Earnie
Timpe a iad aboni thirteen years old
were at the house alone. The father,
an older brother
Lansing and tbe
mother was at the borne of R. Johnson.
The report is that the boys were
fooling with a revolver and a shot
gun. The Beagle boy went out doors
and on his return into the house
Timpe beld up the revolver and said
"Hold up your hands", at which
beagle picked up the shot gun,
which he supposed was not at tbat
time loaded, and pulled the trigger.
The shot struck Timpe in the bowels
and he said"Go for thedoctor quick''.
Beagle went at once to the
home of Elmer Scbofield near Dy.
Mr. Schofield went to the bouse immediately but tbe iad oniy lived a
short time and was gone before the
doctor arrived.

GREAT POWERS"
Have Taken   Whatever   Desired
For Legations.

SEEING CONGBE8S.
Dear Editor: —
Tbis is not Tbe
American Congress I am going to tell
your readers about in this letter, cot
a real Chinese Congress of Tbe New
Republic of China. Fariament tbey
cali it here. This is "English yoa
know", and yoa know tbe Chinese
are great imitators. Sc in forming
tbeir new government tbey have
modeled it partly after the English
plan, and partly after the American
idea.
Speaking of tbe Chinese being
great imitators, it is wonderful what
they will make It you just give tbem
a copy. As an illustration cf tbis, it
is a fact, tbat if the missionary
; ladies, or tbe ladies of the Legation
wish a gown made in the very latest
fashion, ali tbey bave to do, is call
in a Chinese tailor, give him a copy
of tbe last Delineator or The Ladiea
Home Journal, and show bim a
picture of the garment you wish
made, you need have no further
worry about it. You mav rest assured
it wili be produced exactly like tbe
picture, even to the last tuck and
frill
Well as I wbs saying, we desired to
see Congress, so this morniDg I went
down to the American Legation and
obtained two passes for admission to
the assembly ball. I invited a friend
to accompany me and use one of the
passes vvhien he very glad accepted.
We were to start at half past one, so
this friend went do.vu to tbe Com-
Dound gate and eugageritwo rickshas,
and made very careful enquiry where
to find Congress, so tbat our ricksha
men wouid make no mistake. At
tba appointed boar we left Dr.
Smith's door, passed out tbe Compound gate, out through Filial Piety
Lane on to Hatarnen St. a little way,
theu turned westward down Legation
St. Tbis ia a street of international
importance, and, since this takes oa
through several foreign nations,
some of them, the Great Powers I
think you will be interested in a
brief description of them. We pass
through tbe glasee, tbat open space
extending clear around tbe Legations, reserved, and set apart ae a
military necessity. Taking the
countries in order on our left we
first come to a long strip of land occupied by the German barracks,
stables, and supply houses, with
some stores and the small Belgian
Bank in front of them. Our next
country ie Belgium, of modest pro
portions, containing one large administration building, after
style of Belgium architecture.
