audience that dares tell me that it can
not be duplicated with much greater
ease and much less hardship today?
You. Mr.. Commissioner, would have
ACCOMPLISHED the same result, SO far as
restoring the fertility of the farm is
concerned, as we did, and with much
less physical effort, because you have
the means, as many men here before
me today have, to purchase ready made,
ready mixed fertilizers that we had not
only to manufacture from raw material
but mix in the soil by our own unaided
efforts. If this recital does not prove
an incentive to some one to 60 and do
better under the improved conditions
afforded him, | shall be disappointed,
to say the least.
''But | hear someone saying, If you
were so successful on farm, why are
YOU not there today?' or why did you
ever leave a business that you We're so
well adapted to prosecute with such
rare succesS?' 1t was a case OF the man
with the hoe was then mere boy,
and farm life, with all its success, was
to me as tedious and uninviting as it
ever was to any lad, or is to anyone to-
day. While others were Struggling to
their last degree of strength, Iycould
not do less than perform my small part
and / was willing under the circum-
stances to do it until I had seen the
problem before us solved, and ray of
light opened up for me in another direc-
ton. You must remember that forty
years ago the social conditions on a
Maine farm in the back country towns
were entirely unlike what we find today.
For instance, the rural delivery was
never even thought of. The telephone
had never been dreamed of, even for
the most populous sections, and the
local grange was twenty years from its
establishment. What, then, was th ere
left for lad who had ambition to do

JURORS RESTED AGAIN.
Motion to Dismiss Cases Against In
diana Operators Opposed.

CHICAGO, March 12-The jurors in the
coal conspiracy case were given another
vacation to-day while Assistant States At
torney Barnes answered the arguments
made by the, defense yesterday on a mo-
ton to take the case from the jury and to
dismiss the prisoners. The main point in
the argument was the contention that the
prosecution of the cases under the con-
spiracy laws Of Illinois did not necessarily
interfere with interstate commerce, as
claimed by the counsel for the coal oper-
ators. 'They are indicted here for con-
spiracy to fix prices" said Mr.. Barnes.
"They were not indicted for bringing coal
into the State, nor for mining it in Indi-
ana. I concede their right to constitute Mr..
Boyle their selling agent in Illinois. but
when they combine and get together to
say that Mr.. Boyle must sell that coal at
a fixed price they engage in conspiracy
punishable under the laws of the State OF
Illinois"
Mr.. Barnes was followed by former Judge
Wing, chief counsel for the defense. Judge
Wing did not make a serious effort to COM
bat the arguments of the assistant states
attorney. He said: "The power of regu-
to be exercised by the federal government
alone, and by no other authority in the
land. The State of Illinois has no juris-
diction whatever in this case" The de-
cision of the court will be announced to-
morrow.

Roach, of the Franklin baseball team. an
nounced to-day that Rivers, the star pitch
er, on whom the students and players have

dent Stott, which resulted in Mr.. Rivers
being declared ineligible to play on the
team. This is great disappointment to the

idea what he will do for pitcher. as there
