upon as of all men most practical. None
but the most stubborn and ignorant
now attempt TO belittle the value of a
technical education in agriculture. The
American farmer has been shown.
! Return to the Work.
| Now and then we hear the claim that
the agricultural college has a tendency
TO draw boys away from the farm in
stead of keeping them interested in
| farm work While such an accusation
may have at one time been true, it is
not so today. Statistics show that dur
ing the past five years more than 50
per cent of the graduates of the Iowa
Agricultural college have returned TO
the farm OF the remaining 20 per cent
more than nine-tenths are engaged in
some phase of agricultural work. Re
Gently gathered statistics also show
that for every country boy who fails to
return to the farm after graduating, ten
young men from the cities and towns
go to the farm after completing the
course in the agricultural college.
AS we stand upon the Threshold of
this goth century and gaze into the
cultural college has barely begun to
fulfill it's mission of usefulness. Never
before in the history of the world has
the need for educated farmers been so
great. Yet that need will ever increase
with the passing of the years.
Stop Soil Robbery
The old system of soil robbery must
cease. The already depleted soil of
many sections must be brought back
to crop-producing fertility. Intensive
farming must take the place of extern
sive farming, and every acre be made
to produce to its maximum capacity.
The tide of humanity which continu-
ally flows cityward must be checked.
Agriculture must come to be acknowl-
edged everywhere as the most dignificd
and honorable calling which a man can
pursue.
Corrupt politics must be cleansed and
the farmer must do it, but he must be
educated, he must become a man of
affairs. Then, and only then, will he
have within his grasp the most hon
orable positions which man can be-
stow upon man. With more attention
given to the education of the young
people of our farms, the positions which
farmers will occupy will increase both
in numbers and rank with eacn sue
ceeding generation.
OF what vital importance is it, then.
that the agricultural college be given
adequate support at all times. and that
our sons and daughters be urged to
attend it. Americas prosperity will
increase, and her standing among the
nations will rise. in direct proportion
to the ever enlarging number of our
country young people who go from the
farm to the agricultural college, and
back again to the farm.

president Of the Transfers union,

Goal Transfers union, and William
Murphy said to have been q member
Of the '''rrecking crew. during the
strike, withdrew their pleas of not
guilty and entered pleas of guilty. All
OF the men declared their intention Of
turning states evidence.
The incident caused great excite
ment In the courtroom and took the
other defendants completely by sur
prise. Shea and Young had for years
been close friends and had worked
through number Of strikes side by
side
Since the last convention Of the
Transfers union, however. they have
been opposed To each other.

Judge Ball, saying:

nounced that all three men desired
to enter pleas of guilty, they were for
a time taken completely aback Presi-
dent Shea turned In his chair and
stared fiercely at Young, who returned
his look with an Indifferent stare. The

Shea resulted from the effort made by
the former to secure the presidency Of

WAR ON BUTCHERS OF
EAST SIDE GHETTO.

New York Nov. 30.--A war on the
butchers OF the East Side Ghetto has
been started by women residents OF the
district as a protest against the high
price of meat. Recently the butchers
put up the price Of meat two cents a
pound and in verbal explanation Of the
act said the packers had again raised
the prices to the butchers and they had
to follow suit.
II Is an easy matter to create trou-
Bile among the excitable residents OF the
Ghetto and the action Of the butchers
was quickly resented. Housewives met
on the streets and discussed the sub.
ject, and from this IL was but q step
to form Indignation meetings. Such
meeting was held yesterday at the
home of Mrs. Esther Delsbolsky at AZ
East Fourth street. Nearly so women
were present. Mrs. Delsbolsky told the
women she thought the prices OF meat
were outrageous and advised n strike
against the butchers
/ Mrs. Delsbolsky and Mrs. Rebecca
Resenick went to a meat shop In the
neigh borhood as packets and immedi-
ately began addressing large COM
pany of women customers. advising
women cheered, the butchers became
excited and tried to dispense them. A
battle followed, in which clubs were
used and various missiles thrown
Mrs. Delsbolsky and Mrs. Resenick
were struck IN the face with sharp mis-
sies and both received serious cuts as
well as other injuries. Several other
women were struck by stones and clubs.

LONG BEACH BOOMING

Brayton Bros. have placed on the
market a very desirable tract on Signal
Hill. The streets are graded and will
soon be curbed and sidewalks put
down. The view looking toward Long
Beach, San Pedro and Catalina island
is grand and the tract will prove very
desirable residence property.
Messrs. Young and Parmley ran an
excursion last Sunday from Los An
geles to their new tract, the Young &
Parmley annex, and despite the fact
that 1t rained at the hour of starting
took down a car of very enthusiastic
homeseekers. Messrs. Young &5 Parm-
ley were so successful and the lots sold
so readily that they are seriously con-
sidering the advisability of advancing
the price before any more are sold.
Buffers & Paul, the selling agents for
the Inner Harbor tract, report the sale
of over 400 lots in this tract. The
property was placed on the market
about sixty days ago, and merely goes
to show and prove the activity for
property around the inner harbor The
tract is owned by the Inner Harbor
Land company and joins on the harbor
front. A. M. Goodhue, the president of
the company, is also president of the
