the unprecedented growth OF cities.
The increased facility of communica-
ton has resulted in the withdrawal
from rural communities of most of the
small, widely distributed manufacture
ing and commercial operations Of for
mer times, and the substitution there
for of the centralized commercial and
manufacturing industries of the cities.
Farmers must learn the vital need
of cooperation with one another Next
to this comes cooperation with the
government and the government can

Individual farmer; for there is no
greater agricultural problem than that
of delivering to the farmer the largo
body of agricultural knowledge which
has been accumulated.
The people of our farming regions
must be able to combine among them
selves as the most efficient means OF
protecting their industry from the
highly organized interests which now
surround them on every side. A vast
field is open for work by cooperative
associations Of farmers in dealing with
the relation of the farm to transporta-
ton and to the distribution and manu-.
facture of raw materials. 1t is only
through such combination that Amerl-
can farmers can develop to the full

4 OLYMPIA. May 31.-An act passed
by the last legislature makes it obli-
gatory on any one DESTROYS of selling
intoxicants within the state of Wash

that "any person.. firm or corporation

liquor at any place in this state or

counted for in our books. a duplicate
receipt for each remittance going to
the state auditor. Each item must
again go into the quarterly report and
again be summarized for the bien-
NAL report to the legislature.
The state, for the last biennial Pc
r1od, received as it's percentage of sa
loon licenses collections, the sum of
$292,44326. To this will now be added
the receipts for state licenses, which
will swell the general fund no incon-
siderable amount.

of application, as is done, by the in
ternal revenue offices, for the reason
that the law is very plain. and, conse-
quently can be complied with very
easily. Any person, firm or corporation
cense or special tax stamp, issued by
the national government for the sale of
intOxicants at wholesale, retail or
otherwise, must have a state liquor Ii

applicant is to remit the sum of twen-
ty-five dollars to the state treasurer,
stating for whom license is desired
and also giving the name of the town
or city and street number of same
wherein he desires to conduct his
business under said license"

justified. But it can not be justified
in the future if agriculture is permit
ted to sink in the scale as compared
with other emrlOyments. We can not
afford to lose that prominently typs-
cal American, the farmer who owns
his own farm.
Yet it would be idle to deny that
in the last half century there has been
in the eastern half of our country a
falling off in the relative condition of
the tillers of the soil, although signs
are multiplying that the nation has
walked up to the danger and is pr
pairing to grapple effectively with it.
East of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio and the Potomac there has
been on the whole an actual shrink
age in the number of the farming pop
ulatiOn since the civil war. In the
states of this section there has been
a growth of pOpulation-in some an
enOrmus growth-but the growth has
taken place in the cities, and especial
ly in the larger cities. This has been
due to certain economic factors. such
as the extension of railroads, the de-
velorment Of machinery, and the open
ings for industrial success afforded by

MARVIN HART FIGHTSWITH
BROKEN WRIST AND LOSES

TONOPAH, New, May 31.-Marvin
Harris seconds threw up the sponge
and Mike Shreck was declared winner
in yesterdays fight.
Harris wrist had been broken three
days ago in his fight with Gardner and
it is claimed he broke it again while
training. After the sixth round it went
back on him but he fought on like a
demon until his seconds, in mercy,
threw up the sponge in the twenty first
round.
When it was learned Hart had been
hurt there We're cheers for his pluck,
Hart said Shrek had not hurt him and
that he could have finished him but
for his sore hand.
Marney Reynolds, manager for
Squires, the Australian, was at the
ringside and announced his man as
being ready to fight any man in the
world under proper inducements, pre-
ferring the winner of this fight.
