Immediate Needs.

From all that has been done and
learned three great general and i'm
mediate needs of country life stand
out:
First, effective cooperation among
farmers, to put them on a level with
the organized interests with which
they do business,
Second, new kind of schools in
the country, which shall teach the
children as much outdoors and in
doors perhaps more, so that they will
prepare for the country life, and not
as at present, mainly for life in
town.
Third, better means of communi-
cation, including good roads and a
parcels post, which the country peo-
pie are everywhere, and rightly.

THE COUNTRY LIFE.
Continued from Page H.

the chief difficulties is the failure OF
country life, as it exists at present
to satisfy the higher social and intel
lectual aspirations of country people
1t is true that country life has i'm.
proved greatly in attractiveness
health and comfort, and that the far
mer's earnings are higher than they
were. But city life is advancing even
more rapidly, because of the greater
attention which is being given by the
citizens of the towns to their own
betterment. For just this reason the
introduction of effective agricultural
cooperation throughout the United
States is of the first Importance.
Where farmers are organized CO.
operatively they not only avail them
selves much more readily of business
opportunities and improved methods,
but it is found that the organiza-
lions which bring them together in
the work of their lives are used also
for social and intellectual advance
ment.
The cooperative plan is the best
plan of organization wherever men
have the right spirit to carry it out
Under this plan any business under
taking is managed by a committee;
every man has one vote and only one
vote; and every one gets profits ac-
cording to what he sells or buys or

[ desire only to take counsel with
the farmers as fe1low-citizens. Tt is
not the problem of the farmers alone
that I am discussing with them, but
a problem which affects every city as
we'll as every farm in the country. It
is problem which the working far
mers will have to solve for them
selves; but it is a problem which also
affects in only less degree all the rest
OF us, and, therefore, if we can rem
der any help toward it's solution, it is
not only our duty, but our interest
to do so.

Why He Did 1t.

The foregoing will, I hope, make
It clear why l appointed a Commits
sion to consider problems of farm life
which have hitherto had far too lit
Tie attention, and the neglect of
which has not only held back life in
the country, but also lowered the eff
hclency of the whole nation. The
welfare of the farmer is of vital con-
sequence to the welfare of the whole
community. This strengthening of
country life, therefore, is the
strengthening of the whole nation.

BUT NOT IN THE RUNNING IN
THE THIRD GAME - WHAT
OGDEN DID WAS A SHAME.

Sunday night about sundown some
individual or individuals told an ag-
gregation of ball tossers. whom we
will call the Miners that it had the
from Ogden backed clean of the
track The Miners so thoroughly be-
lieved the aforesaid individual, or
individuals, that they caused the
Ogdenites to remain over one more
day and invited the local fandom to
come and see the humping. But
somebody monkeyed with the switch
and the result looks more like a
head-on collision.
Looking over the results of Sun
days and Mondays games, one can
scarcely believe that Ely is capable
of dishing up such. a mixture. Sun
days exhibition was of very SUI
perior quality of amateur ball, with
lots of ginger, good base running and
other things that go to make up a
game. Winnie Fulmer held down the
slab for the locals and at the same
time held down the team. He's the
old General who is responsible for
the result. Besides holding the heavy
hitters of the Ogden team to five
hits. he kept the men behind him on
their toes, and they played ball.
Aside from the ragged work of Ben
nett at third. the team played almost
perfect ball. Most noticeable was the
outfield work of Sturm and Sparger,
both of whom accepted everything
that came their way.
