.BACK TO THE FARM"
SHOW IN SWITZERLAND

Lausanne, Switzerland, Sept. 10
A great exhibition that will be Of in
terest to Europeans and Americans
connected with the Back to the
farms movement was opened today
in Lausanne. II is the eighth Swiss
National Exposition of Agriculture,
Horticulture and Forestry and it
shows, az nothing else could, how to
get results from farming and fruit
growing in mountainous country.
As there are millions Of acres of
hilly and mountainous lands in Am
erica on which nothing is grown, and
which are considered worthless for
agricultural purposes, the exposition
here has attracted a number of AM
erican agricultural experts Interested
in the reclamation of such lands. 1t
is proposed to adapt swiss methods
to the development of the abandoned
farms in the hilly districts Of New
York and New England, the Ozarks
OF Missouri, and the vast wastes Of
the Alleghenies, the Rockies and 9TH
er mountainous districts.
The Swiss exposition, with its wealth
OF displays, proves that IL any coun-
try, anywhere could teach the hill
and mountain valley farmer of any
other country how to wrest a living
from their holdings to the best pos
sible advantage, that country surely
is Switzerland. All Switzerland stands
on edge with practically no level
ground, and the climate is not favor

Cattle raising has reached a state
of perfection in Switzerland known
to no other country, and the thou
sands OF head of picked animals
from the choicest herds, the result of
centuries Of selection by the breeders
constitute one OF the greatest attrac-
| tions Of the exposition.

BLACK DIAMOND TO
Be At THE ROUNDUP

That there will be no end Of good
horses here for the Roundup and that
they will be wild and otherwise is in
dicated by letters that are being re-
ceived by Sheriff T. d. Taylor who is
chairman of the committee that is
listing such stock for the frontier
show. Today the sheriff received a
very welcome letter from w. c. Gibbs.
an enterprising stockman of Susan
vile. According to Mr.. Gibbs he has
one of the widest outlaw horses in
the state known as BLACK Diamond"
and will be here with him in time for
the Roundup. He will also bring
some relay horses and some ponies for
a chariot race. At Sheriff Taylor's
suggestion Mr.. Gibbs will get his
horses here several days before the
opening of the Roundup so that they
will be in good condition by the open
ing day.

high mass celebrated today on F'iet-

score of bishops and thousands Of
minor clergy will participate.
Father Vaughn in his sermon to-
day declared that race suicide -
church suicide. Nothing is more

are forcing the civilized world into
sterile paganism." He declared the
catholic church soon will control the
country through force of numbers
and asserted that professionalism is dis
appearing.
Vaughan continued: Racial pro-
duction is unalterably connected with
| the church's progress. They react
upon each other. The catholic church
stands alone in the enforcement OF
Gods law in this respect. An empty
cradle means an empty church. One
