Educate tho Farmer Boy.
"The most important farm conserva-
ton is undoubtedly the preparation of
farm youth for better farm manage
ment. We have inherited our system
of education that looked to the farm
for the best material to reinforce the
professions and the industries. Educa-
ton has, therefore, prepared young
peiple for everything but farm life. The
American congress saw this half a GEN.
tury ago and provided for agricultural
colleges In all the states; these colleges
have grown, and are preparing teach
ers, a hopeful task, in the nature of
things. 1t is difficult to change or ma
erially modify the education of a peo-
pie, interviewer with their history, their
Industries, their literature, their tradi-
tons and religion. 1t is being done,
however, in our country. Research is
accommodating facts along the life lines
Of our people. The people read the
publications treating field and forest,
the soil and It's crops, the animal and
it's we'll being.
IF our country is to grow and de-
velop as patriotic people hope, we must
conserve the fertility Of our soils, and
the moisture that Is precipitated not
only on our farms but that which falls
upon the highlands and now flows idly

knights Of Pythias, started in on the
formal trial of tho Pythians who are
accused OF having circulated literature
libelous to Ben Salingcr, the friends OF

moving indefinite postponeIpent Of the

the trial in form 1t can be taken W

Politics In II.
A counter moVo was nade by dis
closure OF the fact that political mat
ters are deeply involved in tho cases
as affecting the fight for senator In thS
Crawford Monona district 1t
was pointed out that Carl Keuhnle.
against whom most OF the fight Is being
made, is tho republican candidate for
the senate, and that he Is opposed by
e. l.. Grow, who Is fatheP-ln-law OF E.
l., Sallnger, and that the whole fight
seemed to be framed up to help the
fight In that district. 1t Is this fact
which Is said to have caused the post
ponement.

have disclosed the fact that tho Sailing

the latter will win. Another fight was
started to oust Nv, w. Epps. of Ottum-

store the place to G. w, Hoyer, of Ida
