the price WAS prohbitive and resolved TO
go farther out TO find suitable location.
One day the members of this commits

their camping grounds. From this height
they had viewed the beautiful valley and

But il is for the agricultural college
to show the real way. 1t is not neces-
sary to show the country boy that the
farm life Of song and story and speech
is considerably rubbish. The country
boy knows that there is more drudg-
cry than romance In following u plow

there are easier and better ways OF
doing these tasks than the ways Of his
father.
He has to learn that farm life may
be made more attractive and more
profitable through the knowledge that
he is to acquire at the Agricultural
college. Farming will never be the
occupation for the poet the dreamer
or the drone, but the farmer may be
made happier, though Industrious. and
certainly he may be made wealthicr.

Agricultural college of Utah is a prim-
tive wooden plow. This pIow was i'm
ported from a rich little agricultural
community in southern France in 1892
and placed on exhibition at the World IS
Columbian exposition in Chicago. With
the plow came a certificate from the
American consul in that section of
France to the effect that this plow
was one of type then in use in that
district and that the French farmer
from whom it was secured thought
that 1T was being sent to America to
be used as model after which mod
ern American plows were to be con-
structed.
Somewhere in Utah, perhaps, there
exists an old fashioned fnrmer-one of
the type that has become famous in
comedies and tragedies of rural life
and in almanac Jokes, one of the booted
der, paint-brusll whiskers and gold
brick variety-who believes that his
method of farming, the kind that
ruined New England farms and threat

be properly conducted and boys would
be taught how TO hold a plow how to
reap grain and how TO do the other ordi-

E. tab1;shment of College
The Utah College of Agriculture was
founded for the purposes of giving
added educational training to the peo-
pie of the state and for the purpose
of encouraging the rising generation
to look to the vast resources of the
state for the source of future happi-
ness. IL also was for the purpose of
encouraging the better and more intel
ligent performance Of the everyday
tasks of life. And these purposes have
been we'll carried out The aim OF
the future is chiefly the greater devel-
opment and more perfect achievement
of these purposes
Under an act of congress passed in
1887 those states and territories MAIN
tanning agricultural colleges were given
$4,000 annually by the United States
government for the maintenance of an eN-
pertinent station. AS soon as this appro-
priation was authorized by congress
prominent people in Utah began to talk
OF the establishment of an agricultural
college in this state.

TREATY LIMITATIONS.
Some Questions the Governments Would
Refuse to Arbtrate.


LONDON. April 3.-Sir Oliver Lodge,
writer ard principal of the University
of Birmingham, in a lengthy review OF
the possibilities for universal arbitra-
ton, published today, holds that, while
everything arbitral should be arbl-
trated. there are certain things which
no nation would consent to submit to
arbitration.
For instance, he does not believe the
United States would agree to arbitrate
the matter should European power
be unwise enough to interfere in the
event that difficulty arose between the
American government and Mexico.
Similarly, England would never ac-
cept arbitration should foreign powers
insist on home rule for Ireland. or if
France desired to arbitrate an issue in
Egypt.
Touching on the position of Ger
many. Sir Oliver foresees in the near
future the question of German out
let to the Mediterranean occupying the
center of the stage in the world Of
politics, This he also considers quite
outside the possibility of arbitration, as
he believes that TO secure such an out
let has been long standing secret
policy OF the German government.
In naval and military circles the sug-
gestion has been advanced privately
more than once that the real objective
of the German fleet was the Mediter-
ranean and the North sea, and Sir Oil
ver now openly voices the same idea,
suggesting that on the death of the
Austrian emperor Germany will make a
great effort to secure a seaport in the
Adriatic. with territorial connection
with Germany.
The new German fleet. the writer con-
tends. is intended 10 overawe Italy and
France, in order that the operations
NAV be conducted peacefully in spite
Of their protests In such an event, he
maintains, Great Britain should keep
her hands off and not attempt to curb
Germany lust colonial ambitions.
