The hope of an agricultural COM
ricultural population. Uncle Henry
Wallace, who was head of Roosevelts
Country Life commission couldn't go
back of the fact that the way to keep
young people interested in the farm.
In the east, where high prices for land
bar the poor man, and the great cities
lure him from the farm, this problem
fair way to solution, not by the rhe-
oretical teaching of agriculture in the
schools, but by offering prizes for
what the boy and girl can do.
Latah county is nothing if not an
agricultural community. Moscow is
nothing if not the heart of an agricul
tural community. Today, since we
have only awakened to a faint realiza-
ton of what our land is worth, we in
Moscow and out, may not understand
the worth to the county of boys and
girls who are studying to make our
land produce the best and the most it
can Someday we will understand, and
unfortunately it may be to our sor-
row.
Friday, in a communication from
Miss Nettie Sponsler, Latah county
teacher, the Star-Mirror printed an
outline for an agricultural competi-
ton between the boys and girls of
this county
We are frank to say that as submit
ted we believe Miss Sponsler's plan
includes too much to be successful as
a beginning, but we do believe that
in it's essence it strikes at the key
note.
We have our fair, our chicken show,

Let us include in the premium list of
the first a prize for the best display |
of garden products made by student

1t really is astonishing what nature
offers in exchange for common sense
and how extremely stingy she is with
people who are lazy, ignorant and un.
imaginative. 1t is no use for anyone
to go into the country to be happy
just by force; especially if they rely
on violets and pinks and birds to
make them happy; when they do not
even know one flower or bird or fruit
from another and do not care to know.
My conviction is that there ought
to be a school N each large city to
teach applicants how to be happy in
the country-how to get acquainted
with country things and how to enjoy
them. Something of the sort is I'm.
der way through the work of our ag-
ricultural colleges, and of that we will
have something to say in the future.

THE LIVE STOCK SHOW.
Mike A. Bright Chosen as Managing
Director-A Unique Program.

The Universal Exposition Company
has arranged to give live stock show
in connection with the GFeater st.
Louis Fair. The fair will be held at
the Universal Exposition grounds in
st. Louis county from September 23d
to the 30th. The most prominent cfti-
zens of st. Louis are on the advisory
board. Former Gov. Francis, who
made the Louisiana Purchase Fair a
success. delivered the principal ad-
dress when the Universal Exposition
club house was dedicated, and former
Mayor Rolla Wells, who was leader
of the Old St. Louis Fair Association,
and is now president of the Business
Mems League, is now prominent in
the planning, the advisory committee
holding it's meetings at the league,
and the leading associations Of Greater
st. Louis participating.
The live stock show being of very
great Importance, its management
was turned over to the St. Louis Live
Stock Exchange, composed Of COM
mission men at the National Stock
Yards, and Mike A. Bright, former
president of the Exchange. and the
vice.president of the National Live
Stock Commission Co., was chosen
managing director of the live stock
show. This choice was made on the
ground that Mike" is man Of high
executive ability, born booster, who
will give the live stock industry a
much needed opportunity to secure
recognition as Americas greatest in
dustry. He has selected on his ad-
visory board the most progressive
men in the st. Louis Live Stock Ex-
change, and various committees are
working out the practical details of a
show that will stimulate the live stock
industry in the thiry-eight states that
are now getting over a hundred mil
lion dollars a year from the ST. Louis
market and can get twice as much
lust as easily II the farmers will raise
the right hogs, cattle and sheep.
Mr.. Bright says: This is to be a
real SHOW NE show that will prove
the big profits that lie in good stock
sold on a good market. We have the
market, but we need more stock for 1t
to sell. Last year we sold over
5000, 900 head of cattle, hogs and
sheep, getting the highest market
prices for 1t. This year prices are
higher than ever here, higher than at
any other Western markets, but we
can't get half enough good stock to
meet the demand. With prime beeves
as high as $3.50, hogs around $3.50 and
$500 and sheep quoted way up to
$1,000, the farmers and feeders can
afford to raise good stock"

steers brought $3.50, also a top price.
Those prices not only went out by
Associated Press to every leading
paper that prints market reports, but
was wired by our own special infor-
nation bureau to various sections
where they wanted a special These
specials are usually run on the front
pages or the commercial pages Of the
leading dailies, because they always
pertain to something of very great i'm
portance to the locality where they
are sent.
1T is advertising which brings the
newspapers a large return because it
stimulates the prosperity upon which
all newspapers depend. Missouri and
Illinois get a splendid showing in this
advertising.
Frequently customers of the Ma
tional take top prices, and we fur
nish that fact 10 the press, so that it
will boost the industry as we'll as our
customers"

DEATH AND FAMINE IN RUSSIA
Consequences of Crop Failure In
Cars Empire Are Almost Beyond
Description.

Appalling details are being given in
the Russian newspapers concerning
the present famine, which has now
involved no fewer than twenty gov
ernments. The official calculation of
the Economic society puts the figures
at three hundred millions of puds, or
49,125,O00 tons.
The consequences of crop failure
are disastrous. In 1892 there occurred
in the European provinces Of Russia,
$780, 900 deaths in excess Of the normal
figures-that is to say, in this single
year famine carried Off more lives
than the far eastern war on both
sides. 1t is a corollary Of chronic
famine in Russia that the normal
death rate is as high as $50 in 10000
inhabitants, while the figure for
France is only I'll, for Germany 1S1,
and for New Zealand 104. The aver
age duration of life in Russia is also
much shorter than elsewhere. OF 1000
males in Russia only 297 reach the
age Of 90 years, as against 412 in Ger
many, 476 in France, and 537 in

PUBLICITY MAKES PROFITS.
Il Applies to the Live Stock and News
paper Business.

1.-THE publicity which is advocated
to check the trusts is not the only
kind that is needed. The publicity
which is enabling the farmer and
shipper to make more money in live
stock is equally as important And
it is equally as far advanced, when it
comes to comparisons, says the man
ager OF the National Live Stock Com
mission Company at St. Louis.
Take the country newspaper of to-
day. 1t is part of a vast system by
which it has the best news and litera-
ture there is, distributed to it at a
price which 1t can afford to pay. Thus
the country newspaper can compete
successfully with the big city daily.
This is a good thing. The city
daily is working for the city. The
country paper aims to benefit the
farmer and the merchants and bank
ers in smaller places.
Hence whatever is done to make
the country papers better able to meet
city competition the better it is for the
country at large. Among the things
which the country press has been
able to do is to furnish reliable live
stock information. This is OF vital
value. The farmer must be kept in
formed. So must the shipper.
