been swallowed up in the army Of mer
who live in squallid surroundings and
have struggle for existence. I wish
you young men who are undecided
about your vocation could interview
the successful business men and ask
them what they most desired and let
them tell you how they yearn for the
country and the farm. They know
that the farm can be provided with
more comforts than the city home,
but young man remember tina. it
takes money to provide comforts and
conveniences either in the city O. In
the country home. We are not going
to find any place where we get them
without effort. We have our own liv-
ing to make just as those ahead c. Us
have made theirs, by their own ef-
forts. We want to find the best way.
The boy raised on the farm has natu-
rally learned many practical things
about farming. Everyone who knows
about the tendency Of the
times, knows that agriculture is vo-
cation and agricultural education is
commanding especial attention. Peo-
pie are just waking up to the posi-
bitities for profit from agriculture
when intelligently followed. The de-
mand for intelligent farmers is grow
ing and the prices for their services
is good and win be better. With the
same intelligence and educational adj
the young man taking up
scientific agriculture finds a better
held for success than any other voca-
ton today. Most of the others are
crowded with incompetents. In agri-
culture the demand far exceeds the
available men. Thoroughness and de-
mean the same in agri-
culture as in other vocations. There
IS the added advantage in the country
over the city of latitude and freedom.
In the city we are restricted, in the
country not so much So; we have
pure air. We can grow and develop
mentally, morally and physically.

SOME REASONS WHY

(By Capt T. F. Peck, Commissioner
Of Agriculture.)

would like to talk to the young
men on the farm this week who are
making up their minds as to their vo-
cationCin life. Those who have grown
up on farms owned by modern pro-
gressive farmers in the majority OF
cases will select farming as the v0ca-
ton for they have learned something
of the great possibilities Of farming
when followed with intelligence and
energy and they have seen some Of
the attractive features of farming.
But to the boy raised in the country
who has seen only the drudgery side
of farm life, who had to get up at 4
in the morning. work until breakfast
feeding or cutting wood; drudge all
day and well into the night; no time
for pleasure, living on q farm where
no thought was given to making the
home and grounds attractive; where
it was always work and drudge; no
books, no flowers, no music, no pleas
ant company; no wonder boy would
want to get away fro msuch surround
ings. The most hopeful thing about
the boy is that he means to get away,
and my dear boy you are the one
want to talk to. because there IL
movement to take those conditions
away from the farm. A movement
that viii be better for you. than for
you to give up farm life. because n
you do. You go among conditions un-
familiar to you and the chances are
into form of slavery worse than that
you are trying to escape. for vice is
less in evidence on the farm among
farmers than anywhere men labor.
II you were to leave the farm, you
might succeed. Thousands have gone
from the farm to the city and taken
the lead While that is true. many
more have drifted into crime or have

NEW YORK, oct 15.-Gamblors

Herman Rosenthal, according to the
line Of defense indicated by counsel
for the accused officer at tOdays SEES

money, raised by gamblers, was paid
to get Roscnthal out of New York
when he began TO "squoal" on thu
subject Of police protection and when
he took the money and then refused
to go, the gamblers, threatened with
the loss of their protection, plotted
and executed his murder through the
agency Of the four gun men.
At least such was the outline OF
the defense implied in questions put
by Jno. f, Mcintyre, Becker's counsel,
to Sam Schepps on the witness stand
today
Schepps was not given an oppor-
tunity to say whether he had knowl-
edge that such was the origin of the

day on the stand corroborating testi.
mony of Jack Rose, Bridgie Webber
and Harry Vallen. the trio of self
confessed accomplices who accuse
Becker Of having inspired the murder.
Schepps furnished another link 20
the chain of evidence against the dc.
fendant by swearing that Becker hao
asked him if the gun men had been
paid for their work. He also testi-
fled he had been the bearer of
reassuring message from Becker 70

for Rose in rounding up the gun men,
but he denied he knew the killing Of
Rosenthal was on foot. He did not

Rose had made a clean breast al

had taken.

His Plea Before lie Goes
To Trial.

MILWAUKEE,, oct 15.-States At
torney Winfred c. label of Milwaukee,
county tonight definitely announced
that John Schrank, Colonel Boose-
velts assaiant, would not be brought
to trial until after the national elec-
ton, November 3. lie said Schrank
would he allowed to withdraw his
plea of guilty, entered at the pre-
liminary hearing today and that the
trial would be opened some time be-
tween November II and Is. Mr..
label, who is said to be the only
socialist states attorney in the country,
gave three specific reasons for his de-
cision to put Off the trial for one
month.
He said, first, it was only reason
able to await the results Of Colonci
Roosevelts injury; second. he had no
desire to crowd the defendant, and
third, gave it as his opinion that Il
would be unwse to call the case dur
ing the final struggle in the presiden-
tial campaign.
If We went to tria, before election
day it is almost certain chat the mat
ter would be dragged into the cam-
paign by one or another of the big
political parties" said Mr.. label.
Discussing the case as viewed by
him, the Milwaukee county prosecutor
said that as far as indications are con.
ccrned, Schrank was sane.
IF Schrank is insane" said Mr..
label, 1T seems there is method
in his madness when he selects for
the scene of his crime a state where
there is no capital punishment
But he added there will he

Schrank spent a quiet afternoon

Jail. At the prisoners request the
