FARMERS UNITE
EMPLOY AGENTS
Getchel Prairie Land Own
ers Get Together-To
Save in Purchases

Valley City, n. D.. Feb. 1.-THE
Getchell Agricultural society. a farm
ers' organization at Getcheli Prairie.
near this city, is proving that the COM
munity OF interest idea can be made
to pay If handled properly.
Last fall many farmers Of this vi
cinity met to old a social evening at
a neighbor's home. n took up the
discussion Of farm topics. BEFORE
closing they decided 70 appoint a pur-
chaGng agent, to learn where they
might buy better seed and better ma
chinery at the lowest cost. The agent
reported in two weeks, and So salts
factory was his statement that his APP
pointment was made continuous. To
give him assistance, a selling agent
was appointed 10 find the best prices
for farm products. These Two have
been working In harmony. and have
disposed of tho surplus farm produce
n also of machinery, in order that
nothing may he lost.
To BUY the Best Seed.
The question of better seed was
made paramount. and drafts in the
sum of $1,000 were sent out TO buy
the best that could he obtained in the
seed line. This noun is expected to
be doubled before actual work in the
fields is begun.
The organization is peculiar. in that
there ls no board or directors. no OF
fcers. no constitution and no bylaws.
Each man does his business through
the two agents. VINO are subject to the
recall at any time a majority so desig-
mates. Also each mans word is TAX
en- for everything he advocates, or
wishes to buy or sell.
Saves Tenth in Purchases.
The plan was the idea of j. n.
Getchell. a former Iowa farmer. who
stated yesterday that he had found
the plan had saved him at least 10 per
cent in his purchases since the agents
had heen put to work. These
agents." Mr.. Cietchell said. "are able
TO do much better for lis than we
could do individually, for they buy for
fifty OF us, where VIC had been work
ing alone before. Also the same
thing applies in selling u goods
One man having so much more to deal
with car force better prices than each
OF us can do by ourselves. In the
shipment Of grain this is especially
true. for freight rates are better. in
that the cost OF a car is a certain sum
and 1t is as expensive to ship if hall
full as it would be to have it well
loaded. We find a great many ways
in which We can meet farm problems
better by pooling u interests"
At the meetings of the farmers the!
have formal discussions upon import.
ant topics, among them being such
subjects as barn ventilation. alfalfa
soil culture, consolidated schools. con
crete construction n lahor-savinl
devices for the farm and home.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1I.-General Sill
Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the
boy scout movement, has found the
round of receptions and welcomes in
this country too strenuous that he was

COUNTED OUT

NEW YORK, February 13.-Gus

Hist, conqueror of Tom sharkey and
others of lesser note, died suddenly
today in his cafe in Brooklyn as the
result of a stroke of apopleXy.

teen hard rounds.
In 1897 Rubin fought a twenty

lost to Kid Mccoy in twenty rounds;
to Tom Sharkey the same year in one
round, and in 1900 he was knocked
out by Bob Fitzsimmons in six rounds

SNAKE FIGHT IS LATEST IN SPORTS

Georgia sports are nothing if not
versatile Just now they are plan
ming to hold a grand snake fight
Tired of dog fights and prize fights,
and being prohibited by law from hay
ing cock fights and bull fights, they
have determined upon the gentle di-
version of chucking a big king snake
and hefty RATHER into a sanded ring
to do battle royal. Where the fight
will be held has not yet been deter
mined, but the plans are being gener-
ally talked of in sporting circles.
The king snake, it appears, is filled
with a mortal hatred of all other spe-
cles of snake, and will force a fight at
every opportunity without provoca-
ton The king snake is not poison
Gus, and will endeavor to kill his OPP
ponent by curling around his neck and
strangling him to death. The RATHER

coils and tries to strike the king
snake a deadly blow with his fangs,
while the king lodges and twists like
whiplash, ready to coil himself
around the others body at the first
opportunity. The battle to the death
sometimes lasts two or three hours.
Hunters who describe fights they
have witnessed in woods or fields be-
tween king snakes and rattlers, de-
clare the sport will be more exciting
than any prize fight that was ever
pulled off. The king snake has al.
ready been caught, and is now being
groomed for the contest His owner
is willing to back him for any reason

can be induced to make the trip in
the event of a combined team being
out of the question.

MAUI SPORTS
BOOM RACES

Louis Won Tempsky and d. l.. Mey-
er, both prominent members of the
Maui Racing Association, are in town
for the Floral Parade.
They state that Maui intends to
give the best racing meet ever on the
Fourth of July and that they have had
several promises of horses from local
owners.
Both men confidently expect that
the Honolulu bunch will support the
Maui meeting as they have done for
the past few years or so. They say
that Honolulans have always had a
good time on Maui and received
square treatment and that it is natural
to suppose that they will spend their
holiday where these things are as
sured.
The Maui people, while regretting
that they will not have the entries
of the Hilo horses this year. never
theless profess to believe that this
will indirectly benefit racing at Spree
kels Park, inasmuch as it will give
the races a much more open aspect
They claim that while the entries
of the Hilo horses have been highly
acceptable in the past, the superior
ity of the nags from across the water
has crippled competition and resulted
in practical walk-overs where good
keen races were aimed at.
