Mckenzie County Chronicle: A
young bachelor between Alexander

She came but the next day she decie-
ed TO go back from whence she came,
In fact she started and might have
gotten away had she not like Lots
wife looked back. She didn't turn
to a pillar of salt. She melted. At
least her heart did. For there was
the erstwhile candidate for her affec-
tons leaning against the shack, his
head bowed low-the picture of grief
uncontrolled. He feels so bad. I
gotta go back said the girl, and
turning a summersault out of the
wagon, she scampered back Hike .
fllly just let out to pasture. A cor
respondence course is all right when
it works.

''Thank God for the faith that teaches,
When the struggles of life are Ger,
We shall meet our loved ones
And shall know them all once more.
"What ma tier though life be dreary
And we tread it's path alone,
If when our journey is ended
In heaven we will know our own
We may all have our sorrows,
Grief that quickly dies away,
But the loss of dear father
Grieves our hearts day by day.

From the Southern Commercial
Congress.

Washington, May "a, 1912.
DIR. Maurice Egan, United States
minister to Denmark, has just returned
from a tour of the South under auspices
of the Southern Commercial Congress,
promoted by the Congress to show
farmers of the South, through Dr.
Egan, something of intensive farming
methods in Denmark.
Denmark, naturally one of the
smallest and poorest countries in
Europe, through intensive farming,
has become in a few years one of the
most prosperous and wealthiest, per
capita, in the world. 1t was to des-
cribe to Southern farmers the marvel
GUS story of achievement of financial
independence, even wealth, of the
Danish farmers, that Dr. Egan made
his Southern tour.
The Southern Commercial Congress
suggested to the State Department
that DIR. Egan's knowledge of the sue
cess the Danes have achieved in inten-
sive farming would be of immense
advantage to Southern farmers. The
State Department gave DR.. Egan a
furlough, and sent him on the Southern
trip. Starting from the great Nash
vile convention of the Congress, on
April 10, he visited Shelbyville, KY,
ST. Louis, Dallas and Houston, Texas,
New Orleans, Jackson, Miss, Birming-
ham, Athens, Ca, Charleston, S. c.,
Greensboro and Raleigh, N. c., and
Roanoke, Va. In each of these cities
DIR. Egan lectured to immense audiences
of farmers, and described the Danish
farming methods. His lecture, which
was received with great enthusiasm
everywhere he went, probably will be
| published as an official bulletin of the
Department of Agriculture, for cir,
culation throughout the nation.
DIR. Egan will return to his post at
Copenhagen, June 6. He sale
he was delighted with his specia
mission to the South, and hoped thai
his exposition of farming in Denmark
would be of advantage to Southern
| planters. 1t is probable that next yea,
the State Department will detail him
on similar mission, under auspices OF
the Southern Commercial Congress. tc
| visit all the State legislatures in the
South and tell the lawmakers abou
! Danish farming. This would undoubtly
have an important effect on agricul
tural legislation. Since his return t.
Washington DIR. Egan has received ;
great number of letters from farmer
and public men along the route of hi
tour, thanking him for the privilege o
hearing the lectures.
Denmark" said DIR. Egan
twenty years ago was in povert!
stricken state The farmers were
poor. Today, through intensive farm
ing Denmark is prosperous and happy
Practically every Danish farmer own:
his own land. Bacon, butter, and egg
have made Danes a wealthy people
Products of the farms are markete,
through cooperative creameries ant
stores owned by the farmers them
selves. This system has made Danisl
butter a standard of excellence and higl
price known all over the world No
an inch of ground or natural fertilize
is ever wasted in Denmark. If tn
Southern farmers, who waste so mucl
of their lands, and in many instance
wear out their farms, would adopt tn
Danish methods the South would be
come the wealthiest section of tn
globe in a short time. -

Marlboro Race Officials Named.

mdT1UUTO INdCt oMCkolS 4N0hS0s
The following officials have beer
selected to conduct the 10 days racing,
beginning June 5, for the Agricultural
Fair Association here:
Edward Cole, presiding judge and
chief steward
Harry Price, associate judge and
clerk of the scales.
George S. Nicholas and James Mer-
ryman, associate stewards.
Harry White, paddock and patrol
judge.
John Farrell, secretary.
James Milton, starter.
The dates selected by the Fair Asso
citation are June to Is, inclusive.
DR.. Hill president of the Fair Asso-
citation, has opened offices at 2O3
Equitable Building, and the preliminary
business of the meeting will be con-
Quoted from that end.
Maryland will be admirably repre-
scented in the stewards stand; both Mr..
Nicholas and Mr.. Merryman are Balti-
moreans, and experienced horsemen.
A few years ago Mr.. Nicholas was one
of the cleverest amateur riders in the
country and now he is a breeder. Mr..
Merryman is breeder of fine horses
and live stock in the Green Spring VAL
ley.
Mr.. Price, who will represent Wash l.
n g ton, is member of the editorial
staff of Washington paper, but he is
better known to the horse fraternity
as owner of the famous old campaigner
Superstition, Virginia-bred gelding
by Aldine, who twice compelled the
horse that beat him in the Bowie stakes
at Pimlico step off two miles in record
time.
Mr.. Cola and Mr.. White are profess
sional racing officials and they have
served in important Offices in various
parts of the United States and Canada.
Recently Mr.. Cole was presiding judge
at Norfolk Mr.. James Milton, the
starter, learned his game under the
tutelage of Mars Cassidy and gave
general satisfaction on the half-mile
tracks in Canada, last summer. He
has started here before.
The program will offer special in
ducements to owners of chasers this
Spring, and the management expects
to get every good leaper that has not
gone to Canada.
The program book is out. There will
be six races daily and the the condi-
lions are framed with view of bring
ing to the post horses that raced at
Pimlico in such manner to insure, close
finishes and truly run races.
Special attention will be paid to 2
year-old racing and steeplechasing.
There will be purse for juveniles
every day, and provision will be made
for at least two 'chases each week.
The probability is that the cross
country game will be good from the
start. Only a small percentage of the
jumpers which took part in the recent
spring session of the Maryland Jockey
Club at PIN leo went to Canada, and
the ones that remained behind will be
idle after the three-day session of the
MARYLAND United Hunts at Pimlico I'M
til the hunt meetings of the East be-
gin later in the month.
A large force of men are at work on
the grounds, race track and sceeple-
chase course and everything will be in
readiness for the opening day.
