schools and one other 10 be chosen by
the committee shall have charge OF the
contest in each county to determine
the county representative.
3. The contest shall be open to
boys who shall on October /, 1918, be
between u and II years Of age, and
shall be based one-half on elementary
school subjects and one'hali on agri-
culture according to rules to be an
nouuced by the committee.
The representative selected under
these rules shall have no claim on the
Fair for their expenses in going to the
fair or returning from it, but it shall be
the duty Of the fair TO furnish free en-
tertainment, instruction and supervision
during the fair. Failure on the part Of
any county representative to comply
with the camp requirements shall be
ground for expulsion and shall cancel
any obligation Of the fair.
S. The boys Of the B. S. F. S.
shall give one half Of their time during
the fair to such duties as the committee
shall prescribe. The other part Of
their time shall be devoted to study Of
the exhibits under expert direction.
6. An examination will be con-
Quoted in each county between Sep
tember lst and 18th, 1918, to deter
mine the county representative. The
grades in this examination shall be
based one-lourth on each Of the fol-
lowing:
(a) An essay Of $50 TO 800 words
on Corn Growing"
(b) Five questions in elementary
agriculture.
(c) Five questions in arithmetic.
(d) Five questions in geography.
Questions in the last three subjects
will be furnished by state manager.
This is the first attempt of the kind
in this state and it is to be hoped that
the county superintendent will urge
the boys OF their respective counties
to enter this contest. The successful
boy will have an opportunity to enjoy
the fair and receive valuable instruction,
with only the cost OF transportation.
While at the lair the boys will be in
charge Of competent supervisors and
no parent need have any fear about
their safety. Every effort will be made
by the Board Of Agriculture to make
this boys school a pleasant and prof
liable occasion.

President Wilson will endeavor TO
hav: currency bill put through the
special session Of congress, although
its consideration will be necessarily
brief in both houses. Perhaps the
democratic caucus will adopt it and
then the majority in both houses will
take it straight and put it over without

senator from in 1908 from William
Joel elStone. Stone interIered, however,
and had the measure so amended as
to make impossible fair and square
contest before the people. Under
that law, proposed and framed to meet
the then peculiar party situation, and
to make the deIeat Of Stone possible,
Folk went before the people and really
won the nomination, but it was given
to Stone through the usual corrupt
practices employed by St. Louis dem
ocratic bosses. Stone was elected
subsequently by the democratic ma
iority in the Legislature but remained
fearful Of what the ballot boxes in St.
Louis might reveal in case any way
should be found to open them. It
will be remembered that Governor
Hadley challenged him to have the
ST. Louis ballots recounted but he in
sisted on the destruction Of those bal
lots as soon as the time fixed By law
for their preservation had expired.
Now that senator from Missouri to
succeed Stone is to be nominated at
the regular primary election in August,
1914, to be held under all the safe
guards provided by law, Mr.. Folk
thinks he sees chance to defeat the
old senator, He will make a vigorous
campaign lor the nomination. II is
not likely that any third man will stand
in between Folk and Stone in the
democratic senatorial fight.

COmpetitiOn with Low Wages.

In spite Of any effort that may be
made by the Wilson administration to
prevent manufacturers and employers
generally from reducing wages TO meet
the new conditions to be created by
the on-UnderWood tariff bill, the
wage scale will be lowered in every
line Of employment heretofore pro-
tected from competition with the pro-
ducts Of cheap labor in other countries.
High wages have been paid by EN-

The lananise Problem.

Japan, having become a nation Of
intelligence and progress, with splen'
did record in war, in craftsmanship, in
commerce, in arts and in the refine
ments Of modern civilization, is justly
proud. Her 52,OO0,00O people de-
mand OF other nations fair and impair
tial treatment. Her citizens who emf
CRATE to other countries are to be de-
Tended and protected. Her statesmen
decline to be classed lower than the
statesmen OF other countries, and, as
they are educated, refined, polished
and prudent they are we'll received
everywhere.
It is with such a people Americans
are dealing now. They are full Of
pride and are progressive along all
lines, They are not "iussy" but they
demand merited recognition. A few
enterpriSing Japanese having crossed
tho Pacific and having leased or bought
lands in Pacific coast states, where they
compete with American farmers and
gardeners and fruit raisers, Japanese
statesmen object to their humiliation
by the enactment Of alien land and
labor laws intended to prevent their
prosperity. Such laws seem all right

VIM, J. Bryan, Secretary Of State, is
very favorable to the proposed treaty
under which our country may obtain
the exclusive right to cross Nicaragua
with a canal connecting the two oceans.
Now that it has been demonstrated
that american engineers know how to
dig a big ditch perhaps the proposition
to dig another one and thus have two
American highways between the oceans
will become popular.

vote, would have US believe that the
people want what the democratic legis-
lature gave them. Both the president
and the Missouri democratic leaders
will know full we'll, in a short time,
that the people do not want what dem
ocratic law givers force upon them.
The people Of this state and Of this
country are rational and reasonable.
They no not want radical legislation.
They certainly do not want competition
with cheap foreign capital and foreign
labor, nor do they want low wages and
a period OF industrial depression. The
people OF this state do not want unsafe
insurance, however cheap; nor do they
want a state pay roll burdened with
the names and claims Of faithful dem
ocratic party workers whose chief plea
for employment was devotion to the
political interests Of the man who was
elected governor on the democratic
ticket. Having almost doubled the
state pay roll, over appropriated the
revenue more than a million dollars and
made many other blunders, the demo
Gratis Of Missouri are in deep trouble
now and getting in deeper every day.

THE AVERAGE MAN.

His face had the grimness OF granite,
1t was bleached and bronzed by the sun,
Like the coat on his poor, STOPPING shoulders,
And his hands showed the work he had done.
His dim eyes were weary and patient,
And he smiled through his pallor and tan,
A wistful, sad smile as if saying;
"I'm only an average man."
Il can't be hero or poet,
Nor dictator wearing a crown;
Pm only the hard-working servant
OF those set shove me. I'm down,
I'm down, and it's no use complaining;
III get on the best way can;
And one O these days' come morning
And rest for the average man."
He wages all battles and wins them,
He builds all turets that tower
Over walls Of the city to tell
OF the rulers and priests Of the hour.
Without him the general is helpless,
The earth but place and plan.
He moves all and clothes all and feeds all,
This sad-sning average man.
y y y y
I swear that the builder no longer
To me shall be less than the plan.
Henceforward be guerdon and glory
And hope for the Average Man.

MAY FORCE UP U. S. BONDS
Controller of Currency May Call
for More on Deposit.

The head of a Wall Street bond house
which deals extensively In government
issues said yesterday that he had re-
ceived information from several national
banks throughout the country that they
had arranged to apply for state charters
unless certain changes are made In the
proposed currency bill. To this attitude OF
bankers he attributed the weakness in
government bonds.
The report that the Secretary Of the
Treasury may decide TO "cal from the
national banks a part Of the 500, 900. 90
bonds they now hold as security for ma
tional bank note issues" In order to
"checkmate bear sellers Of government
bonds" was not taken seriously I'm bank
ing circles. The national banking act, II
was pointed out, does not confer any
power on the Treasury Department to
"call in" any Of the United States bonds
when they fall below par.
What the act does provide, however is
that the Controller Of the Currency may

tionai deposits Of bonds or OF lawful
money in case the market value of the
bonds held 10 secure the circulating notes
