Several counties in KentGcky
have such agents and they are
doing the greatest possible good
TO the sections they serve, in
many ways. In Alabama this
work is developed 20 a high state
of efficiency, there being now a
county agent for every county in
that state. This farm demon
stration work by the Department
of Agriculture has only been in
operation for about eight years
and was begun in the cotton
states in effort 60 overcome the
loss caused by the boil weavil.
Agents are sent to teach the
farmers of the South how to grow
other things than cotton and they
have learned to such an extent
that those who know now say
the boil weavil has been a dis
tinct blessing through having
brought education to the farmer
ia this general demonstration
work and the diversified money
crops that followed. The money
for this work has come from the
General Educational Board. 1t
is donated through the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, which is responsible to the
donors for its proper expendi-

welfare of more than two and one
half million workers and a year.
ly output of two billions of dol
lars, will gather in Philadelphia
the latter part of October to at
tend the sixteenth annual con-
vention of the American Mining
Congress to discuss mining prob
lens and to witness the first ma
tional display of mining machin-
cry ever held in this country.
In view of the rapid strides
being made by the mining indus
try and the almost revolutionary
changes in behalf of greater safe
for the men, it is believed that
this will be the greatest national
rally ever held by any industry.
With the changes have come
problems of far reaching impor-
lance which will be discussed by
men of countrywide prominence.
The safety feature will un-
doubtedly occupy a large place in
both the convention and the min
Ing show or exposition. The de-
sire of the operators and mining
men generally to better safe
guard their men who work in the
dark underground passages has
lead to a multitude of safety de-
vices and this will be the oppor-
tunity for the mining man to de-
eide for himself what is most eff
ficient and best adapted to his
work.
The West, which is very much
interested in the conservation of
human life in the mines will be
largely represented at the con-
wention and mining show. Mem.
hers of the Congress and other
Interested men are now arrang-
lag for three special trans-conti-
nental trains that will bring them
in safety and comfort from the
Pacific coast to Philadelphia.
One of these trains is to start
from Los Angeles, another from
San Francisco. and third from
Seattle, Wash. These trains will
pick ND mining men from all the
important mining camps in the
West. The Iron and copper men
of Minnesota and Michigan are
also planning a special train to
the convention and it is expected
that at least two trains will be
made up at Chicago. The Illi-
nois men are hoping to obtain
authority from the state to take
with them one of the mine res
cue cars of the state, fully equip
ped with rescue and first-aid ap-
paratus aud a crew of trained
men.
The great coal companies of
Pennsylvania are now making
arrangements for a number of

GREAT THINGS PLANNED

up and make sure, as it ia be-
lieved it will, the work of secur-

fund to carry on this indispen-
sible work here
The plan of the work is the
Out of the fund referred to the
Department of Agriculture will
payS600 year to the County
Agent. As much or more is to
be raised locally in the county
by private subscrigtion or by
appropriation. Only by such CO.
Operation can the werk be under
taken. In other words the De-
partment aud the General Edu-
.cational Board will only agree to
help people who are willing also
to help themselves. iThe exam
pie set by the few men who at
tended the Wednesday meeting
and raised the fand stated should
be quickly followed by other
public spirited citizeas, so that
this arrangement may be made
certain while the opportunity
lasts. In some oonn ties in Ken

done by the Agent is the educa-

will bring the farmer to see Wis

Mutchler quoted a friend as hav-
ing said that when a nan reach
ed the point where he saw such |
visions, "the rising beA has hang |

The county Agent wo0ld get,
in each of several locations, ac-

the country, a little plot of

place where he would be accessi-

FOLEY'S WINNING
STRING BROKEN
MorristoWn Beaten by Mend
ham In Second Game Of Series.

Though Iron Man" Foley pitched
good ball against the Mendham B..
B. A. Saturday afternoon his team
mates of the Saturday association
failed to back him up. They con-
tributed five errors and also failed TO
put any runs in the bank, Mendham
taking the game by score of five
to nothing. This was the second
game of the series.
It was in the first two innings that
the Mendhams tailed. The first in-
ming Kurfess grounded out Doyle to
Horgan. Doyle failed to get Wiley's
bounder and the speedy short stop of
the visitors halted on second base.
Foley famed Sullivan but Beavers
came through with a two-sack drive
to center that scored Wiley. Hillock
failed to get Gus Days drive to left
and it went for two bases, scoring
Beavers. Opdyke singled to center
scoring Day. Buchanan ended the in
ming Doyle to Horgan.
Gross started the second inning
with a fly to Conway. Vance poled
out a two-sack swat to center. Kur-
fess was out via Doyle and Horgan.
Vance scored on Wiley's single to
center. Wiley was cut down In an
attempt to steal second.
Mendham did not threaten the plate
after that until the eighth. Kurfess
started this session with single
and Foley put him on second with a
wild pitch. Stelce made frizzle of
Wiley's bounder and Foley threw out
Sullivan. Kurfess scored on Beavers
sacrifice fly to West and Day ended
the inning with fly to Hillock.

ACTIVITY, IN LOCAL POLITICS
MARKS COMING OF PRIMARIES
doreed by the Republican
Ward Committees.

The local republican committees of
Morristown and Morris township had
a conference at Days last week and
talked over the situation, and ad-
journed to meet again last night.
There was a good attendance and a
general feeling of confidence in the
prospect of carrying the town in the
coming election. DR.. G. A. Becker
presided, with Frank D. Abel as Sec
retary.
The representatives of the sew
eral wards were called upon and an
nounced candidates as follows
First ward-Alderman, Stephen j.
Second ward-Alderman, Frederick
Horsefield; freeholder, Harvey L.
Mills.
Third ward-Alderman, C. Raymond
Shelley; freeholder, James A. Collins.
Fourth ward-Alderman, DR.. Cliff
ford Mills; freeholder, William j.
Ambrose.
Morris township--Committ
William d. Cronshey freeholder,
Harry L. Prudden.
1t was the general sentiment that
while the several senatorial candi-
dates who had announced their can
didacy were good men and deserved
well of their party, the candidacy of
former Judge Alfred Elmer Mills
would be so in accord with the gen.
eral sentiment of the people of the
county, progressives as we'll as re-
publicans, that he would be by far
the strongest man at the general
election. A committee was appointed
to interview Judge Mills and see If
he could be induced to accept of the
nomination. While he is not a can
didate it was hoped he would see his
way clear to consent to stand for the
office.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted expressing the sentiment of
the meeting to be in favor of the
Hon. Edward G. Stokes for governor.
Former Judge Willard w. Cutler
will be candidate for member from
Morris county of the democratic state
committee. No one, it is said, will
oppose him.
Neither democrats nor progressives
have completed their local states as
yet. John N Conkling will be a can
didate for alderman from the second
ward on the democratic ticket.
Michael p Norris is talked of as the
democratic candidate from the fourth
ward and Clifford S. Rutan for free
holder In the second ward the
Italians are planning to name Louis
Marinaro as the progressive candi-
date for alderman.

STOPS RUNAWAY HORSE.
Driver Ridge Adds Another to His
Lona List of Stops.

When William Savage's horse ran
away from the hotel stable yard In
which it had been left and took to
the sidewalk on Speedwell avenue
Saturday afternoon it gave Driver
William Ridge, of Resolute Hook and
Ladder company, an opportunity to
add another to the long list of run
aways he has caught. The horse
came tearing down the lane from the
rear of the Merchants block and
turned up Speedwell avenue. Shoppers
and children ran screaming for smell
ter. Ridge ran after the horse and
sprang for it but missed it. The
second time he succeeded in getting
the animal by the nostrils and stop
ped its career. The horse had no
bride upon it making it difficult to
handle but Ridge succeeded and prob
ably saved the lives of some of those
who thronged the street. During the
thirteen years he has been in the
fire department Ridge has sotpped
many runaw'ays.
