THE FARMERS MEETING

Quite q delegation of farmers
from Metropolis met at the court
house this forenoon to form a CO.
operative organization. James Jen-
sen was elected temporary chairman
and Horton Hammond temporary
secretary.
The forenoon session was taken
up by an. address by A. Y Satter-
field, organizer for the Farmers
Society of Equity. Mr.. Satterfeld
urged the farmers to cooperate in
selling and marketing their pro.
ducts. He told wha, had been ac-
complishej in Idaho in that line as
yell as in buvinS farm machinery
and other thing needed on the
farm dire,t from the manufactur-
er. The savings ma c by the farm
ers of Idahu was the direct result
of cooperation and he urged the
farmers of NEvada To organize and
reap the full reward of their toll.
At the conclusion Of his address.
Mr.. Satterfisld answered a few
questions and the meeting adjourn
ed until 2 O'clock.
The attendance was not as large
as it should have been. There are
locals of the society in this county
at Metropolis, Starr Valley, La
noble and South Fork and dele
gates were expected from each, but
Metropolis was the only local re.
presented.
The LemoiIle local was repre-
sented at the afternoon meeting.

organization before the meeting

is TO GRAPE JUICE
DIPLOMACY

What has become of the cry that
American diplomacy is the laughing
stock of the world?
Just a few months ago we werc
told in the columns of scores of
papers trat the grape juice methods
If the present administration were
81 absuri that this country was Il
joke
Several nations of the old world
we're pointed out, particularly Ger
many, az examples Of what a real
world power should be. The for
eign poll y Of President Wilson tas
called week, childish, and he vas
accused If "truckling," whatever
that may &c
We wcfe told in sonorous SEN
fences that the nation needed a
strong hand to deal with the Mexi-
can situation. The policy of
watchful waiting was the cause of
much amusement. Where are our
critical friends who Ionged for a
strong policy built on an European
model?
They are too busy just at present
dcnouncing militarism which has
plunged a world into war and the
pcrniciOuS alliances which convert
ed a bonti c into n giant conflagra-
tion TO find time to continue their
condemnation of The grape juice
diplomacy which has kept this coun-
try at peace amid wars flame.
No mpre are We told of the
beauties and civilizing influence Of
The vord and the ennobling effects
Of rapid fire guns. Under the
policy of Nat'hful waiting a civil
lied government is being erected
in Mexico.
The credit far this result belongs
&c President Wilson. At one time
after the departure Of Huerta,
when Carranza refused 10 make
terms with his successor, practically
all the members of the presidents
cabinet strongly favored furcible
intcrventi n. Bot the president
stood fiji IN
EUrcpe's strong foreign policies
and Il tangle Of alliances have bred
a war ich stands alone in his
tory in magnitude and in the num-
Der Of men involved.
Watchf | waiting bids fair to
bring pea c TO a troubled nation
and lay the foundations for a gov

Echoes from the Baptist Pulpit.
BY THE PASTOR.

tudt IeAl IRON MS lips, the EaStOr
spoke on "The Working Church"
last Sunday morning. Our souls
were stirred to the depths as we
caught a new vision of the work
that our church ought to be doing
for suffering, sin-befooled, devil
blinded humanity.
Sometimes we think we are
doing swell enough" and are con-
tent to let that do, but the truth
is we have simply been playing at
religion and have fallen far short
of our privileges. Because we
have been blessed of God in the
giving to US of 1877 new memb bers
IN the past l5 months; aud of our
church paying more than thous,
and dollaIs to Missions since the
first of last january; the prompt
payment of the pastors salary on
the first OF each month; with our
incidentals we'll cared for, we are
satisfied with ourselves. There
are greater things in store for
Water Valley Baptists. We had
our house filled with earnest
seekers after the old time truths
of the Gospel again at the evening
service, at the close of which we
administered the ordinance OF
baptism.
Next Sunday morning the Pas
tor will speak on "The Valley of
Dry Bones While this subject
was applicable to the people OF
Ezekiel's day and time, we believe
it equally applica BILE to the people
of Water Valley at the present day
and time. Sunday evening the
subject will be: Looking for
Man" We can find plenty OF
human beings stalking around the
streets and market places wearing
a pair of pantaloons, but it takes
more than that to make real man.
It takes more than few gold
letters on a shingle to make law
yer; more than a beautifully
painted sign physician and Sur
geon" to make a doctor: more than
a cap and gown to make judge;
more than long tail coat and
white tie to make a preacher;

Winners of
the Western
Handicap
Contest Among che CLOSEST In Recent
TrapsheetIng
Annals

Trapshooters all over the country
regard the Western Handicap as one
Of the half dozen biggest events in
a branch Of sport which is growing
in popularity by leaps and bounds
They look forward to this shoot as
baseball fans and players look for
ward to a major league championship
series, and its results are talked of
for many weeks afterward. The ninth
annual Western Handicap tourna-
ment was decided this month over
the traps of the Green Bay Game and
Gun Club at Green Bay, Wisconsin,
and furnished as keen and exciting
contests as could possibly be asked.
Frank Schwalbe, La Crosse, Wis
consin amateur, captured the Western
Handicap the premier contest Of the
tournament, shooting a Remington
pump gun and Nitro Club shells and
making the remarkable score Of 80
out of 100 targets at 10 yards. So
keen was the race for high honors
that first place was not settled until
the seventeenth squad had finished
competing at trap No. 8.
]. F. Caldwell of Concordia, Kan
sas, with Remington pump gun and
Arrow shells, won the Preliminary
Handicap by breaking 9S out Of a
possible 100, shooting from the 20
yard mark. Caldwell also had a long
run of 1902 straight. Another OF
the brilliant amateurs at Green Bay
was F. G. Fuller of Mukwonago,
Wisconsin, shooting a Remington gun
for second place in the Western
Handicap, 90 out of 100 at 20 yards;
the high average record on 16 yard
targets, $40 out Of $50; the high av
erage record on all targets. including
handicaps and doubles, GA out o.
700; and the longest straight run
1873.
Such records indicate the higl
class work that characterized thi
tournament. One hundred and se'
enteen different shooters compete
and there were 95 entries in the We'
tern Handicap. The tournament wa
| finely handled by Elmer e. Shane

Is every reason to expect that tn

byFarn,er
United States Experts Tell How to
Fight the
Pest

The stockmen Of Northern Texas,
Oklahoma and the grain belt to the
north Of them are now confronted
with conditions which may bring
about q serious outbreak Of the Sta
BILE fly similar to that experienced In
many sections in 1918. The unusual.
ly large grain crop Of this year will
give rise to very large number Of
strawstacks. A considerable number
Of these fiies are now present, and
with q period of rainy weather, Q
horde Of them may be expected.
1t has been shown by investigations
conducted by the bureau Of entomol.
ogy, United States department of az.
riculture. that these flies breed in
fermenting straw. They prefer the
straw Of oats or rice, but will pro.
duce large numbers in wheat, rye
or barley.
Where the manure pile cannot be
spread out. 1t should be scattered
over with powdered borax, but in the
grain growing section the care OF the
straw after thrashing il by far the
most important step in the control Of
this pest.
All oat straw should be baled and
then protected from the weather. II
portions Of stacks become wet BY the
rains they should 30 scattered over
the fields or burned - soon ~ pos
sible. Where this is impracticable
the wet portions may be treated with
powdered borax.
To prevent animals from the flies
rub them with this: One gallon fish
oil; two ounces oil of tar; two ounc
es oil Of pennyroyal and half pint Of
kerosene. Work animals may be
largely protected by placing blankets
over their backs and trousers or
their legs.

man station In the Samoan group Of
islands.
The Islands Of Savaii and Upolu in
this group are German possessions.
with q good harbor at Apia.
The United States has naval base
and coaling station at Page Page on
the Island Of Tutuila in the Samoan
group. Pago Page is the most valu-
able anchorage In the South Pacific
and is equal II not superior to any
in the entire Pacific.

The harbor, however. has q capa.

date. II necessary, the entire navy
Of the United States. This country
also owns the Island Of Manua and
other Insignificant islands Of this
group.
The Samoan group. which is thus
divided between Germany and the
United States, is 4,160. miles south
west Of San Francisco. 1t Is almost
the same number of miles southeast
Of Yokohama in Japan. In other
words, the Samoan Islands are the
lower point of triangle whose 9TH

Just about half way between Sa
moa and San Francisco is the Hawai-
ian group of islands where at Pearl
Harbor the United States has its
most important Pacific naval base

Would Have Stepping Stone
Should Japan seize the German
possessions in Samoa. she would fol
the first time have possible naval
station in the mid-Southern Pacific
ocean. Military authorities see also
menace to the peaceful possession
by the United States Of the wonder

Japan that the latter country has
no designs on Samoa. At the same
time 1t is accepted as strong prob
ability that unless Great Britain
takes the German possessions at Sa-
moa herself, Japan will feel that
there is a military necessity and
will send a detachment from her
feet to take the harbor Of Apia.
Great Britain has numerous bases
and possessions in the South Pacific
and 1t ought not to be difficult for the
British navy to take Apia.
