and resourceful man at work in a
county studying local experiences and
methods, and playing partners" with
farmers in introducing new methods
and modifying old ones. Often the
good local method is too local, and
can be very materially improved when
the man with the whole state as his
field work with the county man in
studying the local situation. Our ex-
perience is that the wise and re-
sourceful county agent is wiser and
more resourceful because he is fire.
quently visited on his job by the
the work other county agents are do
ings in other parts of the state. Ag-
riculture requires for its most sue
cessful practice the application of
many kinds Of knowledge. The most
resourceful county agent is constant
ly being asked questions which he can
not answer. Therefore, he needs the
help of some one who can connect him
directly with the best sources of sci
entifc information. In his state lead
er he has man who connects direct
ly with the Agricultural college and
experiment station and with the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
The county agent soon finds that
he needs occasionally to go outside of
his own county to get new ideas and
different methods. The county agent
is q common carrier of ideas in his
own county, getting ideas and hints
from one farmer or from many farm
ers and carrying them to such other
farmers as are or may be able to use
them. He himself must go outside
his own county for new ideas, for
there is as much need of common
carrier between county agents as
there is between farmers of the coun-
ty. 1t is one Of the tasks of the
state leader to carry new ideas and
new methods from county to county;
also one Of his privileges to bring
his county agents together from time
to time for conferences and even for
work outside the home county. The
men thus get the larger or the state
point Of view. They are no longer
mere county men with narrow county
ideas. They see a vision of the agri-
culture of a state, and SO they work
more effectively within the county
because they have caught the larger
vision and have come to appreciate the
county in its state relations. By thus
working with the county agents,
showing them the larger vision, and
bringing to them methods from other
counties and even from other states,
and helping them to see their local
problems in larger relations, the state
leader best serves his purpose as a
leader in agriculture.

by this time there should be by
right no colorado strike question. The
FEDERAL troops have been In control OF
the physical situation for almost a
month and In that time there has
been no violence OF any sort. The
trouble makers realized from the be-
ginning that there was no use IN TOOL
ing with men who were IN earnest In
the intention TO enforce law and order.
Peace being restored, the Immediate
consequence should have been the re-
sumption OF industry. The mines
ought TO nave been thrown open to
any and all workers, including strik-
ers, who chose to return and who were
acceptable to the mine operators. The
majority OF the strikers, no doubt,
could have resumed their Jobs II they
desired. Obviously the proper course
Tor those who didn't wish to resume
work or who couldn't get it was to
disperse and find employment else
where.
Instead OF this termination Of the
trouble we lind the situation still full
OF menace. The federal power has
been used not to restore normal con-

ally keeping them closed. The prohi-

The County Agent at Work in Colo
RADIO

The commissioners of Ell PasO coun-
ty were the first to make an apprO-
priatiOn to aid in financing county
agricultural agent, they being actively
supported by the Colorado Springs
Chamber of Commerce, under the
leadership Of Mr.. John Lennox. The
second county to make an appropria-
ton was Logan county, and though
the agent for Ell Paso county was the
first to be appointed, the Logan coun-
ty agent was the first actually at
work. The first state leader was ap-
pointed in Colorado; and the Colorado
Agricultural college was wise enough
and liberal enough to pay the entire
salary and expenses Of the state
leader from his appointment on the
first of November, 1912, until the last
Of June, 1913.
Colorado now has a district leader,

Lamar Nine Playing High Class Ball
Wins Hard Fought Game From
Rocky Ford
Standing of the Clubs

Another large crowd turned out to
Association Park last Sunday to see
the sixth game Of the schedule, the
contestants being Lamar and Rocky
Ford, the first and second teams Of
the race, and those who expected
hotly contested game were not dis
appointed, as it was one of the most
spectacular and best games ever play
ed in the valley. The teams were very
evenly matched and the game was de-
cided by the sensational pitching Of
Fred Littler in the pinches.
The first seven marks on the Bur-
ger score board were all ciphers, but
were only secured by some brilliant
playing. In the second Hoover Of
Rocky Ford got to first on hit, and
after Campbell had struck out, Whal-
en- drove the ball to left field for
what seemed to the crowd to be a
home run, but Caulk by a fast sprint
and brilliant catch saved the day, and
then made a long perfect throw to
first which doubled up Hoover and
retired the side.
In the third Swink reached first
ON an error and then Dunlap drove a
hot grounder towards Fred Littler.
He made q quick grab for the ball,
threw to Henry at second, and he to
Wallace at first for one Of the fastest
double plays ever seen on the Lamar
diamond. In Lamar's half Of the
fourth Skinner scored the first run
for the home team, and when Rocky
Ford came to the bat in the first half
Of the fifth it looked for a few min
utes like the fire works would begin,
as the bases were full and no one out
almost before the crowd could get its
breath. Littler then settled down, and
the next man up hit liner to him
which he fielded home for force out,
leaving the bases still full. The next
batter drove out sacrifice fly which
scored the man on third but relieved
the situation as it made the second
out. The next batter was retired at
first. In the sixth for Lamar Wallace
hit safely, and Skinner got to first
on an error but Petrie running for
Wallace was called out on the play,
then Caulk drove out a three bagger
and was followed by safe hit by Bud
Littler giving two more scores and
making the crowd feel safe. Another
batting rally came in the eighth when
Caulk got to first on an error and
hits by B. Littler, Coleman and Fred
Littler netted two more runs. In the
seventh with men on second and third
and no one out Littler pitched himself
out of the hole without allowing a
score, and in the ninth again got out
of tight place with only one score
against him.
Dunlap for Rocky Ford also pitched
a fine game and would have won it
against any other team in the league.
He struck out seven and gave one base
on balls, Iittler just matching these
figures. The Rocky Ford team all
played fine ball and made many
friends in Lamar. They were perfect
ly willing to play out the game and
were not defeated until the last man
was out in the ninth.
The large crowd was highly pleased
with the game and enjoyed the after
noon in spite of the bad wind which
kept the dust moving. The Lamar
band added its share to the entertain
ment. Below we give the box score:

was being searched to disclose whether it would
be hostile act for them to stand on American
soil, point their guns south and FIRE And now ap-
pears Gen Bliss upon the scene. If a single bull
let from either Mayterena's or Hills troops falls
on American soil, regardless of whether or not
any one is wounded, my force viii wipe whichever
side is responsible from the face Of the earth."
The Naco dispatches tell us he used those rude
rough words to tmid Mexicans We don't say
that he did; we refuse to let ourselves think it
yet But we can't blind ourselves to the fact that
there has been no more firing across the
border and no more killing of Americans; and we
were already committed to the theory that
just that very thing would happen if an
American soldier with the guns to back him
should ever so far forget himself and Washington
as to use such language. But Gen. Bliss must
not be hastily condemned. Washington has
hastened to his defense. He did not say it; he
could not have said anything shockngly i'm
polite The wires must have been crossed some
where. So we must wait patiently to learn the
truth, while we try to forgive those Americans
who, if they are not convinced that Bliss said it.
still cling to the hope that he did, and that he said
it without rubbing his hands and smiling ex-
pansive smile; that he ended the rule of pifle on
the border.

Too Soon to Condemn Bliss.

Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, of unblemished record as
a soldier, now in command of the United States
forces on the Mexican border, has right to expect
that his countrymen will suspend judgment until
the question OF his guilt innocence is determined
beyond question. He has had a dangerous situa-
ton to deal with and it may turn out that he has
acquitted himself with credit to his country. For
more than a week Mexican bandits, battling on
their own soil, had been firing the line, kill
ing and wounding Americans at Naco, Ariz Gentle
from Washington were met with the
assertion that no hostile acts were being commit
ted, and fresh volley or two. Carranza, respon-
sive to entreaty, sneeringly ordered his own par
tcular bandits to be more careful about potting
Americans, with little effect. Meantime our own
soldiers waited, possibly while international law

Corporations Without Rights.

An attempt has been made to create the impress
sion that the Colorado coal mine owners have
been guilty of reprehensible conduct in presenting
their side of the coal strike case to the public in
a series of carefully prepared statements. 1t was
an easy task for it is notorious that corporations
have no rights which anybody is bound to respect
and that they can be guilty of no more heinous
conduct than to their rights in public places
The only proper course for them to pursue is to
submit meekly to all the abuse which any ono
feels like heaping upon them. If they demand
fair play, they should be hanged. drawn, and
quartered and what is left of them should then be
boiled in oil and fed to the vultures.-Philadel-

1t is announced that the majority OF the prop
erty owners have accepted the awards announced
by the new Plaza condemnation commission. This
might have been anticipated, in view of the fact
that in sixteen of the twenty-four cases passed
upon by the commission in square 20 the awards
of the old commission, payment of which has been
patiently awaited for nearly two years. were affirm
ed without change. In each of these cases the
award was less than $4,000. But what about the
owners of the other eight parcels of land, ap-
praised by the old commission in excess of $4,000
each, but scaled down in every instance by the
new commission? 1t is scarcely probable that they
will accept without protest decision which, so far
as the public is advised, means in effect that every
award by the old commission of less than $4,000
was just and every one over that amount was un-
just Is the commission proceeding upon the theory
that it is compelled to reduce the amount property
owners to receive, and that the reduction must
be made wholly at the expense of owners of prop
erty which is little more valuable than the restl

The Deeper Cleanliness.
~ JOHN ID. BARRY.

LEANLINESS of mind is
- one of the most subtle of
all things to discuss, the most
elusive, the most mysterious.
Perhaps absolute cleanliness
of mind is impossible. The
very people who most love
purity, and who strive hardest,
not only in deed, but in
thought, to keep pure, are
often afflicted with shameful
thoughts. They, themselves,
would be slow to claim that
they possessed cleanliness of
