Farmers Meeting.

As advertised last week, a meeting
of the farmers of the county was held
at the court house on Tuesday after
noon of this week for the purpose of
considering the advisability of securing
a county agricultural agent.
The attendance was good. in fact it
was one of the best attended farmers
meetings that we have ever had in our
town.
D. N. Frear, state and government
superintendent of agriculture gave a
most interesting and instructive talk on
the question Of a county agricultural
agent.
At the close of his talk the pupils of
the high school, who were attending
the meeting, favored the audience with
a couple of songs well rendered and
gave q number of high school yells.
DC. Bascom, county agricultural
gent of Logan county, followed with a
very interesting talk on the work he
has been engaged in since accepting
that position.
At 7:30 IN the evening another ses-
sion was held at which Mr.. Frear gave
short talk on the necessary county or
ganization of the farmers in order to
handle the work of the county agricul-
tural agent. He was followed by a
talk by Mr.. Bascom illustrated by views
shown by his lantern and slides showing
the work he had been engaged in as
agricultural agent for Logan county.
The large audience Of farmers gave
these speakers their closest attention
and seemed much interested in the talks
The time was 30 fully occupied that
there was no opportunity for any ex-
preston Of opinion or discussion of the
question but, judging from the interest
shown, the proposition seemed to take
very favorably with the audience.
There is no question about the bene
fits to be derived by the farmers from
the work Of county agricultural agent
well informed and equipped for work
along that line. Suce . man could, by
devoting his entire time to such work,
very materially aid the farmers in OBJ
tanning more satisfactory results from
their farming. stock raising and dairy
industries. e.
Logan county seems well pleased
with the work Of their county agent
and Morgan county is organizing with
a view to. employing an agent and will
probably be the next county In the
state to take up this work.
The state agricultural college has
been assisting in this work by helping
pay the salary Of the county agent but,
owing to the crippled condition Of the
state finances is not able to do any
thing in this line at present.
II the farmers Of the county take
hold Of this work, the sooner action ID
taken the better for the counties will
be listed in the order Of their accept
ance Of the proposition and will receive
aid in that order from the agricultur !
college when 1t is again able to give aid
This is question that must be decid.
ed by the farmers Of the county for
themselves. OF course all the business
Of the county 10 dependent upon the in
dustries Of the farm and in this sense
all the business Of the county is inter.
ested in this question but the farm in
dustries are the industries to be direct,
benefited by the acceptance Of such
proposition and hence the farmers
should pass upon the proposition.

FANS PROTESTING
 50 MANY BOUTS Fighters are Growing Stale With Too Frequent En-
 agreements.
l. INSKY AT IT
Public Is Looking to a Battle Between Him and "GunbOat" Smith. Fore $ most "White Hope" Contenders.
(By FRANK G: MENKE)

New York, March 1.-The fight fane here have risen up in protest against the new practise of boxers performing two and three times a week because eventually it forces the scrappers to do lot of "stalling."
 Battling Levinsky, "white hope and war horse, started the fashion here some months ago when he mingl- ed in about three bouts each and every week. For a while the public huzzahed loudly at the gameness of the battler Other fighters, seeing r. was fine little publicity stunt and incidentally money getter, fol- lowed suit.
 For while the pace did not affect Levinsky, and he went along at a whirlwind clip. But there's limit to even the greatest endurance pewers, and the continuous perform ance h'.s begun to tell on Levinsky. He has been forced to slow up, and in most of his recent bouts he has been inclined to "stall'' and thereby save his strength for the next battle. The me is true of the other ring warriors, The result is that most of the recent bouts around here nave been little more than "stalllng" matches-and the public has called hault.
 The public just now is demanding a meeting between Battling IeVlnsKy and Gunboat Smith, the acknowledged leaders in the ''White Hope sllne. Leyinsky is quite willing to meet Smith, but the Gunboat person seems to be coy about swapping punches with the ferocious Hebrew.
 Smith seems to take the atutude ol "when Levinsky gets reputation III meet him." But, from any angle you view it. Levinskys reputation rlgh' now seems to- be equal, even superior +o Smiths. The battler lately has been putting to sleep large huhoei of "white hopes" that were many nounds heavier than he-and doing Il with ease. Smith in the meantime has been resting on his laurels.
 sSmith is afraid to meet LevlnsKy ranarks Dan Morgan, manager oi 1evinsky. "He knows if they eyer meet Uevinsky will put him to sleel in a hurry
 How about it, Mister Gunboat?

.BIG LEGAL ACTION
 AGAINST LEHIGH ROAD
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WOULD FORCE RAILROAD TO DISPOSE OF ANTHRACITE
 HOLDINGS.
Claims Have Been Made That Road and Subsidiary Organizations to
 Form Conspiracy

Washington, March 1S.-Proceed- ings in equity were instituted against the Lehigh Valley railroad, subsid- aries and sixteen individuals today in the United States District Court of New York to compel the companies to dispose of it's anthracite coal land holdings.
 United States District Attorney Marshall filed the suit which charges the defendants with being part to a conspiracy in the restraint of trade and a monopolization, by attempting to harness the production, of trans pcrtation and sale of anthracite coal other than their own.
 It is claimed that the defendants have been and are attempting to monopolize the production, trans2or- tation and sale of coal from mines along their lines. This is being done it is stated by the railroad acquiring control of such mines and lands, by acquiring control of the output of independent producers and by exert ing the power of the Lehigh railroad; to give undue preference and adsdA- tages to the coal producing and trade companies controlled by it, and to discriminate against competitors.
 Following the filing of the briefs at i o'clock this afternoon the De partment of Justice was informed of the resignation of George s. Baer, President of the Reading Railroad Company from his office as director of the Lehigh Valley. The action oi MT. Baer was attributed mainly 10 the impending suit against the an- thracite coal trust in order to dis solve interlocking directoratss.

Lawyers Wage Battle in Big Legal Case

Elizabeth, Y. J., March 19.-Mem- bers of the fashionable set of Eliza beth are. enjoying thrills a-plenty at the trial of Mrs. Nelson l.. Pollard in the now famous poison pen case. The sensational charge that Mrs. Tom Jones, sister-in-law of Mrs. Charles F. Jones, who is plaintiff, is the author of the scurrilous letter re- ceived by Mrs. Charles F. Jones and alleged to have been written by Mrs. Pollard has been forgotten by the throng that daily jams the courtroom. Their interest is now centered chiefly in the bitter spats between the prose- cutcr and Mrs. Pollard's attorney. The two barristers have frequently been on the verge of discarding words and utilizing their fists. Once when a fistic combat seemed imminent, the head of Judge Connolly's gavel flew off and barely missed the head of the prosecutor. The latter then turned the fire of his ire upon the judge, who had a difficult time in explaining that the missile had not been inten- tionally thrown.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-03-19

han. now manager of the White SoX, Clark Griffith, now manager of the Senators and Nick Altrock, oachcr, are the only players who played i'll 19ol who still are drawing salaries from American l.ea&re clubs.
 But it's bit different on the Ma tioual League which carried and played regularly in 1918 nearly 9 men who were in the game in 1901 and even earlier than taht datc. In cluded in this list are Eagner, Bres- nahan, MattheWson, Ames, Camnitz. lIuggins, E've"s. Tinker. Mccormick. Brown, Wiltse, Needham, Dooin, King and Mclean.
 Glancing over the 1903 rosters of the American and National Leagues. and comparing them with the present ones, shows that the Nationals still have nearly 70 men i'll their lincups who were there in 1909 while the Americans have only about 40. This means that the American Leaguers have weeded out the slipping stars of the other days and that the National Leaguers have hung onto them-and lost considerable prestige thereby.
 The result of these conflicting poli- cies has been shown in the inter- league clashes in the past few years. The American League outfits, com posed mostly of kids. have been able to sweep everything before them; the National League, with it's heavy mem bership of slipping veterans, have slowed up and have had to yield be- fore the onslaught of the younger or ganization
 It seems to be up to the National Leaguers to weed out the veterans and let the bench warming kids ooze out into the spotlight if they want to save themselves from slipping to a minor league status when compared with the speed boys of the American Leaaue. The new organization has forged ahead so rapidly in the past few years, has so clearly outclassed the Nationals. that many skeptlcal fans are declaring that the Nationals today, despite their galaxy Of stars, do not rank superior to the first di- vision teams in the Class A mlnof Leagues.

KEEPING VETERANS CRIPPLED MATS. Policy Has Given American Organization 9 Strong
 Lead.
EDGE FOR FOUR YEARs
Younger Organization keeps a Man Only as Long as He Proves
 Fit as q Player.
lBY Frank G. Menke.l

New York, March 1S.-Because they persist in hanging on to their veter- ans long after their real usefulness is gone-that's the reason why the National League once the elassiest organization in baseball has had to yield first place to the American League.
 There has been no denying of the fact that for the past four years the American League, teams have had It "on" their National rivals. The American Leaguers have been trl- umphant in the last four world series combats, and in the majority of post season games between the Americans and Nationals the teams of the young CT organizations have been triumph ant. In 1913 the American Leaguers were winners in every series in which they engaged with the Na- tionals.
 A glance through the baseball records shows the reason. The American League keeps star player as long as he performs in major league style--but not one day long CT. They cut him adrift when he starts to skid and supDlant him with new blood-bring to the fore some youngsters who soon shine just as

brightly as did the stars of old
 With the National League it is diff ferent. Sentiment seems to cause them to keep in the regular lineup many old stars long after they have slowed up--lOng after added years have robbed them of their former proWess and made them inferior to the youngsters who are camping on the benches waiting to braek in
 Looking over the 1904 records of the American League, and comparing til erosters of those days with that of 1914, shows that only five men of the 400 odd, then, in that League are still in American League harness. Those men are: Lajoie and Turner. of the Maps, Crawford of the Tigers, and Bender and plnak of the Athlet- ics.
