SHOWS GREAT VALUE TO NATION
Leader of Agricultural School mas
Many Interesting Facts in Regard to
Relation of the Farmer and Business
Men-Gather at Dinner Today.

Kenosha retailers had chance TO
learn something of the great value OF
the farm and the farmer to the pros
perity of the city, state and nation on
Tuesday evening when Prof. X. Il.
Hatch of the Agricultural school of the
University of Wisconsin was the guest
of honor at meeting and banquet of
the Kenosha Retailers association.
Plates were laid for fifty at the meet
ing and it was in the nature of d
Booster meeting" for the coming
farmers institute. Today at noon the
boosting work was continued when
members of the committee in charge
Of the institute to be held in Kenosha
met with the committee of men from
the various towns in the county at the
Hotel Kenosha A score of merchants
and farmers gathered at dinner to dis
cuss the best methods of getting d
stronger bond of sympathy between
the people of the city and those in tho
rural districts These meetings are to
be held at stated intervals and it is ex-
pected that they will prove Of great
value.
At the banquet on Tuesday evening
Prof Hatch spoke on the subject:
The Relationship of the Farmer and
the Business Man" He said in part:
sfThe farmer today mas bigger av-
.erage investment than the business
nat ad requires the best and most
improved methods in farming to make
it a success, and the big business men
throughout Wisconsin especially have
come to realize that the farmer desires
their cooperation in solving the big
problems of the farm.
Through this necessity for improved
methods, the farmer today has been
raised up from the ranks of mere
farmer to p real business man.
The business of the city depends
largely upon the prosperity of the farm
er. One thing that will help the
farmer to become more efficient and to
meet the ever increasing demands made
upon him at this time is the conscious
ness of the fact that there is a great
responsibility ana dignity in his call
ing
One Of the problems of the farm is
to CRIB the shifting of rural popula-
tion to the cities Prof. Hatch stated
that statistics showed Kenosha county
to be one OF the few counties in Wis
eonsin where the rural population has
not been materially decreased by this
common shift. He contended that the
next generation will witness a great
counter shift to the farm from the cit
les.
The cry of the farmer has always
been for help. At present this demandi
is greater than ever, but no one to fill
the places. In order to make it more
pleasant and desirable FOR farm help
the business men of the cities should CO..
operate with the farmer and help him
solve the question.
Big businesses throughout the coun-l
try are spending millions in improving
rural conditions, because they know
their prosperity will be in proportion,
to the prosperity of the farmer"
He paid great respect to the parcel
post, and said that the small business
man would realize on it just as soon as
a mutual feeling exists between mer-
chant and farmer

Report of Clean Up Day Committee

The Clean Up Days which
were set aside by the Town in
Cooperation with the Board of
Trade have passed and with a
large degree of success. There
are some parts of the town, how
ever, that show no signs of hav-
ing seized this opportunity. Per-
haps this lack of interest was
due, somewhat, to neglect. If
this be true, the true spirit of
cooperation seems to be lacking
some where.
For those who have not seized
this opportunity, next week will
offer ample time for the compile
ton of Cleaning Up Roanoke
Rapids, since the various Mills
of this community will be shut
down,
It is hoped that the people will
feel the need of keeping our
town clean, thereby maintaining
the high standard of health tc
which it has been brought by
such means.
1t is the duty, then, of every
citizens who feels proud of his
town to get in behind this move
ment next week.

Snotherly was in fine form and

tie damage was done.
In winning this game, the
Patterson Mills team left posi-
ton at the foot of the league
and if they continue playing the
ball they have played for the
past few weeks, the team has a
good chance for coming even
farther to the front,
Hughes for the Rapids pitched
a good game, allowing only six
hits during the nine frames but
did not get the support the Pat
terson Mills gave Snotherly.
While the Patterson Mills played
very near an errorless game, the
Roanoke Rapids team perpetrat-
ed seven.

frames, it was strictly anothing,
