lFrom Tuesdays paily.l

C0RTEZ, Colo, Feb. 23.-Three
more Indians were killed and several
whites were wounded in battle be-
tween the Piutes and the posse, start
ing at midnight, according to reports
received here.
The Indians attempted to fight their
way out of Cottonwood canon, where
they retreated yesterday. Old Polk
directed the dash. The posse waiting,
| opened hot fire. The advance was
checked but, according to the latest
news, the battle is still in progress.
1t is known that three whites were
wounded and possibly more, it being
impossible to learn the exact number
or get complete details as the tele-
phone line has again gone out of COM
mission.
Piutes Reinforced by Navajos.
The battle is believed to be in prog
ress this afternoon as U. S. Marshal
Nebeker sent to Salt Lake for 5000
rounds of ammunition.
The Indians have been reinforced.
Warriors from the Navajo reserva-
ton, missing since Sunday, are re-
ported to have arrived at Bluff to
assist in the battle against the whites.
1t is impossible to determine the
full extent of the Indian casualties,
but it is believed .that many of the
wounded have been carried to the
hills.

County Agent to
Aid IN Farm

state. A brief resume of this
plan was given in a recent issue
of The Times.
The audience that heard Prof.
Morgan was not at all represent
ative of the town and county,
and it is to be hoped that he may
be secured for another address
when thousands can hear him.
Prof. Morgan, in discussing
Maryville, said that the growth
of Maryville is dependent upon
the growth of Blount county. Of
course, said he, the town will al
ways be in advance of the county,
but the people of Maryville and
Blount county should remember
that this section is primarily ag-
ricultural, and there will always
be a country hereabouts, with
fertile fields to be cultivated, and
the future of the county is de-
pendent upon the cultivation of
the soil and the cooperation OF
business men with the farmers,
rather than the establishment of
new industries in the town, as
important as these are. Mary
ville's most important industry is
it's farming industry, said ne, in
conversation with friends, and
this has been neglected too long.
In his address, Prof. Morgan
took up the organization of the
county into communities of CO.
operation, and said that If the
people of the county are to live
the largest lives and do the larg-
est service and get the largest
returns from their labors, then
they must cooperate. Co-opera-

farming can be practiced, anC
larger returns come to the farm
erS.
In continuing his address, Prof.
Morgan said that such an agri-
cultural society is purely an
educational organization, and
that it's effectiveness would be
dependent upon some interested
person who would devote his
time to the work. This remark
brought forth the statement by a
member of the board that none
would be enough interested as to
go around in the county, organize
the communities and develop
community spirit. Then Prof.
Morgan reached the point in his
address which is dearest to his
heart. He said that it would be
necessary for the county to have
on agent to do this work, and
that the court should make an
appropriation through it's educa-
tional department to provide part
of the salary of such an expert,
whose salary would be augment
ed through the division of extern
sion of the state and government,
with headquarters in Knoxville.
1t was then voted as the unani
nous opinion of the board, after
listening to this argument, con-
vincing as it was, that the court
could do no better than to make
an appropriation for the employ
ment of an agent. The agent |
would work under the direction
of the division of extension and
would at all times have at his
command as many special experts
as he needed, whose services.
would be furnished without ad-
1itional expense to the county.
c. F. Stripiin was formerly q
district agent in Blount county,
out a county expert would de-
vote all of his time and energies
o the work in the county, and

have at his command more he'll
from the experiment station a
Knoxville than did Mr.. Striplin
whose work here was one of the
most beneficial ever done in the
county. One farmer said, when
Mr.. Striplin came, that he would
be worth nothing to the county,
but when he was about to leave
that same farmer said he had
been worth hundreds of dollars
in actual money to him on his
farm, by his demonstrations, ad-
vice, suggestions, etc. And Mr..
Striplin's time was divided among
several counties. So it can be
pictured how much good one ex-
pert, who should devote all of his
time to the county, would do.
Prof. Morgan, referring to the
fair project which is in embryonic
form in the county, said that
from what he could learn, listen
ing to reports concerning the
fair that night, that the Board of
Trade was about to make the
same mistake that other counties
have made, by organizing a stock
company fair. The proper way
to have a fair, said he, is for it
to be a part of the work of the
county's agricultural society, and
then the county's fair can get
funds from the states divisional
fair money, and have an oppor-
tunity to win very valuable prizes.
:, The idea that you must have a !
race course, side shows and all
these other things is an erroneous
idea," said Prof. Morgan, and |
urged upon the board to put on
the kind of exhibits in which
farmers are interested, and which |
will be worth more to them than
these attractions which he said
nave been the death of county
fairs. He cited as evidence in
his argument that races and side
shows do not make fairs, the,

Must Number Houses
Before City Mail
Delivery Is Put On

Until the houses in Maryville
have numerals placed upon them,
city mail delivery will not be
established here. 1t was first
thought that city delivery would
be established here by the first
of July. However, requirements
of the postal authorities have not
been complied with by citizens
who have failed tOplace numbers
over their doors, and until all
requirements are complied with,
delivery will not be established.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-08-12

ton in farming was especially
urged, also cooperation in schoo
work, cooperation in home work,
cooperation in church work.
Prof. Morgan outlined the plan
of community organization which
he has conceived, and which will
do much to improve every feat
ure of rural life, if adopted. This
plan suggests the organization of
the counties into communities,
with some rather thickly settled
town and villages as the center,
and all citizens within a radius of
three or four miles as members
of that community. Then, the
men and women of these various
communities shall be organized
into societies, including agricult-
ural societies, horticultural socie-
ties, dairying societies, home
economic societies, etc., so that
every person shall have an OPP
portunity to get into the society
in which they have a special in
terest. These community socie-
lies will form the county's agri-
cultural society, and the county
will have membership in the d.
visional society, and then in the
state society. By this method,
the East Tennessee farmers Or
ganization, which does not now
directly reach the homes, will be
brought into every part of home
life. The farmers who are now
paying membership fees in the
farmers convention at Knoxville,
would pay fees in the communi-
ty society, and the money would
be expended for the development
Of home projects.
With such an organization,
said Prof. Morgan, the farmers
can be so organized, that there
will be cooperation in the pro-
luction of live stock and from
products, and better prices can

worlds leading fair in England,
which he visited two years ago,
and which did not have a single
amusement feature, but to which
the world pays homage because
of the fine work it has done.
1t was then agreed that per
haps the county is going at the
fair project in the wrong way,
and it is hoped that the county
court will make an appropriation
to secure a county agent who will
organize the county into COM
munities and then into a county
agricultural society, and then
under the direction of this society
a county fair can be established.
That the matter may be gone
into thoroughly, and be presented
to the county court in an intel
ligible form, a committee was
named to prepare data, study
out Prof. Morgan's plans, and
invite Prof. Morgan to present
the matter to the court at its
October term. This committee
is comprised of Clyde B. Emert,
Prof. Chas. W. Henry and Henry
Duncan. Prof. Morgan assured
the committee, at the close of
the meeting Thursday night,
that if it were not possible for
him to be at the session of court,
he would send another to present
the plan. 1t is hoped Prof.
Morgan himself can come.
