HOW FARM AGENTS
ORGANIZE YOUNG FOLKS
A Series of Meetings Held in
Districts and Townships Gull
minating in County
ROund-IJD.


ROund-U Up.
In eight of the fifteen counties
in Missouri which have farm adj
visers there are ITO schools. Five
hundred of these schools were
visited by farm agents and in
many of them the boys and girls
were organized to compete a.
gainst other schools. This COM
petition consists Of athletic con-
tests, baking, sewing, cooking,
stock Judging, and grain con-
tests.
First in these eight counties
the boys and girls of each dis
trict had an all-day meeting their
parents being present, in which
they competed in numerous e.
vents. Then all the schools in a
township met for a big day and
the fttest alone survived for still
another final competition that
was to take place. This consist
ed of the Missouri Roundup or
county meeting, held in five coun-
ties last year. The Round-Ups
were under the supervision Of
the farm adviser and representa-
tive from the University of Mis-
souri,. Here the representatives
from the district and townships
met in individual and school COM
petition, this being the culmina-
ton of all previous events.
Only pupils who are regular at
tendants in the rural school that
they represent, between the ages
of ten and eighteen, are allowed
to enter. All material shown in
any exhibit in competition must
have been made, prepared or
gathered by the one in whose
name it is entered. The students
usually work in teams of three
members. The Agricultural Ex-
tension Service of the College of
Agriculture hopes to interest
many more counties in these con-
tests this spring.
Both boys and girls are ELI
gible to all contests but it is the
aim of the farm advisers to get
the boys interested in the partic-
ular lines that apply to their in
terests and the girls to theirs.
They believe that it is far better
to center a girls work and am
billions on a desire to bake prize
loaf of bread than to be a good
stock judge.

SOMETHING FOR THE
 RANCHERS TO ANSWER

H. E. Langley, propounder of puzzles, submits a query to The Republican, which he believes will give the ranchers of the val ley chance to do some guessing or some figuring. Mir. Langley writes:
 ''I wish you would ask the pub- lie through your paper what will be the pressure of the water on the Roosevelt dam. when the ele- vation reaches 200 feet.
 Please give the length of the dam at top and bottom.
 As hint, it is stated that the water pressure on any particular square foot of the dam, is equal to the weight of a column of wa ter, with a cross s-section equal to a square yard, and with a length equal to the depth from surface at which the particular square foot is taken.
 To figure the pressure on the entire dam would be quite a little problem in mathematics. but it was done over and over again by the reclamation engineers before even a stone was laid. Arizona Republican.

MORE SNOW IN HILLS
 THAN FOR MANY YEARS

More than four feet of snow rests on the bald pate of Mount Baker today, as result of fall of IA inches. reported out to Roosevelt by the forest service phone yesterday. and relayed to Phoenix by the reclamation ser vice. Heavy falls of snow were also reported in a number of other higher-up sections.
 The presence of an unusual quantity of snow on the Salt and Tonto river watersheds assures still further additions to the re- servoir, and in the opinion of some optimistic folks, means that instead of celebrating a million acre feet. the valley ought to wait a while and then have a regular jubilee over a full to-running- over-lake.
 Data received at the reclama- tion service yesterday morning:
 Pleasant Valley. 1875 inches.
 Baker Mountain, 14.00 inches.
 Carr's ranch. 1000 inches. Arizona Republican.

School Notes Of
 Special Interest

Our library was this week in- creased by a fifteen valume set of encyclopedia. This purchas- ed with money raised by our so- cial of a short time ago. We have felt the need of books of this sort for some time and will be able to do much better work in the advanced grades now that we have them.
 Susie and Anna Thomas and Helen Sapp discontinued work in our schools this week. They will take up work in the Normal School at Flagstaff.
 Roy and Rachel Thomas have been unable to attend school this week on account of illness. Roy is confined with tonsilltis while Rachel has very severe cold.
 The bad weather this week has caused a great number of absences. It hardly seems that we should have so many pupils kept from their studies on ac- count of unfavorable weather. Holbrook is a small town and everyone within a short distance of school. Our pupils who live on ranches and come a great distance are the most regular and most punctual in attendance. Parents aid us in securing better attendance.
 Guy, Ray and Claud Despair were absent Wednesday and Thursday on account of bad roads caused by the inclemency of the weather. Up to this date the boys made a record to be proud of in attendance consider ing the distance they have to drive.
 The 4th grade pupils complet- ed the review of their readers Tuesday and took up Art Litera- ture Wednesday and are more than enjoying James Whitcomb Riley as the first 30 pages are given exclusively to selections that appeal to children from this famous author.

MOVING TOWARD THE

POSTAL DEPART
 MENT DEFICIT

The deficit in the postal depart ment is now about $7O, 1000, GOO and estimated at $50. 900, GOO for the fical year. The bulk of this is charged up to the parcels post division. The increase in the weight limit from 20 to 50 pounds is claimed to account for a large proportion of this amount. This does not look like sound business handling mail of this character at a loss. yet there are other ang- les from which to view the pro- position. The revenues of the government seem to be pretty well cleaned up every year. If not used for the mail service, they go into other channels, and we pay our little mite just the same, and humble idea is that we had bit rather see it go into the mail service than anywhere else. Lately there has also been some talk of curtailing the rural route service. While the American people want run for their money, we don't believe they de- sire any curtailment of the mail servlce, as at present conducted we have a very efficient handling of the mails. and it seems to us a step backward to cut out any feature of this that brings the malls more quickly and efficient ly to the people of this country. The majority of us are entirely willing to dig up mite more to keep things going and let us have better service, instead of worse. even if there is a deficit at the end of each year. We believe in strict economy, and want the postoffice department handled on absolutely a business basis, but at the same time it must be cosi- dered that it is not private bus mess and can not be judged on any such basis. Our army and navy cost us a vast amount each and every year, with no return. yet we consider It we'll spent money, and it is the same with the postofice department. Keep the service up to a high standard. conduct the operations of the de- partment upon a business basis, and then if there is a shortage, we will all dig it up and settle. Better for that than for support of some other governmental pro- position out of which the masses of the people derive but little benefit.

 PACIFY PIUTE INDIANS

settlement with the recalcitrant Piute Indians.
 General Scott has a long record not only as an Indian fighter. but also as a mediator among the in- dians, whose dialects he speaks and whose habit he knows thoro- ughly. War department officials say he has more influence with the Indians of the west than any other white man. About a year ago he brought the recaIcitrant Navajos into camp without blood shed.
 Want Scott's Good Offices.
 After conferences today be- tween, officials of the war depart ment, the department of justice and the interior department, it was decided to ask General Scott to see if he could not bring the renegade band of Flutes in to give up thelr leader who is charg- ed with murder.
 Reports from Bluff, Utah, where the band is entrenched, say the roads are very bad and the coun- try is covered with deep snow. It may take General Scott and his party three, days to reach the Indians after they leave the rail- road.
 200 Of Reservation.
 Reports to the Indian office say there are now nearly 200 Piute warriors off the reservation. They are said to have the sympathies of many of the reservation h. dians. With three feet of snow in the mountains and no railroad communication within several hundred miles, members of the army general staff familiar with Indian fighting. think a cam paign would be attended by great difficulties.
 General Scott and Colonel Michie. his aide, expect to get as close to the Indian country by railroad as possible by Saturday or Sunday. The mountain roads are impassable for automobiles at this season and probably it will be necessary for the general with escort to go on horseback on al four or five days journey.
 Pending the outcome of Gene raI Scott's mission the war de- partment has not given much thought to the dispatch of troops They probably would be drawn from the Tenth cavalry at Fort Douglas. Utah, about 300 miles away from the Indian country, or from the Ninth cavalry at i Naca.
 Leoues for Utah.
 As General Scott left Wash ington he announced that he would proceed by rail to Morri- son, Utah. At this point he would strike into the mountains on horseback for distance of TO miles through the snow. Be- sides Colonel Michie, his aide, General Scott will be accompan- jed by an orderly. It is also possible that he will take with him some Navajo Indians living in the vicinity to act as guides and to make camp.
 The generals mission will be attended by considerable per sonal risk to himself and his little party and some of the old soldiers in the war department today recalled experiences in the Indian country. Secretary Gar rison feels reasonably confident, however, that the mission will be successful. He recalled incl dents in the adventurous career
