1t is only twelve years since the
department Of commerce and labor
was created by President Roosevelt.
Both branches have made such strides
that President Wilson, at the begin

the dignity and power of a separate
cabinet position. Each has continued
its wholesome growth. There is no

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL

~
THE agricultural exhibit OF the Ro-
dec is not large. But those who think
Elko count Is exclusively a stock and
range county will be much surprised
building and see what the farmers
have TO show.
Wheat and pats and barley are
staples in this county. But we are not
accustomed to think of corn being
grown at this altitude. Yet there are
some fine samples of maize in the en-
hibit.
The suntiower is supposed to be-
long to Kansas exclusively. But there
is a mammoth stock grown in this
county hat must measure al least
twelve feet in height and the bud on
top looks to be at least twelve inches
in diameter.
One Of the big surprises is the dry
farm display. If there ever was a
year to test dry farming it is 1915.
This summer has been one OF the
driest ever known in Nevada. More
over, there was very little snow last
winter to supply the creeks. On top
of this we had no rain this season
during the growing period.
Yet in spite of all this John N.
Crossen has a sheaf of wheat grown
in Starr Valley the stocks Of which
stand nearly as high as a mans head.
and the legend on the card reads that
it was produced by dry farming meth
DDS.
No one need despair at the results
of dry farming when wheat like that
al be grown in Elko county in a
summer like the present one.
Another surprise is the apple eX-
hibit. 1t is well known that apples
| grow in favored spots under the shell
ter of the mountains. The apples on
display make an excellent showing.
This is Elko's first county fair. The
interest in the races and bucking con-
tests o~vershadow everything else. But
a fair start has been made toward an
agricultural exhibit. Everything must
have a beginning. The second annual
Elko county fair should be one to
make us all feel proud.

CO-OP GRATING
WITH BUSINESS.

ACCORDING to Washington reports,
the federal government Is beginning to
make itself useful to the business of
the country. In the last fiscal year,
the federal commerce bureau claims
credit for having handled nearly 5000
trade opportunities, which when com.
m~unicated to American manufacture.
ers, resulted directly in exports
amounting to SIPS, 0O0, 1000.
The same bureau Is now entering
upon a new field, in assuming the re-
sonpsibility for receiving and distribut-
ing imports from Russia, under a
pledge that they shall not under any
circumstances be reshipped to Rus.
sia's enemies. This arrangement Is
expected to stimulate Russian trade In
both directions, resulting in greatly in.
creased exports to that country.
What may be a still more fruitful
innovation is the flying squad Of com.
mercial scouts" now being organized
to prepare the way for an invasion of
world markets heretofore dominated
by u European rivals. Government
agents are being sent to South Amer.

covering nearly all the great COM
mercial fields outside of the European
war area. Their reports will be trans.

THE WORLD LIKES
A GOOD LOSER.

THERE is much in the saying that
h world loves a good loser. When
boys sit down to a game of cards they
always try to stick" the one who does
the most kicking.
=. This is not TO insinuate that there
are any hard losers at the Rodeo. II
Is but natural that some few should
feel agrieved. MOI to believe you have
o shows a dead spirit.
1t is a thankful task the judges have
to perform. Even the most impartial
are liable to err. But no one has
accused the judges OF having any pre-
JUDGES.
Frank Gore, George Mcknight and
Sheriff Joe Harris have the reputa-
ton of being entirely fair, and they
are well qualified. AS far as it is pos
'sible for human judgement to pass
upon events of this kind they have
performed their duty without bias.
At the same time even the audience
Is disappointed when some ~favorite
has been counted out. However,, the
Judges are right on the spot. They
have better opportunities to observe
the work that has beer done.
The rules are strict and the judges
are In position to observe if there has
been any infraction. There are many
tricks In the trade. A slight help at
times keeps a rider from being bucked
of.
Naturally the main interest centers
In the horse bucking contest. The
judges must pass upon both man and
horse. Where all riders are good
their task becomes very difficult. Even
buffalo Bill In the best of his Wild
West show had a better aggre-
CATION of riders than those now as.
5sembled on the Rodeo grounds.
The rider must keep one hand In
the air. He is not allowed to cross
the rope. That is, he car not have
the rope on the right side of the
horses neck and hold it with his left
hand.
He Is not supposed to dig his SPURS
into the cinch and thus hold on. And
TO lose his stirrup is to disqualify him.
And above all he must not pull leath-
er. That is, he must not surreptiously
catch hold of the horn of the saddle
TO save himself from a fall.
He Ia not obliged to fan the horse
with his lat about the ears. That
helps out with the grandstand and it
also helps to keep the horse bucking.
Nor Is the rider compelled to scratch
'em. But the rider that keeps his
spurs rowling up and down the pony's
side stands a good show of getting into
the grand finals.
The rider that sits up In his saddle.
does not pull too hard on the rope but
let's his horse have free rein and Cd.
portunity to buck is the one marked
out by the judges for distinction.
Then the judges must take the horse
INTO consideration. The horse does as

MExIco'S
ENEMY.

ENEMY.
1T is evident that the chief OBJ
stacle to the redemption OF Mexico
is the First Chief of the Constitution
alists. Gen. Carranza Is the same
old stubborn and unreasonable hidal-
go hat prevented the contamination
OF h revolution on two or three
former occasions. and has already pro-
longed for nor than a year the stu
alton that is running his country.
Carranza pretends to be an uphold
er of the Mexican constitution-the on
~ authentic and sincere defender of
that fine document which was adopted
in 1857 and has been little more than
an ornament ver since. The name OF
his revolutionary party assumes its
loyalty to the constitution. His own
revolt was declared to be an attempt
to get back to the constitutional gov.
eminent which had been restored for
a little while under Madero.
AND yet Carranza deliberately re-
pudiates constitutionalisms. He re-
fuses to make any terms Of peace that
look to the placing in the presidency
of Senior Tagle. the only eligible mem.
Der of the Madero cabinet and hence
the logical successor of the Madero
constitutional government. Thus he
knocks In the head the most promis.
ing effort to bridge over the interre.
gnum and set up a new, orderly gov.
eminent by a legal and natural pro-
cess. Worse still. he expels the diplo-
matte representatives of nations that
are trying to a v his country.
Just let him alone. Carranza rgues
Wait till he licks the other leaders and
subdues the whole country. Then let
him alone till, by the fiat Of a dicta-
tator. he establishes such reforms as
he thinks the country needs. After
that, he will be willing to restore the
constitution.
It's a strange attitude for a CON
stitutionalist" and a pretended patriot.
CarranZa could make the restoration
OF peace an easy matter. And yet
Mexico's neighbors apparently will
have to undertake that restoration In
spite of him, possibly even against
his armed opposition.

this element of chance in getting a

To make the contest entire impair
