HUERTA MAY TRY TO
RULE MEXICO AGAIN
Is En- Route from Spain to New
York-Gen. Villas Troops
Routed, Washington Hears.

Special By United Press Wire.
Washington, April S:-A rout by
General Obregon of General Villas
army near Celaya, Mexico, was
claimed today by the Carranza agency
here Villa was said to have been in
personal command of his defeated
forces. Another angle was added to
the Mexican situation today by the
news that Huerta was en- route from
Spain to New York presumably with
plans in mind for re-establishing his
rule in Mexico.
Although there was no certain in
dications that Huerta was planning to
start a revolution against Carranza
and Villa there was a strong belief
at the state department that he was
not making the trip for his health.
The most significant result Of HUI
erta's return to the western hemi-
sphere and possible injection of his
personality into Mexican affairs was
said to be the possibility that Car
rama and Villa would temporarily
bury the hatchet to resist Huerta

Paul Grim, the 10 year old

very few could pass through and
live to tell the story. While at

Black Rock he was thrown into

Captain Eli Laird i'm telling of the
event. "A small boat with three
men i'm it came o' to flag us. The
boat approached a little too close
and the lEnglishman who was
rowing became ratified Before
we could stop, the boat drifted
into our bow. The deck hands
grabbed the painter and two of
the party and landed the men ON
deck.
"The third man i'm the boat
went overheard and out of sight
beneath the Oakes. never eX-

more pfollJ.
The growth of this movement
has been phenomenal. In less
than 10 years 1913 county agri-
.culturists have been placed in as
many counties in the United
States. Farmers realize the val
uo of their help and make use of
the services of these men. One
agent i'm Idaho called at So farms
each week to help in the fight
against hog cholera and grass
hoppers. No county ever volun-
tarily has given up the work after
giving it a fair triak
These men are also rural lead
crs of a big type. They bring
rural people together, get them
to pull and work together on the
problems of rural business and
social life, help in the fight for
better markets and better profits.
They help TO lessen the bad eff
tccts of rural isolation, get peo-
plc To think and work for improv-
co farming rural life.
Mr.. Hockbaum pointed out that
such a man would be Of great
value to the farmers Of this sec
tion for we are just commencing
To- think about farming and there
fore have great many problems
To the solution of which a coun-
ly agriculturist would serve as a
valuable short cut. Our soil
problems are peculiar while our
Inethods of seeding and crop man.
agement must be different from
those of The farm regions we have
come from A county agricul-
turist would also interest people
TO produce more live stock of all
classes.
Mr.. Hockbaum made a plea for
/ better use of our natural advan-
tages insisting that our soils pro-
ducc clover as no other section
Of Idaho will; that this is a nat
ural live stock county; that farm
and range should be made use Of
TO produce beef, sheep, hogs and
dairy products for we have con-
ditions which will produce live
stock most economically. "Clover
Alfalfa, Cows and Pigs" is the
slogan our farmers should adopt.
The county agriculturist will
pay his way many times over IN
service to our farmers. He will
give them valuable help and be-
cause he is practical, because he
works with them and shows by
doing what ne advocates, will
make the path to greater farm
profits, better markets and bet
ter rural conditions a quicker
and straighter one. Since the
federal aid for this work may be
secured so that only $500 a year
need by appropriated by the COM
missioners, the cost, with our val
uation will be so small as hardly
TO need much consideration.

Farmers Unions
Capture City
SUCCESSFUL INTERESTING CONVENTION
Many Speakers OF Prominence Discuss Matters OF
Interest To Farmers

the Farmers Union paper, is do
ing for the farmer.
III. w. Hockbaum, the head of
the bureau that has charge of
county agricultural agents under
the provisions of the United
States law appropriating money
for the maintenance of these
agents, was present and made a
short speech ON the subject which
he finished at the Saturday
morning session. He explained
the work of these agents, the val
ue that they are 90 the farmer,
how they are appointed and paid.
Under the provisions of the
Federal law each state is allowed
10000 from the Federal approp-
rations with am additional sum
depending upon the number of
agents i'm the state. The salary
and expenses of maintaining am
agent i'm any county is made up
one thousand dollars from the
Federal fund and fifteen hundred
dollars from the county. The
agent is under the Jurisdiction
of the state university and he
must not only be a graduate OF
an agricultural college but also q
mature. experienced, practical
farmer.
He told of the large amount OF
good that these agents are ac-
lcomplishing i'm The counties where
provision has been made for them
and cited instances where thou
sands of dollars had been saved
the farmers by them.
j. v. Me Call. president of The
Washington and Idaho jurisdic-
tion, was present at The salur-
day session and addressed the
convention. I'm common with
lolher speakers the principal
subject of his ADDRESS was coop
GRAFTON. He urged that the far
mers cooperate both i'm the sell
ing of their products and i'm the
purchase of their necessities.
He stated that the farmers i'm
his neighborhood were paying la
cents each for fence posts whilr
the farmers around Standpoint
were only too glad to sell their
posts at five cents each; that the
cost of transportation between
the two points was less than 8
cents per post and the remaining
five cents went to the middle man
Co-operation was urged as tho
only means for remedying This
condition.

position to take profits was apparent
