tumble at the second jump. The cap.
tain was not injured but his horse got
away and he was unable to finish the
ride. A few minutes later a thorough.
bred racehorse ridden by Lieut.. T. c.
Martin struck the, same jump while
going at terrific speed and went heels
over head. Lieutenant Martin fortu-
nately was thrown clear but had a bad
fall and was dragged from the course
unconscious by Captain Cassel. He
was taken to the post hospital, where
it was found he was badly shaken but
had sustained no serious injury.
The only other fall was by Lieut..
Col. J. E. Mcmahon. whose mount fell
at the last ditch and nearly rolled on
the colonel. He kept hold Of the reinS
and was soon up, finishing the ride
with the other officers well within the
prescribed time.
Outside these mishaps the ride was
conducted beautifully, the officers keep.
ing their distances and taking the hur.
dies in excellent form. Lients. Charles
DAILY and Herman Erlenkotter, who
have iTst Joined the regiment took the
ride on strange mounts. The weather
has been SO rainy that none of the Of.
fcers have had much opportunity to
practise their horses over the jumps.

WHAFEVER may have been the sincerity in
w the twice repeated refusal of the throne of
China by President Yuan Shih-kai-and many will
continue to believe that his refusals were not
meant to be concusive-it is finally and officially
settled that he is now to become the first EN-
peror Of what may be new dynasty in that oldest
OF Empires, There is, however much probabil-
ity in the statements made by him and in his
behalf that his acceptance Of the is prompt
ed by desire to save China from continued years
or internecine' strife and revolution compared
with which the bloodshed and the anarchy of re-
cent years in Mexico would be triAing The best
foreign opinion seems to be that limited, con-

Republic, the transition into which from the des-

be. Eben Low, the Oahu champion one

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu.
ton of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
Social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be married or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and guide
to a higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the d.
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit.
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

is about an inch long.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer national FARMERS O1IOA
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to
city man is an entertainment; to
farmer it is education. Let us take
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress or
the mental giants in mechanical SCI
ence OF all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light torch OF
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
lions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School Trinity Of
influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture.
By Peter Radford

Lecturer National Farmers Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and Illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fluerces that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper. as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.
