FARMERS AND FOOD

Agriculture is one of the most in
tellectual of occupations. 1t invites
thought and brings one intimately in
to contact with the eternal realities.
$50 says George w. Russell, who
thinks that farmers are on a par with
physicians, biologists and engineers
in dealing with real forces and with
life itself. Now, the health and
beauty Of life in any country depend
on the development of agriculture as
an industry and from this truth Mr..
Russell argues for making the teach
ing of it's theory and practice an i'm
pcrtant feature in rural schools. On
the status of farming depends in
great part the dietary of a nation at
peace or, in especial, at war. The
economist we have quoted wishes
that country people generally Jared
better than they do, and believes that
they might live better than any
other class on their own milk, but
ter, cheese, bacon, fruit, vegetables,
eggs, -four and oatmeal. This writer
is Irish, and we must remember his
nationality when he adds:
Yet we find potatoes and cabbage,
tea and a little bacon, the common
est articles of food hardly varied.
Fruit, the most health-giving of all
diets, is a rare ingredient in the food
of the cottage. We hardly aver find
the nourishing vegetable broths COM
mon on the continent; and, restricted
this meager and UNMARRIED diet, our
country folk too often look anemic
and unhealthy. Farmers are begin
ming to realize that plants require
foods and give them those
foods. They do not realize to the
same degree that the human body
needs its own varied diet, nor DO they
INQUIRE into the needs of the body.
They seem to think that anything
hat can be eaten and fills space is
rood enough for human beings, for
heir own flesh and blood.
Mr.. Russell has a constructive sug-
also. He urges that more
chool gardens be developed in rural
listricts-school gardens introducing
wide variety of vegetables now lit
lie grown there, and familiarizing
hildren with their cultivation and
.ses. "The laborer, on his acre or
alf acre plot, should be able to grow
nough fruit and vegetables to feed
is family we'll" Why doesn't one
ear more about subjects like these
hen people talk about Ireland: Mr..
.ussell answers this question. He

ADMIRAL JELLICOE'S REPORT
OF GREAT NORTH SEA BATTLE

Sir John Jellicoe, commander OF
the British grand feet recently made
a complete report of the engagement
with Germany's high sea fleet off
the coast of Jutland on the thirty
first of May, and it seems to be a fair
report for both sides. He estimates
the German losses at three battle
ships, three battle cruisers, five light
cruisers, six destroyers and a SUBJ
marine, which he thinks is a mini
mum figure. The English losses were
about the same. In high officers alone
the British lost two rear admirals
and six captains.

CHAUTAUQUA MAN
HITS THE MARK

WHITE chautauqua system, who spoke
at a breakfast meeting in Blackfoot
some weeks ago, has recently passed
thru Dillon, Montana. making similar
arrangements for the entertainments.
In a dispatch sent to the Butte Miner.
giving part of his text, he looms up
as a sort of object lesson to evangel-
lists, showing where and how to use
the talk that carries a punch, that
is, in the things that count now and
here on this earth.
He said in part: "What is your
batting average? What will it be at
the end of the year? An occasional
base hit or home run doesn't estab-
fish a record; batting bring
home the bacon and are totaled at
the2end of the year. Any automobile
Will run smoothly on a level road;
the test comes in climbing hills and
speedometer results. A cayuse starts
well under the wire; the %thoro-bred
wins his race on the home stretch.
h amateur shows good form in the
hrst rounds of the battle; the cham
pion carries a punch in each fist and
fights till his opponent takes the
count. Genius without plug is nil;
10 per cent genius plus 80 per cent
plug makes a grand total of 100 per
cent. Life is not always in holding
a good hand; it is playing we'll what
ever hand you hold. A new broom
sweeps well; a good broom does a
good job till the end of its days. A
weakling's backbone starts at the
base of his skull, but brOadens into
a yellow streak; a mans backbone
continues to the seat of his pants and
is as hard as steel all the way down.

Mr.. Herbman held his audience
and enthralled as few
speakers have done here for years. {

London, July s.-The Russian right
wing, operating in Volhynia, during the
last twenty-four hours, made important
gains in the direction of the great rail-
way center, Kovel. according to Petro-

commander chanssd his tactics and sent

crowned With succesS, the Russians ad-
vancing to the westward of Czartorysk
and taking a number of towns and vii
lagos a few miles from the Stokhod, the
same river the southern part of which
has been the chief obstacle to the Musco-

a running fight with forty bandits. nine
miles from El Paso, in New Mexico, this
morning.
The trio of Americans were led by Tom
Perrine. a former United States customs
guard. The two others were Jess Adams
and Alex Rivers. Perrines horse was
shot from under him during the fight on
the desert, and the Americans were forced
to fight the Mexican bandits in the open,
as there was no cover to be found where
the fight occurred.

Villistas Attack

Battle to Death Reported Rag

El Paso, Texas. July S-A terrific bat
tie between 500 Villistas and 1000 Car
ranza cavalry Is in progress q short dis
tance south of Jiminez. The battle began
early this morning.
This information was officially given
the International News Service tonight
by Gen. Francisco Gonzales, commandant
of the Juarez garrison.
The Villistas are commanded by Gen.
Callxto Contreras, according to Mexican
authorities.
Gen. Contreras rejoined Villa command
within past week or two, according to
American reports. Carranza officials,
however. are of the opinion that the
general is leading an army of indepen-
dents.
Gen. Gonzales said word Of Contreras'
activities had reached de facto officials
some time ago, and it was for that rea-
son that the 1900 cavalry were sent to
the Jiminez district.
Refugees from the terrific onslaught of
the Yaqui Indians brought the story of
their massacre OF Carranza troops to
Nogales, Ariz., today. Early this week
they declared a large force Of 'Broncos'

Corroborative evidence to

June 20, that Carranza officials
harbored Villa after the CO.

Maj. Tompkins led the first

also was with the cavalry de-
tachment turned back at Par
raj by Carranzistas.
He told War Department
officials yesterday that the
United States cavalry was

Villa when the American
troopers were ambushed at
Parral. Villas capture was
certain, Maj. Tompkins re-
ported.
The inference was that the
American troopers were stop
ped by Carranzistas to pre-
vent them from capturing the
