Kapaa Makes Great Showing

Saturday afternoon the first
games ever PLAYED on the Kapaa
field were fought out to finish
The afternoon brought many
surprises but none to compare with
the wonderful improvement of the
Kapaa boys. In place of the slow
game PLAYED at Waimea the week
before there was dash and spirit
in every play.
Vincent Llama, Manual Fer
reira, Condo and Captain Titcomb
stand out as the particular stars
and vet every boy on the team
PLAYED his position aud showed
nerve and grit. Each one deserves
great credit.
The first game was between
Waimea and Lihue and was close,
lv contested all the wav. Lihue
was thought to have the advantage
but Waimea soon made it evident
that they too were out to win.
After two periods of first play
neither side had scored and the
contest ended in draw
Then the Kapaa and Eleele
teams clashed. Elee!c expected a
rather easy victory and the sur
prise was great when, after short
defense, Kapaa went down the
field and threatened the opponents
goal.
The ball was back and forth
throughout the game and both
teams PLAYING desperately for a
score. Eleele kept the ball danger
ously near the Kapaa goal for a
few minutes in the first half but
this advantage was offset later
when Eleele was kept on the de
fensive for considerable time.

Koloa Holds High School to Tie

The second game was even fast
er than the first and doubtless was
the finest game of the season from
every standpoint. The play was
wildly exciting with long kicks
and brilliant passing and vet there
was not the sign of an intentional
foul on either side.
Koloa has developed fine team
with the right attitude toward the
game and they deserve great credit
for their craftsmanship and skill
High school shows plainly how a
heavy and skillftif team can plav
the game with absolutely no dan
ger to other PLAYERS.
1t is impossible to give lndivi-
dual credit in this game as all
the players share in the praise.
Captain Gonsalves, however, de-
serves special credit for the way
he has developed his team, and
Captain Akama of the High School
piaved an exceptionally brilliant
game.

One of the delightful qualities
OF the Corelli Brothers is the ap.
parent ease and confidence with
which they do il; simple or diff
cult, it comes all the same IN them.
You can settle Yourself down and
enjoy it to the full without any
furtive sense of strain lest they
may flat or strike a false note or
make any other musical break;

ground and if these fields are
returned to wheat the coming
spring, it is probable that a re-
current loss will be sustained.
Rural Credits.
A number of meetings with
the farmers of various parts of
the county have been held and
are now being held to discuss the
new Rural Credit Act. Much
interest is being manifested and
the probability of the forming
of some of the National Farm
Loan Associations, probably two
in the county, is quite certain
during the winter.
Corn Work.
One hundred twenty-five
bushels of seed corn of northern
grown origin was placed in the
hands of farmers and the boys
this spring and showed good res
ults. Some seed was saved
which will be available for next
spring planting.
Following is a statistical
statement of the work in the
eastern section of the county
for the year:

liable practical lessons in farm

automobile, owing to the long
distances between points of in

farms are so large. Alfalfa

en- by the farmers who produced
the crops, corn fields were in
spected, silos were visited and
stops made at farms where
good and purebred livestock
was raised. Four days were con-
stunned in this trip, together
with a tWo-day encampment
where sports were INDUCED in,
lectures given and demonstra-
tions carried on in practical vet
Urinary practice. Some thirty
four boys took part in this ac-
tivity and about two hundred
boys and farmers and their fam
lilies attended the e%ncampment
which was quite an interesting
and enjoyable part of this pro-
ject. Each boy subscribed to
the expense of the maintenance
of the trip. The speakers were
furnished from the Extension
Department of the Agricultural
College and Experiment Station.
Boys Short Course in Agriculture.
A Boys Short Course in Ag-
riculture of four days duration
is now under projection and will
be held Dec. 9Th, 9Th, 18th and
9th. The meetings will be held
in the State School of Forestry
building and the cooperation of
the faculty Of that institution
is assured. This is a duplication
of the course held last year when
$50 boys attended for three days
and seemed enthusiastic for a
repetition of the event. Practi-
cal things OF the farm are taught
at these courses, such as rope
splicing, milk testing, emergen-
cy treatment to livestock, tool
sharpening, farm accounting,
concrete mixing and the like.
Some amusements are INDUCED
in and the boys are given a good
time. The finances are provid-
ed by the county commissioners,

A considerable part of the

agents time has been taken up
during the past year in inciden-
tai advisory work with the farm
ers upon various subjects that
have come up from time to time
as to the best method of pro-
cedure in the growing and Gull
tivation of the crops that are
being grown in this locality.
Especially was this true relative
to the large increase of acreage
devoted to the growing of winter
rye which is a comparatively
new crop to most of our farmers
and which has been greatly in
creased the past two years. The
season past has seemed to de-
yelop the appearance of Ergot
in the rye in a large degree and
steps we're taken through the
press of the county, warning
the farmers to take preventative
measures in this matter by be-
ing more thorough in the clean
ing of their seed and advising
against following rye with rye
on the same land and to practice
rotation of crops.
Saw Fly Control.
Another interesting phase of
the work has been the appear
ance of an insect in the wheat
fields which made it's first show
ing about ripening time in the
wheat fields and which resulted
in a large part of some fields be-
ing damaged by the falling of
the straw as the heads were
filling. Expert advice was ask
ed of the Department in this
matter to determine the cause
of this damage and C. N. Aims
lie of the Bureau of Entomology
was sent through the request Of
Director Cooper to determine
the cause of this condition and
to determine the nature and ha-
bits of this insect which was pro-
nounced the Saw-fly. This was
a comparatively new pest to
this region and our farmers were
entirely ignorant Of it's nature
and workings, but as soon as in
vestigations were made and the
nature of the insect determined,
the results were given publicity
through the columns of the
county papers and farmers were
advised how to avoid the loss
that would attend the following
of wheat with wheat on the in
tested land. In some fields as
much as fifty per cent Of the
straw was found to be infested
and an attendant loss was suf-
fered. In many fields the fly is

WHY NOT TRUST THE PEOPLE?

Reduced to its last analysis, the opposition to House Bill ID
is engendered by a fear to trust the people of North Dakota. The
impression is given from many quarters that the passage of this
measure by the senate and it's approval by the governor will
mean that the new constitution Immediately becomes operative.
That is of course absolutely erroneous.
The proposition is simply this: If House Bill "a passes the
senate the people of the state will be given an opportunity to
decide in a special election whether or not they approve of the
new constitution.
Why this dstrust of the people?
Is it not because the opponents of the Nonpartisan League
know within their quakng hearts that the people of the state
express their wishes?
ley, the "secret caucus" the steam roller and countless other IT,
apparent excuse for defeating the league program.
Even the fear of being dubbed sociaistc does not defer hold
over senators from introducing measures providing for state
owned utilities.
A concurrent resolution to amend the constitution so as to pro-
vide for a state-oWned packing plant and storage warehouse was
offered Monday by Senator Stenrno of Grand Forks Countrywide
is vouched for by the Grand Forks Herald.
Another resolution providing for state-owned flour mills was
introduced by Senator SandstIom of this county, who as a hold
over senator has not been elected on a League platform, but rep
resents a county that cast an overwhelming vote for every League
candidate in the November election.
Whatever the motive in the introduction of these measures,
the apparent intent is to head off House Bill A, which provides
for carrying out the League program IN it's entirety and not
piecemea-and also permits of speedy action in place of the de-
lay of three years, occasoned under the old system.
Why not trust the people?
And why not trust them in 1917 if we are willing to trust
them in 1920? -~.~ ~

j A perusal of some Of the public prints would lead to the con-
clusion that the fifteenth assembly is composed of a gang Of
Nihilists and dynamiters whose sole aim is to completely wreck
the state. The Bothneau county members are fair representatives
of the character of the League members in the North Dakota
legislature. Do the people of Bottineau county believe that Stair,
Magnussen, Miller and Hagan are attempting to destroy the state
in which they live and where all their interests are? The vote
given these gentlemen in the fall election would hardly indicate
that-and we have failed to hear any word of protest since that
time, except from those who also protested before election.

Good things seem to come in pairs. Last month we had two

.BOSS TOWNLEY."

Much is being said about "Boss" Townley, and the manner
in which he is exercising his influence with the present legisla-
ture. His critics claim that Alex. Mckenzie, in his most robust
days of activity, was as a kindergarten in comparison to Townley.
Granting all that is said of Townley to be true, there yet remains
this differences: Townleys activities are in the interests of the
people, while McKenzes activities are always in the interests of
the corporations, grafters and political pirates. It is something
of a novelty in this state that the farmers should have a boss Of
their own-working in their interests. Heretofore the bosses
have been working for every interest except the farmers'-Devils
Lake Journal.
The big fight in the legislature has centered around house bill
No. "A. This is the measure providing for the new or the re-
vised constitution. The legislative program of the non-partisan
league was overwhelmingly endorsed at both the primary election
in June and again at the general election in November, and there
is no doubt in the mind of any fai11nhnded man that the people
want the program enacted into law, and that if it is necessary
to change the constitution to do this, there is no doubt but what
the people have expressed themselves as in favor of changing
the constitution. The majority have asked it and their request
should be granted, or rather they have commanded it and their
orders should be obeyed by their servants at Bismarck-Car-
rington Record.
The time has arrived when the state must engage in the in
novation of establishing and operating certain public utilities
or permit the states principal industry to be exploited by the
speculative interests that are just now inspiring the hue and cry
of "safety first" If the state is not capable of managing public
utilities as many claim, then either the state is a poor shield for
it's people or there is inconsistency on the part of those blocking
the scheme. Naturally every selfish interest is opposed to state
ownership of public u6lities-New Rockford State Center.
Having run on; Of invectves against A. C. Townley, president
of the League, one bright solon comes out with the rather start
ling assertion that "lOWnley does not want house Bill NO. A
passed, because then he would have nothing more to fight for"
Can you beat it?
It should be borne in mind that the steam roller is not a new
implement in North Dakota legislatures. But in the days of yore
the farmer usually occupied the position now complained of in
stead of being at the steering wheel.
Statistcians have figured out that it has cost Uncle Sam $751;
100000 up to date to "get Villa" At any rate that appears to be
rather a harmless sport as compared to the European unpeas-
antness.
The Omemee Herald suggests state owned barber shops. Just
as if Matt and his ik did not get sufficiently trimmed on the
seventh of November!
