dent caused great excitment in st
Louis.
| When Gen. Lyon was appointed
to the command of the department
of the west governor of Missouri
and the Confederate General Sterl.
! ing Price endeavored to persuade
him to continue an agreement they
had made with Gen. Harvey, to make
no militry movement so long &c
peace was maintained by the state
authorities. But Lyon declined to
sanction the agreement, and main
tanned "the right Of the United States
government to enlist men in Mis-
souri,, and to move it's troops within
or across the state
This resulted in hostile operations,
and Lyon, anticipating b Confederate
advanced from Arkansas, sent one
force to meet it, while with another
he captured Jefferson City, pursued
the Confederates to Boonville, and
defeated the force under Col. Mar
maduke on June IL.
1t was Gen. Lyons purpose to
pursue Gen. Price, and on July 8 he
started from Bonneville, but on hear
ing that Gen. Sigel's force had been
defeated at Carthage, and that the
Missourians had combined with the
Conferedate force under General
McCuloch, Lyon stopped at Spring
field, hoping to receive reinforce
ment.
The Confederate force advanced
on Springfield, and Gen. Lyan saw
small hope of successfully meeting
them. However, he met them in a
small skirishing engagement at Dud
Spring, and was compelled to fall
back again to Springfield. He de-
termined on the nineth Of April to
give battle, for he saw that, in spite
OF their superior numbers, it was the
only thing left for him to do. as re-
treat was even more dangerous.
He therefore attempted to take
the Confederate camp by surprise in
the morning, attacking htem in the
rear, while Gen. Franz Sigel assailed |
the right wing. The latter conducted |
his share of the battle with great
success at first, but made a fatal mis-
take later In supposing one of the |
Confederate regiments to be Iowa
troops.
Lyon brought all of his men to
The front for final effort. His horse
was killed, and he was wounded in
The head and leg, but mounting an
other horse he dashed to the front,
only to receive a mortal wound in
he breast.

They Have Come to be Recognized as Agricul-
tlral Leaders in Their Counties and Need
Loyal Support From Town Forces Ways in
Which the City Can Help the Country.

The growth and the strengthens
OF the county agent system has re.
suited in almost all cases in the
county agents coming to be recog.
nized as the agricultural leaders in
their counties, according to reports
to the United States department of
agriculture.
Help for City and Country
The county agent has come to act
as the clearing house of co-opera-
ton. He is available to both the
city man and the country man and
can transmit from one to, the other
requests for help and offers to help.
He can direct, to places where it
is needed, farm labor offered; he can
assist farmers in their problems of
cooperative marketing; he can in
form chambers of commerce, county
councils of defense. merchants as

OF information given out by the war
department, the council of national

in his county; in general he is in a
position to act as the medium thru
which the town will meet the needs
of the country and the country will

Must Concentrate Efforts
Every county agent is required to
know and observe that his services
belongs to all the people of his
county, but it is evident that none
of his time can be given to work
that does not concern agricultural
development. He is placed in the
county to stimulate good farming.
Therefore, he must confine himself
to work on definit problems affect
ing farmers. 1t is necessary for him
to utilize the aid of community or
CARNATIONS to the fullest extent and
1t is within his duties to impress
upon the town people how vital their
interest and help is to the farmers.
In the war emergency the county
agents are not only representing the
agricultural colleges and the depart

SELLING PRESSURE
 CAUSE OF A SHARP
 BREAK IN GRAIN PIT
Oats Paralleled Corn, While the Provision. List Varied From 75c Decline to
 BOG Advance

Chicago, October 21.--Corn prices broke sharply today under selling pres sure, due to bearish versions of the German reply to President Wilson's 5 note. Uncertainty, however, as to the real meaning of the Berlin answer. ral- lied the market considerably The market finished unsettled. 1ssc to 2x 0 net lower, with November s1.2oA to s12oha. and December s1.1sa to s1t6M.
 Oats closed Ac to Ac down, and provisions varying from 7oc decline to soc advance.
 Before news was received that the contents of the statement from the German government was likely to be- come ppblic, the corn market had a decided upward swing influenced all most wholly by the fact that delay to the answer was construed on all sides as bullish, Nevertheless. support dis played at no time an aggressive char acteI and had become nearly exhaust ed when about one hour before the close a sudden increase of selling de- noted the effects of the supposed bear ish tenor of Germany's answer. Later interpretations were more than like ly, shorts covered somewhat freely at the last.
 Oats paralleled the action of corn. Most of the trade was local.
 Provisions averaged higher, notwith- standing weakness in the hog market An improved shipping demand was the reason ascribed.
