Is THIS ROBBERY TO GO on and

In many towns there Is a young

these boys can arrest such miscreants
and they are punished accordingly.
Why not organize such a force here ?
These boys are more likely to detect

the regular officers.

apples left on the trees long enough
to mature and not have all the trees

LABOR CONFERENCES.

What is considered one OF the most
important projects to deal with, the
farm-labor situation, is now being
planned by labor specialists OF the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture Farm labor conferences will be
held during September and the first
part OF October, where the Federal la
Dor specialists and officials OF the
States Relation Service will discuss
labor questions and their solution
with officials OF the state agricultural
colleges. state farm-help specialists,
county agent leaders. extension lead
ers, and others interested. The OBJ
ject is 10 get all agencies to work to-
gether and to have the various depart
ments OF state colleges to consider
how their campaigns can be carried
on with minimum amount OF labor
For example, II the dairy depart
ment OF a state college Is planning /
conduct campaign for increasing tho
number of dairy cattle in the state
the officials OF that department will be
asked 10 show how the program can
be carried out with the minimum O
present supply OF labor. Each dc
partment will be asked TO recast Sc
program, so that II can be met with
present supplies OF farm labor.

THE PRIMARIES.


General satisfaction is expressed In
Iron county over the result OF the pri-
maries held last Tuesday. In con-
test OF the kind only one man can
win for. each office, fact that many
voters sincerely regret when they are
asked to choose between two or more
men equally deserving OF their votes.
The Newberry victory was generally
expected during the last two weeks OF
the campaign when the correlating OF
the different lines OF campaign that
the Newberry committee, under the
very efIicint leadership OF Paul King,
began to show themselves. The only
regrettable incident Of that otherwise
magnifcently managed affair was the
spending money for booze in Iron
county. Chat was wholly uncalled
for, decidedly unnecessary and politi-
cally assinine Mr.. Newberry, OF
course, knew nothing OF that action
which Is wholly chargeable TO local
managers and they, as a rule, are
prone to let their ambition run riot
with good taste in matters calling for
as much dignity as that OF candi-
dacy for the United States Senate.
The major chord apparent in the
entire vote Is that the voters OF the
state wanted to make sure of Ford
defeat Thus many voters who
would have been for Osborn In a dual
contest we're cast for the man who
looked TO be the best bet. They want
ed TO hit the bulls eye and, judging
from the result. their aim was true.
In the county contest loyal people
will get satisfaction from the fact that
the cutlery against the local board did
not result in the defeat OF the mem
bers whose defeat was sought We
believe that II is piece OF good for
tune that the old has been retained
and we say this without one bit OF
animosity towards the gentlemen who
sought TO displace them. Those men
sought the office and were not respon-
sible that about them centered the
protest against Americas entering the
war. Some other time when Vita
principles are not at stake they may
find an entirely different reception Il
their announcement.
Another fact that Iron county peo-
pie have cause to congratulate them
selves upon is the evidence OF individ,
ual, selectiye voting. Silly enmities
between sections that have held tn,
county back are fast disappearing II
means something for a section which
clearly has votes enough TO dictate its
will, II Il so wished TO do, to throw
personal associations to the wind and
mark ballots on individual merit o
candidates. We hope the day will
come when the other section can ant
will show equally as kood judgment
In national, state and county az
fairs good men have been chosen W,
hope TO see them elected.
The sectionallsm that has been ap
parent in the past Is evidently dead a
was shown by the handsome vote re-
ceived by Reynolds. Flood, Wall. ant
Rogers in Iron River and Stambaugh
This is a good condition OF affairs FOL
