King Segis Pontiac A1caftar, the fam.
Gus Holstein-Friesian bull valued at
$4,000, died at Middleton, N. Y. the
25th of November. at Fairmont Farm.
The bull was owned by John II. ART
mann. King Segis was calved on Stew,
ems Bros farm at Liverpool, N. Y,
in November, 1910. The next year Mr..
Arfmann's father bought him for $l0,-
900, then the highest price ever paid
for bull in New York state. it was
said. In 1913 Mr.. Arfmann sold a half
interest in the bull to the Lawson Hold.

months later the New Zealand govern.
ment offered 100000 for King Segis,
but the offer was refused. The bull
earned $4,000 year, it is claimed.

NEED OF ORGANIZATION
AMONG FARMERS

The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
in their Iowa Farm Bureau Messenger
speaks as follows regarding the neeG
Of organization among farmers:
This is the age of organized effort
Whether in business, sports, social do
ings or religious affairs team work wins
the day. Every craft, trade and profes
sion, even down to the loafers and crap
shooters, has it's guild, union, society
clique or clan ready for concerted effort
in Claiming it's rights. Farmers have
not played the game; they have been a
bit slow to catch on. They have many
organizations, it is true, but precious
energy has been wasted by scattered
effort. At present they have no one Or
ganization powerful enough to speak
with authority in the councils of the ma
ton; no organization strong enough to
assume leadership. . vi Il
The world is inclined to flout their
claims. They protest, they complain
and on occasions they get together and
adopt ringing resolutions. The world
let's them ring. Nobody pays any atten
ton. Other lines of industry get voice
in national industrial discussions. Their
spokesman go armed with books, rec
Ords, facts and figures to back up their
demands. When the farmers do oc-
casiOnally venture into these great in
dustrial ard commercial conferences
they go, as a rule, with empty hands.
They have arguments, yet: but they lack
vital statistics concerning their own
business. So, while the classes of other
lines of industry receive recognition,
agriculture, the greatest and most i'm
portant, goes begging.
The farm bureau federation hope
to grow strong enough and wise enough
to handle the problems Of agricultural
workers intelligently and efficiently The
movement is clean, unselfh and free
from undesirable alliances. Last week
delegates from thirty state declarations
met in Chicago and organized an Amer.
lean Farm Bureau Federation. This will
be the most powerful body of the kind
ever perfected in America The farmer
who has an ear to the ground and an
eye open to the coming of opportunity
will help along the cause by joining the
Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.

SECOND Meeting THIS YEAR

st. Martins, Pa, Sept. 13.-George
w. Uoffncr, of the Bala Golf Club, and
Norman~4I. Maxwell, of the Aronimink
Golf Club, will meet in the final round
of the invitation golf tournament of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club this after
noon. Hoffner defeated his clubmate.
Edward G.. Clarey. in the seminal
round, while Maxwell eliminated NJ.
=. Jones, of the Frankford Country
Club.
1t will be the second time this year
that I~Ioffncr and Maxwell have reached
tho same final. In the Philadelphia To-
cal championship at the Philmont Coun-
try Club last June, Hoffner defeated
Maxwell by l up after 80 holes of
closely contested golf.
Hoffner won the North Hills and
Shawnee tournament, while Maxwell
has figured more in medal play. He
won the Joseph Henry Patterson me-
mortal cup at the cricket club after n
thirty six hole tie with Harold A.
Sands, of the Merton Cricket Club, and
finished fifth in the Philadelphia open,
n seventy -two-hole event.
In his match with tlarey, f1oHner
started by winning the first three holes
in n row. Then followed two halved
holes. Hoffner made it four by winning
the sixth and was able to halve the
seventh through a stymie after Clarey
had laid his second dead to the hole.
Clarey tried to jump it with a niblick
and missed by a hair.
1t was not until the ninth that Clarey
scored and at the turn 1offner was
leading by three holes. Clarey cut the
lead to two on the tenth and after
the bitches holes were over he was only
! one down. Another stymie on the
twelfth prevented CIarey from winning
the hole and the best he could get was
a half. But the match ended on the
sixteenth, Hoffncr winning that hole
as we'll as the fifteenth.
