ALEX BEAT HIMSELF
Cub Star Hurlcr, just Back From
Army, Has stud but Is Wild.

New York. May 10.-My head is
bloody but unbowed. might be the
statement of Grover Cleveland Alex
ander today.
In his first appearance since his re-
turn from the war Alexander evident
ly was the same old ante-bellum
Alexander who was called the great"
with one exception. He was wild.
But he proved he will be worth his
weight in victory bonds to the Cubs
before winter.
Alexander was beaten by Cincin-
natl. l to 0. 1t was a pitchers battle
in which the mighty one was opposed
by a man called Fisher. who was once
cast away by the Yanks. Alexander,
usually the master at all times. didn't
have the ball trained as well as before
he shifted the gunpowder. He could
make the pellet do tricks all right
but it was kittenish and often went
cavorting away on it's own hook, so
five men walked. That was Alexan-
'er's downfall He beat himself.
As against these walks. the box
score tells us he struck out four bats
men.
In the eighth inning Alexander
granted a pass to Groh. Rehg sacri-
feed and Magee doubled, doing the
business.
The Cub fans are not disappointed.
Alex remains ALEX the Great"

COUNTY AGENT THE SERVANT OF PEOPLE OF HIS COUNTY

COUNTY AGENT THE SERVANT OF PEOPLE OF HIS COUNTY
The county agent is the servant Of the psople-an the people in
the county. He must not allow himself to be made the tool or conven-
fence of a.few selfish or influential citizens. This point is constantly
impressed upon agents by the administrative officials in the work. In
order to serve all the people in a county the agent must work through
local organizations, developing rural leaders as rapidly as he can, who
can help him in his work. Where there r no local organizations the
demonstration plot is used a a community center, being the medium
through which gatherings of farmers can be promoted. Free from the
influences that come from support of educational measures by private
funds, the county agent in the south is a public servant, supported by
public funds, doing educational work of the biggest kind, and is reach
ing the people that need to be reached.
The United States department of agriculture, in cooperation with
the agricultural colleges, state departments of agriculture, counties.
and other associations within the state o r county, has been develop
ing a system of education for the country people on the farms and in
the homes, the objects of which are:
/. To project agriculture and rural life on a higher plane of prof
it, dignity, and influence; and, to that end,
2. To disseminate the information in the hands of the agricultural
colleges, experiment stations, the federal department of agriculture and
the best farmers in such manner as to have this knowledge put into
practice O. every farm Fourteen years experience in developing this
system of instruction leads to the adoption of the following fundamen-
tai principles:
L. That it requires personal contact between the teacher and the
one to be taught to bring the best educational results.
2. That examples of demonstrations worked out by the farmer on
his own farm under careful plans and instructions are most effective
means of instruction.
{. That centers of influence and strong personal leadership are
essential in any broad system for educating the masses outside of
schools. BRADFORD KNAPP,

TRI-CENTENIAL OF THE
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

Rev. F. E. Henry left Wednesday
morning for an over Sunday stay at
Billings in the interests Of the state
work of the Congregational church.
Mr.. Henry was honored last fall at
the conference meeting at Glendive
bv being elected state moderator, the
first time this distinction has been ac-
corded to any church in the north
part of Montana.
The national outlook of the church
is one of the subjects of the meeting
Of the board of directors. The twen-
ty million dollar campaign has been
launched and Glasgow went over the
top so easily that it was not heralded.
The present task is that of evangel-
ism. An appropriate memorial for
the landing of the Pilgrims three hun
dred years ago by the ancestors OF
the Congregational church would be
a large number of additions to the
membership.
Rev. Henry will not be able to re-
turn for Sunday services, but will re-
sumo his work the following Sunday

In other years, no doubt, the far

nately many of them didn't measure
up. That was inevitable.
Perhaps the greatest fault with the
Y. M. C. A. was that it assumed too
many burdens. 1t was asked by the
army to run the %canteens, and it did.
It was asked to organize entertain
ments, athletics and educational work,
and it did. It was asked to send mon
ey home for the soldiers, and it did.
The army called for more secretaries,
and still more. The Y. M. c. A. got
them and sent them over, believing
that, ever though all of them weren't
ideal, it was better to send them than
to let the landing troops be without
their huts. And the troops were
landing by the hundreds of thousands.
The army wanted n secretary for
each unit of five hundred men. But
with the number of men in the army
and the number engaged in jobs which
they couldn't leave at home, that goal
was never reached. Ask the men who
were without "Y" service part Of the
time. They will tell you what it
meant. They are the ones who real
ize best what our army's life would
have been without this organization
The Y. M. C. A. assumed the prosaic,
useful jobs. There vas little pictur-
e%suueness in it's work. There were
weeks and months of gruelling labor
in warehouses, for instance.
To dismiss with a thoughtless, un-
informed word the efforts Of an or
ganization which has earnestly tried
to do it's best is not fair play. One
hears the work Of the Y. M. G. A
contrasted unfavorably with that OF
the Red Cross. There is a sentimen'
tai reason, perhaps for that. The
basic appeal of the Red Cross is that
it helps the helpless. The Y. M. @. A
dealt with the whole men. That was
the understood sdivision of work be
tween the two organizations. Sol
diers who say they didn't see a Y
M. C. A. man or woman from the time
they were wounded until they reach
ed home do not realize the reason. An;
they don't realize how much they hur
the Y. M. C. A. when they make crit

of human sympathy.

IN JUSTICE TO THE
Y. N. e. A. IN FRANCE
Editorial from the New York Tri.
bune Who Had Correspondents
on the Field.

There is danger that a very grave
injustice will be done the Y. M. C. A.
Our fighters seem to be in a crouch
with it. The most human quality of
youth is gossip. eff they don't kick,
they wouldn't fight" said an officer
in France last summer when he re-
minded a "Y" secretary that his
doughboys were kicking about their
mail, their food, their quarters and
their pay.
Before the armistice was signed
we used to hear that the Y. M. C. A.
was open to criticism behind the lines,
but that at the front the services
rendered under fire were beyond
praise. One commanding officer in
sisted that the "Y" secretary attach
ed to his battalion march with the
men through Paris on the Fourth of
July. Secretaries were mentioned in
citations and were elected honorary
members of outfits.
