sought out Cox and took him to
Washington as his private secretary.
In this position, Cox turned to politics,
which, in addition to the newspaper

In 1908, Cox with the financial as
sistance of Congressman Sorg, became
proprietor of the Dayton (Ohio) News,
and it was decided that he would look
good in Congress. A Republican
named Harding was in Congress at
the time, and the bosses of his own
party in the Third (Dayton) district,
opposed him. Cox was persuaded to
run and was elected to the Sixty-first

They are losing hard. Women were
seen in tears when McAdoo's last

which he said that "the boys did

Cox would enter the campaign "aided

The Washington times., 1920-07-06

The candidacy of Governor Cox had
been gathering strength for several
months. A few days ago, in address,
ing a political meeting in Ohio, and
in characteristic fashion, Governor
Cox was hammering the opposition,
when man in the audience sang out:
That's right. Give 'em hell, Jimmy"
Abruptly the governor paused, and
NINE" proceeded to "give 'em" what
was ordered.
The incident. his friends say, shows
that Governor Cox. in spite Of his in
nate dignity and reserve, which can
be formidable when the occasion de-
mands, is good mixer" In his
much emphasis Is laid on
the fact that either before or since
the civil war, only one other man,
Rutherford b. Hayes, has been thrice
elected governor of Ohio.
In fact, we read, Governor Cox Is an
avowed politician and is by no means
ashamed Of the appellaticn. He knows
all the cards and most of the tricks
in the political game. When his enc
mics are looking around for some
thing with which to deflect votes
from the Democratic standard-bearer,

COLLEGE HEAD URGES
SUPPORT Of BUREAU
College President Says
Farm Bureau Is Rest For
The County

F. Lsdd, president Of tie North
Dakota Agricultural College,
written to = newspaper editor in
Slope county, gives his estimate
of the value of the Farm Bureau
as follows:
Replying to your request through
County Agent Leader Fuller for in
formation as to the character Of the
reau) and it's relation to the College
cf Agriculture:
1T seems to me that in the or
ganization Of the Farm Bureau we
have the greatest instrument for
good that can be established in any
community or in any county. The
Farm Bureau and the County agent
work in the state is absolutely free
from all partisan politics. 1t is nom
political in its makeup and character
and the organization is for the bet
terment of the condition of agricul-
ture and rural life, for the production
of better crops, better stock, for q
better home life and better oppor-
tunities in the home and above all
for better marketing conditions for
farm production which is the biggest
problem we have to deal with at the
present time.
Federal Funds Given
"The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture has at its disposal sum of
money to be used in the several states
through the agricultural college
through Its extension department in
establishing county agents where
there is a demand for county agent
work, or for home demonstration
work and for club work among the
boys and girls.
"The Farm Bureau is made up in
each county of farmers of the county
together with their wives who may
become members Of the organization
or of an auxiliary. Their purpose
is to determine what the policy and
work of the county agent shall be;
to employ with the sanction of the
extension division of the agricultur-
al college a county agent to carry
on this work. You will thus see that
the selection of an agent is wholly
within the hands of the farmers
themselves, the college, through the
extension department and the u s.
Department of Agriculture, bearing
a considerable portion of the expense.
Time Here For Work
'The time, believe, is now most
favorable for the extension of the
work to aid the farmers in the many
problems they have. In other words,
the county agent is the agent of the
farmers to carry out their wishes
and instructions along lines which
must be approved as recognized by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
through the Agricultural College in
order to secure the federal and state
aid.
81 cannot commend too strongly,
therefore, the Importance of the de-
velopment Of county agent work and
of the building up of strong farm
bureau in each county in North Da-
kota. If there is anything that Lean
do to aid, ! shall be most happy to
render assistance.
Sincerely yours,
"E. F. LADD,
president

STATE FEDERATION WOOL
GROWERS is SUCCESSFUL

The North Dakota State Fedora
ton of Wool Growers have now ap-
proximately $4,000 pounds of wool
pooled in the warehouse at Fargo
The entire state production came
from about $50 growers, and was
shipped to the state warehouse
|, through, the various associations
throughout the county organizations
by the Farm Bureau in each of the
following counties: Ward, Dicky,
Sargent, Richland, Cass, Barnes,
Grand Forks, Nelson, Ramsey, Town
er, Pierce, Bottineau, MCLEAN, Div
ide, Burke, Mountrail; Williams,
Grant and Golden Valley.
The County Associations in Ben
son, Cavalier and Kidder counties
will consign their wool the latter
part Of the month, which will bring
it to about 100000 podnds on No.
vember 1st. Individual consignments
have been received from almost ev-
cry county in the state, but these do
not aggregate smore than $4,000
pounds of the above given.
Plans are now under way to start
grading about aJnuary 1. Five ex-
perienced graders and wool handlers
made application for the work of
grading. These men come well re-
commended by the U. S. Bureau of
Marketing and at the present time
these men are being carefully inves-
tigated.
1t is very essential that the grad
er who is secured is familiar with
the mill standards and requirements,
and will be acceptable to the buyers.
It is also essential that the graders
have no connection with any of the
wooden mills or wool buyers.
The market quotations on the
grades of wool grown in North Da-
kota vary from 20 to SO cents. Low
grading Of the wool in the state pool
might easily mean loss to the grow
ers aggregating many thousands of
dollars. Growers who have con-
signed their wool for sale to COM
mission houses report prices from
Is to rs cents. 1t is stated by the
pool managers that the pool moving
through country buyers, spectators
and so-called commission houses is
bringing about the same price that
should be obtained for the lowest
grades by pooling, grading and SELL
ing direct to the mills.
