QUITE g ngl7aer of well known
farmers arc talking seriously OF of-
gunizing an Audrain County Farm
Bureau with a view Of shortly aocor-
ing a Farm Agent for this county.
Audrain county should certainly
have a farm Agent and there is no
better source for this movement to
begin than among those most inter-
ested. A Farm Bureau in Audrain
County would be a force for material
Improvement of conditions which at
present the farmers are finding a det-
riment to their progress.
A Farm Agent isn't the only i'm
portant matter they would interest
themselves in. We trust this move
will soon matcrialize, We believe it
will mean a greater and better Aud
rain county and mark a forward step
that will be wide in its scope.

THANE-JUNEAU HIGH GAME SHOULD PROVE
 EXCITING CONTEST

The basketball game between Ju. neau High School and Thane Ath letic Club, scheduled for tomorrow night, will attract a record attend ance, judging by interest evinced by local basketball fans in prepara- ton for the contest.
 Thames record outshines Juneau's somewhat but the game, nevertheless. should prove close. with no odds on either to win. Juneau has played two games this season, both with the Douglas High team, and has lost each time. The first game went to Douglas by wode margin but in the second Juneau came back so strong that the Douglas team won by only three points.
 Thane has won three games and lost one, this being against Douglas High. Victories were registered against Fort Seward, Douglas Fire, men and Alaska Native Brotherhood.
 Capt Allen Fortney of the Juneau team has announced his lineup for t0morroW's game as follows: Britt center; Fortney and Hendrickson forwards; Barragar and Perelle guards and Vestal, Janiksela and Bussey, substitutes.

out in year of crop failure. He
knew some of the reasons for that
failure, and afterwards he learned
more Of the reasons by study of the
situation. One of the first things he
observed was that in years of crop
failure, the big business concerns
went right on saving wood. If they
needed more money to carry them
over, they got it. He realized that
there must be some reason for this.
He knew that his securities were
good and that he ought to be able to
secure some money to prevent the
loss of the property gathered togeth-
er through years of honest effort, but
the big business concerns went right
on and got the money and he went
right on and got bumped off his farm.
AT first he saw tat organization
was the thing that gave big business
its power. Then he concluded that
the farmers must organize also to ac-
quire equal power. Then he noticed
that members of the Equity and
members of the Grange, while max
ing a saving, were bumped off their
farms from time to time in just the
same way that he lost his farm; so
be concluded that organization was
not the remedy. A deeper study of the
question. however, while he starved
through the winter of 1914-19l5, gave
him the clue to the remedy. A little
history will show how this clue was
found.
