FORMERCABINET MEMBER DIES
 AT IOWA HOME

TRAER, Iowa, Aug. 26 (by Associ. ated Press) James Wilson, former secretary of agriculture, died at his home here this morning at Ii o'clock.
 James Wilson was head of the de- partment of agriculture for fifteen years, during which time he contribu- -ked largely to the phenomenal agricul- tural development of the United States. His long service to the cabi- net constituted a record. Albert Gal latin, once secretary of the treasury, had previous held the record with service of nearly thirteen years.
 MT. Wilson's service, however, was notable for the constructive work remarkably long time which ne held the portfolio, with complete accep- liability under the presidents of di- verse temperments; Mckinley, Roose- welt an Taft.
 MT. Wilson was an Iowa farmer. Born August 16, 1885, he was the son Scotland in 1852 to settle his family in the United States. Near the pres ent town of Traer, Iowa, the family founded the new home, and in that neighborhood the son James began farming on his own account as early as 1861, and at the same time began Nhis political career with election to

FOUR B0LSHEYIKI DIVISIONS
 DEFEATED BY THE POLES AND
 MANY PRISONERS ARE TAKEN

WARSAW, Aug. 26 (by Associated Press) The Polish minister of war declares four Bolsheviki armies have been completely defeated on the north ern Polish front. They consisted of 250,O00 troops. It is estimated that 10000 Bolsheviki were killed and 50,O00 captured.
 Remnants of the Fourth Bol- sheviki army succeeded in cutting their way through the Polish lines to the eastward after 10 hours of fighting, according to the official statement is- sued here today.
 Soviet reserves are being brought to the southern front in great numbers, and reserves are also coming up some distance behind the northern front.

tu0 lOWd Stdto loSlS1dLuIo. Ill 10 { z he was sent to congress and served in all three terms. He was regent Of the Iowa State University from 1870 to 1874, and for six years prior to becoming secretary of agriculture, he was director of the state experiment station and professor of agriculture at the Iowa State college. His applica- tion of science to agricultural practice brought him to such national promi- hence that President Mckinley made him secretary of agriculture March 4, 1S97
 When Mr. Wilson took office the agriculture development of the coun- try was already remarkable, but in tEe years during which he was at the helm of it's interests so far as the fed eral government was concerned this development was increased far beyond the boundaries of natural promise mere land and work afforded. The increasing helpfulness which the fed eral government exercised in this de- velopment is indicated to some extent by the fact that when MT. Wilson be- came secretary there were 2,444 en- ployes in the department, and that when he left it there were apjproxi- mately 12,000. This increase, involV- ing altogether larger and larger ap populations, MT. Wilson obtained on the merits of one achievement after another, until it became universal belief among the farmers that the department of agriculture was work ing with a single-minded purpose for their benefit.
 Secretary Wilson introduced into the United States a great number of valuable crops which hitherto had been successful only in foreign coun> tries. Among these was Durum wheat which came to yield nearly S50,O00,000 a year to the farmers of the northwest. He thus extended the possibilities of wheat growing far beyond the former climatic limits. Under his administration the beet serum for hog-cholera was discovered, the whole country was aroused on the subject of tuberculosis in cattle, and the care and handling of milk was systematized and improved. Sample sections of good roads were built in almost every state, and communities were instructed how to build good roads with their local material. The forests were studied and remarka ble tion of them, and the re-planting of the deforested areas. In connection with the departments active work, the official agricultural literature was developed to the end that department al bulletins became of great value among the farmers, presented as they were in simple language along practical lines.
 As an octogenarian, MT. Wilson, was still erect and vigorous, a man six feet tall, all bone and muscle. In Iowa his old friends and associates knew him affectionately as "Tama Jim" Of the Presbyterian faith, he was, IS a boy, made familiar with the old metrical version of the Psalms from which he frequently quoted in a quaint way with remarkable effect No formalities ever hedged about him; the plainest farmer who visit ed his office in Washington received the same grasp of the hand and courteous attention that was given to leaders in official life.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT OIL
Continued from page I

that amount of lubricants was less than
half of that of kerosene and while that of
fuel oil was only five times as large.
Prior to 1914 there were comparatively
few vessels using oil for fuel, but now not
only large number of commercial YES
sells but also our greatest battle ships are
being equipped to use this fuel and more
are being put into service every day, not
only because it is the cheaper fuel, but al
so because vessel can be fueled in great
deal less time, in addition to which oil
occupies much less space than coal leav-
ing more room for the cargo, consequently
giving the vessel more earning power.
Last year there were in this country over
100000 motor trucks and approximately
six million pleasure cars and a large
number of tractors and this year these
numbers will be greatly increased. The
majority of tractors and motor trucks are
today being equipped to use kerosene for
fuel instead of gasoline, which while it
will reduce the demand for gasoline still
does not help in conserving the supplies of
crude oil, as in January of this year we
used AZ million barrels of oil while our
production was only IS million barrels.
There are approximately 1,7O0 vessels
using oil for fuel under the American
Flag and if the supremacy of the Ameri-
can Merchant Marine which has come to
the front since the Great War, is to be
maintained, some plan for conservation of
our petroleum resources together with
more intelligent development of same will
have to be involved.
1t will be necessary for the government
to encourage pioneers in the development
of untried fields in this country as well as
extending their support to American CAPT.
tai working in foreign fields particularly
those which are within reasonable dis
lance of this country, as while there are
large fields in the far East the cost of
transportation would almost prohibit their
use here.

as their opponents After the visitors had
played their half of the eighth inning, it
was decided to call the game on account
of being pressed for time. Therefore, the
game reverted back to even innings, or on
ly seven inning game, and at this period
of the game the visitors had the lead of
the conference by score of 6 to 2.
Goulette, who worked upon the mound
for the visitors pitched an air tight arti-
Gle of ball, retiring ten men by the strike
out route and allowing five scattered hits.
He was given excellent support and it
was only by errors of his own that allowed
the locals to score.
