SEES GREAT FIELDS AHEAD
JUNIOR farm BUREAU WORK

states wealth OF over $4,000 above al
costs Of labor, materials and the sup.
ervision incident to the carrying or
of the work.
Idaho Best Organized State.
The average Idahoan claims consid.
cradle satisfaction in the fact that
Idaho is reputcd to have the best or
ganizcd farm bureau in the United
States.
We may now feel additional pride
in the knowledge that the Idaho plan
for farm bureau junior work has been
adopted as national policy. In 9TH
cr words, in both junior and senior
work, Idaho leads.
why does idaho lead?" That
questions was answered, probably, in
the. statement that the Idaho plan Is
the essence of democracy, that the
activities OF the farm bureau are
planned and carried out by the farm
ers and their families, assisted by the
county extension workers, whereas.
| in some other states there Is mis-
taken idea that the activities should
be planned by the county extension
workers and taken to the farmer to
be worked out.
Junior work is now being carried
on in Is counties in Idaho and this
number will be increased by the ad
dition Of several other counties with

The years activities include confer

exhibits, demonstrations and stock

alive from the moral, the financial, the
social and the educational standpoint
The objects of club work or farm
bureau junior work are. according to
Mr.. George E. Farrell, national leader
to produce something worth while, to
demonstrate something Of value and
to exert socializing influence in a
community.
These objects are more easily at,
tanned in Idaho and with such high
degree of satisfaction and measure OF
success that they fully justify the
methods, or the Idaho plan of farm
bureau junior club work.

Of Ohio, Democratic presidential
candidate, praised Senator Hiram
johnson, Republican, who resides
here, as an exponent Of progressive
ism and again flayed "big business

Senator Harding.
Although they differ fundamental
ly on the League Of Nations, Cover
nor Cox said he admired Senator
johnson for frankness and lack Of
ambiguity or hypocrisy.
He and I do not agree on inter-
national policies" said Governor
Cox, at a noon meeting, but l re-
spect the man for his candor."

on the fight which he has made
throughout the years against re-
action, 49, 80
"As an Ohioan, I give you the as
surance that the observations made
by q distinguished citizen of our
state to the effect that Hiram John
son was q blackguard and unfit to
associate with decent men, Is not
the view Of our people.
If the reactionary senatorial
oligarchy gains control Of the gov
ernment in this campaign. 1t will 90
manipulate the power Of patronage
that the progressive Republicans
will either be compelled to join an
other party or to form one Of their
own"
Governor Cox then drew Q paral-
lei between the campaign Of 1911
and 1890. saying that in each case
progressiveism. - championed by
Roosevelt In the former and John
son in the latter, was defeated by
the forces Of reaction.
Reviewing the 1890 campaign, the
speaker said:
Doubtless, the return Of Barnes
is another evidence Of going back to

Leaving Sacramento at 1885 p. m,
the governor was to speak tonight

Waterloo, Iowa, Sept. 17.-There
will be no peace in Europe until the
burden of armament lis lifted and
the fear Of war destroyed, Secre-
tary Baker declared here today in
a speech devoted wholly to discus
sion Of the treaty Of Versailles and
the League Of Nations covenant.
Challenging a statement from
Senator Harding's speech accept
ing the Republican presidential
nomination that the league was
$50 utterly impotent to prevent
wars that it has not even been
tried" Secretary Baker declared
the leagues operation has already
saved one war, though Senator
Harding did not know it."
He recited the submission to the
league council by Sweden and Fin
land of the Aland Island dispute.
Under the old order" Mr.. Baker
said, Finland would instantly have
occupied the Aland islands with her
military forces"
The secretary also took issue
with what he described as Senator
Harding's assertion that some such
International court as The Hague
Tribunal with teeth" in 1t, was the
sole agency necessary for the pre-
sentation Of world peace.
"All OF which sounds very sim
ple," Mr.. Baker continued, but
whose teeth is the senator going to
put into The Hague Tribunal? His
criticism of the covenant Of the
League Of Nations is that 1t may re-
quire the use Of the armed forces
Of the United States. Now ouI
armed forces are our teeth, II The
Hague Tribunal is to have teeth, il
is to have force and the only kind
