An effort will be made to avoid
any mistakes so likely to occur when
things are rushed. Those who han
died the big series last fall were han
dicapped by having a myriad of de-
tails to attend to in a hurry. A
Solomon would have been necessary
to please everybody. The series, be-
cause Of its size. had more ramifica-
tons than anything of the sort ever
held in Washington, according to
veteran leaders.
To make this years competition
less complicated Is one Of the aims
of tomorrow nights meeting and
those to follow. 1t has been sug.
gested that any series that might
be held should be confined TO
teams which had won a certain
portion Of their games up to a
specified date.
Even with this plan in operation q
series likely would draw many teams.
The outlook Is for a record-breaking
season. 1t is estimated that fifty
teams are organized now and ready
to start practice. A score or more
have taken advantage of recent
warm weather to loosen wings and
get the feel Of glove and bat.
By the time the season actually Is
under way the present number OF
teams Is expected to be doubled.
Where they all will play Is a prob
lem. Several fields used last year
will not be available this season.
Most Of the meetings held by sand
letters to elect officers and talk over
plans have been brimful of enthusi-
asm over the coming season.
A few Of the crack teams Of 1921
are having internal strife, which les
sens as the time to play ball ap-
proaches. One of the juniors best

today.
Father John Carroll Moore, who
had plentiful success last year with
the Holy Name midgets, is the Holy
Name manager, and J. b. Irving is
the coach. There will be a midget

whenever the thoroughbred is men

center Of the breeding industry In
this country. always comes to mind.
II is not possible to conceive Of rae
Ing in America without the yearly
contribution of thoroughbreds from
the Bluegrass State. There are great
breeding farms in New York, Virginia,
California and elsewhere, but the
very life blood of the thoroughbred
cause pours from Kentucky's ever
flowing fountain. In this favored
State, with its fertile fields deep in
bluegrass throughout the winter, the
horse reaches perfection.
The Rider and Driver does not
know Of any greater calamity that
could happen to the horse industry
than for Kentucky to turn against the
thoroughbred, and destroy the great
breeding industry, which has not only
made the State world-famous, but
has aided every farmer In America
by improving the breed of horses

clemency to Debs was, no doubt,
commendable enough, the Yuletide

tion taken at this time is very doubt

son and disloyalty does not sit we'll
with the thousands of our citizens
who gave time, treasure, or health
in defense Of home and country.
True Debs is not criminal in the
ordinary sense Of the word, but this
very fact coupled with his undoubt-
ed talents and leadership made his
example most pernicious. President
Wilson stated emphatically that he
would never pardon the Socialist
leader, and the present Chief Execu-
tive might have wisely, emulated his
example. The classes opposed to
law and order in times OF peace and
the full expression of loyalty and
patriotism in time Of war should be
shown conclusively that the Govern
ment must be just as well as merci-

SHALL WE RETURN TO THE
WOODEN MOLD BOARD

AS BtHeTdl pTOpOslllOH tCOHOIuy
in the county's fiscal affairs is COM
men dable, but that unwise and in
judicious ideas of what economy
really IT,. often lead to derlorable
results is well illustrated by the
recent action of the Ohio County
Fiscal Court in refusing to continue
an appropriation for a County Farm
Agent No doubt the magistrates
were actuated by the best motives,
but that they were ill-advised in
their action is patent to anyone
familiar with the work that has
been done in the county by our Farm
Agents within recent years. Agri-
culture can no more make adequate
progress without intelligent direc-
tion than can any other industry or
business. In the course of long
years of painful experience some
progress will, Of course, be made,
but by the utilization Of the spe-
cialized scientific training of experts
along various agricultural lines, the
possible progress of generation
may be realized in a decade.
The skilled Farm Agent brings to
the door of the farmer all that
science and experience have demon
strated to be best in the way of soil
study and the remedying Of the de-
fects detected. Plant and animal
diseases are robbed of their destruc-
tiveness by the methods taught by
the Farm pemonstrator. He aids
the tiller Of the soil in buying and
selling on an economical, co-opera-
tive basis and above all he organizes
the workers OF farm and field, both
old and young, so as to better
realize the goal Of an ample compe-
tency and a contented home life. His
service TO the young people OF the
farms in the way OF organizing pig
clubs, chicken clubs, canning clubs,
&c. thus retaining the interest OF
the rising generation in farm life,
is alone more than enough to justly
the small outlay we would be forced
to make TO retain his services.
|. An added practical consideration
in farCr Of retaining a County As-
ent is the fact that practically three
fourths of his service is paid for by
agencies outside the county. For
each dollar Ohio County pays its
agent, the State and Federal govern
ments pay three dollars. Surely
this would be considered a good f.
nancial investment in any line.
II Ohio County persists in her. re-
fusal TO continue the Farm Agent
service, il will be the first time such
action has been taken by Kentucky
county. Over eighty counties now
have this service and others are
making every effort to take such a
forward step. Surely we do not
wish TO blaze out the pathway of
retrogression. For. as our editorial
contemporary has truly said. such
action is undoubtedly backward
step.
We sincerely hope that the Fiscal
Court will see it's way clear to volun-
tariiy reconsider its action as to a
County Agent. But II not, there is
a way open TO retain our Agent
and that is the application Of the
Farm Bureau Law enacted by the
last Legislature. The requisite Or
ganization to erectuate the desired
action by the Court is under way

Demonstration can and viii be re-
