was spent in reconnoitering, intrench-
ing, sniping, sharpshOoting and small
firing here and there along the lines
as marching bodies became exposed
within range. On the morning Of the
9th Sedgwick was killed by a Confed-
crate sharpshooter. The ball struck
him In the left cheek beneath the eye.
He had gone to an exposed part Of
the line. Shots were coming over
now and then. He was warned.
"why," he answered, "they could not
hit an elephant at that distance" He
fell dead minute later.
The Confederate lines were very
irregular, adopting themselves to the
broken contour Of the land. At the
north end of the position, two miles
above the courthouse, was q salient
that bulged northward for nearly a
mile, and In places was half a mile
across. From the east base Of that
salient the Confederate line ran three
miles south to some high land above
the Po river. quarter Of a mile east
Of Smells bridge.

picked ns the place to break Lees line
and perhaps smash the army, and that
salient came to be called Bloody

the attack repulsed. Again, In the
afternoon, the Union legions came at
1t, moving forward between the bodies
Of the men fallen In the morning. The
BGle lines once more recoiled. News
came to Lee that Hancock had crossed
the Po near Shady Grove church anc
was passing to his rear. Malone and
Heth's division moved fast, attacked
Hancock's rear division and drove
Hancock back. Again news came
that Grant was preparing to make a
sSpthward rush to reach the North
Anna river first. Lee ordered back
much Of the artillery that defended
the north salient and set the trains
In motion. A false alarm.
The salient was again threatened
The men near the top Of 1t went out
into the field and brush before them
and brought back muskets and cart
ridge boxes from the Union dead. OF
course they brought back all the food
found In the haversacks. Coffee and
sugar were priceless luxuries. Bread
and bacon were worth risking life for.

the muskets and lay down with per.

WHAT WILL THE FARM !.
BUREAU Do FOR weld

The answer to this depends entire
ly upon what the farmers Of Weld
county are willing to do for them
selves, There is no limit to the num-
ber Of things that can be done by the
farmers to improve their condition
and at the same time, improve the
general economic condition OF their
community county.
A few Of the things that can be
done In Weld County are:
l. Decrease the cost Of produc-
ton Of all farm products by improv-
ed seed. improved livestock, more ef-
ficient methods Of farming, farm
records, boys and girls clubs and
many other things Of like import
ance which can be most ecectively
done thru organization.
2. Decrease the cost Of marketing
and distribution by having farmer
owned, county wide, cooperative CON-
modify marketing organizations thru
which every farmer In the county
may market his products either To-
cally or thru state and national
farmer owned organizations that
reach the ultimate consumer by the
shortest possible route and at the
least expense.
3. Improve the home. social and
school conditions Of rural commun.
tiles by promoting bays and garls'
clubs, community fairs, ect.
4. Join the farmers together In q
strong, conservative, constructive,
organization, that Is non.political,
non-secret and thru which any farm
non-secret and thru which any farm.
er can cooperate with nearly two
million other farmers In working out
county, state and national problems
affecting the welfare Of the nation
as well as the agricultural industry
S. Foster spirit of community
and county pride which Is 80 impor.
tant in developing the highest type
Of citizenship. At the present time
too many farmers are individualists
and are not enough concerned In the
things that make for community de.
'IssioDment and state and national
welfare. This condition necessarily
handicaps the rural women and chill.
dren in performing a service to theil
community. In the Farm Bureau
all can unite In bettering these con.
ditions.
All Of the above things and hun.
dreds Of ohers just as important have
ben actually accomplished by over q
thousand County Farm Bureaus
thruout the entire United States. II
took membership and cooperation tc
do 1t, but the service was worth one
hundred times what It cost.
The Farm Bureau Is a service or.
ganization and Its service is rendered
in direct proportion to Its support
The Farm Bureau can make Weld
County the leading county in the
United States.
1t can be done and the farmers oi
Weld County can do It. ,
