won as many games now as he won in
1924 and probably will win more the
rest of the season than the Phillies
won in the same period last year.
The Bostons, while they have done

such deep oblivian as have the Phils.
Leach Big Help to Phils.
There is one player on the Phillfes
who must not be overlooked for his
share of the good work of that team.
He is Leach, who came to the team
unheralded and unsung and was
worked out for a while in the New
York-Pennsylvania circuit.
Leach began to bat when he reached
Philadelphia and he hasn't overlooked
any points since. His average is
about $40 in more than 80 games.
Harper, of the Philadelphia outfleld, is
batting 362, and if Cincinnati had re-
tanned him they might have had a bet
ter chance to break into first place.
Today he is batting better than Roush

Washington, Feb. 11.-Visitors
to Washington are always seek
ing the facts behind the hodge
podge of news items sent out by
news associations. Everybody
wants to know what is transpir-
ing behind the scenes. The
whispering gallery as Washing
ton is known, makes it difficult
to sift fact from rumor. These
two are so closely related at
times that the line of demarca-
tion is not easily apparent.
If a political observer in Wash
ington had the time to write a
personal letter back home this
week he would confne his dis
cussion to two or three subjects
not in the ordinary run Of news.
First he would tell the folks that
President Coolidge has a real
problem on his hands in finding
a Secretary of Agriculture.
There are at least $50 capable
men who have been recommend
ed for the post by organizations
and friends who recognize their
particular merits. Ordinarily,
it would be an easy matter to
designate the head of the Agri-
cultural Department.
Nobody should envy the next
Secretary of Agriculture if he
fulfills the job as now expected
by the President. 1t is a task
comparable to the fable of Her

the orders and collected the mon
ey for the war explosive. In all
one hundred and sixty-one thou
sand three hundred (161 ,300)
pounds of war explosive has been
pooled and delivered to Pine
county farmers from the period
of December 1. 1923, to Decem-
Der 1, 1924. This material has
been used for the blasting of
stumps and rocks; also by town
boards and the county board for
road purposes.
The saving on this war explo-
sive at the very conservative es-
innate of ten cents a pound will
amount to sixteen thousand one
hundred thirty dollars ($16,130
This. however. will be very small
compared to the increase in the
value of land cleared and the
amount of feed that will be home
grown instead of that which
would necessarily have to be
bought. This saving we cannot
estimate at this time.
We also used hardware dealers
throughout the county as local
leaders; namely. through cooper
ating with them in pooling blast
ing caps under which we have
pooled one hundred seventy thou
sand Q70.O0O) these being deliv-
cred to the dealers at the net
price. making I possible for
them to decrease the price
charged the farmer of fifty cents
per hundred, making a total saw
ing of eight hundred fifty dol
lars ($850.O0) on this one item.
II is estimated that three thou
sand acres have been put under
cultivation during the year of
1924. However. no accurate fig
ure has been established as yet.
In order to further the land
clearing work in the county the
county extension office co-opera-
ted with the State Land Clearing
Department in putting on a land
clearing demonstration last June
where improved methods of land
clearing were demonstrated. Five
