Wilt Never Do Unionised.
Tore aeundv by strlko riots
which the state mllltla ha been
v unable to control, Colorado through
Governor Amnions, bo oallod upon
President Wilson to send federal
troop to tho agitated coal districts
and five troop ot cavalry are now
or. tho way to tho southern field
s of tho stale. Tho request was not
only mado by Oovornor Amnion,
but also by tho Colorado delegation
in congress, tho ml no owner and
tho miner themselves.
It U onv ot tho raro cases In his
tory whero a stato ha boon unable i
to assort Us authority and put downl
clrll otrlfc. Tho president In a
tolegram to Oovornor Amnions sta
tod cmpluvtlcalty Uiat tho federal
troop would con lino themselves to
I maintaining order only "unlit tho
stato can reassert It authority and
resume tho enforcement thereof."
Colorado members In congress bo
lloro that tho mere prcsenco of
fodoral troop In tho Mrlke lorn
dUtrlcta will restore normal condi
tion and provvnt further rioting.
Slnco tho Colorado strlko com
menced estimate of tho number ot
Uvea lost vary from forty-aevon to
a hundred and soventy-flo, .
Tho end of tho controversy bo
twoon tho minora and tho oporntani
seems to bo as far In tho dlalnnco1
a when tho strike was first oallod. I
When tho cry went out from Colo-,
rado tor fodoral assistance lrMi1
dont Wilson aunt a p(clal onvoy to
John D. llookofoller, who own tho
conlroUng Intoroal In tho Colorado
Fuvol and Iron company, to nuxllato
In tho matter nnd put an end to tho
strike. John I). Ilockcfoller, Jr.,
mode It plain that tho company had
nothing further to offer tho strik
ing miner In tho promise. IIo
stated tluvt every demand had been
mot by tho company with tho alnglo
exception of unionizing the camps
and InUmiUvd that tho entlro prop
erty might bo cloaod down Indefin
itely and the company subjected to
Irreparable loss before it would ac
cede to this.
Rockefeller giro out a lengthy
lntemriow to tho Associated Pre,
part ot which la a follow:
"The Impression bo been cre
ated that If wo would agree to sub
mit to tho unionizing 9! tho camp
of tho Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany this entlro trouble would bo

Entire Nation Concerned.
"Hut tho Iobuo 1 not 000 of mere

land. Tho fact that labor union
represent but a very small minority
of the worker ot the entire coun

those who urge tho termination ot
this local difficulty at tho price ot
surrender to union domination.
Buroly no thinking man can ask,
much less ezpeot, that wo will
abandon our own employes and tho
cause of tho worker ot the ohtlro
country because violence and whole
sale slaughter are drought about by
an olomont which lias come to re

In tho case. -y
Fisher sued for an accounting of

appointment of a receiver, alleging
Hint the company was Insolvent nnd
had been made so through tho
wrongful net of officers. After the
case had gone to trial the company
applied to the supreme court for a
writ of prohibition, contending that
Fisher had takon the wrong method
of proceeding.
It was conceded before the su
preme court that the proper method
for a stockholder to cofc redress
agint a corporation Is to make
his complaint to the seoretary of
state, who should then 'tavo the
bank examiner Investigate Iho com
plaint. It the complaint had merit
it would then be tho duty of tho
attorney general to proceed agaluct
tho company. The supreme court
upheld this contention.
FUhcr and many others of the

and tho decision of tho supremo
court will havo tho effect ot only
delaying matters for a short period.

The club movement among boy
along agricultural line ha been a
big factor In creating and fostering
spirit along this line. One ot those
agricultural clubs 1 organized at
the Carbon county high school This
organization can boast ot having
nenrly half the bojs in school en
rollment. Tula speaks well for the
bny. for it Is through agriculture!
putsults that n town or city Is put
on a firm foundation. Illgltl now
Price bom, as she never mv before,
that the surrounding country must
be farmed that wo havo to get Uie
land to produce vcgtabW and iruMs
In order to be an a pcrsiatvnnt ba
st and sound foundation.
I think 1 am onto In saying that
no town iu U10 state ot Utah s-ive
Helper la in auch great need for
farmers, and scientific fanners, as
la Prloo. In other words, tho de
mand far exceed the supply, and
as a result price arc high. Con-!
shier for a moment tho price ot
eggs for example, Iu Utah county!
eggs are fifteen cent per dozen. Iu
Price they are twonty-flve coals, !
nearly double Uie price At one1
tlmo laM year potatoes wore selling !
In Price for Just twice tho amount
ns In Provo. Milk soil for tvti '
cents per quart. And so It (a with
farm produce throughout. We do
not produce enough. Then, since
there are good high prices, why
should not Price be an excellent
placo for farmers to locate let
them go into truok gardening, poul
try rnliln;, dairying, etc.
ThU, the agricultural department)
or rlub U trying to footer. The beys
can now see tho way of lnprovcj
irtont, and the big opening for lo.
cal farmers, Not only do they moo
the local problem nnd chances In 1
agriculture, but they can see the,
demand for agricultural men nil
over tho country. Scientific fann-i
era are. In demand those farmers j
who can tell why and how to do a
thing. College graduates are In.
great demand and their componsa-'
Hon la high much higher than for '
the compensation ter other iliicaj
generally
Now In conclusion, I want to tell '
alt the farmers here that we havej
an agricultural dpartsit at the
li'gh school, that It la your desait
EJout because you In connection
with others support it, M that It'
U there for yeu to use. We want
to co-operate wMn you and have
you help us and let ua help )on.
Wc want to work oa your problems,
not the probteBM fortfg to Carbon
county, and help solve the a. Ut
ua test your soils, test the various
cow of your herd for butter fat
production And then cleaa out the
ones that aro eating up Uie profit
Let us test your seed for power of
gormlmttlon and also show you how
to do it, If ou do not already know.
Let tho club help you with your or
chards, your bnlldkags, your selec
tion ot animal for breeding and eo
forth. Farmers, again I say, it's your
school up on the nlll. Tnen use it.
Too many times people do not ap
preciate good things which sur
round them, but prefer sending
away, thinking they can do better.
They do this lu business, a well as
other lines, as you all know. An
Interesting exatnplo 1 one in which
somo men In Emery county thought
they hod a gypsum deposit. They
did not know, so instead ot sending
a sample to Emery academy or to
the Carbon county high school for
analysis, whore it could In all prob
ability bo tested free ot cbareo,
they preferred and did aond it to
the state chemtat, who charged
twenty-five dollars and then han an
apprentice toot It, wiio, chances are,
knows much leas than the Instruc
tor alqng that lino at tho Emery
academy or at the Carbon county

j Invented by fJoorgo I. Iteevcs, Unt- H

,Tho machine I a stonple one aad H
can be manufactured and used at H

will kUt the alfalfa weevil on an ea- M

will be placed 011 tho ruar end of a H
wagon carrying a gasoline englae. H

small hole over the field, oorertag jH
a swaUi of twenty foot or more at H

Utah agricultural products resulted H
last year In a heavy loss. H
Horetoforo U10 only method ot H
fighting the weevil was Uie intro- H
ductlon of foreign parasites. It was H
claimed t)at these parasites would H
In tlmo destroy tho weevil. 80 far, H
however, no real results have been H
secured from their introduction, and H
It would be a matter of several H
yeers before the weevil were all H
killed, even It the parasites proved H
efficient, and the new machine will H
undoubtedly be given a hearty wel- H
come hy the farmeis of the etate. H
Up to date It to estimated that H
thvi Colorado coal strike has cost H
