The County Agent Controversy If the county board of education believed the fanning interests would sit idly by while County

'Agent Dolan was made to walk the ceived itself woefully.

( No action of an official body in Wayne county has aroused such a storm of protest as is sweeping through the community now as a result of

a misguided effort to defeat Mr. Dolan's re-election, and in reality to kill the prospect of employ ing a county agent.

- The Farm Federation Bureau

with merely adopting resolutions of protest, but is taking the matter into court to obtain action through mandamus proceedings. This is an excellent method to force the county board of education to respect the will of the majority of residents in the . county. Viewed from every angle, the action of the board last Saturday seemed to disregard the wish and will of the people with impunity and with an assurance that, it would not be resented by an organized effort. ' - If the board was misled by such consideration the prompt action of the Farm Bureau proves the vigilance of that body in seeing that public officers obey the will of the people. j The board of education has no argument to defend its action. No well informed student of agrarian affairs doubts the necessity of a county, agent in an agricultural community such as this one is. No one questions the ability of Mr. Dolan or his enterprise, faithfulness and industry in performing the tasks of his office. A resume of his work printed in The Palladium a few days ago shows that he is a hard worker. If then the office is necessary, and the present incumbent is efficient, why try to abolish the office by defeating his re-election ? Let the board answer. Was it because Mr. Dolan's efficient administration of his duties interfered with the political plans of some officials? Is he an undesirable

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON STEPPING HIGHER I'm strong for things uplifting; I'd see the world improve; I'd hate to see It drifting into a punker groove; I like to see men striving to gain the heights ahead, but few will stand for driving, though many may be led. And nowadays reforming is driving in disguise; we see reformers swarming with fury in their eyes. When wear ied by my labors, and jaded in myi soul, I like to Join my neighbors in j games of crokinole.

But! no, they rant like thunder, and make their noisy raid, and rend the board; asunder on which the game is played.

Good Evening By ROY K. MOULTON AN - AMBITION. ' It is our ambition To get a good Job some time With our dear old friend, The weather bureau. The reason for this is That when we are sweltering Down In the street and the mercury Is jumping out of the glass. And the temperature is around 111 According to all thermometers, The weather hureau, In a highly optimistic mood. Blandly informs us that the Highest temperature that day Was 82 degrees of 76 degrees. Or, perhaps in a pinch, 86 degreee. The weather oifice must be One of the finest summer resorts In the United States But how does it get that way? Kentucky young woman swallowed five spoons, which is one way to keep the silverware away from burglars. t, A westen writer says the best way to escape the heat is to forget it. Some people try to escape their debts that way, but it doesn't do much good. X-ray device has been perfected which will take a picture through a wall. How will grand juries and speakeasies preserve any secrecy in the future? EXPLAINED. A reader has asked us to make clear the Lord Northcliffe-Lloyd Georg feud. Nothing could be simpler. , 'Twas a dark and stormy night, or words to that effect, when the wireless with its spiteful sputter flashed a fateful message across the deep and This was the message that caused all the trouble:. . Zzt-Zzt-Zzt-Zst-Zzt-Zzt-Zzt iThis message reached the sensitive car of Lorg Geoge, primmer of the relluni. who immediately notified Lord Curzon. and the latter immediately cabled the Kambassador at Washington: "If Lord North cliff e shows up the bloomia' hembessy, give him

officers because he devotes his entire time to his j duties and finds no time to dabble in politics?

Is his unconcern about the political future of some officials, the reason why they tried to oust him? Or- is it the result of the resentment of County Superintendent Williams against some members of the Farm Bureau because they-opposed his re-election, as superintendent? All these are interesting conjectures in connection with the mandamus action that is to be instituted. If the proxies are thrown out, according to an opinion of the attorney general, the board will be forced to elect Mr. Dolan.

greatest, most wonderful gift of God to man the human voice. "To the people of his day he is a great deal more than a star tenor, an operatic mouthpiece ; he is the sweetest expression of a sublime gift. The figure disappears and the voice remains, to swell the invisible auditoriums of time on earth, while life lasts. "For how much that 'was eccentricity, for how much that was harmless pose, for how much that was the superfluity inseperable, it seems, from a popular idol, he may be forgotten. For that golden voice, soaring, melting, shooting its

arrows of deathless song into the hearts of his

Laugh for the pain that is gnawing your heart!' without that glorified figure lifting his pathetic arm from the forgotten, stunted frame, while "in memory that searching cry lingers and drips, note by note, its heartbreak.

" 'The comedy is ended !' gasps Canio. The curtain rolls slowly down. This figure is seen no more, but departs and joins the shades of the Pattis, the Nordicas, the de Reszkes. Our golden memory, the immortal voice, has returned to the service of its Creator in the choir of the Great

Cathedral."

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" HIGH AND LOW ESTATE :w. More and more service is coming to be recognized as the basis of all equality. The humblest worker of any rank may therefore take his place in full honor alongside the greatest who may in his place direct Blood relationship is very strong. Yet we are all but a little removed in blood. All mankind is really related. The other fellow should in actuality be our "buddy". You are of high or low estate only as you elevate or degrade your feeling toward life and your work. We are all servants, no matter how highly plushed our seats may be. For an employer to keep tab on the heart throbs of those in his employ is far better business than to invest in a time clock. A watching employer becomes no better than his watched employe. Neither is worthy. Only on a basis of mutual trust is any business substantially built. Each of us in turn must finally join the democracy of the grave! To be a man is to help make men. To touch a human heart somewhere and play a tune of melodious beauty upon it, is to clear the air for universal love in the world. And where love is concerned, there can be no high or low estate. I read in the newspapers the other day of a dispute over a tombstone which had been placed above the ashes of a noted man. And I remembered that In the will of Tolstoy he wrote: "Bury me in the Potter's Field!" . A decent place in which to stand in the world is what the humble worker craves more than any mere wage. When the work of hand and mind and the thought of the heart are finally appraised, their standings are all going to be placed on the some "report card". And I am of the opinion that the Great Teacher will pass by all sects and creeds and cults, as such and "mark" us solely on our merit

the air and tell him to go buy himself a room in an uttel." They put a heavy padlock on the front gate of the embassy and called out the police reserves, but his ludship did not try to force an entrance. In fact, he was quite dignified and decent about it. In the meantime Lloyd George was busy. He hastened to Buckingham palace and showed the message to the king. Then he hurried to the commons and delivered a scathing speech which removed most of the cuticle from Lord Northcliffe. "It is a malignant shame," he said. "How does His Ludship Northcliffe sret that wav?" And then the tight little isle busted wide open and all the politics of the past ten years' was spilled on the helpless but weary country. Meantime, Lord Northclifft sat down and cabled the king, "I never said it king, "pon my word, I didn't." And now His Ludship is going back home some day to give Lloyd George a haircut When interviewed, H. Wickham Steed, editor of the London Times, had nothing to say, and maybe he didn't, at that. That's the whole blawsted, blooming story as we know it, and we haven't lost a minute's sleep over it yet. But it's a bally shame, now, ain't it? Answers to Questions BOY READER Please tell me something about the Royal Northwest Mounted Police? The Royal Northwest Mounted Police, the police force of the Northwest, was organized a few years after the Dominion government acquired formal control of the Canadion Northwest in 1S.70. This territory, extending approximately nine hundred miles from east to west, and somewhat more from north to south, afforded Canada a new problem in government If the vast section was ever to be opened to permanent settlers, the government must have some control over it This need was shown by the Red River Rebellion and many minor disturbances. Sir John A. Macdonald, then prime minister, conceived the idea of a mounted police force. Much of the credit for its successful adop

"Even the gods must die," exclaims the De

tion goes to Macdonald, although the force was actually organized under Alexander Mackenzie's ministry. The act of Parliament establishing the fotce- provided thai all the police were to be mounted and efficiently equipped, but with as little brilliant display as possible. No person, the act read, was to be appointed to the force "unless he be of sound constitution, able to ride, active and able-bodied, of good character, and between the ages of 18 and 40 years; nor unless he be able to read and write the English or French language." The minimum age later was increased to 22., In the fall of 1873 the organization of the force was begun. Temporary headquarters were established at Fort Garry, and by October about 150-men had been sent there. The following June three divisions about two hundred men left Torero for the North west by way of Chicago, St Paul and Fargo. From Fargo they proceeded on horseback westward to Saskatchewan. The hardships endured on this march form a part of the history of the great Northwest. How the "mounties," as they are popularly known throughout Canada, established their posts, how they broke up illegal trade in whisky, how they clamped a halt on horse and cattle thefts, how they won the fear and later the confidence of the Indians, how they really made possible the settlement of those regions these are all familiar stories.

Crocodiles Drive French Veterans Out of Pool (By Associated Presj VERSAILLES, Aug. 5 The beautiful marble swimming pool created by

Louis XTV between the Trianon Palace and the Neptune Basin so that the pages of the King might enjoy a dip on hot days is now used by private soldiers stationed in the barracks near by. During one recent torrid spell about 50 buck privates were recuperating in the pool from two hours' drill in the morning before the noon day meal. Suddenly, with a terrified shriek, a soldier sprang out of the baths: "Crocodiles, Lieutenant there are crocodiles in the pool!" "Put a blanket around this man and take him to the guardhouse. He is crazy with the heat," 6aid the Lieutenant. Then with a concerted rush which equalled anything ever shown against the Germans, the other 49 bathers leaped out. ''Crocodiles, crocodiles!" they shrieked. The lieutenant, a veteran of many battles, looked closer at the water and there with jaws set and eye3 staring at him, surely enough were six large crocodiles. The lieutenant's face blanches and he wondered whether he too had .become affected by the heat, or, perhaps, the red wine. Just then two men bearing an instrument which resembled a machine gun on high stilts came along: "Don't hurt our crocodiles," they begged the lieutenant. "They're harmless and we need them in our film." President Can't Escape Executive Responsibility The legal functions of the president's office are so eminent that he can not escape the responsibilities of executive action, however much he may be inclined to avoid them, writes Samuel P. Orth in Yale Review. His constitutional powers alone make him the pivot upon which all the administrative machinery operates. He appoints the heads of departments and may direct their m-iior policies. His power of appointment to all the greater offices is far rqaching. He can recommend, shape and veto legislation." His control over foreign affairs is virtually complete. He is commander in chief of the army and navy. In short, he is the most potent constituitonal functionary in the world. All these constitutional powers have Jbeen vastly augmented by practice and custom. The president today can do innumerable things that George Washington or Thomas Jefferson would never have dared to do even if they had thought of them. The constitutional conception of the president is that of a chief executive, an administrator; custom has added to this conception that of leadership, of initiation. Of the $32,000,000 expended for a first-class battleship, $21,000,000 is for the machinery.

CAL1F0RNIANS UNVEIL MONUMENT TO MARK 'KIT CARSON TREE'

By Associated Press) CARSON CITY, Nev., Aug. 5. Unveiling a monument near here, the Native Sons of California on Sunday will mark the site of the "Kit Carson Tree." The California tree, a pine on which Kit Carson carved his name in 1844. when acting as a guide to Colonel Fremont, has been given a place ia the hall of . fame for trees, with a history by the American Forestry association, following its nomination by F N. Fletcher of Carson City, Nevada. it was on mis trip mat uoionei rremont discovered Lake Tahoe. The pine was in a pass through the Sierra Nevada mountains. The tree was cut down in 1888 by William Thornburg and J. F. O'Gorman, the association's data shows, and the trunk with Carson's name cut in it was moved to Sutter's Fort where it may now be seen. A full account of the tree's history has been sealed up in a container in the monument by the Na tive Sons. Another Project, The hickory tree that grew In the fireplace of the Kansas log cabin of John Brown of Osawatomie and Harper's Ferry has been nominated for a place in the hall of fame by Miss Eleanor M. Freeman, of Seattle, Wash. In 1875 Miss Freeman's father visited the John Brown farm, accompanied by a son-in-law of Erown. Only the log foundation of the cabin was left, but from the fireplace was growing a hickory tree, which Mr. Freeman trimmed, and from a branch made a cane, which his daughter now has. From Guilford College. N. C, has' come the nomination of the New Garden Oak by Mark C. Hills. This oak saw history made in the Revolutionary war, and. near it the grandfather of Joseph G. Cannon is buried. "Undo Joe" was born at Guilford. May 7, 1836. In nominating the New Garden Oak, Mr. Mills says: "After the battle of Guilford Court House, March 15, 1781, near what is now Greensboro, North Carolina, both General Green and Lord Cornwalis withdrew, leaving their wounded. ' These were cared for by the people of the Quaker settlement of New Garden, four miles and a half southwest of the battleground. Soldiers that died were buried in the shade of what is now a magnificent old w"hite oak. Here in recent years has been erected a simple monument."
