but nevertheless fo r their second
game o f the year did v«-ry well by

to 7.
The Arst inn ng o f the game the
locals succeeded in «trapping in five
tallies which put them well in the
j lead, then Stay ton gradually began
climbing till the score was nearly tied
when Turner got two more runs aguin
going ahead. In the sixth inning the

The Present
Generation
It has been frequently obx. rved
that the American people are loi-ing
that imperturbably serenity their
forefathers are said to have possessed.
The pres« nt g« neration is ea:«l to be
capable o f getting excite«l over tri­
vialities and o farguing about any­
thing.
Americans have always argued—
fo r arguing seems to be instinctive in
all forms o f an mal life— but pool

cussion here. This form er closed-
coropration form a forensic combat is
thought to have been replaced by the
t< ndency o f the whole people to be-
com«' more easily aroused into vocifer­
ous protest or approval.
I f the criticism is founded on fact,
there is a ready and plausible expla-
nat on fo r the national change. With

A farm service department was
inaugurated a year ago by a bank
in Olympia, Washington, and a
farm advisor appointed. Close co­
operation has been maintained
with the state college extension
service. Work in dairying is car­
ried on in conjunction with the
Dairy Herd Improvement Associa­
tion. Also a pasture contest was
held in cooperation with the four
banks in the county which offered
prises amounting to $100. Work in
poultry was carried on in coopera­
tion with the Co-operative Poultry
Association and assistance was
given in organizing an economic
conference for the benefit of berry
growers. The farm advisor of the
bank is active in the Agricultural
Council of the county composed
of farm and other organizations
interested in agricultural develop­
ment, and also in the Farmers'
