Washington, D. C, Mar. 8. "Ride
'em cowboy" will likely be the battle
cry in the Department of Agriculture
for the next four years. That there
is going to be some plain and fancy
riding U a foregone conclusion, to
those acquainted with the life story
of Dr. William M. Jardine, former
cowboy and ranchman who becomes
Secretary of Agricultlure March 4th.
Cowboy to Cabinet.
From the great west, comes Jar
dine. Born in Idaho 46 years ago, he
spent the first sixteen years of his
life on his father's ranch. He "punch
ed" cattle, broke broncos, at 25 cents
each, and attended district school In
the winter. At 17 he felt the call to
be out and doing, so he left the home
ranch and went to Big Hole, Mont.,
where he got a job on a cattle ranch,
performing the usual tasks of a ranch
hand.
He then became interested in dairy
ing. Realizing tho need of education,
he entered Utah Agricultural Col
lege, graduating in 1104. Those years
at school were active for young Jar
dine. He was up and doing and active
in sports. He played four years on
the varsity football team, captaining
it the last year. During the summer
he pitched hay and worked on dairy
farms. One summer he was out with
a surveying gang.
Farm to Washington.
After graduation he taught for a
year, then sought and obuined the
job as manager of a farming company
which was tilling acres on the whole
sale plan in Utah. Then came his
flrat contact with government work.
He sought and secured a job as an
assistant in the cereal branch of the
Department of Agriculture. He work
ed there three years, from 1907 to
1910. Then he returned to the rug
ged west he knew so well, little real
ising or with little ground for hope
that fifteen years later he would re
turn to Washington to head the De
partment of Agriculture and sit as a
cabinet member.
When he returned to the west in
1910 he was offered a professorship
at Kansas Agricultural College. Af
ter three years as professor of agron
omy he was made Dean of the Divis
ion of Agricultral and Director of
the Experiment Department. In 1918
he succeeded Dr. H. J. Waters as
president of the Kansas College. That
is the post he now leaves to become
Secretary of Agriculture.
Dr. Jardine is a rugged westerner
who will bring to Washington first
hand knowledge of agriculture. He
has always been an outspoken advo
cate of the farmers' Interests. He
is openly opposed and a foe to gov
ernment price-fixing on farm commod
ities. He runs counter to the views
of many men prominent in the Ag
riculture Department and the influ
ences of the farm bloc in congress.
What to Expect.
In plain words. Dr. Jardine U a
fighter. A polite but positive shake
up in the Department may be expect
ed. Such opposition as is thrown up
will meet a mental vigor credited
with a thorough acquaintance with
farm problems through a lifetime
spent in studying them.

director of Agricultural Extension at
Nevada University, as assistant see-

D. A. Wilson Located In
New Place of Business
At the end of the week the stock of
gents furnishing goods and haber
dashery of the D. A. Wilson stora
was transferred to the new location
in Masonic building, and Mr. Wilson
is getting pretty well straightened
up in the new quarter, where he in
vites his old customers to visit him,
and where he expects to welcome
many new friends.
The room occupied by Mr. Wilson
was vacated by the Sam Pughes com
pany and it makes a very nice loca
tion for his line of merchandise. Sinre
opening up in lleppner Mr. Wilson
has enjoyed a splendid trade in gents'
furnishings, suits and clothing, and
he will continue to enjoy a fine pat

retary of Agriculture to Dr. Jardine,
may be expected. This is in line with
the naming of Jardine by President
Coolidge. It Is understood that Creel
is in complete accord with the views
of the new secretary and will vigor
ously carry out Jardine's policies.
Under Jardine, a radical change is
expected in the policy advocated by
the late Secretary, Henry C. Wallace.
Mr. Wallace favored the government
handling of surplus farm products
and for the virtual fixing of price.
Dr. Jardine is especially interested
in co-operative marketing. In address
he has said: "Only 10 of the trou
bles of the farmer can be remedied
by legislation. The other 90 must
be solved by tho farmers themselves
and their immediate associates the
business men of each agricultural
community."

James Hager, young son of Mr. and
Mrs. Osmin Hager, was injured quite
seriously in a runaway on Saturday
morning. He was coming down from
the field on the hill where he had
been to deliver a harrow, using the
wagon that had dump boards on.
These boards slid forward and struck
the team and they ran. The boy held
on pretty well, but when the team
made a turn at the feed yards near
the north end of Chase street, he was
thrown and struck by a wheel. Sev
eral stitches were necessary to close
the cuts on his head, but fortunately
no bones were broken.
Sheepmen and farmers are thank
ful for the tine weather, but want a
little more rain to keep the grain and
grass coming along. ' The gardener
would appreciate weather that is a lit

tough job for the weather man, as
he can not please everybody he just
shakes up tho box, opens the lid and

Our Gifts to Justice.

Neighborly Nationas.
A man in the Sing Sing death house
sentenced to die next month, hangs
himself. Doctors work over him for
hours, trying to bring him back to
life. -The interesting feature of this
death in the death house is the vio
lent effort to resuscitate tbe man af-'
ter he had strangled himself. The
law said he must die. why not let
him die?
What do the higher powers above
think of the corpses that we send up
from our gallows, electric chairs and
lethal chambers? How much better
does our civilization Beera up there
than that of the ancient Mexicans
that ripped out the heart of a living
buman sacrifice, offering that as a
welcome gift to their gods?
How do our gifts to the goddess f
justice impress real justice?
The French army has tested and
approved a new stabilizing device for
airplanes, 'Without the use of a gyro-J
scope. That means one step nearer
to absolutely safe flying, safer than
any mode of travel on land.
Ten to twenty years should see the
end of long distance rail travel and
of ocean surface travel. Wise real
estate investors will make their plans
with the nying machine in mind.
The British worry because the na
tional eyesight grows weaker. One
hundred and fifty in every 1,000 lack
good sight at the age of twenty and
ten at the age of four.
The human eye, like the teeth that
nature gave us, is defective, a poorly
made instrument. Our teeth cause
suffering and death. Teeth better
planned would not do that. Even our
five-fingered hands, would have been
much improved by adding .one finger.
w ith that extra finger we should use
in arithmetic the superior duodecimal
system, instead of the inferior deci
mal system, and we could play string
ed instruments of a higher, jnore com
plicated kind.
Floyd Collins1 suffering is over.
This man's death illustrates the pow
er and the weakness of human imag
ination. A hundred men risked their
livea to save his. Doctors went to
his rescue by flying machine, but
could do nothing. The entire nation
followed closely the tragic story.
Imagination showed the man lying
in the low cave, his leg crushed by
the 14,000-pound rock, existing day
after day for nearly two weeks in
horrible agony and discomfort.
It was possible to imagine clearly
that dreadful situation. And the na
tion sympathizes. Any legislature
would gladly have voted $100,000 to
save Collins.
The same nation, through its leg
islatures, refuses to pass the Child
Labor amendment that would free
tens of thousands of children from
years of slow torment.
The feeble public imagination can
not see clearly those children in the
mills.
The Prince of Wales, whom Amer
icans recently made very welcome,
is interested in a plan to send British
students to this country. That is
common sense, as well as a pleasant
compliment.
The Rhodes scholarship system.
that now sends American boys to
British universities, will be reversed
in the new plan. The way to estab
lish peace la to increase intelligence.
When nations know each other, they
will compete instead of fighting. .
There is disappointment because
the British Church can't find a way
to make a saint of Florence Nightin
gale, and supply her with a halo. The
answer to that is that Florence Night
ingale Is a saint already, and needs
no halo.
When she went to Scutari, with her
group of devoted nurses, to save from
needless death the wounded men in
the Crimea, sticking at her work, al
though prostrated with fever, she
made herself a saint. Nothing that
the Archbishop of Canterbury might
do would make her saintliness more
genuine than it is.

At yesterday's session of the coun

of a justice of the peace for the sixth

Changes in the cabinet have been
unhurried and each new selection
has been forced by circumstances.
New heads for the Departments of
State, Navy and Interior were forced
by the Teapot Dome exposures and
public sentiment. The change in
Agriculture was caused by the death
of Secretary Wallace. The resigna
tion of Charles Evans Hughes as
Secretary of State, brought about the
selection of Frank B. Kellogg for the
post.
Even the change within the White
House, the resignation of Private
Secretary to the President, Bascom
Slemp was forced, and the position
went to Roy Sanders of Indiana.
The arrival of Frank B. Kellogg
from London last week, where he has
served as American ambassador to
England for one year, completed the
actual presence of the Cabinet group
in Washington. Each and every one
has conferred at great length with the
President and all were set and ready
to assume duties immediately fol
lowing the inauguration today.
The opposition to the appointment
of Warren of Michigan as Attorney
general gave way in the last hours of
the closing congress when the Presi
dent refused to consider another se
lection. Summed up, the middle-west and
west seem to lead in cabinet posts.
Wilbur, Navy, and Hoover, Interior,
are from California; Kellogg, State,
is from Minnesota; Jardine, Agricul
ture, is from Kansas; Work, Interior,
is from Colorado; Warren, Attorney
General, is from Michigan; while In
diana, with New, Postoffice, Davis,
Labor, and Sanders, Secretary to the
President, leads in representation.
Weeks, War, from Massachusetts,
and Mellon, Treasurer, from Penn
sylvania, are the two only eastern
men in the cabinet.
At least, it cannot be said that
President Coolidpe kept his eyes to
the East in the remolding of his cab
