OKLAHOMA CITT, Oct. 18.-Over 1.000
delegate were present In convention hall
thla morning when the Farmers' National
congress, meeting In twenty-seventh an
nual session, began Its first business ses
sion. '
. M. D. Watson of Kearney, Neb., de
livered an address on "Dry Farming,"
shaming how the principles developed
could be used to advantage even In reg
ions where lha rainfall usually la suf
ficient. President John N. Stahl of Clil
:ago delivered hla ani.ual address.
President Stahl raid. In part:
The year drawing to a close has been
ane of unuiuil seasonable vicissitudes.' In
some sections heavy crop losses have re
sulted from Insect and unseasonable
weather; yet, because of higher prlcta, the
farmers of the United States will receive
almost or quite one trillion dollars more
for their crop than they did last year. 1
can congratulate you on your material
progress for the yenr.
Unlike the captains of high finance, stock
manipulators, buyers of governing of
ficials, our wealih Is clean. Kvery dollar
made means thst much more to feed and
clothe mankind, that much more for com
fort and happiness.
Trulv, In the farmers is yet to be found
that training that produces the highest
type of manhood and womanhood and
upon which the country must rely.
While It Is proper for us to consider
transportation, , tariff, and such things,
nevertheless wie should remember that
fortune probably hepends mora on the In
dividual than on condition. The man
with tho best land is not always the one
with the best fnrm. Nothing can exceed
In Importance what we do with the abili
ties given us except what we. do' to In
fluence what our children do with their
shinties. True, real education hss more
thsn anything else, probably more than all
thlnra else, to do with prja's. .success and.
happiness and one's usefulness as a social
unit. Education Is always basic. Educa
tion Is far more than memory, than know
Ing things. It includes skillful, trained
use. It can be got outside schools. Put
schools are designed to educate and the
right sort of eohoola will always be the
best means of education.. I. do not believe
that any subject that will come before
you will surpass agricultural education
in Importance. The program has been
arranged for lt thorough discussion by
men eminently . nual'tled to ' discus ' lt
Henre I shall only call attention to Its
Importance aril, to the downright silliness
of no arrcultural Instruction In our coon
t rr-Ji hoots.
"fpis afternoon Congressman Edgar C.
t:i(7k of Kansas Clfv. Mo., delivered an
address on "InlnnA Watnrwava frAnanor I

A variety of thrills were provided for the
Immense crowd of spectators that thronged
about tho arena at the horso show last
night. In addition to the usual exhibition
of grace and beauty tho management pro
vided two events that sent tho red blood
plunging through tho veins of every man
aud woman who loves the spectacular and
admires equine power and agility. Those
two events were the magnificent team of
six big grays owned by Armour, which en
tered the arena with their six tons of
horseflesh and three and a half ton wagon
and plunged around the ring followed by
the cheers of the crowd.
The other sensation waa the high jump
ing of the huntera for the world'a record.
Heretofore the Jumping has been merely
for beauty, but last night the horses took
the high hurdles, the height of the bara
being the principal point by which they wero.
j Judged. Then there were the carriage
al-(.horses, the high steppers, tno epeeanwe
class, the roadsters, the beautifully galled
animals and the park fours to add to the
beauty of the program.
Council Bluffs night brought out a good
crowd, many of tho society people from
across the river bolng seen In the boxes.
The gallery was also well filled with spec
tators. The people came early and stayed until
tile very last entry had boen shown, and
on no previous evening has the Interest
' been so centered and nialntolned throughout
i every event. Society was there In all lt
I elorv and made the usual pretty bouquet
! of feminine beauty, aided and ably seconded
by "confection" cteators and gown maker,
The balcony showed tier on tier of well
dressed men and women, lovers and ad
mirers of the horse. The very walls of
i the Auditorium seemed to take on s...ne-
thing of the glow and brilliancy of tke
j occasion as they resounded to the strains
I of Green's orchestra, responded to the
muffled paces of the hordes, the tinkling
of the trappings, the champing of bits and
echoed and re-echoed to the applausa of
the great assemblage.
Hunters a Feature.
The hunting class was a feature of par
ticular Interest and the paces of the hand
some animals in this event were watched
with the keenest xest. Then came the hand-
some parade or tne siaieiy ana aigniiica
i anlnials attached to glistening equipages
and there was the Inspiring sight of tba
horses In well controlled step trotting and
cantering and moving In resnonse to the
slightest movement of the rein.
Jim Murray, who gained recognition from

"The success of the present horse show
is scarcely realized by those who have
not seen similar exhibitions In other
cities." said W. H. McCord. who was an
exhibitor at the Chicago show last year.
"This is a great show and surpasses by
all odds the Chieagq exhibition of a year
ago."
Two of the Judge, were awked for an
opinion and they bear out this statument.
They ought to know, too, for they have
been In the business for years and have
traveled In all parts of the world.
