. MYSTERY IN COMMITTEE.

There Is a certain t.nge of mystery
about the unfavorablc report Of the
House Committee on the United Agri-
cultural Board BILL OF course, no one
can ever say exactly what COM
mittee is going to do. Bills which ap-
pear favorable on their face are some
times buried without explanation.
while other measures of doubtful wis
dom receive the prompt approval OF
the men who have them in charge.
But this bill appeared to have every
thing in Its favor. 1t had been aired
before it was presented. t had been
nodded to meet all known conflicting
views. 1t had strong patrons. 1t had
the unqualified support of the Cover
nor. All OF these. 1t would have
seemed. should have helped It to pas
sage.
But aside from its patronage and
| supposed backing, the bill had real,
genuine merit. 1t aimed to close up
leaks and coordinate work OF great
value to the State. 1t was planned to
| put all the States agricultural energy
| into well directed and efficient chan
| nels. Under its operation we should
| have had no fear that work would be
| duplicated, Where board composed OF
the Governor, Superintendent Eggles-
| ION. Mr. Koincr, Mr.. Sandy and two
other members could supervise the ag-
r!cultural and experiment work OF the
State. there was little chance that
money would be spent in teaching a
boy how to GROW corn and then spcnd-
ing moro money to teach the boys
father the same thing. Under the rdi-
rection OF such a board, farmers in
stitute would not be held in com
mun!ty where agricultural demon
strators were going from farm to
farm.
Then. too, the bin would most sure
| ~ have fostered agricultural develop
ment at very small cost. 1t could
not he otherwise. When the same

lerns We're. they would soon have

These three men. Noah, Daniel and

Noah, the Believer IN Gods Word:

these arc the three forms in which
life comes to every man. These are
