Today the address at the high school
was made by c. E. Brown, agricultural
agent for Clay county. He is a pleas
ant speaker, has something to say, and
knows how to say it. His theme was
The Country and the Need Of an Agri-

the interest of his hearers in his ac-
count of the betterment Of conditions
about he farm, how the work is so
much less of a drudgery han it used
to be and in so many ways the envi-
ronments are SO much more attractive
and general conveniences so much
more available. 1t is now a paramount
fact that to be successful in agricul-
ture there must De an education to
back the enterprise. Mr.. Brown urged
the students to make a definite choice
of what they are to follow in after
life, while in the high school and be-
gin their training for whatever they
select there-the high school is the
place for laying the foundation.

shooting Sheriff Whalley was in
Frazee and acting upon certain in
formation received he placed one
Harry Rowe under arrest and brought
him to police headquarters at Moor

announced that an amicable settle
ment had been made of the trouble be-
tween Rowe and the sheriff and good
feeling has been renewed.
