Contract Has Been Made With
Farm Demonstration Agent
win report for duty January. Mr. r. H. Kent selected as agent
for Lee and Terrell counties. County fair
practically assured

A formal contract has been
signed ID secure for Lee county a
farm demonstration agent for the
year 1914. Mr.. D. G. Jones, one
OF Lee county's best known farm
ers, who is chairman of the farm
demonstration advisory committee
of the Chamber Of Commerce has
signed the contract that will insure
the services of Mr.. R. H. Kent du-
ring 1914 as farm demonstration
agent for Lee and Terrell counties
jointly.
At the farmers meeting held
here last Tuesday practically all
the sum needed to make out the
$3.50 pledged for the farm demon
stration agent was secured, and
there are still several more sub
scribers who have not made good
their pledges. All Of this will be /,
collected, as those who pledged the
largest sums have paid, and every
other subscriber should honor the
drafts drawn on them at the last
meeting so as to secure the earliest
payment Of the money.
The sum has been over sub
scribed, but the remainder will be
held in trust as surplus fund for
the work. This surplus fund will
in all likelihood be used to hold
county fair in Lee county next
year and to send an exhibit from
this county to the State fair il
Macon. The Journals repeated
suggestion that Lee county be rep.
resented in Macon at the State fail
and here in County fair received
the hearty commentator of those
present at Tuesdays meeting.
Some definite action as regards
the county fair will likely be taken
at the meeting to be held here in
January. Az that time it is hoped
that farmers organization for the
county may be formed. 1t is the
purpose of those who have been
most earnest and persistent in the
work of securing farm demon
stration agent to-secure a solid or
gapization of the farmers of the
county, also. :
The next meeting will be held J
here January 20. at the codnty
court house at IL O'Clock. Every
farmer in the county is urged to
attend.
The list Of those who have sub
scribed to the farm agent fund and
have paid is as follows:

Chamber Of Commerce Has
Accomplished Very Much
Within short time trade organization Of the county has made ex
ceIen record Not only demonstration agent is assured
but apparently county fair

services Of the Lee County Chamber
Of Commerce for the first part d
its existence have been most help
full. The assurance that through
the agency of the workers of the
organization sum sufficient for
1.-THE maintenance of a farm demon
stration agent for the year 1919, in
conjunction with Terrell County, is
in itself a proof that the Lee Coun-
Ity Chamber of Commerce in the
first few months of its existence
has justified its establishment.
Furthermore, it is pointed ont
that with the sum that will remain
after the farm demonstration agent
is paid, it is possible for Lee coun-
ty to hold county fair next Oc-
tcoer. It is grateful to the manage
hent of The Journal to know that
interest in county fair and an ex-
hibit by the people Of the county at
the State fair next fall in Macon, is
fast, growing among the people of
the county.
It has been the opinion of The
Journal from the time when the
suggestion for a farm demonstra-
tor was first put forward by this
paper that a county fair should be
held in the county next fall to
show in practical way what had
been accomplished by the farm
demonstration work during the
year, What could be more
natural outcome of the farm
demonstration work than a county
fair? The fair here shouldbe follow
ed of course, by an exhibit Of Lee
eounty's best agricultural products
in Macon. This is exactly what
The Journal long ago championed.
and it is pleasing to know that the
people Of the county are favoring
more and more this idea. The work
of the Chamber of Commerce,
which continues to grow steadily,
has been most helpful in this par
ticular.
Funds paid into the organization
and now in bank is as follows:

FIGURES SAY THAT
EDUCATION PAYS
DATA COMPILED By PENNSYL-
WANNA SCHOOL MAN FAvoRs
SKILLED LABOR.

A complete series Of figures which
have recently been compiled by Phil
adelphia educator, stated G. r. Drum,
who recently closed week Of lectures
here, Is strong in its declaration for
skilled labor and the fact that educa-
ton Is paying in its dividends.
Taking as fair average the unedu-
work. There are three hundred working
days In tho year and In that time he
earns $3.50. Calling a fair working life
as extending over q period of forty
years in that time he earns $4,000.
Then looking at the educated mans
side Of the question, it is said that
taking as an average wage Of educated
men from the president Of the United
States down, $1,000 a year is q good
figure. Working at this figure at the
end Of forty years he has accumulated
$4,000. The data shows that in an av-
erage lifetime the educated man earns
lust $4,000 more than the uneducated
and unskilled man.
Now taking as q fair average that
both men receive at least five years Of
schooling and taking that out of the
count, the man that continues school is
spending eleven years In study while
the other man Is working. There are
200 school days in the year or alto
S6LQer Ilo bpc1uS A,6Vo Odyb III oCilOON.
After he is out Of school he earns $22,-
900 more than the other man and
counting on this basis for every day in
school after this five years he receives
Just exactly ten dollars.
This data is compiled with a view
pointing entirely to the economic re-
suits to be derived and does not deal
at all with the enjoyment and appre-
citation of life that would come with an
AduoatinA- @
