NEYs ND CONTEST PAYMENT OF
NOTES Nd COOPERATIVE SUP.
PLY PEOPLE

Klamath county farmers. Who gave
notes for payment Of stock subscrip-
tions In the Cooperative supply
House. met at the Chamber Of Com
merce today. and an organization was
formed TO contest any action taken to
collect the notes. Tho members will
share equally the cost OF the nrst
action. which will be In the nature OF
a tes, suit.
The plan Of the cooperative COM
pany. A. outlined BY Representatives
OF the company. was to establish q
central warehouse In the county.
which would form part Of q string
throughout tho state. All the pro-
ducts Of the farms would bc marketed
through this medium. and all supplies
for the farmer would be purchased In
large quantities. and sold TO him at
reduced prices.
This plan. as outlined. appealed to
klamath county farmers. who realize
the need for such an enterprise here.
and approximately $4,000 In cash
and notes was subscribed for stosk.
Since that time the concern has gone
itno the hands Of receiver. with NO
action being taken toward the erec-
tion OF the warehouse.
Although the company Il no more.
the farmers who gave their notes
have learned that these pieces OF ps.
per are In existence. a. they have been
sent here from Portland for colIec-
tion. Feeling that the cash they gave
was enough to waste on the dsfunct
concern. the farmers will fight any
attempt to enforce collection Of the
notes. on the ground that the supply

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March IT,
DR.. p. p. Ciaxton. United States COM
missioner Of education. is alarmed At
the fact that the spelling books Of the
present day and time do not convey to
the people the proper command OF .
strong vocabulary. as the old blue
back spelling book" Of by-gons days.
DIR. Leonard p. Ayres. Of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation. has furnished
the bureau OF education some valua-
BILE information along this line. He
has examined 1000 business and per-
sonal letters. and tabulated words
actually used In them. He compared
the words found In those In the usual
spelling books with surprising results.
OF l14 words In common use on the
national education associations SPELL
ing lists, 2s9 never once appeared In
any Of the 1000 letters, showing that
the average spelling book Of the day
does not convey to the pupil proper
and general command Of a good vo-
cabulary. In the 1000 letters. but
2.0o1 separate words were used. out
of $4,000 words tabulated. Forty
three words appeared SO frequently
as to make up half the total number
of the $4,000 words used.
Both DR.. Clayton and Dr.. Ayres
recommend q book that will teach
pupils words In common use. Hun
dreds OF words are taught in the
schools that seldom are used. and
those In common use neglected.

functions of the season for the
set was the dance given last Friday
evening at the Masonic Hall by the
young men of the city. A number

were likewise among the dancers.
Several visiting young ladies were
among those especially popular.
A feature Of the evening was the
buck-and-wing dancing of Master

This young exponent of the terpsi-
chorean art delighted all present
with his clever and entertaining
work, he having appeared in a num-

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

AS the year draws to close, it
becomes more manifest that the
services Of the Lee County Chamber
of Commerce for the first part Of
its existence have been most help
full. The assurance that through
the agency of the workers Of the
organization sum sufficient for
the maintenance Of farm demon
stration agent for the year 1914, in
conjunction with Terrell County, is
in itself a proof that the Lee Coun-
ty 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 a county fair next Oc-
tober. It is grateful to the manage
ment Of The Journal to know that
interest in county fair and an ex-
hibitby the people Of the county at
the State fair next fall in Macon, is
fast growing among the people Of
the county.
1t has been the opinion Of The
Journal from the time when the
suggestion for 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 a practical way what had
been accomplished by the farm
demonstration work during the
year. What could be a more
natural outcome of the farm
demonstration work than county
fair? The fair here shouldbe follow
ed Of course, BY an exhibit Of Lee
county'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

such as tomatoes.
When watering the bed, put on
enough to thoroughly moisten the soil,
but not to saturate it and thus de-
stroy the strength of manure. The
bed need not be watered every day,
but only when the soil has dried out.
Water the bed in time for the foliage
to dry off before night. Damp foliage
at night favors disease.
The air should be changed every
day, even on coolest days there should
be at least a slight opening, taking
care always to make the opening away
from the wind, so that cold air will
not be forced in.
AS time for planting in the field
draws near, the plants must be har-
dened off, and on warm nights the
cover may be left of and If days are
favorable the same can be done two
or three weeks before planting.
It is always better to transplant
twice. The first time about two inch
es apart when true leaves begin to
form and about four inches apart the
second time when they can be put in
flats" that is, large fiat boxes, in
which they can be carried to the field
and planted with the soil of the fiat
still around them.

what Congressman Charles R..

per year for the support Of the city

The bill introduced by Congress
