"a. I. PARSONS VIEWS
Believes That Movement Could be
Popularized BY Securing
Large Number Of
Subscribers.

United efforts toward the perma.
nent organization OF Lee county for
benefiting her agricultural interests
and securing an agricultural expert
Will be opened again on Friday Of this
week when the delegates named
last spring will meet at Dom
nelson. The meeting of the rep.
resentatives of the Lee county Agri-
cultural Bureau will be held at 10
o'clock.
Much discussion of the matter was
engaged in early last spring and at
an enthusiastic meeting in Fort Mad
ison, temporary organization was
formed which was later organized IN
permanent form at a meeting in Dom
nelson at which Art. Houston OF Den
mark was chosen president and o. r.
Johnston OF Fort Madison, secretary.
Suspended During Summer.
Because the, Donnellson meeting
was called just when the most busy
season Of the Lee county farmer was
opening, 1t was decided to make a
permanent organization, name town
ship committees to work up the mat.
ter throughout the entire county, and
call the next meeting for Aug. 1, when
the matter could again be taken up
and plans started for work in the fall
after the farmers busy season would
be over
1t is expected that at the meeting
Friday the representatives of the var
ious townships will report enough
subscriptions pledged to insure the
hiring Of a farm expert later on.
A Popular Movement.
A. L. Parsons who represents the
Keokuk Industrial association on tbs
county committee, believes that, il
properly exploited, the movement vii
become very popular. While Mr.. Par
sons has talked to some farmers who
dislike the idea of the crop adviser
and are satisfied they can farm good
enough in their own way most OF
those he has talked to have endorsed
the proposition heartily. Many PEG
pie of the city have also endorsed
the proposition.
Mr.. Parsons believes in getting as
many people interested in the farm
expert idea as possible, and has ex
& pressed view that there is no bet
ter way of doing this than by secur
ing $500 people Of the county to sub
scribe dollar each to the fund He
believes that this amount. together
with that the water power compan,
and Burlington railroad will give viii

Senator TiIlman of South Carolina a
few days after the inauguration pic
turesquely alluded to the wild asses
that had broken into the green corn.
There, athirst, they were helping them
selves to their fill The Senator con-
ceived of them as quenching a drought

Nevertheless, in spite of the humor
of the South Carolina Senator, there

EL0PEMENT SAVES
LEGACY FOR GROOM
Couple Wed in Alexandria, and
Win Snug Fortune BY Barely
Few Moments.

Those who believe that all romance
has been knocked out of life should
read this story of F. Joseph Clark and
Miss Meryle c. Sagley who. after many
difficulties. were married last night in
Alexandria. Every ingredient of 20
nance, from the dashing taxicab. in
lieu of horse, to the minister awakened
just before midnight. including the
legacy which might not be received. Is
here.
Clark said he was a contractor of
Washington. and some time ago a rela-
tive bequeathed him a snug little for
tune on the condition that he be mar
ried before he was thirty-five. The
marriage license must bear his age as
thirty-four. Clark has for some time
loved Miss Sagley. His birthday Is
April Is. and today he has been upon
this earth thirty-five years.
Yesterday Miss Sagley, who lives in
Altoona and Is twenty-four. came to
Washington, and the earnest protesta-
tions of love from Mr.. Clark, and his
imminent prospect Of losing the fortune
because he could marry none other
y.lelted her heart and she said, yes.
The happy couple hailed a taxi"
and reached Alexandria at a late hour
After some search the marriage license
clerk was found, and the Rev. C. P
Strausberg was awakened and per-
formed the ceremony just before mid
night.

The case Of a Missouri job hunter
which was related about the Capitol
today is typical. He came here twenty
seven days ago in quest Of appointment

He saw his Congressman and Sena-

OF his political services and finally
found his way to Secretary Bryan.
