demonstration agent to work among
the farmers wives instructing them
In domestic science, household eco

pointed by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which pays half
her salary. The lady selected for the
position is Mrs. L. Fl. Fash, wife Of
the county farm agent.
The securing of this lady agent for
Bryan county is due to the active In
terest taken in this work by the Du-
rant City Federation of Women's

was asked by the United States agent
for Oklahoma to contract for the SER
vices of lady denomination agent,
but felt that II was not able TO as
sumo the responsibility at this time,
SO President Powers appealed to the
Federation of women's Clubs to take
IIp the work, and this they did. Tha
officers OF the federation, who are
especially entitled to credit for Sc
curing the lady agent, are Mrs. A. v.
Hamilton, president; Mrs. w. n.
Creager, secretary; and Mrs. J. b.
Hunter: chairman of the committee
appointed to handle the matter. II is
understood that the Durant Fedora.
tion will seek the assistance of the
Women's Clubs throughout the coun-
ty in raising the money necessary to
pay the agents salary. The contract
made by the federation is for niue
months. and their portion Of the sal
airy is s1S.75 per month. The agent
is to receive a salary OF SIS per
month. but the government pays a
half Of this. and her work is to cover
Bryan and Marshall counties, those
two counties together are to pay the
other half. The plan is for her to
spend two weeks of each month in
Bryan county and two weeks in Mar
shall county. She will begin her work
on the first Of January.
Mrs. Fash, the lady demonstration
agent. is a lady especially well fitted
for this work and has had three
years experience as such agent IN

to her coming to Durant. last octo-
ber.

office, It is knowa that the proof
submitted by the Durant city offic-
ials failed to show that D'Yarmett
had any unlawful intent in causing
the coupons to be presented, even IL
1t could have been proved that he
did this.
The story or the Durant officials is
that several years ago D'Yarmett
took contract to pave certain streets
In Durant for the sum Of SO thou
sand dollars. Later, the Missouri,
Kansas. and Texas rail.yay company
agreed to pave part of the property
and the city council rescinded part Of
the bonds.
In the meantime however, D'Yar-
met had had the. bonds and coupons
printed, which, while the coupons
bore the autographed signatures Of
the city officials. the bonds had new
er been signed.
The city treasurer and clerk OF Du
rant made an investigation which re-
suited in the arrest Of D'Yarmett

later before Justice Of the Peace
