Committee Makes Strong Plea for
Support oiFarn Demonstration Work
Urges every citizen Of county sign petition that being circulated
and which will be placed before county commissioners.

Dc you think our last years in
vestment Of $3.50. for 10 the time
OF a farm demonstrates paid?
Don't you think that if we had
his whole services it would lie still
better?
Some of US have been disappoint-
ed because we could not be given as
much time as we wanted because
the demonstration had 2 large coun-
ties to ,ok alter, Whereas some
counties smaller than Lee have 2
demonstration agents. If we can
raise $500, in addition to the 500.
already donated as follows; o. S.
Government $500. and Ga. South
western and Gulf Ry. 5000, we can
secure his undivided services.
Last year we raised $3.50. by pri-
vate subscription and some Of our
citizens who did not feel able to
subscribe felt delieacy in asking
the services of Mr.. Kent. Now W.
have this proposition to put before
the Lee county citizens. This plan
is already in effect in about 10 coun
ties out of % in this division.
Let each district in the county
circulate petition TO the grand jury
OF Nov. term Of court to il ssruct
t le Co. Commissioners to pay this
oft of the county treasury. This
will tax everybody proportionate!y
and will make a county off Ger out
of the demonstration and will allow
us to have his full time in the coun
ty whereas we have now only half.
Discuss this with your neighbcrs
and if you see no effects personally
Of the demonstrators work, ask
somebody in whom you have con-
fidence and who has been under the
demonstrators supervision, what he
thinks Of this idea. II you are pref
udiced, use the judgement Of a fair
minded man who has had experien-
ce this year. If you are willing to
help us by your personal efforts in
this move, communicate with Judge
IL. L. Long, Judge W. G. Martin
orJ. G.. Pruett. 1t is urgent that we
decide on this by Nov. 18th. as con
tract and appropriation will have

Big Swimming Pool;

better known as plain Dick" in a
letter addressed to a member Of the
Saturday News staff from Moose Jaw,
in that far-off Saskatchewan region
of Canada, s.and ! am going to make
a suggestion to some Of the good peo-
pie.
And then Dick strikes straight at
the point, as follows:
"Why not have a good swimming
bath in Waterfowl? You have all
the facilities for one.
1--WE have one here, 1t is so feet
wide and about 40 feet long, 4 feet
deep at one end and s inches at the
other.
1--WE have a heating apparatus to
keep the chill off the water in the
winter.
In summe it would have the effect
Of drawing the people all Y 9 the

The result of having this bath here
is that nearly every one you meet is
an expert swimmer.

day long. winter and summer. you
may find many using ii, and the bust
ness men especially after business is
over.
i am sure that Lee Slower or the
WATERFOWL Cement Products company
could build such baths, and / don't
think there is any question but that
they would pay.
They charge rs cents for admis-
sion here, OF ten dollars a year.
"Of course there Is q gymnasium
In connection, and they also have d
shower bath which must be used be-
fore entering the bath pool. Towels

be a fine thing for Watertown.

Oiled Roadway Work

An automobile containing five wo-

This lis an extreme incident. It
ought to be taken to heart. The
Twin Cities have gone wrong on oiled
roadways for the last few years. The

that oil is a road maker instead OF a

good road out of a bad road and that
consequently the more oil the better
