tire week and much better than at the
enc held a year ago. Much hard work
had been done by the officers and di-
rectors of the association to make the
short course week success, and it is
the opinion of all that the programs
carried out could not have been i'm
proved upon. The officers and direct
orS of the association are to be con-
graduated upon their work in making
the short course here one of the most
successful yet held by the extension
department this year and this state
Rent was made by Professor Kennedy,
who was loud in his praises for the
manner in which the course was con-
Quoted.
So satisfactory and commendable
was the work of the officers that when
the election was held on Friday after
noon at the court house the same Off
GERS were reelected without single
objection for the course which is to
be held next year. This was indeed
a honor to be conferred upon the
officers and shows that the people gen.
orally appreciate their efforts and the
good work done.
Thursday Evening Entertainment.
DR.. A. f. Kepford. state lecturer of
the department of tuberculosis, gave
an illustrated lecture Thursday eve
ling at the opera house. On account
OF the bad storm that evening there
was not such large attendance as
had been anticipated, but all those
present enjoyed the lecture and fine
slides thrown upon the screen. DR..
kepford had lectured in Denison be-
fore and people generally knew that
rare treat was in store for them. He
has lectured on the subject of tuber-
culosis for the past eight years and
consequently is we'll versed on this i'm
portant subject. His lecture was pre-
ceded by musical number given by
the high school chorus.
Dr.. Rice Drew Large Crowd.
Friday afternoon was devoted to the
subject OF hog cholera and DR.. C. D.
Rice, OF the extension department of
Ames. was on hand and delivered a
most interesting lecture on this i'm
portant topic at the opera house. The
opera house was packed with those
eager to learn of the symptoms and
treatment of this devastating disease.
He explained how farmers could de-
termine whether or not their hogs
were afflicted with cholera and gave
much valuable information regarding
the treatment necessary to combat the
disease. He told how serum was man
ufactured and explained the difference
between serum and virus. He is a
firm believer in the simultaneous
method of vaccinating.
Spelling Contest Proved Exciting.
The spelling contest Friday evening
drew the largest crowd of any enter
tainment during the week and the
opera house was filed to it's capacity
with relatives and friends of the par
weeks the list of 1900 words to be
used in the contest had been in the
hands of the school children in the
county, and from the way the children
spelled we Judge that they had in
dulged in many hours Of preparation
On Friday, February 9Th. the township
contests We're held and on account of
the storm some Of the contests were
not held. This made a less number
Of contestants, but what was lacking
in numbers was made up for in excel
lent spelling. Messrs. Albert Weiss and
Prof w. G. VanNess and Miss Anna
Flynn acted as judges. and in cases
Of dispute the 1913 edition of Web
ster's international dictionary was re-
ferred to. The contest was started at
o'clock and in an hours time there
we're twenty.three contestants who had
not missed single word. At 1870
all had been spelled down but five and
the list Of 1900 words had been used
SO the remainder We're taken from a
spelling book.
