as would make the work more
efficient.
The general concensus of opin-
ion among the men was that the
work was very satisfactory so
far as personal work was con-
cerned. 1t was felt, however,
that more work should be done
along the line of campaigns, pro-
jects, etc. 1t has long been real
lied that the true mission of the
County Agent was not to be a
farm doctor, but to lay definite
plans and projects whereby the
best methods may be ascertain
ed, this by actual comparison on
representative farms Of the
county, and then to finally con-
clude the whole thing, live cam
paigns to the end that these
best methods and best practices
may be adopted by the whole of
the farming population.

1t is with a large degree of
pleasure that we again take up
the duties of our work i'm St.
Francois county after an enjoy
able and very profitable vacation.
Our vacation has been a profit
able one because our trip has in
cluded one large County Fair,
one splendid draft colt show in
our home town, and a day at the
Iowa State Fair. The value of
a day at the Iowa State Fair is
hard to estimate. They have
there this year a stock show
which is said to surpass the ex-
hibit at the Panama Exposition.
While this vacation has been
profitable to ourselves, we feel
that it has been equally profit
able to the people of st. Fran
co.'s county because our vision
has been broadened. We have
come in contact with some of
the best agricultural authorities
in the county. So as we return
to our work it is with a new in
spiration and a firm determina-
ton to work even harder in the
interests of the people of this
county. We believe in ourselves
and in the work we are doing.
We are firmly convinced that
the County Agent work is GO
ing to prove one of the greatest
factors in agricultural progress
that we have. Our field is large. |
AS one travels over the country
he cannot help but be impressed
with the tremendous waste that
is allowed to go on everywhere.
When we compare the produc-
tive with the non-productive, we
are sure that we have only be-
gun on the solution of the prob
lem of an abundant food supply
for a constantly increasing pop
ulation. / am in no doubt but
what this county will be perfect
ly able to provide for as many
people as she will ever have. To
do this will necessitate a higher
producing average and a much
more efficient system of distri-
button. We believe this is to be
our function. We of the national, ;
state and county agricultural
agencies are to be the means of !
solving these general and spe-
,ific problems. We can do this {
md the better cooperation we |
get from our people, the more
'apid progress we will be able
o make. |

GREAT REFINERY TO
 RENEW OPERATIONS
Chalmette Sugar Refinery to Place One Thousand Men at Work
 Immediately

New Orleans, November 15.--The Chal- mette refinery here of the American Su- gar Refining company in the near future will resume full operations and give em- ployment to 1000 additional workmen, ac- cording to an announcement here today by Earl D. Babst, president of the cor porations For nearly a year the refinery has been operated intermittently with a reduced force and practically all the su- gar handled was brought here from Cuba. MT. Babst declared the corporation again would enter the Louisiana market as a buyer and would purchase both raw and clarified sugar.
 The state of Louisiana now has in the courts suit to oust the corporation from the state on the ground that it is a combination in restraint of trade. Un- der provisions of so-called antitrust law enacted by the legislature in extra ordinary session several months ago, the state also seeks appointment of receiver for the corporation and an injunction to prevent the alleged manipulation of the price of sugar.

-A Isn't that a nice maxim7

Isn't that a nice maxim7 It certainly is, if you happen to be a charter member of the Down and Out club.
 A few weeks ago the big newspapers flashed the news over the wires about a certain young man who had taken his own life; he was young and had the world before him; he was graduated from one of the great universities, and had been the editor of a well known magazine. The only reason he gave for his rash act was that he thought he was down and out" He had lost his position and had found no other; and l.e had really given up the battle it seems, before 1t had ever began. In other words he allowed his belief that he was down and out, to grow upon him, until he lost control of his fighting faculties and gave up.
 One cannot help reflecting upon the pity of it all, and of how many there are just like this young fellow who give up too soon. There are so many, who while they don't actually commit suicide, look at themselves through such dark, gray glasses, and for so long a time that the wear ana tear or Such calculations actu- ally creates the gloom that shuts out all thought of gladness or hope.
 This young fellow, just 26, had all the world before him, if he had only looked the situation squarely in the face. The great mistake was that he took defeat as definite, when as matter of fact it was only transient, temporary, passing.
 Defeat only for those who recognize it; the fear of the possible pain of poverty has brought more people to the down
