Compliments Tombstone.

In closing Judge Richardson paid a well deserved compliment to Tomb stone and the magnificent celebration she had prepared. He spoke of the pleasure it was for Douglas to partici. pate in il, and said that incidentally the share Douglas had iR making it Q success was due to efforts of Oscar K. Coll. secretary of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce, and former Tombstone citizen He said the only "bOnehead" MT. Coll had pulled in connection with the celebration. was in asking hin 10 speak. but judging from the applause mat Judge Rich ardson's speech received, the crowd did not agree with that statement.

Richardson Speaks.

The orators Of the day were to be J. S. Williams, Of Bisbee, and Judge D. A Richardson, of this city. The Bisbee attorney however. was unable to be present and the speech of the day was made by Judge Richardson. He was introduced in a few well chosen words by w. c. Gilmore. for mer county attorney.
 Judge Richardson made masterly plea for conservatism iR our political life and against the radical tendencies of today. especially the recall of judges and of judicial decisions. He took as his subject. Criticism" and simplifying it traced the develop ment of the Anglo-Saxon theory Of government from its inception to the present time. The speech was a logi- cal and na.stefly effort and will be printed in full in this paper.

bers Of this organization and other
business men il the community. This
Is made necessary because many OF
the farmers have not yet realized the
sbeneft or the county agent TO tham
sufficiently to induce large contribns
lions to the lmainte nances fund but we
believe that as the work continues the,
benefits thereby derived by the farm:
ers will be SO apparent that they will
maintain all the additional expense
without any special EFFORT.
Your committee, therefore, beg to
urge proper consideration of this or
ganization OF the facts above given so
that the funds necessary for paying
everything to the first Of July may be
made available at the earliest possible
date.
Respectfully yours,

mitted the following report:
On behalf OF our committee 1t gives
me pleasure to report briefly the &C.
tivity Of the committee and the re-
suits OF their work during the last
year.
County Agent H. L. Smith has
proved himself one of the most valua-
BILE assets Marion county possesses,
and the Chamber OF Commerce de-
serves much credit for initiating this
movement. which has resulted in the
organization OF the Marion County
Farm Bureau. This organization is
now reaching out to every part OF the
county, and is securing members wher-
ever possible. The membership fee in
the organization is $3.50 per year.
After considerable inquiry from diff
ferent people who are in touch with
the entire county, believe your COM
mittee Is safe in stating that at the
present time there is approximately
100 per cent. more ground under cul-
tivation in the county than at any pre-
Yious time, or at least within recent
years. This is due in a very great
measure to the interest that has been
created by the activities of County
Agent Smith. His recent report to
the Farm Bureau indicated in facts
and figures his activity concerning
which we do not care to go into detail
at this time. Mr.. Smith Is prepared
tonight to give you lantern demon
stration showing in splendid way
some of the results OF his work.
Concerning the financial obligations
Of the Chamber of Commerce wish
to say that after July list, 1915, the
county court will assume that portion
of the agents salary that was origin.
ally assumed by the Chamber. but we
are under obligations to cover all ex-
penses and salary due up to that date,
which aggregates $4,000. 1t is the
opinion of the committee that this
sum will have to be raised largely by
Individual subscriptions OF the mem
