FARM AGENTS EVERYWHERE.

The farmers down in Los Angeles county. Cali
fornia in cooperation with the Chamber of Com
merce. have just recently organized farm bureau
and authorized the employment of farm expert,
and ten other counties in that state operate under
that system cooperating with the federal govern
ment under the Smith Lever bill as we have been
doing here.
Carl S. Vrooman assistant to Secretary Houston
of the federal department of agriculture, told
recent gathering Of state leaders and agricultural
agents in St. Louis that the farmers Of fully one
fourth of the United States being taught scien-
tifc agriculture by experts on their own farms and
predicted that the county agent movement WILL
within five years. cover the United States. Then,
he added, the wonderful resources of the United
States will just begin to develop.
These facts, but few of what might be gath
cred together if one desired, are mentioned here
merely to remind the doubling ones in Thurston
county that the farm agent movement is going
forward not backward, that it has the backing of
every progressive agricultural agency in the coun-
try. These compose the Handwriting on the
wall"-and you know what happened in the olden
days to the people who could not read it.

CONGRESS IS AT IT AGAIN.

Facing the prospect of long and probably
stormy session which is mighty apt to last until the
"dog days." to exert great influence on the next
national campaign and perhaps to endure some
great oratorical Travelling until it is ended the
United States congress convened at the national
capital this week for the "long session."
Some of the things which President Wilson
hopes it will accomplish before its labors are over
are spoken of in his annual message, which to our
mind in view of the conditions in this country and
abroad, is masterful document, very forceful,
straightforward and statesmanlike document. If
the congress now will do, with as little rag
chewing" as possible, that which the president
proposes it will have accomplished an enviable
record.

CHAPTER XIV.

Samson stopped at his studio and threw open an old closet where, from filtered pile of discarded background draperies, canvases and stretchers, he dshed out buried and dust-covered pair of saddlebags. They had long lain there forgotten, but they held the rusty clothes in which he had left Misery He threw them over his arm and dropped them at Adrienne's feet, as he handed her the studio keys.
 Will you please have George look after my things, and make the neces- sary excuses to my sitters? He'll find list of posing appointments in the desk"
 The girl nodded
 "What are those?" she asked, gaz- ing at the great leather pockets as at some relic unearthed from Pompeiian excavations.
 "Saddlebags, Drennie," he said, and in them are homespun and. jeans. One can't lead his 'fluttered folk and wild in cutaway coat"
 
 and the man, standing at the side of the machine, took her hand.
 "It's not good-by, you know he said, smiling Just auf Wiedersehen."
 She nodded and smiled too, but as she smiled she shivered, and turned the car slowly. There was no need to hurry now.
 Samson had caught the fastest west. bound express on the schedule. In thirty-six hours he would be at Hixon. There were many things which his brain must attack and digest in these hours. He must arrange his plan of action to it's minutest detail, because he would have as little time for reflec tion, once he had reached his own country, as wildcat flung into pack of hounds.
 From the railroad station to his home he must make his way-most probably fight his way-through thirty miles of hostile territory, where all the trails were watched. And yet, for the time, all that seemed too remotely unreal to hold his thoughts. He was seeing the coolly waving curtains of lowered chintz that stirred in the win dows of his room at the Lescott house and the crimson ramblers that nodded against the sky. He was hear ing a knock on the door, and seeing, as it opened, the figure of Adrienne Lescott and the look that had been in
