The board of commissioners of Put
nam county showed their faith in the
general work and value of the farm
demonstration, when at their regular
monthly meeting in Palatka this week
they decided to appropriate the sum
of 5000, which with the sum subscribe
ed by the government for this purpose,
namely 5000, makes a total of 81 800
for the annual salary of a man to fill
this important office. The sum is
small enough, indeed, and by it they
will not be able to command the ser
vices of one of the best men, but the
chief point to note at this time is the
endorsement which this action of the
commissioners gives to the value and
usefulness of the work done in this
way. There was only one man who
opposed the appointment of Demon
strator on the ground that the re-
suits elsewhere did not prove the me-
cessity or value of such an appoint
ment. Another commissioner who
voted to the contrary when the mo-
ton was put, did so because he though
that $500, the sum proposed to be
paid as salary, was too small to in
duce good man to accept the job.
We venture to utter the prophecy that
after Putnam county has had man
on the job for year, they would
not be without demonstration, or adj
visor as we prefer to call him, if they
had to pay him twice the sum at pre-
sent named as salary.--St. Augustine
Record.

SCENE OF DEATH
FINALE AT OPERA
Boris Godunoff Sung at
Close of the Season
for 1914'15.

The curtain of the final act of the
opera season of 19l4-15 fell last night
on the death Of Boris Godunof. Verdi
opened the season and MoussorgsN
closed il, and the end was fully equal
to the beginning. A large audience
gave a hearty send off to the season,
and listened with close attention to
the opera which has been the most
important addition to the repertory Of
the METROPOLITAN since Wagner's par
sifal." Adamo Didur, of course, i'm
personated the tortured Gar, and gave
renewed cause for gratitude that we
possess an artist of his sincerity and
Imaginative power. In his enactment
of Boris he rose last night to superb
heights, while his voice had never been
finer in texture or more expressive IN
feeling.
Adamo Didur did not take us by
storm at his first appearance, but he
has done better-he has steadily grown
in artistic stature until he IS now one
of the foremost artists on the operate
stage. Others in the cast included
Nine. ODER, Miss Sparkes, Nine.
Duchene, Nine. Delaunois, Mr.. ROthier,
Mr.. Segurola and Mr.. Althouse. Owing
TO Mr.. Toscanini's illness, Giorgio Pol
acco conducted and conducted we'll.
The chorus, which perhaps even more
than Boris himself, the opera 5 chief
protagOnist, again covered itself with
glory. ~.
Richard Strauss's "RosenkavSlier"
was the afternoon opera. Beautiful
as some portions Of this work is, its
inordinate length and doubtful sin
cerity have caused no increase in
either public or critical interest. Its
DAYS in the Metropolitan repertory
are probably numbered. But yester-
days performance brought other and
poignant interest-it was the farewell
of Alfred Hertz after many years Of
constant and enthusiastic endeavor.
Mr.. Hertz received tumultuous greet
ing on his entrance into the conductors
stand and at the conclusion OF each
act.
After the final curtain he was called
out nearly dozen times. until he had
to stammer his thanks. This was ms
public and unofficial greeting. After
the last of the audience had left the
auditorium the board of directors. in
the person of Otto II. Kahn. and the
German members OF the company
called Mr. Hertz upon the stage and
presented 10 MIN oilN'i wv 'llH ~
as a gift from the directors, and sill
yer wreath and a gold cigarette case
from the artists. In presenting the
wreath Mr.. Kahn said:
"Mr. Hertz, your efforts in behalf
Of German opera have placed YOUR
name with that Of Anton Seidl. You
take with you our best wishes ard our
gratitude"
During Mr.. Kahn's speech and that
Of Otto Goritz, who spoke in German,
the tears were streaming down Mr..
Hertz's cheeks. All that he could say
in reply was:
"My heart is too full to permit me
TO say anything except that | thank
YOU from the bottom of my heart

Il was Grandmothers' day at the

She was much disappointed IN herseift

that a really truly suffragist can make

to try again next year.
She recited her speech in a secluded

S. PERCY HOOKER
DIES in HOSPITAL
Ex-senator Was Active in
Republican Affairs-HOn-
ored by Gov. Hughes.
LOST HIGHWAY POST
UNDER DIX REGIME
Democratic Legislature Passed
Bill Abolishing His
Office.

S. Percy Hooker. Of lie Roy, Genesee
County, who was APPOINTED chairman
of the State Highway Commission by
Governor Hughes, died last night at
New York Hospital. He had been Ill
for several days.
For many years Mr.. Hooker was
closely associated with state politics,
first as Assemblyman, when he was
chairman of the Railroad Commission
and Republican leader Of the House,
and later as Senator and Highway Com
missioner
Born in Wisconsin in 1860, he first
entered public life in New York In
1902, when he was elected to the AS
sembly from Genesee County. He soon
became prominent in the workings OF
that body, and was appointed chairman
OF the Railroad Commission. He was
stanch in his allegiance to the Re-
publican party, and soon became its
leader in the House. In 1905 he was
candidate for the Speakership.
After four years service as an As
semblyman Mr.. Hooker was elected to
the State Senate. In the Senate he was
appointed chairman Of the Committee
on Internal Affairs.
HI JdHudIy, loOJ, bOFeTHOr huRHeo
appointed him chairman of the State
Highway Commission for term Of six
years. When Governor Dix came into
power this commission was legislated
out of Office by bill which appointed
to the Highway Board the State En-
gineer, the Superintendent Of State
Highways and the Superintendent Of
Public Works. Governor Dix alleged
that Mr.. Hooker's commission had been
extravagant in the expenditure Of pub
lie funds To this, the deposed chair
man of the commission returned a fiat
denial and backed up his contradiction
with statistics which showed that his
administration had been most econom-
ical
With his retirement from the High
way Commission Mr.. Hooker withdrew
from public life. His home up to the
time of his death was in lie Roy.
Throughout his whole public career
he had the reputation Of being a loyal
party man. but one whose allegiance
was not so blind that he could not see
both sides of a question. He was an
earnest worker, entirely fearless in his
support Of his convictions, of uncom-
promising honesty, and with store Of
hard common sense.
