ABOLISH THE
OFFICE Of
COUNTY AGENT
lSSlONERS SAY AS A RULE
THE PEOPLE DO NOT THINK
THE BENEFIT WARRANTED Ex.
PENSE INVOLVED.

This morning the board of county
commissioners, by their action in not
approving the levy of six hundred
dollars for the purpose Of paying part
of the salary of the county demon
stration agent, abolished that office,
and r. L. Scott, agent in charge for
the past two years, will be out after
the first day of July.
The board gave as their reason
for this action that the people of the
county, as a rule, do not think the
benefit derived from the work of
county agent justified the amount ex-
pended and refused to make the levy
on these grounds. The commissioners
state that this year there is going
to be a campaign of retrenchment
in every department of the county
and every dollar avail.
able will be used TO build permanent
roads in the county.

STORMS DAMAGE WHEAT.
Estimated oklahoma Crop Will Be
Cut Fully 20 Per Cent.

oklahoma City June 2S.-Continued
rains in many sections of the okla
homa wheat belt have caused much
damage to the unharyested crop. In
some communities to the northward
of here, the fields have been so wet
that binders comd not ne taken on
them, and farmers have rugged their
binders on runners and operate them
with small gasoline motors, thus man
aging to get across the soft soil.
While no estimate of the damage so
far done by rains and wind has been
made or can be made until later, the
crop will probably be shortened any
where from 10 to 20 per cent by this
loss.

Russians Admit Retirement.

London, June 29.-Berlin reports the
fall of the Galician town of Halicz and
says that the Austro-Germans have
crossed the Dniester river, which
means that the five days desperate
rear guard action by the Russians has
ended in their retirement. However,
the stubborn resistance of this flank
of the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas,
commander in chief of the Russian ar
my, has undoubtedly enabled him to
reform his lines along the river Bug,
virtually without interference.
The river San now takes the place
of the Dniester as the scene of a san
culinary battle in the Russian effort
to prevent the investment of Warsaw.
Petrograd admits the retirement of
the Russians to the river Gnila Lipa,
eighty miles from the frontier, which
joins the Dniester at Halicz, but mill
tary experts do not expect heavy fight
ing along that river. They believe the
next serious battle probably will oc-
cur along the Zlota Lipa, which runs
parallel to the Gnila Lipa further east,
ward, where the Russians would bene-
fit by the railroad with which the Tar
nopol line connects. These operations
and plans, according to military men
confirm the theory that the Dniester
forces were merely covering for the
northern army.
So far as can be learned, the Teu-
tonic allies are not transferring any
of their eastern forces to the western !
zone, but are devoting all their men /
and strength to the Galician campaign ]

TURN DOWN
COUNTY FAIR
PROPOSITION
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RE-
FUSE TO AUTHORIZE THE LEVY
THIS MORNING - "PEOPlE DO
NOT WANT IT."

After a thorough investigation and
careful consideration, the county COM
missioners turned down the county
fair proposition, as presented to them
by the Chamber of Commerce and
the county demonstration agent, r. l..
Scott, this morning. They state that
in doing so they felt they were act
ing in behalf of the best interests OF
a majority of the taxpayers of the
county, for several reasons.
First, owing to the recent rains.
the roads OF this county are almost
impossible, and in many instances
the farmers Of the county have to go
miles out of their way to reach the
county seat, and, from an agricultural
standpoint, the commissioners state
we have practically nothing in the
county fit to exhibit at a fair. The
oat and cotton crop has been badly
damaged, and the hail, in many in
stances, has absolutely ruined the
crops in many sections of the county.
Another reason advanced by the
commissioners was that, to place one
fourth of a mill upon tho taxpayers
of the county, while they are now
in a depressed condition, and then
ask the citizens of Ardmore for a
public donation of $500 or more.
for the purpose of erecting all neces-
sary buildings to maintain the fair,
would be an injustice to them at
this time.
For these reasons the commission
ers believed that the fair would be
a failure
The commissioners stated this
that the interest manifested
by the taxpayers in the various town
ships was small, AMI that it took a
second effort upon the part of the
demonstration agent to get five of
the seven townships lined up and
organized.
From this small showing. and the
reasons above stated. the commission
ers say they based their action of
his morning in turning down the
county fair proposition.

The first journey by land to explore
