The County Agent And
 Profitable Agriculture.

The country agent is a part of a great agricultural movement. This movement has for it's ulti- mate purpose the building up of a country life that shall be wholesome, attractive, cultured, efficient, and profitable. There are many sections of our country to-day that have one or more of these conditions, but the sections where all are found in happy unison are comparatively few. The desire of those who are thinking on rural problems is that rural communities every where shall be wholesome, at- tractive. and cultured, and that each individual shall receive a fair reward for the labor done and the capital invested. The county agent has one dominant part in this program. While he may other parts. his primary function is to help make agricul- ture efficient and profitable. In proportion as agriculture is made profitable will the community become attractive, cultured, and place wholesome and desirable to live in.
 Just what is meant by profit able agriculture? Simply this: There shall be a reasonable re- turn on the capital invested in farming and a reasonable return for the farmers labor and mana gerical ability. A farmer, like any other man in any other busi- ness, is entitled to just what he earns and no more; but what he earns should be sufficient to give him and his family some of the essential convenienceS of modern life. time for study, some recrea- tion, and opportunity for educa- ton for his children. With some money in his pocket the farmer will support the church, place conveniences in his house, maga- zines and literature on the sit ting-room table, and send his children to the best schools with very little outside prompting.

Musical Recital

The large audience that assem- bled at the Methodist church Thursday evening were given a genuine treat in the recital given by Misses Sula Kate Benson and Grace Ford. The manner in which Miss Benson presides at the pipe organ shows that she is endowed by nature with a musi- cal talent that she has not buried, but is winning for her great fay- or every day. Her splendid se- lections. that were most difficult were played with the greatest ease, and wins her hearers with her genius.
 Miss Ford has a high soprano voice of unusual sweetness, me lody and charm. Her selections were tremendously hard and rendered in a graceful manner that will truly gain distinction for her. The repertoire of these young ladies will win the un- qualified approval of cultured audiences any where.

cror Without a credit system lose % per cent oi their usefulness. The problem is a gigantic one-too great for the farmer to solve unaided. He must have the assistance of the bank CT, the merchant and the govern ment.
 In production we have reached the high water mark of perfection in the worlds history. but our marketing methods are most primitive. In the dawn of his tory we find agriculture blowing with a iorked stick but with a system of warehouses under gov ernmental supervision that made the Egyptians the marvel of civ ilization, for who has not ad- mired the vision cf Joseph and applauded the wisdom of Pharoah for storing the surplus until de- manded by the consumer, but in this age we have too many b. sephs who dream and not enough Pharoahs who build.

Monday morning our school opened up by Mrs. .J.W. Johnson. our teacher, who prepared a nice Christmas tree for the pupils, loaded to the limit with candies, popcorn. and peanuts. All had an enjoyable time and your report CT had the pleasure of masticat ing some of the delicious fruits.
 The Liberty Christmas tree was grand success considering the bad weather. A nice pro- gram was prepared for the open- ing exercises of the Christmas tree and everybody seemed to be enjoyed over the gifts that were distributed and everybody came home through the rain happy.
 A crowd of young folks were the guests of Mir. and Mrs. Uen Burns Christmas evening and that euphonious sound of music put a tickling in the feet and they had a few pleasant house two-stepping.
 MT. John Graves arrived home from Oklahoma Dec. 24th, but failed to bring his better half on account of sickness.
