AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
BY T. N. Carver.

Professor OF Economics, Harvard University.
Every city has its chamber of com
merce or its Board of Trade. The
purpose Of such an organization 10
to study economic and business OPP
portunities of the city and promote
enterprises which will help to build
the city. Does any one know of =
good and sufficient reason why ev-
cry rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have such
organizations They are generally
called the "iandwirthschaftsrath' or
agricultural council. Some students
of the problem OF rural organization
are strongly of the opinion hat such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
tering OF rural credit or the market
ing of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having more
capital in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess.work Just how to use that CAPT
tai so as to increase the production
and the profit Of their farms. II all
the leading farmers Of a neighbor'
hood would lay their heads together
and talk wei the situation and stuGy
the opportunities for new investment
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than II they work secretly,
a. separate individuals.

the only representative from Grenada

one more thoroughly in sympathy with
all that pertains to the Confederate
soldier. Miss Roane will go from Rich
mond to Washington and to other
points of interest in the East.

OSSES ON BOTH SIDES HEAVY

A Russian official statement from
Petrograd claims continued and sue
cessful resistance to the efforts Of the
German armies to cut off Warsaw.
There has been severe fighting and
very heavy losses on both sides. The
Germans in Poland have been rein
forced with troops brought from
France.
This report refers to the enormous
efforts" of the Germans to dislodge
the Russians from their positions on
the Narew river north of Warsaw On
the PISA and Skwa rivers, further to
the northwest, the Russians have been
attacked by the entire German
army" reinforced with men brought
from France. The Germans, however,
met defeat in this sector. The battle
for the crossing of the Narew near
Novogord has not yet even begun.
This official statement then relates
a Russian success near the mouth of
the Skwa. The Germans brought UP
further reinforcement but all their
efforts to make progress in this sec
ton failed. They are at present en-
deavoring to break through northeast
of Ostrolenka.

TO PUT FOUNTAIN
At PLAZA WALK
Commissioner Bowman to Provide
Pure, Filtered Water For
Thirsty Thousands

City Commissioner Bowman, who is
responsible for the beautiful plaza in
the rear OF the pumping station at
North street, is going to provide
rough river stone fountain convenient
to the walk so that the thousands of
people who pass UP and down the river
front may get cool drink of pure
filtered water.
Mr.. Bowman would also like to pro-
vide public comfort station on the
north side of the enginehouse which
would be concealed by shrubbery, but
he cannot do so without special legis-
lation. He feels, however that such a
station Is greatly needed and must be
provided In some way inasmuch as the
facilities at the pumping station are
not adequate for public uses.
The filing of the space behind the
plaza wall will be completed this week
and the continuation of the walk along
the top of the slope along the wall
will then be started. Meanwhile plans
for the planting are about completed
and this will go forward without delav
so that everything will be in good
shape for the September celebration.
