The copper era and Morenci leader., 1915-09-10


 Undoubtedly it will be the last great reunion of Civil war veterans, and as such every effort is being made by officers of the G. A. R., the citizens committee of Washington, jthe President of the United States and high officials of the war and navy department to make it an event which will live in memory until the last veteran responds to the final summons.
 Fifty years ago the proud veterans Iof Grant and Sherman's mighty arm iies- marched in review before Presi- dent Johnson. On. September 29 those of that vast region who still live will commemorate the event and pay hon. age to their absent comrades by pass- ing for the last time before the na- tionis chief.
 As t,ae thin lines which now repre- sent the solid ranks of '65 start on their last pilgrimage through historic Pennslyyania avenue at their head will bo Col. George A. Bosley. It will be proud moment for him, for he will know that of all heroes of the nations history, to him belongs a dis tinction never before enjoyed by any American soldier.
 When the first Grand Review passed before the presidential stand the Twenty-fifth Iowa regiment of Sher- mans army led the victorious hosts, and at their head rode Lieutenant Colonel Bosley. Since that time many have ceased to answer here" to the roll call, but Colonel Bosley will en- joy the honor of being the first and last to lead his comrades before the commander-in-chief of the nations army and navy.
 Since 1866 forty-six men have en- joyed the honor of being selected as the highest officer of the Grand Army, but of that number all but seventeen have passed the last muster. William Warner of Kansas City, Mo-, is the dean of the past living commanders, having occupied that office in 1888.
 Forty thousand men will march through Pennsylvania avenue between the United States Capitol and the White House, September 29, and thus commemorate the Fiftieth anniver- sary of the Grand Review of the veter- ans of the Civil War after their tri- umphant return from the war.
 In the reviewing stands along the line of march will be many of the foremost men of the nation, great throngs will crowd the sidewalks for a glimpse of the boys of '61, cheers will ring forth, the stars and stripes will flutter in the breeze, the strains

Delegations from every part of the South are expected to attend the encar:pment and when camp fires glow all but forgotten in cidents the war half century ago will be told by men once foes in the death grapple, but who are now all Americans.

On the twenty-third of May, 1918,
a big tent-meeting was held in Mex
leo and the Audrain County Farm
Bureau was organized. Before this
ginning.
meeting closed a subscription was
taken and a sum of between $500 and
5000 was subscribed yearly for three
years. This amount was later raised
to a little over $1,000, which was a
little more than half as much as
needed.
This bit of history is given in this
report because of the very important
bearing which it has had upon the
work at all times. The fact that the
County Court didnot see fit to support
the movement with county evenue
made the financial responsibility fall
on the shoulders of a few. Many who
would have shown an interest in the
work had as a whole been paying the
bills, were disposed to feel that unless
they paid out 5, 10 or more dollars a
year toward the movement they
should not call upon the Farm Ad-
wiser in any way. Many people have
expressed themselves as being in
favor of the movement if supported
by the County because the average
cost would be only a few cents per
farm.
1t has therefore been necessary to
wage a continuous campaign for
funds and to keep down expenses on
all sides. This has hampered the
work along some lines, especially
along the lines that we're educational
and that would give publicity to the
work.
In spite of these and a few other
limiting factors the work has gone
on and is right now at a point where
| regret very much to see it discon-
tinued. People in general are coming
to understand the purpose of the pro-
iect and in a measure the benefits to
be derived are being realized. Pre-
JUDGE has been overcome in almost
every case where the one with such
prejudice has got acquainted in one
way or another with facts rather than
suspicious. 1t is the unanimous tes-
timony of those acquainted with the
work that the sentiment of the people
has changed in a very marked degree
in favor of the movement. This
changed sentiment is still increasing.
Following are a few facts and fig
ures regarding some of the work that
has been done during the two years
that have been at work in the
try:
Number of farm visits made 800
Number of business calls on

The Farm Adviser work in Audrain
County was inaugurated by the Mex
leo Commercial Club with very little
support from the farmers of the
county. In the very outset, which
was in the month of March. 1913, the
Commercial Club decided to call a
meeting of farmers to discuss the
proposition of hiring a farm adviser.
The method followed in carrying out
this plan was to notify the clerk of
each rural district, asking that a
meeting of the people of the district
be called for the purpose of electing
a representative to the meeting to be
held in Mexico under the auspices of
the Commercial Club. The result was
that meetings were called in perhaps
a little more than one half of the
school district. 1t is safe to say that
the majority of men elected from
these various districts who were in
structed at all, were instructed to
vote mo" when they got into the
meeting at Mexico. This was just
what should be expected since the
people generally did not understand
at all what the Farm Adviser move
ment was. 1t is also a fact that
whenever new projects are mentioned
in a community the DIRECTORS are the
mes who make the most noise.
The meeting was held and the
County Court was invited in to get
the feeling of the people of the county
regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of the
Court appropriating a small amount
of county funds TO further this new
project OF urs the majority of
the few representatives spoke out
against the movement. However, a
few went so far as to say that if the
people of their district had under
stood the purpose and aims of the
movement, they would not have in
structed them to vote mo.
The County Court was there as one
man, and decided that if they were ex-
pected to appropriate county money
on the strength of the majority there
would be no such appropriations in
this case. In fact they have held to
this stand very consistently for the
two years which have passed since
that decisive meeting. The position
of the Court has been that their hands
were tied at that meeting which was
to AVE been a representative meet
ing of the farmers of Audrain Coun !
ty. Until this spell has been broken
by a petition bearing the names of the
majority of tax payers, asking the
Court to appropriate county money,
the present Court at least will not
make any such Appropriation.
The staunch hackers of the Farm
movement would not be dis
heartened but went ahead thinking
that the County Court would surely
in their attitude and eventual
" put the project on a firm financial
The Commercial Club therefore
negotiated with the University for a
Farm Adviser. The Club agreed TO
guarantee the County's share of the
