AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.
 AT EMMET TODAY
Meetings At Prescott will Close Fifth Week-Thirteen COun- ties Have Already Secured the Farmers Meetings.

The first of the seven days sessions of the agricultural schools to be held in Nevada County was begun this morning at Emmet. The instructors from the state university and U. S. iDepartment of Agriculture arrived there this morning from Hope, Hemp stead county, where they had been this week.
 Miss Marcela Arthur of the depart ment of Home Economies, Arkansas University, arrived in Prescott yes terday and went to Emmet this morn- ing where she delivered an address. The ladies especially are expected to take an interest in the lectures of Miss Arthur. Miss Arthur taught two years in our High School and has been in Arkansas for more than four years. During that time she has been close student of rural life as it per tains to the farm home, and she is, perhaps, one of the best known wom- en workers in Arkansas. Her tasks are confined exclusively to activities among women and girls, and she in- vltes the cooperation of every wo- man in Arkansas who would assist Tn the work of ameliorating the condi- tions of many Arkansas farm women. She is a practical worker as well as talker. but she would rather do things and get results than to talk, and for that reason she is much in demand among farm and club women.
