Pleasing Affair
Pipe Organ Recital at st. Law.
renee Churcn


The musical recital at St. Law
renee Catholic church Friday
evening, in recognition of the in
stalling of the new pipe organ,
was one of the finest musical
events of the season. The solos
and duets by the Misses Scallon
were a delight to all, and fine
treat to lovers of vocal music, and
Prof. Ackerson, the pipe organ
ist in his skillful work brought
out the wide range of pleasing
music which pipe organ is
capable of producing under the
hand of an artist. The several
selections by the church choir
and individual members were of
a most pleasing character and in
dicated that we have some fine
local musical talent when it is
brought out. Miss Margaret
Port and Emery J. Carrier rem
dered vocal selections and Miss
Helen Wilson a whistling solo
The tine acostic properties Of the
church were tested in this con
cert and proved that they were
excellent. In fact the Catholic
people of Milbank are justly en-
titled to feel proud of the fine
church which they have erected,
and although not yet completely
finished, there are few communi-
ties of the size of Milbank that
can boast of anything as fine.

Agricultural Extension

Agricultural Extension
Senator Amsden Defines the Law ana
How the System Is Put In
Operation
The first step necessary to be
taken is the forming of a county
organization to be known as the
County Agricultural Extension
Association" which association
must consist of fifty or more free
holders and come from not less
than one third of the townships
OF the county. The fee for be-
coming member of the associa-
ton is $500 This association
then perfects its organization by
the election of an executive com.
mittee and regular officers as in
other associations, and then files
articles of incorporation with the
secretary Of state. Which as
sociation hen becomes h e
working body, which has under
It supervision of the agricultur-
al extension work of the county
and the employment of the coun-
ty agent.
This association has three ways
Of securing the funds for carry.
ing on this work in the county.
1st. 1t may apply to the coun-
ty commissioners of the county
for an appropriation Of an amount
not exceeding 500 per civil
township.
End. If the county commits
sioners fail to make the appro-
priation it can by petition sub
NIT the question of the appropri-
alton to the electorate Of t h g
county for their approval.
3rd. Or it can raise the money
by individual subscription, and
for the amount that 10 raised in
the county, it receives from the
state from the appropriation
made by the state and the
amount available by the Smith
Lever appropriation. Sixty per
cent Of the amount raised in the
county, for example if the county
raises $1,000 it will receive 5000
from the state and would have
then available $1,000 for this
work
BY the provisions of the law,
any county that does not avail it.
self Of it provisions by securing
a county agent through it's local
appropriation, has the benefit of
a county institute to be conduct
ed by the county agents Of the
counties maintaining such under
the supervision of the state COL
lege Of agriculture.
Already quite a number of
counties have availed themselves
of the provisions of this law,
while a few have been maintain
ing county agent for several
years by private subscriptions,
notably Brown county, and they
speak in the highest terms of its
work, and benefits to the agrl-
cultural interests of the county.
Space will not permit me to GO
fully into detail, but have given
you some of the details of the law,
and would be pleased to answer
any questions that you may ask.

The much discussed question of
whether the people of the United
States particularly the business men
of the country. do or do not want Con-
gress to pass the ship purchase bill.
over which the Senate is now flibus-
tering, will be answered in Washing
ton this week
Taking it for granted that the bill
Is proposed in the interests of the busi-
ness men of the country, and that they
represent sentiment in all quarters,
both for and against the measure, it is
said that a fair test of the attitude of
the people toward the bill will be fur
nished at the convention of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States.
which is to begin at the New Willard
Hotel tomorrow morning.
Delegates to the convention from every
etate in the Union, 619 in number. are to
vote before the convention adjourns Fri
day resolutions for and against the
bill, after full and frank discussion OF
Its merits and demerits.
This information was obtained today
by d reporter for The Star at the national
headquarters of the chamber in the Riggs
Building. following a meeting there of the
directors of the organization, composed of
the leading business men of the United
States.
Following today's meeting of the di-
