CHANCE TO CREATE
new COUNTY JOB

c. A. Norcross, director of agricul-
tural extension of the University of
Neaada, has addressed the following
letter lelative to the appointment of
county agricultural agent, to the
county commissioners:
/ Under the operations of the
Smith-Lever act it is provided that a
county agricultural agent may be es-
tablshed in any county complying
with certain requirements, namely.
that such county shall provide for
one-half the salary and expenses Of
such county agent.

"All other states are taking ad-
vantage of the county agent plan
with satisfying results in rural i'm
provement and community upbuild-
ing. The estimated cost of compe-
tent county agent is about 1000 per
year salary and $1,000 per year ex-

sum, or $1,000, must be provided by
the counties cooperating.
while in Clark and Lincoln coun-
ties recently l took up the PROPOSE
ton of an agricultural agent for
southern Nevada and found appar-
emily strong sentiment in favor Of
it among the people that had an Op-
portunity to talk with. My own OBJ
servation of the SOIL crop, livestock
and marketing problems in such two
counties os convincing that the SER
vices of competent county agent
will be of great advantage-in fact
the best investment along the lines of
county development that is possible
to make. This is section of remark
able possibilities, the progressive
working out of which would be very
much fastened under competent
technical leadership.
For the present | suggest that
Clark and Lincoln counties Cooper
ate by having one agent for the two
counties. Subsequently, in the event
that each county prfers it's own coun-
ty agent, division can be made.
my suggestion is that for the fis-
cal year beginning, July /, 1915
that Clark county provide $500 of
the salary and expenses of such coun-
ty agent, and that for the first half
of such fiscal year July LIST to Dec
ember 81, 1870 that the board of
control of the state experiment farm
at Logan provide $3.50 of the same.
The remaining $3.50 can be arranged
for when the legislature meets, prob.

Hapgood of Peru Speaks Out.

There is such widespread misap-
prehension in regard to the change
| which the proposed statewide prohibi-
ton would produce in the towns which
now vote against license. if adopted,
that | cannot refrain from attempting,
at least, to cause the true facts to be
known.
Statewide prohibition would pro-
duce no practical change whatever
in the towns which now vote against
license. There would be no license
and the same laws and machinery for
it's enforcement as now exist. Its
main, well-nign only, object is to
abolish the chaGce for the about one in
twenty towns which now vote license,
quite all with a very close majority,
from continuing to do so. The support
for license is now so extremely weak
that it is not considered advisable to
allow it to longer stir up every year
this extremely dIsagreeab]e matter,
when there are SO many other matters
of high Importance which need our
attention.
1t has come to be considered
that the power of single town
able to reach out and equally, affect
with its degrading influence all of the
contiguous towns, no matter how
strongly they may oppose license.
If the license places would confine
their sales to their own people so far
as state residents are concerned, or
even. attempt to, the outside places
would not SO strongly oppose them,
and if securing it as rule, obtained
for those who support it from the
belief that license brings in trade in a
general way from the surrounding
towns which oppose it, an influence
which they hardly dare to openly
however.
When we consider that three
quarters of the crime, poverty,
misery. ignorance and degradation
of the land is caused by the use
Of intoxicants. those who have the
public welfare at heart can make only
one stand, and that is to oppose its use
to the utmost even though its use for
sickness should be curtailed.
Open. gaudy saloons, however we'll
guarded, are a temptation to our boys
which we should on no account permit,
The hard cider argument againstPerry
law has no foundation whatever, since
it in no way Weakens the present law
against its use.
Montpelier last year under IL
cense had an exhibit of stagger-
ing drunkards in her streets which |
never saw elsewhere Yet she voted
license because if she had not. some
little town adjoining would again
vote license in order to attract expedi-
tons which would make viler use of
the fluid than though obtained at home.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
ShouldRoadC ommissionersb eAppointed?

ShouldRoad Commissionersb disappointed?
For several years past there has
appeared annually in the warning foJ
town meeting an article reading like
this: "To see if the town will vote to
instruct the seIectmen to appoint one
or two road commissioners instead OF
electing them by ballot In every
instance this article in the warning
has been dismissed. 1t has seemed to
us for some time that a change in the
method of caring for the roads of our
town would not be amiss and that
instead of eIecting a road commissioner
that better results could be obi aimed
if they were appointed by the select
men, and dismissed by them also in
case they failed to do the work in
proper manner. The town of Man
chester has not as good roads ss it
should have and we are inclined to the
belief that they could be made better
with a change in the manner of choos
ing road commissioner. When a
road commissioner has been elected he
is practically responsible to no one for
what he does. SO long as he keeps
within his appropriation. The salary
attached to this office is insufficient il
would seem to warrant any undue
succeeding meeting of freemen the
election Of the road commissioner is
the greatest eXerciser of the public
mind Manchester, of all places in the
county, should have the finest of roads
but we are free to confess that some
of the highways in our town are about
the worst specimens that we have run
across A change might not remedy
this but il certainly is well wos tn the
trying for year at any rate--Ma an

How Vermont Hens Won, the

All loyal Vermonters have noted
with considerable pride the high place
which Vermont poultry breeders
have always taken when their fowls
compete with those of other States.
Q. A. Champion, Jr. of st. Adams, VT

international Laying Contest last
year in letter to O.. S. Page of Hyde
Park gives suggestion as to how he
did it. He writes:-ssf feed Pages

Poultrymen desiring to emulate the
example of Mr.. Cramptonswill do, well

Vermont prior to 1903, but few champ
ions of real temperance would vote for
the change. The present local option
law is a great improvement over the
old prohibitory law with it's town
agency, two per cent beer and pool
room dives The proposition, however,
is not to ssreturn to the old law,
but to continue the present law
minus the local option principle.
The penalties for violation are to be
the present penalties, not the $40
fine assessed enthusiastically under
the former prohibitory law. The
saloon is such a curse that we are
willing to take chance on the rev
law. hoping that it will prove step
toward wlping out by federal legisla-
ton the saloon and the manufacture of
intoxj eating liquors for beverage -

The Monitor notices that some of the
counties have organize! to get out the
prohibition vote on March meeting
day. This is good idea. Why don't
we do it here in Orleans county. 1t is
a sad commentary on the voter when
he has to be prodded out and perhaps
Iugged to the polls to cast the ballot
he has been given, with which to pro-
tect himself, his family, and his prop
erty. Nevertheless this thing has to
be done and it may as we'll be done in
a good cause as in the cause of some
office-seeker. Every stay at = home
ought to be branded in conspicuous
place that the public may know that
