Farm Demonstration Continues.

The board of county commissioners
have been somewhat unified" for
time at the Putnam county farm DEM
onstrator, Mr.. Cantrell. The thing
dates back to the spring campaign.
Then it was that Mr.. Cantrell in a
published letter to the papers advo-
Gated better stock and to secure which
he advocated keeping stock in enclo-
sures. Well, it was campaign time,
and in his innocence Of politics, but
with a desire only to serve the peo-
pie, Mr.. Cantrell little thought what
effect his words would have upon the
commissioners who were up for re-
election. They said the people, the
stock owners, would charge that they
were employing a man to advocate
the one particular thing to which the
cattle men were hostile--a "No Fence
Law.
But the eelction is over and Mr..
Cantrell will keep his job. The mat
ter came up at the meeting of the
board on Monday when a huge petit
ton was presented asking for the re-
tention of Mr.. Cantrell. There were
also present in person such distin-
guished citizens as Hon. Bill Thigh
man, r. r. Brakeman, Hon. H. S. Nc
Kenzie, Z. l.. Mann, E. W. Elliott,
and Prof. Spencer of the University
who advocated Mr.. Cantrell's reten-
ton. The U. S. government pays
5000 of Mr.. Cantrell's salary, the bal
ance being made up by the county.
Finally a motion was made by Mr..
Waldron and seconded by Mr.. Han
cock that the farm demonstrator be
engaged for another year. This car
red with only one negative vote, that
of Mr.. Perry.
The News is glad to say that it
believes the board has done the wise
thing. Mr.. Cantrell has not been in
the county long enough to show such
results as are bound to follow his in
telligent work for better, more pro
iitable farming. He has done much,
but before the coming year is up he
will have demonstrated his usefulness
to such q degree that even the coun-
tv commissioners will be ashamed
that they ever, even for political ef-
feet, showed opposition to him. lie

county, and if they want advice at
any time all they have to do is send

Sceed of Bullets.

The rate of fall Of the bullet from
the line of proje tion is fixed by the
laws of gravity. hence the more rap
