County Agents Increase Bank
Accounts One HUNDRED
Per Cent.

Since Hampstead County has had an
agricultural agent the saving accounts
of the local banks have increased more
than 100 per cent however, this is only
one of the reasons why believe in the
county agricultural agent and what
he means to our people, said Chas. Il.
Foster, cashier of the Hampstead
County Bank, in recent interview.
Through the county demonstration
work by which the farmer is being
shown the value OF rotation, diversified
farming is gaining more permanent
foothold in the state daily. TO realize
what diversified farming means to Ar

increased thirty millions of dollars be

when the last report was made. Mer-
chants and bankers must urge the
farmers to continue to follow safe
and sane farm practice regardless of
the price of cotton Business men
everywhere should consider the county
agents salary an investment, giving
returns which cannot be estimated.

BRIDGEPORT STENCnES
Why Does the Chicago Health
Department Overlook "Inhuen-
tial" Soap and Rendering
Works on the South Side That
Are Said to Create Stinks?

The Chicago Eagle is In receipt OF
complaints from south side people
about the awful smell said to come
from some alleged soap factories and
rendering works in Bridgeport, whose
influence is said to be so great with
the health and sanitary departments
that they can stink as much as they
please.
Property owners complain that
these stenches pollute the air, lower
property values and, what Is Of more
consequence, endanger health.
Are not the lives of people In
Bridgeport and vicinity worthy OF Of.
fetal notice?
Summer is here and the breezes
watt these smells to all parts Of the
city.
Making this kind of perfumery is
unlawful. Why is the law not en-.
forced?
The time was when Chicago stood
for the Bridgeport zephyrs with pa
lient suffering.
That time is past and reckoning
awaits the officials Who tolerate such
nuisance now at the hands of out
ragged public opinion and injured pub
lie nostrils.

A large part Of the fierce fighting

The practical politician knows what
