Washington, Feb. /. Presi-
dent Wilson today selected Louis
D. Brandeis, Of Boston, as the
new Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. The nomination
was sent to the Senate today.
There is surprise everywhere in

been much in the public life dur
ing the last three years, not only
in legal work, but in the various
movements for social betterment
He is sixty years old, was born
and educated in Louisville, and
later entered Harvard. In 1918
ne began practiclng law in Bos-
ton. He came most notably be-
fore the public six years ago
through participation in the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation of
Congress in which he was coun-
sci for the forces who opposed
Secretary Ballinger. He partic-
ipated in other notable cases,
and has been in the fore front OF
many important movements, such
as the Zionist movement in the
United States. He is the first
Jew to sit on the Ibench of the

A Word to Our Farmers.

Everyone will admit that our
County Agent, Mr.. Bird was a
great help to..a the Crittenden
county farmers last year. He
can do more this year becausehe
has become acquainted with our
people, our farms and the needs
of the farms and individual far
mers.
We cannot afford to not employ
Mr.. Bird for another year. He
is on the field and at our service,
but | learn that the subscription
for his salary has not been COM
pleted. As Mr.. Bird will be in
Lexington for the next ten days
attending a farmers meeting,
why not get busy and complete
this subscription by the time he
returns, so that his salary may
be assured?
| understand that a subserip-
ton paper has been sent to the
secretary of each farmers club.
Now why can't we finish this
work and report what has been
done, not later than Feb. 18th?
| would suggest to those who
are willing TO contribute not to
wait to be called upon, but to
find someone who has paper
and give him your subscription. :
Yours for better farming,
Jas. Alex Hill.
