County in the State.
pEN,soNr MEETING ON NOV. aE
A Good Speaker From Ames Will Be
In endance-Farmers Are
REQUESTED to Attend

| In the recent food legislation passed

Emade providing for a special food

Injecting the requirements. The salary
of these agents is paid out of the
funds provided for in the federal ap-
preparation. -s'n
Before the appropriation is avail

that "spruce," a variant Of 'pruce,"

"spruce" rather than ''pruce" being es-
