tural agent with an expense OF less
than 5000 year. ..

fore congress, and which will prob
ably be passed. the federal govern
ment will give to the university for
the extension department fund suf-
ficint to pay $1,000 for each agricul-
tural agent in the state and that the
state government has offered to pay
one-half of the salary Of each agent.
Salary Would Be Paid.
The salary of county agent for
this county would be about $1,000.
Therefore. with the appropriations
from the state and federal govern
ments, the entire salary Of the agent
would be paid

work with women and girls, and to
pay part or all of her salary from the
appropriation made to Indiana by the
nation.

who urged the trustees to think of the
matter in the light of their patriotic
duty
Following Coleman's offer the trus-
tees held an extended discussion Of the
matter in an executive session with
the sentiment of the board divided as
to what would be the best courst to
follow.
County Superintendent Williams is
urging its adoption.
'The matter" said Williams, "de.
pends on the farmers in other town.
ships in the county. Wayne township
will have little to say. Personally /
am in favor of county agent, and in
view Of the offer made think it is a
splendid proposition"

RUSSIA QUIET,
ROOT EXPLAINS

CHICAGO, Aug S.-Elihu Root, with
other members of the American miss.
ion to Russia which has completed its
work, in Chicago today, said that as a
matter of fact there is scarcely more
disorder in Russia than there is in the
United States Certain disturbances
are envitable in a change Of govern
ment so radical as that of Russia" said
Mr. Root, ''and cable dispatches deal
largely with these disturbances. Hence
the public has gathered an impression
that there is little going on in Russia
except demonstration.
"As a matter of fact if reports on
American affairs disseminated in Rus
sia, concentrated on our little disturb
ances-race riots, the l. w. w. and
the like-Russians would have about
the same picture Of us as we now
have of them"

MINEOLA, Aug. S.-All mystery
about John Longer De Saulles, the
four and a half year old son of Mrs.
De Saulles who shot and instantly
killed her husband when he refused
to give up the child last Friday to
her care was cleared today when he
was found in the care Of G. Maurice

ner
Counsel for Mrs De Saulles was ex-
pected to make an appeal to Mr.. Heck
scher that the mother, who is con-
fined in the county Jail here on a
charge of first degree murder, might
be allowed to see her son. Should
this appeal fail, it was said legal ac-
ton would probably be taken.
Mrs. De Saulles, who was said to
be in a serious condition by three
physicians, who examined her, has
been removed from the cell she oc-
cupied to a room in the sheriff's part
ments of the building after DR.. Gay
F. Cleghorn, the county physician,
had said it was necessary that she
have better care. In a statement re-
garding Mrs. De Saulles' condition
made public today, DR.. Cleghorn said:
"She is thin and wasted and weighs
less than 100 pounds. She will have
to be built up and kept under observa-
ton, but there is no reason why this
should not be done where she it. If
she fails to respond to treatment and
grows worse here, the question of re-
her to a hospital can be taken
up again"

the will Of the German people.
Socialists will oppose the newly con-
stituted government at Berlin on prin-

great gain in the direction Of parlia-

opinion that the presence Of Catholic

It appears that DR.. SPAIN, leader Of

pointment as Prussian minister Of JUS
