COUNTY AGENTS COUNT

The right sort of county agent is
what his title implies--the trusted
agent, friend, and counselor Of the
farmers with whom he works. He is
not an outsider with qualities of ad-
vice, but a sympathetic helper of his
own people, learning by doing.
Folks in some shiftless communities
are said to exist by taking in one
another's washing; thrifty communi-
ties, with county agent leader, be-
come more thrifty by going to school
to each other and learning the best
methods of all.
The demonstration fostered by an
able county agent lead to community
ideals, community spirit, and commun-
ity teamwork.
Home sanitation, home water sup
ply, sewage disposal, abatement of the
fly nuisance, vegetable gardening,
homecanning,i improvement of the home
grounds, betterment of cooking and
sewing and food conservation are ali
parts of the work which women home
demonstration agents can help do.
The country church, supported by a
few families, has been known to grow
and prosper under the influence of the
community spirit generated through
an active, earnest county agent.

They are entitled to the best-food

may be ended quickly and they may

A preacher who was q crank on doc
tfine weaFied his congregation by con-
slant haRping on baptism. A brother
that lonssd for . rest handed him .
taxi he thought safe. 1.-The way of the
trznsgressor is hard"
Friend" said the preacher. "thsre
are three things suggested by this
scripture: First. the transgressor.
Second. his conversation. Third. his
baptism. We will pass over the first
two and come at once to the third"
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given, but
suppose we pass them all by and come
at once to the one vital reason:
1t it the right thing to do?
For after all the Fundamental
questio in every transaction is whcth-
er it is right or wrong. Not, will l
save money. but. is it just? Not. is it
more convenient, hut. is it fair! Not.
whether it is good business, but,
whether it is good morals!
For you and know, and all the
world is coming to knew, that not one
dollar is ever saved or made by unfair
means that does not curse the possess
or. And q man may be as dishonest
in saving money Is getting it.
It is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send it
away because we are under obligations
to the home town, but not to the mail
order houses.
Financial ObliGa ions.
In the first place the countr! is un
der financial obligation to the town.
OF course the town is also indebted to
the country, but the town cannot help
but pay its debt. it's very existence
does that. Hence we are merely dis
cussing the country side of the obliga-
tion.
Find two hundred acres of good land
almost anywhere that is twenty miles
from town and you can buy it for
twenty-five dollars an acre. The
same land within ten miles will bring
thirty-five dollars, within five miles
its value is sixty dollars, within two
miles eighty-f an acre.
Thus that town has increased the
land within a radius of ten miles an
average of thirty-five dollars an acre
AS that is about the age of country
towns generally. you may figure tina.
a town, as long as it is fairly prosper
Gus, increases the land around it an
average of one dollar an acre every
year.
Not considering staple articles like
cattle, hogs and grain which can be
shipped and sold anyway, the town as
a local market is worth at least severn
ty-five dollers year to the ordinary
farmer.
For example: This year the peach
markets were so glutted no ordinary
fruit would pay the express. Around
the little town in which the writer
lives most farmers have few peach
trees. The four thousand inhabitants
bought nearly every bushel in thn
vicinity at from forty cents to dollar
\ bushel. More than four thousand
dollars was paid for peaches within
three weeks.

have a big program mapped out for
the future by which they can be of
some assistance in the present strug-
gle.
One of the important topics of to-
nights session will be the opening of
a campaign for fund to support the
Sokol Union volunteers who are Ieav-
ing daily for Europe from America to
