In view of the recent disclosures OF
the activities of German spies in Ar

Of persons of standing that they have
seen Capt. Franz Won Papen in Buenos
Aires, much interest has been aroused
by an article in Ell Diario of Buenos
Aires regarding the activities of the
man who fills the role of commissary
general or major domo in the German
spying organization in the Argentine
Republic He is q man of smooth,
smiling and genial personality.
Ten years ago, according to FL Di-

was something in his attitude that

Johnson Grange

October 18th the Grange held open
house for all those interested in the local
farm bureau to come and get acquainted
with Mr.. Root, the new county agent,
and learn of the bureaus plans for the
coming year. Apparently there are very
few of our people who have as yet any
idea or appreciation of the value of this
institution for the betterment of our con-
ditions for the turnout was discouraging-
ly small. In this age of organization,
where progress depends SO much on the
| pooling of interests and cooperative eff
| fort, it would seem that the farmers, the
least organized and hence the most easily
| exploited of all classes, would snatch
eagerly at any opportunity offered that
would deliver them from the tolls of the
middleman and speculator. Not so, how
ever, they would appear to prefer to
hang separately, rather than together.
The evenings program was worthy of
much better hearing for in addition to
Mr.. Roots most interesting talk there
was a paper by Mrs. P. S. French on
Labor Saving Devices in the Home', an
other by Mrs. Thomas Waterman on
''Short Cuts in Housework' "a talk byMrs.
W. +. Waters on "Best Methods of House
Cleaning, and last but not least paper
by W. f. Waters on "How Would Keep
House If I was Woman" The last was
especially rich in wit and wisdom and it
is to be regretted that there were not
more ladies present to hear and profit by
it.
The program arranged for the Nov.
meeting has been given up and another
substituted. 1t will consist of discus
sion of "The Value of Town Exhibits"
led by Rev. F. W. Hazen, talk on "Soy
Beans" by Prof. Wiley, and talk on
"Corn Crops and Their Importance" by
Prof. G. A. Stevenson. Some special
