COUNTY AGENTS CAN AID

prepared by the United States De-
partment OF Agricultural
In securing farm labor the
county agent is the key man.
These agents, of which there are
now more than $500 represent
ing the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges. are
supported in their respective
counties by large and active
county and farm bureaus or bet
ter-farming associations.
Naturally when a farmer
needs help he calls upon the
county agent, who, through his
close contact with the labor sup
ply Of the towns and cities, is
able to meet the need. Last year
the county agents placed on
farms more than 100000 men.
This year they are giving q
much larger assistance.

n Tow let me see. We left OF IN
mi the last story just when the
fierce looking sea monsters
stopped the carriage in
which little Puss Junior and his
friend. the funny little fish-maid.
were riding deep down In the sea
Puss was dreadfuIly frightened as
these monsters cana around, staring
at him with great sssagsseyes and
opening their dreadful mdhths- But
the little old man stood up and.
bowing politely. told them that P-ass
had never caught a fish with a
cruel hook in all HIS life.
Then these dreadful monsters
snapped their horny jaws and swan
away. So the mackerel-faced coach
man whipped up his team OF gold
and silver fishes and away they
went spinning down the road again
At last the carriage stopped in
front of a fine mansion. and Puss
and the little old man jumped out
on the smooth beach OF sparkling
sand which sloped down to a CLASSY
lake on which curious and beautiful
little boats were sailing in all di-
rections.
Along the edge OF the lake were
many houses, some stately castles
and some little cottages, which re-
minded Puss OF those in dear old
Mother Goose Land. The little cot
tages were covered with creeping
plants and the stately castles with
mosslike vines
But the people. Oh, dear me!
They were the strangest folk Puss
had ever seen Some had very long
noses and ugly looking teeth in
their wide mouths. and others were
so thin they looked like small
sticks, and others so round that
they could almost trundle them
selves along like a coach-wheeL
Some were dressed in the shabbiset
clothes, others in splendid suits,
and some covered with knobs and
spikes and strange looking armor.
Come" said the little fish man,
and he led Puss into his house,
where he introduced him to his wife
and SON Then he brought out

II WILL" said Puss bravely, and
after that the little old hsh-man
called together all his subjects, and
then he handed the box to PusS-
And Puss looked on the cover and
saw printed these words, so he read
them aloud:

So Puss carefully opened the box.
