In order to carry ont the above
purposes the FARM bureau works
through the following organisation
al A representative member
ship made up Il men and women en-
gagged in every ,kase Of agricultural
activity, who a.s generally scattered
over the county each paying a nom
inal membership fee.
a. An executive committee con-
sisting Of a president, vice president,
secretary, Treasurer and five other
persons who are elected annually BY
the membership Of the bureau. The
membership OF this committee Is
usually distributed over the county,
representing different phases Of az
riculmre aud are men who are spe-
cialy qualified to lead some import
ant project OF line Of work Of the
bureau.
(3D A community committee con-
sishng Of a chairman and from two
Ito four members in each distinct com
Inuniiy in the county. Should Luna

be a community committee at Dem.
ling, Miese, Capital Dome, Mountain
View, Waterloo, Hondale, Tnnis, CO
Town, etc. On this committee per,
sons are generally selected who ar
capable Of directing some important
part of the community program.
l4.) An agricultural council, con
sisting Of the president Of the bureai
and the chairmen of the various
community committees. The council
meets at the call Of the president an'
Terminates the agricultural program
for the entire county and makes rec
concentrations TO the executive com
mittee which meets monthly to trans
Tact all the business Of the bureau.

The chief essentials for a success
a ful farm bureau is a membership O
g men big enough in mind and generou
8 enough in spirit TO be willing to co
: operate for the general welfare, d
e though il may cost some persons
a sacrifie. In these days millions O
men are being called upon TO max
/. personal sacrifices for commo
b cause, aud no individual nor any on
/ Of the allied nations can pOssibl
j. hope for liberty only through II
n combined efforts Of all for the Der
J. eft Of all. This idea Of eo-operati'
d effort has so gripped the thought
v the world that even some theOlogiaI
K are asserting that salvation is not q
q individual affair only, whereby eae
/ person shall be rewarded accOrdiI
a to the good OF evil Of his indiyidu
m acts, but that il is tremendol

~ man race and mast he worked o.
re as a race.
Is The county farm bureau is a be-
eft to the farmer and stockman;
Is is the best means for the govemme
- to render proper and needed assis
ance and gives the individual a sple
did opportunity to show his bigne
by not giving the usual howl If I
interests are subordinated to soI
more worthy object.
