A rumor was in circulation yesterday
that Joseph II Gollncr Of North Wheel

and Mr.. Gollner most emphatically de-

most of them that I entered the race.
Whether Mr.. Tester does or does not
come out will be in the fight and 7 am

Since Camden (Bud) fancy announced
himself as candidate in the NTH ward
the aspect Of tho race has changed in
that section. as Mr.. fancy is receiving
generous promises of support and Is
rapidly forging up with the rest Of the
candidates who were in the field before

the newspaper business has shaped him
TO handle any question and as the POSI-

Mr.. fancy enjoys the unique distinction
Of being the youngest man ever elected
to the city council. He represented the
third war when he was twenty-three
years Of age.

new FARM AGENT
Lieut.. f. O. BIecha, Greenwood,
To Fill Shawnee Office.
Will Begin Active Work Here
February 10.

Shawnee county has at last hired a
county farm agent. At a meeting of
the county farm bureau Thursday
evening. r. o. Blecha of Greenwood
was chosen for the place and will take
office about February 10. Blecha fin
ished at Manhattan last spring, it is
said, and since then has been in the
army as a second lieutenant in the ar
tillery.
The office of the county farm agent
has been vacant since the resignation
of A. ID. Folker became effective last
August. For a few weeks thereafter
Miss Nally Fox had temporary charge
of the office and for the last five
months Miss Irene Taylor, emergency
home demonstration agent has been
looking after the office as best she
could in connection with her regular
work.
The county farm bureaus thruout
the state are becoming more and more
important in relation to the agricul-
tura1 development of the country and
Shawnee county has been seriously
handicapped without an agent.

gress. Under the bill all youths upon
completion OF the training period as
fixed by the president, would go into
a national reserve for call in case OF
necessity. Priority of service would
be placed upon the youngest annual
class
Explaining his bill Senator New said
| it PROPOSES that in training youths,
| they preferably should be called for
the scheduled continuous training per-
| iod in their nineteenth year. Those
who are sole support for parents,
wives or children would be excused
| unless the government should con-
| tribute to their dependents during the
training period. Men in training
would receive only nominal pay. The
| bill also provides for commissions for
/ to the rank of major or lieutenant
commander in the national reserve
| the one for the army reserves and the
| other for the naval reserves.
