CAUGHT A BIG BASS

Patsy Mcdaniel on Saturday had
the luck to catch five and half
pound bass below the bridge using
an artificial bait. Patsy is one fish
erman and knows the game from A
to lizard. He can not only catch
'em but he can tell by Il glance of
the eye how much a fish weighs,
where other men use the fish scales
to tell the weight of their catch and
then multiply by three.

THE COMING TENT MEETING

Now that Knox County has per-
manent and strong organization to
handle the three days Farmers Com
munity Meetings in July, people are
beginning to ask questions about the
meeting and the program. Two pro-
grams will be held each day, one at
three p. m. and another at eight p.
m. This plan has been developed to
enable the busy farmer and his en-
ergetic wife to take care of the days
work before coming to the meetings.
The committee believes that the spir-
it of these meetings will be helped
by the people bringing light lunch
with them, so that between the af-
ternoon and evening program, a pic
MIC supper may be held on the
grounds. This will allow the farmer,
the business man and their families
to. chat with their neighbors and
friends, thus making these meetings
real community affairs.
The meetings will be held in a
big auditorium tent which will seat
700 people quite comfortably. The
tent Is to be lighted by electricity
and small motion picture machine
will be installed so that four of five
reels of fine educational pictures
may follow the one. evening talk.
The Department of Agriculture at
Washington, the National Red Cross.
The State Board of Health and the
state Commissioners of Roads will
furnish thes, films. Among these
reels there will be those which will
Interest both children and adults.
Two II the reels will tell the story
of the boys and girls who, as state
champions in club work. visited
Washington City for several days
and took in the sights and inspect
ed the work of the Agricultural
Department. Another film shows
the construction of concrete silo;
another gives in full the use of Sc
rum in hog choleraj and others will
deal with health and poultry raising.
The growing and handling of straw
berries comparatively in Warren Co.
will also be shown in motion pictures
The People in Knox County should
make their arrangements right now
to be present at these meetings.
Four speakers will be used each day
in addition to the motion pictures.
Last, but by no means least. will be
the social part of these meetings.
The person attending the meetings
will be sure to meet. old friends and
new friends from all parts of the
county and this in itself will help
make the meetings thoroughly worth
while. Let the program be plain
luncheons and lots of sociability.
