FAVORS A COUNTY FAIR

As a social factor the County Fair is one of the best means that know to bring the farmers and his farmer neighbors to- gether in a friendly hand shake, mingling with one an other, exchanging good will, and discussing the many farm problems that confront him. The city boys and girls meet the boys and girls of the country, a lasting friendship is the result.
 Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel and have good coun- ty fair in Monroe county this year-1o1o.

AGENT BECK TO
 MONROE PARENTS
To Make Clubs a Success the Parents Must Help. They Should Give Every Aid
 Possible.

It can be safely stated that the success of the Boys and Girls Club Work hinge largely upon the cooperation given by the parents. I am of the opinion that the parents do not realize fully just what their hearty CO., operation means in promoting this work among their boys and girls. Cooperation of the par ents in the Club Work should mean this:
 1. Assisting in selecting plots in demonstration and seeing that these plots are accurately measured according to rule.
 2. Furnishing implements and allowing the boy and girl suffi- cient time in which to prepare, plant and cultivate their gar den or plots according to in- structions.
 3. Assisting in getting the best plants, seeds, pigs, poultry, etc.
 4. Explaining any letter or bulletin of instructions that may not be clear, to the boys and girls and helping them keep their daily record blanks.
 ,. Permitting the boys and girls to attend the monthly club meetings and not only permit. ting them to attend but seeing. to it that they do attend.
 6. Seeing that their crops are harvested and weighed accord ingly to instructions.
 7. Giving encouragement so that the boys and girls will feel that their corn, tomatoes, pigs, poultry or whatever is grown is their own and giving to the boys and girls a part if not all of the proceeds of their labor, taking cut of course any expense the parents may have borne in as sisting their children in growing crop or live stock.
 8. Encourage the boys and girls to start banks account with their surplus money, how ever little it may be.
 R. W. Beck, County Agent.
The Brinkley argus., 1919-05-16

submit the following as our re- port: Realizing it is quite late to undertake such a huge task, and yet worthy of every thoughtful and progressive teachers consideration and ac- tivities, and that it is necessary to be prompt, we bring to you these recommendations:
 1. That all licensed teachers in the county will pay two (S2) dollars for the support of Fair, this to be paid by June goth, 1919.
 2. Every teacher is required to collect from his or her school five ($5) dollars for the sup port of the Fair.
 3. The Fair to be held on the 18th day Of september, 1913, at the place which gives most money and provides for ample accommodations for the occasion. 4. All monies which are given for the support of the Fair must he in the hands of the treasurer on or before the 18th day of July, 1919.

COOPERATION
SUCCEEDS VAR
IN COLORADO
BY FREDERICK N. kERsv.

New York, July 2O.-Industrial COR
porations seeking some plan OF CO.
operation with their employees to re-
duce industrial unrest and secure more
harmonious relations are turning 10
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company's
experience with its industrial repre-
sentation plan.
No more Incorporating field could
have been selected for test of indus
trial democracy then the c. F. & /.
The plan was inaugurated following
a visit to Colorado by John -. Rookie
II Low. Jr., in 1915. after one of tho
most bitter industrial struggles in the
history of the country. in which the
bloody battle of Ludlow will always
be remembered.
In an endeavor to prevent q recur-
renee OF such a disaster. the c. r. q I.
drew up an industrial constitution en-
bodying a plan by which every worker
would be represented equally with the
employers and way opened for the
presentation and settlement by joint
conference of every possible grievance.
Sullen and suspicious, the employees
at first looked on the new plan an
merely another camouflage to prevent
unionization of the mines. The Miners
Union, partially defeated in the strike
denounced it. But 1t was adopted on
a referendum vote by the worl<men-
with some not voting-and has been
in effect now for more than three
years. What are the results? How
has II worked?
The other day twelve men-six of
them steel workers in their overalls.
six of them officials Of the company
sat around a table at the Minnequa
Steel Works and argued the case OF a
steel worker who was charged SO at
the company dispensary for the sewing
up of scalp wound received In a fight.
The workmen explained that this en-
ploye was not to blame for the fight
and they thought his SO should be re-
turned to him. After thrashing the
matter out the full committee agreed
that this was just, and the chief sur
geon was ordered to hand the employee
the SO.
The twelve men were q joint COM
mittee selected as part OF the mach

Your blacklist hit us hard at first.
We had to buy through two or three
