Colonel Henry Watterson emerged
from his silence Of the past few
months with characteristic state
ment concerning the nomination Of

vention. Speaking over the telephone

the nomination of Governor Cox will
solidify the Democratic party in every
section Of the union. Mr.. Watterson
declared the selection Of Cox was the
best move possible and gives the Dem
ocrats a bouyant pressage Of victory
adding the following:
your nomination revitalizes De-
mocracy. 1t will stir the Democratic
heart OF the union with reflection OF
a triumphant past and the forecast OF
the radiant future. The genius OF
destiny lays loving hands upon the
Buckeye boy and with laughing eyes
exclaimed,

MRS. MINNIE B. CHU RICH
CARTER COUNTY HOME
.DEMONSTRAT TOR ETURNS
FROM AN n UAL "A RIM
CON GRESS ST|LLW "A TE R

Mrs. Minnie b. Church, county
home demonstration, who attended the
Annual Farm Congress at saltwater,
returned Sunday morning and speaks
very enthusiastically of the work ac-
complished at the meeting
Mrs. Church said that Carter county
and Ardmore came in for lot Of
commentator and praise for the eff
fort put forth in the work here, and
especially for the Turner Falls camp
project which will likely become state.
wide Resolutions were passed by the
congress. thanking the people Of Car
ter county and Ardmore for the in
terest they have taken in putting the
proposition over, and John \. White
/ hurst, president of the State Board Of
/ Agriculture, assured Mrs. Church that
he would furnish the state landscape
gardener at her request - help beau
tify the site donated ut Turner Falls
for permanent camp.
Salaries Must BE Raised
In speaking of farm demonstration
for Carter county, Mrs. Church said
that the prospects We're not very flat
tering unless the board of county
commissioners would make arrange
ments to pay u salary in keeping
with the work, and in keeping with
what other counties in the state are
paying. Carter county pays only $l20
of the salary of the county agent, the
remaining $50 coming from the state
All who have tried the job state that
they cannot make a living for them
selves and family and furnish their
own transportation, for that amount
of money and have resigned.
Oother counties in the state have
raised their amounts until the salary
of the county agent IS such that he
can live, but Carter county at pres
ent is one Of the four in the state
that is without a county agent.
The commissioners of Usage county
pay the county agent $1,000 besides
what is received from state aid, and
this example is being followed by sew
eral other boards of commissioners
who deem the work Of such import
ance that they secure a good man
and pay him well for his services.
In speaking further of a county
agent, Mrs. Church said that every
effort was being made by the dis.
trict managers to secure good men
for every appointment to be filled,
but unless salaries were raised in
some counties there were going to be
more than four out Of the II counties
without a farm demonstrator another
year, because men mentally equipped
to hold this job have no trouble in
securing good positions at far better
salaries than that paid by the county
and state at this time
II was decided by the state agents
to hold their next annual meet at
/ Turner Falls next season, the date
ol which will be announced later.

LACK OF FUNDS CAUSES
WORK ON SEWER BELT
LINE TO Be STOPPED

On account of the lack of funds,
the Board Of Commissioners have or
dered the work on the belt line sewer,
being built in the southeast part Of
town, to be discontinued.
The fund created for this purpose
by the bond issue of 1918 has become
entirely depleted and there is no
money available for any more work
Of this kind.
Due to the formation Of the ground
in the vicinity Of the sewer in the
southeast part of Ardmore, the work
on it would extend over much
greater period of time than was orig
inally estimated.
No further action on the compile
ton of the sewer has been taken.
