ton OF suitable man for this field

Mr.. Ballard came 10 have the neces-
sary papers signed In order that he
might look for a suitable man for the

In explaining the duties OF work
of such a man Mr.. Ballard stated
that the state and government CO.
operated with each county that took
up such work and devote an equal
amount toward defraying the expen-
sc. Harney county provided $4,000
for this purpose In making up the
budget and therefore this amount will
be matched by the state. thus giving
$4,000 TO this important work during
the coming year.
The extension worker takes up all
agricultural problems Of the county
but works under the direction of a
farm bureau. or committee OF men
selected from farmers and stock men
OF the county. who formulate the
plans. For instance just at present
the most important work In that line

flict, the men of the North and the men of
the South at last ceased TO struggle, the
Northerners victorious the Southerners bled
white and exhausted.
The Stars and Bars were furled forever and
the Stars and Stripes again acknowledged as
the banner which would wave supreme over
this fair land
But the surrender was followed by years
and years of hard feeling and of bitterness
The soldier Of the Confederacy, growing old
and gray and passing to that land from
whose bourne no traveller returns, handed to
his sons a lineage of hate, which they in turn
passed on to their children.
In a less marked degree the factional
hatred was manifest in the North. Under a
surface of brotherly love, hearts beat which
entertained anything other than feelings of
affection for the men in blue who were bat
tied by the men in gray-for the men in gray
who were battled by the men in blue
Then came the Spanish American war,
with veterans who had worn the gray lead
ing, while wearing the nations blue, the
khaki-clad sons of the men who wore the
"blue and the gray"
With the ending of this war the feeling
of factional hatred was less marked between
the men of the North and the men of the
South, but a modicum of it yet remained,
poisoning the air they breathed and harden
ing the hearts of the "sons of veterans"
And then from across the waters came
the cry of the civilized nations of the earth,
the cry which appealed to every red-booded
American to grid his loins and go forth to
do battle against the common enemy, the
enemy which was laundering at the very
citadel of civilization
And when the armistice was signed and
the German hordes acknowledged defeat, the
people of America realized, knew were con-
Vlnced beyond the ghost of doubts shadow
that we are in truth and in fact a people of
one nation, people bending the knee to
but one master, the Lord God of Hosts, and
saluting but one flag the Stars and Stripes.
Washed out in the blood of those who
now sleep on Flanders field, the North as a
sectional center, passed away-the South, as
the home of the Confederacy, ceased to exist.
But it remained for the Democracy of the
United States to take the final step, the step
which meant the wiping away of all factional
hatred, the sponging from the slate of the
last vestige of the mythical Mason and Dixon
line. This was done when the DemocraticI

the blood-lust, the sons Of the North and

of the men who had fought for the inde-

who had declared this to be one nation, sons
Of the men who had framed the American

flag, the men from the North came down upon
the men from the South, laying waste with
fire and sword, whie-the men Of the South,
