MISS WEED RED
CR0SSNURSEI IS
CALLED TO WEST
POPULAR OFFICIAL Is FORCED
TO RESIGN BECAUSE OF ILL
NESS OF SISTER.
PLACE VACANT FOR PRESENT
But Chairman Orr and Members of
Executive Committee of Chapter
Hope to Find a Successor at an Ear
ly Date-Was Very Popular.
(From Fridays Daily Herald)

(From Fridays Daily Herald.)
Miss Louise Weed, Red Cross nurse
for this county. since the first of the
year, has rendered her resignation to
Chairman Gilbert M. Orr, of the Mau-
ry Chapter, and will be no longer con
nected with the chapter. Miss Weeds
resignation was due to the critical
ILLNESS of her sister, who has been
taken to Denver, Colo, to a santa
rium in the hope that her health can
be restored. Miss Weed felt that it
was her duty to nurse her sister in
her critical condition and she there
fore rendered her resignation.
During her brief stay of three
smonths in this county Miss Weed has
performed a remarkably fine work.
She has visited all sections of the
county, examined scores of children
in the schools, assisted the wOmen's
community clubs and delivered dozens
of lectures on the subjects of health
and hygiene and improved living con
ditions. She was popular everywhere
she went and the news that she will
be no longer connected with the Red
Cross will be received with genuine
regret
Necessarily for the present the Of
flee of Red Cross nurse for the coun.
ty will be vacant. However, Chair
man Orr and the members of the ex.
ecutive committee hope that an avail
able successor will be found at an
early date. The importance of the
work has been more generally recog-
nized since Miss Weed has been here
and the members of the Red Cross
will be reluctant to give it up.

FIVE HUNDRED
DAIRY FARMERS
INCOUNTY NOW
AGENT M'LEAN ESTIMATES THAT
NUMBER ARE SELLING CREAM
AND MILK.
INDUSTRY GROWS VERY Rapid
Less Than Fifty Probably In Mau.
ry When He Came to This County
Four Years Ago-Is Most Profitable
Feature Of Farming at Present.

There are not less than five hun
dred farmers in the county who are
now selling milk according to an es,
innate made by County Agricultural
Agent Evan A. Mclean, No interest
of tho county has grown with such
rapidity as the dairy interest during
the four years since Mr.. Mclean came
to the county. Four years ago there
were less than two score of farmers
who were milking cows for CONNER
cial purposes i'm the bounds of the
county. At that time there were no
creameries or even cream stations
and most of the milk that was consum-
ed in Columbia was bought from a
comparatively few people.
Now under the influence of two big,
modern creameries and cream stations
that have been established, stimulat-
ed by the activities OF the county
agent, the dairy products of the farms
are rapidly reachin ga, point where
they promise soon to rival some of the
live stock that is produced here. In
fact already the dairy industry is a
bigger one than the sheep industry
and has actually paid more profits
than any line of activity on the farms
dnring the past year.
Discussing the dairy situation
Agent Mclean declared that it was a
common thing for farmers to tell
him that had it not been for their
cows they would have shown loss
during the past year. Mr.. Mclean
says that from his observations the
small farmers OF the county who are
in the best shape now all have cows.
Their income is regular and is paid
to them in cash at least once each
month enabling them to meet their
bills promptly. or. if they desire, to go
on cash basis. The season has
been unusually favorable because pas
lures have been early and the feed
bills have been greatly reduced.
Another. factor contributing to the
success of the dairy farmer is that
their product is the only one of the
farm that has not deprecated in
price to a prevail level, While butter
fat prices have declined they have
not yet reached anything like point
corresponding with the values of 9th
er farm products.

Within a few days a. drive will be

vehicle taxes for the current year. So
Tar the appeals for the payment OF
these taxes have apparently fallen on

The highway department ia very

practically no funds with which to
DO anything. 1t is recognized that
