be a dairy specialist, who will q,
from one dairy farm to another tC
assist the ranchers in getting the
most out of their dairy herds, super.
wise feeding, aid in getting records
and other data for the benefit OF the
ranchers.
Another OF the agents is to be a
poultry specialist. He will have
charge of the poultry experiment
station and be available for consul
tation with those who are going in
to that field OF activity; while the
general county agent will direct the
work OF the bureau in field crops
and marketing and all of the varied
lines OF agricultural endeavor.
While Canyon county is planning
on three county agents, there are
those in Malheur county who would
do away with the office entirely.
That spells the difference be-
tween the ranoher who is looking
into the future and who Is seeking
TO find his way out OF the present
despond by adopting new methods,
by being more efficient by using
the means at hand OF gaining infor-
nation as to more profitable crops
and more economical methods OF
production; and the man who plans
on cutting out all expenses and mere
ly staying in the rut.
Unless we accept the theory that
there is nothing new in agriculture;
that progress In that great field OF
endeavor has ceased, then there ia
need for a county agent and the In
formation that goes TO the farmer
through his office after It's worth has
been proven In the agricultural col
leges and in the experiment stations
of the federal department OF agri-
The only method so far devised
for the dissemination OF this infor-
nation and for the business like dis
tribution OF market information is
through the farm bureau. and we be-
lleve that the farmers OF Malhour |
county should have the opportunity
OF securing the advantages OF this
service.

RATHER RAW

Jail. II he is rich, and is prominent

the affidavit route and his trial ia
taken TO taken to his home town
where Il takes jury 25 minutes TO
free him, even though the officers
caught him with an auto load OF
booze.
II is Just such cases as that pre-
sented by the T.. A. Van Sicklin
fiasco that make bolsheviks. II IL
foolish to howl about the Non Parti-
san league and its socialistic pro-
gram when such travesties on JUS
tice are permitted.
II is about time that some of the
rich offenders against the law be
given to understand that the prohi-
bition law was made for the rich as
we'll as the poor, and that the courts
learn that II they are to have the re-
spect OF the people that they 80 ad-

When one remembers that more than
eighty per cent of the taxes in NAL

the justice of setting aside a portion,

Doctor Issues Warning
And Tells How to Stop
Tobacco Habit

New York: DR.. Conner, formerly Of
Johns Hopkins Hospital, says: I am
often asked if / know anything to
stop the tobacco habit and l always
recommend Nicotol, which I have pre-
scribed with great success. Nlcotol
contains no habit-forming drugs, is
absolutely harmless and produces as
tonishing results in a very short time.
The use of tobacco saps the vitality,
vim, vigor and ambition of the slave
who. is enthralled by it's seductive eff
fects. 1t undermines the health and
leaves the victim an easy prey to gen.
eral debility, throat and lung trouble,
nervousness, insomnia, heart trouble,
lin cancer and even blindness. Physi-
clans the world over often trace the
start of the above diseases and many
others to nicotine poisoning.
