The directors OF the Farm Bureau
and the Bates County Farmers Asso-
citation are to be congratulated uoon
their sensible action Monday in arriv-
ing at an agreement and effecting a
compromise whereby these two ex-
cellen, organizations may work III
harmony. There never was any rea!
reason why these two organizations
should have been at logeerhea,'s with
each other and their difficulties have
been simply the result of mis- mder.
standings which it is to be hoped will
not arise again. Each organization IS
valuable in its own field,--the Farm
Bureau in the educational and the
Farm Clubs in the marketing work,
and their work should be har,l,oni
ously carried on, each within its
clearly defined boundaries to the ulti
mate end that the best interests OF the
farmers OF Bates county be served ~
the utmost.

AN UNWIsE ACTION

A storm of protest has gone up al
over the county at the action of thu
county court in practically abolishine
the county truant officer, and thoss
who have the interests of the chill
dren and the schools at.heart are OK
pressing their dissatisfaction in n'
uncertain terms at what they term the
unwarranted action of the court.
While the fact that Truant Officer
Johnson is Democrat, no doubt JUS
tifies~the court in the eyes of the more
hidebound Republican politicians,
those Republicans, both men and
women who feel that school matters
should not be dragged into the politi-
cal arena do not approve of the short
sighted action of the court i'll this
matter, and they do not feel that d
public office of so much importah:t
to the educational system should be
so arbitrarily abolished.
The apportionment of money &c
the schools is based ,on attendance
and even though the interests of the
children who were placed and kept in
school through the efforts of the
truant officer were not to be consid-
cred, it would seem a good invest
1nent to maintain the truant officer if
only as means of increasing the fl
nances OF the schools of the county.
