The Herald is common ignorant and
low-brOwed enough to ask someone to
tell us why the Office of county agent
is worth what it costs the taxpayers.
This Office was wished on the county
during the war as one of means Of
licking Germany and the people stool
for it as they stod for lot Of other
stuff at the time. We believe that in
these days Of defatiOn and low prices
and hard times economy should be ef-
fected in county and state government
and the place to begin is where we
left off. We feel that the farmer mem
bers Of the county board and many OF
the town members think the same way
but when the county board meets not
a man will stand up and assert him
self. No one wants to take the lead
although by so doing the board win
the applause of the people. We have
yet to hear a single farmer say he
could see any advantage in this idea
of having county agent. Instead
most of them knock it. This must
not be construed as an attack OH the
present county agent although we
suppose he will so construe it. In
any event it is the way we feel about
the highest paid and least worth
while county office.

that American valuation was the

Opposition to the pending tar
iff measure is readily traced, as
serted Mr.. Fordney, mot to the
American producer, not to the
man who deals chiefly in Ameri-
can-made products, but to the man
whose chief interest is in bringing
the product of cheap foreign labor
to the American market"

discovered" that the depart
ment store that is leading the
fight against American valuation"
and is lone of Americas largest
importing establishments" reta1led
