, else their plans and their work, and
had promised to keep my hands of
of everything they did. / had said
in my paper that it would be the duty
of all of us excepting the county
commissioners to 60 right along and
keep saving wood at the various oc-
cupations that we understood and
leave the commissioners in full
charge of, road construction.
When they came back from their
trip and were looking for a man to
put in full charge of all construction
work, people Of various communities
put forward their favorite road sup
ervisors and suggested that they be
put In charge of all the work in the
county, they decided to bring in a
big man, a man Of large experience,
from somewhere else and put him in
charge of all the road work in the
county and to ask him to use as
many of the road supervisors for his
lieutenants as he could. 1t was hard
for people to keep their hands off of
this management and they protested
bitterly.
Whenever the county commission
ers sat down to consider what kind
of road machinery they would buy I
always wished that l could sit with
them and hear everything that was
said and see whit they did. l was
afraid that some graft might creep
in in the purchase of road machinery
but they held so many meetings and
at such unexpected times and places
soon found that had lost all track
of the situation, and l could only
publish some news items occasionally
about what had been purchased.
There was an element in the
county that was determined to have
nothing but concrete roads built, and
there was another element equally
determined that there should be no
concrete used excepting in bridges
and culverts. There was an element
in the county that considered that
most of the work should be done by
machinery because wages were so
high. There was another element
that was equally determined that the
commissioners should buy as little
machinery as possible and spend the
money for labor rather than sending
it out of the county for machinery.
When we started the agitation for
this road construction in the sum-
mer of 1918 it was confidently ex-
pected that by the time we got the
bonds sold the following spring that
prices Of labor would be down and
there would be a great many men out
of employment, especially the SOL
diers returning from the war. But
it was very difficult to find men and
build up an organization for road
work, and 1t all cost money. By the
end. of June the county superinten-

ANNUAL MEETING
OF FARMERS Held
F arm Bureau Members
Elect New Board
of Directors

The annual farm bureau meeting
was held Thursday in the Orpheum
theater with an attendance of about
fifty members. This is not a great
many in proportion to the member
ship, but those present were repre-
sentatives from every section Of the
county and for this reason the meet
ing was perhaps the most successful
one in the history of the bureau in
this section.
The meeting opened with Presi-
dent Everett Green in the chair and
the report of the finance committee
was read and accepted. This report
will be published in later issue.
The county agent, Walter F.
Thomas, then gave his report Of the
years work and also an outline Of
the work he would atempt to do the
coming year. He laid great stress on
the community work that has al
ready been started and has been
found to be of great benefit to every
one concerned. Each community
likes to know what the other one is
doing and this causes very active
interest with each one trying to lead.
In each community there is now a
community leader and whatever
other officers 1t is thought necessary
to have and these co-opcrated very
closely with the farm bureau and
each helps to solve the problems of
the other.
All the old members that thought
they could remain on the farm
bureau board were retained and the
rest filled in by election. Those re-
tanned were Eric Sundquist, Ralph
Davis and A. D. Fitch. The newly
elected members are Amos Kelsey, ].
H. Nelson, Charles Pratt, J. L.
Robertson, Mark Shawver and
George A. Line.
c. B. Ross Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation spoke ON the ac-
complishments of the farm bureau
since its organization.

Mr.. Mehl also gave in detail the re-

received when he entered the hall of
the convention. For thirteen minutes
he was cheered enthusiastically. The
delegates and thousands Of visitors
stood on their chairs, singing the Hat
ikvoh, and they acclaimed "Long live
Weitzmann."
Mr.. Mehl also stated that the Texas
delegates made a good impression at
the convention, and they took a very
active part in the deliberations, and
they were admired and respected
among all the delegates for their tact
and courtesy to all other delegates.
The Yiddish press in Cleveland gave
the Texas delegation very nice send
off.
For more than an hour and half
Mr.. Mehl talked about the convention,
but found it impossible in that length
Of time to tell all the interesting pro-
ceedings Of the convention.
Some people called the convention
the Sandhedrin Hagdaloh or Historic
and Koved, but Mr. Mehl stated ITO
my opinion should be called the ope,.
alton convention, because the major
ity Of the delegates made a very SER
ious operation on the Zionist move
ment in America, and he hoped the
operation wuold prove a big success,
that after this convention, the Zionists
Of America will feel the responsibility
and the exceptionally large work they
must accomplish in order to realize
what the Zionist movement stands
for"

ed, and by motion made by Mr.. L.

was given Mr.. Mehl for his report,

ity to pay the Skolim, in order to be
able to send n delegate to the Con-
gress which will take place in Carls,
