BACK HIS SIGHT
National Social Con
ference Startled by
Speakers Tale.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 2S.-A
profound sensation was created last
night among 1000 delegates to the
National Social conference mere
when Miss Frances Perkins, nem-
Der Of the New York State Indus
trial commission told them size and
her conferees had cured a victim
OF hysterical blindness by relieving
him Of his lawful wife and allowing
him to remain true to the woman
whom he had wed in bigamy.
Hearers Are Dumbfounded.
Miss Perkins paused after relat-
ing the experience. For a moment
there was a great hush and then a
swift buzzing swept the big hall.
What do you know about that?''
exclaimed one startled worker,
turning to a girl who sat beside
her. 1T was ultra-modern, to say
say the least" came the answer.
Believe me, that was going
some," said one New York delegate.
First Wife SUnkind."
"T5e man had come before the
board seeking inductrial compen-
sation," related Miss Perkins. "He
was tCta;1y bifnd. yet his eye re
flexes were perfect. Until he met
with a slight accident he had been
able to see as we'll as anyone. In
vestigation revealed the victim to
be suffering from neurosis. We
suspected some fear was preying on
his mind. Acute questioning
brought out the truth. The man
was living in bigamy with a WON
an who, by all moral laws, was his
wife because she loved him and he
loved her. The first wife had been
unkind and he had deserted her"

Great Value Of County Agent
Work Being Realized
In ) Tennessee.

The sentiment in favor of Ex-
tension work in Tennessee is
growing stronger with each pas
sing year is evidenced by the
action taken by several county
courts at their July terms. The
McNairy County court, in regu-
lar quartely session, by a vote
of rs to 15. passed an appropria-
ton for the employment of a
county agent.
Lake County voted an approp-
ration for a home demonstration
agent. This work was disconti-
nued in the county last Decem-
ber, but realizing the Importance
of the work decided that thev
could not get along without an
agent. The place will be filled
at an early date according to
Miss Ruth Arey, district home
demonstration agent.
The Cheatnam County court
voted an APPROPRIATION for the
employment of an agricultural
agent. The court was met by
]. M. Dean. district Agent, and
only two votes were cast aginst
the appropriation. The county
has been without an agent for
two years and the court was
anxious to re instate the work.
In Sullivan County where the
vote on appropriations for county
agent work has been close here
tofore the court increased the
appropriation $500 by a vote Of
20 to 8.
County agricultural and home
demonstration work in Tenn
essee is accomplishing wonderful
things in the development Of
better farming and homes and
the people of the state as .
whole are more and more COM
ing to realize its value.
