WILLIAMS CHAMPIONS
COUNTY. AGENT CAUSE
SAYS IN Statement

II have always been in favor of hir-
ing an agricultural agent" said c. o.
Williams, county superintendent of
schools. in answering a charge made
by opponents that he had hampered
county agent work and prevented the
hiring of an agent. 81 believed, how
ever, that the initiative should come
from the farmers and that we should
not hire an agent before the farmers
wanted him.
LAS soon as the farmers showed the
desire, l called the board together and
We hired an agent. If had been &C.
tually opposed, l could have refrained
from calling the board meeting and no
action toward the hiring of an agent
could have been taken.
Il have always voted for an agent
whenever the question came up, but
the townships and their trustees
would not consent until four years
ago. At that time called in Isaac
Wilson, A l.. Baldwin. Everett Hunt,
and other representative farmers of
the county, and told them that we
were ready to hire an agent whenever
the farmers wanted one. The first
agent was hired Immediately after
wards"
Cites Former Efforts
Mr.. Williams said he has exerted
strong efforts in behalf of the present
agent, and it is due solely to his in
fluence that Wayne county still has
the services of an agricultural agent
There is strong movement in the
courthouse" said Mr.. Williams, fog
the removal of the agent. and l have
had hard time to defeat it,
Asked about agricultural instruction
in the school courses, Williams re-
piled: II have advocated agricultural
| instruction in the schools, and. in fact,
there is instruction in the seventh
| and eighth grades, as required by law
I have advocated agricultural instruc,
ton in the high schools also, but the
schools which have had such instruc
ton have asked for a change back to
manual training instruction.
| II have tried to put Smith-Hughes
men in the high schools ALSO" said
Mr.. Williams, but the townships dc
not want them. The only thing that
is possible in agricultural instruction
in high schools with their present at
titude, is to put in regular courses
under high school teachers"

the coming of prohibition.
He presented a mass of detailed in
formation showing the benefits of pro
hibition during the past two years al
though as yet prohibition has only
been partially enforced. He cited the
fact that returns from SO of the larg
est cities in the country showed tota
arrests for all causes in 1920 of 100,
76S as against 316,S42 arrests in the
same cities in 1917.
Figures were quoted showing the
beneficial results of prohibition in In

against a return of the saloon. Mr.
Nicholson charged great laxity Of
law enforcement in this city, and sale
responsibility for it lay at the doc,
of the officials. He said the time hat
come when the good citizens of the
city should get together and demand
the enforcement of prohibition. "StoI
the bringing in of liquor from Hamil
ton and other places" Mr. Nicholson
said. IF officers will not do the duty
citizens should take steps to supplant
them by others who will enforce the
law impartially."
The speaker called attention TO the
new prohibition enforcement bill in
induced in congress recently by Mr.
.tplstead This measure would pro
shibit the use of beer as medicine anc
aprovidesesome other restrictions. the
necessity for Which has grown out o
