COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MEETING

At the meeting Monday Of the coun-
ty commissioners a number of matters,
aside from allowing the regular bills,
we're acted upon. The one of most in
terest to the public was the question
II retaining county agent or not, for
ne coming year. Some fifty or more
citizens assembled to place their views
before the board and the session was
held IN the court room. The question
before the board was whether, in the
interest OF economy it would be well to
dispense with the services of county
agent for the coming year. 1t ap-
ueared from the discussions brought
out in this meeting that a general
Misunderstanding of the real question
was held by the public. Whether pur-
posely or not is not known but gen
eral understanding it seems had been
circulated that the board would pass
upon the advisability of continuing the
Farm Bureau instead of the CoInty
Agricultural Agent. A result was that
most of the discussion before the board
was as to the value of the Farm Bur
eau instead as to the advisability of
discontinuing the employment of
County Agricultural agent. The valu-
able service of the Farm Bureau to
the Lincoln county farmers was not
a matter of dispute. 1t was not a
question before the commissioners
It was a question on which all pres
ent agreed and yet it was the ques-
ton which nearly every speaker in
sisted in talking upon. The result
was that the commissioners were no
wiser the discussion than before as
to whether the tax payers wishd to
save the seven OF eight thousand dol
lars it coste to employ a county
agent. The commissioners took it
under advisement and later decided to
continue to employ a county agent
but to change agents at an early date.
The commissioners found, as have
the members of the legislature, every
tax payer wants the other fellow to
conomize. No tax payer seems will
ing to surrender any advantage he
personally gets from public expendi-
lures. He is dead sure that economy
should only apply to the other fellow.

yFM MELVIN BREAKS
WORLD RECORD

NJ. Melvin formerly OF the Journal
shop, broke the world record as limo
type operator last Saturday night on
the Salt Lake Tribune. He worked
off the hook" dumped his own stick
ana fed metal to his own machine and
also made His correction and set S5,-
700 ems of six point in six hours and
foi1y-five minutes. This reduced to
every day language means that he set
200 lines, or an average of 400 lines
an hour His average was about seven
lines a minute. His machine was set
10 eight and Il half lines a minute so
that il is evident that most of the
time he kept the machine working to
it's limit This amount of work requires
that he touch the keys approximately
10000 times. The type he set would
more than fill two pages of the Journal
and by the old hand set process it
would require ten men to set the same
amount Of type in the same time, an
they would have to go some to do 1t.
Mr. Melvin learned the linotype in the
eooding Leader office at time when
the present editor of the Journal was
IN charge of the Leader.
Melvin was an apt pupil and early
developed two qualities which led to
his late triumphant position at the
head of the profession. He developed
speed and accuracy. In this world
beating feat Saturday he had but seven
lines to correct out of 2700 set. Mel
win has a number of old friends here
who will rejoice at his well earned
Bonors.
