III. D. A's"-wHAT ARE THEY?

Just exactly what is Home De-
monstration Agent? There are
many not only in Cecil County, but
in other Counties who are asking
this question. Miss Florence Ward,
who is in charge of the Extension
Work with Women in the Northern
and Western States, in recent
paper made these remarks:
Home Demonstration Agents af-
ford an avenue by which the State
Agricultural Colleges and the United
States Department of Agriculture
offer the practical results of their
research and experiments in home
economics to the county.
They also encourage the house
wives to bring from their store of
practical knowledge and experience
the lessons they have learned in
home management that will be
valuable to other women in the
community, and they help to make
this information available to all.
The Home Demonstration Agent
is teacher who makes liberal use
of the practical demonstration rath-
er than lecture or textbook. The
most successful Home Demonstra-
ton Agents aim to train local lead
ers who, by putting the best prac-
tees into their own homes, extend
the instruction to larger numbers OF
women.

monstration Agent. She is at your
service!

The dollar now is worth 63.2 cents in
comparison with the purchasing power OF
the 1913 greenback, according to the re-
ports Of the Department OF Labor. In
June the dollar was worth but $50 cents.
Experts at the Labor Department, who
began to sit up with the dollar when it
began to take on ailments and lose weight
in 1914 believe that the patient must con-
tinue to improve for many months yet
before the bottom of falling prices is
reached. The financial physicians of the
Department are taking the dollars tenn

charting each degree of convalescence.
Since the dollar began to improve In June
it has taken on total of 1915 cents of
weight. The significance of this is that
it amounts to salary or income increase
