Farm Agents Resolutions.

Farm Agents Resolutions.
At the late meeting of the farm
demonstration agents of the State,
held in Baton Rouge, the following
resolutions were submitted by the reso-
luton committee:
We, the regular appointed committee
on resolutions of the parish agents of
the State Of Louisiana, In conference
assembled, having given the proceed
ings of this meeting due consideration
beg to submit tie following resolu-
lions:
/. That we endorse the clause in
the Constitution Of 1921 for the perma-
nent endowment and support Of the
Louisiana State University, so as to en-
able the University to develop and
maintain greater agriculture college
as one of the most important steps that
has ever been taken toward advancing
the prosperity Of our State. And we
wish to congratulate the members Of
the convention for their wisdom and
patriotic public spirit in embodying in
the Constitution, a provision of such
far-reaching benefit to the farming
population of Louisiana.
2 That to Governor J. NJ. Parker
the thanks of our people are especially
due for his able, earnest, and effective
appeals for funds sufficient to. provide
for the young people Of Louisiana an
agricultural college equal to the best in
the United States, and for the con-
sideration he has shown the farming
interest of the State by including the
building Of the greater agricultural
college among the salient features Of
his administration.
3. That we extend our thanks to Col
Thos. d. Boyd for his untiring effort
and diligence In seeing. that proper
measures were taken by the Constitu-
tional Convention, insuring greater
agricultural college for the State Of
Louisiana.
4. That the agents give more
thought to the making out Of their
weekly reports and to the collection Of
outstanding human interests stories
and facts that might be Of interest as
news items.
s. That the recommendation Of GER
titled seed to farmers, according to the
methods outlined by the pathologist
and horticulturists, is the proper
course to take iii the control Of mosaic
disease Of Irish potatoes
6. We recommend that the county
agents annual meeting in the future be
held some time before or after the club
boys' and girls short course SO as to
give the agents an opportunity to be
with their club members during the
short course.
Z. That we are convinced Of the
value Of a county agents permanent
record OF his activities in the upbuild-
ing Of extension work and We pledge
ourselves, individually, to prepare
annually, such record to be kept in
the agents Office.
8. That we extend our hearty APP
probation to the hardware dealers,
merchants, and other business men
who have contributed prizes to the club
boys and girls and especially to all the
bankers. merchants, police juries,
chamber OF commerce, school boards,
and private individuals who have con-
tributed scholarships, making 1t pos
sible for these boys and girls to attend
the short course.
o. We again recommend that the ex-
tension department arrange with the
specialist, including women and girls
work, to have circular letters Of In
formation or instruction and question

to find the place where the man had
fallen, but there was no sign Of him
anywhere.
Tonnibel did not sleep at all that
night. But very early in the morning
she arose and slipped into DR.. Paurs
room and put back the medicine DR..
John had given her.
During the morning DR.. John Pen
dlehaven softly entered her room. he
came forward. his hands outstretched.

Darling little girl" he whispered,
with much emotion. "You have saved
my brothers life. The villain, who
ever he was. put the rankest kind Of
poison in 1t. He must have gotten 1t

He watched the tall thin boy walk
slowly away in deep meditation. Then
he laughed and went below to the
cabin.
Almost week after Reggie's futile
attempt to poison his Cousin Paul,
Tony Devon was sitting In her room,
reading, when a servant appeared and
told her some one wanted to see her
downstairs. Her heart bounded with
delight. for she was sure Philip had
come again and had sent for her. She
rushed to the glass, caught a glimpse
Of her rosy face. pushed back 8 few
stray curls and went downstairs to
the drawing room.
As she stepped inside, she came to
a sudden terrified halt. Her father
was seated in a large chair and his
eyes, red and swollen, were centered
upon her. Then he smiled, that wick

corridor and raped softly on John
Pendlehaven's apartments. Twice she
repeated her summons in nervous little
rap-taps that penetrated DR.. Johns
sound slumbe1. When he recognized
har, opened the door and noticed how
white she was, he drew her instantly
to him and shut the door.
Between chattering teeth she began
to tell him the dreadful tale. As she
went on Sith the story the listeners
face grew much concerned.

he cried, taking a long breath. my
God, who could be so damnable as
that? Come, let me get the stun"
Together they stole back to Tonni-
bells room and DR.. John carried away
the medicine with him, leaving Tony
with a caution not to speak Of the
matter to his brother. Putting on his
clothes, John went outside and made

she said no more. To tell him who
the man was would mean to break the
solemn oath she had made on the
Christ to her mother.
A timid knock brought the conversa-
ton to a close. Mrs. Curtis was at
the threshold when Pendlehaven open
i. ed the door.
i've been looking the house over
for you. John," she began. Boys got
a headache! He said for you not to
bother to come to him, but to give
me something to make him Sleep"
"Is he drunkr demanded Pendle-
haven.
Mrs. Curtis began to cry.
"John, how unkindl" she smiled
from the haven of her handkerchief.
"The moment the child complains ev-
erybody accuses him Of drinking. No,
Of course. he isn't drunk"
.
For many days Reginald Curtis
tossed fitfully in bed, tortured by the
thought that he would never cease

thick lips when he had succeeded in
some evil thing.
Hello, Tony" he chuckled. you've
made fine nest for yourself, huh?"
Tony only stared at him. She felt
suffocated by his sudden appearance.
'T came to talk to you, kid" he
said, the wheedle coming into his
tones that always augured bad for
the person addressed. "Slt down."
Tonnibel sat, not because he told
her to, but because she couldn't stand
on her trembling legs.
"You don't appear to he very tickled
to see your old dad" he threw at
her, frown wrinkling his face. "Get
up and come over here" His wicked
eyes seemed to be swallowing her
whole. In fact Devon could not make
himself believe this beautiful creature
was the Tony who, he thought, had
been drowned in the lake. He felt
q new sensation within him as his
gaze took in every line Of the lovely
figure.
"Come over here" he said once
more, "and tell me how you got out
Of the lake that night. Did you swim
ashore?"
Tonnibel shook her head.
I'm not going to tell you anything"
she murmured almost inaudibly.

Devon, getting to his feet.

There seemed to be no escape for her

weak, sick man upstairs.

Uriah glared at her. went white and
